Chapter 42: The scammer was caught, and the loss was stopped in time

"By the way, brother, have you prepared the money? How much is it? I'm about to go to work and I can't be without money." Jiang Meizhi asked Jiang Daguo in a low voice again.

Jiang Daguo said vaguely, "Don't worry about the money. I can deliver vegetables to the Civil Affairs Bureau thanks to my friend's brother-in-law, so please help him with his affairs first."

Jiang Meizhi believed it and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go see Wu Deyuan first."

According to the location agreed upon yesterday, Jiang Meizhi brought Jiang Daguo and Chen Xingyang to a noodle restaurant.

Early in the morning, there were many people sitting in the noodle shop, eating breakfast.

At a table in the corner, a medium-sized man in his fifties, dressed simply, was reading a newspaper.

On the table in front of him, there was no bowl of noodles, but a black, half-worn handbag.

This outfit looks very much like an official.

Jiang Meizhi saw him at a glance, pulled Jiang Daguo's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Brother, it's him, Wu Deyuan."

Chen Xingyang narrowed his eyes, winked at Jiang Daguo, quietly walked away, and went to the counter of the noodle shop to borrow a phone.

"Hello, is this 110? This is the Convenience Noodle Restaurant at No. 98 Jianmin North Road..."

Jiang Meizhi walked forward with Jiang Daguo. She smiled and called out, "Deyuan, I'm here."

Wu Deyuan looked up and found that Jiang Meizhi had brought a strange man with her. He looked a little unhappy, "This is..."

"This is my eldest brother. He came to the city to deliver vegetables. I asked him to borrow money and he agreed. He said he wanted to meet you." Jiang Meizhi glanced at Jiang Daguo, nodded with a smile, pulled out a chair, and motioned for Jiang Daguo to sit down.

I blamed Jiang Daguo in my heart. Why was he still so rustic after being in the city several times?
Wu Deyuan's expression relaxed a little. "It turns out to be Brother Mei Zhi. Hello, my name is Wu Deyuan, and I'm Mei Zhi's friend."

He stood up and shook hands with Jiang Daguo.

Jiang Daguo stood up and stretched out his hand stiffly. "I heard from Meizhi that her job was thanks to your help. Thank you so much."

Before meeting Jiang Meizhi, Chen Xingyang told him a lot.

He said that Wu Deyuan must be coaxed into staying, otherwise he would run away and he would never be caught again.

Chen Xingyang told him in detail how to coax people.

Jiang Daguo had never experienced such a thing before, so he spoke carefully, afraid of saying something wrong.

But what he didn't know was that he was dressed simply, looked honest, and spoke seriously with a flushed face, which only made Wu Deyuan think that he was an honest and gullible person.

When Jiang Daguo saw that she asked about Jiang Meizhi's work, he became proud and started boasting about her one thing after another.

We were talking happily and before we knew it several minutes had passed.

A police car arrived at the door of the noodle shop. The manager of the noodle shop rushed over in panic, and the people eating noodles looked at each other in confusion.

But Wu Deyuan, who was sitting in the corner of the noodle shop, didn't notice the movement at the door at all, and was still talking excitedly to Jiang Daguo about his skills.

He talked about how powerful he was in the company and how many people he helped find jobs.

Jiang Daguo frowned as he listened, but Jiang Meizhi had a look of admiration on her face.

"Reporter Chen, where is the person?" A policeman who came in first glanced at the noodle shop.

"Comrade police officer, what happened?" The noodle shop manager asked hurriedly, worried about the impact on his business.

For the sake of confidentiality, the police officer did not answer the manager and only looked at Chen Xingyang.

"That's the guy, the one wearing a white shirt, with a briefcase in front of him and not eating noodles." Chen Xingyang pointed at Wu Deyuan and said.

The three police comrades strode towards Wu Deyuan.

When Wu Deyuan reacted, someone had already grabbed his shoulder. "What...what are you doing? I'm a cadre, you are so bold!" He pretended to be calm and asked loudly.

Jiang Meizhi was shocked. "Ah, this is...what's going on?"

The other people who were eating noodles in the noodle shop also stopped eating and all looked over here.

"ID card, work permit, please show them." The leading policeman extended his hand to Wu Deyuan.

Wood Yuan was unable to utter a word.

The policeman took his briefcase and began to search through it.

After a while, the police officer laughed and asked, "Are you Wu Deyuan, Tong Xingyuan, Li Cheng, or Liu Kunming?"

Jiang Meizhi's expression changed. "Ah? What on earth is going on?"

"Come with us to the police station and explain everything clearly!" The policeman held the briefcase in his hand and waved his hand. The other two people escorted Wu Deyuan out of the noodle shop.

"Deyuan, Deyuan, what's going on? Where is my job? When will you take me there?" Jiang Meizhi chased after him.

But Jiang Daguo stopped him, "Don't chase him, he's a liar!"

"He can't be a liar, it's impossible." Jiang Meizhi stamped her feet anxiously.

"So what's his name? The police officer asked him several names, but he didn't dare to answer any of them." Jiang Daguo shook his head and said.

"Whether he is a liar or not, we can just go to the police station and find out. They will check the identity information of this person very clearly." Chen Xingyang said.

The person was taken away and Jiang Meizhi became restless.

But she had no choice at this time, so she had to follow Jiang Daguo and Chen Xingyang to the police station.

After waiting for only half an hour, the policeman who took Wu Deyuan away showed them some information.

“This is the real information of the person who was arrested.”

Jiang Daguo leaned over to take a look and saw that it said, "Feng Liwa, Team 7, Tuanjie Brigade, Militia Township, H County, H Province," along with a picture of an ID card and pictures of several fake ID cards.

"This man has committed fraud many times in City A. Before you, four people had already reported the case. We have been looking for him. Thanks to you for reporting the case, the criminal was caught." The police officer shook hands with Jiang Daguo and Chen Xingwang.

Chen Xingwang was very excited. "Have you finished the review? If you have, I want to write a press release."

"I'm still interrogating him. He still needs to explain some details. I'm afraid it won't be possible today. You can come and interview him tomorrow."

"Okay, that's it." Chen Xingwang, who got the first-hand news release, happily shook hands with the police.

It turned out that he was really a criminal, and Jiang Daguo felt relieved.

There was nothing else for him to do next, so he thanked Chen Xingwang and the police, then took Jiang Meizhi out of the police station.

"What else do you want to say now?" Jiang Daguo asked Jiang Meizhi with a sullen face, "Luckily, reporter Chen just discovered that there was something wrong with that person, otherwise you would be in trouble, and our whole family would suffer."

But Jiang Meizhi said angrily, "It's all your fault. Why report it to the police? Even if he cheated people, so what? What does it have to do with me? I lost my job, and I can't transfer my household registration. Wuuwuwuwu——"

She was so angry that she stamped her feet and started crying.

Jiang Daguo shook his head, "Why are you so stubborn?"

He persuaded Jiang Meizhi to go home, but Jiang Meizhi refused to go back no matter what.

Jiang Daguo was still thinking about the fields at home, so he had to ride his bike back home first.
