Picking Up Fragments

The police arrived quickly and started investigating the situation with the crowd, as well as questioning the beggar on the ground. They also thought it was just a case of Jiang Siming bullying a beggar.

"Sir, can you give me two minutes?"

Jiang Siming stood firm in front of the police.

"Do you realize your mistake now?"

"Want to apologize now? No way!"

"Comrades, take him away, and this woman too, they're both despicable!" ...

The onlookers thought Jiang Siming wanted to apologize, and their anger also rose with the beggar's. This was essentially a civil case; even if Jiang Siming had bullied the beggar, all the police could do was criticize and educate him. So the police thought it was better to avoid trouble and let it go if he was willing to apologize.

"Alright, we'll give you the time." The police agreed.

The onlookers stopped making a fuss, all quieting down to wait for the 'apology and confession' show. Jiang Siming released Yin Zhirou and walked straight to the beggar on the ground, squatting down and looking him in the eyes, he said, "Since you've made yourself out to be so pitiful and everyone is willing to believe you, are you willing to cooperate with me once more?"

"What kind of cooperation? Cooperate to be a villain?" The beggar sneered, a smug smile creeping up on the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Siming didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Since you're already in such a dire situation, what do you have to fear?"

"Alright, I'll cooperate with you. Whatever you want to do, my life is worthless anyway." The beggar said very 'cavalierly.'

"Don't worry, we all support you!"

"That's right, I have 300 yuan, you can take it all!"

"I have 200 yuan."

"I have over 800 yuan, all for you, go and live well with your son."

"The world is full of genuine feelings, don't worry, we'll definitely handle this for you!" ...

The onlookers were moved by the beggar's words and began to take out their money. Altogether, it amounted to tens of thousands of yuan. The beggar's eyes widened. He knew these people were easy to deceive; otherwise, how could he have so easily followed Jiang Siming's words?

"Sir, how do you want me to cooperate with you? Just tell me, and I will do as you say. I only hope you won't waste too much of my time. My son hasn't eaten yet, and I'm afraid he'll starve," the beggar said, wiping away his tears.

Jiang Siming smiled and said, "I won't keep you long. Just don't think about anything right now, and only look at me."

"Look at you? Okay, I'll look at you." The beggar was very cooperative. Actually, he just wanted to get rid of Jiang Siming as soon as possible so he could collect the few ten thousand dollars. The beggar's eyes fixed on Jiang Siming, while his mind was filled with sarcasm. He wanted to see what tricks Jiang Siming would pull.

Jiang Siming also stared at the beggar, his eyes exuding a powerful hypnotic force. [Hypnosis], this was a red skill he had obtained a long time ago, which he had never had the chance to use. Today, he finally had the opportunity, and he didn't even know its power yet. After staring at Jiang Siming's eyes for a few seconds, the beggar began to feel dizzy, and his eyes became unfocused. "You're very sleepy, right? Listen to me, close your eyes now and go to sleep."

After saying this, Jiang Siming snapped his fingers. A surprising scene unfolded; the beggar really closed his eyes, lowered his head, and fell asleep! Looking at him, it was clear he wasn't acting; it seemed like he was truly asleep. Passersby's minds flashed with scenes they had often seen on TV—hypnosis! This man was indeed a legendary hypnotist; they never thought such skills really existed. How did he do it? Wasn't the process of hypnotism supposed to be complicated? Why did he just snap his fingers, and the beggar fell asleep? Qian Xiaojia held up her phone, the camera capturing everything clearly, with over ten million people watching the live stream.

This was the most glorious moment in the history of Qian Xiaojia's live streams. He so wished that every day from now on would be like this, but unfortunately, this time it was because of Jiang Siming. Yes, most of the audience came for Jiang Siming's fame.

"Holy crap! Is this really hypnosis?"

"Ming God is also a hypnosis master!"

"666666, unlocking another new skill of Ming God!"

"Haha, so what if you're a hypnosis master? You're still someone who discriminates against dogs!"

"Trying to hypnotize someone to prevent them from speaking? Dream on!"

"No matter how many skills you have, Ming God is still a scumbag!"

"Can those brainless haters shut up? Please finish watching before you comment, okay?" ....

Seeing that the beggar really seemed to be asleep, Jiang Siming did not stop. Instead, he continued, addressing the beggar, "Lift your head up."

The beggar obediently lifted his head, but his eyes were still closed, in a half-asleep, half-awake state, like someone sleepwalking. "I have a few questions for you, and you must answer truthfully."

"Alright."

"First question, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Fusen."

"What about the child?"

"I don't know."

What? Everyone was stunned, thinking they had heard wrong. Isn't this person the child's father? How could he not even know the child's name? Jiang Siming, however, remained calm and continued, "What is your relationship with the child?"

"No relation."

"Then where did the child come from?"

"He is a lost child from another province, whom I deceived. I broke his leg and made him beg with me." Whoa! As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue erupted in shock.

"Shut your mouths!" Jiang Siming roared at them without any hesitation. Everyone obediently closed their mouths, not daring to upset Jiang Siming in the slightest. The police had already surrounded the beggar. The leader asked the frightened little beggar a few questions, and the little beggar spilled everything. He said what happened was exactly the same as what the male beggar said, and now everyone believed it.

Truly unexpected, this beggar turned out to be a fraud! And a cruel and heartless one at that! He could do such a thing to such a small child, breaking his leg to gain sympathy.

"Please continue, sir." The police officer gestured for Jiang Siming to continue, his words carrying a hint of request. They felt that this beggar must have more criminal records and wanted Jiang Siming's help to uncover everything. Jiang Siming did not refuse and continued to ask the beggar, "Have you deceived any other children besides this one?"

"Yes."

"How many?"

"Three more, they were taken by my colleagues to beg in other places."

"Did you also beat and injure the other three?"

"Yes, I am the leader."

"Where is your hideout?"

"At Xinzhuang Pian Road XXX Street XXX Road XX." The police immediately jotted down the address: "Notify the other officers at the station right away to stake out this place. As soon as they return, apprehend them!"

Jiang Siming asked a few more questions, but there wasn't anything else. "Alright, I'm done asking. You can wake up now." With that, he snapped his fingers, and the beggar woke up.

"What happened? Sir, you... why did you arrest me?"
