Chapter 11 Section 4 Money Laundered

It was also from that year that a large number of counterfeit banknotes appeared in the city.There are many kinds of counterfeit banknotes, not only 100 yuan and 50 yuan bills, but also 5 yuan banknotes and one yuan coins.Those who received counterfeit banknotes with larger denominations would come to the small shops in the suburbs and wander around. When they saw that the owners of the small shops were old men, old ladies, or rural women who had never seen the world, they would take out 100 yuan counterfeit banknotes. Buy a pack of cigarettes, or a bottle of beer.When the shopkeeper brought him a pile of real money, he would flee on his motorcycle.

Those who received counterfeit bills of lower denomination would take the counterfeit bills on the bus.At that time, the buses in this city could still collect change by sitting next to them.These people often put a counterfeit 20-yuan or 10-yuan bill into the bus cash register, then sit in the first row, collect the change in a grand manner, and get off the bus slowly after collecting enough change.It is said that because there are too many counterfeit banknotes, the bus company has forced the bus company to list the provisions of "one yuan on the bus, no change". However, there are also counterfeit bills for one dollar.I once received a one dollar coin in my pants pocket.After a heavy rain, the clothes were soaked and the counterfeit currency was revealed—it was rusted.

A large amount of counterfeit money flowed into the city from underground channels, and the criminal activities of criminals were also rampant.I interviewed a large number of counterfeit banknotes for real money. These deceptions are exquisitely designed and flawless, which is shocking. For example, some people came to the countryside on a motorcycle with a counterfeit one hundred yuan bill.This is generally around 10am.During this time, those who go to work at home and those who go to work in the fields, only the elderly and children are left.The villains parked their motorcycles at the gate of the yard without turning off the engine, then pointed to an empty bottle on the window sill or under the wall and said, "Old man, I want to refuel, there is nothing to fill with oil, sell me the beer bottle on your window sill. I'll give you five yuan." The old man said: "A bottle, take it away, you don't need money." The villain insisted on giving the money, and seeing that the old man was determined not to have money, he rode a motorcycle and went down the street. family.In the next house, the same trick was repeated, and the old man who wanted to take advantage of it exchanged his real 95 yuan and a beer bottle for the counterfeit 100 yuan banknote.

There is another trick.A villain met an old lady on the road with a fake 100 yuan bill, and said enthusiastically: "Auntie, I finally see you. I am your child's classmate. I lent him 20 yuan and want to pay him back." I can’t find him, so I’ll give it back to you now.” Then he took out the counterfeit one hundred yuan bill.If you meet an old lady who wants to take advantage of a small advantage, you will also be recruited, and exchange the 80 yuan real note for the 100 yuan counterfeit note. There are many more tricks for the bad guys. Unfortunately, Xiaolan encountered such a gang of counterfeit banknotes.

Later, I heard that Xiaolan got rid of the cripple because she moved to a residential building, away from the territory controlled by the cripple.Xiaolan found a new backer, a fat man in the local black business.The fat man is in the counterfeit banknote business. The fat man bought hundreds of thousands of counterfeit banknotes from an underground factory in the south at a price of ten yuan for every one hundred yuan, and then transported them to this city in batches through logistics channels, and then digested these counterfeit banknotes. Counterfeit banknotes are mainly sold in three places: train stations, suburban shops, and prostitutes' houses.

Every city's railway station is filled with dirt, fish and dragons, and it is also the place where criminals of all kinds are concentrated. Buying a fake in a train station shop is not a big deal; getting your money stolen is a big deal. You want to buy a bottle of drink with 10 yuan, and the price of the drink is 6 yuan. They take your money, check it and return it to you, saying that your money is short of a dime and cannot be used.You take it in surprise and take a look, it really is.Change it for 10 yuan, give it to them again, and it will still be missing a corner when it is refunded to you.This is strange, why is it like this.The 10 yuan in the wallet is gone, you take out a 100 yuan note to them, this time there is no corner, but they say yours is a counterfeit note.how can that be possible?Just before boarding the train, I took it from the bank and gave them a 100 yuan note, saying it was fake money.You become more and more confused, and if you change another one, it is still fake speculation.How many 100 yuan bills do you have, and they say that how many bills you have are counterfeit.It's so weird.Well, instead of buying here, you turn around and leave, take the money they have touched, go to the supermarket to buy drinks, and the money detector checks that it is all fake money!what happened?It turns out that all your real money was lost by them.

If you happen not to buy anything in this store, but choose another one, you also buy a drink, and the price of the drink is also 6 yuan.You took out 100 yuan to buy a bottle of drink, but the boss didn't look at your money and say it was fake money, but took it and gave you change.He let you watch, and you could see clearly, he held the change he wanted to give you and counted one by one: 10, 20, 30... 90, that’s right, a total of 9 pieces of 10 yuan; 91...94, that's right, a total of 4 pieces of one yuan.He hands you the money, and you usually don't count it anymore, put it in your pocket and turn away.If you want to count on a whim, you will find 9 pieces of 10 yuan, and there will be 3 pieces missing.You asked him, he said: "No, let me count again." He counted again, and it turned out to be nine 10 yuan.This time you are relieved, turn around and leave, and go to another place, need to buy something, only to find that there are three more 10 yuan missing.Strange, how could this be?You would never have thought that you met a master magician. After counting the money he wanted to give you, he had quietly hooked back three with his little finger.He does it very stealthily and quickly, you can only see clearly if you stand behind him.Moreover, among the six 10 yuan bills he gave you, it is inevitable that there will be counterfeit bills.

The city's railway station is a place with a lot of people, and every inch of land is expensive, but how much income can you earn by opening small shops and smoking hotels here?How can you afford the expensive rent? Therefore, there are many people doing the "business" of banknote swapping at the railway station. The suburbs are also where counterfeiters exchange money.Because people here have relatively little awareness of prevention. Brothels are also active locations for counterfeit money dealers.So, how do counterfeit dealers exchange money here? Xiaolan said that one day, she was standing on the side of the street when a car drove up silently in front of her. Big chunks of meat.The fat man with a big head said, "Sister, get in the car and talk."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door and got in. Xiaolan's criteria for selecting guests are: those who come in a car will not be rejected; those who are riding a motorcycle should be more careful;Those who are dressed up as migrant workers will not be rejected; those with oily hair and pink face should be more careful; That day, the fat man took Xiaolan to a hotel room that had been opened in advance.Xiaolan has never been in such a high-end place.She was curious and frightened, and she didn't even dare to sit on the sofa, worrying that she would have no money to compensate if the sofa collapsed.Seeing that the fat man sat down, she dared to carefully sit on the edge of the sofa.Everything in the hotel is high-end, and I look pretty in the dressing mirror, but my clothes look old, and I look a little scared.The toilets in the hotel are very clean, cleaner than the beds in my hometown.The floor of the hotel is covered with blankets, and there is no sound when stepping on high heels.

The fat man took his time and asked Xiaolan to take a bath with him first.The big fat man with his clothes off was like a plucked pig.When Xiaolan was a child, she saw pigs slaughtered in her hometown. People first stabbed the pig’s neck to drain the pig’s blood, then put the pig into a boiling water pot, plucked all the pig’s hairs, and then put their mouths on the pig’s neck to drain the blood. Knife blow.In this way, the pig is like a gradually inflated ball, with its limbs spread out and its belly bulging. At this time, when the pig is killed again, there will be a rustling sound in the direction of the blade...

That day, after Xiaolan's "work" was over, the big fat man gave Xiaolan a brand new 100 yuan. Xiaolan took it with suppressed joy and prepared to put it in her pocket.The big fat man said, "See if it's real or not?" Xiaolan looked at it and found that it was brand new, so she said, "Of course it's real with such new money." The big fat man smiled and said, "It's fake." Xiaolan was taken aback, and the counterfeit banknote fell on the bed.He didn't know what trick the fat man was trying to pull off. The fat man took out another old 100-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to her and said, "This one is real, you take it." Xiaolan collects the money, puts on her clothes, and prepares to go back.She is already very happy to have earned 100 yuan today, which is her highest single income.The fat man stopped Xiaolan, and he said, "In the future, if we cooperate, you will have a lot of money." The big fat man said that he has a fixed place, hidden in a residential building, and every time Xiaolan solicits customers, he takes the guests to that place.After the guest undresses, Xiaolan must put the guest's clothes on the sofa beside the bed.Then draw the partition curtain to separate the sofa from the bed, and they will do the rest. Xiaolan said, as long as it is beneficial to me and I can make money, I will do it. The big fat man said, we will give you a 20% commission. Xiaolan agreed. The place the fat man mentioned is 10 minutes away from the alley where Xiaolan often stands.To get to the place, you need to walk several turns in the deep alley.There is no sign above each bend, and there is no house number at that place. After entering a broken iron gate, it is an old residential building.The iron fence gate is often locked, and only the prostitutes and people who live here know that the fence gate will open only when you put your hand in and pull it out.The place is located on the third floor of a residential building, and there is still no sign. The first time, Xiaolan got lost when she came here, and she turned out after walking for a long time, but there was another road in front of her; the second time, Xiaolan was still lost, and when she went out, she found that it was different from the last time road.How many roads enter and how many roads go out here, Xiaolan has never figured it out.This is the perfect place for criminals to hide and escape. After several times, Xiaolan walked out from a fixed route, which was the place where she was soliciting customers. Afterwards, Xiaolan, who was familiar with the road conditions, stood at the place where she often stood on the street, waiting for clients to come forward; if someone who looked like a client passed by, she would yell, "Brother, stop."Xiaolan's attitude is very attentive, and her expression is very sincere. At first glance, she looks like a beautiful girl with "five lectures, four beauties and three loves".The fat man told Xiaolan not to look for those migrant workers who have no money, but to look for those well-dressed people who have money in their pockets.From then on, Xiaolan ignored the migrant workers, her eyes only fell on those people in suits, and some migrant workers came up to strike up a conversation: "Sister, go play?" Xiaolan said: "Ask your mother to play Go!" She replied like a good woman.Ten years ago, rich people in this city liked to wear suits and ties. Unlike now, many of those who wear suits are salesmen who sell products. Xiaolan led those people in suits to "that place", twisting and turning all the way, some people were timid and didn't want to go, Xiaolan said: "Hurry up, it's in front." She hugged the sleeves of her suit coquettishly, Rubbing her big breasts left and right on the sleeves, the "suit"'s mental defense collapsed, so she continued to walk. When she came to "that place", Xiaolan insisted that "Suit" pay first. Taking the opportunity of "Suit" to pick up and put the wallet, Xiaolan saw where "Suit" put the wallet, and the other pair of eyes in the room Also saw it.Xiao Lan graciously helped "Suit" undress, and "Suit" enjoyed it comfortably.Xiaolan put the suit on the sofa, closed the curtains, and put him on the bed.For safety, Xiaolan turned the "suit" back to the sofa.She keeps talking, disturbing Suit's thinking; or keeps moaning loudly, covering up another activity under the bed at this moment. A few minutes or ten minutes later, Xiaolan finished her "work" and went out together with her dressed "suit". At a certain fork in the road, Xiaolan separated from the "suit" on an excuse. "Suit" happily walked forward alone, and walked out of this alley.Hungry, he finds a restaurant to eat, pays, and takes out a counterfeit 100 yuan note; another, still counterfeit note... Every time Xiaolan catches a good client, she will call a man, and she will say on the phone: "I have something to do, so I won't come to your place." The man who received the call knew it was a code, and he would Come to "that place" in advance, he has the key to the door of "that place".He is the younger brother of the big fat man.The big fat man has several younger brothers like this, and they rely on different ladies to exchange fakes for real ones. After this man came to "that place", he would hide under the bed or behind the sofa in advance.He secretly and clearly saw the client take the wallet and put it back; he remembered where the wallet was placed, whether it was a coat pocket or a trousers pocket; he clearly saw Xiaolan take off the client's clothes , like peeling off a zongzi.They go to bed, and they make fish-water noises.He was dispatched. He took the wallet out of the client's pocket, took out the 100 yuan and 50 yuan inside, took as much as he had, and then put the counterfeit bills in according to the number of sheets, and put the clothes back to their original appearance. The prostitute never dreamed that there were other people in this room; he never dreamed that when he was happy, there was someone under the bed who was happier than him. Until they go out from here, and go far away, the clients will usually go far away after finishing their work, and they don't want to meet acquaintances here.Everyone in the city knows that this is the red light district, a place of right and wrong.The client went to a far place to spend, only to know that he had been cheated.Some even didn't know where they were tampered with, and some people suspected that they were counterfeit banknotes obtained from banks.However, no one would suspect Xiao Lan who seemed pure and kind. In fact, there was not only that one man in that place, but several others.They waited in the other bedroom of the two-bedroom house, and they were all thugs. Once, the client got mad and didn't pay in advance, relying on his strength, he planned to rape Xiaolan.Xiaolan yelled, and from another room, three young men with tattoos who only wore trousers rushed out, beat the client until he was bruised and knelt down to beg for mercy.In the end, all the money on the client's body was looted, so he could only run away clutching his flat wallet. Xiaolan seemed ecstatic when she told me about this. Seeing her laughing so hard, I understood that this girl who was once raped by a cripple has now completely become a criminal.Should I report the crime?I fell into the same hesitation and hesitation as when I saw the cripple rape her.If I report the case, I will betray Xiaolan's trust in me, and the trail of the prostitute's life will be completely cut off from now on; if I don't report the case, more people will be victimized.what to do?I have no idea. The big fat man is at the top of the criminal chain of counterfeiting banknotes. Below him are a group of money-changing thugs, and below them are these prostitutes. Xiaolan is just one of them.
