On the afternoon of July 10, outside the south gate of Ganghua 121st Street in Qingshan District, near the roadside of Friendship Avenue, a row of road construction barriers separated the road from the sidewalk. At noon three days ago, many people gathered in front of these stores - a pile of "red tickets" suddenly scattered on the upper floors of the residents facing the street, causing many people to watch. After the incident, several store owners called the police at the first time, and collected the cash scattered on the sidewalk, and kept watch until the police arrived at the scene, and finally returned the money and property to the original owner.
Suddenly outside the door began a "rain of cash"
Recalling the scene at the time of the incident, the owner of a barber shop next to the community, the 23-year-old Song Da, still remembers it vividly.
He said that at 12:36 p.m. that day, suddenly there were two strange noises outside the store door - something fell from the sky, and then hit the drying rack or the rain and sun shed, and then fell heavily on the ground.
"The reason I remember it so clearly is because I took a picture at the time." Song Da said with a smile. After the incident, he found a red plastic bag falling on the ground through the glass door, and the bag and the nearby sidewalk were full of "red tickets"!
"At that time, the first reaction should not be real money," Song Da said, when he took a closer look and found that it was indeed "cash rain" in the sky, he immediately ran outside the store, immediately called the police, and quickly received the money scattered on the ground.
At the same time as Song Da, there was also Liu Fanjie, the owner of the advertising copy shop next door. She also ran outside the store, called the police, and collected the scattered money with Song Da.
"At that time, there was almost 20,000 yuan in plastic bags, and there was money on the ground. You can't imagine the feeling of a hundred-dollar bill spread all over the door! Liu Fanjie said with a smile.
In the noodle shop more than 20 meters away from the two stores, the hostess Xiang Chunying heard a commotion outside the store. "A bunch of people gathered around the sidewalk, even people across the road ran over, I looked closer, found that it was upstairs money dropped, and immediately helped to pick it up."
Collect the money on the ground and guard the money on the rain canopy
Song Da said that several nearby shopkeepers and passers-by worked together for half a day before they returned all the money on the ground. At the same time, Liu Fanjie also took the plastic bag to inquire one by one, and asked everyone at the scene to put all the money they picked up back into the plastic bag. After counting, the total cash collected was 26,500 yuan.
Song Da introduced that according to the analysis, the money must have fallen from the residential building upstairs of the store, and it was certainly not a low-rise. "Because after the incident, I ran outside the store to see that in addition to the money scattered on the ground, there was also a small amount of money on the rain canopy on the second floor of the residential building."
At this time, Song Da and Liu Fanjie discussed the division of work, Liu Fanjie returned to the advertising copy shop with a plastic bag containing money and waited for the police to arrive; Song Da stayed outside the store, staring at the money on the Rainy Sun Shed. "At that time, the wind was blowing, and I was afraid that the money on the rain and sun shed would blow to the ground and be picked up by mistake." Song Da explained.
After receiving the police, Liang Zhen, police officer of the Industrial Second Road Police Station of the Qingshan (Steel City) Public Security Substation, and Feng Junlong, an auxiliary police officer, quickly rushed to the scene. They discussed going to the 2nd floor to recover the cash scattered on the canopy, and then going upstairs to find the owner.
House-to-door visits did not find the owner
The 227-gate residential building facing the street has a total of 6 floors. Knocking on the door of the second-floor resident's house, the landlord was unaware of the cash falling on his canopy.
The landlord very cooperatively let the police come to the side of the rainy sun shed, and took a broom, swept all the cash on the rain shed to the ground - and "recovered" 3100 yuan in cash.
Subsequently, the group visited the residents from the 3rd floor in turn. Liang Zhen said that at that time, the group visited the residents on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors one by one, and everyone reported that they had not lost anything at home.
Liang Zhen had to return to the police station with cash first, and left the contact information to Song Da, saying that if any residents reported that they had lost money, they would contact the police.
The owner did not know it at the time
Just as the police were on their way back to the police station, Song Da called and said that the owner had been found. The money was indeed dropped by the 6th floor occupants.
Mr. Jia, a resident, said that this was the medical treatment money of his 92-year-old mother, a total of 30,000 yuan. The mother took out the money and stuffed it into the quilt in a plastic bag, without knowing it in advance, and when she dried the quilt, the bag fell from the upper floor. At 1:00 p.m. on the same day, the cash and goods returned to their original owners, and Mr. Jia's family repeatedly thanked the police and all the well-wishers.
"Everyone is a kind person," Song Da told the Yangtze River Daily reporter, who originally had 200 yuan stuck in the gap in the drying rack of another resident on the 2nd floor, and the resident took the money out and returned it immediately after returning home.
Song Da said that although there are still 200 yuan of money that does not know where it has gone, Mr. Jia is still very grateful to everyone.
"Amazing, this boy is good!" Just as Song Da briefed reporters on the situation, a sanitation worker on the side of the road gave Song Da a thumbs up. Song Da smiled and said, "In fact, everyone thinks the same, and things that are not their own must not be wanted!" ”
