C21 Cable Theft
Uncle Dian introduced Li Erneng and Mao Yufei to a new garbage station, where the two of them threw out a lot of broken cables to exchange for a lot of money.
Da Fei immediately became jealous and insisted on participating, so the two of them could only agree.
After the sky turned dark, Da Fei drove the van to the construction site. Mao Yufei led the way in front. They used the same method to open the lock on the wall and slipped in.
The pile of garbage in front of them increased again. Da Fei said, "I came right. I don't know when you two will be able to do it alone."
Mao Yufei replied, "Cut the crap. Hurry up and start work. We have to finish work before these workers get off work!"
Li Erneng and Dafei, one holding a shovel and the other holding a steel fork, got to work. There were a lot of waste cardboard boxes and plastic in the garbage, but they were thinking about the cables buried in the soil at the bottom.
At four o'clock, the two of them had already rummaged through the garbage on the ground and started digging.
Dafei asked, "Erneng, could there be cables in the soil too?"
"Yeah, I found bundles of cables below. Both of them are buried in the soil. There are quite a few of them!"
Since the soil was overturned, digging it up did not take much effort. They soon dug up the cables. Dafei was covered in dirt, but he saw the bundles of cables. He immediately pulled the bundles of cables outwards with all his might. But he couldn't pull them away.
Li Er was able to do so because: "This bundle of cables can't be a communication wire buried underground, right?"
"How is that possible? If it's a communication cable, there will be warning posts on the ground! " Dafei handed the shovel to Li Erneng and pulled out the machete from his waist. He cut off one end of the cable, revealing a yellow copper wire.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and break that end as well. Let's hurry back and deliver the goods!"
Li Er could use a shovel to cut off the other end of the bundle of cables buried in the earth. Then, he grabbed the rope that Feathersoar had dropped down and crawled out of the pit, pulling the bundle of cables up again.
Mao Yufei instructed, "Da Fei, hurry up and send these cables to the car. Secondly, fill up the pit. Don't let anyone else discover it!"
The two of them answered. Dafei carried the bundle of cables and walked towards the gate of the wall. Mao Yufei also carried the sack and followed behind.
Li Second could wave the shovel and fill the pit with garbage. At that moment, a construction worker walked over. He was only planning to pee, but when he heard the noise, he hurriedly shouted, "Who's there?"
He was so scared that he trembled and quickly replied, "I'm a scavenger!"
The construction worker walked over and scolded him with a suspicious look, "How did you come in? Outsiders are not allowed to enter here!"
Li Er hurriedly said, "Then I'll leave now!" He carried the shovel and quickly left. The worker followed him to the iron gate of the wall. Li Er quickly got into the van and ordered Dafei to drive quickly.
The worker remembered the license plate number of the van and returned to the construction site.
Inside the van, Mao Yufei noticed Li Ereng's unusual condition and asked, "You look panicked. Did someone find you?"
Li Ereng answered truthfully, "A worker just found me. This can't be considered as stealing, right?"
Mao Yufei comforted him, "We are picking up garbage from garbage, turning waste into treasure, and recycling resources for a second time. How can it be stolen? Moreover, it was Uncle Dian who introduced us! "
They returned to Qi Tu's waste purchase station. Li Er was able to carry the cable and was about to get out of the car. Mao Yufei stopped him and said, "Let's not take out this bundle of cable first. We'll take it out after we peel it off. The price will be higher! "
Da Fei chimed in, "Big Sis is really thoughtful. This way, Qi Tu won't deduct the weight of the cables!"
The three of them got out of the car and only took out the scrap metal, cardboard boxes, and waste plastic from the gunny sack to hand over the goods. Just as Qi Tu was about to pay, Uncle Dian rushed back with the rest of the people. He took the money from Qi Tu's hands and asked, "Why is it only so little? Are you guys slacking off?"
Da Fei wanted to argue, but Mao Yufei stopped him and said to Uncle Dian, "Today, the construction site poured a lot of garbage, but most of them were broken bricks and cement blocks. Not only did it take a lot of time and effort to organize them, but there were also few things that were recycled. We will continue to pick them up tomorrow! "
Uncle Dian looked at Li Er and noticed his evasive gaze. Then he understood something. He took out three red notes and handed them to him. "Take this money and spend it first. Don't lose money, Miss Mao!"
Mao Yufei snatched the money from Li Erneng's hands and said to Uncle Dian, "I can keep this money for him first. It's not safe for him to keep it!"
Mao Yufei asked Da Fei to drive to the old residence. They moved the cable from the car to the main hall. After closing the door, they started peeling the wire.
Li Erneng peeled the wire and asked Mao Yufei, "Is this considered a private stash?"
Mao Yufei replied, "No, it's not. You dug these cables from underground, not from the garbage heap. Uncle Dian is only responsible for recycling the garbage in the garbage heap. The underground is an unexpected harvest for us!"
"You two hurry up and skin the cables. I'll go and buy you some breakfast!"
Mao Yufei left the old residence. Da Fei took out a machete and chopped at the bundle of cables. He immediately cut open a large number of holes in the plastic skin of the wires. With these holes, it would be even easier to skin them.
When Mao Yufei returned with breakfast, a large pile of cables had already been peeled off on the ground.
"You two are not slow at all! Stop first and eat something!"
The two of them took the steamed buns and fried dough sticks and wolfed them down. After they had eaten their fill, Li Er asked, "Are we going to sell these cables to Qi Tu?"
"Are you stupid? Of course not. Otherwise, Uncle Dian will know that we are secretly hoarding goods!" Dafei taught him a lesson.
Li Er was doubtful. "Then we are still secretly storing goods. This is not good, right?"
Mao Yufei sorted out the copper wire that had been peeled and said, "I also know the owner of a waste purchase station. He offers more money and is safer. Uncle Ding won't know about it!"
At noon, the three of them had already peeled off the skin of the cables and put them into woven bags before transporting them back to the van.
Mao Yufei said, "Take out these copper wires. I'll treat the two of you to some barbeque!"
Dafei was also very excited and asked, "Big Sis, after selling the money, you can't lose my share. I also put in a lot of effort, and I even kept this secret!"
Just as they drove out of the town, a police car entered the town. Old Mo got out of the car with Song Gang and Shao Ying, and then asked the people in the town about a gray van.
Soon, the three of them found the old residence. Shao Ying looked through the crack in the door to the main hall and saw the wire skin on the floor of the hall. He said, "Old Mo, there's a situation inside. There's a pile of wire skin in the hall!"
Old Mo let Song Gang climb over the wall and go in to investigate.
Song Gang swiftly flipped over the wall and entered the hall. He picked up some string belts and showed them to his colleagues.
"This is the stolen cable skin. We're a step late!" Old Mo was a little depressed.
Shao Ying analyzed, "This group of thieves didn't seem to have fled in panic after detecting it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have locked the yard door so easily. They would have definitely returned here!"
"Then we'll guard here and arrest them!"
The three of them returned to the police car, and Song Gang started to turn around. Old Mo's phone rang in his pocket, and he answered. He immediately said to Song Gang, "The monitoring center found the van that stole the cable, and it's heading towards the Southern Suburbs. Let's go after it! "
No.
