The little beggar in front of Tang Qi was unkempt, wearing a tattered tracksuit, half of the left trousers disappeared, a dirty face, very ordinary, with many freckles, but a pair of eyes that were very bright, he should be a clever boy .
The two were about the same age, but the little beggar tried his best to shrink his body to the corner of the wall, for fear of touching Tang Qi.
Just now most of the homeless were greedily looking at the hamburger and hot dog in his hand, but this young man flinched and avoided. There was no stranger to Tang Qi in his eyes, as if he knew who Tang Qi was.
When he heard the question, he gave Tang Qi a hesitant look, then grinned, showing his leaky teeth, and said a little embarrassedly: "I was caught stealing bread before, and I saw you go through the entry procedures, and a very beautiful big sister."
Tang Qi was slightly taken aback by this answer, and asked casually, "Then why didn't you run away when you saw me, and you're not afraid that I'll make excuses to arrest you again?"
Tang Qi's words were of course intended to intimidate the little beggars. In fact, although he has this right, he certainly wouldn't use it like this. It's just that some vile policemen will occasionally vent their anger on these homeless beggars when they are in a bad mood.
Who knew that when he heard him say that, the little beggar immediately raised his head, with surprise in his eyes, and said expectantly: "Is it really possible? As long as you don't let people beat me up, and don't put me in a gang cage, I am willing to be caught. This way I can sleep well today and have a good meal.”
If it's the original body, after hearing this answer, I'm afraid they won't be able to understand the boy's thoughts.
But Tang Qi seemed to be aware of looking at the boy's left leg, which was missing the trouser leg. The calf muscles were obviously atrophied. He was a disabled boy. This could explain why he didn't find a job to support himself, whether it was a factory or a store, he wouldn't do it. Hire a disabled child.
A lame child is not good at working, and he has to be responsible for accidents. If he is in a big federal city, he may be able to find a little work in a welfare institution.
Unfortunately, this is Meser City, a city that is thick but cold and dark.
His fate, if he is lucky, can probably rely on the help of some kind-hearted people and the leftovers on the street to live to adulthood, and then find a way to beg all the way to the big city, maybe there is more hope. If you are unlucky, you may meet a street gangster or a bad policeman one day, be beaten up, die in the harsh winter, and then be thrown into the stinky and cold corpse truck in the morning of the next day, and be buried with other corpses. incineration.
Although he is very young, he has already vaguely seen these two future paths, so he will try his best to seize the opportunities that may arise.
For example, at this moment, he was obviously hungry, but he firmly suppressed his urge to look at those tempting hot burgers exuding a strong aroma, and tried his best to show his sincere side in front of Tang Qi, a "big man".
Whatever the big man wants to do, it's probably a good thing for him, he has nothing to lose anyway, right
The wisdom of the people at the bottom!
Tang Qi's insight naturally saw through the thoughts in the little beggar's heart, so he silently praised.
Then, Tang Qi asked, "What's your name?"
"Macauley!"
"Sir, my name is Macaulay."
Macaulay was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied.
"follow me!"
Tang Qi didn't say much. After confirming the target, he got up and walked out of the alley.
Behind him, McCaw got up as fast as he could, and then limped to keep up.
Walking outside, Tang Qi took Macaulay to a secluded place, first handed him the hamburger and hot dog in his hand, and then said straight to the point: "Two choices, eat the food and go back, just treat it as what I did today did a good deed."
"Or, do one thing for me, some dangerous things, and you will get a reasonable reward after you succeed."
…
Not surprisingly, the little beggar named Macaulay finally chose the latter.
Then he got a note from Tang Qi with an address written on it. What Macaulay has to do is very simple, that is, go to that address, and try to monitor the conversations of several targets or get some information in a secret way. .
In the evening, come to Tang Qi to report again.
That address belonged to one member of the Samra family, two to be exact.
But it's not Abu who is leading the family now, nor Baragon and Georgina, but the pair of twins, sisters Hariya.
Although the pair of fat sisters are unemployed, they are currently studying in a pottery studio in Newton.
According to Morgan Sr.'s diary, the sisters' goal was to become artists.
Their actions have won the support of the family, especially the old Morgan himself. For this, the old Morgan has paid a lot of money, even though the two sisters have grown up long ago, they should support themselves.
Perhaps because he has no heirs, old Morgan has become so fond of the second generation of his family, sisters Abu and Hariya, that he almost responds to every request. The money he got from serving the Tang family for 20 years is spent on To support the family.
From the diary, Tang Qi could see the old Morgan's obsession with the family.
Unfortunately, the diary he used to record family memories has now become one of Tang Qi's weapons.
The reason why Macaulay was not allowed to monitor Abu or the Baragon couple was because they all knew black magic, especially Abu, just the impression on the photo gave Tang Qi a dangerous feeling. For all his cunning, Macaulay was almost certain to die if he made a mistake.
The most important thing is that Tang Qi will be implicated.
The Hariya sisters are not so dangerous. The twins have no talent for witchcraft. They have no other hobbies except food and "art". In addition, they are separated from all family members during the day, so they are the most suitable monitors. object.
Of course, when assigning tasks to Macaulay, Tang Qi also reminded that if Abramovich, Baragon, or Georgina were found, they did not need to monitor and left directly.
As for why Tang Qi didn't go by himself, the first reason was that it was inconvenient to use the "Mist Body" during the day, and the entire Samra family would gather together at night. Once discovered, Tang Qi had to start a war with them in advance. Although Tang Qi had already made preparations, he always felt that the time had not yet come.
If Macaulay can bring back key information, great.
There is no gain, and it doesn't matter, this is just a idle time. Before the unknown "decisive battle" came, it would not do any harm to Tang Qi to play a few more idle coins. The most he paid was a little money and a bag of hamburgers and hot dogs.
If this idle piece can bring some information, it will be a big profit.
Sometimes, one piece of information can change many things... .
"Maybe, maybe there will be some surprises."
Tang Qi looked at Macaulay's leaving figure, said something silently, then turned and walked towards Mercer Police Station.
