Chapter 23: TV obtained!

Sunday, the only day off for senior year.

At the entrance of the Changjing Road Police Station, on the road with cars coming and going, two people were squatting opposite.

Zhai Da: "Wu Yue, how am I to you?"

"Not very good, right?" Wu Yue's pants were a bit tight, and he couldn't squat down: "I feel like you've been a bit disgusted with me since you fainted."

"...That's not important, I have something for you to do now."

"Not doing it."

Zhai Da took a large bucket of iced black tea from his pocket as a reward for Wu Yue.

Wu Yue: "Say it, brother, what is it?"

Zhai Da pointed to the police station opposite: "Simple, you go in in a moment and help me get something."

Wu Yue twisted the iced black tea back.

A student, who isn't afraid of the police... that's not quite right either.

In Wu Yue's eyes, the police station was the kind of mysterious, dangerous, serious place that normal people absolutely didn't go to.

If it was rumored in school that someone had entered the police station, it was basically equivalent to someone being about to be locked in prison, even if they just borrowed the toilet to take a dump.

He hadn't even been in one since he was born.

"No way, what if someone sees me?"

Zhai Da was prepared. He took a baseball cap out of his backpack: "You wear this, pull it low, remember, it's best if even the police can't see what you look like."

Wu Yue's brain stem, which had been idle for many years, started to run: "No... what exactly are you going to do? Help you get what?"

Zhai Da: "Money."

Wu Yue was silent for a long time, then pressed Zhai Da's hand.

Looking at Zhai Da with burning eyes, Zhai Da had never seen such a serious expression on him.

"Zhai Da, you can't do this. I'd rather rob a bank than rob a police station. There isn't much money in the police station. How about this, let's plan from a long-term perspective. This baseball cap won't cover it, at least you need a mask."

Zhai Da was silent for a long time:

"Tell me quickly, are you watching too many American blockbusters and reciting lines here? Hurry! There's still time!"

Wu Yue's expression became clear and stupid again: "...Hmm, I am."

Zhai Da took back the iced black tea: "You talk too much, I feel you're not suitable for this job."

Wu Yue laughed cheaply and snatched the iced black tea back: "You're the boss, you say what to do!"

You don't say, the large bucket with ice, it's not common.

Rare goods!

Worried that Wu Yue had problems with comprehension, Zhai Da explained in great detail.

Including the general rules of reporting gambling to get rewards.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up: "There's this way to make money?!"

He felt his train of thought had opened up.

Zhai Da nodded: "It's for the whole society. Of course, this kind of lead isn't easy to find. I just happened to run into it by chance, and there's a certain risk."

Wu Yue's voice went up two octaves: "Things that make money, which one doesn't have risks? The greater the risk, the easier it is to make money!"

If gambling is okay, then others...

He knew there was a street behind his house with many little houses with red lights on every night!

"This kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous..."

Ten minutes later, Wu Yue, wearing a baseball cap, carrying an empty schoolbag, and holding the iced black tea, walked into the police station.

As for how much money he could get, Zhai Da didn't know either. He could only hope that the den wouldn't be too shabby, and that they wouldn't be unable to scrape together 70,000 yuan after being wiped out.

Zhai Da waited in the small supermarket opposite. Half an hour passed, and the other party didn't come out, and he gradually felt a bit anxious.

What's the situation with Wu Yue? Can't even a blockhead handle this?

Finally, just as he couldn't help but go in himself, Wu Yue finally came out.

Wu Yue seemed to be confused for a while before saying: "I got the money. An old policeman inside babbled a lot."

"You translate it."

"I've already forgotten."

Zhai Da: ...

Wu Yue handed a kraft paper envelope to Zhai Da:

"Basically, I reported that verification code, and then briefly described the reporting thing. The police uncle said the case hasn't been closed yet."

"And then?"

"I said my boss said this money must be collected today."

Zhai Da wiped his face hard...

It's really not easy that you came out alive...

"He said the cash gambling funds at the scene that night had already reached over 110,000. The reward for this bracket can be reported in advance, but it cannot exceed 5,000, otherwise the process is different."

Zhai Da nodded. 110,000 in gambling funds was not a small amount. There were only a dozen or so real gamblers inside, and an average of 10,000 yuan per person was far beyond the level a small gambling den in Dongyang County should have.

Fat sheep aren't around every day.

It was estimated that the three Japanese people contributed a lot.

The envelope was opened, and inside was 5,000 yuan. Over 100,000 is calculated at 5%, but this time only 5,000 was given.

The TV was there.

"The general meaning is that there are non-cash gambling funds behind the case, but it's very slow, and it's not certain if it can be collected. Let me come back and ask in a while... Oh right, he said there is a new verification code inside for next time, I didn't open it to look."

There was a slip of paper in the envelope with a string of new numbers on it. Zhai Da nodded, things went smoother than imagined.

He wasn't greedy, he could still have a lot left after buying the TV.

Zhai Da pulled one out and handed it to Wu Yue.

The errand fee was still necessary.

"Wu Yue, how am I to you?"

Wu Yue looked at the hundred-yuan banknote against the sun, smiling very sweetly: "Very good to me!"

"I have one more thing for you to do."

———

Hongqi Mall, a row of shops in the back where even dogs don't go. A young man who didn't look very smart rode a tricycle and shouted loudly: "Appliances to the countryside, trade in the old for the new... trade old TVs for new TVs, 29-inch big color TVs~"

His voice was super loud, and several people taking naps were woken up.

When passing by "Cangzhenxuan," the tricycle seemed to break down, and the TV on it was facing the shop entrance.

Even in 2008, 29 inches wasn't a big TV, but the packaging box was brand new, and it still looked quite sellable.

The young man squatted at the entrance, repaired the tricycle for a long time but couldn't fix it, instead getting his hands full of black oil. He simply didn't leave, holding a large bucket of iced black tea, sitting on the tricycle and continuing to shout.

The boss inside was being outputted at point-blank range, annoyed, and couldn't even watch his favorite "MVP Lover."

Shaking his fan, he walked out and cursed: "What are you shouting for! Go to the side!"

Wu Yue said: "Grandpa, trade in the old for the new, want to trade a TV?"

The old man glanced at the big box. It didn't look like a brand-name product, it was estimated to be a domestic knock-off TV.

"Go, go, don't bother me here."

Wu Yue scratched his head: "I want to go, but the chain fell off, I can't fix it and am waiting for a friend."

The old man could fix it himself, but why?

"Don't disturb me watching TV."

"Trade in the old for the new, want to take a look? Such a big TV is only 300."

The old man, who had already turned back, turned around again, shocked: "How much?"

"300."

"How can it be so cheap?"

Wu Yue recalled Zhai Da's instructions, word for word:

"A factory in the south went bankrupt, the person in charge ran away with his sister-in-law! Our boss went there and pulled back a lot of TVs, but they didn't sell and were stuck in his hands. Originally they sold for 2,000, but the boss couldn't wait, so he wanted to dump them to get back the funds and switch to selling phones later."

"But everything is good, if you don't believe me, I can install it for you to try."

The old man looked at the big box, somewhat tempted...

A 300-yuan TV, as long as the screen could light up, there wouldn't be any problems, not to mention it was 29 inches...

The old man hesitated: "Open it and let me see."

"It's very troublesome to open it and install it back..."

"I'll fix the tricycle chain for you."

Wu Yue sighed and said reluctantly: "Fine." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
