...
"This is the project payment I just got from a friend. What should I do if I disappear?" At around 4 a.m. on August 11, the Beigang Police Station of Hongshan Branch of Wuhan Public Security Bureau received a report from Zhu, and Zhu was very excited.
Zhu opened the safe to determine the amount.
22-year-old Zhu told the police that at around 11 pm on August 10, he got a safe at a friend's house containing 240,000 yuan in cash, which was the money they planned to do the project together. Zhu put the safe in a carton and packed it. When he went downstairs, he also brought a garbage packaged with cans and and mineral water bottles in the carton and prepared to throw it down. After going downstairs, Zhu felt that the cardboard box was a little heavy. Because the car was parked outside the community, it was about 300 meters away. He thought to put the cardboard box in a hidden position first and wait for the car to come back to pick it up. It was late at night and there were no one walking around in the community. Zhu felt very safe. Seeing a gap in the middle of the trash can, I placed the carton next to the trash can, and "keep it a little care" and did not take out the garbage that was to be thrown out. "I want to disguise myself as garbage, but I won't pick it up even if others see it."
At 11:32 pm, Zhu walked out of the community to pick up the car. He happened to find a friend who came to play with and called and said he was about to get nearby. Zhu planned to get back to the friend, so he waited in the car. Thinking of the safe, Zhu urged his friend to get faster. He received his friend in 10 minutes. 40 minutes had passed when he returned to the community. What surprised him was that there was nothing next to the trash can and the cardboard box disappeared. He felt that the incident would be able to be retrieved soon. Zhu told his friend who gave him the money. The friend immediately went downstairs to search for the garbage cans and flower beds in every building in the community. The search was fruitless. They called the police at around 4 a.m.
Beigang Police Station was very alert and attached great importance to the report. It immediately appeased the person who called the police and immediately verified and investigated the case. At around 5 a.m. on the 11th, the Quick Resistance Team members were divided into three groups. Zhou Dan and Ao Peng went to the police community to check and monitor the terrain to understand the terrain. Lu Genggeng and Shao Jianpeng patrol the streets on the roads and attacked at any time. Peng Jing and Liu Hong quickly carried out video tracking in the office.
The old man took out the safe he picked it up.
11 at around 10 a.m. on the 11th, the police found an old man riding a bicycle out of the community in the video, with a cardboard box hanging on the handlebars. Zhu recognized it at a glance. The police locked the white-haired old man. At this time, he was on his way home after selling the scraps near Wuliang Road. The police saw an old man riding a bicycle at the entrance of the community and stepped forward to explain the situation.
The old man said that he happened to pass by the trash can that day and was about to go home to sleep. When he saw a large cardboard box placed next to the trash can, he was about to pick it up and take it home to sell it to the scrap purchase station tomorrow morning and sell it to the waste purchase station to subsidize the household income. The box was a bit heavy and not empty. The old man was puzzled at the time, but he didn't think much about it. It was not until I took it home that I opened it and found that there was a small black box inside the cardboard box. I didn’t know what it was for, so I put the black box on the table.
The police helped Zhu recover the safe.
After hearing the whole story, the old man immediately returned the black safe containing 240,000 yuan to the caller Zhu. "I was very happy when I saw the safe." Zhu felt relieved and kept thanking the police and the old man. Afterwards, the police criticized and educated Zhu in kindness, and Zhu happily accepted it.
