Don't borrow your phone

One night last winter, after several days of overtime, I finally found time to go home and take a look. After I finished dinner, I went to the balcony to get some air and check if my wife was back. My family lived on the street, and I accidentally looked down through the window glass, and suddenly I saw a man wearing glasses on the street outside the community, his sleeves folded and his neck shrunk, constantly looking around. At first, I thought he was waiting for a bus, but when several taxis passed by, some of them tried to slow down as they passed him, but he didn't show any sign of getting on the bus. It was a cold day, and it was getting late. What was this "glasses man" going to do?

I was puzzled when I suddenly saw the "glasses man" waving at a passerby who was walking in front of him. The passerby hesitated for a moment and walked over. I saw the "glasses man" say a few words, and the passerby was stunned. Then, the "glasses man" reached out to the passerby, and the passerby quickly waved his hand and left in panic.

What is this guy up to? Is he pretending to be a beggar or a traveler who has lost his wallet to cheat money? Out of professional sensitivity, I stared at him intently.

After a while, a tall man in a fur coat walked in the direction of the "glasses man" while making a phone call. The "glasses man" immediately greeted the tall man and called him "big brother". Because the words were loud and the night was quiet, I heard them from upstairs. The tall man stopped and said something, probably asking, why are you stopping me? The "glasses man" pointed to the tall man's mobile phone and answered a few words. Although I couldn't hear clearly, according to my judgment, the "glasses man" meant to borrow the tall man's mobile phone to use. As a result, the tall man waved his hand vigorously and left without looking back.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but show a mocking smile: This kind of trick has been exposed many times in newspapers and TV, who would be fooled?

At that time, I saw my wife riding a bicycle in the distance. "The man with glasses" suddenly opened his hands and stopped her. No, did this guy think that the purpose of deception could not be achieved, so he changed to robbing? I quickly flew downstairs and rushed to the outside of the community, just ten meters away from them, hiding in the dark to observe the movement. As long as my wife is in a little danger, I will rush over without hesitation.

I just heard the "glasses man" say in a stuttering voice, " I, I really lost my phone, and I only remember my friend's phone number. I don't remember where he lives, so I want to call my friend and ask him to come out and pick me up. This kind lady, I really don't mean any harm, just let me use your phone."

Of course, the wife did not lose her vigilance. She looked at the "glasses man" and said calmly, "You said you just came from abroad, so where is your passport?" The "glasses man" spread his hands and said, "Well, I, I forgot to bring it with me..." The wife's tone became cold: "If you can't prove what you said is true, then I'm sorry, I can't lend you my phone casually."

The "glasses man" suddenly reached into his pocket, and I suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but clench my fists. My wife also screamed in surprise: "You, what are you doing?" I saw the "glasses man" take out a few colorful things from his pocket: "I won't use your phone for nothing, I will give you money." The wife snorted: "It's dark, who knows if your money is real or fake? Besides, if you have money, you can buy a mobile phone, why do you do such a thing?"

"What do you mean? You seem to be doubting my character? I'm wondering, is something as simple as borrowing a mobile phone to make a phone call worth so complicated? How about this? I'll tell you my friend's phone number, and you can call me, so that's the head office, right?"

Hearing this, it seems that they are not robbing the mobile phone. Then they must be cheating the phone bill. As long as you use your mobile phone to make a voice call, your troubles will come, and a surprising amount will be deducted from your phone bill every month in the future. Hmph, I can't imagine that they have upgraded from the primary stage of harassing strangers' dreams in the middle of the night to street guerrillas, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

The wife obviously did not let down her guard, and coldly refused, "I'm sorry, my phone is about to be in arrears, so I can only answer it, not call it, or ask your friend to call me." I heard that, and secretly gave my wife a thumbs up: so smart.

"Glasses man" laughed and sighed: "You are really embarrassing! There is no public phone on the street, and you don't lend me your mobile phone. What can I tell my friends to call me?"

At that time, I noticed a man in a trench coat standing near a seat not far from the "man in glasses." Although he didn't speak, he kept watching motionlessly. No, this guy has accomplices. Although I haven't grasped their clear criminal intentions, if they use violence, it will be beyond my control.

So I walked out of the dark, waved my hand to my wife, and said loudly, "Qin, I've cooked dinner for you. What are you doing here?" My wife said, "He insisted on borrowing my phone." I said, "Isn't that easy? I know there's a place nearby where I can make a phone call. I'll take him there." As I walked past my wife, I winked at her, and she understood and said, "Come back early."

I led the way in front, and the "glasses man" followed behind, and his accomplices followed from a distance. After turning a few alleys, the "glasses man" became impatient: "Big brother, why haven't you arrived yet?" I replied: "Soon, I will be there soon, there is a yard in front." The "glasses man" was very happy: "Big brother, I finally met a kind person. I just said, a little thing, how can no one help?" Saying that, I had led him into a yard, bypassing the wall, and the "glasses man" saw a police car parked in the yard at a glance, and immediately screamed: "Big brother, where is this?" I said quietly: "Didn't I tell you? This place is good, you want to make a call, it's sure to be fine. "Saying that, a grappling hand pressed the" glasses man "to the ground, and at the same time called out to two colleagues:" There is an accomplice of his outside, go! "Naturally, his accomplice was also arrested.

I brought the "man in glasses" into the interrogation room. The "man in glasses" had not yet gotten out of the accident just now, and asked me with trembling lips: "Brother, are you a policeman?" I looked at him with a playful look and asked, "Didn't you expect it?" Then my face changed, and I said sternly, "What are you trying to do, be honest!"

"Alas, I really regret it..." The "man in glasses" sighed and began to talk about the cause and effect of the incident. He said that he read a report on the Internet that said that one winter many years ago, a female international student returned to China from Washington to join a friend. Because the plane was delayed, she told her friend not to pick him up, so she took a taxi directly. But the international student only found the community where her friend lived, but forgot the specific unit and house number. At that time, she only had her friend's phone number in her hand, and she was in a hurry to look for a phone to call her friend, but she couldn't find it. After waiting for a long time, she finally waited for an unusually dressed gentleman with a mobile phone in his hand, who walked over while making a call. The international student waited for the man to finish calling and explain the truth. He thought he would get help immediately, but unexpectedly, the man didn't even think about it, said "no", and left the extremely embarrassed and disappointed female student in a hurry.

I impatiently interrupted the "glasses man": "Okay, I'm not listening to you tell me stories, tell me about yourself." The "glasses man" said with a bitter face: "Hey, big brother, I can't help it, I have to tell you, if there was no female student, there would be no such thing as me today." As a police officer, I often encounter all kinds of suspects, so I had to bite the bullet and nod: "Okay, you can keep it short."

"Glasses Man" went on to say that fortunately, the friend of the female international student saw that she had not arrived for a long time, so he ran down to pick her up by himself, so that she was free from freezing. As a result, the female international student was filled with emotion, and said that if he was abroad, the man would stop calling and ask her if she needed help. Speaking of this, "Glasses Man" finally turned to the main topic: "After reading this post, I am quite angry, isn't this worshipping foreigners? Today, I had dinner with one of my buddies and talked about it again, but the buddies said that I can't blame others for complaining, this is how things are. I didn't agree with him, so the two of us made a bet that if I could find someone on the street who would lend me a mobile phone, I would win, and my brother would lose me 1,000 yuan. If I couldn't find it, I would lose, and my brother would only win me 500 yuan. Brother Police, you said, to me, this is a good deal, and a fool would not agree, so you saw it, and I started this boring game today... "

I was dubious about the explanation of the "glasses man". At this time, my colleague sent the transcript of the "glasses man" accomplice, and what the two said could be matched. It seems that this is really a false alarm caused by the bet.

The family of the "bespectacled man" came to the police station and took him and his friend away. Originally, before I left, I wanted to warn him that he should not play such a game that is easily misunderstood in the future, but when I said it, I swallowed it back...
