? One night, in a supermarket, there was a young man named Yamada. He seems to be buying something for the holiday. He had just selected a few samples when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Catch him, catch him, catch the thief!" " "
Yamada looked up along the shouts and saw a young man in his twenties running towards him. He immediately put down his belongings with a smile on his face. The young man ran to his side, jumped to his feet, grabbed him with lightning speed, and shouted, "Don't move! I am a criminal police! " He took out his certificate and waved it to the young man. Then he quickly found a wallet from the young man and said to a man in his forties who followed him, "Is this yours, sir?"
Mr. Wang took the wallet and thanked Yamada: "OK, OK. Thank you so much! "
Yamada said, "Please, sir, I'll deal with this thief." Then he dragged the young man to a nearby hotel and called the boss and said, "I'm a criminal policeman." I want to ask the young man who stole the wallet. May I borrow your room? "
The chubby boss, with a sly smile on his face, said cheerfully, "Of course, I am very interested in serving the police." As he spoke, he opened the door of a room and said, "It's in this room. Please come in."
Yamada pushed the young man into the door and closed the door behind him, saying, "Be honest and take everything out of your pockets." Seeing the young man standing still, he said, "Well, it seems that I have to do it myself." As he spoke, he found a thick stack of money from the young man's pocket and stuffed it into his pocket. He said: "This money must be ill-gotten gains. I'll take care of it first So you can tell me now, what is your occupation? "
The young man smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I am a criminal policeman."
Yamada laughed: "Are you kidding? Just check your pockets, there is nothing to prove that you are a criminal police. "
The young man's tone suddenly hardened: "I'm here to perform a special task: recently, we found someone posing as a criminal police to defraud money." Hey hey, I knew your certificate was false, but I didn't expose you just now. What do you have to say this time? Come with me. "
? When Yamada saw that his scam was caught, he immediately relented and stammered, "Please be merciful, I am a first-time offender. Please don't tell anyone. Of course, as a price, you can bear everything on me. " Then he took some money and a diamond ring from his pocket.
? The young man took the money and the ring, looked at it and said, "We can consider it. However, I want to know what you do? "
Yamada took a look and replied, "I can't tell you, or you will ask me for money endlessly."
The young man was angry: "Stop talking and tell the truth!" "
Yamada said, "I am a criminal policeman."
The young man was stupefied: "Impossible, you are a criminal policeman. Why did you admit your mistake just now? "
Yamada interrupted him with a sneer: "Because I'm on a special mission: catching the criminal police who make secret transactions with criminals. Because the task is confidential, I intentionally don't bring my documents. "
When the young man heard this, he shouted incredulously, "Nonsense, are you trying to cheat me again?" Fake COP! "
Yamada also shouted: "Bastard, I think you are a fake criminal police!" " "
While they were arguing, the door was suddenly pushed open and the fat boss of the hotel waddled in. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Yamada, looked at the young man, and then said, "I've been listening outside for a long time. Gentlemen, I am a real criminal policeman. "
Both Yamada and the young man were surprised.
The boss looked at them and burst out laughing: "Gentlemen, don't panic, don't be nervous. Actually, I'm not a criminal policeman. Judging from what just happened, you are all good. You are all talented and smart people in doing bad things. How's it going? Let's work together. "
? "But," Yamada asked, "why should we cooperate with you?"
The boss smiled and said, "In fact, I only open a hotel to hide people's eyes and ears, secretly smuggle cars and jewelry, and provide others with a place to hide stolen goods." He proudly listed his "achievements!" Finally, he said, "If you can join us, you will gain more."
Hearing the boss's words, Yamada jumped up at once. The boss was about to struggle to escape when the young man rushed up. When one of them was arrested, the innkeeper was immediately subdued.
The boss was at a loss and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yamada and the young man smiled at each other: "To tell you the truth, we are all policemen. We have long discovered that the main criminals in a series of recent cases are in this hotel, but we have never fully understood them. Now the method I have racked my brains to come up with has finally worked. "
The boss said, "But what evidence do you have to prove that I am the principal offender?"
? "We knew you would do it, sly dog!" Yamada smiled contemptuously. "That's why you recorded what you just said." Then he took out a pocket tape recorder hidden in his pocket for a long time and shook it at the boss.
? The boss saw it and bowed his head.
