Tiger Police

Chapter 534 The Missing Banknote

Hu Pingtao is usually not very aggressive.

But in such a chaotic scene, you can't be more aggressive, you can't control the scene, and no one will listen to your words.

The man with eyes was frightened, opened his mouth, swallowed the words abruptly, then honestly took out his ID card, and handed it to Hu Pingtao with a depressed face.

Tao Jingxuan is 27 years old.

A young woman of similar age stood beside him, put her arms around his arm, and asked timidly, "Officer, do you want to see my ID card too?"

Hu Pingtao registered, returned his ID card to Tao Jingxuan, glanced at the young woman, and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

The girl said: "Is he my boyfriend?"

Hu Pingtao asked: "When the incident happened, were you two together?"

The girl nodded.

Hu Pingtao said: "Then you have to register too. Give me your ID card."

Her name is Liu Yu, she is 25 years old.

Hu Pingtao turned around and said to the man in the jacket: "It's the same for you, show me your ID card."

The man quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on the page: "I didn't bring it with me, but I took a photo for backup. Can you take a look?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Alright."

His name is Wang Jianming and he is 32 years old.

After completing the registration in sequence, Hu Pingtao looked at the parties involved separately and asked, "Let's talk now! Why are you arguing?"

He raised his finger to Wang Jianming: "You talk first."

Wang Jianming said: "Today, my colleague and I made an appointment to watch a movie together. When we entered the venue, there were still seven or eight minutes before the screening. As soon as we sat down, my colleague saw a wallet under the seat in front of me. So I picked it up. I got up, opened it and looked at it, and found that there was an ID card and a driver's license, two bank cards, and some banknotes inside."

Hu Pingtao asked: "How much money is there?"

Wang Jianming smiled wryly: "Cinemas usually start ticket checking 10 minutes in advance, and sometimes the ticket checking time is shorter, only three or five minutes. Although we entered the venue early, there were already advertisements on the screen. I only I saw that there seemed to be four or five 5-yuan bills, and some small change. I don’t know the exact number, but it’s probably about 100 yuan in total!”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "What happened next?"

Wang Jianming continued: "Our idea is very simple. The person who lost the wallet will definitely come back to look for it. It is probably the audience who watched the last game. Anyway, we will watch this game and wait. If the owner does not come, we will wait until after watching it." Give the wallet to the cinema staff and let them handle it."

"Then the movie started. About 40 minutes later! The waiter brought two people, here, it's them, a man and a woman came in. The waiter shined a flashlight on the chairs in front of us. Looking for something. Seeing this posture, I asked: Did you drop something?"

"Then the man yelled, saying that his girlfriend's wallet was missing. They were sitting in this position before. I didn't think much about it, so I took out the wallet and said, can you see if this is it?"

"Although the light in the movie theater was dim, the woman had good eyesight. She snatched it away and stared at me when it was over... I was quite surprised, because according to my thinking, I picked up the wallet and returned it to them. You should at least say "thank you" to me!"

"But I thought about it a lot, and I never dreamed that the man would come and pull my clothes and say he wanted me to get up. I couldn't understand what I heard, so I asked him what was wrong? He didn't explain it, just said Tell me to go out with him, go out and make things clear, and don't get in the way of other people in the movie theater."

Speaking of this, Wang Jianming's colleague also interjected indignantly: "We were watching the movie in a good manner, and we were suddenly disturbed like this. Even I felt very strange. You said you lost your wallet, and we picked it up and returned it to you with good intentions." Why do you still speak in that aggressive tone? It feels like we owe him."

After hearing this, Hu Pingtao also found it strange, and asked, "Why did he let you out?"

Wang Jianming was very annoyed, and glared at the young man wearing glasses standing opposite him: "He said he had 2000 yuan in his wallet, and now there are only [-] yuan left. Looking at it this way, I must have taken the money and asked me to hand it over." come out."

"Damn it, I was stunned at the time. What kind of thing is this! I really met a dog when I went out! I was angry at the time, saying that you lost your wallet and you are justified? Why did you blackmail me?"

"And her, this woman is not a good person." Wang Jianming raised his finger and pointed at Liu Yu standing next to Tao Jingxuan, glaring at each other: "This matter is largely related to her—the wallet belongs to her, I picked it up." When we arrived, we opened it and looked at the documents inside."

Liu Yu is young, but has a big temper.Hearing Wang Jianming say this about herself, Liu Yu exploded on the spot, pointing at Wang Jianming and yelling: "It's reasonable for you to steal my money, isn't it?" It is to return the wallet to me, but where is my money? There are more than 2000 in my bag, and it was swallowed by a mad dog?"

Wang Jianming was also angry: "Who are you scolding?"

Not to be outdone, Liu Yu said, "I'll scold you, you shameless thief!"

"Paralyzed, I will beat you to death today!" Wang Jianming's face was flushed with blood, and he rushed towards him like an enraged beast. Fortunately, his colleague had a sharp eye and quickly hugged him by the waist.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao yelled again and separated the people on both sides.

"Give me peace."

He turned to Wang Jianming and said coldly: "You want to fight, right? Then don't talk about anything, just get into the game."

The blue blood vessels on both sides of Wang Jianming's forehead protruded high, his chest heaved violently, and his face was full of uncontrollable anger: "Police officers...they... are too bullying!"

His colleague also said indignantly: "Yes! We picked up the wallet and returned it to them with good intentions, and we still say such things."

Hu Pingtao saw that the two of them didn't seem to be pretending deliberately, so he comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, wait until I figure things out."

He then turned to Liu Yu: "Take out your wallet and show me."

Liu Yu clutched her satchel subconsciously: "What are you doing? This is my wallet."

Hu Pingtao stared at her and asked, "Which one of you called the police?"

Unexpectedly, the on-duty manager of the movie theater who was standing beside him without saying a word hastily raised his hand: "I reported it, and I dialed [-]."

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised, and turned to this side: "They were arguing, why did you call the police?"

The manager on duty said frankly: "They made a fuss in the movie theater, and other audiences couldn't watch it. I rushed over after receiving a call from the staff, and called a few security guards, and then half persuaded and half pulled them away from the venue. Get it out."

Hu Pingtao thought for a while, and asked: "A movie was playing at the time, and the two of them could go in. Was it your service staff who brought it?"

"Yes." The manager on duty nodded and asked, "Officer, do you want me to call the person who brought them in?"

Hu Pingtao gave a "hmm" and said, "Of course I have to call."

The manager on duty here called someone, and Hu Pingtao took this opportunity to turn to Liu Yu, still asking the same question as before: "Take out your wallet and show me."

Although very reluctant, Liu Yu could only open the satchel and take out the wallet.

It was a bright silver women's wallet with a striking "LV" combination pattern inlaid on the metal buckle, but with Hu Pingtao's vision and experience, it was not difficult to see that this was a fake.

There is a certificate in the wallet, compared to Liu Yu, it is indeed her.

Hu Pingtao returned the wallet to Liu Yu, and said seriously: "You should think about it carefully, how much money is in the wallet?"

Liu Yu opened her mouth and answered without thinking: "I remember very clearly that it was more than 2000. It seemed to be two thousand two thousand or two thousand three. I checked it when I went out today. I just took 3000 yuan from the bank yesterday. In the bag. Yesterday I bought a piece of clothing and some snacks, and the total cost was less than 1000 yuan."

Looking at it from the side, Long Xu felt that this matter was unreasonable, so he walked over, looked at Liu Yu suspiciously, and asked, "When I returned the wallet to you, wouldn't there be money in it?"

Tao Jingxuan felt that both Hu Pingtao and Long Xu were targeting his girlfriend. He stood up, pointed at Wang Jianming, and shouted unhappily: "Are you trying to cover him up on purpose? Obviously he took the money in the bag. How could it be justified for him to mess around?"

Long Xu frowned and asked, "If it were you, if you found the wallet, would you take part of the money and return the wallet to the owner?"

Tao Jingxuan's voice was loud, and it was taken for granted: "Yes! I will definitely! I will take more than half of the more than 2000 yuan, keep some in my bag, and then return it to the owner. To a foolish and brainless person, maybe he will be happy to send him a pennant."

Wang Jianming was enraged again: "Your dog can't spit out ivory. Let me tell you, even if the police are here today, they can't stop me. I must beat you to death!"

Seeing this, Long Xu hurried over to dissuade him.

Hu Pingtao concentrated on thinking.

This thing feels weird.

It is a good thing to find a wallet and return it to the owner.

But Liu Yu insisted that there was less money in the wallet.

Hu Pingtao has encountered similar situations before.If you use the old method to solve the case, it is easy-in a word, since the money in the wallet does not match the number, it means that it is not your wallet.

But the problem now is that there is Liu Yu's ID in the wallet, which proves that the bag is hers.

Could it be that Wang Jianming stole the money in the bag, and then pretended to pick up the money?
Just at this time the manager on duty came into the office with a waitress.

"Officer, this is Zhang Xiaoru, she is in charge of ticket checking today."

Hu Pingtao walked up to Zhang Xiaoru with a gentle voice: "Please tell me about the situation at that time."

Zhang Xiaoru is a slightly fat middle-aged woman.She pointed at Tao Jingxuan and Liu Yunu: "I was at the ticket gate today, because the movie had already started, so I sat there to rest. Then they came, in a hurry, and said that the wallet was left in the movie theater, let me I let them go in and look for it. I saw that they had ticket stubs, and I checked the time, and it was indeed the last game, so I took them in."

"The seats on the ticket are No. [-] and No. [-] in the seventh row. After I went in, I gave them a flashlight, and the gentleman (Wang Jianming) in the back row asked if he was looking for a wallet? Then he said he picked it up and returned it to them. "

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who took the bag at that time?"

Zhang Xiaoru raised her finger to Tao Jingxuan: "He took it."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "He took the bag and handed it to his girlfriend?"

Zhang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be! I don't remember clearly. A movie was playing at the time, and my back was facing the screen, so I didn't think much about it... Anyway, I can't remember."

Hu Pingtao looked down at the ground, lost in thought.

Liu Yu was impatient, and kept yelling: "What else is there to say, that is, he took the money in my bag and pretended to be a good guy... Are you still a man like you?"

Before Wang Jianming could get angry, Hu Pingtao suddenly raised his head and yelled at Liu Yu, "Why are you arguing? You are so loud because you are so loud? If you talk nonsense, get the hell out of here!"

He really hated people like Liu Yu.Twittering like a chicken mother-in-law, this is the case now, and it will still be the same when I get old.

Liu Yu was frightened by his ferocious appearance, opened her mouth, and stood there blankly.

After a few seconds, Hu Pingtao frowned and stared at her, and asked, "Think about it, how much money is in the bag?"

Liu Yu didn't dare to raise his voice, and replied pitifully, "I really can't remember. Anyway, it's more than 2000."

Hu Pingtao's eyes were sharp, and he didn't intend to let her go just like this: "More than 2000? How much is it? You don't even know about your own money? Anyway, no one is allowed to leave until today's matter is clear. You have to think about it for me." Understood."

"Didn't you say that you took 3000 yuan from the bank? You also bought clothes and snacks. Just think about it quietly, then look at the remaining change in your bag, reconcile the accounts, and add up the numbers. "

Some things only work if you force them to do them.

The same is true for Liu Yu.

Despite the reluctance on her face, she must honestly follow Hu Pingtao's request and calm down to think.

"It seems... It seems to be two thousand and four." She was not sure about it: "There are more than 60 yuan in change in the bag, which was there before, and it is not within 3000 yuan."

Hu Pingtao looked indifferent: "Are you sure it's two thousand four?"

Liu Yu thought for a while, then nodded: "Anyway, it's either two thousand four, or two thousand three."

Hu Pingtao pointed at Wang Jianming and asked, "When he gave you the wallet, how much money was in it?"

Liu Yu replied: "There are five hundred ones. The rest are small change."

"That is to say, if he took your money, it should be [-], or [-]?" Hu Pingtao asked.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Hu Pingtao turned to Wang Jianming and asked the colleague standing beside him: "You were there when you found the wallet. Did you see him take the money from the wallet?"

The colleague shook his head: "No. Let me be fair! Old Wang is not short of money. He is the middle manager of our company. We have an annual salary system. His annual income is more than 50. How can he do such a thing?"
