Hu Pingtao is not usually very vicious.

But in such a chaotic scene, if you don't be fierce, you won't be able to control the situation, and no one will listen to you.

The man with the eyes was frightened. He opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were on his lips. Then he honestly took out his ID card and handed it to Hu Pingtao with a depressed look on his face.

Tao Jingxuan is twenty-seven years old this year.

A young woman of similar age stood next to him, hugged his arm, and asked timidly: "Officer, do you want to see my ID card too?"

Hu Pingtao registered, returned his ID card to Tao Jingxuan, glanced at the young woman, and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

The girl said: "He is my boyfriend?"

Hu Pingtao asked: "Were you two together when the incident happened?"

The girl nodded.

Hu Pingtao said: "Then you also need to register. Give me your ID card."

Her name is Liu Yu, she is twenty-five years old.

Hu Pingtao turned around and said to the man in the jacket: "Same for you, show me your ID card and let me see."

The man quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on the page: "I didn't bring it with me, but I took a photo for later use. Can you take a look?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "That's okay."

His name is Wang Jianming and he is thirty-two years old.

After registering in sequence, Hu Pingtao looked at both parties involved and asked: "Let's talk now! Why are we quarreling?"

He raised his finger and pointed at Wang Jianming: "Speak first."

Wang Jianming said: "Today my colleague and I made an appointment to watch a movie together. When we entered the venue, there were still seven or eight minutes left before the screening. As soon as we sat down, my colleague saw a wallet under the seat in front of me. So I picked it up I got up, opened it and took a look, and found that there was an ID card and a driver's license inside, as well as two bank cards and some banknotes."

Hu Pingtao asked: "How much is it exactly?"

Wang Jianming smiled bitterly: "Cinemas always start checking in tickets ten minutes in advance. Sometimes the check-in time is even shorter, only three or five minutes. Although it was still early when we entered the theater, advertisements were already playing on the screen. I just I saw four or five 100-yuan bills, and some change. I’m not sure of the exact number, but it probably adds up to about 500 yuan!”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "What happened next?"

Wang Jianming continued: "Our idea is very simple. People who lose their wallets will definitely come back to find them. They are probably the audience who watched the last show. Anyway, we will wait for this one. If the owner does not come, we will wait until after watching the show. Give your wallet to the cinema staff and let them handle it."

"Then the movie started. It must have been more than forty minutes! The waiter came in with two people, a man and a woman. The waiter used a flashlight and shined it on the chair in front of us. They were just looking for something. Seeing this attitude, I asked: Did you drop something?"

"Then the man yelled that his girlfriend's wallet was missing. They were sitting in this position before. I didn't think much about it, so I took out my wallet and said, look, is this the one?"

"Although the lighting in the cinema was dark at the time, the woman had a very good look in her eyes. She snatched her away and stared at me... I felt quite surprised, because according to my idea, I picked up the wallet and gave it back to them. You should at least say "thank you" to me!"

"But I thought about it and never dreamed that the man came over and pulled my clothes and told me to get up. I was totally baffled by what I heard, so I asked him what was wrong? He didn't explain clearly, he just said Let me go out with him and explain things clearly outside, without disturbing other audiences in the cinema."

At this point, Wang Jianming's colleagues also interjected angrily: "We were watching the movie peacefully, and suddenly we were disturbed like this. Even I found it strange. You said you lost your wallet, and we kindly picked it up and returned it.

Why do you still speak in such an aggressive tone? It feels like we owe him."

After hearing this, Hu Pingtao also felt that the matter was strange and asked: "Why did he let you out?"

Wang Jianming was very annoyed and glared at the young man wearing glasses standing opposite: "He said there were two thousand yuan in his wallet, but now there are only four hundred left. Looking at it like this, I must have taken the money, and asked me to give it to him."

Hand it over."

"Damn it, I was shocked at the time. What the hell is this! I really encountered a dog when I went out! I got angry at that time and said you lost your wallet. Is it reasonable? Why are you blackmailing me?"

"And she, this woman is not a good person either." Wang Jianming raised his finger and pointed at Liu Yu, who was standing next to Tao Jingxuan, and glared at her: "This matter has a lot to do with her - the wallet is hers, I picked it up

When I arrived, I opened it and looked at the certificate inside."

Liu Yu was young but had a very bad temper. When she heard Wang Jianming talking about herself like this, Liu Yu exploded on the spot, pointing at Wang Jianming and yelling: "It makes sense for you to steal my money, right? You're a scumbag like you..."

He obviously became a thief, pretending to be a good person, and ostensibly returned my wallet to me, but where is my money? There were clearly more than two thousand in my bag, and it was swallowed by a mad dog? "

Wang Jianming was also angry: "Who are you scolding?"

Not to be outdone, Liu Yu said: "I'm going to scold you, you shameless thief!"

"Paralyzed, I have to beat you to death today!" Wang Jianming's face was covered with blood, and he was like an enraged beast rushing towards him. Fortunately, his colleague had the good sense to stop him and hug him.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao shouted loudly again and separated the people on both sides.

"Just give me some peace."

He turned to Wang Jianming and said coldly: "We're going to fight, right? Then there's no need to talk about anything, just get into the fight."

The blue blood vessels on both sides of Wang Jianming's forehead bulged high, his chest heaved violently, and his face was full of uncontrollable anger: "Officers... they... are too bullying!"

His colleague also said angrily: "Yes! We picked up the wallet and returned it to them with good intentions, but we still said such things."

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be pretending, Hu Pingtao comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, wait until I figure things out."

He then turned to Liu Yu: "Take out your wallet and show me."

Liu Yu subconsciously covered her bag: "What are you doing? This is my wallet."

Hu Pingtao looked at her and asked: "Which of you called the police?"

Unexpectedly, the cinema manager on duty who stood nearby and remained silent quickly raised his hand: "I called 110."

Hu Pingtao was quite surprised and turned to this side: "They were quarreling, how could it be you who called the police?"

The manager on duty said frankly: "They made a big fuss in the cinema, and no other audience could watch. I rushed over after receiving a call from the staff, and called a few security guards, and then I half persuaded and half pulled them out of the venue.

Get it out."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and asked: "There was a movie playing at that time. They could go in. Was it your service staff who took them in?"

"Yes." The manager on duty nodded and asked, "Officer, do you want me to call the person who brought them in?"

Hu Pingtao said "Yeah": "Of course I have to call him."

The manager on duty here called someone. Hu Pingtao took this opportunity to turn to Liu Yu and still asked the same question as before: "Take out your wallet and show me."

Although she was very reluctant, Liu Yu could only open her satchel and take out her wallet.

It was a bright silver women's wallet with a striking "LV" combination pattern inlaid on the metal buckle. However, with Hu Pingtao's vision and experience, it was not difficult to see that this was a replica.

There is a certificate in the wallet, and when compared with Liu Yu, it is indeed her.

Hu Pingtao returned the wallet to Liu Yu and said seriously: "You should think carefully about how much money is in the bag?"

Liu Yu opened her mouth and answered without thinking: "I remember very clearly, it was more than two thousand, it seemed to be two thousand two or two thousand three. I took a special look when I went out today. I just withdrew three thousand yuan from the bank yesterday. , are all in the bag. I bought a piece of clothing and some snacks yesterday, and the total cost was less than a thousand yuan."

Long Xu, who was watching from the side, also felt that this was unreasonable. He came over, looked at Liu Yu doubtfully, and asked: "When I returned the wallet to you, wasn't there still money in the bag?"

Tao Jingxuan felt that both Hu Pingtao and Long Xu were targeting his girlfriend. He stood up, pointed at Wang Jianming, and shouted unhappily: "Are you trying to cover him up on purpose? It was obviously him who took the money in the bag. How come he is justified in all this going on?"

Long Xu frowned and asked: "If it were you, if you found the wallet, would you take part of the money and then return the wallet to the owner?"

Tao Jingxuan's voice was loud and matter-of-fact: "Yes! Definitely! I will take more than two thousand yuan, half of it, keep some in my bag, and then return it to the owner. This way, I will save my face. If If you meet someone who is stupid and has no brains, you might happily give him a banner."

Wang Jianming was angered again: "You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. I tell you, even if the police are here today, they can't stop me. I have to beat you to death!"

Seeing this, Long Xu quickly walked over to dissuade him.

Hu Pingtao thought intently.

This thing feels quite weird.

It is a good thing to find a wallet and return it to the owner.

But Liu Yu insisted that there was less money in her wallet.

Hu Pingtao has encountered a similar situation before. If you use the old method to break the eucalyptus, it is simple - in a word, since the money in the wallet does not match the number, it means that this is not your wallet.

But the problem now is that there is Liu Yu's ID in the wallet, which makes it clear that the bag belongs to her.

Could it be that Wang Jianming really stole the money from the bag and then pretended to have found it?

Just at this time, the manager on duty walked into the office with a waitress.

"Police officer, this is Zhang Xiaoru. She is responsible for checking tickets today."

Hu Pingtao walked up to Zhang Xiaoru and said in a gentle voice: "Please tell me about the situation at that time."

Zhang Xiaoru is a slightly fat middle-aged woman. She said to Tao Jingxuan and Liu Yunu: "I was at the ticket gate today, because the movie had already started, so I was sitting there to rest. Then they came and hurriedly , said they left their wallets in the cinema, and asked me to let them in to look for them. I saw they had ticket stubs, checked the time, and it was indeed the last show, so I took them in."

"The seats on the ticket were No. 5 and No. 6 in row seven. After entering, I showed them a flashlight. The gentleman in the back row (Wang Jianming) asked if he was looking for his wallet. He then said that he had picked it up and returned it to them. "

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who picked up the package at that time?"

Zhang Xiaoru raised her finger and pointed at Tao Jingxuan: "He picked it up."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "He took the bag and then handed it to his girlfriend?"

Zhang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "It seems so! I don't remember clearly. There was a movie playing at the time, and I had my back to the screen, so I didn't think much about it... I couldn't remember it anyway."

Hu Pingtao lowered his head and stared at the ground, lost in thought.

Liu Yu was impatient and kept shouting: "What else can I say? He just took the money in my bag and pretended to be a good guy... Are you still a man like this?"

Before Wang Jianming could get angry, Hu Pingtao suddenly raised his head and shouted sharply at Liu Yu: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's great that you have a loud voice? Get out of here if you keep talking nonsense!"

He is really fed up with people like Liu Yu. He chirps like a chicken. He is like this now and will still be like this when he gets old.

Liu Yu was frightened by his fierce appearance, and stood there blankly with her mouth open.
