Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 16 Grafting
The old beggar wanted to say something when the child who had brought Liu Ke here shouted over, "Uncle Ning, are we still going to look for Guo'er?"

Lao Ning, the old beggar whose arms and legs had been removed, turned around and shouted, "Don't worry, Guo'er is fine. Wait there quietly! Don't go anywhere!"

Liu Ke turned his gaze back and asked, "The child from yesterday..."

"Well, the one you gave food to yesterday was Guo'er. After my legs were removed, Guo'er must have dropped something during dinner and returned here."

"The man didn't bother with me anymore, just grabbed the fruit and ran away."

Uncle Ning sighed and said, "Young man, to be honest... I'm familiar with the Beggars' Sect's methods. Guo'er is fine for now, but I can't say for sure what will happen in a few days."

Liu Ke was tired after squatting for a long time, so he put away his Naduotong uniform, laid the cello case flat, and sat on it himself.

The company did have records of the Beggars' Sect, but they were very limited. The materials Mr. Xu San provided to him contained no record of the Beggars' Sect's tactics, and even the battles between the company and the Beggars' Sect were only briefly mentioned.

"Can you please tell me what methods the Beggars' Sect has?"

Uncle Ning shivered, coughed a few times, and said, "It's too itchy. Do you have a cigarette? Please give it a squeeze first."

"No, I...I don't smoke."

"Hey, you see how unlucky I am that I even met a non-smoker."

Uncle Ning stretched his neck and let out a long, low roar. When he opened his mouth again, it was full of blood from his bitten gums.

"The Beggars' Sect was destroyed by you in the first place. It was destroyed too quickly. It's normal that you didn't take any part in it."

"Speaking of which, there aren't any nice tricks."

"It's nothing more than the skill of slapping a bead with one hand, which can make people faint when they touch it. Another skill is to tear off people's arms and legs, and just grab the joints and pull them off."

Old Ning said this, shaking the flesh of his broken shoulder again, and said to Liu Ke: "This one was removed the earliest, and it will be healed soon. You can peel it open again and take a look."

Liu Ke raised his eyebrows and rolled up the old man's left sleeve.

"what?"

A few minutes ago, Uncle Ning's broken arm was still a bloody mess, but now it has healed. A layer of skin has grown on the broken part, covering the protruding joint bones and flesh.

Just like... those beggars with broken limbs that I've seen on the Internet before.

Old Uncle Ning sighed and said, "The Beggars' Sect captures people to make money. This move is because they're afraid the tree will die."

"That's why Guo'er isn't anxious. Those people would first starve the little ones, especially the girls, for three days after they caught them to see if they were destined to become the "Altar Girl." The reason is, the price of a "Altar Girl" is high."

Then he added, "That's all their tricks are. They're all harmful and not very effective. Otherwise, how could they have been beaten to pieces by a few slaps from you guys back then?"

At this point, Old Uncle Ning paused again, his face solemn for a moment, and then he said, "But...but, there are also powerful ones. If you see the dogs they raise, you must be careful. This Beggar Gang is not good at anything else, but their dogs are powerful!"

"...Anyway...Anyway, that's what they used to say. I've never seen the dog, so I don't know what it looks like."

"If you want to find them, I don't know where to look, but since they've set their sights on us, they usually won't go too far."

After listening to him, Liu Ke thanked him and took a few steps before turning around and asking, "If you catch the person, will your arms and legs still be able to...?"

The old beggar's face was ashen, and he laughed dryly, "Hahahaha, thank you, young man. I don't know, haha, I've never seen it... Guo'er, I'm relying on you. It would be useless for us beggars to go there."

----

After leaving the construction site, Liu Ke had no idea where to go. He had fed the little girl yesterday out of a sense of kindness, and he was just trying his luck by looking for her.

But unexpectedly, such a child has been abducted by the Beggar Gang and even he himself cannot be found.

When I was asking Uncle Ning about something just now, he asked Heiqiang to check the surveillance footage and screen the people in the video.

Although the abandoned construction site where the beggars gathered had no electricity and no surveillance, there were many surveillance cameras on Jiefang North Street where the construction site was located.

Black Wall screened through hundreds of surveillance videos and found that except for Old Ningtou's group of real beggars, no one entered the construction site.

He had no other choice but to have Black Wall check the cell tower signal records. The base station at this construction site had separate coverage, so it was easier to check, but there was no signal last night either.

This means that the beggar gang member came here last night without a cell phone.

Whether in the cold storage or on the construction site, they don't have their phones with them. Are they all just savages? Don't criminal gang members need to reply "received" on their phones?
Sitting on the bench in McDonald's again, Liu Ke covered his face with his hands, feeling that he had done something wrong again. He always felt that the little girl might have been implicated by him.

"Woof! Woo! Woof..."

Until a Teddy Bear peed next to the Uncle Mike statue.

Watching the fat woman yank the dog's iron leash, causing Teddy to yelp, Liu Ke was lost in thought...

Yes! Dog...

According to the old beggar, this beggar gang keeps dogs... and dogs don't have cell phones... so even if there's surveillance, no one will notice the dogs.

Is that so? Let's try our best...

"Black Wall, change the video footage we've retrieved over the past two days to target dogs, and re-analyze it."

"Okay, master."

About 3 minutes later.

"Master, in the video related to the Xingquan cold storage, a dog was filmed twice at the 'south side wall' location. After comparing and analyzing the videos, it's most likely the same dog."

"In the September video footage of the abandoned mall construction site, the 'Zhonggong Education' camera on the north side of the site captured a dog twice. The dog in the video resembles the dog in the Xingquan cold storage video by 97% and 62% respectively."

Frowning, Liu Ke called out the four videos marked on the black wall in his mind and watched the two videos of Xingquan Cold Storage first.

Sure enough, as Officer Cong said, on the night when the unknown beggar was found in the cold storage, a camera in the factory captured a black Labrador at 8 o'clock in the evening.

In the second video, at the same location, an hour later, accompanied by a large-scale commotion among the police in the video, the black Labrador appeared again and returned along the same route.

Was it a coincidence? Liu Ke felt something was amiss, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he simply started watching the two marked videos of the abandoned construction site again.

Squinting his eyes, Liu Kexian clicked on the video marked on the black wall as having high similarity.

The video also showed a black Labrador. It showed the dog passing the entrance of Zhonggong Education and heading into the construction site at 10 p.m. Liu Ke had a feeling it was the same dog that had appeared at the Xingquan cold storage facility.

Liu Ke pulled out the video with low similarity again, but when he saw it, he couldn't help vomiting!
This video and the highly similar video were shot by the same camera. The time was 10:30 pm, and the video content shows a black Labrador emerging from a construction site.

Is this still... a Labrador?
What made him vomit was this dog. Its head and body were normal, but its limbs looked like they had been grafted on, with human arms and legs...
