Who moved my novel?

"According to our report, a contractor committed suicide in a rice field in the suburbs of Chixin City recently."

"The police found 3 million in cash and a suicide note from his residence. It is reported that the cash is the final payment for a project, and the suicide note stated that the final payment should be paid to more than ten workers who participated in the construction ten years ago."

"The police are currently trying to find the actual owner of the cash. For specific information, please see the reporter's on-site report."

...

"Second brother, what do you say?" A worker took off his heavy coat and put his hands next to the stove to warm his red hands.

"What do you mean?" Another worker called "Second Brother" frowned: "We pretended to be sick and evacuated, so are we going back now?"

"Why can't we go back?" The worker who started talking retorted: "It's been ten years since the incident, and nothing happened to the eldest brother in ten years. Is it possible that something bad can happen?"

"No one can guarantee such things." The second brother shook his head: "Look at the eldest brother, didn't something happen to him?"

"The eldest brother committed suicide, probably because he was tortured for who knows what time that was." The third brother snorted coldly: "It's really in vain to call him the eldest brother for more than ten years. When he got into trouble, none of us betrayed him. As a result, he took the project money and lived a carefree life. He didn't even say anything to subsidize us brothers for ten years, and even the original project money We haven't been married yet!"

"Don't say that." The second brother took a puff of the Red Double Happiness in his hand and exhaled a puff of cigarette silently for a long time: "What happened back then was not only the eldest brother's fault, who among us was not at fault? If it was discovered at that time, everyone present, one by one, would be unable to escape!"

"But..."

The third brother wanted to say something, but the second brother stopped him directly: "No buts, the eldest brother took this crime for us, and the hundreds of thousands are what he deserves, and none of us has the right to be jealous!"

"Okay!" The third brother nodded fiercely: "Even if the hundreds of thousands are what he deserves, I won't say anything, then what about the three million? Don't you say that the three million should be taken by him alone? Isn't this unfair?"

"This money..." This time the second brother hesitated.

Three million, although it has been delayed for ten years and the value has been greatly reduced, it is still a huge sum of money for these workers struggling at the bottom.

"Each person can get hundreds of thousands!" The third brother said again: "Second brother, think about it, he has been living a comfortable life for the past ten years, with money and houses, and he lives a comfortable life. What kind of life do we brothers live? In the first few years, we didn't dare to let others know our identities, and we took two-thirds of our wages to work illegally. In the past few years, we finally dared to use our identities openly. We saved for several years but it was not enough to buy a house! Second brother, are you willing?"

"I am not willing. What's the use of being unwilling?" The second brother sighed: "Third brother, do you think I am afraid to see the eldest brother? I am afraid of the police! We You can't risk your life for money!"

"The police clearly..." The third brother wanted to say something, but seeing the determined look of the second brother, he had to change his words: "Second brother, why have we called him big brother for so many years?"

"Why else? We swore brotherhood, and we are brothers in this life! No matter what he is like, he is our big brother!"

"Second brother, now that big brother is dead, why don't we go back to pay tribute to him?" The third brother looked at the calendar: "If we go back now, we can catch up with the first seven days."

"This..." Speaking of this, the second brother hesitated. Indeed, if he didn't go back to pay tribute to him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Second brother, let's go back and have a look, or we can change our identities and say we are just ordinary friends, and go back to attend the funeral."

"Yes." The second brother nodded: "We have to go back, but you are not going back for the money, right? I tell you, this is probably a trap set by the police. If you get into it, even gods can't save you!"

"That can't be possible!" The third brother waved his hand quickly: "Don't worry, second brother, we will go to worship the eldest brother. If we see that the situation is not right, we will leave immediately. It has been ten years, who will recognize us?"

"That's fine." The second brother nodded: "Pack up your things, we will leave today, and we must catch up with the eldest brother's first seven days! Third brother, I will remind you again, that money..."

"Got it, second brother, I don't want that money anymore, it's okay if I don't want it!"

"Alas." The second brother sighed: "Second brother is also for your own good, don't be greedy."

...

"Director Zhou, four have been arrested, and there are still more than a dozen." A policeman walked up to Director Zhou with a file and reported.

"Yeah." Director Zhou nodded: "Did you record the video of them receiving the money?"

"Yes, it was recorded before the arrest, absolutely true." The police nodded happily.

"That's fine." Director Zhou nodded: "Tell Xue Mo to write another article, and the content will say... seven people have received the money. According to the recipients, there are still six people who have not received it. The police will continue to look for the remaining owners."

"But Director Zhou," the police blinked: "They didn't say how many people there were in total. Will it be exposed?"

"Of course." Director Zhou nodded: "But it's not us, it's those people."

"Those people?" The police looked at Director Zhou in confusion.

"Think about it, what would be your first reaction if the number of people was wrong?"

"It's... the person in front lied for his own benefit!" The police reacted instantly, and then said with some embarrassment: "But we only have four people's videos of the recipients, what should we do with the rest? Find someone to play?"

"No need." Director Zhou waved his hand: "When asked, we said that at the request of some recipients, their identities will not be disclosed, but we have verified their identities and kept records."

"Oh! I understand!" The policeman nodded: "If we say that, they will think that someone wants to embezzle their money, so they found someone else to claim it!"

"That's right." Director Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "You can teach a kid! Go ahead, let Xuemo write quickly, and send it out for publication when it's finished."

…

"Second brother! Second brother!" The third brother hurriedly took the newspaper and rushed back to the train.

"What's wrong?" The second brother ate the instant noodles in front of him leisurely and watched the video on his phone.

"Second brother, someone has received money." Third brother whispered, and looked around. Fortunately, there were many people getting on and off the bus, but no one noticed them.

"I've seen it a long time ago." The second brother shook his phone: "Who is reading the newspaper now?"

"Second brother, did you see that they said there were thirteen people in total?"

"Thirteen?" The second brother was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure: "Thirteen is just thirteen, what can we do?"

"But there are clearly seventeen of us!"
