Chapter 3: A Big Trouble Has Arisen

  When the sky was just beginning to brighten, Ma Tong, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly convulsed all over and then slowly opened his eyes...

  Where am I? Matsumoto, still very dizzy, shook his head hard and took almost ten seconds to recall something. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: wasn't he on patrol last night? How did he suddenly pass out? Was someone secretly following him and knocked him unconscious when he wasn't paying attention?

  Ma Tong was a bit panicked, ignoring the soreness all over his body, he struggled to get up and looked around. It's strange to say that at this time, the warehouse was still very dark, and normally people shouldn't be able to see things clearly, but Ma Tong could see everything around him clearly, even the wood shavings from the small display stand where the golden toilet had been placed were visible in front of his eyes, not to mention the surrounding scene that looked like a typhoon had passed through...

  It's better not to look, but now that I've seen it, Ma Tong is like eating an ice pop in the depths of winter - chilled from head to toe: Oh my! Not only was the golden toilet worth tens of thousands of dollars gone, but many other high-end bathroom products in the room were also smashed to pieces and couldn't be put back together...

  The most outrageous thing is that these unknown thieves actually dismantled the door of this room! Ma Tong found the heavy anti-theft door weighing over 100 kilograms more than ten meters away from the door, under which was an overturned shelf and many broken white ceramic pieces...

  What kind of thief is this? You can steal or rob, even knock me unconscious if you want, but do you have to demolish my house too?!

  Ma Tong painfully closed his eyes: Is this what they mean by "a clay pot can't be kept away from the well, and a general can't avoid dying on the battlefield"?

  I've been a security guard for five or six years, but I've never even dropped a needle from my own hands! This is almost the only thing that makes me proud of myself. Now it's all gone, where's the face?

  He thought he was an honest and reliable young man...

  Damn it, is this lousy heaven even unwilling to let me do a good job as a security guard?

  He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: things had come to this, and painful wailing was of no use. He had to report to the leader first, and then call 110 to report the crime! As for what happened next, it would naturally become clear when the time came!

  Thinking of this, Ma Tong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was about to call his good brother Lü Dahai, but unfortunately found that the screen of his mobile phone had cracked into a spider web shape and couldn't be turned on at all!

  It's really a case of when it rains, it pours! Ma Tong is so anxious that he can't even cry...

  Lü Dahai was the first to arrive, looking at the messy warehouse and then glancing at the scar on Ma Tong's forehead. Lü Dahai took a deep breath and asked worriedly: "Tongzi, is your injury okay?"

  Ma Tong saw Lü Dahai for the first time and didn't blame himself, but was concerned about his own injuries. He felt warmth in his heart and blamed himself, saying: "I'm fine, sorry Dahai, I've caused you a lot of trouble!"

  Lu Dahai, a former scout, shook his head and said in a low voice: "This can't be blamed on you. Before I came, I called the monitoring room and they didn't find anything unusual last night. The surveillance video after 11:30 also shows that no one entered or exited the warehouse area during this time. It can be seen that this is an organized and premeditated crime, and it has nothing to do with you. However, what I'm curious about is that the sales department said the golden toilet was only sold for over 90,000 yuan. Is it possible that such a big case was committed just for a golden toilet? You should know that there are always more than 300,000 yuan in cash in the safe of the finance department!"

  "I think so too!" Ma Tong nodded and said: "I think it's probably a business rival who is intentionally causing trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a mess of the entire warehouse!"

  Lü Dahai nodded in agreement: "Great minds think alike! Alright, you go wash up and rest for a bit. Leave this place to the police. They'll definitely come find you later to ask about what happened. You cooperate fully with them, don't worry about anything else, it's not your responsibility. I won't let the company give you any trouble!"

  Ma Tong felt slightly relieved and nodded: "I know!"

  At this time, Lü Dahai suddenly burst out laughing and said to Ma Tong, who had a confused face: "Did you fall into the toilet yesterday? Why do you smell so bad? Go take a shower quickly!"

  Ma Tong was always tense and didn't have time to think about his own affairs. When Lv Dahai mentioned it, he lowered his head and took a strong sniff at himself. It wasn't so bad if he didn't smell it, but once he did, Ma Tong almost threw up. The smell on him was just like the slop bucket in a restaurant...

  "My god! I'm leaving first!" Ma Tong, who loved his face the most, couldn't take this and ran away in a puff of smoke.

  Lü Dahai looked at Ma Tong's back, which was like a rabbit that had been shot, and burst out laughing.

  In the dressing room, Ma Tong stared blankly at himself in the mirror, wondering what was wrong with him.

  The mirror reflected Ma Tong's body, which was covered in dark, scar-like marks that made one feel nauseous. The foul smell emanated from these disgusting black scars.

  Ma Tong let out a strange cry and rushed into the bathroom behind the locker room.....

  After using up a whole bottle of shower gel, the black stains on Ma Tong's body were finally washed away, and the stench also disappeared. Only then did Ma Tong let out a sigh of relief: If these things can't be washed off, in the future, beautiful women will have to run away as soon as they are one zhang (about 3.3 meters) away from him, that would truly make it impossible for him to find a wife!

  When it comes to his daughter-in-law, Ma Tong's mind conjures up a beautiful and elegant figure: a slender physique of about 1.7 meters tall, with long black hair that falls to her shoulders, a delicate and curvaceous body, skin as white as snow, and exquisite facial features...

  She is the real princess of the Ling Group, beautiful CEO Ling Wanqing.

  That was at the company's opening ceremony, Ling Wanqing represented the group leadership to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, standing on the podium surrounded by a group of high-level leaders of the company like stars and moon, she wore a white professional suit that fit perfectly, with clear eyes, bright voice, every word and smile exuding a goddess-like aura, making everyone who attended the ceremony feel dizzy and fascinated...

  Including Matong.

  Yes, that's right. Ling Wanqing is indeed Ma Tong's goddess in his heart. In Ma Tong's opinion, those so-called "goddesses" of the otaku on the internet aren't even worthy of holding Ling Wanqing's shoes...

  Of course, those who are not even worthy of giving Ling Wanqing her shoes include himself...

  As he thought of this, Ma Tong's heart felt a pang of bitterness: the gap between him and Ling Wanqing was probably not just as far apart as a toad and a swan.

  She is so noble and beautiful, probably only a real prince can match her.

  "Ma Tong! Ma Tong! The police want you to make a statement!" Lu Dahai's shout brought Ma Tong back to reality.

  "Here!" Ma Tong wondered in his heart why the police were so efficient this time, and quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the dressing room.

  Outside the dressing room, Lv Dahai stood at the door with a fat policeman. Ma Tong keenly felt that the fat policeman's gaze was not friendly, and could even be said to be a sharp gaze of looking at an offender.

  "Come with me!" The fat policeman threw down a sentence coldly and turned around to leave.

  Lv Dahai followed closely behind the fat policeman and said in a low voice, "Brother Sun, Ma Tong is my buddy, we're all on the same side, don't you think..."

  Officer Sun glared coldly at Lü Dahai: "Does the police need your instruction on how to handle things?"

  Ma Tong saw his brother being scolded by someone, and a surge of anger rose up in his heart. He was about to go forward and argue with the police, but was stopped by Lü Dahai.

  Lü Dahai whispered to Ma Tong's ear, "Tongzi, don't be impulsive, the situation is somewhat unfavorable for you now. The police just investigated the scene and only found two people's footprints and fingerprints. One of them belongs to Lin Dajie, the warehouse manager, and the other should be yours. But Lin Dajie has already provided an alibi, so now..."

  "So they all suspect that I am the one who is embezzling, right?" Ma Tong coldly interrupted Lü Dahai's words, a sense of indignation at being wronged surged from his heart to his head: "And you, do you also suspect that it was me who did it?"
