"How do you know I'm not really crazy?" Chao Jiashi asked this question very seriously.
"As soon as I heard Pan Xiurui's look when he saw you, I knew you were pretending to be crazy."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "When you see someone, you first look at them in a daze for a while, then you giggle, and then you kowtow and say, 'I'm guilty.' Yes, you do look like a madman, but the biggest problem is, These three movements are done in one go. You can observe a real lunatic. No 'normal' lunatic can perform these three movements with different expressions in a coherent manner!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What is a normal lunatic?
"You are the one who is crazy." Chao Jiashi murmured, "Who would observe a madman?"
"Me!" Meng Shaoyuan pointed to his nose and said, "You may not believe it. I have observed different lunatics and captured their expressions, movements, and speech patterns. I was even once with a lunatic who was frightened and became crazy. He stayed for three full months and then initially cured his disease!
Did you become crazy because of fright? If I have time, I can tell you how to play this role well. "
Chao Jiashi smiled bitterly and said: "You are a madman! Your madness is much more serious than mine!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the gold bars on the ground: "Why did you think of bringing me these 'medicines'?"
"I heard Pan Xiurui tell you about you, and I always felt it sounded familiar. I seemed to have heard it somewhere. Then I thought about it carefully. Yes, I really know about this matter, and it has been published in the newspaper. For this reason, Pan Xiurui and After I said that, I went to check the information." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Chao Jiashi, you are such a fucking genius!"
He suddenly cursed, but instead of being angry, Chao Jiashi asked with interest: "Why am I a genius?"
"You are really a genius. It would be a pity for someone like you not to join our military." Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Your wife's name was Cheng Liyu. After her death, your nephew, ah, was Bian Huarong. It was a coincidence. I found an insurance policy you bought for your wife at home. You purchased it from Tianyi Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Taiping Insurance. The beneficiary is you.
When Bian Huarong applied for compensation from Tianyi Insurance, he encountered difficulties. The insurance company said that the beneficiary must apply in person. So, you entrust a lawyer to file a lawsuit. At that time, your wife was killed by the Japanese, and you yourself went crazy. Coupled with the general environment, anti-Japanese and patriotic sentiments among the people were high, so public opinion was unanimously on your side.
In the end, Tianyi Insurance could not withstand public opinion, and coupled with the pressure from the court, it finally agreed to pay the insurance money. With this money, your nephew has been taking care of you, and he is even more filial than a filial son. I was almost moved when I saw it. However, there is still a minor flaw. You have a son. Why did your son never show up during the whole incident? "
Chao Jiashi's face dimmed slightly: "My child is in Hong Kong, very busy, very busy."
"Yes, very busy." Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "So, your wife went to Hong Kong to be with him."
"What?" Pan Xiurui said in a voiceless voice, "Isn't his wife dead?"
"If my guess is correct, Mrs. Chao is not dead." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "The whole incident was planned by Chao Jiashi. This is a insurance fraud incident!"
Insurance fraud!
This was not uncommon in Meng Shaoyuan's era.
But here, it is relatively rare!
Even ordinary people find it difficult to accept insurance.
Therefore, among the large insurance companies "Taiping Ping Fengsheng Tianyi Insurance Company", only Tianyi provides personal accident insurance, and the other three mainly operate water and fire insurance.
"Your factory collapsed. You used the last bit of money left over from selling the factory to buy this small compound. Then, you bought a huge insurance policy for your wife!" Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice slightly: " You took advantage of the Japanese threat to plot a conspiracy to disappear your wife. When your wife's so-called body was thrown at the door of your house, no one saw it clearly, and you took it back.
Then, your nephew Bian Huarong personally helped his aunt arrange the funeral arrangements. Everyone sympathized with your experience and everyone hated the Japanese. Who would check a corpse? Who will verify whether Cheng Liyu is dead, or whether it is Cheng Liyu who died? Then, Bian Huarong discovered that insurance by accident, and it was only natural that he would make a claim on your behalf.
When I said you were smart, it was true. At that time, you were threatened by the Japanese. You didn't want to be a traitor, so you planned a fake death incident. If you were crazy, the Japanese would naturally not come to trouble you, and you could get a large amount of insurance compensation. Relieve your financial stress. You are also sure that you will be able to get the insurance money. Because the people and public opinion sympathize with you, and the insurance company has no reason not to pay compensation.
You are really smart. You are afraid that directly writing that the beneficiary is Bian Huarong will arouse the suspicion of the insurance company, so you would rather have a twists and turns in the process, and even instigate Bian Huarong to file a lawsuit, but you must do it seamlessly. However, in the whole process, these are not the things that impressed me most. "
"What is that?" Chao Jiashi asked, squinting his eyes.
"I said, you are suitable for our profession." Meng Shaoyuan praised: "You know that in Shanghai at that time, there were many factions of the Japanese secret service. Your wife was 'killed', and every Japanese secret service thought it was... No agency will verify what other agencies have done, and even if they do, no one will cooperate with them! You took full advantage of the lack of cooperation between Japanese and special agencies!"
And this was Meng Shaoyuan’s patent before!
Specializing in using the contradictions of Japanese special institutions to get what you want!
"I'm not smart. The really smart person is you." Chao Jiashi shook his head repeatedly: "I spent a lot of effort to come up with such a plan to kill two birds with one stone. However, you just relied on the things mentioned in the newspaper to do everything. You guessed it, as if you were personally involved. Yes, your guess is correct, my wife is not dead, she is now with my son in Hong Kong! As for the body, in fact, it is my sister, that is Hua Rong’s mother, she fell ill and died in the countryside, and I quietly transported her body back to Shanghai.”
Meng Shaoyuan then asked: "When I mentioned your son just now, you showed an obviously sad expression. Did something happen to your son?"
"Yes, something happened." Chao Jiashi's voice became deeper: "He was in Hong Kong and participated in a march against the Japanese invasion of China. Later, his legs were interrupted by Japanese agents!"
