Leaving the Hilton Hotel, Xiong Jiandong planned to take Metro Line 4 to Zhongguancun.

Xiaozhu has been detained by the police for several days, and he plans to stop by the detention center to meet him.

Kidnapping, bombing, and even homicide may be related to the prosecution of Xiaozhu, and it is very likely that he will be sentenced to more than a few years. How to reduce Xiaozhu's sentence has become Xiong Jiandong's heart.

At the entrance of the subway, a pair of beggars who were "husband and wife partners" called Xiong Jiandong.

The man was in his sixties, with a broken arm and a crutched leg; The woman was of the same age, carrying a cloth bag full of holes, only opening her mouth and not speaking, looking like a mute.

Both of them are wearing begging "work clothes" and holding professional "props" in their hands. They led Xiong Jiandong to a secluded place, and the man handed him a cigarette.

"Uncle Dacheng, Second Aunt Yang, how is business today?" Xiong Jiandong asked in a low voice.

"It's okay!" Uncle Dacheng replied, "There must be seventy or eighty yuan." ”

"I'm better than Lao Zhang, and I earned more than 100 yuan in one morning!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Aunt Yang also spoke in dialect.

She took out a stack of medical records from the cloth bag, as well as an electrocardiogram and a few X-rays, and thanked Xiong Jiandong: "Thanks to your beggar strategist's tricks, the things picked up from this trash can really come in handy!" ”

Indeed, her money-making chain tool comes from Xiong Jiandong's idea germinated from a rag-picking hand.

The person who was called Uncle Dacheng by Xiong Jiandong was surnamed Zhang, a fellow villager of Yao Shunzhu in Yizhou, and also the uncle of Xiong Jiandong's sworn brother Zhang Erge in Jiuwei Mountain.

Some time ago, it was through being a beggar's uncle here that Second Brother Zhang found out the whereabouts of Granny Yao's youngest son, so that as soon as Xiong Jiandong returned to the capital, he quickly got in touch with Xiaozhuzi.

As a common social phenomenon, armies of beggars abound throughout the country. Especially in a metropolis like Beijing, as long as there is a place to stay that is not forcibly controlled, such as overpasses, underpasses, subway station entrances, etc., there are always traces of professional beggars everywhere.

Many of them are disguised as disabled, or slightly mild but more severe; Others pretend to be seriously ill elderly people, or beg for surgery fees for their children.

Not far from the car wash where Xiong Jiandong works, there is a shantytown that has not yet been renovated, and the area is not large, only a few dozen families live.

With Zhang Da as the leader, he took a number of beggars and people who picked up rags under his command and lived here. Usually, they have the same schedule as office workers, starting early in the morning and finishing work in the evening.

Uncle Dacheng has been a beggar for more than ten years.

In his early years, he worked at a construction site in the capital, and after half of his body touched a high-voltage power line and cut off an arm, he began a career of begging.

Most of the beggars are in groups, so there are often disputes over territory and right of way, and they generally cannot fight alone.

An important job of Uncle Dacheng is to combine the roles of his beggar team from time to time and change the begging roadmap. Otherwise, there will always be a pair of familiar faces, an old place, and where there are still people willing to give money.

Today, it is Uncle Dacheng and Aunt Yang who are paired as a temporary husband and wife, touting business at the subway station here.

Xiong Jiandong has nothing else to go to the capital these days, and spends most of his time with neighborhood vendors, homeless workers, and even beggars and picking up tattered greetings, and always maintains an inseparable relationship with them, making up some ideas for everyone, and invisibly becoming a member of the beggar team, and being flattered as "beggar's head military advisor!" ”

But he almost followed him and begged along the streets.

On the one hand, Xiong Jiandong sympathizes with these weak people who are struggling to survive; On the one hand, he himself is also feeling the hardships and hardships of life at the lowest level of society.

Of course, he also had another layer of longer-term considerations, that is, once he had the clues of Representative Tan in the capital, he asked Zhang Dacheng's group of beggars to help, and sent people to wait at the door of the general's house to monitor the guests.

At this time, Zhang Dacheng asked, "Brother Xiong, why did you come here?" ”

"I'll ...... Visit an acquaintance. "Xiong Jiandong can't say that he went to the Hilton Hotel for dinner, which will scare the two beggars in front of him." Now, I want to take the subway to meet the little pillar. ”

"I'll buy you a ticket." The enthusiastic Aunt Yang said that, and hurriedly ran to the subway ticket office.

"Poor little pillar, there is no help now, I am sure that I will be shot!" Zhang Dacheng regretted. "Speaking of which, the waitress in the hot pot restaurant is hateful enough, if it weren't for her repeated provocations, Xiaozhu wouldn't have caused such a big thing on impulse!"

"Tell me, how did that girl provoke the little pillar?" Xiong Jiandong's heart moved.

"That day, Xiaozhu asked a few of us to drink at the stall, and the waitress and her new boyfriend happened to pass by." Zhang Dacheng said, "The man took out a fruit knife and threatened Xiaozhu, and if he dared to provoke the waitress in the future, he gouged out Xiaozhu's eyes." The waitress also threw the fruit knife in front of the little pillar and said to the little pillar that if there was a kind, kill her! ”

"So on the day of the accident, the fruit knife used by Xiao Zhuzi was owned by the waitress and her boyfriend, not planned by him in advance?" Xiong Jiandong was horrified.

"Exactly!" Zhang Dacheng said, "Later, we pushed the waitress and her boyfriend away, and the fruit knife was kept. ”

"Uncle Dacheng, you saved the little pillar!" Xiong Jiandong said happily.

He waited for Aunt Yang to buy a ticket to come over, and without thanking him, he immediately got on the subway.

If what Uncle Dacheng said is true, this will be a very favorable and important evidence for Xiao Zhuzi's case, and it will even lead to an unexpected reversal.

Because the fruit knife is used as the key evidence in the kidnapping and robbery case, if Xiao Shunzi was prepared to bring it with him before, it means that he had a motive for the murder. Conversely, if the waitress's new boyfriend had prepared and indeed used it to threaten Xiao Zhu, of course there would have been a new version of the situation.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jiandong immediately had a sense of relaxation.

The small pillar has a smoking addiction. At a small supermarket opposite the detention center, Xiong Jiandong bought two packs of cigarettes. Seeing the bags of duck legs and tea eggs on the shelves, he was quite hesitant.

When he left Jiuwei Mountain, Miaoxin Daogu gave him the money, and after a period of spending, there was not much left.

But not far from the supermarket, he couldn't help but think of Granny Yao, who had been thinking about her son. So he turned around again and took out all the dozens of dollars he had on his body.

Now, Xiong Jiandong is penniless. Fortunately, now that he is mixed with Zhang Dacheng and a group of beggars, he has food and shelter for the time being, and as long as he is at the end of the month, he can receive the first piecework salary from the owner of the car wash.

Yao Shunzhu, who was brought up by the police officer from the trumpet, only allowed Xiong Jiandong to visit him for ten minutes.

Xiao Zhu was seen as an extremely dangerous felony, so when he met Xiong Jiandong, he was also handcuffed and shackled.

As soon as he waited for the police officer to leave, he immediately cried at Xiong Jiandong.
