Chapter 438: Death for Money



"New Year's Day is coming soon, don't say it's unlucky. Didn't you win the prize?" the driver joked.

"I was lucky today and won the prize."

The man's mood suddenly improved, and his depression was swept away. He worked hard for a year and only earned five or six thousand yuan. To earn one hundred thousand yuan, he would have to work for twenty years without eating or drinking. His wife would definitely be very happy if she knew about this.

"Won the lottery? Brother, you didn't win the special prize, did you?"

The driver glanced at the plastic bag in the mirror and saw that it was solid. He couldn't help but get excited. Then he looked at the man's smug expression and realized he knew what was going on.

"Congratulations, bro. Do you want a car or some cash?"

"I want the money for the car, which I don't need." The man was caught off guard and pointed at the plastic bag.

The driver frowned slightly. This guy was too careless. He should not show off his wealth. How could he just tell others about it? "Brother, don't blame me for being nosy. You should be careful with so much money. The world is not so peaceful."

"I think it's pretty peaceful. I rent a house in the city and rarely lock the door, so I don't leave anything behind. I'm too lazy to deposit money in the bank because I'm going to buy a house in a few days, and it's too troublesome to deposit and withdraw money."

The man still looked nonchalant and added: "Just now a few pretty girls came and told me that I had a bloody disaster and asked me to deposit money in the bank. Maybe they are bank employees trying to attract business during the year-end."

"No wonder you kept saying it was bad luck when you got on the bus. So this is what happened."

The driver understood, and he couldn't help but persuade her: "No matter if she is a bank employee or not, the girl is kind-hearted. One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. Birds die for food, and people die for money. The old saying is not a joke. Didn't my brother who drove a taxi with me a few days ago have an accident? He had a heavy family burden and often worked night shifts. As a result, he ran into a bad guy and lost both his car and his life."

"I haven't heard anyone tell me when it happened." The man was horrified.

"Just two or three days ago, the New Year was coming, and all kinds of evil spirits appeared. My colleague's two children are still in school, and his wife is in poor health. The family depends on him. Alas!"

The driver sighed. They, the taxi drivers, donated some money. Although it was not much, it was a token of their good intentions.

The mother and her two children will have a hard time in the future! The man's expression became heavy. He worked hard from morning till night and rarely chatted with others. Today was also the first time he took a taxi, otherwise he would not have known that such a tragic thing happened around him.

"Has the murderer been caught?" the man asked.

The driver sneered, "What a waste of time. After a while of investigation, the case is left unsolved and becomes an unsolved case."

He couldn't help but complain about the local police's ability to handle cases. "Cases like this that have no beginning or end basically have no results. A few years ago, there was a female driver who was victimized at night. It was tragic. Since then, female drivers have stopped working night shifts. The case has not been solved yet. God knows who did it."

"Brother, you still have to be careful. Depositing and withdrawing money is a bit troublesome, but for the sake of safety, it's troublesome. If I had 100,000 yuan, I would deposit it in the bank even if it was on the top of Mount Tai."

The driver made a joke, and the man looked thoughtful. After a while, he asked the driver to stop in front of the bank.

"That's right, brother, don't think I'm too nosy. Don't tell people you won 100,000 yuan. I just have a good conscience. If someone else saw 100,000 yuan, how could he not have bad intentions? If I drag you to a deserted place, you will be helpless. Brother, don't be afraid. I'm just making an example. I'm a good person and I won't do anything against my conscience."

"I know you're a good person. Here's the fare."

The man took out a hundred yuan note, handed it to the driver, and got off the car with the bag.

The driver was right, he had to be careful in everything and he had to save money.

As for those pretty girls, his attitude before was so bad and he shouldn't have been so mean to them.

Jiang Hanyan and others were still at the lottery scene. They were asking the staff about the man's home address, which they would register when they received the prize.

"Why do you want someone's address? We want to keep it confidential."

The staff flatly refused.

"He lost 10,000 yuan and couldn't find him."

Jiang Hanyan took out a stack of money as proof.

The staff member did not suspect anything and asked his leader, who told him the address and that the man did not live in the city but in a nearby rural area, and also had a phone number.

After thanking the staff, Jiang Hanyan and the others came out. There were many orange-yellow public telephone booths on the street. One could buy an IC card and make a call.

She dialed the man's home phone number and a woman answered the phone. Jiang Hanyan gave the man's name.

"He doesn't live in the village. He works in the city. His parents live in the village," said the woman.

"Can you ask his parents to answer the phone? It's something important."

"Wait a minute, I'll go call someone."

The woman put the phone on the table, walked to the door, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Uncle San, your phone call is from Jianping. It's urgent!"

“Here it comes!”

An old lady's voice could be heard in the distance, coming from a faraway place. After a while, the sound of footsteps and conversation could be heard.

"It was a girl who beat him, Aunt San. What did the girl want from Jianping?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"How would I know?"

The old lady was also confused and walked faster. She finally answered the phone, "Hello, this is Jianping's mother. What do you want to talk to my Jianping about?"

"Hello, I have something very important to tell you. Something bad will happen to your Zhou Jianping within three days, so you guys better be careful." Jiang Hanyan was afraid of scaring the old lady, so she didn't dare to mention the bloody disaster.

"Jianping got into trouble? Did he learn bad things outside? Who are you?"

The old lady was almost frightened to death and kept asking questions one after another.

"Don't panic. Zhou Jianping will be home soon. Tell him that he is the one who persuaded him to deposit money in the bank during the lottery. Then he will know who I am. Also, have Zhou Jianping make this call afterwards to pay me a thank-you fee."

Jiang Hanyan left Bi Shengnan's home phone number, she couldn't do the work in vain.

The old lady hung up the phone in a daze. The phone number was recorded by her niece-in-law, the woman who answered the phone before.

"Aunt San, what happened to Jianping?"

"That girl said Jianping would get into trouble within three days and asked our family to be careful. She also said that she would be given a thank-you fee after the incident. I couldn't react. What do you think is going on?"

The old lady's mind is confused. Her son works in the city. He is an honest man. He doesn't smoke, drink or play cards. What could happen?

"Could it be that Jianping is having an affair outside?" the woman thought of a possibility.

"He wants to do it. Does he have the money?"

The old lady rolled her eyes in annoyance and went home full of doubts. She had to discuss it with her old man and then call her son to ask him in the evening.

Jiang Hanyan and the others strolled around for a while, their stomachs were full, and they brought back a lot of delicious food. Bi Shengnan and her parents had just returned, and Bi's father still had to go cook.

“Uncle, we ate outside and brought you some food.”

Tian Xinxin took out a big bag of delicious food with a smile, which was still hot. Father Bi couldn't help nagging: "You kids just don't pay attention. The roadside stalls are very dirty, full of gutter oil, and the meat is not fresh. Eat at home in the future..."
