Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 17: 1 week to reach others for 1 year

   Put away the cash, and followed the waiter upstairs to stay in a business room for $5 a night.

   Early the next morning, Li Changheng checked out and got in a taxi. He complained in Spanish about the bad things in the hotel.

   The driver recommended a hotel with his heart, and just like that, Li Changheng took a taxi and entered a hotel with a personal check of 100 dollars when he opened the room.

   Then when the other party checked in, he took the cash and went to the place where he called specifically on the grounds of making a call to notify the colleague.

   A few minutes later, pretending to be depressed, hung up the phone, went to the door and asked the porter where he stayed at the hotel yesterday, and then left with a suitcase with an apologetic face.

   And what he asked the doorman, it quickly reached the ears of the lobby manager.

   The manager immediately understood that Li Changheng was embarrassed just now, so he didn’t ask him. As for why Li Changheng would leave when the room was about to be opened,

   After a little brainstorming, I knew that it must be someone else in the crew who had already checked into the hotel where the business was robbed.

   Li Changheng, who is only the deputy captain, is not surprising that he will be affected by the captain.

   The dissatisfaction in the lobby manager's heart was aimed at Li Changheng, and at the same time he resented the non-existent captain and the hotel where Li Changheng stayed yesterday.

   And Li Changheng went down in one day and wandered around 31 hotels. In addition to spending 100 US dollars, he received three thousand US dollars in cash.

   It is a pity that although Rio is also a tourist city at this time, its scale is not comparable to that of later generations, and there are not so many high-end hotels for him to withdraw money.

   Going to a mid-to-low-end hotel is not in line with his status as a captain, and he might not accept foreign checks.

   At night at the most famous seaside in Rio, eating a seafood feast with the sea breeze blowing, and looking at the 4 to 5 kilometers long beach, sweeping back and forth.

   From time to time, I saw a Latin American girl who was so good that she was in an explosion. He wanted to stay for a few days to relax. After thinking about it, for safety reasons, he went to the airport and took a short flight to Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo.

   Then as in Rio, every time you enter a hotel, you need to exchange 100 dollars first.

   However, he didn't make any excuses not to open the room this time. Instead, he wasted a ten-dollar deposit. He stayed in an ordinary hotel room for half an hour before leaving for another one.

   This can greatly dispel the hotel's suspicion. When the hotel finds that he has not checked out, he will leave, at least one day or two days later. At that time, he was no longer in Sao Paulo.

   In two days, after visiting 30 hotels, Li Changheng took 2,600 US dollars and left Sao Paulo for the third largest city in Brazil, which is the city of El Salvador that he used to lie before.

When    continued to earn $2,600 and left, there were only 10 cheques left in his chequebook, but he was carrying $8,200.

   A week or so, I get a year's income from a middle-class family in Los Angeles.

   And in the rich area where he worked with Frank before, the best house is about 300,000 US dollars, and the middle 80,000 to 150,000.

   A house in a middle-class community is between 10,000 and 50,000.

   That is to say, if it is Argentina, Chile and other rich countries in Latin America, you can directly buy a 200 square meter three-story villa with a large lawn.

   Even if he puts his goal in the bank, his income will double or triple.

   The money is so good that he doesn't know whether he should stop or not.

   As for jewellery, coffee, fur, etc., he has to sell it back to the United States if he buys it. At this time, he has made several times the money.

  While staying in the airport waiting for the plane to New York, in the shopping mall in the airport, I saw a toy store, on the floor glass next to the aisle, among various airplane toys.

   There is exactly a 707 on the rear wing of the plane, with a Pan American blue globe logo affixed to it.

   Seeing this, Li Changheng was taken aback for a moment, then walked into the toy store with joy, and bought this obviously expensive toy airplane for $5.

   Then, enduring his excitement, he walked into the bathroom of the airport, closed a partition door, and dipped the toy airplane into the water tank.

   Ten minutes later, the Pan American trademark, which was soaked in water, was easily torn off by him carefully and pasted on a blank check.

   I sandwiched this check in a novel for entertainment, pressed it under the bottom of the suitcase, then broke the toy airplane with one hand, left the bathroom with the suitcase, and threw the broken toy airplane into the trash can.

   walked out of the airport and checked into the hotel next to the airport.

   Followed the doorman into the luxurious single room, Li Changheng took out the five-dollar bill, and said to the doorman with bright eyes, "I need a typewriter, and it must be a multifunctional magnetic ink typewriter."

   The door hesitated and said, "Ordinary typewriters are fine, but magnetic ink typewriters are just...".

   It’s normal for the hotel to borrow a typewriter. The only trouble is that the magnetic ink typewriter is usually used to fill in checks.

   But this is Brazil. Wait for Li Changheng to pass the five-dollar bill to the doorman, and then pass a ten-dollar bill to UU reading www.uukanshu. Com put it on the table, and the doorman immediately understood what he meant.

   The magnetic ink typewriter is on that table, and the ten-dollar bill belongs to him.

   For the sake of money, this is nothing at all.

For Li Changheng, as long as his fake paycheck is not exchanged in this hotel or in El Salvador, with the outdated communication system of this era, the news is known to the doorman in front of him. Two years.

   At that time, where could the doorman be, he clearly recalled his appearance.

   After half an hour, a typewriter with a style different from the normal typewriter appeared in front of him.

   The doorman who took away ten dollars in cash on the table asked flatly, "Do you need me to show you how to do it?"

   "Yeah", Li Changheng nodded, and after 5 minutes, he walked away the doorman with bright eyes, even putting aside the thought of forging checks.

   found paper and pencils in the desk drawer of the guest room, traced the Italian trademark on the typewriter, and carefully put it in his jacket pocket.

   immediately called the hotel reception and asked them to check the flight time to Rome.

   lay on the bed with excitement, secretly cursing that he had forgotten the handmade objects.

  Of course, there are pure handmade products in the United States, but too high industrialization will cause many handmade merchants to be squeezed into bankruptcy.

   And Italy is a country where handicrafts are prevalent in itself and the degree of industrialization is not high. It is really not too simple to customize a typewriter with special requirements from customers.

   And this manual typewriter from ten years ago is the best proof.

   Or for the sake of confidentiality, you can figure out the principle of the typewriter by yourself, and find a few craftsmen separately for the reason of the damage of the spare parts, and finally assemble it by himself.
