Chapter 329 He Ning Arrives
Hearing someone shouting "Catch a thief", Dai Qing, who was standing under a tree, saw a child about ten years old running towards her.
Not far behind him, a middle-aged woman who looked angry and frustrated was chasing after him.
Places like train stations and bus stations have a mixed flow of people and are security-critical areas no matter where they are.
No matter how good the precautions are, people still get stolen.
But acts like releasing children to act as pickpockets are the result of instigation by people behind the scenes.
Seeing the little boy about to run past her, Dai Qing quickly grabbed the boy by the collar and lifted him up.
The little boy's feet suddenly left the ground, and he immediately started to grab Dai Qing with his claws and teeth.
Although he is just a child, his eyes are fierce and cruel, just like an underage wolf cub.
At this moment, the middle-aged sister-in-law who was chasing after him with great effort bent over, held her legs with both hands, and gasped heavily.
"You little thief, you are so naughty at such a young age. You actually learned to be a thief. What did your parents teach you?"
Having said that, he went straight to work, searched the child's body thoroughly, and finally took out a square wallet from his trouser pocket. After opening it and checking, his expression finally looked a little better.
"Thank you, little sister, for helping me catch the thief. I can tell at a glance that this kid is not a good person. In my opinion, he should be sent to the police station and let the police discipline him."
Hearing the tone of his sister-in-law, before Dai Qing could say anything, the pickpocket, who was furious just now, suddenly changed his expression and became tearful and pitiful.
"Auntie, sister, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."
"What do you mean you don't dare? You look like a habitual offender. Who knows how many times you have stolen."
"Auntie, this is my first time. My grandma was sick and needed medical expenses. I had no choice but to steal. Please forgive me. I really won't do it again."
"You're lying. Your grandma is sick. You have your parents. Why would a kid like you come and steal things?"
"What I said is true. My father is dead and my mother ran away with someone. Now my grandmother and I are the only ones who depend on each other. If I were arrested, my grandmother would definitely die of illness."
Hearing this, the sister-in-law who lost the purse hesitated for a moment, looking a little reluctant.
Seeing the young man's expression as if he was about to succeed, Dai Qing couldn't help but laugh.
The sister-in-law was kind-hearted and felt sorry for the pickpocket, but unfortunately the pickpocket was a habitual liar.
From his facial features, it can be seen that the boy's parents are both alive, but he was lost when he was young and was adopted by someone and trained to be a pickpocket.
He has become a habitual thief at such a young age and has no sense of right or wrong, let alone self-respect. Even if he is handed over to the police, he will be detained for a few days at most and released after being given a few words of admonition.
As for the mastermind behind his training, he would never show up in public for a child.
Even so, Dai Qing wanted to send him to the police and give him a lesson.
"This kid didn't tell the truth. It's better to leave him to the police."
"Is this okay?"
The middle-aged sister-in-law was a little hesitant. What if what the boy said was true? Wouldn’t it delay the old man’s treatment?
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
It's obvious that my sister-in-law doesn't travel far often and has limited experience.
Dai Qing twisted his hands behind his back and half pushed and half carried him to the railway police station.
The little pickpocket found out that Dai Qing took it seriously, and he cried and begged for mercy with snot and tears, which made the sister-in-law next to him feel sorry for him.
"Little sister, why don't we let him go this time? What if his grandmother is really sick?"
The pickpocket listened and immediately climbed up the pole, looking at Dai Qing eagerly.
"I'm telling the truth, I swear."
"It's no use swearing. Although you were lost when you were young, your parents are still alive. Besides, you don't have a grandparent in your life."
When Dai Qing said this, not only the little boy was stunned, but also the sister-in-law next to him was stunned.
"Little sister, is what you said true?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
Dai Qing stopped talking and looked down at the little boy.
"I handed you over to the police, which is actually a disguised way of saving you. Who knows, I might even be able to help you find your biological parents."
Hearing this, the little boy was stunned. He stopped struggling and looked at Dai Qing with his big eyes blinking.
How is it possible to help him find his parents?
"I have been an orphan since I was a child. I am an abandoned orphan."
"You are not an orphan, you are a child with a father and a mother."
Dai Qing looked at his face and finally her eyes fell on her ears. What a pity, this boy had a pair of mouse ears.
Rat ears, with ear tips that point high and upward, and weak and unreliable ear roots. Such people, even if their ears are higher than their eyes, will never become saints. They will always steal petty things. If they do not repent, not only will their family business be ruined in their later years, but they will also be unable to avoid imprisonment.
The mouse-eared one is good at stealing, and he is poor and broke.
This child has been taught a wrong lesson. He can only be reformed if he is handed over to the police.
"Those who teach you to steal are bad people. They deliberately instill bad ideas in you. Only if you reform yourself will good results come out of this."
The elder sister-in-law who was following beside him heard Dai Qing's serious words and joined in.
"That's right. The police comrades have helped you find a home. Live a normal life from now on. Don't steal again, otherwise you won't be able to find a wife in the future."
The little boy listened to the continuous bombardment, pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes still showed his unwillingness.
"Don't be ignorant, kid. We are helping you because you are young. It is better for the police to help you find your biological parents than for you to be a pickpocket."
The little boy snorted, unable to get away, so he turned his head and stopped talking.
The two men sent him to the police station at the station. After explaining the situation to the police, they took a brief statement. Only after watching the child being taken away by the police did Dai Qing and his sister-in-law come out.
"Little sister, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would be in a mess today."
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
The sister-in-law thanked me again and again before leaving with her package.
Dai Qing looked down at her watch, found a conspicuous place to stand, and wait for He Ning. There was still an hour and a half before the train arrived.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, another group of passengers poured out of the exit, carrying large and small bags, and squeezed out, all looking in a hurry.
When there were only a few scattered passengers at the exit, Dai Qing saw He Ning walking out slowly, holding Xiao Hei's hand.
When Dai Qing saw the man, she waved at him immediately. Before He Ning noticed, Xiao Hei broke free from his hand and rushed over.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, don't run. This is the capital. If you get lost, you won't be able to find your master."
He Ning followed Xiao Hei all the way until he saw Dai Qing. He then stopped and rubbed the dog's head.
"Hey, you have a very good nose."
