Huang Qianqian stuck out her tongue. "I only heard from my cousin yesterday that she didn't even prepare a gift. It's too late to celebrate on the same day."
"So it was you who arranged it. You even dared to lie to me that there was a new clue for the case." Han Bin pretended to be angry. "You deserve to be punished. Clean up the fireworks on the ground later. If I see one, you'll have to pay for this week's cleanliness."
Huang Qianqian pouted and snorted. She complained, "Tsk, I won't celebrate your birthday next time. Take my kindness as …"
Han Bin glanced at everyone. "I feel everyone's kindness and I've accepted your gifts. As I said, when this case is over, I'll treat everyone to a meal.
Alright, since everyone is here, let's have a meeting. "
Another meeting. Everyone secretly cursed and immediately felt discouraged.
Seeing everyone's expression, Han Bin knew what they were thinking because Han Bin had the same thought in the past.
However, the dragon-slaying teenager would eventually grow up.
Only after sitting in this position would one understand the importance of a meeting.
Of course, Han Bin's style of meeting was still very simple. There was basically no nonsense and he would not hold a meeting for the sake of a meeting.
"Ring ring ring …" Han Bin's phone rang.
The caller was Zhang Shungu. He was staring at Song Yingfa in the detention room.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Shungu spoke quickly. "Song Yingfa's phone is ringing."
"Answer it!"
The matter was urgent. Han Bin did not waste time and hung up the phone. He said to everyone, "Let's not have a meeting. Team Leader Zhu and Team Leader Wang, follow me to the technical department."
…
"Ring ring ring …"
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and handed the phone to Song Yingfa. "Answer the phone. Remember what we told you. If you don't know what to say, we'll write it down on paper to remind you. "
"Okay."
Song Yingfa picked up the phone. His palms were sweaty and he was inexplicably nervous. "Hello."
A voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello."
"I'm Song Yingfa."
After a moment of silence, a man's voice came from the phone again. "I know. I remember your voice very clearly."
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, you can't even recognize my voice?"
"You are Old Ma."
"Don't call me that intimately. I'm not familiar with you." The man's voice was filled with resentment.
"Old Ma, let me explain. There might be some misunderstanding between us." Song Yingfa gestured to Zhang Shungu and the others to confirm that the other party was Ma Shengkai.
Zhang Shungu nodded in response, gesturing for him to continue.
"Bullsh * t misunderstanding. Give me back the gold ornaments we stole, and I'll believe it's a misunderstanding."
"I've already sold the gold ornaments, so I can't give you half."
"Hehe, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? What's there to talk about?"
"Let me finish. Although the gold ornaments are gone, I can give you half of the money."
"You are so kind."
"Sigh … Old Ma, in your heart, I'm the kind of person who forgets about money and doesn't even care about my own brothers. We can be considered brothers who have gone through fire and water together. I will do something wrong to you for some money. "
"Then why did you take away all the gold ornaments back then?"
Song Yingfa explained, "It's not easy to sell the stolen gold ornaments. I had to use my connections to exchange the gold ornaments for money, and I even paid them a commission. It's not easy to find a reliable buyer. Exchanging the gold ornaments represents a risk, and I also have to pay a commission. So, exchanging them all at once is worth it.
Moreover, it's not safe to leave the gold ornaments in the melon shed. I took them all, but that doesn't mean I want to keep them all. I've always kept your share of the money and never touched it. I was waiting for you to come back and personally give it to you. "
"Humph, your words sound better than a song. Who knows if you're just coaxing me or not." Ma Shengkai's tone softened.
"I've been looking for you for the past few years, but you disappeared without a trace. I wanted to give you money, but I couldn't find you. It wasn't until you went to my house to look for my son that I knew you had returned to Qingdao. This time, I came back to Qingdao to give you your share of the money. "
Ma Shengkai questioned, "If you really wanted to give it to me, why did you wait for me to come back? Why didn't you just give it to my son? It's not like you don't know my house. "
Song Yingfa's tone was a bit harsh, "Are you brainless? How can I give the money to your son? What should I say if your son asks about the source of the money? Should I tell him that we robbed the gold shop? Is there something wrong with my brain, or is it that I've lived for too long?
I didn't f * cking want to take your money, but I won't risk my life for you either. In any case, I've already done my best. If you still want to pick a fight, then I won't serve you.
Hurry up and take your money. Otherwise, we won't know each other anymore. "
Song Yingfa's sudden attack stunned Ma Shengkai. He seemed to believe it a bit and sighed, "Old Song, don't be angry. I'm not picking a fight. It's just that these years haven't been easy for me. I've finally returned to Qingdao and was about to exchange my gold ornaments for a few years, only to find out that they're gone. How can I not be worried?"
Song Yingfa curiously asked, "Where the f * ck have you been all these years? There's no news from you at all. You're even cleaner than me."
"Hey, don't mention it. I'm getting angry every time you mention it. Back then, after robbing the gold shop, it caused a huge commotion and the entire city was searching for me. Not only were you afraid, I was also afraid and wanted to find a remote place to hide.
In the end, I got pecked by the geese. I was tricked into the black coal mine. It was f * cking miserable. I was so strong when I first went in, but after six years of squatting there, I never had a full meal. I was as hungry as a baboon. "
"Old Ma, is what you're saying true? Can those coal miners trap you?"
"Old Song, don't look down on those coal miners. They're old black and ruthless. Ever since I was caught, I've been wearing shackles. If I look at you, they'll whip me. If I can't finish the work, I can't eat. Even if I finish the work, I can only eat half full.
Think about it, if you don't even have enough to eat, how would you have the strength to escape? They have many ways of torturing people, and they want us to supervise each other. If one of us escapes, the rest of us will be punished. If he reported one, he could eat meat for a month.
You think I don't want to run? I've never run. There are more scars on my back than the branches of a willow tree. Those people are simply inhuman. Their hearts are blacker than coal. "
Song Yingfa asked, "Old Ma, how did you manage to escape since the guards were so strict?"
"Hey, don't mention it. It's not something to be proud of."
"The more you say that, the more curious I am. What's going on? Tell me. "
"Sigh …" Ma Shengkai sighed again. His tone was a little complicated. "Just when I thought that my life was over, that I couldn't escape, that I was going to die in a coal pit … Suddenly, a group of policemen rushed in and subdued the thugs. They also rescued us, the black kiln workers.
Six years, after six whole years, I finally had a full meal. I finished the meal while crying. It was so f * cking delicious. I still remember it now. If it wasn't for an old policeman stopping me, I think I would've stuffed myself to death.
I saw that the old policeman was even closer to me than my father. I was so touched that I almost turned myself in. "
"Turned myself in? Really?"
"Really, more real than gold and silver. I really thought about turning myself in. Even staying in jail was much better than dying in a coal pit. At that time, I really regarded the police who rescued me as my second parent. I really wanted to tell them everything from the bottom of my heart. "
"Then why didn't you say anything?"
"That policeman asked me where my home was. He said that he wanted to inform his family to pick me up. At that time, I thought that going home was better than going to jail. I could also enjoy my old age, so I calmed down and didn't act impulsively. "
"It's right not to act impulsively. No matter how good the police are, they're not as close as my son."
"I also thought so at that time. I thought that when I returned to Qin Island, I could enjoy a few years of happiness with my son. But who knew … Humph, people have to rely on themselves. I can't count on anyone."
"From what you said, you also had a conflict with your son?"
"In the beginning, when I was just rescued, my son treated me quite well. My family was also nice. But after all, we haven't seen each other for many years. Suddenly living together, there was a lot of discomfort, and there were more and more conflicts.
At that time, I was penniless and didn't have any money for retirement. I had to ask for money from them, so there were more and more conflicts.
I finally understood one thing. As long as people are alive, they can't live without money. I went to the melon shed where the stolen goods were hidden. After digging for a long time, I only found the tools of the crime, but all the gold ornaments were gone. At that time, I was a bit disappointed.
Later, I also went to your house to ask around. I heard that you died many years ago. I asked your son, and he also said that you were dead. I knew that you didn't die and probably ran away with the gold ornaments. I thought you were going to take it all for yourself. It really made me angry. "
Song Yingfa continued to ask, "I heard from my son that the police are investigating a gold shop robbery. Did you do it?"
"Haha, you also heard about it."
"You really did it."
"Of course. Although I'm old, I'm not old. Those police didn't even catch a single hair of mine."
Song Yingfa was a bit worried, "Did you do it cleanly? Did the police have their eyes on you? Don't drag me into this."
"Don't worry, I did it cleanly and didn't leave any evidence. Just like us back then, the police can't find anything."
"Alright then, where are you now? I'll go find you. I'll give you your share of the money and we'll have a drink together. It's time for me to go. "
"You're leaving Qin Island again?"
"Sigh …" Song Yingfa sighed, "I'm different from you. I'm a dead man now. I can't come back in this life. I can only die in a foreign land."
"Alright then, I'll send you an address later. Let's have a good chat. We haven't seen each other for so many years, we must have a few drinks."
"That's settled then."
Ma Shengkai hung up.
Song Yingfa leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat off his forehead. It's not hard to lie, but it's hard to keep lying. "Team Leader Zhang, is it okay for me to say this?"
"Not bad." Zhang Shungu revealed a look of joy and took away Song Yingfa's phone, "The technology department has already located the phone number. When Ma Shengkai sends us the specific address, we'll be able to arrest him."
