"Do you know Liu Geng?" Gu Chen was also quite surprised, feeling that Zhuang Xiaohai seemed to know more about him than he did.
"Can I not know him?" Zhuang Xiaohai also laughed, feeling that no one was more familiar with him: "Speaking of Liu Geng, when I was studying at West Street Primary School, he was doing business here.
He is still doing business here after graduating from the excavator, and he is a very stubborn person."
"Then you are old acquaintances?" Lu Weiwei was also very interested. Looking at the vicissitudes of life on Zhuang Xiaohai's face, he must be a person with a lot of stories.
"Why are you mentioning him about elementary school matters?" Zhuang Xiaohai said here, and took out a second cigarette: "But one thing is that Liu Geng is famous for being stubborn. He always thinks that his own opinions are right.
Yes, even if he discovers a mistake, he will not admit that it was his mistake. He is a person with a strong self-esteem."
"And he has a bad temper and likes to blame others." Lu Weiwei also helped Zhuang Xiaohai and continued to add.
After all, it feels so good to meet someone who tells the truth and has like-minded opinions.
Lu Weiwei had been on duty here when she first joined the police force.
At that time, I was also dealing with a small case on the street, and Liu Geng said in public that I was unprofessional and inefficient.
At that time, Lu Weiwei had just been working for a month, and when someone pointed at her nose and said no, she almost shed tears of grievance.
So when it comes to Liu Geng, Lu Weiwei actually still has a say.
"Isn't it?" Zhuang Xiaohai blew out a smoke ring and turned around and said: "People like him are the most annoying. Really, for example, when I was in junior high school, I bought a new pair of shoes and passed by his shop.
When Liu Geng saw it, he said: Oh, these are your new shoes. I am, um, new shoes. He asked me how much they cost, and I said one thousand yuan. At that time, he beeped and said that they were too expensive. You are so young.
What do people think? I don’t know why you spend so much money, it’s too extravagant or something.”
Gu Chen was also shocked and said: "Zhuang Xiaohai, you wear shoes worth more than a thousand yuan when you are in junior high school?"
Zhuang Xiao also laughed and said: "This is not bragging. In fact, it is only more than 500 yuan, but I don't like Liu Geng's paternalistic attitude. You said he is not my father. I will buy a pair."
New shoes, he kept beeping there for a long time, and even gave me a lecture, which was more nagging than my father."
"Haha, this doesn't mean anything, right?" Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that this Liu Geng was a bit interesting.
"Isn't this nothing?" Zhuang Xiaohai was also stunned, and continued: "Later, I bought some nice clothes, but he bumped into me again, and he asked me again, oh, how much did I buy new clothes? I said five
One hundred dollars, he said, oh, it’s too expensive, what do you young people think? He gave me another beep, I was so damned."
"Is Liu Geng really so nagging?" This was also the first time Gu Chen had heard of this person.
After all, the information I got from Officer Wang is that he is difficult to get along with, has opinions about the police, and likes to speak ill of the police. Gu Chen really doesn't know the other things.
Zhuang Xiaohai waved his hand and continued: "Ever since he said something about me buying new clothes, I was thinking... I would have to take a detour when I see him in the future, but two days later I heard that this Liu Geng was cheated because he participated in some online finance.
I was very happy when I saw him, and said, "Hey, uncle, you were defrauded of more than 200,000 yuan? I don't know what you middle-aged and elderly people think?"
"Wha...what? He was defrauded of more than 200,000 yuan?" Lu Weiwei was also shocked and said: "Then he is quite rich, but why do the authorities say he is a poor household?"
"This is not easy. All the family's savings have been defrauded." Zhuang Xiaohai smoked a cigarette and helped Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei review Liu Geng's life.
Suddenly he remembered something and said again: "By the way, you are here to find him. Isn't it because he was defrauded of money again?"
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looking at each other, Zhuang Xiaohai slapped his thigh: "Hey, you said this Liu Geng is serious. He has been deceived so many times, why doesn't he have a long memory?"
"It's not easy to run a small store with hard work. Over the years, I have defrauded myself of all my capital. Why do you think someone like him has the mentality of getting rich overnight? Make money in a down-to-earth manner.
Isn’t it great?”
"Is that why he has a problem with our police?" Gu Chen asked.
"Isn't that right?" Zhuang Xiaohai said helplessly: "Every time after being cheated, I go to the police. The money recovered may be very little. I heard that at the beginning of last year, someone borrowed money to do business, but later the person was killed.
I disappeared with the money, and I couldn’t get back the principal, not to mention the interest. I ended up going to the police station again and scolding the police for their incompetence in handling the case.”
After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhuang Xiaohai said again: "But then again, what do you think this has to do with the police? The police have to handle the case step by step. After all, the police station is not opened by him alone."
"Conscience." Lu Weiwei was also very excited. She held Zhuang Xiaohai's hand and said: "Finally, someone has a conscience. Our policeman's reputation on Xiaoxiao Road has been almost ruined by him. Fortunately, he still has a conscience."
Someone who understands."
"Haha." Zhuang Xiaohai also blushed and said with a smile: "I haven't talked to a beautiful woman in so many years. To be honest, I really don't want to work in the excavator industry. I want to work in a factory.
, even if you don’t pay me a salary, I want to see what the girl looks like. I’ve been in this business for a long time, and even looking at a dog, I feel that it looks pretty and pretty.”
"Brother, is it such an exaggeration?" Gu Chen was also quite surprised.
"Isn't it?" Zhuang Xiaohai threw the second cigarette on the ground and said: "Every day I am either on a construction site in the city or digging ditches and filling roads in the mountains. I want to enter the factory, and all the aunts in the factory are mine.
Mother-in-law."
Looking at Gu Chen, Zhuang Xiaohai said again: "You are not like you Gu Chen. If I were as handsome as you, could still work in the city, and be colleagues with beautiful police officers, I would also go to the police academy to get it, no?
As long as I serve the people, I can do it."
"That guy who drives the excavator, why are you still hanging around?"
At this moment, in West Street Primary School, a man wearing a white safety helmet shouted to Zhuang Xiaohai.
"Okay, I'll be right over." Zhuang Xiaohai smiled bitterly and said to Gu Chen: "Every time I see these fresh graduates comparing their salaries with each other, I want to laugh. In a few years, they will understand that material things
My level mainly depends on the virtues accumulated by my ancestors. I have to go to work first. I’ll add a WeChat account and keep in touch in the future.”
"Okay." Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and added Zhuang Xiaohai as friends. Zhuang Xiaohai put on a blue helmet and ran towards his excavator.
"This classmate of yours is really interesting." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh a few times and said: "I really envy him that he can drive an excavator to demolish his alma mater. I think this should be the pinnacle of his life, right?"
Gu Chen chuckled twice: "Maybe."
Not long after, the man from Meimei Supermarket trotted up to Gu Chen:
"Comrade police, our boss is moving goods to another new store. He may not be able to get through for a while. Can you help him send it there? I can give you the address."
The man then handed Gu Chen a small piece of paper with the address of a store written on it.
"No problem, we can send it there." Gu Chen said.
The man nodded: "Thank you, comrade policeman. The boss has been a bit arrogant recently and may have a bad temper, but he is still a good person."
"I know." Gu Chen said.
Perhaps the man in the store heard the exchange he had with Zhuang Xiaohai just now, so he was protecting his image as a boss.
Twenty minutes later...
Gu Chen rode a police motorcycle and came to the backstreet of a business district.
A newly renovated store attracted Gu Chen's special attention.
The signboard is Meimei Supermarket. There is a tricycle parked at the door. The shelves in the store seem to have just arrived, and there are two people moving goods at the moment.
Because his family also owns a supermarket, Gu Chen is still very familiar with these operations. It seems that the new store has been opened not long ago.
Lu Weiwei straightened her chest and raised her head, like a leader inspecting her work, and carefully scanned the various snacks in the store.
When I met Liu Geng before, Lu Weiwei was not so strong.
After all, the first time she was wronged at work was by this guy named Liu Geng, Lu Weiwei was still a little unhappy.
When I come here to give money this time, I can put on a confident posture. I don't have to be criticized by Liu Geng anymore. Maybe this guy can be more polite.
The supermarket area is larger than the store next to West Street Primary School, about 40 square meters.
Compared with ordinary supermarkets, Liu Geng's supermarket does not look eye-catching and does not have many products.
Dairy products are almost at the end of their shelf life, while peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks and mineral water are basically out of stock.
Moreover, this is a back street and does not have a fixed crowd like West Street Primary School.
Consumers also have a lot of choice. There is a large comprehensive shopping supermarket 300 meters away, which is obviously not competitive.
For a small shop like this to open here, it might be a problem to maintain capital aside from the turnover.
The only thing that made Gu Chen feel bright were some beautifully packaged student books.
There is a small counter with the latest and hottest publications.
Gu Chen knew that there was a branch campus of a foreign language school here recently. After class every day, a large number of students would pass by the door.
Gu Chen thought that after all, Liu Geng had been in the supermarket business for many years, so he probably wouldn't do a loss-making business.
"Two police officers, are you looking for me?" A middle-aged man wearing a vest and sweating profusely came out wiping his sweat.
"Are you Liu Geng?" Gu Chen asked.
"That's right." Liu Geng nodded, his expression slightly indifferent.
Gu Chen had compared Liu Geng's recent photos beforehand, but he didn't expect that Liu Geng's hair was already gray now.
"The case you reported at the beginning of last year, the person involved has been detained." Gu Chen suddenly spoke up and asked Liu Geng: "Let me ask you, how much is the amount you are owed?"
"Oh..." Liu Geng, who was so tired that his eyes were flashing with stars, was startled. He hesitated for two seconds and then said: "I reported the case at the beginning of last year. The other party owes me the principal plus interest, a total of 60,000 yuan."
"What about the principal?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"The principal is fifty thousand." Liu Geng said.
"Well, not bad." Lu Weiwei turned around and asked Gu Chen next to her: "Junior brother Gu, is this true?"
"Yes, the principal of fifty thousand is correct." Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei instantly threw her handbag on the counter, took out a black bag from inside, and asked: "Did you bring your ID card?"
"Yes." Liu Geng touched his pocket, suddenly stunned, and said casually: "Wait a moment, I'll get it."
Afterwards, Liu Geng ran to the tricycle at the door, opened the box under the seat with the key, put a shoulder bag on his back, and quickly ran to the two of them: "Here."
"The approval is correct." Lu Weiwei nodded, handed the black bag to Liu Geng, and then handed him a document: "If there is no problem, just sign here and your case will be closed."
At this moment, Liu Geng stared at Lu Weiwei for a while, then opened the black bag and carefully checked the five stacks of cash. His expression changed at that time: "Isn't it 60,000? Why did it become 50,000?
?”
"Nonsense, I already said that I would get my principal back." Lu Weiwei said honestly.
"Ah?" Liu Geng was stunned for a moment and immediately returned the money.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.
"If you don't give me 60,000 yuan, I can't sign this." Liu Geng crossed his arms and looked uncooperative: "After all, that guy owed me a total of 60,000 yuan with interest, but now you only give me 50,000 yuan."
Ten thousand, I still owe ten thousand, no, I won't sign unless you give me sixty thousand."
"Hey!" Lu Weiwei didn't have a good impression of Liu Geng at first. After making such a fuss, she despised him even more: "It would be good if we can recover the principal. Our Furong Police Station still considers your family's difficulties and gives priority to this person.
The money is given to you first, but you still have to include the interest?"
"Isn't it? You should have helped me recover the principal and interest. This is what I deserve and it is also your obligation. Now you just want to deceive me with 50,000 yuan, no way."
Liu Geng also refuses to give in. He will not give up until he gets 60,000 yuan. He is even more terrifying than Lu Weiwei when he is fierce.
During the process of handling a case, the victim's funds are often squandered by fraudsters or scammers.
Being able to recover part of the funds and reduce losses is the best that the police can do.
Sometimes just to handle an electronic fraud case worth 10 million, the police's handling costs may be as high as 20 million, but the stolen money recovered is often only a few million.
But even so, the police must take resolute action to combat this illegal crime.
Therefore, when the case is solved, the police will usually return the stolen money to the victim in an even proportion. It is rare that the principal amount can be fully obtained.
In a situation like Liu Geng's, it is not easy to recover the original principal, but I didn't expect that Liu Geng would refuse to sign.
Gu Chen raised his head, stared at Liu Geng and said, "Mr. Liu Geng, this money is a priority return from the institute. Many people may not get a penny back. You have to think carefully."
"What's there to think about? If you police don't give me 60,000 yuan, I won't sign." Liu Geng became more and more angry as he thought about it, and smoked a pipe: "I was defrauded of 60,000 yuan with interest, so you just
Giving me fifty thousand is too bullying."
"Hey!" Lu Weiwei was also furious. She turned around and glared at Liu Geng and said, "How can you talk?"
"Just talk like that." Liu Geng also tilted his head, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
The other man in charge of moving the goods quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
But Gu Chen still put away the cash on the table and handed it to Liu Geng.
"Mr. Liu, the amount of refund money is limited. The institute has specially taken care of you and distributed it first. If you don't accept it, we can collect the money first and distribute it to other victims."
"As for the 60,000 yuan with interest you mentioned, I'm sorry, we are not a bank. We are only responsible for recovering the debt. As for how much we can recover, we will issue it first. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. We will wait until the suspect collects it.
I’ll give you all the money I owe.”
"But I can't guarantee how long it will take. It may be one year, maybe two years, maybe three to five years. I can't guarantee any of this."
Seeing that Liu Geng was having difficulty cooperating, Lu Weiwei turned her head and looked at Gu Chen, only to see that Gu Chen looked calm and composed at this moment.
I thought to myself that the way Junior Brother Gu acts so fiercely, he turns out to be even more powerful than me.
As a people's policeman, Lu Weiwei naturally knows that victims should stop their losses promptly after being deceived.
But the Liu Geng in front of him had been deceived time and time again, and he actually believed that the principal recovered by the police would also include the interest promised by the scammer or the scammer.
Sure enough, the more you live, the more confused you become. Do you really think that the police station is a bank?
I will help you recover the debt for free and still have to pay interest. This makes people laugh.
"I won't tell you. Come to your leader and I will tell him face to face." Liu Geng was very angry and continued: "What kind of police are you? You are so irresponsible."
"It's okay. Our police officers' minds have been stretched by injustice and grievance anyway. If you have anything to say to me, you don't need to ask the leader. I am representing our leader and I have made a special trip to return the principal to you."
Gu Chen had only heard that Liu Geng had feelings for the police before, but he didn't expect that this guy had any feelings at all. He was clearly acting like a rogue.
As a trainee police officer who is about to be promoted to third-level superintendent, Gu Chen has undergone systematic training and is familiar with the basic operations of the police station.
People like Liu Geng still need to communicate patiently, otherwise Officer Wang will not send himself out.
Liu Geng stared at Gu Chen's epaulettes and snorted twice at that time: "You are a small trainee police officer, what are you capable of? You also represent the leader, why don't you say you represent the entire Jiangnan City Police Force? You haven't grown up yet.
Just utter arrogance right here."
He looked at Lu Weiwei again and said with a smile: "Your position is not high, right? You have only been working for a few years, so what kind of awesome are you? The police should serve the people, what's wrong with me saying a few words to you? You still don't think so?"
Do you want to beat me up? Let me tell you, even your director has been scolded by me, so what?"
"Old Liu, please stop saying a few words." The man unloading the goods on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The police worked hard to help you recover the principal, and you still have to pay interest. It's too much.
"
"That's right, the police are already interesting enough."
"Aren't you satisfied with the principal? You can be deceived, but you can't get it back on your own?"
"Some people just like to vent their dissatisfaction to the police without looking in the mirror first. Whose fault is this?"
"That's right. I heard that you, Mr. Liu, have been defrauded three or four times. How come you are defrauded of money every time? You should reflect on it, right?"
At this time, several pedestrians passing by also came over and could no longer stand watching the excitement.
It feels like this guy... really treats the police station as a bank?
