Lost and Spy

Chapter 3445 The police come to the door
"This is good for the teacher's meal today."

As soon as You Daoxiu said this, Li Zhifeng became curious: "Why?"

"You probably don't know this." You Daoxiu said with a smile, "Many people like to eat this Philippine shrimp paste with fresh seasonal vegetables. It's delicious. But now most of the seasonal vegetables in Manila are provided to the government and Americans, and they are expensive."

Li Zhifeng frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Just before you came, I saw Mrs. Marcelo cut a big piece of meat." You Daoxiu said, "Tsk tsk," That piece of meat is not cheap."

something wrong.

Before, You Daoxiu said that these people were living in poverty and destitution, which was completely different from before the war broke out.

Despite the preferential policies, after being exploited again and again, the money left in their pockets is pitifully small.

I can only make a living.

And looking at it now, Marcelo and his wife's life doesn't seem so difficult?

Li Zhifeng was still a little worried: "Brother, how did Marcelo and his wife live before?"

"What can I do? I'm not like most people." You Daoxiu curled his lips and said, "There's only one day left, so I'll just live one day at a time. I guess I don't know where I found the money recently."

Li Zhifeng nodded.

You Daoxiu added, "Speaking of which, tomorrow is the day when the municipal government will distribute subsidies to them. Brother, don't come tomorrow. Hey, don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to drive you away.

It’s true that every Monday at this time, the police know that they have distributed subsidies, and they will definitely come to extort money. As for me, the fire in the city gate will also affect the innocent people, so every time at this time, I simply don’t open the door.”

Li Zhifeng smiled: "That's great, I have something to do tomorrow."

……

Marcelo got up early in the morning.

In theory, the mayor treats these teachers quite well and gives them subsidies every week.

But after this little bit of money is exploited layer by layer, there is little left in their hands.

But that’s not all. Once the money is in hand, the police will be like dogs’ noses and will come to your door as soon as they smell it.

With so much going on, how much of the money will be left?

Sometimes, Marcelo simply didn't want to receive it.

But he could only think about it in his mind.

Although the amount of money he received was pitifully small, it could at least ensure the survival of himself and his wife.

There is one more point that is most important.

If you really don't want to collect the money, the police will not care whether you go to get the money or not when they come to your door. They will definitely get the money anyway.

When the time comes, what will I use to get rid of these plague gods?

I waited in line for almost two hours to get the money.

Marcelo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the few pitiful bills he had gotten, and thought that once he got home, most of them would be gone in a short while, so he sighed.

On the way back, Marcelo gritted his teeth and bought a pack of cigarettes even though he didn't smoke.

……

"came back."

Seeing her husband coming back, Mrs. Marcelo greeted him and said, "You must have had a hard time on the journey."

Marcelo smiled bitterly.

Marcelo took out the newly earned money from his pocket and pointed out three bills to his wife.

The rest was put back into his pocket.

Mrs. Marcelo said nothing.

Sure enough, within half an hour, there were knocks on the door.

The couple looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

What is meant to come will always come.

Mrs. Marcello returned to the bedroom.

Marcelo opened the door.

Sure enough, there were three policemen standing outside.

Two of them were familiar faces, and there was a tall and big guy whom Marcelo had never seen before.

He must be a new policeman.

The leading policeman was called Cuca. He used to be a gangster. When the Manila Police Department began to expand, all these gangsters were transformed into policemen.

What kind of world is this?

Kuka seemed to have returned to his own home. He didn't need the owner to greet him at all. He swaggered into the house and sat down: "Mr. Marcelo, you have worked hard today."

"Not hard, not hard."

Marcelo smiled and poured each of them a glass of water. He took out the cigarettes he had just bought, unpacked them, and handed them each one respectfully.

Kuka lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said nothing more.

At this time, Marcelo took out the bill from his pocket and handed it to Kuka.

Kuka nodded: "Why is it missing?"

"That's all I got." Marcelo said with a sad face, "If you don't believe me, you can ask around."

Kuka snorted coldly and collected the bill: "Forget it this time, but don't give less next time."

Marcelo didn't expect that the policeman would be so easy to talk to today.

Normally, the police should leave after getting the money.

But today, Kuka was in no hurry to leave: "Let me ask you something. Have you seen your neighbor Blore recently?"

"Who?" Marcelo was stunned.

Kuka reminded him: "It's the one with two wives."

"It's him." Marcelo suddenly realized: "Sir, I usually don't associate with them, but I think I haven't seen him for a few days."

As he said this, he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him: "Sir, I don't know him very well, but these few days, I have seen his two wives go shopping alone, so I think he may not have come back for a few days."

Then, he asked cautiously, "Sir, is there anything wrong with him?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Kuka said sternly, "If you see Blore coming back, report to me immediately. There will be a reward."

"Yes, sir, of course, sir."

Kuka then stood up.

Marcelo escorted the three policemen out.

Seeing them leave, Marcelo quickly closed the door, leaned against it and took a deep breath.

……

"Sir, what do you think?"

When they were a certain distance away from Marcelo's house, Kuca immediately changed his expression and spoke to the tall policeman in a flattering manner.

Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "Very good. I will say a few good words for you in front of your captain."

Kuka was overjoyed.

This is the US military.

As long as I can gain their favor, isn't it only a matter of time before I rise to the top?
So, when Li Zhifeng found him and asked him to do something for him, Kuka felt that his chance had come.

He asked tentatively: "Sir, has Marcelo committed a crime? This guy is very timid. Let's scare him and he will confess everything."

"No need." Li Zhifeng shook his head. "Find two capable people, lead them yourself, and monitor this place 24 hours a day. If there are any strangers coming from Marcelo's house, arrest them immediately."

"Okay, sir, leave this little thing to me!"
