After a while he found an iron key, handed it to him and said, "I've found it. You must keep it safe. We can trade again when we find the deed to the land."
Li Dafu took the key and a big smile appeared on his face. Seeing that he really didn't want to accept the money, he didn't force him.
I put those things back into my bag, walked out the door and said, "Let's get together tonight. Thank you, brother!"
Tian Xiaolan glared at Shi Shichang and questioned him, "Director Shi, why did you sell it to him and not to me? Is it because I get less money than him? I thought you were a good person, but you're actually a corrupt official!"
Li Dafu curled his lips in disdain, his eyes full of disgust, and said mercilessly: "Keep your voice down, don't talk about my brother, my brother is also dedicated to doing big things, you little girl should go back and drink milk!"
Shi Shichang smiled and said, "Brother, it's just a small matter. You go first and I'll stop her."
Tian Xiaolan received the signal and was about to go over and snatch the key from Li Dafu's hand, but he guarded it tightly and ran away.
"Good brother, I'll come to see you in the evening! Wait for me!"
After Shi Shichang waited for him to leave, he opened the red envelope and found it was smooth to the touch, without a single real money inside. He really underestimated him. After a few years of being out there, he had even become a swindler.
Wei Wenjie saw that he was really walking downstairs towards the door before he closed it: "You can tell me now."
"It's a good thing you noticed something was wrong. I trusted him too much and was too careless." He covered his head and felt a headache.
Tian Xiaolan: "Well, you are all childhood friends, it's normal that you didn't notice. He came to you at night, probably to ask for information, you have to be careful! He shouldn't be alone."
Tian Xiaolan told him her thoughts, which coincided with his. Since he dared to ask her out, he had to go. He didn't believe that he could dare to do anything to him outside.
Tian Xiaolan knew that she would definitely go, so all he could do now was to tell Captain Luo and make arrangements in advance.
Tian Xiaolan said to Wei Wenjie, "Go follow him first, don't let him find out. Find out where he lives and who he interacts with, and then come back and tell me."
Wei Wenjie ran out quickly, leaving Shi Shichang and Tian Xiaolan behind.
Shi Shichang felt that he didn't need to do anything, he just had to meet Li Dafu in the evening.
"Don't worry, I will go find Captain Luo later, set up some surveillance, and try to capture them all today." Tian Xiaolan told him her plan.
"Maybe he was forced? Otherwise, let me tell you when I see him." Shi Shichang still found it hard to believe that his former friend had turned into a liar.
"Director Shi, you can't be confused at this time. If you run away after being discovered by them, who knows how many people they will harm. Think about it!" After saying this, Tian Xiaolan walked out, leaving Shi Shichang inside.
The sun rose outside, and the faint sunlight shone on the wall. Tian Xiaolan reached out to feel it, and the golden light on her hand was without any temperature.
There were only a few people in the courtyard below. Tian Xiaolan had nothing to do and had to wait for Shi Shichang's reply. She had cooperated with him quite well just now and didn't seem to disbelieve him. She was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag and alert the enemy.
Tian Xiaolan waited for a while and heard someone in the room calling her in.
He waited until she entered without closing the door, "Have you thought about it?"
"Even though he's my friend, I wouldn't side with him if he did something wrong to everyone. Don't worry, I know what to say."
Tian Xiaolan felt relieved after hearing this. Li Dafu had to wait until he got off work before coming over. It seemed that he could not go back today.
"The key?"
"It's useless. It can't open the door."
"I'm leaving now. See you later."
"I won't see you off. Let's go."
Tian Xiaolan planned to talk to Luo Guoqing about this matter first, and then went to the police station.
As she walked and thought, she could now conclude that Li Dafu was using counterfeit money and was definitely trying to get something for nothing. Now her only competitor was playing dirty tricks. After she dealt with this matter, the store would be hers without a doubt.
Tian Xiaolan walked slowly to the door of the police station. Before she stepped in, she heard Luo Guoqing's loud and angry speech.
She stopped and stood quietly outside listening.
Luo Guoqing cursed loudly, "It's such a small place, and you can't even find a single person. You've lived here for so many years, how could you not recognize him? Even if you have to dig up the dirt, you must find him!"
Someone responded quietly: "I haven't even seen that person. I'm relying entirely on their descriptions. How would I know who used the counterfeit money? Don't we all have two eyes and one mouth?"
Luo Guoqing got even angrier when he heard this and yelled, "If you can't do it, just leave. You can't find anyone here. You're here to have fun!"
Tian Xiaolan was listening carefully outside. She keenly caught the word "fake money" in their conversation. With a thought in her mind, she went in without hesitation to interrupt them and asked hurriedly, "Where did you find the fake money?"
The man replied, "It's a state-owned grocery store." Luo Guoqing then asked, "Did you also encounter counterfeit money?"
Tian Xiaolan told him: "I also encountered them today, and there are more than 20 of them. I wanted to tell you as soon as possible."
At this moment in the police station, after she said this, Luo Guoqing frowned, wondering where this sudden flood of counterfeit money came from.
Those who were being reprimanded lowered their heads, feeling somewhat ashamed, and wondering if there was any information they had missed.
"Where did you see it?"
Tian Xiaolan then recounted her experience with counterfeit money in detail: "I was planning to buy a shop, and my competitor, Li Dafu, brought a bag of money today. Only the top and bottom bills were real; the rest were fake. To the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with it. Only by touching it could you tell it was fake."
Luo Guoqing listened to her words, which were very clear, and had an idea in his mind. Now the biggest suspect was undoubtedly Li Dafu.
He thought to himself, Li Dafu had gone out very early and there was no news of him coming back. Why did he come back suddenly, and with so much counterfeit money? It was obvious that he had no good intentions.
"Do you know where he lives?"
Tian Xiaolan shook her head and offered her own idea: "I've already asked Wei Wenjie to follow him. Director Shi hasn't taken his money yet, nor has he given him the land deed. He asked Director Shi to talk after get off work. We can go and follow him. Maybe we can find some accomplices."
"He's alone? What a courageous boy!" Luo Guoqing asked doubtfully before affirming, "Your idea is great. This way we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Yeah, too many people would draw attention."
Luo Guoqing made some arrangements according to her suggestions.
