Blackstone Code Chapter 10: A little trick every day

After simply tidying up the room, Lynch has visitors. His house is an old four-story building facing the street. The first and second floors are a small bar, and the third and fourth floors are ordinary resident.

Many hotels or taverns will have short-term rental rooms on the second floor. For three to five days, or a week, the shortest one-day temporary rental is accepted, which is more like a hotel or hotel.

This pattern was first discovered from the drunks, the tavern owner would give them a bed and then charge an extra, and soon most taverns started doing this, taking money from the drunks. People will complain.

Alcohol is a very special thing, it can make some people be thrown unconscious in a "high-end" room to sleep for a night and pay a little more money, and it can also make some people simple and straightforward, so every Bars, pubs, all need some room.

This is also destined that the place where Lynch currently lives will not be too remote, an unpopulated suburb, where people come and go, whether it is day or night, there will be many pedestrians passing by.

The police said that they did not find any witnesses, and they may be veteran criminals. In fact, it is impossible to have no witnesses. Whether it is other residents living on the second floor, the bartender behind the bar on the first floor, or a few sparse customers, it is impossible. Do not know at all.

But they wouldn't say that, first of all, Lynch has no direct interest in them, and secondly, there is no need to be targeted by the Federal Tax Service because of a person they don't know and are not related to. Everyone chose to keep silent.

But this also happened to make the police misunderstand something, and then have room for action.

He had just finished tidying up the messy room when someone came to the door, it was a few children who sold newspapers.

The leather bags they were carrying were bulging and everyone seemed to be struggling and flushed, partly because of the heavy leather bag and partly because of excitement.

The masthead promised a few of them that as long as they send the money and remember some details in the room, they will be able to get an extra reward this month, no less than 50 yuan each. .

This money is very important for children of their age. After two or three years, they will start to live independently. Before that, they must save some savings to face the society. The opportunity is not easy to come by, although it is only fifty dollars.

Lynch glanced out the door before closing the door. The tavern he was in was right on the side of the main road. There was a corridor outside the door, and the road was just outside the corridor. Clear most things outside.

There is nothing unusual, but his heart has already opened up. Based on his years of experience in fighting against..., these children are very suspicious.

It's true that he's dealing with these newsboys these days, but the mastheads also come, but they don't enter the room, they basically stand in the corridor outside.

They gave these children a lot of change, and naturally they had to keep an eye on them to keep them from running away. While protecting their property, they could also deter these children, but there is no masthead outside the corridor today.

What does this mean?

Any anomalous phenomenon means a deeper problem, there are two possibilities for the absence of the header:

The first possibility is that he doesn't want to have any direct relationship with himself and here.

The second possibility is that he knew that it was dangerous here, so even if he cared about the change and didn't show up at the scene, he had a way to ensure that his money would not go wrong.

This is a conclusion that can be drawn without thinking, otherwise he would not let these newsboys come with a lot of change to exchange the whole money.

In addition to what happened to Lynch before, he already knew with a high probability what was going to happen next.

Not only was he not afraid, but he was excited and eager to try!

"How much money is there?" He took a small wooden box from one side, put it on the cart, and asked the newsboys to pour the money into it.

Several children fell on one side and said, "A total of five thousand yuan, sir."

"Five thousand?" Lynch laughed, his eyes looking at the leather bags of several newsboys, "This is an unexpected number, I thought it would be less."

This amount of money is too much, enough to convict him directly, which also confirms his thoughts. Someone is setting up a game, and he is the player in the game.

If he waits for someone from the tax office or the Bureau of Investigation to rush in and he can't explain where the money came from and why it's in his room, he could face serious charges.

When the time comes, as long as the other party proposes a "deal", he will definitely not be able to escape the hands of those people, and he can only do what they ask, unless he wants to sit in prison.

He nodded noncommittally. After the wooden box was filled with five thousand yuan coins, he pushed the car into the inner room and said hello, "I'll go to the toilet, you wait for me for a while. ."

The five thousand dollar coin is very heavy, the five cent coin is the lightest at 3.7 grams, the fifty cent coin is the heaviest at 6.1 grams, plus the ten and twenty-five cents , the average weight of each coin is more than four grams.

5,000 yuan, 100... 30 pounds, each newsboy has more than 20 pounds of coins in his bag, no wonder their faces are a little redder than usual, just going up to the second floor can make them feel to the obvious exhaustion.

After entering the inner room, Lynch did not rush out. He dragged the box full of money into the washroom, and found a pair of sturdy trousers from the freshly washed clothes in the cart.

Tie the trousers on both sides tightly, hold the coins and stuff them into the trousers. When the box is lighter, just hold it and pour it into it.

The two trouser legs were filled with coins. He tied his waist with a belt, pushed the two trouser legs apart into a stick-like shape, and stuffed it through the leak of the rudimentary toilet in the bathroom.

When this old building was built by people, there was no humanized elbow design.

Not to mention bent pipes, even parallel pipes will allow the feces upstairs to flow back directly, so its launching design is a straight main pipe, and then each floor has a downward sloping pipe directly connected to On the main pipe, there is a one-way plate where the main pipe connects to the septic tank.

The advantage of this design is that there will be no backflow. Residents living on the ground floor do not need to watch the toilet spray out of the toilet in fear. The disadvantage is that sometimes the home will have a strange smell. If an exhaust fan is installed, it will Don't need to worry about that.

He hangs the soapbox on the head of the belt, a simple wooden box that makes sure that the head of the belt will float in the dung, so that when you take it out at night, it won't jump into the poo A little bit of searching in the pool.

He breathed a sigh of relief after a faint sinking sound and the sound of wood boards bouncing back against the pipes.

Not long after, Lynch returned to the room with a few stacks of banknotes in his hands. Now the newsboys were a little impatient.

Their attention was completely focused on Lynch's hand, the stack of thick banknotes!

He sat beside the bed, took a few newspapers in his hand, unfolded the bills wrapped with rubber bands, and handed them to different children, "You count it first, and then I will count it again." /

This is his rule, and people are willing to do it, and this kind of point-to-point approach creates an important channel of trust for Lynch and these traders.

The children were not happy with ordering. When the first child finished counting the ten-dollar bills in his hand, he handed the money to Lynch while talking about the numbers he had counted.

Lynch counted again in front of him, then put it directly into the newspaper, wrapped it in the newspaper, took out a rubber band from his pocket, tied the newspaper and handed it to the child, which is why he has always doing so.

In his original words, the most inconspicuous thing in the leather bags of the newsboys is the thing related to the newspaper, which can prevent them from being targeted by some people.

This statement has also been recognized by the newsboys. Since then, as long as the money exceeds 50 yuan, Lynch will hand it over to them in a newspaper bag, and it has become a habit for them to adapt to now~IndoMTL. com~ After counting the sums of money, wrapping them in newspaper and tying them with rubber bands, Lynch immediately returned to the inner room after sending the children away, and took out a lot of money from several pockets on his body.

He played a little trick and deducted a lot of money that should have been given to the children.

This is actually a very simple trick. When counting money, use your ring finger to pick up a portion of the banknotes around the middle finger, and then retract the **** and hold the palm down at the moment of counting the money. Some of the money will be collected in the palm of your hand.

At this time, the children who finished counting the money focused on the stack of money that Lynch had put on the newspaper, so that Lynch could easily put the hand that had detained part of the money back into his pocket. - He needs to get a rubber band.

After the newsboy and Lynch both counted the money at the same time, they would be wrapped in newspaper and tied with rubber bands under the watchful eye of the two. , probably in less than two seconds.

In addition, these children are relatively young, Lynch is older, they don't dare to offend Lynch's majesty, and they won't come up with the idea of ​​recounting, Lynch got the money back smoothly .

If they had the courage to resist, they wouldn't be just a newsboy now.

About two or three thousand dollars. He didn't count. Since the other party used this method to frame him, he couldn't blame him for finding some compensation first.

Not long after he did everything and hid the money, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open...
