- Chapter 24 - The Money Scammed Vanished
Upon waking up and recalling what had happened, his first reaction was to run away.
They would know he was an imposter if they found Ding Kun’s family.
He had no identity; he was a rat that couldn’t see the light of day, forced to hide in the dark, damp sewers.
Su Xiaoxiao’s words revealed his predicament.
“I have no name.” A bitter smile appeared on the insect’s face, but a sense of relief welled up inside him.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yu were taken aback for a moment, and Wan Yan understood, “So how do you usually address each other?”
“We use numbers, and I am number one.”
“Shiyi, let’s call you that then. Who’s supporting you all? And who let you impersonate Xiang Nan and swindle people?” Xiao Yu didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
Shi Yi frowned, her expression showing great distress.
Su Xiaoxiao spoke up, “Shiyi, no matter who’s behind you, you’ve been arrested by the police. They’ll find out soon. Even if you don’t say anything, do you think they’ll let you go?!”
We know that you are only involved in fraud, which is not a capital offense.
If you want to live, the best way is to cooperate with the police; only the police have the ability to guarantee your safety.
Furthermore, Shiyi, do you want to forever remain a worm that cannot see the light of day? Don’t you want to have your own identity, your own name?
He wanted a name that belonged to him, of course he wanted it, he dreamed of it.
He found it laughable every time he held someone else’s ID card. Everyone has an ID card, yet it’s something they can only dream of.
He once thought about what should be engraved on his tombstone if he died one day. Others had their names, but his would have Arabic numerals. How ridiculous.
These insects are a joke just to be alive.
“Can I really have my own name, my own identity?” Shi Yi looked at them, her eyes filled with longing.
“Yes, as long as you cooperate with the police, we will definitely give you an identity that belongs to you,” Wan Yan assured him.
“Okay, I’ll cooperate with you.” In truth, he knew that even being locked up in jail by the police was safer than being outside, and he was truly exhausted.
They were raised by someone, and they had a boss above them. However, the person who assigned him to impersonate Xiang Nan and swindle people was Xiang Zhiyu. He came with the boss and didn’t know his name at first, but he found out when he went out to carry out the mission.
Because the person he was impersonating, Xiang Nan, was his younger brother, he recognized him when he looked at the information.
He impersonated Xiang Nan and fooled three people in total; the one in the capital was the third.
Because he messed up in the capital and left fingerprints, his superiors told him to stay put for the time being, so he hid in this small town.
Wang Jue doesn’t count; he lied to Wang Jue because he was just itching to do it.
As for where the others are, he doesn’t know. They will all leave when they grow up, each accepting missions on their own, and are not allowed to contact each other. They also don’t know the identities they use unless they need to cooperate.
However, so far, he has not received any tasks that require cooperation.
“If you met them, would you still recognize them?” Xiao Yu asked.
“No, I only know them as they were before, no one knows what they are like now.”
Shi Yi smiled bitterly; he couldn’t even remember what he looked like anymore.
“When you impersonate Xiang Nan to commit fraud, how do you choose your targets? Are they given to you, or can you choose them yourself?”
“I chose it myself; they didn’t make any strict requirements.”
“How did you choose?” Su Xiaoxiao asked, as she was quite curious about this.
“I know it’s wrong to lie, so when I was choosing girls, I didn’t look for those with clean backgrounds. I looked for girls who were greedy or had done bad things.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought of how he had previously deceived Tian Jiajia, helped others harm her classmate, and that female student in the capital who pretended to be a rich woman online. Now, this Wang Jue, dating two men at the same time, wasn’t exactly a good person either.
Shi Yi didn’t lie, so he still has some conscience.
“Are you really willing to be controlled by these people?”
“I’m not reconciled.” Shi shook his head. “But there’s nothing we can do. They have all sorts of ways to kill us. If we don’t obey, we’ll die.”
After listening to Shi Yi’s account, Xiao Yu went out and made a phone call. He needed to discuss with the captain whether or not to take Shi Yi back to the capital.
Su Xiaoxiao also felt it would be better to take him back, since the information he provided involved Xiang Zhiyu, who was currently in the capital.
Moreover, if the news leaks out after Shi Yi wakes up, I’m afraid our safety here won’t be guaranteed.
“Oh, right.” Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something she had overlooked while busy with other things, “Where did you put the money you swindled from Wang Jue?”
“I left it in the hotel room. I originally planned to watch a movie with Wang Jue and then leave the next day, telling her that I was going to discuss business and would be back in a few days. I just didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
Where should I put it in the room?
“It was in the closet in the room, in a leather suitcase. Wang Jue didn’t have much money. The money from selling the house, plus her savings, totaled only 800,000 yuan.”
At this moment, Qin Guan had already woken up, and Xia was beside him. He touched the bump on his head, feeling like he was about to collapse.
What happened? He was knocked unconscious for two days in a row. The first time, it was Su Xiaoxiao who knocked him unconscious, which was understandable since she was a police officer. But this time, he was knocked unconscious by a patient.
Xia comforted him from the side.
Su Xiaoxiao came out of her room to make a phone call and heard Xia say something like, “Don’t be afraid of losing face. You’ll get used to it after a while.”
She almost burst out laughing and quickly moved to the side.
The call was to Ye Jiuzhou. She had been feeling that she had overlooked something, and only remembered it after she finished interrogating Shiyi.
They all believed that Shi Yi had taken the money, but they didn’t know where he had put it.
I never imagined that he hadn’t taken the money at all; he had just left it in the room.
However, the police had searched the room, and the search record did not mention any money. It couldn’t be that the police had pocketed it, could it? Su Xiaoxiao felt that they couldn’t possibly have such audacity.
She called Ye Jiuzhou to confirm this matter.
Ye Jiuzhou said there was definitely no money in the room; he led the search and he could guarantee it.
So the question is, who took the money?!
Su Xiaoxiao and Wan Yan discussed it and decided that Xiao Yu would stay in the ward, as the ward couldn’t be left unattended.
They went directly to the Regal Hotel to check the surveillance footage.
Shi Yi said that when he and Wang Jue went to see a movie, the money was still in the room, which means that someone entered the room and took the money after he went to see the movie but before the police searched the room.
This raises many possibilities; it could be hotel staff, or someone who knows there’s money in the room.
When the hotel manager saw the police arrive again, he quickly ran over. They hadn’t touched the room yet because the police had instructed them to notify them only when they were allowed to move it, so the room was perfectly preserved and even the cleaning staff hadn’t gone in.
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved, and it turned out that a section of the seemingly intact video had been replaced
