The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 238 Disgusting the Real

As soon as Director Pang left, an older salesman at the scene stood up.

The uncle looked at the messy scene and immediately let go of his voice and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, don't be stuck here. It's not fun anymore. Go back and line up."

"If you want to buy something, hurry up and get back in line. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be his turn later, and I won't sell anything to him. Hurry up!"

After all, the salesman uncle is very powerful, this yelling has an immediate effect.

These melon-eaters who watched the excitement were also worried that the salesperson would not be able to buy things for a while, so they hurriedly returned to their respective positions and went back to line up again.

"The salesperson is going crazy, hurry up, hurry up, get in line."

"It's not exciting to watch, let's all go back and line up."

"Hey, this is my position, why are you jumping in line?"

"Where is your position, hurry up and queue up at the back, the salesman will stare at you in a while, you just wait for bad luck."

"."

Soon, under the comfort and guidance of the sales staff, order was restored in the business hall.

Seeing this, Li Weiguo had no choice but to follow back to the middle of the line and lined up with Yuyu.

Back in the queue, Yuyu, who was standing at the front, turned around and asked worriedly: "Brother Wei Guo, will Brother Can be in trouble if he receives a fake ticket?"

Li Weiguo thought about it for a while and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Don't worry." After saying that, Li Weiguo patted the little girl's shoulder to reassure her.

When something like this happens, the punishment is not particularly severe. It usually involves a small pay penalty and then being scolded by the leader.

Of course, it is also possible to be credited, which will affect your resume and promotion.

But it's useless to worry now. Li Weiguo is not an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if he wants to help, he can't help, so he can only watch and wait for Zhou Can to come out.

The business hall that had restored order continued to sell goods, but it was obvious that the team was moving much slower.

When it comes to counterfeit bills, the salesperson at the counter is a lot more cautious. After receiving the money, they will carefully screen it again and again, and only give it to the customer after confirming that it is correct, so the efficiency of selling goods has dropped.

After waiting in line for almost half an hour, the dozen or so people in front of them had finally left, and it was finally Li Weiguo's turn.

"Chief Li, what would you like to order?" the salesperson greeted with a smile.

"Excuse me, please help me get half a catty of candied fruits, two ounces of hawthorns, three ounces of twists and pig ears, and two more cans of canned yellow peaches."

After all, Li Weiguo took out the money ticket from his pocket, counted out the corresponding amount, and handed it over.

"Hey, okay, just wait a moment."

The salesperson politely took the money ticket, checked it carefully, and put it in the drawer after confirming that the money ticket was correct, and then turned to get something from the shelf.

It didn't take long, everything was packed, all the snacks were wrapped in oiled paper, and a net bag was put on the outside.

"Section Chief Li, your things."

"Okay, thank you buddy, tell Zhou Can for me later, just say that I'm outside." Li Weiguo took the things and passed him another cigarette.

"Hey, okay, don't worry, I'll call him for you when he comes out soon." The salesperson took the cigarette with both hands and nodded happily.

After buying the things, Li Weiguo didn't want to crowd in the hall, so he headed outside with the rain. Zhou Can's matter didn't know how long it would take to end, so he just waited outside.

They found a quiet place outside and sat and waited for a while. Not long after, they saw the salesperson who had just left to report the crime come back with three police officers.

Li Weiguo took a closer look, hey, the person coming here is still an acquaintance.

The leader was Guan Daosi, the director of Jiaodaokou Police Station. Following him were Xiang Hongjun and another unknown policeman.

Li Weiguo didn't even come up to say hello. They were busy handling the case now, so it wouldn't be good to interfere with them. It was better to wait until the investigation was over.

Because it involved counterfeit bills, the nature of the case was rather serious. When the three police officers arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they followed the salesperson straight to the office behind the business hall without talking nonsense.

After about half an hour, Director Guan, Director Pang, Zhou Can and others came out of the office. It seemed that they had learned about the specific case.

After coming out, Director Guan and the three of them went to the business hall to observe again, chatted briefly with the salesmen on duty, got to know the situation, and made sure there were no more clues before preparing to leave.

After Director Pang sent Director Guan and Li Hongjun out of the door, Li Weiguo walked over to say hello at the right time.

"Closer, Red Army."

"Hey, Wei Guo."

"Chief Li."×2
Director Guan, Xiang Hongjun and others discovered that it was Li Weiguo and greeted him warmly.

Walking closer, Li Weiguo took out the peonies Cao Demao gave him last time and scattered one each in a familiar manner.

Guan Daosi took the cigarette, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, Weiguo, the peonies are all smoked. Chief Li, I insist on getting it." After that, Guan Daosi took the cigarette in his mouth and happily struck a match and lit it.

This cigarette is not often smoked. Given his level, only one pack of Class A cigarettes such as Peony and Phoenix can be supplied a month. At other times, he mostly smokes Class B cigarettes at Daqianmen or Class C cigarettes at Daxuan and Daxian. He always saves up roosters and Class A cigarettes to entertain his bosses, and is reluctant to smoke them easily.

"Ouguansuo, please don't bury me. I don't dare to be called the chief of the department." Li Weiguo waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Why don't you dare? I heard about the case of arresting Fruit Party agents last time. It was great." Guan Daosi smiled and gave him a thumbs up to express his appreciation.

The Jiaodaokou Police Station is in charge of part of the employee community of the steel rolling mill, and has certain business overlap with the Security Section. Sometimes cases cannot bypass their police station. Everyone often collaborates on cases and shares the credit together, so Guan Daosi is very happy to fight with Li Weiguo and the others. Sociable.

Several people complimented each other and chatted for a while, and then Li Weiguo promptly talked about the counterfeit bills.

"Customs office, what's the status of the counterfeit bill case today? Is it serious?"

"Judging from the current situation, it is quite serious. The supply and marketing cooperative received more than 30 counterfeit bills this morning. What, do you have any clues?"

Guan Daosi was curious. He knew about Li Weiguo's ability to solve crimes, so he asked casually.

Li Weiguo shook his head: "Not yet. I only found out when I came here to buy something. Zhou Can, the salesperson who received the fake tickets, is my childhood friend, so I asked about the situation and asked if it was serious."

Hearing what he said, Director Guan understood: "Oh salesman Zhou Can, that's fine, it doesn't matter if I tell you about the situation."

Then, Director Guan and Xiang Hongjun told Li Weiguo the whole story.

It turns out that Zhou Can and two female saleswomen were in charge of the non-staple food counter today. Because they were busy, they didn't pay attention to look carefully and accidentally collected a lot of fake tickets.

And I received a lot of them, including candy tickets, canned tickets, bean tickets, fermented bean curd tickets, fan tickets, etc., there were more than 20 tickets in total, and the total value of the goods was more than [-] yuan.

Because every weekend is the peak sales period, the business hall is bustling with people. I don’t know how many customers have been received in the morning, and the sales assistants are also very busy.

Generally, when a salesperson receives a customer's money, he or she simply glances at it, confirms that the amount, style, and pattern are correct, then puts it away, and then gets something for the customer, without thinking that anyone will use counterfeit money for consumption.

But who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to make counterfeit tickets and make them very realistic.

Except for the slight differences in size and specifications between the counterfeit bills and the standard-cut genuine bills, other aspects such as paper material, ink tone, pattern font, etc. are very similar and almost identical.

If you don't screen carefully, it can basically be fake.

From morning to now, Zhou Can and the three salesmen in charge of the non-staple food counter had no idea how many customers they had received and how much money they had handled, but they didn't notice anything unusual at all.

If the accountant hadn't taken a few more careful glances later when he was collecting the money votes, he might not have been able to spot it.

Now, things are sold, but more than [-] tickets are fake. I don’t know who got the tickets, and I’m not sure which salesperson collected them. The source cannot be traced at all.
