He committed self-burglary. Before he went to prison, his job was to manage the money of a large organization. It was a very stable job. He was promoted step by step. After about twenty years, he might be promoted to the director of that department. He had an accident in his third year on the job. After three years of work, he is definitely a model worker. Even after the accident, the director of the company he worked for appeared in court and diligently testified for his work, proving that it was his momentary confusion. Please the court give a lighter sentence, although his charges Not light.His behavior of guarding and stealing is quite astonishing. He stole cash, gold, securities and jewelry worth more than 10 million!

Unforgivable sin!When the judge judged the case, although he considered all aspects of pleading for him, he still spoke earnestly and warned young people not to ruin their lives because of their greed. He was only twenty-seven years old when the accident happened. The judge's sentence was quite harsh and ten years in prison. From the day he left court, he became a model inmate in prison.He knew that, with good behavior, he wouldn't have to spend ten years in prison, but a little over seven years, and he'd be released. A little more than seven years, let's say eight years, was worth it to him. He was very satisfied with his performance in court, crying bitterly and expressing regret, although he was crying and calculating in his heart. Eight years, ten million; working hard outside the prison, trembling, eighty years, not ten million!

For him, it's so worth it! wait a minute!Tens of millions of stolen money, can no one pursue it?Of course, how can a smart person like him not think of it?On the morning when the incident happened, he left with tens of millions of stolen money. At noon, the company found him missing. In the afternoon, he was found in an alley. He was hit on the head and seriously injured. His confession is very sincere and touching: I took the company’s money, but I was still very conflicted. I knew that I had committed a crime, and my heart was very confused. I kept walking, and suddenly someone attacked me from behind me. .

Both the police and the insurance company expressed doubts about his confession and did a lot of investigation work, but he insisted.The investigators knew that such tricks were not new, but they had no choice but to temporarily stop.Investigators all have a belief that if he hides the stolen money, he will definitely use it after he gets out of prison. It is a game of patience. It is impossible for him not to use the stolen money for the rest of his life. Once he uses it, he will lose!

He naturally knows this too, so in his plan, he must first become a model prisoner and learn a skill in prison!He chose printing and dyeing technology, not for any reason, just because he likes to see the moment when the white cloth can be turned into any color after being lifted in the dye vat. He knew that after he was released from prison, the prison authorities would give him a very good evaluation of his behavior and introduce him to a printing and dyeing job.This job allows him to maintain a low standard of living. He may not live very well, but that's okay, because he knows he is a multi-millionaire. Having a lot of money and not spending it and having no money to spend at all are two different things, that's why many millionaires live a life of stinginess And the reason why it is so sweet.

He can wait, he is still young, he firmly believes that the patience of investigators will never match him, and in another ten or eight years, who will pay attention to him?At that time, he will have been forgotten by everyone, and at that time, he will be able to enjoy the tens of millions of stolen money! Of course, when he thought of this, even though he was in prison, he would whistle in a relaxed mood. Where did he hide that tens of millions of stolen money?It's very simple. On the day of the incident, he had half a day to deal with it, and everything was planned in advance: in the vault department of his service organization, he rented a safe in advance under an alias, and paid the long-term rent all at once. The stolen money is placed in the safe that the organization rents out!

Who would have thought that?Isn't it wonderful? All he had to do was wait to get out of prison, which was so easy. After writing this, my thoughts suddenly turned into two ways. This is the great joy of novel creation. There are two different arrangements for how his ending will be arranged. Eight years is not long, not short, he was finally released from prison. In the warden's office, he took back all the things he had when he was in prison. Listening to the warden's precepts, he suddenly saw the headline of the newspaper on the table. , The staff of the vault of a large organization guarded themselves and stole a large amount of property from the vault.

With trembling hands, he picked up the newspaper and saw that in the stolen safe was the number he rented eight years ago, and he passed out. Eight years were long or short, and he was finally released from prison.He implemented the plan and compared his patience with the investigators. He worked as a worker in a printing and dyeing factory, and his life was quite poor, but he had tens of millions of stolen money, which made him very happy.
