Modu, the second largest city in China, has a permanent population of 25 million, and its total GDP ranks first among cities in China. The world's largest container throughput, one of the world's financial and trade centers, has been dubbed the "Oriental Paris" reputation. When the people of the imperial capital were still pulling carts with braids and muddy legs, the people of the magical capital had already put on cheongsam suits and enjoyed a luxurious social life.
After the reform and opening up, the changes in Shanghai are calculated on a daily basis. Modern high-rise buildings have sprung up from the ground, foreign-funded enterprises have continued to inject, and the establishment of a free trade zone has become a business card of the Celestial Dynasty and a model for the development of other cities.
It's been a while since Shen Ming returned to China, but he hasn't been to this charming city yet. When he got off the plane and walked through the airport with many blue-eyed, fair-haired, white-skinned foreigners, he would understand what an international metropolis is.
Mr. Xun Jinyin obviously frequented the airport, and he was very familiar with everything here. Some security personnel even greeted him politely, like a friend of his own.
"Was that the police just now? Why did he see you as if he saw his own father?" Shen Ming, who was carrying the luggage, stepped forward curiously.
"It's normal. Basically, I come to the airport once a month for voluntary pick-up. The police station gave me so many certificates that the walls are not enough to hang them." Xun Jinyin smiled.
"Stole the saint to pick it up? It's so fresh." Shen Ming didn't know what expression to make.
"It's normal. There are rules in business, family rules in the family, and demons are my domain. If you want to beg for food here, as long as you pay homage to my family and say hello, you can basically get enough food and clothing. However, recently Over the years, many thieves have already broken the rules, and they have become unscrupulous after learning a few unique skills. Obviously I have let go of the word, and the airport and train station passenger terminals cannot be attacked, but they still ignore it. Dealing with ordinary pickpockets, the current reaction The pick-up brigade is strong enough, but some gangsters commit crimes, and even some thieves, only experts like us can pick them all out." Xun Jinyin tirelessly taught.
"I don't understand, why can't the airport and train stations be used?" From Shen Ming's point of view, this kind of place has a high passenger flow, and many people carry a lot of cash, and it is easy to have loopholes due to panic, so it should be better to attack. .
"What do you mean by 'stealing is a way'? It means that you must think twice before stretching out your hands. Think once, whether the stolen person can bear such a loss; think twice, whether I am sure that I will never be discovered by others; mouth to eat.
The airport is an important port of entry and exit for foreign guests in Shanghai. There are a large number of passengers coming and going every day. They are also our potential customers. But if we choose to do it at the airport, because the theft of foreign guests will greatly damage the image of the government, it will inevitably lead to increased anti-pickup efforts in the society, and the news media will also like to report on it, and our living space will be compressed by then;
As for the train station and the passenger terminal, the situation of the family who chooses to travel in this way will not be very good. Think about it, rich people have planes for long-distance travel, and private cars for short-distance travel. Go south and north
Modern life is not easy for everyone, and no one can embarrass the poor. Even if they have a lot of cash on them, it is hard money for selling blood and life. They would rather carry it with them than transfer the money, and save those poor people who have hundreds of dollars in transfer fees. .
How can such a person steal? Detrimental to morality. "Looking for gold and silver makes sense.
"Father, you are really not ordinary. You can steal a set of your own philosophies. If you choose the right one at the beginning, maybe I will change my name and ask you to find a professor." Shen Ming didn't have half a compliment, In his opinion, the Thief in front of him is by no means a thief in the general definition.
"I'm sorry, it's just that people like to sum up some truths when they are old. After all, they have lived for almost 80 years and don't even have a set of philosophy of life. Isn't it a waste of time to go through this world?" Xun Jinyin led With Shen Ming leaving the airport, he went straight to the parking lot, where a black Buick Regal was parked in a conspicuous place.
Shen Ming noticed that he was not a good car, but a man in a suit with icy eyes standing there. He looked like he was in his early 30s, and he was considered a handsome guy with his angular face, but There was only a ferocious scar cut from the corner of his right eyebrow to his chin, which made his face feel like a zipper had been opened beside him, which was extremely ferocious.
"Father, you are late." The man saw Xun Jinyin and said coldly, got up from the front of the car and walked towards the rear door.
"I'm sorry, I talk a lot when I'm old, I'll pay attention next time." Xun Jinyin apologized on his own initiative.
"This is my 'brother', right?" Shen Ming was also very involved.
"Well, his name is Iron Chain, and he is the best walker I have ever seen. Don't look at him speaking coldly, but he is very disciplined. Walkers are very strict about time. If you plan for a minute, you must have a minute, and if you exceed 1 second It's all his fault." When Xun Jinyin walked to the front of the car, the iron chain opened the door for him.
After Xun Jinyin sat in, Shen Ming also wanted to enter, but the iron chain snapped the door shut.
"Father, brother is trying to bully me?" Shen Ming looked at the iron chain and had already learned to make small reports.
"New here, do you know the rules? I'm not 'doing things' now, and I'm not your driver. I want to sit in the front. Don't force my brother to educate you." After the iron chain finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the cab.
"Bronze lock, this is indeed the rule." Looking for gold and silver can't help Shen Ming.
"It seems that there is something to learn in the future." Shen Ming put the luggage in the trunk with a helpless smile, and sat in the passenger seat. When Shen Ming reached out to pull the seat belt, the iron chain looked at him like looking outside. Like the stars.
"Brother, can't I be wrong again?" Shen Ming's mouth twitched.
"Of course it is wrong. How can a stolen car wear a seat belt? We are a group of people who want to abandon the car and run away at any time. The competition is speed, and the competition is time. Rather than worrying about killing you in a car accident, it is better to worry about being knocked down by the police. .Besides, since I can drive for Dad, even if I meet Schumacher in technology, I will not admit defeat, what are you worried about?" Tie Lian taught sternly.
"All right, all right, I'm just a newcomer, I'll take the trouble to teach you slowly." Shen Ming could only reach out and grab the ring.
"Father, where did you find this stick? It's too 'green (novice)', isn't it?" Tie Chain turned back.
"Qing Dian is fine, I'm afraid I don't have talent or my heart is too dark. Tongsuo is a nice person, and you will know if you cooperate more in the future." Xun Jinyin leaned forward and patted the two of them on the shoulders.
With the escort of gold and silver hunters, even if Iron Chain has a big opinion on the copper lock, it will not mention it again. Similarly, this is also part of the "rules".
When the iron chain started the engine and drove away from the airport, Shen Ming had already become interested in this ordinary-looking Regal sedan. Originally, the engine used in this 200,000-odd mid-to-low-end sedan was only a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. But from the sound, the engine has been replaced with a V12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a displacement of up to 6L, a maximum horsepower of 517Ps, and a top speed of 295 kilometers per hour, which is already a supercar level.
"The car is not bad. The engine of the same model of Aston Martin is much more expensive than this car, right?" Shen Ming laughed.
"The shell is just an appearance. If a tractor is needed for evacuation, I will change it to be as fast as a Ferrari. By the way, do you know cars?" Iron Chain showed a little affection for Shen Ming.
"Understood."
"What type do you like to drive?"
"It's the kind of tank with 6 sets of road wheels that burns diesel. It's better to be equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun and a few heavy machine guns." Shen Ming laughed.
"Sure enough, it's a big joke..." Tie Chain's goodwill disappeared.
"Iie Lian, I'll be away for a few days, how is everything going at home?" Although Xun Jinyin received text messages from everyone every day, he still wanted to hear Yizi's words.
"It should be said that it is relatively peaceful. All departments are operating normally, but the performance of the stealing department has dropped a lot. There is no way, after all, their head-"steel bars" were thrown into the Huangpu River last week, which is a big blow to them. When Tie Lian talked about his brother's death, his tone was slightly sad.
"Understood, let's go around first, and take a look at our work with the copper lock." Xun Jinyin leaned on the back seat, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window in silence.
After leaving the Pudong Airport, the refitted Regal car walked all the way to the central area of the city. Although there was a lot of traffic when it came to Chenghuang Temple, the iron chain still found a gap and stopped in. It was facing the overcrowded tourist area. Tourists from all over the world crowded this famous scenic spot, crowded heads can be seen everywhere, young and old couples hugging uncles, holding crab roe soup dumplings to take pictures and swiping Weibo everywhere.
Shen Ming looked sideways, and it was obvious that a group of people were shuttling back and forth in this crowd. There are 6 of them in total, carrying out the theft activities in a rhythmic and organized way. The old man who was holding a map and pretending to ask for directions, but removed the lens of a tourist's SLR camera under the map, and the young girl who gently brushed your shoulder attracted you. When you look sideways, the guy from the other side has already touched the watch on your wrist.
They act quickly and without sloppiness. Those who cover, those who receive the goods, those who shoot, and those who look for the target, each link is closed and combined. What's even more frightening is that these pickpockets don't look like pickpockets. Some of them are fashionable girls, some are kind old people, and some can even talk to foreigners with at least level 6 of professional English, and at the end they take away their wallets .
The efficiency of that kind of wanton poaching is so high that almost no one is spared wherever it passes, like a bloodless fight, completely breaking Shen Ming's consistent thinking about traditional theft. In his opinion, a thief should be a rogue-headed mouse, walking quickly on the street, seeing the target posted on it, running away if he succeeds, and threatening passers-by to shut up by force if he is not found.
But looking at the pickpocketing shown by the old gold and silver hunters now, it is simply a show, or the sublimation of pickpocketing skills.
