Chapter 54: The King's Iron Feet
Under the guidance of Wang Zizin, we came to Lishan District, in recent years, Lishan District has been dominated by commercial development, and it is really good to see that it is now full of high-rise buildings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I looked out the car window and saw that there were still many buildings under construction on the barren slopes on both sides of the road, and it seemed that our comrade mayor was not only keen on building roads and planting trees, but also very interested in building buildings!
Lao Jiu Peng Tao drove the car quickly and soon came to the destination near Jianshe Road, what people didn't expect was that there was a row of antique courtyard houses behind the street lined with high-rise buildings.
There is a Guangliang gate in this row of courtyards is Bi Lao's home, it is said that this kind of Guangliang gate can only be used by the official eunuch family in the past, it seems that this Bi Lao is also the second generation of officials!
As soon as the car drove to the gate of the courtyard, Wang Zizhen excitedly pointed to an old man on the side of the road and said, "That's Bi Lao!" ”
After Wang Zizhen finished speaking, he got out of the car and greeted Bi Lao, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Bi, you have been waiting at the door for a long time!" It's really unconsciousnessy, and it's always causing you trouble. ”
"Child, where are you, who are we talking to! Besides, my little old man is almost rusty at home, so I can't help you with activities! After speaking, Bi Lao laughed heartily.
Wang Zizin introduced a few of us to Bi Lao, everyone politely said a few words to each other, before I took out the gift, Bi Lao hurriedly got into our car, it turned out that the old man was worried that the time would be delayed for a long time, the scene would be destroyed, the old man's move really moved us so much!
In the car, I took a closer look at Bi Lao, and saw that the old man's hair was gray and somewhat groomed, but it was very neatly combed, the old man was wearing an ordinary really good tunic and looked neat, and the leather shoes on his feet were polished, it seems that Bi Lao is usually a very detail-oriented person.
After getting in the car, Bi Lao began to close his eyes and recuperate after a brief chat with us after getting in the car, and we didn't dare to disturb when we saw it.
When the car drove to the vicinity of Tongtai Road, where the crime occurred, Bi Lao opened his eyes as if he had a sense and said, "Park the car in the building group in front." ”
Lao Jiu Peng Tao parked the car in the building group according to the instructions, and Bi Lao smiled: "I'll go to the road myself to see it later, don't follow a few of you, it's too eye-catching when there are too many people, once there is any rumor to scare the perpetrator away, it's not good!" ”
After Bi Lao finished speaking, he picked up a light green canvas pocket and got out of the car and walked leisurely to the road, looking like a little old man who had eaten enough and came out for a walk.
I was worried that something would happen to Bi Lao alone, so I got up and got out of the car, came to the front of the building, found a stone pier and sat on it, looking at Bi Lao in the distance.
I saw Bi Lao walking on the road with a box of cigarettes in his hand, and from time to time he stretched his waist to move his arms and legs, I knew that Bi Lao was holding the box of cigarettes in his hand was actually a miniature camera, and what small movements he did were taking pictures.
Tongtai Road is a relatively remote neighborhood is not popular, now there are no pedestrians on the road in broad daylight, and there are few businesses on the side of the road, thanks to Bi Lao's good acting skills, if we go to investigate the scene, it will definitely attract the attention of some good people.
Bi Lao leisurely turned around a few more times on the road and picked up a handful of leaves, like a naughty child, he took the leaves and looked at the sunlight, and finally carefully selected some of them and put them in his pocket, nodding with satisfaction.
Bi Lao picked up the leaves and turned around again and returned to the car, I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I sat back and staggered the time with Bi Lao before returning to the car.
"Bi Lao has worked hard! Did you find anything?" I asked as soon as I got back to the car.
"Fortunately, this road is relatively remote, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles, and the weather is good these days, and the damage to the scene is very small, otherwise it will be really difficult to do!"
After speaking, Bi Lao took out a piece of car paint from his pocket and said: "I picked up a few pieces of sky blue paint on the road, from which it can be judged that the main body of the vehicle involved in the accident is sky blue, and according to the brake marks, this is a heavy truck with four front and eight back, the driver is likely to be drunk driving or busy with other things, because the brake marks are some distance from the accident point, and they belong to emergency braking after hitting people, and there are only these clues at present." ”
After listening to Bi Lao, I asked a little anxiously: "Bi Lao has so few clues now, so what should we do next?" ”
Bi Lao took out a small thermos cup from his pocket and took a sip of tea, and said with confidence: "You will send me to Tongtai Park in front of you in a while, I will get off there and see if there are any clues, you don't have to follow me, it is convenient for me to do things alone, if I find something, I will contact Guowei as soon as possible, and he will inform you what to do when the time comes, oh!" By the way, I see that although your little brother is not very old, he should also be a person with a head and a face in this area, you remember not to use your own power to investigate this matter, it is easy to startle the snake with such fanfare! ”
Gossip without further ado, let go of Bi Laohou Wang Zizin wanted to go to the hospital to see and rushed back to the hospital with Peng Tao, I plan to go around here, maybe I can find any clues and I didn't go back to the hospital, borrowed a bicycle and wandered around here aimlessly hoping to find something.
I wandered around the neighborhood for an hour without finding anything of value, when I was about to go back when I suddenly found a beggar rummaging through a trash can on the side of the street.
The tall beggar's dirty, torn clothes were full of bohemian style, and judging by the domineering appearance he looked at when he picked up garbage, this should be his begging range.
As a marginalized group at the bottom of society, beggars are often easily ignored, and in the eyes of the world, these people who make a living by begging and scavenging are equated with those stray cats and dogs, which can be said to have no sense of existence at all.
It turns out that the people or things that are often the most overlooked can play a decisive role in the crucial moments! For example, these lifeless beggars nesting in the corner of the road are like monitors working 24 hours a day, and what happens in this red dust cannot escape their eyes!
Thinking of this, I followed the beggar from afar, hoping to get some clues from him, and I was really surprised after following for a while, and I saw that the beggar was barefoot and did not wear shoes, but he walked like a fly, and he walked with his toes on the ground steadily, looking like a practitioner!
This beggar must have a little bit of a background, and maybe he can really help something! Thinking of this, I was a little excited, and I increased my speed a bit, and followed closely behind the beggar.
It was the afternoon when the sun was so poisonous that I was so dizzy from the sun that I felt the urge to find a place to lie in the shade for a while, but the beggar looked through a dozen garbage cans in one breath like a chicken, until the broken sack behind him was filled.
It seems that it is not easy to do anything these days, and if you want to be a competent beggar, you really have to have a good body.
Getting back to the point, the beggar tossed the sack on his back, smiled with satisfaction on his face, walked forward for a while, and then went into the windbreak on the side of the road, and when I saw it, I hurriedly parked my bicycle on the side of the road and locked it and followed.
The beggar was well acquainted with the woods, and I was only half as slow as I was gone, but fortunately there were traces of his big feet on the ground, and I followed the footprints on the ground to the depths of the woods, where there was a clearing full of construction debris, and the footprints were not visible here.
I looked around, and my eyes were immediately attracted by a huge cement pipe with a diameter of more than two meters, and I saw that this cement pipe was sealed with a wooden board at one end, and a rag curtain at the other, and there were strange graffiti painted all around, which seemed that this beggar was quite artistic!
I came to the cement pipe, lifted the rag curtain, a pungent smell hit people's lungs, I held back a strong feeling of vomiting and walked in, not to mention that the cement pipe is really spacious.
At this time, the beggar sat on a broken mat with a piece of red silk in his hand, and was concentrating on wiping the hala handle, (the hala handle is a percussion instrument made of the shoulder blade of a cow or a pig, usually drills a small hole in the front of the bone, strings a bell, and shakes it with his hand to make a screeching sound, and the beggars usually put it in their pockets, and when they meet a wedding or the opening of a shop, they will take it out and rush forward like a moth to a fire, and sing until they are paid.) )
The beggar didn't pay any attention to me coming in, just glanced out of the corner of his eye and continued to wipe his precious instrument.
I saw that this beggar was quite good, but he didn't pay attention to me, I had no choice, I handed over a cigarette, the beggar took the cigarette, looked at the brand, took out a zippo lighter from his pocket, and lit the cigarette.
"You've been with me for so long, just talk about it if you have something!" After the beggar finished speaking, he spat out the smoke ring and looked at me with a calm and profound look.
I also looked the beggar up and down, because his face was too dirty to judge his age, maybe around forty years old, I saw that his bones were thick and his hands were bruised, and it seemed that he should practice foreign boxing.
Since everyone is a person who practices martial arts, I won't go around the bend with him, and said honestly: "There was a car accident on Zhengtai Road in front of me last night, an aunt who sold tofu was hit by a car, the car that caused the accident should be a big blue truck, the car escaped after the accident, the aunt who sold tofu is my brother's mother, and now she is just out of danger and is still lying in the hospital, and the next treatment may require a huge amount of money, and now we urgently need to find the hit-and-run person so that he can compensate for this medical expenses, I wonder if you know anything about this big brother? ”
I took out a hundred dollars and put it in the broken bowl beside the beggar.
"I didn't see the accident, but I seem to have seen the car and the driver who caused the accident!"
After hearing the beggar's words, I was very excited, and when I saw that he still wanted money, I put all the five hundred yuan in my wallet into the broken bowl and said, "I have so much money on me now, as long as the information you provide is reliable, I will definitely take the money and send it to you tomorrow!" ”
The beggar picked up the money in the bowl and counted out four sheets and returned them to me with a smile: "Although I am a stinky dinnerman, I really don't care about this money, it is the rule for you to press money, and the ancestors set it!" It's called asking for money, and you have to keep it. ”
After the beggar finished speaking, he took out a yellow silk cloth bag from behind him and opened it, I thought it was a treasure, and I took a look at it, it turned out to be a pile of broken porcelain, and it looked like a broken bowl begging!
The beggar showed me the pile of fragments and then carefully put it away and said: "This bowl was passed to me by my master back then, and the begging bowl is a token and a symbol of status in our beggar gang, and the master passed the bowl to me to pass on his status to me!" ”
The beggar looked at me with a look of great pride.
When I saw this beggar's awesome appearance, I said in my heart, you are a homeless stinky person who wants food, what is there to be proud of, what kind of status do you have, if this broken bowl is not broken, you still want to pass it on gloriously!
After all, I have a request for people to think like this, I can't say that, I barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Congratulations on inheriting your master's status, since this bowl is so important, how can it be broken?" ”
The beggar seemed to be touched by my words, and sighed sadly, looked into the distance and recalled: "Last year, I went to the six rooms to beg for food, and that day I was so lucky that I lay on the ground all morning and actually asked for more than 100 yuan, just when I was happily about to go home from work, Ah Bao rushed over with his gang and kicked me down without asking!" And he insisted that I was begging for food here to bring him bad luck! Let him lose money playing cards, hehe......! ”
When the beggar talked about this, he sneered, and suddenly punched the cement pipe and said fiercely: "We beggars are the lower nine streams of the lower nine streams, and it is normal for people to kick and scold a few words, it's not a big deal, but we also have dignity and a bottom line!" ”
The beggar stood up and looked at me at this and said, "That bowl is the bottom line of our beggars, just like our lives!" Ah Leopard actually kicked and smashed the bowl that my master passed me! ”
The beggar's eyes were red at this time, as if he couldn't control his emotions a little, he clenched his fists and said: "At that time, I swore in my heart that I must abolish Ah Leopard and avenge this kicking bowl!" But Ah Leopard is too careful, usually go out with a large group of little brothers, there are also guys with rings, his eldest brother Ah Hu is inseparable from him, so I have not been able to find a chance to do it, that day I really can't wait to gather the brothers of the beggar gang in this city to prepare and Ah Leopard A Hu two brothers go directly to desperately, what I didn't expect is Ah Leopard and his eldest brother Ah Hu let you settle hahaha! At that time, I thought that I, Wang Tiejiao, owe you a great favor! The beggar grabbed my hand and laughed.
I felt awkward when I was grabbed by this beggar's greasy big hands, especially when his big hands had just buckled his feet!
Ay! I'm not that hypocritical person, this beggar has helped me so much, how can I dislike him for being dirty, thinking of this, I also held the beggar's hands tightly.
