On a street in the middle floor, the sun was shining hot, just after 9 o'clock.

"Sir, I won't dare next time, please spare me."

A young man who looked to be in his twenties was tied to the door of a store with a sign on his body that said I was a thief.

The man begged, wet all over his body, and the shopkeeper looked like a man, holding up a rattan in his hand, and struck directly at the thief's body, and the thief wailed.

Many passers-by felt that the boss had gone too far, and they still waited for the administrators to come over, but the boss was still angry, until the thief's skin was open, and the rattan had been broken on the thief, and he kept struggling.

"I said you want to kill someone, forget it."

"Forget it?"

The boss's eyes widened, and he looked at the people pointing around and said, this thief used to visit his shop a few months ago, and would take something every day, and in the past few months, the boss has lost thousands of dollars in goods.

After the thief stole a bundle of eggs this morning, the boss caught him red-handed, and in order to catch the thief who frequented his shop, the boss could only pretend to be the latest surveillance equipment.

"It's not your turn to say Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's three children, my wife and I have been working hard for more than 20 years to finally open this grocery store, he is good, he has hands and feet, and comes to my store every day to steal things."

The surrounding criticism stopped, although many people pointed and pointed, they didn't say anything, after all, the loss of thousands of yuan of goods could not be done by this thief alone, there may be other people, this can be regarded as a warning to other thieves.

"I'm sorry, but please give way."

In the crowd, Jean smiled and pushed away the onlookers, with Locke Jiahui, Yu Wanrou, and Xue Wang by his side, who wanted to come to this grocery store to buy something.

"Lord Jean, just in time you're here."

The boss is an acquaintance of Jean, Jean often goes to the boss's store to replenish cigarettes, and the two get acquainted with each other, and the boss knows that Jean is the management officer, so he directly told Jean about the thief, and showed Jean the surveillance video.

"Don't use lynching next time."

"Don't move, bear with it, you can't work well with your hands and feet, stealing is not a long-term solution."

Locke untied the thief, he nodded tremblingly, and said thank you.

"What do you want!"

Jean watched as Locke was spraying the thief's wound with a swelling spray.

"Harrison! My lord, I'm really just a first-time offender, it's a holiday today, I've recently lost my job, and I still have someone in my family, just took a bunch of eggs. ”

"If you really can't find a job, go to the Eastern Farm."

Jean said and asked the boss to get a piece of paper, and then wrote down a string of characters, and asked Harrison to take the note and go to the eastern farm, at least have a job, and not have to starve.

Then Jean asked the boss to let the thief go, after all, the things were also brought back, and the boss nodded, and his anger disappeared a lot.

"Headmaster, isn't it too lenient, according to the law, theft, even if the amount is small, requires at least a week's labor punishment."

King Xue said, Yu Wanrou thought for a few seconds, and then said with some fear.

"I ...... I think it's too ....... to do this today."

"King Xue, everyone has a last resort, the principal just gave him a chance, if he continues to commit crimes, the life that awaits him next is gloomy, after all, it is a thief who will be easily caught, and he is destined to not be able to eat this mouthful."

"I hope so!"

Jean smiled, turned his head, and glanced at Harrison limping away in the crowd not far away, Jean didn't expose Harrison to his face, he knew very well that the guy was a habitual thief, he had seen it many times, and this time the miss was deliberate.

It's just that Jean has seen some of Harrison's good deeds, so he decided to give him another chance, once Harrison used the money he stole to help an orphanage survive a crisis, and he himself would go to the orphanage from time to time to work for free, but never mentioned his theft.

At this moment in an alley, Harrison turned in, dragged off his heavy coat in pain, and soon pulled out a lot of bits and pieces from the inner pocket of his coat on his back.

When Harrison was stealing in the store, the moment he realized that he was exposed, he picked up a bunch of eggs and put them in his arms like a novice, but he was directly caught by the boss, and he did not resist.

"I can't go to that store anymore."

Harrison, who is over 30 years old, is now a professional thief, he used to be a magician, and when he was seven or eight years old, he studied magic with a magician who was a street performer, but Harrison had no talent.

Magic in such an era, although many people look quite magical, but after watching a lot, they all know the technique, this ancient skill, has been fully interpreted, and it can't make any money.

Harrison used to be a regular nightly performer in a tavern, and he was able to eat a meal, but gradually tired of the customers, Harrison stepped down and went from place to place to perform some street performances, and his life was always difficult, and he was best at card magic, a kind of magic that relied on subtle quick hand work.

Harrison, who could not even pay the rent at one point, had been hungry for days, and he walked the streets blankly, he did not want to be like a beggar, giving up the last shred of dignity to beg.

That morning, Harrison was probably hungry and faint, looking at the food in the barbecue restaurant on the street, and unconsciously walked in, but when passing by a group of people, Harrison bumped into a man slightly, and when he entered the store and ate barbecue, Harrison reacted that he had no money, but he took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket.

Before he knew it, Harrison had done a perfect pickpocketing.

It's just that luck is good today, Harrison smiles, if he is brought back, some dirt hidden in the back pocket may be found, and then he will be finished.

"In the future, it's better to go to the store less and move on the street."

Harrison is not too obsessed with money, but everything that can be exchanged for money, from pendants on a woman's ears to some objects on other people's bodies, briefcases, satchels, and so on.

As long as it was something that could be exchanged for money, Harrison would steal, but it was too bad luck today, but soon Harrison laughed, because he saw a house not far away, just out of the door, and through the click of the door, Harrison laughed, the door was not closed.

Harrison is also very familiar with unlocking, he casually walked around the four circles, after making sure that there was no monitoring around the three-storey house, he came to the door, and easily pushed the door open, he went out to steal basically will not bring a lock picking tool, only during the day to make sure that there is no one in this household, and then confirm at night will he open the door lock and go in to steal.

This kind of theft Harrison basically doesn't do too many things in the same district, but keeps changing places.

Harrison quickly rummaged around the room, and in a short time, he found some of the woman's jewelry, as well as some medications, including a small safe.

Harrison didn't want to stay long, took the safe with him, and disappeared into the streets.

After a while, Harrison found himself in a cluster of buildings, and soon found a local black market exchange in a large courtyard.

"What's the good stuff today?"

Harrison took out jewelry and drugs, and after haggling with a black market merchant, he ended up with more than 600 dollars.

"Harrison, you also sold me the safe in your hand, this kind of safe is new, the price on the market is about 100, I will give you 80, the lock is not easy to open, and there is a remote tracking function."

Harrison proudly flipped up the safe, the electronic components behind the safe had been removed, the batteries inside had also been removed by Harrison, the electronic lock had lost its effect, and a cutter had to be used to destroy the safe, Harrison shook the safe, which made a sound similar to paper, it was full, and the space was occupied by paper.

"2,000 pieces!"

Harrison said, and many black market merchants around him also ran over with great interest, and many burglars would generally move over if they saw a small safe, and they would not open it themselves, but sold it directly to black market merchants.

Many people took the safe one after another, weighing, guessing the contents, some people think that it may be just documents, but some people think that there should be more money, but the amount is not known, the price of 2000 is not expensive, and some people are already planning to buy it.

In the end, someone had a heart and bought it directly, Harrison lost a few dollars, handed over the safety line to the man, and had to hire a professional to decipher the electronic lock, so the black market merchant brought a cutting machine on the spot, and everyone gathered around, wanting to see what was in the safe, this kind of gambling-like business, someone once spent thousands of dollars, and as a result, the safe was opened and a lot of useful things were opened, money or jewelry did not matter, and the most important thing was some extremely private things, business secrets, account books, secrets of tax evasion, etc., are usually able to find the owner and get a large sum of money.

As the safe was cut open little by little, everyone's eyes lit up.

"What is this?"

In an instant, the owner who bought the safe was speechless, and there were bursts of laughter next to him, a thick pile of child-like graffiti-like things, and extremely disgusting paintings, there were men, women, and eerie-looking paintings, thick stacks, rummaging through worthless things.

"Now you can only sell this safe, which weighs more than 20 kilograms, and these materials can be sold for up to 50 yuan."

Harrison put the money in his pocket helplessly, and the boss could only shake his head silently, willing to gamble and lose is the unwritten rule in the black market.

But when the boss asked where Harrison had gotten the safe, Harrison said it was under a floor tile and had found it from a child's room.

At this time, many people have found that these disgusting paintings have different styles, except for the disgusting point, some look like they are painted by adults, some are children, and some look like boys, and some are girls, because all the paintings have a name in the lower right corner, Billy.

Fonts are written in a variety of fonts, with different methods of writing, different tools used for writing, and even blood.

Harrison shuddered, and couldn't look at it, Harrison took out 500 yuan and returned it to the boss, but the boss shook his head and refused.

"Okay, willing to gamble and lose, you can take these things."

Harrison glanced at the words, and burned the painting in a random corner.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Harrison dragged the money in his pocket, intending to find a place to have a drink, after all, the harvest was rich today, and the money was enough for him to be free for a while, so he called a woman first and booked a door-to-door service tonight.

At this moment, however, a young boy with glasses sat in front of Harrison.

"Kid, there's someone here, don't you see?"

Harrison glanced at it, and the moment the little boy raised his head, Harrison was startled, and he swallowed.

"Kid, what are you doing?"

Harrison felt that there was something abnormal in the little boy's eyes in front of him, he looked thirteen or fourteen years old, and after thinking about it, Harrison still got up, intending to give up his place to the little boy.

"Billy!"

With a low voice, Harrison's eyes widened, and at the moment when he wanted to get up, he sat down, because the little boy in front of him suddenly lifted his shirt, a black pistol, and the pistol was aimed at himself, Harrison saw the black hilt, but he was not sure whether it was real or fake, Harrison, who had just wanted to get up, sat down again.

"What's the matter? Little handsome guy. ”

The child bared his white, neat teeth, and shook his head.

"Where did you hide my Billy?"

Harrison immediately became confused, and he raised his hand slightly and shook his head.

"Kid, where are you? I'm totally ....... what you're talking about."

"Do you want to give it a try? Use your life to test whether this gun is real or fake. ”

Harrison froze, and he swallowed.

"Give me back my Billy."

The paintings had been burned by Harrison, and the sides of his forehead were sweating, when the boy got up and moved the gun at his waist, and his eyes motioned for Harrison to leave the shop.

Harrison didn't want to go, because he was still confirming the authenticity of the gun, although he didn't know how the child found him, but if Harrison wanted to run, with this thin little body, he couldn't catch up with him, and he stole without leaving any evidence.

Suddenly Harrison realized something, a small circle of lines on the butt of the gun, as if he had seen it somewhere, was a children's toy gun.

Harrison laughed and stood up directly, he knew very well that he was panicked just now, so he didn't see it clearly, but now he can see it clearly.

"Child, it's better to do less to scare adults, what if you are injured?"

Harrison swaggered out of the store, and the little boy behind him followed.

"Give me back, give me back the Billys' communication with me!"

The little boy behind him let out a low roar, and Harrison deliberately walked into an alley, then shook his head.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

At this point, the little boy was no longer holding the toy gun, and Harrison was about to run away, but the little boy laughed coldly, pressed his head a little crazy, and let out a roar.

"Give it to me, give it back to me, that's the only way I can communicate with the Billies, I don't know what the Billies are talking about, what to tell me......."

Harrison turned and ran, and the little boy standing in the alley was back to normal, and he smiled slightly.

"You're going to regret it, you're going to regret it, he's going to regret it."

Three voices, three tones, and voice, and then a fourth tone that appears mature and steady.

"Everyone, don't worry, no one can commit crimes for themselves, if they get away with it, I will punish him instead of you, I will give him the biggest punishment, a punishment that he will never forget for the rest of his life, so you can let go of your hands, I won't do anything."

At this time, the little boy's hands were pinching his neck, and they were squeezing so tightly that his cheeks were already red.

"Everyone, my sincerity, you should be able to know that I will solve this matter, you just need to have dinner at home and spend the New Year in peace, I will let him know, what is the price!"

.......

Ran Zhi pushed the stroller, holding his daughter's hand, his son who couldn't walk at more than 1 year old, sitting in the stroller, he smiled slightly, one hand also pushed a cart full of goods, today he came to shop, tonight Ran Zhi invited a lot of friends to the house, he was very happy, this year, his life was a lot more comfortable.

"Hey, it's really the way to the sky."

Ran Zhi recalled that their lives were still tight in the past year, because the two children needed money, especially the youngest daughter, who would enroll next year and need a large amount of tuition, and Ran Zhi also wanted to send her to a good school, and at least she would have a decent job after graduation.

However, I managed to save enough money, but because my wife was sick, the money was used for treatment, and my wife's illness was cured, but the family fell into an economic crisis.

Ran Zhi also because he couldn't get used to those gangsters taking things in the supermarket at will, and conflicted with them, and then he was fired by the boss, and now Ran Zhi's food is sold to Sanlian Company, a company that has begun to take shape and developed liquid food, and now although most people are invested in the liquid food market, Sanlian's position has been stable.

Because this company spent a lot of money a few months ago to buy liquid food to scratch the jackpot, some people won tens of thousands, some people won hundreds, or thousands, but Ran Zhi won 200,000, which was the biggest award last year, although the tax went to a part, but this money is enough for the family to live well.

At this time, Ran Zhi's eyes were more on the other side, carrying a basket, and the white-haired handsome guy who was noticed by the women of the entire shopping mall, Ran Zhi was a little surprised, he planned to talk to this management officer after checking out quickly, because he stopped himself that night, and now he has reaped happiness.

Even Ran Zhi wanted to have two drinks with him, every time he was in a desperate situation, Ran Zhi would think of that night, and then his thoughts would be more enlightened.

"Sir, can you wait?"

Ran Zhi looked at the man who came out, still the same as six years ago, there was no change.

"Ah, you're the gun-wielding boy from that night!"

Jean smiled, and Ran Zhi nodded.

"Can you talk a little bit about it, sir, my name is Ran Zhi, what about you!"

"Jean!"
