When he got to the car, the young man took out all the crumpled 500 yuan in change.

Don't even ask, just explain honestly.

"My five counterfeit banknotes were my salary from my last boss. I saved them for a long time before I found out that they were fake. I was very angry at the time, and I did something bad for a while. I knew what I did was wrong, so I thought Apologize to Grandpa and return the money to him."

Zuo Yuan, who had been preaching in one voice, was immediately blocked by these words.

Tang Nian couldn't hold back his temper. Seeing that Zuo Yuan didn't speak, he said directly, "What are you talking about now? Why did you go early? You were deceived and you went to the police. The police will help you find justice. You just went to an old man to lie to you." .”

Tang Nian's veins throbbed with anger, "Did you know that the old man almost committed suicide because of the money? You can still play games in the Internet cafe, it's warm."

"Do you know where the old man was when we found him? He was sleeping on a paper shell under the overpass! Just because the 500 yuan you cheated was almost a year's living expenses for him and his wife!"

"He wanted to lighten his son's burden by selling vegetables! It took him a long time to save up to 500 yuan! You..."

Tang Nian couldn't continue, and finally punched the cushion hard and turned his head away.

"His son doesn't want anything else, but he wants an apology from you. It's better if you have more money. I'll take you to return the money to the old man quickly at dawn."

The young man sat on the back seat and nodded heavily. Shen Qiu watched him squeeze the money tightly, his fingertips turned white.

Sighing and shaking his head.

Maybe this young man is not a bad person, maybe he really did something bad in a flash.

But no matter whether he had just thought about it or planned it, if he did something wrong, he did it wrong.

If the old man hadn't figured it out by himself, then at this time...

Shen Qiu shook his feathers and stopped thinking about it.

When I got back to the police station, I made a statement first, and learned that the person who gave the counterfeit money was the owner of a barber shop on South Street.

"Was anyone else around when I gave you the money?"

The young man’s name was Zhou Wei, and he shook his head, “He called me into the room alone to distribute the bills. I’ve asked other people, and they only gave me counterfeit bills.”

Zuo Yuan asked again, from Zhou Wei's narrative.

He worked as an apprentice in that barber shop for two months, and he agreed in advance to pay [-] yuan a month.But after two months, not only did not give any points, the boss also used various reasons to delay.

Zhou Wei threatened to call the police to tarnish his store's reputation, and the boss gave the money.

But I didn't expect half of the thousand to be fake.

From his narration, the boss gave him fake money mixed with real money because of his threat.

But the specifics need to be investigated further.

At dawn, Zuo Yuan counted the time and brought Zhou Wei to the door.

It just so happened that the old man's family was there.

The man opened the door, and when he saw the policeman and Zhou Wei behind him, he immediately understood, his face became a little ugly, and he moved away.

The old man was packing the vegetables in the foam box in the yard.

Foam boxes almost filled the entire small yard, and there were cartons of mineral water bottles picked up from outside in the corner of the yard.

The stool by the wall is not willing to throw away even if a leg is broken.

This is a typical Jiangshi style old house.

In bungalows, every household has a small yard similar to a patio. There is no toilet or kitchen, and you need to go to the public toilet at the back to go to the toilet.

Cooking can be done by plugging in the induction cooker in one place at will.

This is a very poor family that can be seen at first glance.

However, despite being poor, the old man took good care of it. The foam boxes for growing vegetables were neatly placed on the other side, and the waste products picked up were piled up as much as possible and packed in bags.

Seeing the police, the old man wiped the water off his hands and came over to thank him.

"Thank you for finding me last night, otherwise my old life might not be guaranteed."

Without waiting for Zuo Yuan to speak, Shen Qiu flapped his wings beside him, emphatically saying in that electronic voice with a sense of comedy, "No thanks, no thanks~ Serving the people is the mission of our police!"

Zuo Yuan shut up and glanced at the big parrot.

The old man had been in a low mood yesterday, and it was late, so he hadn't paid much attention to the parrot. Seeing that the parrot was eloquent, he immediately laughed.

"This parrot speaks really well and has beautiful feathers."

The big parrot puffed out its chest proudly, "That's right! Who told me to be a police bird! I'm better than other parrots!"

Seeing the old man being amused by the parrot, the man heaved a sigh of relief and asked the police.

"Comrade policeman is here today..."

Tang Nian pushed Zhou Wei up.

"This is Zhou Wei, the young man who cheated the old man of money two days ago, and he came here to apologize to the old man."

Zhou Wei froze, then lowered his head and took out the 500 yuan change, handed it over with both hands, and bowed to the old man.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry! I was fooled by lard and lied to you! I'm really sorry!"

"I've never used your money. It's all here. Take some money."

The man was a little annoyed, and whispered next to him, "It's useless and you still haven't returned it! Do you know that my dad was almost killed by you!"

Zhou Wei pressed his head even lower, "I won't defend myself, I did something wrong, so from now on, no matter what your family has, you can come to me! I will help if I can!"

The man is not a strong character either, he was speechless immediately after hearing this.

The old man didn't speak, and took the money from Zhou Wei's hand. Ten yuan and 20 yuan, and five yuan and one piece of crumpled change were quite impressive.

The old man sorted out the crumpled coins, held them tightly for a long time, then took out 20 yuan and stuffed them into Zhou Wei's hand.

"I think you are a well-behaved child. Don't look at my age, but I can see people accurately. I know you must have something difficult, otherwise you wouldn't do such a thing."

"My family's situation is not good, and there are not many. This 20 yuan may not help you, but it will allow you to have a full meal when you are in trouble."

Zhou Wei raised his head abruptly, looked at the old man in astonishment, then bowed heavily to the old man, put the money into the old man's hand, turned and ran away.

Tang Nian didn't react for a while.

Shen Qiu hurriedly followed, but Zhou Wei didn't run far, he ran out of the alleyway and started to pant while propping up his knees.

After a few seconds, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"What a beast I am!"

Shen Qiu was very surprised, seeing that Zhou Wei was about to hit him, he hurried up and stepped on his head.

"What's the matter with you beating yourself here? If you really want to blame yourself, take practical actions."

Zhou Wei almost knocked the thing off his head with a slap, but when he heard Shen Qiu's voice, he froze and nodded quickly.

"you're right."

Shen Qiu looked at the top of his head, Zhou Wei did not give him the feeling that he was a bad boy, Shen Qiu was a little curious.

"What are you saving your money for?"

Shen Qiu felt Zhou Wei's body paused, and quickly said in a nonchalant tone, "Registration fee."

registery fee?Shen Qiu was a little surprised.

"Application fee for studying?"

"Cook school."

"Then your parents are not responsible?"

When Shen Qiu asked this sentence, he felt that Zhou Wei's voice was a little cold.

"No parents."

Hearing the coldness in his tone, Shen Qiu felt that it was impossible for him to have no parents, and there must be some conflict with his family.

So after Zuo Yuan and the others came out, they whispered about Zhou Wei's situation next week.

Zhou Wei went back to the office with them because he still wanted to investigate the counterfeit money.

After returning home, Zuo Yuan first checked Zhou Wei's family situation, and found that both his parents had criminal records.

His father, Zhou, was sentenced to life for drug trafficking, and his mother, Xing, is currently under compulsory drug control at the Narcotics Control Center because of drug abuse.

Shen Qiu looked at the record and thought of Zhou Wei's coldness when he mentioned his parents, so he sighed.

Zuo Yuan rubbed his brows, "Let's check that barber shop first, five counterfeit banknotes are not too many but not too few, where can an ordinary person get so many counterfeit banknotes."

And this counterfeit banknote looks very real, at least it is difficult for them to distinguish it with the naked eye.

Such real counterfeit money...

Their intuition as policemen told them that there might be something wrong with the barber shop owner who could produce counterfeit banknotes.

With Zhou Wei leading them, they quickly went to the barber shop to understand the situation.

Seeing Zhou Wei, the boss's face dropped instantly, looking very unwelcome to him.

But then he saw the policeman behind him, his eyes flustered, and he greeted the barber in the shop.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to go out, you look at the store."

After finishing speaking, we must walk from the back.

"stop!"

Zuo Yuan walked over quickly, but it turned out that the boss was probably really guilty. Hearing Zuo Yuan calling him, he hurriedly ran out.

Zuo Yuan rushed forward and held him down.

The boss yelled in pain, "Comrade police, please be gentle, it hurts!"

Zuo Yuanqi didn't say anything, "Then why are you running!"

The boss is very innocent, "Isn't this why you want to chase me, whoever sees the police chasing me can't run away."

Shen Qiu rolled his eyes at the side, "You are not guilty, why are you running?"

The boss glared at the parrot, "You bastard, what are you talking about!"

The angry Shen Qiu almost didn't rush forward to chatter, but was stopped by Zuo Yuan, "Go back to the institute first."

Taking him back to the police station, the boss refused to admit that he had given Zhou Wei counterfeit banknotes at first, taking his shamelessness to the extreme.

Until Zuo Yuan told him solemnly that fingerprints can be detected on banknotes.

The boss was a little panicked, and finally cried and told the police that he bought the counterfeit banknotes for fun, and wanted to retaliate against Zhou Wei because he was angry with Zhou Wei for threatening him.

"Really? I bought it for fun, so let me ask you how much you bought? How much is left?!"

The boss suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Tang Nian took people to the boss's house and found the counterfeit banknotes hidden under the mattress, a total of [-], and according to the boss himself, [-] had been spent.

As for the method of purchase, the boss gave the police a WeChat number, and he contacted the other party through WeChat to buy counterfeit banknotes.

The next thing has nothing to do with their police station, which reported the matter to the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau, and the people from the Economic Investigation Brigade will take over the tracing of the source of counterfeit banknotes.

When Shen Qiu heard the result of this matter again, it was already two months later.

The economic investigation team destroyed a den of counterfeit banknotes and harvested millions of counterfeit banknotes.

The boss will be sentenced to a fine of less than three years or criminal detention because the amount of counterfeit banknotes purchased exceeds 4000 yuan and is less than 5 yuan, which is a relatively large amount.

A further fine of not less than 1 yuan but not more than 10 yuan shall be imposed.

Zhou Wei also got back his 500 yuan, but in the end he did not choose to be a chef.

The last time Shen Qiu saw Zhou Wei, he said that his childhood dream was to be a soldier, but because he failed to join a good family, his dream was finally shattered.

Zhou Wei went to the capital.

Every month in the future, he would find someone to bring money back to the old man's family. At first it was one hundred, and later it was five hundred.

I don't know if he is out of guilt for the old man, or something else.

Shen Qiu recently discovered that something was wrong between Zuo Yuan and Tang Nian.
