The man in the baseball cap also had a prepared excuse, which he repeated more than once: "If you transfer the money directly to my WeChat account, there will be a withdrawal fee. I only earn one or two yuan for each bucket of water I deliver. If the total amount is too much, it's like giving away several buckets for free."
Okay! That's certainly a very strong reason.
But Wang Dazhuang really didn't have any change.
"Fifteen yuan, right?"
At this moment, Li Lechen stepped forward and took out a twenty-yuan note from his pocket.
Following the twenty-yuan note, the man in the baseball cap's gaze shifted to Li Lechen's face, then he was startled, thinking to himself: "What I've been searching for has come to me without any effort!" Oh no! It should be, "Persistence pays off, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded..."
Hmm! That doesn't seem right either!
In short, the boy in front of me who pulled out twenty yuan was tall and thin, fair-skinned, and most importantly, he wore a pair of extremely tacky black-rimmed glasses that were a rare sight for miles around.
I've seen the glasses, and I've met the right person!
The man in the baseball cap was excited inside, but he tried to remain calm on the surface. He took the twenty yuan from Li Lechen and put it in his pocket, then took out a five-yuan note to give as change.
It's just a transaction: those who pay pay, those who receive pay receive change, change is given, and once everything's done, they put their pants on and leave. Oh, no, I mean, they dust themselves off and leave.
So Li Lechen, Wang Dazhuang, and his dog continued walking towards the copy shop outside the district, while the man in the baseball cap pulled his cap down even lower, already making plans in his mind.
Based on the clues we have so far, it is still impossible to determine how this tall, thin, ****** guy got those diamonds.
Of course, even they themselves didn't know how the bag of diamonds worth fifty million had suddenly disappeared. Perhaps it had simply fallen into a ditch and landed on the main road, where it was eventually picked up by a student who had been keeping the money.
However, putting aside the previous questions, the subsequent conjectures make perfect sense: anyone who found such a large bag of diamonds would be overjoyed and incredulous. After all, winning five million in the lottery requires an ancestral grave to emit auspicious smoke, and this kind of thing definitely requires the graves of the previous eighteen generations to collectively conspire to emit smoke together.
Because they were "loose" diamonds, they varied greatly in size and the facets were not very regular. So, the tall, thin student wearing black-rimmed glasses picked out five of the different sizes and prepared to have them appraised at a jewelry store or similar place.
As a result, by a twist of fate, he encountered Ah Cai, who was originally a kidnapper but later became a pickpocket, and the banknotes and these few "naked" diamonds in his pocket were lost.
That's right. If these diamonds belonged to the boy, losing them would be an insurmountable blow. Just those five diamonds alone are worth hundreds of thousands.
Who would leisurely walk their dog here after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of belongings?
That's right!
That's him!
With those black-rimmed glasses, nobody else can compare!
The key point is that I just went to this guy's house!
The man in the baseball cap couldn't hide his excitement at the thought.
He retrieved the diamond, made the greatest contribution, was promoted to the top leader, and had a group of followers under his command. He became a powerful figure in Lingcheng and even the whole country, truly becoming a person who struck fear into the hearts of both the underworld and the legitimate world.
Suddenly inspired, I composed a poem:
Others laugh at my inaction, I laugh at their blindness. Look at the tombs of martial arts heroes, they were all born scoundrels!
What a beautiful poem!
It just feels strangely familiar, but I absolutely do not admit to plagiarism.
Great goals begin with small steps. So the man in the baseball cap had to act immediately and, while the mysterious dog was out, quickly make a copy.
That's right. Logically speaking, such a valuable item wouldn't be carried around with you. The most likely place is at home.
I just went to deliver water, and there were only the two students and a dog at home. I also heard a phone call asking them to come for lunch, which further confirms that there will be no one at this house before noon.
However, the man in the baseball cap was not the kind of low-IQ thug; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the organization, nor would he have such lofty ideals. So, before taking action, he reported the overall situation to the organization.
In fact, the man in the baseball cap was never fighting alone. Upon receiving the report, the organization immediately dispatched reinforcements. One group assisted him in searching the house, while another was responsible for stalling Li Lechen and Wang Dazhuang, preventing them from returning home early. There were even people specifically tasked with luring—no, attracting—the dogs to prevent them from attacking indiscriminately.
Of course, Wang Dazhuang and Li Lechen, who were excitedly heading to the copy shop, had no idea that anything was amiss. After all, who would have thought that a water deliveryman would cause such a commotion?
The key point is that the district has always had a good public security record, mainly because Zhang played a leading and exemplary role, and most of the security guards were very dedicated.
...
The photocopy shop is located at the back gate of the district, and it's the only one for several kilometers around. Although it's not near a university and its prices are ridiculously high, it still does decent business.
After all, while every household has a computer, not every household has a printer, let alone a photocopier; it's not like we're dealing with government agencies or public institutions.
However, this is seasonal. For example, there is a garbage sorting knowledge competition in the community today, with very generous prizes, so residents from several surrounding districts come to photocopy the materials.
According to the copy shop owner's conservative estimate, just copying various ID cards, driver's licenses, household registration books, and competition question banks is enough to keep a copy machine running non-stop.
Yesterday, the boss made three yuan worth of business in one day.
"Boss! I'm here!"
As soon as Wang Dazhuang entered, he greeted the owner warmly, as if he were a long-lost friend.
That's right, he's the guy who made three yuan off the boss yesterday. The boss even chatted with him for a long time about it, and the two almost ended up having a good drink together.
But things are different now. The boss didn't even look up, and asked directly, "Copy or type?"
In fact, he didn't have time to look up. The clerk was busy, and he was busy too. After all, it cost two yuan to photocopy an ID card, and he still had four or five to photocopy.
While I was asking the question, two more coins fell into the bowl.
Wang Dazhuang, seemingly unwilling to give up, approached the boss, pointed to himself, and said, "Boss! It's me! I'm here to make copies."
How many copies?
The tone remained indifferent as the boss spoke, extending his hand to indicate that he needed to bring the documents to be copied.
That's it, we're completely done for.
Wang Dazhuang had to explain again: "I want to shrink these test papers down to the smallest size possible, ideally the size of my palm, and then bind them together."
Upon hearing this, the boss raised his eyelids to look at Wang Dazhuang, then turned his head to look at Li Lechen, and suddenly raised his voice an octave higher, saying, "Are you guys trying to cheat?!"
"......"
"......"
Wang Dazhuang and Li Lechen were caught off guard. After all, although the word "cheating" had always been in their hearts, they had never said it out loud. Now that they had been exposed, they were indeed extremely embarrassed.
The key point is that there were quite a few people in the copy shop. When they heard what the owner said, they all looked over. Although they didn't say anything, who knows if they were cursing in their hearts? They might even use it as a negative example to educate their own children when they get home.
That would be even more awkward.
