Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 70 Witnesses
The little beggar hesitated, Ye Song raised his eyebrows when he saw that he didn't answer, and made a motion to take it back.Immediately, the little beggar rushed over, snatched all the buns, stuffed his mouth, looked at Ye Song, looked like a little frog, very funny.

After the little beggars had finished eating, Ye Song asked, "Are you from Liujiaxiang?"

The little beggar shook his head in fear and shrank back.

Ye Song asked again: "What did you see that night?" She was sure that the little beggar knew something.But she was not in a hurry, she reached out to touch the little beggar's head, and smiled warmly, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but if you are afraid, it will feel better if you say it." The little beggar blinked, she turned her head and stretched out her hand Unceremoniously stuffing it into Su Chen's lapel, Su Chen was stunned, then she generously took out some broken silver that the owner of the restaurant found just now, put it into the little beggar's little hand, and said, "Don't let others know about your money." Do you know if you have money, if you don’t mention this matter, you won’t be afraid, right? When you can’t get anything to eat, you can secretly buy two meat buns yourself.”

After finishing speaking, she stood up, pulled Su Chen and walked away without looking back.

Turning around the intersection, Su Chen said coldly: "You really know how to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Ye Song looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's just a piece of silver, why are you so serious, it's not like you're short of money."

"Then why don't you pay for your meals and charity?"

Ye Song took it for granted, "Because of you."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, he couldn't tell what he felt, as if something was slowly popping out like bubbles.Ye Song ignorantly added as he walked: "How can you say that you are also my nominal husband now, with such a rich man, what money should I bring with me when I go out, don't you think so?"

Su Chen snorted coldly, and said after a while: "Since he knows, why didn't you ask again?"

"Didn't you see that he was scared?" Ye Song said, "And it's very pitiful."

"I didn't see that you were so kind."

"Occasionally I'm kind." Ye Song said calmly, with a slight sense of sadness in his expression.She still remembered that she was like that little beggar when she was very young, and she was even more pitiful than that little beggar before she was sent to the orphanage by the police station.

After walking a few more steps, an anxious and immature cry came from behind: "Big sister!"

Su Chen was taken aback, Ye Song curled the corners of his mouth, and said again: "Because good people will be rewarded." She turned around, and saw that it was the little beggar who was just running towards her in a hurry. With a broken bowl in his hand, he bent over and gasped for breath.Ye Song looked at his red face, and asked with a smile, "How do you know I'm a big sister?"

What other people can't see, this little beggar can see right away.

The little beggar scratched his head embarrassingly, his eyes dodged, and said: "When you touched my head, I smelled it. Your hands smell very fragrant, and they are women's hands."

Ye Song sniffed it by himself in amazement, except for the oily smell of the food he touched just now, he didn't smell anything else. He couldn't help laughing: "You have such a good nose?"

The little beggar nodded shyly, and with his other little hand, he tightly held onto the broken silver that Ye Song had given him just now.

"Then why are you looking for me now?"

The little beggar was silent, and then whispered: "I saw that night..."

"What did you see?" Ye Song softened his voice, trying to induce him a little bit.

"I'm a beggar in Liu's Lane. It's not very cold yet. It's pretty good to sleep in a dilapidated corner with a straw mat to block the wind. I heard the screams when Uncle Liu died."

Ye Song pressed his trembling shoulders and asked softly, "Are you familiar with Uncle Liu?"

He shook his head and nodded again: "His wife and children have all run away, and he has a bad temper. People around him don't like him, but when he comes back from drinking at night and sees me, he will give me two copper coins, or give me hot water. steamed buns."

"Does he go out for drinks at night?"

"Yes, sometimes when I go out, I will bring things out to the guests."

"What did he bring?"

The little beggar said anxiously: "He packed it in a bundle, I can't see it, and I dare not ask."

"Is there anything strange about the day he died?"

"His business is not good during the day, and he sleeps behind closed doors when I go out to beg. In the afternoon, a female guest came into the house to look for him."

"Female guest?" Ye Song's heart rose.

The little beggar said awkwardly: "But I don't think it's a guest. It should be the girl from the Chunfengzui building on the next street. She went in and didn't come out for a long time. I was curious what they were doing with the door closed, so I went to listen for a while... ..."

Ye Song's expression relaxed, and he smiled, "Then what did you hear?"

The little beggar's dirty face turned red: "It's just...it's just...ummm..."

Ye Song squatted down excitedly and asked, "Then do you know what they are doing?"

Before the little beggar could answer, Su Chen beside him rubbed his forehead and reminded Ye Song, "It's off topic."

"Cough," Ye Song corrected his attitude, speculating, "I think you're right, it might be the girl in the building. Your uncle Liu often does this?"

The little beggar nodded: "The girls are the same every time, and they will change after a while." He sneaked a shy glance at Ye Song, then lowered his head, "It's just that they don't have big sisters. Pretty, a bit old."

Ye Song really felt that it was a bit off topic, so he asked instead: "What about at night?"

"At night..." The little beggar began to recall, thinking of bad things, his face gradually turned pale, "I was very hungry at night, and I slept wrapped in a mat, and no one found me. When I was in a daze, I saw A few guests went to Uncle Liu's shop at night..."

"What's so special about those guests?" Ye Song thought for a while and added, "For example, what clothes are they wearing, are they male or female, and what do they look like?"

The little beggar tried his best to think back, then shook his head: "It's nothing strange, they are all men, I can definitely smell them if they are women. At that time, it was very common for customers to go to the shop, and they came out soon. Until midnight ... Uncle Liu's shop was very loud, and there were people scolding him. I thought that some customer must be dissatisfied with the things he engraved, so he got mad, and then Uncle Liu suddenly called out... At that time, I was in the corner of the wall , soon someone came out with a bloody knife and ran away in a panic..."

Ye Song reached out and touched the little beggar's head again, trying to calm down his shrinking body, and asked, "Did you see his face clearly?"

The little beggar shook his head vigorously: "But there is a scar on the back of his hand holding the knife..."

"Is it the left hand?"

The little beggar nodded this time.

Ye Song glanced at Su Chen, the two had similar thoughts, and the murderer was almost that person.Ye Song lowered his voice and asked softly, "Then tell my sister, besides Old Uncle Liu and the man with the knife, is there any third person in the shop?"

"Not in the shop." The little beggar affirmed, "but there was a passerby who just walked past me...he didn't enter the shop, and was walking at night wearing a cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly."

Once the little beggar finished speaking, neither Ye Song nor Su Chen spoke, and were silent for a while.The plausible clues are broken here again.The little beggar asked cautiously: "Is there something I said wrong..."

"No, you spoke very well." Ye Song raised his lips and gave him a warm smile, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.She patted the little beggar on the shoulder, took him by the hand and led him out of the street, to a somewhat lively street, facing the passing pedestrians, Ye Song patted the little beggar's back and squatted down "Come on, my sister will teach you how to successfully beg." As he spoke, he aimed at a person and pointed, "Did you see that person, dressed in satin, handsome and handsome, with a flowery beauty beside him. Pounce on him Hug his thigh, and you won't leave until he gives you the money." The little beggar was a little timid, Ye Song pushed him out with a palm, "Don't be afraid, my sister will support you, go!"

Don't tell me, this little beggar is a talented actor, so he rushed over and hugged a handsome young man who was carrying a beautiful girl, crying, and begging for some reward, his movements and demeanor were quite realistic.The son didn't want to, but there was a beautiful woman by his side, so it was hard to lose face, so he dawdled for a while and saw that the little beggar was really hugging him tightly, and finally pretended to be generous and threw a few copper coins into the little beggar's broken bowl.

The little beggar never expected that it would be so easy to beg, and he sat on the street for a while, holding a copper coin and grinning.

Some of the women passing by were kind-hearted. Seeing that the little guy was so pitiful at such a young age, a few copper coins could make him laugh so happily, so those who had loose money threw a few more copper coins over.

When the little beggar came back, he had already obtained more than a dozen copper coins, and he smiled sweetly at Ye Song buoyantly.Ye Song then taught him a few more secrets: When begging, look for people who are kind-hearted, look for men and women who match men and women, look for rich and prodigal people, and never look for vicious people, sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked people, and bullies.Of course, sometimes it is inevitable to get punched if you don't recognize people clearly. As long as you don't lose heart, you can still be a successful beggar.

The little beggar is very teachable and full of confidence in the future.Before leaving, Ye Song smiled at him and said, "You have great potential, and one day you will be the leader of the beggar gang."

The little beggar bowed deeply to her gratefully, then turned around and ran away.Standing in the distance, don't forget to look back.

Su Chen's teaching to Ye Song was an eye-opener. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going under the sun, his usually cold eyes became warm, but he said: "If you sympathize with him, shouldn't you let him Stop being a beggar and teach him how to beg."

Ye Song laughed and said: "Through my sympathy and charity, he will no longer be a beggar. To be honest, what is the difference between this and other people's charity? The only difference may be that he wants to get other people's charity through himself. The hard work, the results obtained through the hard work will make him feel comfortable and live at ease. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Su Chen couldn't help but look at her twice.

The butcher shop on West Street and the hidden guards at Dali Temple have been keeping watch.For two whole days, no suspicious person came into contact with Fatty Butcher Wang.
