In addition to waiting for news from the police, Mr. Li also specifically gave instructions to his seven men.
Under no circumstances should you spread the news that you were deceived.
It was embarrassing on the one hand, and the most important thing was that 30,000 of the 50,000 yuan he was defrauded was borrowed by himself.
The people who lent him money were not ordinary people, but brave and capable people.
If they know they have been scammed, there are many ways to get their money back.
I still have two stores under my control, and they will definitely be taken away by those people when the time comes.
If I can't find Bangge and Deputy Factory Director Li, I won't even have a chance to turn around.
Therefore, in addition to waiting for news, he had to find it himself.
After leaving the business in the store to his family, he took the four store clerks to the outside of Dongzhimen the next day.
He only knew one clue about Bangge.
That is Lei Datou outside Dongzhimen. Bangge once said that Lei Datou asked him to come.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, he must first find Lei Datou.
It is impossible for outsiders to know about the acquaintance between myself and Lei Datou, unless Lei Datou tells Bangge.
At noon, the man named Li found Lei Datou.
Five people surrounded Lei Datou on the spot.
"Butou, we have just opened the new window and there are opportunities to make money everywhere. You are hell-bent on making quick money at any cost, so you want to fight with me? I'm in Beicheng, can you handle it?"
Although Lei Datou was fierce, he was surrounded by five people and could not withstand ten punches with both hands, so he did not dare to be reckless.
What's more, I didn't know what was going on and was suddenly surrounded, so I could only apologize.
"Uncle Li, I don't know what happened. We may have a misunderstanding. Can you tell me where I offended you?"
A waiter on the side said angrily: "Big head, don't think that you are great just because you have practiced it. Who among the people in Sijiu City doesn't know how to use three or two moves? Now Uncle Li is very angry and the consequences will be serious!"
As he said this, the four guys took hold of Lei Datou's arms.
Lei Datou is now much more stable and fierce than when he was a child.
He smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Li, even if you want to teach me a lesson, you have to let me know what you did wrong, right? Otherwise, as long as you can't kill me, I can kill you. Don't forget, this is my territory.
!”
The man surnamed Li waved his hand, indicating to the guys to let go of Lei Datou.
He said coldly: "You asked Banggian to find me with a false identity?"
Lei Datou nodded and said: "Yes, he gave me fifty yuan, and I gave him the identity certificate of my brother Lei Erniu. He said he wanted to track down a gang of liars, and he was also a wanted criminal. I am
I was very considerate when helping my friend, so I gave him the contact information of several acquaintances. They are all trustworthy and capable people. Of course you are among them, Uncle Li. What's wrong? Did I offend you?"
boom!
"You've done me such a terrible job of riding a horse!"
The man surnamed Li punched Lei Datou, but Lei Datou easily dodged it by tilting his head slightly.
His right hand was as fast as lightning, and the whole family grabbed Li's wrist.
He sneered and said: "Uncle Li, please speak nicely. Once you've finished speaking, we'll smooth things over. It's not too late for you to take action again."
Li's wrist was so painful that the four waiters immediately tried to arrest Lei Datou.
Lei Datou was very sensible and immediately let go and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Li, tell me quickly, there must be a misunderstanding here."
The man surnamed Li rubbed his wrist and signaled the guys to stop, and then told the whole story.
After listening to this, Lei Datou's eyes showed a cold light.
Immediately shouted: "Er Niu, come out!"
A tall and thin young man suddenly appeared from behind the alley.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"That guy Bangge is dishonest. Go to the street office and tell him that the certificate you issued some time ago was stolen from your wallet and lost near the steel rolling mill. You haven't had it in the past half month."
Go out of Dongzhimen!"
"I know, brother!"
The real Lei Erniu quickly went to report the crime and clear up the relationship.
Lei Datou rushed to the man named Li and said: "Uncle Li, have you been deceived and lost your mind? If I really sent a stick to deceive you, would I still let you find me? I would also directly admit that it was me.
Did you let Banggeng find you? This is obviously the boy's betrayal. I helped him, but he took advantage of the convenience I gave him to harm others."
The man surnamed Li said: "Anyway, it was you who led him to me. Of course I came to you after being deceived."
Lei Datou said: "It's useless for you to come to me, let's go find Bangge together!"
"Hmph! That's easy to say. What can you do and where can I find it?"
"Of course we go to his house. If he escapes, the monk will not be able to escape from the temple. Moreover, there is a capable person in that courtyard. We only ask him to do it more effectively than the police."
"What kind of capable person?"
"Speaking of which, I still have something to do with this capable man. I once defeated an invincible opponent in the Forty-Nine Cities, but was defeated by his son. Let's go, let's try to make friends with this capable man."
The man surnamed Li said suspiciously: "Not to mention whether this capable person is as good as you say, why should he help us?"
Lei Datou smiled and said: "You still don't know that Bang Gang and his son have been at odds since childhood. The two families have always had conflicts, and Deputy Factory Director Li fell into trouble at the hands of this capable man some time ago. I remember it was published in the newspaper some time ago.
The Bacuilou cooking competition?”
"Oh? I have a hotel and a clothing store under my control. Of course I have heard that the people behind the competition are Li Huaide and this talented person?"
"That's right, the enemy of my enemy is a friend. Many friends have many paths, many enemies have many walls. There is no need for him to reject our request."
"Etc., etc."
"What's wrong with you, Uncle Li?"
After a man named Li was cheated once, he became extremely cautious.
He asked coldly: "You have already explained to me that you did not deliberately send stick jokes to deceive me. As far as I know, you are not a warm-hearted person. You directly rejected me or acted cheating. There is no need to go to all the troubles to help me beg for help."
.”
"Back then, I was deceived by BangGeng and made a date with this capable man's son. I failed, but ended up being imprisoned again just after I got out of the juvenile detention center. This time I wanted to win over BangGeng when he was in trouble. I didn't expect this.
This kid is just a white-eyed wolf. If I don’t kill him with my own hands, I won’t be able to get rid of the bad temper of being tricked by him twice!”
The man surnamed Li nodded and asked: "Then, will this capable man help us? Didn't you fight with his son?"
"Well……"
Lei Datou thought about it carefully and found that he was really unsure.
Especially when I heard Bangge say some time ago that the girl he injured back then is now Lin Zhen’s eldest daughter-in-law.
But in order to vent his anger and clean up the situation, he could only bite the bullet and give it a try.
"Well, that was all because I was ignorant when I was young. This time I will apologize first, and then I will bring up the bad things. I am a polite person, and I won't hit anyone with a smile on my face. I will definitely not reject us directly."
afternoon.
In the courtyard.
Jia Zhang's funeral has just ended.
The two relatives who came to express condolences also returned home.
Peace returned to the courtyard.
Plainclothes men were still guarding the alley.
Lin Zhen said to Chen Zhiguo: "Let the brothers withdraw. The sticks will not appear. You might as well start investigating one by one from the acquaintances of Deputy Factory Director Li."
Chen Zhiguo shook his head helplessly and said: "We have investigated him a long time ago. We can't find out why. Everyone avoids mentioning him."
Lin Zhen said: "That's hard to say. Anyway, arranging plainclothes here is a waste of police force. I have asked my friends to pay attention nearby. Not to mention this alley, as long as Bangge enters our jurisdiction, he will be exposed."
Chen Zhiguo nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and report to the leader. If you help me stay nearby, I can indeed remove a few brothers."
Not long after Chen Zhiguo left.
Two people came to the courtyard.
One is about forty years old, about the same size as Lin Zhen, and the other is twenty-four or five years old, with a muscular body and bulging temples.
Both of them were holding large and small boxes of gifts in their hands.
After entering the courtyard, we walked to the door of Lin Zhen's house.
It was Lei Datou and the man named Li who came.
"Uncle Lin, please don't be offended by your sudden visit!"
When Lei Datou saw Lin Zhen at the door, he immediately went over and bowed deeply.
Lin Zhen was stunned, "Who are you?"
"Boy, I am Lei Bao, nicknamed Lei Datou. I was naughty when I was a child. I was deceived by the stick. I ran from outside Dongzhimen to compete with your second son in wrestling. Later, I was a bastard and even injured myself by throwing bricks.
Got someone."
"Oh~ It turns out to be your boy!"
Lin Zhen remembered that this was the little scoundrel who lost a wrestling match with his second son Lin, but then threw bricks to sneak up on him.
As a result, the brick hit Liu Yuanyuan on the forehead.
This little scoundrel was sent to a juvenile detention center again.
When Lei Datou heard that Lin Zhen still remembered him, he immediately bowed and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's me, kid."
Lin Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "Are you here to find me?"
"Well, Banggeng came to see me not long ago. He said that the girl I injured became your eldest daughter-in-law. When I heard that, I felt that I had committed a serious crime. I had wanted to come and apologize for a long time, but I just didn't have the courage."
"Then why are you here today?"
Lei Datou said sincerely: "Uncle Li from Beicheng came to see me today. It's this guy. He said that if you make a mistake, you should be brave enough to admit it. You can't just pretend to be confused because you're afraid of being blamed. So he brought me here."
The man surnamed Li quickly said hello: "Hello, Director Lin, my name is Li Weili. I own a restaurant and a clothing store in Beicheng. It's an honor to meet you."
Lin Zhen nodded politely and smiled,
"Lei Bao, you said that Banggeng came to see you a few days ago. You and Comrade Li Weili came to me, maybe it was because of Banggeng's matter?"
Li Weili and Lei Datou looked at each other and gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up in admiration.
"Director Lin, you are really a capable person. We don't want to go to Jia's house to block the door just yet. We want to report to you first!"
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll take you to the station and you can report it to the police."
"Oh, no, no, no, no, Uncle Lin, the police already knew about it yesterday afternoon, and we are here to report it to you!"
"Oh? So Bangge committed another crime?"
Li Weili said with a bitter look on his face: "Not only did he commit a crime, but he also got together with Li Huaide! Director Lin, I was defrauded of 50,000 yuan!"
Lei Datou said: "And he still used my clan brother's name and tricked me too!"
Lin Zhen looked at the anxious expressions of the two people and just shook his head slightly.
I thought that even if I had to send people to investigate Bangge, I couldn't make you feel that I was helping you, so I still had to keep a distance from you people.
"I have probably guessed your purpose of coming, and I may disappoint you. I have been very busy recently and have no time to help you find Banggeng. The Jia family has just finished the funeral. If you want to ask questions, you can go. For Li Huaide and Banggeng
, I suggest you still trust the police."
Lei Datou said hurriedly: "Uncle Lin, I don't think the police know as much as you do."
"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to apologize for the mistakes you made when you were young, I can accept it. If you want to have other purposes and want me to help you find good jokes, then forget it. We are not on the same path, and I am not a person.
A nice guy who enjoys helping others.”
