50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 22: Correct Mistakes
There is no source for this money, and it is difficult to explain once it is taken out. If you don't want to expose the secret of the storage ring, you have to make up more lies to cover it up.

Lies piled on top of lies will eventually be exposed, so it's better not to take them out and keep them as a family asset. Besides, yellow croaker is hard currency, so it will come in handy in the future.

Besides, he now has full authority over the storage ring, and can use it for attack, defense, and assistance in the future, so it will be very easy for him to make money.

So, if he figured it out, it wouldn't be a problem. If anyone asked him about it in the future, he could just tell everyone that he was a loyal soldier and had no interest in money.

A few days later, Lao Zhang came back and handed him twelve certificates of deposit and a handful of change.

The deposit certificates were bearer certificates, each worth 50 yuan, and twelve of them were exactly 600 million yuan. The remaining 33 yuan was exchanged for 33 yuan banknotes.

Sun Zhiwei was a little depressed when he saw that it was a fixed-amount deposit certificate instead of a passbook. There was no name on the deposit certificate. How could he prove in the future that the money was left by his parents?
He will definitely be investigated again when the second set of banknotes are exchanged in the future. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

It seems that Lao Zhang's sense of smell is not sensitive enough. There is no way, he can only tell Lao Zhang the truth.

"Uncle Zhang, in a few years, if someone says I stole this money, how will I explain it?"

"How could this happen? It's okay. I'll prove it to you when the time comes."

"How do you prove it? You're not my accomplice, are you?"

"Nonsense! I can't prove it. I can go to my superiors, but they have their superiors too."

"Wouldn't this be a big deal? It's such a hassle, I might as well donate it all to the organization. Otherwise, it's just like a pile of mud falling off your pants."

"Hey, no, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly do this?"

"Uncle Zhang, there used to be a passbook with my mother's name on it, which can prove the source of the money."

"Now I have these dozen pieces of paper, and I don't have any income. How can I prove that this money is mine and not stolen? I can't explain it."

"Besides, this thing is anonymous. If I lose it, I can't find it back. I might as well donate it."

Old Zhang finally understood what he meant. He angrily knocked him on the head and said, "You little brat, so this is what you're talking about. Can't you just say it directly?"

"Hehe, isn't this saving face for you?" Sun Zhiwei had to rub his forehead, it really hurt.

"Bullshit, I don't care about face at all." Lao Zhang glared at him unhappily.

"Okay, uncle has taken care of this. Go get your household registration and I'll get you a real-name passbook and a certificate from the higher authorities."

"Thank you, uncle, you have worked hard." Sun Zhiwei immediately thanked him loudly without feeling embarrassed at all.

Sun Zhiwei is not embarrassed, but Lao Zhang is embarrassed. He is such a grown-up, but he didn't notice such an obvious hidden danger and needed a child to remind him. It is really wrong.

So, after getting Sun Zhiwei's household registration book, Lao Zhang didn't even drink tea and ran away with the 12 fixed-amount certificates of deposit.

That day, he went to his superior and explained the situation, who then criticized him.

"Xiao Zhang, you meant well this time but acted foolishly. If the young comrade didn't see through it, wouldn't you be harming him in the future?"

"Lingdao, you're right. This is my fault, so I came to you." "Could you please give him a certificate explaining the origin of the money so the bank can open a passbook for him? Xiao Sun is not old enough, so he can't get a passbook without a certificate."

"We should do this. If we can't take good care of these two orphans who are relatives of martyrs, it would be really wrong."

"By the way, Comrades Sun Yushan and Jiang Lili, do you have anything left for the children? Why not do it together today?"

"After they died, their home was ransacked. Now all that's left is an empty small yard, two guns, a pocket watch, and a bracelet."

"The pocket watch and bracelet have been given to the children. The yard is empty because the two children can't live there."

"There were two guns. One was handed over by the child, and the other was redeemed from the pawnshop and has also been handed in."

Lingdao paused in thought after hearing this and said, "That house should still be under the name of Comrade Sun Yushan. Go and change the name to Sun Zhiwei."

"Also, the house was ransacked. What about the missing items? Didn't you take care of them when you were investigating?"

"Um, Lingdao, we've learned about the situation at the time. In addition to the idle people who came to rob, dozens of neighbors were also involved, involving hundreds of people."

"If we really pursue this, the entire street will be cleared out. There's really no way to do it."

Lao Zhang took over the case personally and was fully aware of the situation. He knew it would be difficult to handle if things got out of hand, and he was indeed in a difficult position.

Who knew that Lingdao became even angrier after hearing his explanation.

"You're confused. We're punishing bad guys according to the law. Now, just because there are so many bad guys, you're afraid to arrest them? What kind of bullshit logic is that?"

"If this gets out, and those bad guys think that as long as there are enough of them, we won't dare punish them, and that the law won't hold everyone accountable, then our future work will become even more passive."

Now, Lao Zhang realized the seriousness of the matter and became panic-stricken.

"Lingdao, we made a mistake and we will correct it immediately." Soldiers of this era are brave enough to take responsibility and admit their mistakes.

"That's right. I'm watching your performance. You should focus on this matter today. If you're short on manpower, find someone else. Once the work is done, I'll promote it for you."

"We handle cases in accordance with the law and regulations, and will never bend the law or show leniency."

"You have to do a good job and make this case a benchmark so that other units can follow this standard in handling cases in the future."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

That afternoon, under the leadership of Lao Zhang, based on the investigation results, a group of people from more than 30 nearby households who participated in the robbery of Sun Zhiwei's yard were arrested.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang had the foresight to inform the nearby street office in advance. The street office, Lingdao, specially assigned a group of staff to follow and deal with the aftermath.

After the vehicles left, street workers went from street to street to report the situation, making public the story of the neighbors on Sun Zhiwei's street who had been wiped out.

The residents nearby suddenly realized that the case was not a small one and it had spread throughout the neighborhood.

I heard that gunshots were heard at the time, and four people were carried out afterwards. Even the children of the residents were missing. It can be said to be a major case.
