Chapter 6 Forty Thieves

Time: A rainy day. Location: Zoo.

Characters: Father and his fat son, a teenager, a lover, and a dirty child.

Use dead branches to draw a circle on the ground, and this circle is called a zoo.

A boy sat on the damp wooden chair. He looked melancholy and his hair dripped with water. Love was gnawing at his heart. He looked forward to a girl, walking lightly on the grass, and walking beside him.

The lovers in the pavilion hugged each other. The flowers were wet, and the goldfish swam around among the water plants, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

In that row of iron cages were tigers, lions, bears, ostrichs, wolves, leopards, and monkeys.

The cage is really poetic.

Now, in front of the cage is a father and his fat son. The father said, "Son, be careful of animals, they are like humans. Look, the big tiger is catching lice for the little tiger."

The fat son's mouth was stuffed with bananas and suddenly cried.

The father said, "What's wrong?"

The fat son looked at his father and said, "I'm not hungry."

The father smiled and said, "Then feed the monkey!"

At this time, a dirty child came in. His hair was like a chicken coop, his neck was gray, and he was wearing a rotten clothes. He grimaced at the bear with a smile, slapped the cage so loudly.

There are often such happy elves wandering in the city.

The fat son looked up and said to his father, "Dad, I'm afraid he will hit me."

The father said, "Don't pay attention to him, go and feed the monkeys."

They came to the iron cage where monkeys were locked. The fat son peeled a banana, and the father picked up the banana peel on the ground and said to his son solemnly: "You must protect the environment."

The fat son said, "Why is there only one monkey?"

The father lit a cigarette: "Maybe it is a rare breed, it is a golden monkey. Oh, unlike, it is sick, poor little guy."

A little monkey lay in the cage, with sad eyes and dirty hair.

It's a small cigarette bag.

The fat son threw the banana into the cage and said, "Eat it, little monkey."

Xiaoyanbao sat up, yawned, and tears and snot flowed. When he saw his father smoking, he crawled over and reached out his hand.

My father said, "Give it another banana."

The fat son threw all the bananas in, but the little cigarette bag ignored it. It began to roll on the ground, holding its head with both hands, its eyes were red and squeaking.

The son clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Crazy, crazy, it's so fun."

The father said, "What's wrong with this little monkey?"

The little cigarette bag tried to snatch the cigarette from his father's hand.

The father was stunned and said, "I want this." He threw the cigarette into the cage. The small cigarette bag was picked up and took a few sips. It squatted and shivered.

The child also lay in front of the cage at some point and said, "What are you looking at? Let me see."

The child swallowed and saw the banana in the cage.

The fat son said, "Dad, let's go, he smells so bad."

My father said, "Let's go home and take a shower. The rain makes my neck sticky."

The fat son said as he walked, "It's okay to take a bath, unless you don't let me eat chicken legs at night. I don't like it, I'm tired of it."

The children looked at them, picked out the bananas from the cage with branches, held them in their arms, and ran away quickly.

The son said to his father: "Dad, look, that's a thief."

Let's do a small test.

You can't lick your elbow with your tongue.

You can't catch a fly with your bare hands.

You can't hold up a brick with two fingers.

If you do it, then you have the ability to be a thief.

In many places, we often see a group of suspicious people gathering there, smoking and whispering. They look at pedestrians, follow them, and cover them. One person opens your backpack with great speed, sweeping away all the money and valuable things inside. The whole process only takes a few seconds, and it is carried out in broad daylight. They are very bold. Even if someone is discovered during the theft, they just walk away in disappointment and then aim at the next target. Most pedestrians dare not speak out, and it is difficult for the police to punish them because most of them are underage children, and the leaders who manipulate these children to steal are behind the scenes and are difficult to catch.

The wanted order on theft issued by the Ministry of Public Security in recent years can also be regarded as a ranking of Chinese thieves. Among them, Cuban ranks second.

Cuban, a craftsman and a teacher of a group of thieves. At the age of 22, he wandered everywhere with a knife carved with a goat's head. Wherever he went, he left the smell of mutton. But he didn't sell mutton skewers or raisins. The first burglary was on the streets of Wencheng. He saw an old woman telling fortunes. A yellow bird took out a card. The rough idea on it was that he would lose some money recently, but there would be noble people to help him. Everything turned into good luck and wealth from now on.

The old woman said a whisper: "Fate is destined by nature, and luck can be changed."

Before leaving, he gave the old woman two yuan, but stole the old woman's wallet.

From that day on, his fate went to a dead end.

In a burglary case, a thief said to another thief: "You hide behind the door, and if someone comes in, you hit him in the head with a stick."

If no one comes in, it is theft; if someone comes in, it is the robbery.

A thief will become a robber due to accidental factors. If the stick is beaten hard, or if you encounter resistance, the robber will easily become a murderer.

Cuban first robbed and then robbed. For a while, what this bearded man had to do every day was to spend money, take a hundred yuan counterfeit currency and buy things. He bought apples, cigarettes, socks, radishes and cabbage. His money was returned by keen-eyed vendors again and again. During that time, he wandered on the streets with more than 3,000 yuan in his arms.

When Cuban had no food to eat, what made him hungry was not his stomach, but his emptiness. When he was full, he had a place in his heart, and there should be a woman there.

When he was young, he liked to track beautiful women on the street. Once, he failed to control his hands and was imprisoned for attempted rape.

A few years later, Cuban returned to his hometown and married Guli, the most beautiful little widow in the village. He set up more than a hundred banquets to entertain the villagers in the village, and even entertained passers-by. He built roads, dug wells, and built grape trellis. Everyone in the village was grateful to him and knew that he had made a fortune outside.

Guli has an illegitimate child. She once wanted to drown the child in a washbasin. Later, she choked while drinking water and lost her courage. One day, under a tree full of locust flowers, the child said to Cuban: "Ada, I want to be the most powerful thief in the world, just like you."

"Then I'll test you," Cuban asked him, "You saw a cyclist with a wallet in the basket. How should you get the wallet?"

"I deliberately hit the car." The child replied.

"Haha, little Balang, this is not OK. I will teach you, you can hold a ball of wool in your hand and a rope that ties beer, red, white, that way, throw it into the wheels of the back and wrap it around. The unlucky guy gets off the car and turns to pull the wool. You should take advantage of the moment when he turns around and moves quickly to get the bag. Some women like to wrap the bag on the handlebars, and then you have to need a small blade."

"I understand, mainly to let the riders stop."

"Smart. I'll ask you another difficult question. If that person doesn't ride a bicycle and he walks, how can you find a way to stop him?"

Balang touched his scalp and said, "I don't know."

Cuban put a dumb locust flower in his mouth and said, "After a while, I'll take you out to see it."

Before leaving, the villagers sent their children to the door of Cuban's house. They said: "Let the children get rich with you too!"

On August 19, 1999, in front of the Hualian Building in Jeju, a child suddenly fainted at the intersection, his limbs twitched and foamed at the mouth. Many people watched, and the water was blocked. Several other children were crowded in the crowd and waited for an opportunity to steal. After they got it, they winked at the child on the ground, and he stood up, wiped the foam beside his mouth, and walked away swaggeringly.

We know that this horn wind is pretending to be a fake foam that is spitting out because of the soap chewing in the mouth.

The oldest of these children is 18 years old and the youngest is only 10 years old. They all call Cuban Ada.

Yesterday they were still picking cotton and wolfberry. Today they followed Cuban and Guli to steal and make a fortune in the world.

From October to December 1999, these forty thieves rented a house in the Jinjia Courtyard on Ximen Street, Jeju City.

Guli used half a brick to calculate the calculation on the wall. She said to Cuban: "We, forty people, have to eat steamed buns worth fifty yuan and vegetables worth sixty yuan a day. Even pickles, we have to eat twenty kilograms. We haven't eaten meat for a month, and with smoking, even Balang has learned to smoke. With rent, water and electricity bills, it's a hundred yuan. This is still a small amount. Our daily expenses are 200 yuan, and a month is more than six thousand yuan. Oh my God, this is not enough."

Cuban was sleeping, and he covered his head with his quilt and blocked his ears with his fingers so that he would not hear Guli's nagging.

Gulina's unique deep eyes began to become worried. She continued: "Yesterday, the raw melon and white fan were beaten back with a bruised face. They didn't steal anything. Let these wastes go home and go back to the cotton field. Also, Balang used the stolen money to buy a toy pistol. He was still a child, playing, Balang, Balang."

Guli shouted out the window, and a child who was eating bananas in the yard ran in: "What's the matter?"

Cuban stretched out his hand from the quilt and slapped Balang hard with the back of his hand, and blood came out of Balang's mouth.

It was a dusk, and after that a theft case that shocked the whole country and even became famous overseas occurred.

The Jin family courtyard is six minutes east of the Ximen Savings Station. For a few days, Shenggua and Baifan are staring at the people who are withdrawing money at the door of the savings station, and they have nothing to do.

One day, Cuban stood by the roadside since dusk, looking at the savings bank, and he stood all night, and a bold idea came into his mind.

At dawn, he stepped on the last cigarette butt with his feet and went home.

Guli was washing clothes in the yard, and Cuban called the children together. "We want to do a big thing," he said. "This is to dig the land and steal all the money from that bank, not even give them the bad tickets."

After listening, the children cheered and threw their hats into the sky with joy.

That night, he used a rope to measure the exact distance from the Jin family compound to the savings office. The next day, he bought an electric drill, a shovel, a pickaxe, and a mine lamp.

At 10 a.m., Cuban drew a bucket of water into the circle at 10 a.m. and said to the children: "Dig, start here."

The gate of the yard was closed, and more than a dozen older children began to dig tunnels. At night, twenty children quietly transported the digging soil to a pond in the suburbs. Three months later, the pond was filled, but the tunnel was lost. They crossed a street, several houses, and even dug under a tree, but did not reach the bottom of the savings office. Cuban was at a loss and thought of a friend he met in prison, named Liu Chaoyang, nicknamed "Rat", and was a real master of digging.

After Liu Chaoyang came, he went to the bank first, carefully checked the location of the bank vault, and then checked the tunnel. Under the roots of the tree, he said to Cuban: "This is a willow tree, dig it to the right."

They only dug for three days, and Liu Chaoyang pointed at the top of his head and said, "It's here."

After the incident, the local police claimed to the media that this group of thieves may have excellent equipment, including the Global Positioning System, as well as many mathematical, engineering and excavation experts. We know that the so-called excellent equipment is just some of the simplest tools. The mathematical, engineering and excavation experts mentioned by the police were Liu Chaoyang, who was just an ordinary coal miner who was sentenced to three years in prison for tomb robbing.

The police pointed out that the thieves rented a yard near the savings office and closed the door to dig tunnels, without any doubt. The tunnel was in the shape of a "people", indicating that the guys had lost their way. The willow tree pointed them in the right direction. The tunnel had plastic panels on the walls, wooden boards on the ground, and lighted lights along the way, and a studio. Bank staff only discovered a large hole in the ground of the Qiankuan at 8 a.m. The thief moved away five safes in the money warehouse, without touching the alarm bell, the movement sensors and security cameras of the vault, and there was no response. The police did not disclose how much money the thieves stole.

At 8 a.m. that day, the moment the bank staff saw the big pit screaming, Cuban had already boarded the train back home.
