Hu Pingtao put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "I don't have time to joke with you. Do you think what I just said was just a verbal threat? It seems that your legal awareness is too weak."

"This is an act of theft. As long as the amount involved exceeds three thousand, we can file a case."

"According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China: Whoever steals public or private property in a relatively large amount, or commits theft multiple times, burglaries, thefts with weapons, or pickpockets shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or

control, and shall be concurrently or solely fined; if the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; if the amount is particularly huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life.

imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property."

Hu Pingtao paused deliberately and asked slowly: "Do you understand what I just said?"

Zhang Xingwen's heart was filled with fear.

In fact, he was in a state of ignorance. He understood some of the words and had no idea what they meant at all. But he knew the meaning of the words "fine" and "imprisonment" very well.

Zhang Xingwen stammered in his defense: "Fifty thousand... Fifty thousand yuan is not much!"

Tan Tao shouted sternly from the side: "Why not more? Go out and find a job. Just like you, you can earn at most two or three thousand yuan a month. Calculated in a year, your income will not reach 50,000 yuan."

.You can’t save anything without eating or drinking, so that’s not too much?”

Zhang Xingwen became a little anxious and spoke fluently: "No... I used to know a friend on the road. He stole a safe with more than 300,000 yuan in cash. However, he was only sentenced to one and a half years. Later, he said

He behaved well in prison and was released early."

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "Look at the score. Three hundred thousand yuan is a particularly huge theft crime, and you will have to be sentenced to at least ten years. If the circumstances are serious, it will be indefinite. If you go in, don't think about coming out again."

Zhang Xingwen's face was full of anxiety: "I really didn't lie to you. He really stole 300,000 yuan, and he really only stayed in prison for about a year."

Hu Pingtao explained: "If the criminal suspect takes the initiative to surrender and actively returns the stolen goods, he can seek a lighter punishment and a suspended sentence."

"In your case, the sentence is at least three years. And based on your attitude just now, I can make the situation even more serious. Ten years... Do you believe it or not, if I add "the suspect refused to cooperate with the investigation" in the case report?

In this sentence, the court can definitely sentence you to ten years in prison."

Zhang Xingwen said "Ah", his mouth opened wide, and his face was filled with fear.

"I...I didn't refuse to cooperate with the investigation!"

"I really didn't mean that."

Hu Pingtao grabbed his words and asked: "Then what do you mean?"

"I asked you properly before, but you pretended to be deaf and dumb to me."

"I asked you to take the initiative to explain the problem, but you said you didn't do anything."

"I told you that we have surveillance videos and all the information about you. Do you think the face recognition system is just a show? Do you think the fingerprint comparison is just lip service? Do you think it is just a fluke that we can find your home?

?”

"Boy, you underestimate our police. The army and police are state machines, and our abilities and powers are far beyond your imagination."

"When I arrested you today, I saw that you had a wife, children, and elderly people at home, so I gave you a chance during the interrogation. As long as you realize your mistakes and confess honestly, I can handle it as appropriate and treat it as a surrender."

It can reduce your punishment."

Having said this, Hu Pingtao put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray. He changed his gentle and gentle tone before, and his whole appearance suddenly changed. There was fierceness in his eyes, and the muscles on his face were tense, showing

Somewhat terrifying and ferocious.

"Now don't think about surrendering. You only have one chance, and there's nothing you can do if you don't want me."

"You are such an old man, you should know what "ten years" is. When you are released from prison, I guess your children will be able to find someone to get married to."

"Haha, ten years!" Hu Pingtao deliberately raised his hands, crossed the index fingers of his left and right hands, and made a sign of "ten" in the air: "Do you think your wife can wait for you outside? I didn't mean to intimidate you.

, I have seen too many couples divorce after going to prison. Why divorce? Because they feel they have no future! You are inside and she is outside. Not to mention the usual greetings, even a visit has to wait in prison.

notify."

"I don't believe in words like love and steadfastness. Why do people need to be steadfast? You can't earn a penny inside, but people have to live outside. What's more, you have children and elderly people at home. How can you not earn a cent?

Are you going to be chained like this for the rest of your life?”

"Rather than suffering from exhaustion and torturing myself, it would be better to divorce you while I am young and beautiful and get relief as soon as possible."

After saying that, Hu Pingtao sighed deliberately: "I really think about you. If you are locked up in there for ten years, your wife divorces you, and then finds another man to marry...then someone else will discipline your wife for you.

, others beat your children.”

"When I went to your house before, I saw a set of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in your bookcase. Have you finished reading that book?"

Zhang Xingwen nodded without knowing what was going on, and replied in a panic: "I've finished reading it...I've read it several times."

"So, you are also an educated person, and you can even be said to have some literary tendencies." Hu Pingtao stated the facts and reasoned: "Deng Tisi, the protagonist in the book, has been in prison for twenty years.

Years later, when he came out, his fiancée had remarried and gave birth to a son to Fernan."

A few words awakened the dreamer.

Zhang Xingwen didn't care about anything and hurriedly shouted: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

…

Zhang Xing's literary background is quite high, having graduated from two majors.

The major is also good, civil engineering.

Any major has its own characteristics, and the same applies to those engaged in civil engineering. He graduated eight years ago, when the construction industry was booming. Even if he graduated with a second degree, as long as he had the right major, construction companies and units were rushing to get him.

Zhang Xingwen was a lazy man who couldn't bear hardships. He stayed at the construction site for more than a week and then left.

In his words: Being exposed to the sun and rain, eating ashes and dirt on the construction site, I don’t want to be paid no matter how high the salary is.

Later I found a girlfriend and got married.

There is a huge gap between ideas and reality. Without money, every step is difficult.

Zhang Xingwen also found several jobs after that, but he still felt tired and would always quit after just working for a few days.

His father died early and left behind two houses. His mother had retired long ago and could take care of herself. With the little money from the family, Zhang Xingwen has been living until now.

Money and gold cannot bear such consumption every day. Seeing that his wife is pregnant and has given birth to a child, even if Zhang Xingwen is very heart-broken, he has to face reality and consider making money.

The method of counterfeiting other payment QR codes was taught by his wife - she watches short videos on her mobile phone every day, which is her only hobby. After watching some funny videos about counterfeiting QR codes, this method

The woman's mind also became more alive.

At first, Zhang Xingwen was just making small fuss, and he didn't dare to cause trouble nearby. He always ran far away, looking for vegetable markets in suburban counties, and secretly posted them on the outer walls of merchant shops.

He didn't dare to make things bigger, so he only posted one or two posts at a time, which was completely tentative.

Seeing the lights flashing on the phone screen and the unexpected money entering his WeChat account, Zhang Xingwen felt happy.

We have two apartments at home, one to live in and one to rent, and with my mother's pension, my life is actually barely sustainable.

Counterfeiting other people's QR codes to collect payments will only bring in a few yuan, or at most dozens of yuan, each time. Moreover, this method cannot last long and will be discovered in a few days at most. Although others cannot catch him,

Zhang Xingwen was a little worried after all.

He specially made a batch of special small-sized QR codes and secretly posted them on shared bicycles.

During that time, there were entries every day.

Not much, just two and a half yuan per transaction. Shared electric vehicles charge this amount every half hour.

Zhang Xingwen got hundreds of dollars one after another, and then fell into complete silence.

There are many "smart people" like him in the world who use QR codes to make money from shared bicycles and electric vehicles. Many people have done this.

Zhang Xingwen is not the first, nor will he be the last.

As the country's crackdown on telecommunications fraud and regulatory measures become increasingly strict, it is becoming increasingly difficult to "make money" by this method. After all, no one is a fool. When scanning the QR code to use the car, the WeChat ID of the car company did not pop up, but a WeChat payment page popped up.

There must have been a brief period of confusion for a few seconds at first, but then it became clear that this was a routine.

Zhang Xingwen has done a lot of similar things, and his techniques have become more and more proficient.

He found it endlessly enjoyable.

The feeling of getting something for nothing is very satisfying, and there is a sense of satisfaction that "I have the best IQ in the world, and everyone else is a fool."

It was great, but I didn't make any money.

Because of this matter, his wife often quarreled with him.

As the saying goes, "if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog." It was only after she got married that her daughter-in-law found out that Zhang Xingwen actually had this "hobby". She lamented that she was blind at the time, but the reality is here, and it is too late to look back.

, can only accept fate.

"Can't you do something big?"

"One yuan or two yuan at a time. This amount of money is not even enough to stuff between the teeth."

"Look at you, there's no good place to post a QR code, but you have to stick it in the vegetable market. Leeks cost one yuan a handful, and cabbage costs one yuan and a half a pound. When the stall is closed at night, the remaining eggplants and tomatoes only cost five cents a piece.

Pile...you said you spent so much effort and only got fifty cents in one day, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Zhang Xingwen never quarrels with his wife.

On the one hand, he thinks that good men don't fight with women, but on the other hand, he has his own ideas.

You have to pay attention to experience when doing things. Butchers kill pigs and executioners kill people. It's the same principle.
