I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 112 "You have accomplished something this time."

"Where are the two counterfeit bills?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Let me show you." Liu Yadong immediately took out two banknotes carefully from the sealed drawer.

They all start with "HD90"!
Fang Qingye picked it up again and felt it carefully. It felt exactly the same as the one the fat woman had given him yesterday, so he said, "President Xia, the counterfeit bill I saw yesterday is almost identical to this one."

"Immediately retrieve the surveillance video of this person! Seal it, and report the matter to the city branch!" Xia He made the decision immediately.

"I think we should call the police about this." Fang Qingye reminded.

"Okay, Director Liu, call 110!"

Ten minutes later, shrill sirens sounded outside and two police officers hurried into the business hall.

Xia He and Fang Qingye came out to greet them.

Ah?
It was the police officer Li Jun from yesterday.

Li Jun also recognized Fang Qingye and said with a smile, "President Fang, we were just about to inform you that you have made a great contribution this time."

"Comrade from Public Security, come in and talk." Fang Qingye hurriedly took the two of them to the office in the back. There were several people doing business in the business hall.

When he arrived at the office, Li Jun told the story of interrogating the fat woman yesterday.

The fat woman is called Wu Caixia. She lives in Xiaoxigang Village in the county town and is unemployed. Some time ago, she bought ten counterfeit banknotes from a man at half the face value. She defrauded small supermarkets and tobacco shops on the roadside without being discovered. Yesterday, she bought eggs in the market again, but was unexpectedly recognized by Fang Qingye who passed by.

"Did Wu Caixia confess the man who sold him the counterfeit money?" Fang Qingye asked.

"She said she didn't know him, but described the man's appearance," said Li Jun.

"We just called the police. We also happened to encounter a man depositing money with us and receiving counterfeit bills. Our President Xia suspects the bank is using counterfeit bills to obtain real money. Could you please take a look at the video? Does it match what Wu Caixia described?"

"it is good!

Xia He immediately took two police officers to the bank's internal monitoring room and retrieved the video footage from the business hall. Sure enough, they saw a man coming to the counter to make a deposit.

"Thin, short, with a pointed face, exactly like Wu Caixia's description!" Li Jun said as he examined her carefully, "But we need to bring Wu Caixia here for on-site identification."

"Yes, Public Security Comrade, our bank is ready to cooperate at any time!" Xia He immediately expressed his position.

Things developed as everyone expected. Wu Caixia was taken to the bank and after watching the video, she immediately identified the man as the one who sold her the counterfeit money.

The public security department immediately identified the man based on the depositor information provided by the bank and notified the entire city for joint investigation.

On the bank side, the Jinghai branch reported the matter to the provincial branch, and also to the Municipal Banking Regulatory Bureau and the People's Bank of China. Based on the information fed back by the Dongfang branch and the public security system, the Municipal Banking Regulatory Bureau immediately informed all banks within its jurisdiction of the man's bank account name and requested them to be highly vigilant.

Three days later, the man repeated his previous act while withdrawing cash from a branch of the Construction Bank of Wuyang County. Bank staff discovered him and immediately notified their colleagues to quietly call the police while engaging in a conversation with the man to stall for time. Five minutes later, police arrived and apprehended the man. The case is still under investigation.

A counterfeit currency case that shocked the whole country revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Today is January 24th, the last working day before spring, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

After the meeting in the afternoon, everyone except those on duty was given a holiday.

Xia He came to Fang Qingye's office and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, Xiao Fang, you have a good start."

It turned out that at the meeting just now, Xia He read a letter of praise from the municipal branch, praising Fang Qingye, Zhang Rong and others for their wit and bravery in combating criminals and maintaining the reputation of the unit.

"You've already praised me at the conference, so there's no need to repeat it. Why not do something practical?" Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"There will definitely be benefits! I have discussed with President Su, and each of you will be rewarded 2000 yuan!" That's about right.

2000 yuan doesn't mean anything to me, but Zhang Rong must be very happy.

"Hey, Xiao Fang, how are you planning to celebrate the New Year?" Xia He changed the subject.

"How are we celebrating the New Year? Just like usual, visiting relatives and friends, eating and drinking. This New Year's celebration is even more tiring than usual!" Fang Qingye said.

"Then I'll just help you take charge of the class, so you can spend the New Year without worrying about work." Xia He said.

Fang Qingye was surprised when he heard this.

"Senior, are you planning to stay at work during the New Year?"

It turns out that during the Spring Festival, in addition to the business outlets shortening their business hours, the branch compound also needs someone on duty, and of course there must be a leader to lead the shift.

Fang Qingye was now also considered a leader, and he, Xia He, and Su Ming were on duty. Of course, the leaders on duty did not need to be on duty, but only needed to be on standby 24 hours a day, and could not leave Nanxin. If something happened, they had to return to the unit immediately.

This was nothing for Su Ming and Fang Qingye. Their home was in Nanxin anyway, and they had no plans to travel far during the Spring Festival. All they had to do was not get drunk while on duty.

But Xia He's home is in Huijing, so she has to return to Nanxin during her shift. Otherwise, if there is an emergency and she can't get back, and something goes wrong, she, as the leader of the shift, will be considered to have abandoned her post, and the consequences will be quite serious.

Fang Qingye and Su Ming discussed not letting Xia He take charge of the shift, and they divided the eight days of duty between them, but Xia He firmly disagreed, so she was scheduled to take charge of the shift on the sixth and seventh days of the Lunar New Year, the last two days of the Spring Festival, which means that she can only take six days off during the Spring Festival.

But what was unexpected was that Xia He now offered to help Fang Qingye lead the class!

Xia He listened to Fang Qingye's doubts and said with a smile: "It's not fun to stay at home during the New Year anyway. Didn't you just say that you are more tired than usual? You might as well come to work."

Even if it is more tiring than usual, it still has to go on. Who wants to be on duty?

"Senior sister, is there something wrong at home?" Fang Qingye asked tentatively.

"No, what could be the problem? I just feel bored at home." Xia He's expression was normal.

Fang Qingye felt something was wrong.

But this is someone else's private matter, and I can't ask about it unless Xia He says anything.

But no matter what, I must never agree to be the one to lead the class in my place.

"Okay then, if you have something urgent and can't take charge of the class, just call me and I'll take over. Nothing can go wrong in the unit!" Xia He said.

Even if I want to find Su Ming, I can't find you and ask you to rush back from Huijing.

But this kindness must be appreciated, so Fang Qingye said thank you.

We finally have a holiday on New Year’s Eve.

This day is called the "half-day market." In the morning, the streets of the county town are bustling with people coming and going. In the afternoon, most shops are closed, the number of pedestrians on the streets suddenly decreases, and the entire county town seems to be empty all of a sudden.

Fang Qingye actually didn't have much to do that day. She just helped her elders with housework and prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

In fact, my mother Zhang Meili is not very good at cooking, so Fang Qingye drove early to invite my grandparents from the nursery to her home.

During the Chinese New Year, the family gets together and I also help with cooking.
