Chapter 18 Receiving Stolen Goods, Plotting to Steal from the Shop
Upon hearing this, Mi Gang and Yan Tong's eyes lit up. The longer they dealt with Lin Long, the clearer they became that he was no ordinary person. Just the little bit of benefit he slipped through his fingers was enough to feed the two of them.
"Brother Long, just give the order, we'll do whatever you say." Mi Gang quickly stepped forward.
Lin Long exhaled a cigar ring and said in a deep voice, "There's a guy on Tongde Street called Black Ghost Feng. I beat him to a pulp. Now he's selling off two units at a low price, trying to cash out and run away."
"Go and buy these two units. I've asked him, and he's in a hurry to sell. He's only offering one million for each unit, while the market price is currently one million five to two million."
"Brother Long, we can't come up with that much money." Mi Gang and Yan Tong said helplessly. Although they stole quite a lot every month, as thieves, they were used to spending money lavishly and couldn't save any money at all.
Lin Long shook his head: "Let me finish explaining. I'll pay for it; you two just need to handle the paperwork."
"After it's done, one unit will be named after Annie, and the other one you two can decide on yourselves."
"I'll give you two options: First, I'll consider the money as my investment. If you use it for business, I'll take 70% of the monthly income; if you don't use it for business and just live there, you'll pay me rent every month, at 80% of the market price."
"Secondly, after you buy it, transfer it back to my name, and I'll give each of you 50,000 yuan as a service fee."
"You two can study it."
Lin Long allowed the rice jar and cigarettes to be chosen together. As for Annie, she was Lin Long's person, and this unit was a gift for her.
Annie clearly understood Lin Long's meaning, and her face beamed with joy.
Rice Jar and Smoke Streamer exchanged a glance; this was indeed a significant benefit.
Although Lin Long got a larger share, he was the one who provided the money and the opportunity, so taking 70% is not excessive at all.
If the business fails, they can still rent a place to live, and the rent is cheaper than the market price. They can finally have their own place and no longer have to live with their master.
As for the second option, they ruled it out immediately.
Fifty thousand yuan is a lot, but not much either. With a little effort, they could steal it in half a month.
"Brother Long, we'll work for you," Mi Gang and Yan Tong said earnestly.
Lin Long nodded in satisfaction; his goal was for the two of them to choose the first option.
That way, they can distance themselves from Blackie Feng's disappearance.
Although the police couldn't find any evidence, it's better to avoid trouble.
There are quite a few stubborn people in the police force, and if he happens to encounter one who is determined to fight him to the death, he will also feel uncomfortable.
"By the way, Brother Long, there are still some things here that need to be sold." Mi Gang handed over a black bag.
The three of them used to only steal cash, but since they started paying a certain amount, they've taken on a side business of stealing gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jade.
However, since they had no way to sell the stolen goods, they could only hand them over to Lin Long to handle. They split the proceeds 30% and Lin Long took 70%.
Lin Long opened the bag and glanced at it. It still contained a large gold chain, a Rolex gold watch, a diamond necklace, and a gold ring—these were all high-quality items worth a considerable amount of money.
"Hey, 99% genuine, a rare find." Lin Long pulled out a Dupont Ligne 2 18K gold Parisian nail lighter from a pile of jewelry: "This thing is worth thirty or forty thousand."
Yan Tong quickly pulled out a cigar box from underneath and handed it to him: "Brother Long, there's this too. I found it along with the lighter."
Lin Long took it and weighed it in his hand. He was used to dealing in stolen goods, so he had a good eye. This was a Dupont 18K gold cigar box, which matched the Parisian nail lighter. It was worth around HK$150,000 on its own.
"These two are a set, and together they can sell for 200,000."
"I'll take the stuff. I won't take advantage of you." Lin Long pulled out 60,000 yuan in cash from his pocket and threw it into Yan Tong's arms: "Take it."
"Thank you, Brother Long!" Yan Tong grinned. The 60,000 would be split among the three of them, with each person receiving 20,000.
The total amount of cash stolen was 150,000. 45,000 had to be handed over, and each person would get 35,000. Adding the 20,000, that's exactly 55,000.
He and Mi Gang had pooled together 110,000 yuan as capital for their business partnership.
With the unit provided by Lin Long, if everything goes smoothly, he might be able to retire from theft and no longer need to steal.
Lin Long packed his things, got up and led the three of them outside. He opened the trunk of the car and took out a money bag he had prepared in advance, which contained a total of two million.
Mi Gang took the bag and went with Yan Tong and Annie to buy Blackie Feng's unit.
Lin Long was preparing to find a buyer to sell his goods when his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Huang Xin calling, he answered casually: "Feeding?"
"Ah Long, where are you?"
"Central, something wrong?"
"I need to ask you about something."
"You haven't paid me for the informant fee for the Tsim Sha Tsui armored truck robbery yet, and you want to freeload off my information again?" Lin Long teased her deliberately.
"I'm not going to take advantage of you this time; I'm coming to find you."
"No need." Lin Long glanced down at his watch. "Meet me at the Landmark Cinema in Central in half an hour. I've bought the tickets and I'll be waiting for you."
"Okay." Huang Xin agreed and immediately headed to Central.
Lin Long hung up the phone, drove to the Landmark Cinema, and immediately paid for the next showing.
More than twenty minutes later, Huang Xin finally arrived, entered the cinema, and followed the staff's directions to find the hall that Lin Long had booked.
"You book out the whole theater just to watch a movie? What's with all the pomp and circumstance?" Huang Xin rolled her eyes at his extravagance.
"You're a police officer. What if someone sees you hanging out with me and it gets in your way?"
"What's wrong with that? If anyone's going to cause trouble, it should be you." Huang Xin sat down next to Lin Long.
"If they could beat me, they would have come knocking on my door long ago."
"Eating won't shut you up." Lin Long handed over a bucket of popcorn and a bottle of cola.
Huang Xin snorted and took it casually. Come to think of it, it had been a while since the two of them had watched a movie together.
Since their relationship reached that point, the two have had more than one argument because Lin Long acted as an informant.
In the end, neither of them could convince the other.
"By the way, what did you want to see me about?" Lin Long asked.
"A robbery occurred yesterday at Wing Hang Jewellery Company in Cheung Kong Building, Tsim Sha Tsui, resulting in one death and five injuries. The robbers stole jewelry worth HK$1.2 million."
"I was put in charge of this case by my superiors. I spent all day yesterday investigating and found that there are five people in this group, and they are well-trained. This is definitely not their first time committing a crime."
"I believe this group will continue to commit crimes."
"So I wanted to ask you if you have any relevant information."
Lin Long raised an eyebrow, not expecting that this case would fall to Huang Xin.
This is no easy task; the other side consists of ruthless bandits.
If she is not careful, she could very well lose her life.
"Why was such a tricky case assigned to you?" Lin Long asked.
"It was originally supposed to be someone else's responsibility, but I just solved an armored truck robbery, so it was ultimately handed over to me."
"As a result, the permissions were greatly expanded, and the informant fees were approved."
"This is the 1.8 million yuan informant fee for the armored truck case."
Huang Xin handed the box she had brought to Lin Long: "Long, if this case can be solved, I'll give you 15% of the informant fee."
