Chapter 16 Section 4 break into the theft gang

I don’t know how long I slept, when the iron grille door of the detention room rang suddenly, and a policeman shouted my name loudly, asking me to go out.I opened my eyes and saw the rising sun shining on the corridor, it turned out that the sky was already bright. The police took me into the same room as yesterday, and I was still sitting on the square stool from yesterday.The policeman looked at me dignifiedly and said, "We know everything about you, so please hurry up and talk about it." I thought to myself, it’s broken, the jeans may be the plainclothes that the police put into the detention room, or the detention room is equipped with a bug, otherwise, how would the police know about my affairs?

I had no choice but to explain my situation in detail, saying that I was an unannounced reporter who broke into the theft gang.The policeman said in amazement: "This is too dangerous. Have you considered the consequences? These thieves are desperadoes. As long as you show your feet, they will kill and silence you." I said, "I'm an unannounced reporter, and that's what I eat." The police went out and left me alone in a small room with the door open. I walked into the corridor and saw that there was no one in the corridor. They were not on guard against me. A few minutes later, the policeman came in.He asked me very politely: "Are you hungry? Would you like some food?"

My stomach is really hungry, it has been growling since last night, I smiled and said: "If you have anything to eat, just take some." The policeman went out again, and when he came back, he was holding three big meat buns. I took them and bit off half of them in one bite.The policeman poured water for me and said: "In our jurisdiction, there are several gangs of thieves. They were arrested and released, and they were arrested again. It’s fine to catch it all.” I swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in my mouth and said, "As long as I can break into them, I can find the thief."

The policeman said, "It's very difficult." I asked, "Are those two thieves?" The policeman said, "Yes." I said, "Put me in, and I will find the culprit through them." The police refused, saying that such unannounced visits were too dangerous.Later, I begged again and again, and he agreed after asking the leader for instructions.He said: "If you are in danger, call the police station as soon as possible, and we will dispatch immediately." He told me the office phone number of the police station and let me remember it firmly. I am grateful for this policeman.Among all departments, the public security department has the most clues, but it is also the most difficult to interview.Unless it is a reporter who goes to the public security gate, other reporters who want to cover a case must obtain the consent of the Political Department and the Propaganda Department. After this process of review, the news generally becomes old news.

Later, I developed a very friendly relationship with this police officer. I went back to the internment room again, still with a sad face.Jeans asked me: "What did they ask?" I said, "Nothing, let me admit to stealing." Jeans said in a well-informed tone: "You can't admit it. If you admit it, you will be jailed; if you don't admit it, he will have to let you go." A thief has no stolen goods, as hard as steel.That's right. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning, and we walked out of the internment room. We wore jeans and trousers with a look of "seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist" on our faces, and I was also overjoyed.

Walking on the street, I said, "The three of us are also friends in need, let's have a meal together." Jeans and trousers were all scrambling to say that there was no money, and I said, "I'm treating you." They immediately beamed again.These are two petty thieves. That meal cost me more than 100 yuan. They not only order food, but also drink, and the wine is expensive Langjiu.After drinking and eating, they walked on the street contentedly with toothpicks in the corners of their mouths. I said to the jeans, "Brother, bring your brother with you, let's make a fortune together."

Jeans said: "You're a bit stupid, I guess the boss won't want you." At the crossroads, the trousers waved their hands and walked on another road. I asked the jeans: "How did he get away?" Jeans said: "He is from another faction, and we are not in the same way. They only touch big ones, not small ones." Jeans obviously regarded me as his own. He sat with me by the flower bed, smoking the cigarette I lighted for him, puffing and talking, and he said that he had an idea yesterday and was discovered. But the wallet had already been transferred, and the man grabbed him and yelled, just as the police passed by and arrested him.He said that in today's arena, you must form a group and form a gang to be successful. If you work alone, you will die in an ugly way.

Jeans is obviously an old quack, and he told me about the rules of the quack, and I was dumbfounded. It turns out that in the city we live in, there are many gangs of thieves. Some gangs only steal big things, some only steal wallets, some pick doors and locks, and some steal on the streets.Those who steal cars will never steal wallets, and those who steal wallets will never touch cars, otherwise the rules of the world will be messed up. The rivers and lakes, mysterious rivers and lakes since ancient times, are filled with endless legends and legends. The name of the jeans is crab, which I only found out later.

The crab is in front of me, showing off to the best of its ability.He said that he could tell where the money of the person in front of him was at a glance. He looked at me and asked, "Do you believe me?" I said, "I don't believe it." He said, "Don't believe it? Hmph, I'll let you see it and believe it." A girl came in front, wearing a down jacket and jeans, carrying a huge dragging satchel. The satchel slapped her ass like a sheep's tail. The down jacket was unbuttoned, and the hem of the clothes on both sides was bulging like chicken wings. ."The girl's money is in the back pocket of her jeans," said Crab.

After the crab finished speaking, he walked towards the girl, and the moment he brushed against him, the crab lightly touched the girl's shoulder.The girl turned her head and glanced at him, but continued to walk forward without saying a word.The crab waved to me, and when I passed by, he raised his hand to me showing off, with a small red wallet in his palm. We walked to the street, and the crab ordered some money, which was more than 500 yuan.A smug smile appeared on the crab's face. I asked him, "How do you know that the girl's wallet is in the back pocket?" The crab said: "If a girl's purse is packed in a satchel, the satchel must be placed in front or on the side. If it is packed in the skylight, the buttons of the clothes will be buckled. Looking at her like this, the purse must be packed in the tunnel." .”

The crab said it happily, and I was dumbfounded when I heard it. We walked slowly along the sidewalk of the street and came to the crossroads. There was a small alley next to the crossroads. It was a street of New Year's goods. There were countless red lanterns, red couplets, and red ropes. Chinese knots hang above each of the stalls, making this otherwise ordinary street glorious.Every stall is stacked with neatly stacked red envelopes, big-headed dolls clasping their fists to greet the New Year, and strings of red peppers made of cloth... Looking around, this street is like a red river full of rose petals. I came here with the crab, and the crab looked a little excited.He said quietly: "People who come to buy new year's goods must wear handles on their bodies, and they may be able to get a few thresholds." Later I learned that in the world of thieves, money is not called money, but handles.Anything under one hundred yuan is called water; one hundred yuan is called one piece; several hundred yuan is called several pieces; one thousand yuan is called one threshold;It is quite rare to be able to get more than 10,000 yuan in cash at one time, because now people don’t carry too much money with them when they go out. When they need a lot of money, they always bring a card, which is safe and convenient. The crab was humming a very popular song that year, "The Sunshine Always After the Storm", and his eyes flicked around.He quietly showed off to me: "I can know how many guns someone has, do you believe it or not?" I looked at him noncommittally. A girl passed us by, wearing myopia glasses, her hair tied into a ponytail, and carrying a backpack, she seemed to be a college student.The crab said: "There may be water in this bag." In order to convince me, he took a few steps and caught up with the girl.When he turned back again, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, and there was an extra wallet in his palm. When we came to the public toilet, the crab opened the wallet, and sure enough, only 83 yuan, a few steel coins, ID cards, and bus cards were found in it.Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the toilet, Crab packed the money, bus card, and ID card on his body, and threw the wallet into the wastebasket. Crab said that this kind of backpack is the easiest to be taken by people. Stuffing things in the backpack is equivalent to putting them in their pockets.You don't need to be covered by anyone, you can do it by yourself, and you can take whatever you want. "I don't know what idiot invented this thing, it was invented for us," said the crab jokingly. We continued to walk on the New Year's Shopping Street, and came to a postbox. Seeing that no one was paying attention, the crab threw the ID card into the postbox. The crab told me that he is a very kind-hearted person, unlike other people who throw away all the unnecessary things and cause unnecessary losses to others. "Whatever you do, you have the morality of that profession." Crab explained to me.There is also a way to steal. After walking tens of meters forward, the crab stared at an old lady again.He said: "This old man has two or three handles in his down jacket." He also said: "According to this situation, Xiao Li's flying knife should be used, but there is no flying knife, so it depends on technique. You should learn from me." His expression was full of complacency. We have been following the old lady. The old lady came to the front of a booth, unbuttoned the down jacket, took out a wad of money from the inner pocket, took out a few yuan, and put the rest of the money in. No buttons.The old lady took the few yuan to bargain with the stall owner, the crab squeezed up, turned around, and came back again, with a wad of money in her hand, which the old lady put in the pocket of the down jacket. The crab counted the money, a total of 280 yuan and 6 cents. The crab winked at me with a contented expression. I asked, "Why do you always take women's?" The crab said: "Do you understand? The women's ones are the best." I asked, "How do you know how many they have?" The crab said: "This is the trick. If you have been in this business for a long time, you will know it." In less than an hour, more than 300 yuan was stolen. This thief's business is very good. There are a lot of people on the street for new year's goods, but the crabs must leave.He explained that it is a rule of thumb to change places after you have succeeded twice. We got on the bus, and the crab took the bus card that he had just stolen. After a beep, it turned out to be a student card. The driver looked at the mustache of the crab, and hesitated to speak.The crab sat next to me triumphantly. I asked, "Where are we going now?" The crab said: "Go to the base camp. But you can't say that I succeeded outside." I knew that he wanted to keep the more than 300 yuan for himself and didn't want to hand it over to the "base camp", so I said, "I didn't see it." The crab smiled with satisfaction: "The boy is still a little clever." Crabs have two hobbies, one is talking and the other is chewing betel nuts.When I met him again in the future, he was either talking or chewing betel nuts.His mouth is always moving non-stop, like a perpetual motion machine, as if his mouth stops moving, he will feel uncomfortable.Crab is a talkative person who likes to brag and show off.His two front teeth protruded outwards, and his lips were raised. It is said in the book of physiognomy that people with this appearance talk a lot.His teeth are black all over his mouth, which is the result of long-term chewing of betel nuts. Crabs always like to talk a lot of nonsense with great interest, thinking that their language is humorous and capable.He can talk about anything, from Saddam Hussein and bin Laden to how much a catty of leeks cost. He is an oddity in the gang of thieves. In the afternoon, the crabs are in a hurry to go back.He said that there are regulations in the base camp, if you do not return to the team for more than one day and one night, you will be punished.In the detention room, the maximum time will not exceed 24 hours. The crab took me to the gate of a beautiful residential area. He said that he couldn't take me in, and he needed to tell the boss first.Only after the boss agrees can he take me in.He asked, "What's your cell phone number? After the boss agrees, I'll call your cell phone." I said, "I don't have a cell phone." The crab laughed at me and said, "What a poor guy, he's so stupid that he doesn't even have a cell phone... Then I'll come down and let you know." I watched the crab walk into the gate of the complex, and the security guards who were in name only did not even ask him. Obviously, these thieves have lived here for a long time.I sat by the flower bed at the gate of the community, and my heart was really like what I often wrote in my composition when I was a child: fifteen buckets fetched water, up and down.Did that mysterious boss promise me to join their gang?What is the relationship between crabs, centipedes, and praying mantises?Are they a gang?How many gangs of thieves are parasitizing here? I waited by the flower bed for nearly an hour before the crab appeared. I went up to meet it hopefully, but the crab said, "Boss doesn't want you because you haven't received professional training." I begged him and said: "You tell the boss." The crab said: "The boss said that only experienced hands should be used, not novices. I can't help it." After the crab finished speaking, he left without hesitation, walked into the community again, and didn't look back. My heart was freezing again.I had to plod along the sidewalk, after so many days, just circling around the perimeter of the gang of thieves, wasting so much time, just learning a few quack jargon.I am devastated. I didn't know where to go, so I walked forward aimlessly.The sun was setting, and the floors in the distance were covered with a ray of light. There was an excavator beside the floor, like a prehistoric monster, it opened its arms, and with a wave of its hand, a large building collapsed. I continued to walk forward and came to a quiet alley.The sky was getting darker and darker, and the trees on both sides of the alleyway were dark, as if a huge conspiracy was brewing.There are few people in this alley, and there are no street lights. There was a sudden sound of a car engine behind me, and just as I had time to get out onto the steps, the car stopped beside me.I turned my back to the wall and looked at the car nervously. Three people got out of the car, all wearing suits. They wanted to check my ID card. I asked them to show their ID card. The cloth bag was put on my head, and my eyes were dark.Another person said, "Don't shout, I'll kill you if you shout." I felt a hard, sharp object pressing against my chest. I was pushed into the car, and the car was going so fast that I could hear the engine rumbling.No one in the car spoke.I was thinking nervously, who is this group of people?Is it someone I offended during my unannounced visits?Or someone who wants to rob me?I thought of the first unannounced visit to the beggar community, living in the manhole, and being hunted down by Scar; I also thought of the countless unannounced visits, large and small, every time was full of dangers. If it comes to death, I don’t even know I’m dead How many times.Thinking about it this way, I feel calmer in my heart. Fuck it, let him go and see where they take me.The big deal is to die, what difference does it make if you die early or die late! The car drove for a long time, then stopped, and a man tied the cloth bag on my head in a knot around my neck, and then shouted: "Get down!" I groped for the car door and walked down, stood up straight, and the car drove away, leaving behind a strong smell of gasoline.I don't know where this is, and I don't know who are around me. I just feel the wind blowing past me, and my hands and feet are cold. This place should be in the suburbs. A person in front shouted: "You fucking son of a bitch, what do you want to do, say!" When I heard it, I felt calmer. Fuck it, there were a gang of thieves in front of me, who took me for a plainclothes policeman and didn't even know that I was a reporter.They are not at all the people I offended during my unannounced visits. I straightened my chest like a hero in an old movie, and shouted righteously: "I am not Lei Zi, who are you?" The voice in front of him shouted again: "Aren't you saying no? I've been following you for a long time, and you fucking work in the bureau." Underworld Jianghu called both the Public Security Bureau and the police station the Bureau. I laughed loudly and said loudly, "If I were Lei Zi, you would stab me to death right now." The voice asked again, "What on earth do you do?" I said that I was a single thief, and I had a younger brother who fell to his death and could only fly solo. He was not skilled, was caught, and just got out of the police station. The person in front of me didn’t speak anymore, and there was no sound around me. After a few minutes, the cloth bag on my head was taken off, and the first thing that caught my eyes was the clear light everywhere, like water like fog, and the round moon hung in the sky, like A red lantern. The man in front of me approached, patted my shoulder, and walked away.I understand, they finally accepted me. Sitting in the car back to the city, I recalled the experience just now, why did the crab appear after leaving for so long?That means their base camp is not in that community at all.Why did they kidnap me in that alley?Someone must have been following me behind me. The gang of thieves is really exhausted. After the car entered the city, a person next to me put on a pair of glasses for me, and he said viciously, "Don't take them off!" After putting on the glasses, my eyes were completely dark.This is a pair of special glasses, the lens may be something like black iron.I don't know where they're going or who I'm going to meet. After about 20 or 30 minutes, the car finally stopped, and I was led out of the car by one hand. After walking a few steps, I heard a voice shouting: "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a blind man?" Then Hearing Chi Chi's crisp laughter, there may be children watching curiously. Then, I went up the steps, stopped again, walked up a slope, walked a section of flat road, stopped, the people around me were close to me, and walked again... Then, the glasses were taken off.The strong light irritated my eyes like razor blades. I blinked hard, and finally I was able to open them. I saw a man in his 40s sitting on the chair in front of him. He had a bald head, no flesh on his cheeks, and extremely fierce eyes. , he rests on his right hand on the back of the chair, without index and middle fingers. How can you steal without your index and middle fingers?How could there be such a "useless person" in the theft gang? I suddenly remembered the story of the lame wolf told by my father and Uncle Gousheng. The lame wolf lost the inherent fighting power of wolves, but the lame wolf is indeed the well-deserved leader of the wolf pack.The fierce man in front of him is Lame Wolf. Like Lame Wolf, he is not only extremely cunning, but also extremely cruel. This may be the base camp, and this lame wolf may be the boss. After that, I became a member of the theft gang.
