Chapter 69: The Beggar
The group soon came to the garbage heap where we were hiding. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
My second uncle and I held our breath, and our hearts almost rose to our throats, and we could see from the gaps in the garbage piles that there were more than a dozen people in this line, and the machetes in their hands were indeed more than one meter long.
This pedestrian looked around, scolding in his mouth, which roughly means that my second uncle and I ran really fast, and we disappeared as soon as we slipped away, and if we went back empty-handed, I was afraid that I would not be able to explain to Li Dama.
The group deliberated for a while, and finally someone proposed: "No, just go to the meat case and smear the blood on our knife, and go back and say that the two miscellaneous Taoist priests have been killed." This cold fire and autumn smoke has no personal hair, where to find it. ”
As soon as these words came out, the leader immediately slapped him on the back of the head: "You pig brain, paper can't contain fire, the boss hates others to deceive him the most in his life, he didn't find it, at most he went back to learn a lesson, he was beaten, if you lie to the boss, beware of your little life, pig brain." If you can't find it, you keep looking until dawn. ”
The leader's sentence was to the point, and the group immediately stopped talking, preparing to set off to continue the search in the vicinity.
Just as he was about to take a step, the leader seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned his eyes to the garbage heap beside him, and the steps taken by the others stopped with him.
The leader slowly approached the garbage heap, walked to the garbage can, approached cautiously, and then suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed it fiercely, at a glance he knew that he was a ruthless person, he stabbed the four garbage cans all over, and found nothing.
Then he turned the spearhead to the garbage heap where my second uncle and I were hiding, and stabbed more than a dozen knives into the garbage heap in a row, at this time fortunately, the garbage pile was many and thick, otherwise it would have stabbed me and my second uncle, and he stabbed more than a dozen times and still didn't find anything, then someone reminded him that there was a beggar.
The leader walked over, pushed the garbage truck away, kicked the beggar with his foot, and shouted, "Hey, old beggar......"
The old beggar turned over, looked at him with a grin, and said in a hoarse voice: "All the masters, let the old beggar sleep here." ”
The leader said, "I want to ask you something." ”
The old beggar said, "Uncle, you ask." ”
The leader said, "Do you see two people passing by?"
The old beggar thought for a moment and said, "When I fell asleep in a daze, I seemed to hear footsteps. ”
The leader said, "Do you see where they went?" ”
The old beggar pointed to a fork in the road and said, "Listen to the footsteps, I must be going that way, um." ”
The leader nodded and said, "Old beggar, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise you'll feel better." ”
The old beggar replied timidly, "How dare you?" I am just a beggar, uncle, look at you, let me live, I did hear footsteps going that way. ”
The leader waved at this time and said, "Go." ”
The group followed him and walked away in the direction of the fork in the road pointed by the old beggar.
The first reaction in my mind was why this old beggar wanted to save us, but when I thought that maybe he was really asleep, and he didn't notice us at all, and it was not that there were no people rushing at such a late night, maybe he did hear the people rushing in the direction he was pointing.
After a long time, when we were sure that the group had finally gone away, my second uncle and I crawled out of the garbage heap.
The old beggar continued to sleep under the garbage truck.
When we walked in front of him, the second uncle suddenly stopped and said, "Thank you, old man, you should hurry up and leave." ”
The old beggar replied hoarsely: "You go quickly, when they come back, it will be troublesome, the old beggar, I have a cheap life, and my legs and feet are not easy to use, this is where I beg, run? Where can I run? But there is a good place to hide around three streets ahead, you can go and hide." ”
The second uncle asked, "Where is it?"
The old beggar said, "Crematorium." ”
The second uncle said: "Okay, thank you old man, then you ?......"
The old beggar said, "I'm an old bone, and they can't do anything to me...... If they really kicked my old bones apart, broke them up, and went to the crematorium, they would stop. ”
My second uncle and I did not hesitate, if we delay the time, it will be troublesome to be found by this passerby, and this old beggar is not willing to go, so we will not be able to force it.
My second uncle and I immediately ran away, and after running for a while, we were also tired, and we slowed down.
I asked my second uncle, "Are we really going to hide in the crematorium?"
The second uncle said: "Yes, I think so too, why can't we hide, why do we want to go to the crematorium?"
I said, "I think the old beggar seems to be deliberately directing us to the crematorium." ”
The second uncle said: "It's on time." ”
I said, "Why did he direct us to the crematorium?"
The second uncle said, "I don't know, that's exactly what I want to ask." Perhaps, there is some secret there. Perhaps, he is just an old beggar who sees through the world, out of good intentions, and wants to save us, which is also very likely. ”
I said, "I hope so." I asked the second uncle again, "Then are we really going to the crematorium?"
The second uncle said: "Someone pointed us out the way, why don't you go, just take a look, maybe there will be something different to gain and discover." Besides, there is no place to go now, Li Dama has taken over Li Baoshu's business, and the bustling area of the city must be full of his ears and eyes, at this time, it is a good choice to go to the crematorium, maybe this old beggar is really our nobleman. But I still feel that something is wrong. ”
I asked the second uncle, "What's wrong, what did you think of?"
The second uncle said: "It's the three words 'crematorium', no. ”
The second uncle emphasized the three words crematorium again, and my mind turned, I seem to have heard these three words somewhere recently.
Suddenly I remembered that it was in Sauna City, when we discussed the case with Director Gong, according to Director Gong's investigation, as well as the news we heard from Zhao Dexi, it was certain that one of Li Baoshu's businesses involved the funeral industry, and according to the clues left by Mrs. Shen, his son Shen Baoxi worked in Li Baoshu's steel mill before his death, and Director Gong and they focused on investigating Li Baoshu's steel mill and found that he did not have any steel mill at all, so we combined all the factors to speculate that the so-called Li Baoshu's steel mill should actually be a crematorium controlled by him。
And at this time, the old beggar is directing us to the crematorium, will there be any connection in this issue?
Thinking of this layer, it doesn't matter whether the old beggar intentionally or unintentionally directed us to the crematorium.
Looks like we have to make this trip.
