Chapter 22 Chapter Ten Doubtful

That night I lived in a house with the crab, and when the crab saw me go back to the room, he only gave me a meaningful look, and continued to chew betel nuts richly. I suddenly remembered the scene I met that colleague that day. When he asked me how much the year-end bonus was paid, the crab walked beside me. Crab is a talker, and it is not difficult to get words out of his mouth. His mouth has two functions, one is to talk nonsense, and the other is to chew betel nuts. I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, deliberately not looking at the crabs.I said leisurely: "Recently, I heard someone talking about you and saying some bad news about you."

The crab didn't even look at me, and said in an unfathomable tone: "Talk about me? Who doesn't know who you're talking about, hum." I peeked at his face like a wild crane. I continued: "Some people say you are Lei Zi, really." Crab couldn't bear it any longer, he stood up and looked at me and said, "You are Leizi, you think I don't know?" I smiled and said, "I am Lei Zi? How am I like Lei Zi?" The crab said in a showy tone: "Everyone asks how many year-end bonuses you have given out, so it must be your colleague. When you saw the leeches being beaten today, not only did you not go to help, but you even laughed behind your back."

I deliberately said: "Who said I didn't help? I rushed in several times and was squeezed out by the crowd." The crab said, "You think I'm blind, but I can see clearly." Hold!I cursed fiercely in my heart, it turned out that it was the crab who watched me today.But I can't point it out. The crab continued to babble: "When you see people beating leeches, you stand by and watch. You laugh when the leeches are beaten." I recalled the scene that day, and I never knew where the crab was hiding, but I could even see my facial expression clearly.In order to achieve the goal of punishing thieves with thieves, the lame wolf will constantly change the people who watch, follow, and thugs almost every day.Thieves don't know who is watching, and thugs don't know who is following.Lame Wolf can definitely be a qualified corporate executive.

There was lightning in my heart, but my appearance was as smooth as a mirror. I said, "I'm not a fucking son of mine. I'm Leizi after Chinese New Year. I've already gone home. However, I heard people talking about it behind my back. Yours is another matter." The crab stopped talking, and I believe he must be anxiously waiting for me to say what is going on.But I prefer not to say. I said slowly: "If the boss finds out about this matter, your life will be in danger." Crab finally couldn't hold back anymore, he walked to my bedside and said, "They're all men, hurry up, what did you say to me?"

I still deliberately did not point out, I said: "You should know what to say, but they are just talking nonsense, there is no evidence, but I have evidence." He asked urgently, "What evidence?" I said unhurriedly, "You know." Still struggling, the crab asked, "What do I know?" I heard his chaotic breathing. I said, "Everyone is away from home. It's not easy. Just get by. Don't embarrass anyone. If the fish dies and the net breaks, it will be bad for everyone." Crab anxiously explained: "I didn't tell the boss about you, and I didn't tell anyone. The three of them were arrested. If you come back alone, the boss will definitely punish you."

Boss?Who is the boss?Is it a lame wolf?Is that the old man?Is there someone else? I know that the crab's broken mouth is a funnel, and any secret can leak out.Crabs steal at the level of a thirty-year-old adult and speak at the level of a three-year-old.He is very showy, he is a "great fool as wise" person. I deliberately said in a contemptuous tone: "Can you talk to the boss? You don't even know who the boss is." The crab hurriedly said, "Of course I know." I said, "My boss won't meet a small fish like you, you know what the hell." The crab said proudly: "Anyway, I know, you won't know."

I said: "You think I don't know, I already knew, isn't it just the old man with white beard, we even had dinner together." The crab said in a mocking tone: "Oh—that's the old man with the white beard." From the tone of the crab, the old man with the white beard is not the boss, so what is his identity?When the two thieves gangs clashed that day, he was standing beside the boss of the gang -- that big fat man. Isn't he the boss?Who is he then?Could there be someone with a higher status than him in the gang? I continued to ask the crab, but the crab didn't say who was the boss, only that I had seen the boss.He said: "There is discipline in the gang, whoever talks nonsense about the boss will have his tongue cut out."

I thought, how can someone who is only in the three-year-old IQ age group become a thief?Isn't the boss of the gang worried that he will tell everything if he is caught?I deliberately said: "A person like you who is not strong-willed will tell others everything when he gets into a situation." The crab said seriously: "Of course I won't say it. The boss said that as long as I get into the game, Lei Zi will ask three questions. I always do this. Lei Zi will never want to ask anything from my mouth." Everyone in the theft gang, regardless of their position or IQ, is loyal to the boss.

However, why are they hiding from me who is the boss? Crab also told me about the rest of the gang that night.Human beings may all have the habit of talking about right and wrong behind their backs and criticizing people. We first talked about the lame wolf. He said that the lame wolf used to be the boss in a nearby city, and then the second child in the gang took over and drove him out.Before being kicked out, the second child cut off the index and middle fingers of his right hand.For a thief, losing his index and middle fingers means that a wolf loses its claws and becomes a Dalmatians; a poisonous snake loses its fangs and becomes a leather tube. Who else would be afraid of them?

Now that the crab can talk nicely about the lame wolf, the lame wolf must not be the boss.The crab said that the lame wolf had a wife and a child, and they all lived in another city.Lame Wolf married his wife when he was at the peak of his career. It is said that his wife is very beautiful.The lame wolf would go to that city to reunite with his family every once in a while.The lame wolf held his wife and child's hands with his incomplete fingers, and walked together in the wilderness of red apricot branches in spring. People would envy this wealthy family of three, but they would not think that every copper coin on the lame wolf's body was stained with blood. .

I asked: "The lame wolf looks very smart, how can he let others steal his seat?" The crab said with a smile: "Smart? What's the use of being smart? The second child is much bigger than him. He expanded the territory, and they drove him away to take a ready-made one." I asked, "What's the background of that second child?" The crab said: "I also heard people say that he is a local local snake. First he monopolized the entire slaughter market, and then the country stopped private slaughter, so he stepped into our industry. That kid is so powerful, now the whole city The market is all his, and I heard that there are hundreds of brothers under his command." The lame wolf couldn't steal anymore, so he came to our city and became an instructor, using his rich experience to train thieves. It turns out that the world of thieves is also changing, dynasties change, the survival of the fittest, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before die on the beach. While we were talking, I accidentally turned my head and saw a large figure reflected in the window.The moon that night was like a newly sharpened sickle, not round, but shining brightly. The crab's broken mouth was still chattering, but I closed it.The crab talked about the dictatorship of the lame wolf, and thought he would be driven out soon because he was unpopular. He asked me, "Do you think so?" I didn't say anything.The crab said angrily: "Fuck you let me tell you, I fell asleep first." I still didn't say a word. The room was silent.After a few minutes, the black shadow outside the window left. There are no traps everywhere in the thieves gang, and even when they sleep at night, there are people eavesdropping outside.I carefully recalled every word I said, guessing what accidents would be waiting for me after dawn. I spent the next day in fear that the eavesdroppers would tell me, but everything was calm. The calm situation shows two situations. One is that the eavesdroppers did not inform; Impossible without a whistleblower, I'm more inclined to the second scenario, and I have to be prepared to deal with it. Since the thieves can ask all kinds of questions when facing the police, if a lame wolf asks me about what happened last night, I will insist that I am not an undercover agent.Then, the remaining charge is to inquire about the situation of the boss. Anyway, I say that I am just out of curiosity, and I believe that the punishment brought by curiosity should not be too severe. After 24 hours passed, the leeches did not come back, the base camp was in a panic, and they had to prepare for the contingency.This group of rat-like thieves moved from the community to a dilapidated old residential building in the suburbs. That afternoon, the thieves did not go out on the street.The lame wolf said that it is an extraordinary period, and everyone should be careful not to leave any mistakes, "otherwise a mistake will cause eternal hatred." My partner changed again that day. The thief was a teenager with swollen eyeballs, as if he hadn’t woken up yet; It looks like a Peking Man; and the one who transfers the wallet is a quiet-looking man wearing glasses, who looks like a college student who just walked out of the classroom.However, I don't know who is watching me behind me. The four of us, each tens of meters apart, meandered towards the street.The thief came first, followed by the one who put up the shelf, followed by the one who transferred the money, and then me.I couldn't see the stalker behind me, maybe the stalker had already ambushed in advance on the street where we were working, maybe he was hiding in the crowd coming and going behind me. Passing by the edge of a small forest, I suddenly saw the thief peeing facing the forest, while in front of him were people who were setting up shelves and transferring money walking slowly.According to the regulations, after leaving the base camp, the people on the four lines have their respective responsibilities and cannot gather together, lest they be caught by the anti-pickup brigade.When I walked behind the thief, I saw the thief looking at me out of the corner of his eye. He whispered, "Are you really the police uncle?" Startled, I slowed down and looked at him out of the corner of my eye, not knowing how to answer.I can't guess what is the purpose of his asking me this sentence. The thieves call the policeman Leizi, and he is the policeman uncle. Was he sent by the boss to test me? I pretended not to hear, and continued to move forward.After he fastened his trousers, he trotted all the way and overtook me, the college students, and the Peking Man.He stopped a dozen meters in front of the Peking Man, pretended to look back unintentionally, and walked forward again. Later I learned that the young thief's name was Cricket.In the theft gang, the young thieves at the bottom are all named after a kind of small insects that feed on plants and trees, such as crickets; the next level is the little leader of the beggar gang. , each person is in charge of a small team, and their names are named after small animals, which are carnivorous animals, such as praying mantises.At a higher level, there are large carnivores like lame wolves. The cricket walked as far as I could see, across two streets, to where we did the burglary today.The cricket's pace slowed down, and he looked back from time to time, looking like a panicked rabbit. I kept thinking, why did the cricket ask me like that?Was he a spy sent by the boss, or did he hear other people's comments?Maybe the thief in the whole gang has been rumored, but I am the only one who is still in the dark, thinking that no one knows that I am an undercover agent.I'm like the ostrich being chased by the hunter. I buried my head in the sand nest, but exposed my fat buttocks, thinking that others couldn't see me. I thought about it, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Forget it, the unannounced visit is over here, and I should run away from here as soon as possible. However, how can we escape? Later, that sudden incident happened, no one thought of it.
