Chapter 1461: Unlucky Tramp
Under the leadership of Hongda, they arrived in front of a small shop near the park.
This is an old bungalow that looks a bit dated.
However, this is a famous local snack house.
There is an old man sweeping the floor at the door, and the wooden tables and chairs behind him are full of tourists.
Seeing Lin Ran and the others arriving, the old man raised his head and invited them to sit inside.
Lin Ran and the others saw that there was no room left, so they had to order water tofu and stand near the corner to drink it.
Drink and wait.
When the time was almost up, Lin Ran threw away the unfinished tofu in his hand.
I saw three sneaky guys entering the park.
They don't look like tourists at all, but like thieves sneaking in to steal something.
Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, the other party still fell into the trap.
The three of them first looked at the surrounding environment, then came to the viewing Buddha statue and started counting.
Immediately afterwards, they threw a snakeskin bag under the Buddha statue.
This series of actions was exactly what Hongda warned them to do.
The behavior seems ordinary.
Hongda poked his hand and prepared to put on the mask and take away the snakeskin bag.
Lin Ran grabbed him.
"What are you going to do when you fall to the ground?" Hongda was speechless. Lin Ran would stop him no matter what he did.
Lin Ran said: "You go over now, do you think you ran away?"
He asked rhetorically.
Hong Da was puzzled, but Guan Yun nodded in agreement.
"This is the place of transaction. If I were a family member of the kidnapped person, I would definitely not leave like this."
"Yes." Lin Ran agreed, "And not only that, before you are sure that your relatives are safe, you will hand over your trump cards. Unless the other party is a fool."
Kidnapping cases occur frequently in this era, mainly among gamblers and loan sharks. After all, people in this industry usually know the truth, and the problem cannot be solved even if the other party reports the crime.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, remote places are usually chosen for transactions.
Of course, it must be paid in one hand and delivered in one hand.
If the other party is an honest person, it is worth trusting.
But others are a professional counterfeiting team, and their experience in the world of fraud is not inferior to theirs.
It is completely impossible to hand over vital chips without confirming the safety of the leader.
Only by holding the chips in hand can the safety of the hostages be guaranteed.
Hongda felt his IQ being pressed to the ground and rubbed, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
No matter what I do, nothing is right, so I simply stop doing things.
He just nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, I will follow your orders."
Lin Ran nodded, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be nice if this guy didn't cause any trouble for them.
Guan Yun is already busy now. When he was serving in the army, he learned investigation and counter-investigation techniques, and now he is searching for the opponent's accomplices in the crowd.
If someone is staring here, then he will definitely be able to find this person's location.
It's still early, and I would rather spend more time than fall into the hands of a counterfeiting gang.
They choose to conduct transactions here in a relatively remote park, which is also very particular.
There are few people here, and most people of this era have some respect for Buddha statues.
Passengers generally have a little money and will not just pick up things on the ground.
However, after all calculations, Lin Ran still miscalculated one thing.
tramp!
This is a profession that is easily overlooked. After all, in Lin Ran's era, there were no more homeless people on the streets.
But in the early 80s, there was still a big market.
Moreover, there is no urban management here. The quiet and quiet environment near the Buddha statue has naturally become the first choice place for homeless people to live.
Lin Ran was startled when he saw a man in ragged clothes walking past.
He was just looking for a place to sleep, but he didn't expect to see a snakeskin bag on the ground.
I picked it up happily and prepared to wear the snakeskin bag as new clothes.
The moment he picked up the snakeskin bag.
Curses came from around the homeless man: "You bastard, let me beat you to death!"
After saying that, ten young people rushed out.
Hong Da wiped his sweat. It was not easy to deal with so many young people. Lin Ran guessed it right.
"Do you want to save him?" Guan Yun frowned when he saw the innocent being beaten.
Lin Ran shook his head.
"No, they will run away when they find out they hit the wrong person." Although Lin Ran also sympathized with the homeless man, they had more important things to deal with now.
The homeless man was beaten until he screamed.
Lin Ran kept staring at the other party, trying to find out the other party's little boss.
The most important thing is to find someone who is similar to Ningliu.
Although Ningliu didn't say anything, his eyes clearly betrayed him.
Ningliu is also stupid, he still firmly believes that his brother will save him at all costs.
In fact, Lin Ran realized that the other party did not want to trade with him at all, and even wished that he would kill Ning Liu as soon as possible.
The specific reason is unknown. It may be a personal grudge or a desire to take over his business.
After the homeless man was beaten to death, a middle-aged man came up to him. He was one of the people he saw the day before yesterday who came to treat him to a drink.
He grabbed the homeless man's hair and observed it for a while.
Then he shook his head: "These are not those three people."
"What? What happened to him?" one of the gangsters asked.
"I...I'm really just a garbage collector." The homeless man said with a sad face.
At this time, the person outside shouting: "The security is coming!"
Although it is quiet here, it does not mean that no one sees it.
The tourist who had something up his sleeve called the local police station, and security officers were quickly dispatched to check on the situation.
When these little gangsters saw their whereabouts revealed, they dispersed and ran in different directions.
"Let's go." Lin Ran saw them scattering and running away. This might be the best time for them to find the instigator.
"Who are you following?" Hongda was stunned. The other party was fleeing in at least eight directions. If each of the three of them chased one, something would slip through the net.
"I just recognized someone." Lin Ran said.
Guan Yun had already taken the lead and followed Lin Ran. When he passed Lin Ran, he patted him on the shoulder: "Let me go. You guys wait for me near Tianxia Pavilion."
This place has been targeted by security and is definitely not suitable for trading.
"It's good to have someone to help." Hongda started panting after running two steps. He hadn't had a good rest at all in the past two days because of the pursuit of counterfeit goods. "
Lin Ran nodded slightly in agreement. Without Guan Yun, he might not be able to get past the other side if he chased after him.
It is better to leave this kind of matter to the experts.
They looked back and saw that the security guard had begun to ask the homeless man questions.
"Why do others hit you? What did you do? Why do so many people hit you instead of hitting you?"
Every sentence speaks directly to the fragile soul of the homeless man. Unfortunately, this is a world where the weak have no right to speak. Even though the homeless man feels extremely unhappy in his heart, he has no other choice but to stamp his feet.
He knew that he would get no compensation and could only be beaten in vain.
