After buying the equipment, Ji Changze did not take Smith and the others to the mall this time.
What he said to them was clear, so naturally there was no need to test them further.
Of course this is not the case.
The main reason Ji Changze stopped was that he saw that Smith and the others had no money.
Nowadays, if you want to make a movie, the equipment is still very expensive. Plus, he specifically picks out the expensive ones. He buys whatever is difficult to buy. It’s not his money anyway.
After one round, hundreds of thousands of people couldn't be beaten at all.
The batch purchased today alone exceeds 400,000 yuan.
The smiles that appeared on Smith's and others' faces because Ji Changze said he would take them to see their father gradually could no longer be maintained.
Rather than buying equipment, this is simply buying gold.
But Ji Changze's attitude was too natural.
He looked like a young master who came from a wealthy family and had no shortage of money. The young master didn't take the money seriously at all, and naturally he wouldn't think of helping Smith and the others save money.
In fact, Ji Changze wanted to buy quite a lot of things. It was from the increasingly stiff expressions of Smith and others that he could see that these scammers really had no money, so they had to stop with regret.
I finally met someone who took advantage of me, but I didn’t expect that I only had so little inventory.
How much money did it cost? It won’t work so soon.
Ji Changze felt regretful in his heart. He was too lazy to deal with these useless scammers. After buying the goods, he just asked to go back to the hotel to rest on the pretext of being tired.
Of course, although the other party has no money, as the saying goes, the wind leaves traces and the geese pluck their hair.
Even if we don’t have money, aren’t all of them tall and powerful, and can they be considered strong laborers
Ji Changze was making a small calculation in his heart. As soon as he returned to the room, Ruan Heng came over: "Are you back? Someone from Shanshi called to see you today."
"Find me?"
Being able to find out the hotel's phone number and specifically looking for him, Ji Changze calculated in his mind and figured out who it was.
He called the other party's number, and sure enough, the other party answered immediately.
"Hey, who is it?"
As soon as Ji Changze's voice came out, there was an obviously relieved voice from the other side.
"Brother Ze, it's me, Bazhou."
Bazhou, one of the original owner's younger brothers, was impressed by the original owner's charm relatively early (deceived). When the original owner had no time to go to school, he was always doing his best to maintain the group and appease his younger brother.
The original owner also thought he was useful and gave him a higher status. Only he and another person knew where the money was before.
"Bazhou, it just so happened that I wanted to find you. What a coincidence that you called me yourself."
It was probably when they discovered that the money was gone that they called anxiously in the middle of the night to ask. Ji Changze quickly took the lead.
Before Bazhou could ask, Ji Changze asked him first. He was stunned and couldn't say anything he had prepared.
"Brother Ze, aren't you in the capital? What do you want from me?"
The boys next to him started chatting when they saw that he didn't ask questions. They all became anxious and winked at Bazhou, signaling him to ask for money.
Ji Changze's voice came from the phone: "Didn't we talk about joint venture projects before? I came to the capital this time to look around and found a good way to make money. You have all seen the movie."
"Movies? How do movies make money? Is it by selling melon seeds and peanuts in the cinema?"
No wonder Bazhou thought of this immediately, mainly because there are indeed many snack sellers near the cinema. When it comes to making money from movies, his first reaction is to sell snacks.
"How much money can you make selling melon seeds and peanuts?"
Ji Changze said directly: "I have already thought about it. Let's make money by making movies."
"I have already thought about the selection of materials, equipment, location and location for filming. The foundation here is almost ready, and school is about to have a holiday. Buy your tickets now. Don't worry about the ticket price. I will reimburse you."
Bazhou: “…???”
Ji Changze didn't say much, but he had a lot of information.
He was immediately stunned.
"Brother Ze, are you serious? We are not professionals in making movies..."
"This kind of thing requires learning. Isn't it enough to just learn it? If you don't do anything because you haven't learned it, then you will only be eating and drinking in this life?"
As if feeling that he was disobedient, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became stern: "Where's Lao Wu? Is he around? Let him answer the phone."
Bazhou looked aside.
Ji Changze's other younger brother, Lao Wu, who was in charge of accounting, looked at him eagerly. When he saw him looking at him, he quickly asked in a low voice: "How is it? What did Brother Ze say? Did you say where the money went?"
Bazhou handed the phone to him: "Brother Ze wants you to answer the phone."
Lao Wu quickly picked up the phone, made a "don't worry" gesture to Bazhou, and whispered: "It's okay. I know you are afraid of Brother Ze and don't dare to ask. I'm not afraid. I'll ask."
As soon as the phone was put to his ear, he raised his head: "Ze..."
"What Ze!! What's wrong with you! Is this how you manage the accounts?! How long have I been in the capital? You haven't noticed that I took the money in the cabinet?! !”
Ji Changze scolded him: "I've been waiting for you for so long and I haven't found out yet. I've already taken care of everything. How dare you brag to me about your carefulness?! If you don't care about money, how can I dare to let you do it in the future?" Are you in charge of the accounts?!!”
Lao Wu: "... Brother Ze, did you take that money on purpose?"
Ji Changze admitted shamelessly.
"Every time I wanted to use money, I never approved a note for you. I didn't approve it for you this time. You really can't find out?"
Lao Wu was completely stunned.
Brother Ze took the money away specifically to test when he would find out that the money was missing
He was stunned for a second, completely forgetting that he should be the one questioning him, and quickly explained:
"No, Brother Ze, I really looked at the cabinet carefully, but isn't the cabinet locked? It will only be opened every time I put money in it, so I..."
"So what? Let you put it in every time you have new money. Doesn't it mean that you can only wait until you get a new signature before opening the locker? That money is all the savings of the brothers. It is of great importance. Even if you are not a real accountant, I have never studied this major, so I can open it every day and count it, right
After waiting for you for so many days, there is still no news. I wonder if you still don’t know that the money is gone? ! "
"No, no, no, I found out today. It was because I found out that the money was missing that I called you, Brother Ze."
As if it was because he could still discover it instead of knowing nothing from the beginning to the end, Ji Changze's tone was slightly better: "Then you can still be saved."
"Okay, in the past, in our own hometown, our own territory, even if you were a little careless and took it for granted, it would be nothing. But from now on, when we have to do serious things, money is the most important thing. If you take care of the money, you are the most important thing." That person, if you don’t put money first, then why have we brothers been struggling for so long?”
Lao Wu didn't notice at all that the matter had shifted from being suspicious of Ji Changze, suspecting him of secretly taking the money and running away, to that he didn't care about money.
Still nodding guiltily to admit his mistake: "Yes, yes, I really won't do it next time, Brother Ze. Brother Ze, please believe me."
"Well, after all, we are brothers who have been together for so long. Of course I still believe you."
He had a good attitude in admitting his mistake. Ji Changze also softened his tone and adopted the attitude of speaking to his own people: "Lao Wu, you have a good heart and always think the best of others. You feel that this money is only for yourself. It’s in the cabinet, so I didn’t even think about checking it every day.”
"But when doing things, no matter what you do, since it is entrusted to you, you have to be serious and not slack off. Otherwise, think about it, suppose I didn't get the money, or I ran away with the money. , won’t you, who is responsible for managing money, be blamed?”
Ji Changze didn't mind taking himself as an example at all, but Lao Wu felt more and more that he was doing it for his own good, and he felt even more ashamed:
"Yes, Brother Ze, I remember it. I will definitely check the account every day from now on."
"Okay, just remember it. You and Bazhou will notify each other and tell them that I have settled in the capital. Let all the brothers who have paid money come to the capital. We want to make movies and make money."
While Lao Wu was still feeling ashamed, Ji Changze quickly threw a combo of punches: "Just be busy and record the list of people going to the capital, and then help them buy tickets. Just use the new money this time. The tickets should be enough." Understand."
"filming?"
In this era when micro-films have not yet developed, and not everyone has a mobile phone and can shoot videos, the word "making a movie" sounds difficult to ordinary people.
Especially at this time, many young people are obsessed with plot characters in TV dramas. They save money and buy posters of movie stars to hang on their walls.
Their yearning for movies and their love for celebrities may not be as generous as those of later generations, but they are definitely used with 100% sincerity and sincerity.
Compared to Bazhou, who was the first to consider practical issues, the younger Lao Wu instantly became excited.
"Is it really a movie? Then can we still meet the stars? Can I meet Xiaoyu?!!"
Xiaoyu was an actress who was famous for a while, but she disappeared just as quickly as she became famous. At least she hasn't appeared in the recent entertainment pages for a long time.
But some teenagers are not forgetful at all. They don't know what the entertainment industry is like, and they don't know that it will be difficult for Xiaoyu to get resources in the future, but they still like others stupidly.
Ji Changze did not break the cold water: "If our movie is good, we should be able to see it."
"Wow!!!!"
If Lao Wu was excited just now, he is extremely excited now.
"What a great photo! Boss, you are so smart, you must have a good photo!!"
Ji Changze was not surprised that he was so easy to coax.
Although it is said that so many people were deceived by the original owner because of the limitations of the times and because the original owner was indeed talented at being a liar, it has to be said that these guys are really stupid.
The original owner didn't ask about their ending, but Ji Changze could guess it.
He had been defrauded of all his savings and could not get the money back. He had no academic qualifications and basically no skills. If he still had the money, he could still buy a house and start a small business, but the original owner directly deprived him of this possibility.
In the end, most of them spent their lives in factories and construction sites.
Life is like this. There are countless forks in the road. Trusting the wrong person may change your entire life.
But this time, Ji Changze also wanted to change the lives of those who had given all their trust to the original owner.
"I have rented a place for you to live in. They charge you by the day. It is very expensive. You should go to the capital as soon as possible today. After buying the tickets, tell me the exact time and I will pick you up."
"Don't bring too many things. You can just go to the capital to buy new ones for your bedding. You don't need to bring a lot of clothes to change. We are just starting out and can't afford to hire extras. Everyone has to play extras. When the time comes, we can just wear the ones in the play. clothing."
Ji Changze arranged everything in an orderly manner. When Lao Wu heard that he could see Xiaoyu, his mind was filled with excitement, and he agreed to everything he said.
"No problem, Brother Ze. I'll try to take someone there tonight. They'll probably be there tomorrow morning."
"Okay, get some snacks and keep an eye on your money when you're out. Don't wake up after a nap and run out of money."
"Lao Wu, you were so careless this time that I shouldn't let you take care of money anymore, but you have always followed me and believed in me. I also believe that you will not do it again next time. You must not make any mistakes this time. ,do you know?"
Ji Changze's words of advice made Lao Wu feel more at ease.
Brother Ze didn't dislike him and let him manage the money.
Wow, wow, Brother Ze is so good.
After hanging up the phone, he wiped away the tears that were half excited and half excited, and looked at his younger brothers who were looking at him eagerly.
The boys are almost dying of anxiety.
Especially when I see Lao Wu talking on the phone, I cry and laugh sometimes.
So is the money still there, and who took it
As soon as the news of the missing money spread, people everywhere were panicked. Many people speculated that Ji Changze ran away with the money.
After all, he has been away from Shanshi for a long time. Even though everyone knew that he was sent by the school to do translation, it is an indisputable fact that he is gone and his money is gone.
That amount of money was all the savings of many people. They worked many jobs and took a long time to save it.
The purpose of taking out this money is to get more money. If it is really taken away, how will they live in the future
A younger brother spoke nervously:
"Fifth brother, we don't want money to make money as we said before. We use this money to do business and we all share it together. I don't want any extra cents. I just need to pay back the principal."
"Yes, yes, do you still have the money? Didn't you lose it?"
"Fifth brother, you are talking!"
Lao Wu completely forgot that he had the same mentality as these younger brothers before. At this moment, after receiving Ji Changze's words of comfort and future plans, he felt like he was floating.
When I look at the younger brothers, I also have a look of "you all can't keep calm".
He coughed dryly, his face full of excitement: "Stop, stop, stop, don't make any noise, just be quiet and let me talk."
Lao Wuyi shouted loudly, and the younger brothers below quickly became quiet.
"It's true that the money is with Brother Ze, but he didn't take it away without telling us. He used the money to buy things for making movies. From now on, we can all have movies and TV sets. !!”
filming
Even if the guys just heard them mention the movie on the phone, they didn't think they were going to make it.
Isn't that a movie that can only be made by a great director, a talented student, and a great star
Many of them only have primary school education, and some even have no schooling. How can they make movies
Many people had timidity on their faces: "Let's make a movie? We're not stars, can we really make it?"
"I can definitely shoot it, otherwise Brother Ze wouldn't let us all go to the capital."
Just because he could see Xiaoyu, Lao Wu was already blindly trusting Ji Changze.
Of course, the main reason why he believed it was that he had no common sense in this area, and he didn't know how difficult it would be for Ji Changze to follow through with his light words.
In his eyes, Ji Changze, a college student, was already very impressive.
The people who make movies are also very good.
So rounding things off, it is very reasonable for Ji Changze to be able to make movies.
"Anyway, I'm going to count the people now, and then you go back and pack your things, and buy tickets to go to the capital tonight."
Seeing that the people below him didn't move, and all of them had hesitant expressions on their faces, he clicked his tongue:
"What are you afraid of?! I won't let you pay for the ticket. You are all grown men. Are you still afraid of being trafficked?!"
I have to say that although Lao Wu has no education and no brains, he is still very good at using the provoking method.
It's normal that everyone doesn't want to go to the capital. After all, they have never been out of the mountain city since they were young. How can they be in a familiar place and a strange big city, or a place like the capital that makes people feel shocked just hearing about it? Not afraid yet.
But Lao Wu just has this ability to urge them to take action.
"With so many of us gathered together, even if no one is well-dressed, who dares to look down on us? Don't be so impatient, come over and sign up for us. I want to buy tickets based on your names."
He worked hard for Xiaoyu. He took out his notebook and pen vigorously, sat down at the table and began to write down names.
Bazhou actually feels that this matter has no bottom line.
But his trust in Ji Changze still made him the first to step forward: "I want to go."
"I heard that wages in the capital are high. Even if the movie fails, I can still find a job."
As soon as these words came out, some people who were willing to find jobs also came forward hesitantly.
In just one afternoon, Ji Changze did not run away with the money, but took the money to build some kind of film equipment in the capital. The news that he planned to take people to make movies became new gossip.
A part of me is afraid of going to a strange city and feels that making movies is unreliable.
That movie was made by celebrities. Ordinary people like them are not good-looking and have no temperament. Who would watch it if it was made
It doesn't sound reliable.
But think about the brotherly loyalty, what he said before joining the team, and the fact that Ji Changze is a college student.
College students are better at things than them, right? If he could lose money, would he be willing to do it
Some people hesitated and chose to join, others were interested in quitting, and still others hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up their minds.
When Ji Changze called again in the evening, even though Lao Wu tried to be tactful, he understood after two or three sentences.
"Those who don't want to go to the capital don't have to force themselves. Tell them that I will refund the money they gave me before. Anyway, it will be recorded in the account and it won't be a penny less."
"But forget it about others. The three children of the Zhao family, try your best to persuade them to come to the capital."
Ji Changze has also been looking at the list of younger brothers written down silently this afternoon and selecting them one by one from the memory in his mind.
The Zhao child is the youngest brother on the list.
The eldest brother of the Zhao family is nineteen years old this year, the second brother is thirteen years old, and the youngest is a little girl, only five years old this year.
They were relatively miserable. When the eldest brother of the Zhao family was fourteen, his mother died and his father gambled, leaving a pile of debts and running away with three children.
The younger brother was eight years old at the time, the younger sister was still a baby, and the family still had debts. The eldest brother of the Zhao family dropped out of school and worked around to save money, raising his younger siblings while paying off the debts.
It’s not like no one mentioned that they could go to an orphanage, but if they go to an orphanage, the three children will be separated. In addition, it’s not like I haven’t heard of the bad life of adopted orphans before, so the eldest brother of the Zhao family insisted not to do it. willing.
Fortunately, the control over child labor is not so strict now. He endured the hardships alone and saved a lot of money.
Because he dropped out of school, the eldest brother of the Zhao family worships academic qualifications and believes that people with higher education are more capable. In addition, he can only do dirty work and burn his life in exchange for money, which is easier than those children in school. He was deceived, and unfortunately he got on the original owner's pirate ship.
After that, the original owner took the money and ran away. Even though he kept some money in his hand, the family's situation was still tight. Unfortunately, the five-year-old girl gave birth to a baby a few months after the original owner ran away. Serious illness.
They don't have enough money to afford treatment.
The little girl stayed at the age of five forever, and after that, the original owner didn't know what happened to the two brothers.
Ji Changze always likes children, especially children who are self-reliant and have excellent character. Just listening to them makes people feel distressed.
If they had someone to guide them, even if there was an adult at home, Ji Changze would not interfere in their decisions. But it is obvious that even if they are willing to endure hardship, there are many things that no one will teach them in front of them. It will definitely be very hard for them to figure them out.
Ji Changze came up with this reason: "There is a child in the script who is going to play the heroine's childhood role. He is almost the same age as the little girl from the Zhao family. If they come, I won't have to look for young actors. The price of young actors is really too expensive. ”
As soon as he heard that he could save money, Lao Wu immediately became energetic.
In addition, he already has sympathy and affection for the Zhao children, so if we can make money and find a living together, it would be best to take them with him.
The three children of the Zhao family do not have the ability to make their own judgments like others. The eldest only knows how to do hard work, the second is still young, let alone the youngest. He is only five years old and knows nothing.
Lao Wu had always taken good care of them, and he was a trustworthy brother in their eyes. What he said was very useful to the three of them.
The eldest brother, Zhao Tian, was more worried about his sister: "She is so young. Is it too hard for her to follow us around?"
"If my little sister is tired, just hold her. She is only five years old anyway, so we can hold her. If you can't hold her, I can do it for you."
Lao Wu knelt down and touched the head of the little girl who was sitting obediently on the bench: "Our little girl is going to make a movie too. When she grows up, she might become a big star."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from outside: "Hey, do you really believe in the nonsense about making a movie? That movie is going to be on TV. Who said it can be made?"
Lao Wu frowned and turned around, and sure enough he saw several people standing at the entrance of the yard.
These are the little gangsters in this area. Unlike Ji Changze's team who are dedicated to making money, they have no intention of doing any business. Instead, they simply and crudely collect protection fees and bully the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Zhao Tian joined Ji Changze's team because they were targeting him and asked him to pay protection money. In order to protect himself, Zhao Tian joined Ji Changze's team.
After all, although they don't fight, there are so many people, and the most common words they say are "We are all brothers when we come here" and "Brothers will get support from all sides when they are in trouble."
Regardless of whether they joined because they wanted to bully others, at least if they joined, others would not dare to bully them.
Lao Wu also remembered these people and sneered: "What? Do you have any objections to us? Okay, how about we choose a place and we can have a fight?"
The faces of those people suddenly became ugly.
There are only three of them here, but Lao Wu can summon more than a hundred people, which is a big deal.
But deep down in my heart, I still resent Ji Changze, a college student, for inexplicably starting a team. As a result, those who joined were unable to ask for money, and they lost a lot of income for no reason.
Now that I see what kind of mess they are doing in making a movie, I really can’t let go of the anger in my heart if I don’t take the opportunity to ridicule them.
"Don't you be ignorant of good people's hearts? We are reminding you that you just believe whatever Ji Changze says, right? He also makes movies. Is he a professional director? Do you have a professional actor?"
"If nothing else, my uncle works in a cinema. He told me personally that you need to apply for a movie to be released. Does he know how to apply?"
Lao Wutong didn't know what the other party said.
But it doesn't matter, he just needs to blindly believe in Ji Changze.
"Don't talk nonsense to me here. Anyway, we will make a movie and become a big star by then. Just don't get sore behind us."
He didn't need to explain at all.
Because once the other party is unconvinced and continues to say: "Who is talking nonsense, let me tell you..."
Lao Wu raised his fist: "Come on, ask someone to make a fight."
Three gangsters: "... We are not talking nonsense, you really don't believe it."
Lao Wu raised his feet and walked out: "I'm going to call someone right now."
Three people: "..."
Seeing that the other party was really about to come out, and thinking of the horror of more than a hundred people standing there, they looked at each other and quickly smeared the soles of their feet and slipped away.
"Tch! Coward!"
After scaring the people away, Lao Wu patted Zhao Tian on the shoulder: "Okay, Xiaotian, listen to your fifth brother. If it doesn't work, just go to the capital to see the world. Pack your things and I will write down your names."
He didn't take the three gangsters into his heart anymore.
The three gangsters remembered this incident very hard.
But so be it.
Even if they directly went into battle and scolded them, they wouldn't be able to scold them.
Fight, isn't that asking for death
The only way for them to vent their cowardice and cheapness is to talk loudly everywhere.
So everywhere in the mountain city were filled with their figures talking loudly:
Ji Changze said he wanted to make a movie.
It's really ridiculous. He thinks that a movie is something that can be made by just making some money and finding a few people
Those idiots really believed him and hurriedly packed their luggage to go to the capital.
It’s so funny. Just watch, everyone will come back dejected.
In order to vent their anger and badmouth Ji Changze, who was snatching and occupying his own survival resources, they also spent a lot of effort. Not only were their legs sore from running around, but they also didn't stop talking. In just one day, their mouths were full of bubbles. Out.
The fact that college students raised funds to make a movie is very eye-catching, especially when so many people actually bought tickets and gathered to go to the capital.
The news immediately spread everywhere, and the vegetable sellers would say a few words when meeting customers:
"Did you hear about it? There was a college student who gathered more than a hundred people and formed a team. He also said he wanted to make a movie. Make a movie. Kids nowadays really don't know what the world is like. Don't you think so?"
Ji’s mother, who was picking vegetables: “…”
She responded vaguely, bought groceries and returned home. She was cooking in the kitchen when Father Ji came back.
After the middle-aged man came back, he sat at the table and sighed, his eyes full of sadness.
Seeing his look, Ji's mother knew that he must have heard about it. She put the dishes on the table and sighed: "Don't be like this. Nagasawa always has ideas and can always accomplish whatever he wants to do. Maybe this He can also make movies."
"You can't just take a picture of this, eh, this kid."
How could Ji's father not be frightened? His son had not been an economical person since he was a child.
"He was fine before. Look at how many people have told me overtly and covertly in recent years that I should take care of their children. Even the leaders of our work unit have mentioned it implicitly. Everyone knows that my son is not up to par and goes to fight with the gangsters every day. They mix it up and say that he has high vision but low power, and he doesn’t know the heights of the world, and he is clamoring to do big business.”
He rubbed his brows, unable to cheer up: "Now when people talk about children, I don't dare to interrupt."
How come other people's children are so disciplined and well-behaved, but their children are so messy.
Ji Mu also sighed.
"Don't think about it. You can't control it anyway. Maybe he can really do something. Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about whether our daughter should be sent to learn painting during the summer vacation. She likes painting so much. I always feel that it's not right. It would be a pity to cultivate it.”
"I know that too, but my dad was sick a while ago, and the family's money is almost exhausted, and we still owe some debts. That painting class is quite expensive for a month."
Ji's father really couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure. To outsiders, their family seemed to have a good foundation, but raising two children cost money. In addition, Ji's mother's father was sick a while ago. As an only daughter, Ji's mother could only let her son-in-law. Come and take care of the money.
The disease is almost cured, and the Ji family is financially exhausted.
Ji's father didn't think that the money should be spent. He had a good relationship with his wife, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also treated him as their biological son. If something happened, they should come to the rescue.
It's just that he has no money in his pocket at the moment, his son is still doing trouble outside, and his daughter wants to learn painting but has no money, which inevitably makes him feel a lot of pressure.
Mother Ji touched his coat and said, "Where did you get a hole? Buy a new one quickly. People will laugh at you if you go out wearing torn clothes."
"Why buy a new one? Just mend it after a while. If you mend it on the inside, it won't be visible on the outside."
Ji's father took off his coat and rubbed his eyebrows again: "Nagaze, please call tonight and tell him not to worry too much."
He was very tired, but what could he do? Even if his son was going through all kinds of troubles, he still had to look after him.
Ji Changze was planning to contact his childhood sweetheart and first love, but Mr. Jin skipped the dinner party.
Mr. Jin is a very trustworthy person. Even if something happens and he cannot come, he will definitely call.
Something happened suddenly.
Ji Changze felt confident and looked at the arrival time record of the younger brothers in his hand.
Sighed.
There is no time to deal with Smith.
What a pity, such a good strong labor force.
So, when Smith and the others happily arrived at Ji Changze's room, they were greeted by uniformed police comrades.
And Ji Changze, who had a helpless face and an innocent tone: "I'm sorry, I also want to continue playing this rich man's game with you."
"But I'm really in a hurry and really don't have time."
As he spoke, the young man took out a small notebook with his plans for the future densely written in it. He turned to the end and circled a date:
"Hmm... let's see. It won't work this year, and it won't work next year. I will probably retire and be free in more than thirty years."
"The evidence has been given to the police comrades, how about you go in first, and we can come back to play more than thirty years later?"
