MTL - Blackstone Code-Chapter 10 1 tip a day
After simply tidying up the room, Lynch had visitors. His house is an old four-story building facing the street. The first and second floors are a small bar, and the third and fourth floors are ordinary residents.
Many hotels or pubs will have short-term rental rooms on the second floor, for three or five days, or a week, and accept one-day temporary rental at the shortest, which is more like a hotel or hotel.
This pattern was first discovered from drunk people. The owner of the tavern would give them a bed and then charge them an extra money. Soon most taverns started to do this. No one complained about paying for the drunk. .
Alcohol is a very special thing. It can make some people unconsciously thrown into a "high-end" room to sleep over and pay a little more for a night. It can also make it simple and straightforward for some people. So every bar and pub , All need some rooms.
It is also destined that Lynch’s current place of residence will not be too remote, an unpopulated suburb, where people come and go, whether it is day or night, there will be a lot of pedestrians passing by.
The police said that no witnesses were found. They may be veterans of habitual offenders. In fact, it is impossible to have witnesses. Whether it is other residents living on the second floor, the bartender behind the bar on the first floor or the few sparse guests, it is impossible to know nothing. .
But they won’t say that, first of all, Lynch has no direct interest with them, and secondly, there is no need to be targeted by the Federal Revenue Service because of a person who doesn’t know and is not related. Everyone has chosen to remain silent.
But this happened to make the police misunderstand certain things, and later had room for manipulation.
He just cleaned up the messy room, when someone came to the door, it was a few kids selling newspapers.
The leather bags they slung were bulging. Everyone seemed to be struggling, and their faces flushed, partly because of the heavy leather bag, and partly because of excitement.
The masthead promised a few of them. As long as the money is delivered and some details in the room are remembered, they will be able to get an extra reward this month. Each person is not less than fifty yuan.
This money is very important to children of their age. They will start living independently in two or three years. They must save some savings to face the society before this. The opportunity is hard-won, although it is only fifty yuan.
Before Lin Qi closed the door, he glanced at the door. The tavern he was in was on the edge of the main road. There was a corridor outside the door, and the road outside the corridor was guardrails. Standing here, you can see the big outside at a glance. Most things.
There is nothing unusual, but his heart is already active. With his years of experience in fighting against..., these children are suspicious.
It is true that these newsboys have been trading with him these days, but the headlines will also come, but they don’t enter the room and basically stand on the corridor outside.
They gave these children a large amount of change, and naturally they had to stare at them to prevent them from running away. While protecting their property, they could also deter these children, but today there is no header outside the corridor.
What does this mean?
Any abnormal phenomenon means that there is a deeper problem. There are two possibilities for the absence of the header:
The first possibility is that he does not want to have any direct relationship with himself here.
The second possibility is that he knew it was dangerous here, so even if he cared about the change and didn't show up at the scene, he had a way to ensure that his money would not go wrong.
This is a conclusion that can be drawn without thinking, otherwise he would not let these newsboys come with a large amount of change to exchange the whole money.
Adding to the things Lynch had encountered before, he already knew with a high probability what was going to happen next.
Not only is he not afraid, but there is a hint of excitement in his heart, a hint of eagerness to try!
"How much money is there?", he took a small wooden box from one side, put it on the cart, and asked the newsboys to pour the money in.
Several children leaned over and said, "A total of five thousand yuan, sir."
"Five thousand yuan?" Lynch laughed, his eyes looked at the cowhide bags of several newsboys, "This is really an unexpected number, I thought it would be less."
The money is too much, enough to convict him directly, which is more certain of his thinking. If someone is setting up a game, he is the one in the game.
If someone from the tax bureau or the investigation bureau rushes in, and he cannot explain the origin of the money and why they are in his room, he may face serious charges.
When the time comes, as long as the other party proposes a "deal", he will definitely not be able to escape the palm of those people's hands, and he can only do what they ask, unless he wants to sit in the prison.
He nodded non-committal. After the wooden box was filled with five thousand yuan coins, he pushed the car into the interior and said hello, "I'll go to the toilet. You guys wait for me for a while."
Five thousand coins are very heavy, five cent coins are the lightest, 3.7 grams, fifty cent coins are the heaviest, there are 6.1 grams, plus ten and twenty-five cents, the average is calculated The weight of each coin is more than four grams on average.
Five thousand yuan, one hundred...30 pounds, each newsboy’s bag puts more than 20 pounds of coins. No wonder their faces are redder than usual. Just going to the second floor can make them feel obvious. Strenuous.
After entering the inner room, Lynch did not rush out. He dragged the suitcase full of money into the bathroom, and found a pair of sturdy pants from the clothes that had just been washed in the cart.
Tighten the trouser legs on both sides, hold a lot of coins and stuff them into the trouser legs, and when the box is lighter, hold it and pour it in.
Two trouser tubes were filled with coins. He tied his waist with a belt, pushed the two trouser legs apart into a stick-like shape, and stuffed them along the leak of the crude toilet in the bathroom.
When this kind of old building was built by people, there were no humanized elbow designs.
Not to mention elbow pipes, even parallel pipes will cause the feces upstairs to flow back directly, so its drainage design is a straight main pipe, and then each floor has a downwardly inclined pipe directly connected to the main pipe. There is a one-way plate where the main pipe connects to the septic tank.
The advantage of this design is that there will be no backflow phenomenon. Residents living on the ground floor do not need to watch the toilet spraying manure out of the toilet. The disadvantage is that sometimes the home will have a strange smell. If an exhaust fan is installed, there is no need to worry. These.
He hangs a soap box on the belt head, a simple wooden box, which can ensure that the belt head will float on the dung water, and when it is taken out at night, it will not jump into the cesspool. Look for it little by little.
He breathed a sigh of relief after a faint sinking sound and the sound of the wooden board rebounding against the pipe.
Not long after, Lynch returned to the room with a few stacks of banknotes. Now these newsboys are already waiting a little impatiently.
Their attention is completely concentrated in Lynch's hands, on the thick pile of banknotes!
He sat on the edge of the bed, took a few newspapers in his hand, unfolded the bills **** with rubber bands, and handed them to different children, "You count them first, and then I will count them again."
This is his rule, and people are willing to do the same. This way of counting both parties has established an important channel of trust for Lynch and these traders.
The children were unhappy. When the first child finished counting the stack of ten-dollar bills in his hand, he passed the money to Lynch while he said the number he had counted.
Lynch counted one side in front of him, then put it directly into the newspaper, wrapped it in a newspaper, then took out a rubber band from his pocket, tied the newspaper and gave it to the kid. This is what he has been doing all the time. of.
To use his original statement, that is, the most inconspicuous things in the leather bags of the newsboys are things related to the newspaper, which can prevent them from being targeted by some people.
This statement has also been recognized by the newsboys. From then on, as long as the money exceeds fifty yuan, Lynch will hand it to them in a newspaper bag. It has become a habit they have adapted to now~www.novelbuddy.com ~ After counting the sums of money, it was wrapped in newspaper and tied with rubber bands. Lynch immediately returned to the inner room after sending the children away, and took out a lot of banknotes from several pockets of his body.
He played a little trick, deducting a lot of money that was supposed to be given to the children.
This is actually a very simple trick. When counting money, use the ring finger to pick up a part of the banknotes and bypass the middle finger, and then at the moment when the money is counted, the **** retracts and the palm of the hand is held down, and that part of the money is Will be kept in the palm of your hand.
At this time, the children who had counted the money focused their attention on the wad of money that Lynch had placed in the newspaper, so that Lynch could easily put the hand that held part of the money back into his pocket. Need to take a rubber band.
Then the money counted by the newsboy and Lynch at the same time will be wrapped in newspapers and tied with rubber bands under the gaze of the two. The whole process from Lynch’s hands until the money is out of people’s sight, probably In less than two seconds.
Plus these kids are relatively young, and Lynch is older. They don't dare to offend Lynch's majesty and will not propose the idea of counting again. Lynch smoothly took the money back.
If they had the courage to resist, they would not be just a newsboy now.
About two to three thousand yuan, he didn't count, since the other party wanted to frame him with this method, then he can't be blamed for finding some compensation first.
Not long after he had done everything and hid the money, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open...
