The two security guards immediately turned their attention to Lin Mo and An Youyu, but before they could ask anything, the old man who had helped them spoke up and gave a brief account of what had happened.
The two security guards looked at each other, their expressions more interesting than the last.
"Back to currency codes?"
Seeing that the two seemed incredulous, the old man smiled and said, "Comrade security guard, everyone present can testify to this."
Everyone nodded in agreement, providing confirmation.
Regardless of the outcome of this matter, the girl did indeed memorize the currency code.
This is an established fact that no one can deny.
The old man didn't say anything more, but handed the banknotes in his hand to one of the security guards, saying, "If you don't believe me, you two can verify it yourselves."
The security guard didn't mince words; seeing is believing. After taking the banknotes, he randomly picked one, turned to look at An Youyu, and said, "CYT."
"*
8748.
Without the slightest hesitation, An Youyu recited the subsequent currency codes again.
In an instant, the two security guards had their answer and turned to look at the beggar on the roadside.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I……"
The beggar's face turned pale and then red; he never expected things to develop this way.
He was genuinely flustered when questioned by the security guard.
Despite his panic, he wasn't stupid. He couldn't admit it at this point, since this place was a blind spot for surveillance. As long as he insisted that the money was his, even if the girl could recite the currency code, it wouldn't be evidence that he had cheated her.
At most, he won't be able to swindle the money, but the other party also won't be able to hold him accountable.
After understanding this, the beggar's panic subsided considerably. "Officers, this money really is what I begged for. Even if this girl can recite the currency code, what does that prove?"
"Who would bother memorizing the currency codes on money? I certainly couldn't, but does not being able to memorize them prove that the money isn't mine?"
Upon hearing this, everyone could hear the scoundrel's intention in the beggar's words.
Those who had spoken up for the beggar were now filled with shame.
Although the two security guards looked grim, they really couldn't do anything about the beggar.
As Lin Mo said before, everything in this era requires evidence, but the biggest problem now is the lack of evidence.
Lin Mo approached the security guard, smiled politely, and then asked, "Can I return this money to my classmate now?"
The security guard looked conflicted and whispered, "Young man, I personally believe this money belongs to your classmate, but the key issue is that we can't prove it right now, so we can't return the money to you for the time being."
Hearing this, An Youyu, who had just arrived, was filled with desolation. "Uncles, the money was originally mine; this was the money I was saving to buy gifts for my elders."
The girl's appearance and soft voice made the two security guards' hearts tremble. However, as law enforcement officers, they could not resolve such public disputes based on subjective judgment. Before finding evidence, they could not return the money to one party.
Seeing that the two remained silent, An Youyu understood. She forced a smile and tugged at Lin Mo's finger, "That's good. At least it has been proven that we didn't steal the money. Justice will prevail."
Sensing the girl's inclination, Lin Mo couldn't help but pat her head. "Don't worry, I have a way."
After saying that, he looked at the beggar on the ground to his left and said, "You said this money is yours, right?"
"Correct."
Although the beggar was a little unsure why Lin Mo asked this question, he knew he couldn't give in now that things had progressed this far.
Lin Mo smiled knowingly, "But you said there were only six or seven hundred-yuan bills, yet this amount of money is over a thousand. How do you explain that?"
Without a second thought, the beggar replied, "How should I know? Anyway, your classmate took a stack of banknotes that someone else had given her from my bowl. Maybe she deliberately put the banknotes together to confuse the situation."
Lin Mo wasn't angry at the beggar's answer and continued to ask, "Then how do you know my classmate took six or seven hundred yuan from your bowl?"
"Of course, I counted them!"
"OK!"
Lin Mo smiled, turned around and said to the security guard, "Since he counted the money, let's check his fingerprints."
Upon hearing this, the beggar's face changed drastically. To avoid appearing timid, he deliberately mocked loudly, "It's only a few hundred yuan, and you still need to check your fingerprints? Do you really think the security guards are idle?"
Little did he know that the more he did this, the more it seemed like he was trying to cover something up.
A tall security guard narrowed his eyes and smiled as he replied, "You're absolutely right. We're fine for now. Since there's no evidence, a little trouble isn't unacceptable."
After saying that, he turned to another security guard and said, "Call Old Li and tell him to bring his equipment over here. I need an answer today!"
"it is good!"
The beggar's expression changed repeatedly.
But Lin Mo's counterattack didn't end there. He spoke up again: "By the way, this guy isn't disabled."
These words caused another uproar among the onlookers.
Not disabled?
Even An Youyu was very surprised, her eyes filled with confusion.
The beggar, his face ashen, erupted in fury and shouted, "Are you crazy?"
Lin Mo ignored the beggar, walked towards him with a smile, grabbed a corner of the futon under the beggar, and pulled hard.
"Shoot..."
A sound of fabric tearing rang out.
The truth has been revealed!
The beggar's legs, hidden in the prayer mat, were exposed to the air without any cover; in fact, a thick layer of sponge was placed under his legs, which was particularly ironic.
The expressions on the faces of the people around were quite interesting, and many of them, who were short-tempered, had already started cursing.
"So this guy thinks everyone's stupid? Damn it!"
"They have no bottom line, they have absolutely no shame!"
Why do I feel like swearing so much?
"Social trash!"
...
Seeing that he had been exposed, the beggar simply stopped pretending to be stupid and stood up in front of everyone, shamelessly saying, "So what if I'm not disabled?"
"Is there any law in the Xia Kingdom that forbids pretending to be disabled to beg? I haven't broken any laws!"
Lin Mo chuckled, "I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect you to actually know the law. It seems you really did a lot of research before you started begging."
"Nonsense, you have to understand a profession before you can do it!"
The beggar glanced at Lin Mo with disdain, his expression quite arrogant.
His expression infuriated many people.
Are scammers this brazen these days?
Lin Mo sighed, "The law is only the most basic moral constraint on people. Your way of cheating may not have broken the law, but it violates the basic morality of society. In other words, you don't deserve to be called a human being."
The beggar cursed, "Go to hell! You don't even deserve to be called a human being!"
Lin Mo moved swiftly and arrived in front of the beggar in an instant.
"Snapped--"
The sound of a hand slapping against flesh was incredibly crisp...
Chapter 217 Humanity always needs kindness!
"You...you...you dare to hit me?"
The beggar was incredulous at Lin Mo's sudden action.
Keep in mind that there were two security guards standing there, and at least a hundred people watching from the sidelines. How dare this hothead take the initiative against his opponent?
After the initial shock came a pleasant surprise.
He had been forced into a corner, but now that Lin Mo had made a move, it gave him a reason to retaliate.
The beggar immediately looked at the two security guards beside him and said angrily, "Officers, you saw it yourselves. This kid dared to commit violence in the street. He's completely disregarding the law and it's an insult to you!"
Even Lin Mo had to admit that this beggar was quite adept at stirring up trouble.
In one sentence, he was pinned on two huge accusations!
The two security guards exchanged glances, but before they could say anything, Lin Mo's voice rang out again, "Uncle Security Guards, you just saw it yourself. The other party insulted my mother, and I couldn't hold back, so I hit him. Of course, I don't deny my mistake, and I'm willing to compensate for this."
"compensation?"
Upon hearing this, the beggar instantly had an idea. In front of hundreds of people, he lay down on the ground and cried out in pain, "I can't take it anymore, I'm about to be beaten to death! Is there no justice? Is there no law?"
This action left onlookers dumbfounded.
"my God!"
"This is... utterly shameless!"
How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
"Looks like this guy's trying to scam us!"
...
"Heavenly justice? The law?"
After seeing the beggar throwing a tantrum on the ground, Lin Mo revealed a mocking smile, slowly walked up to the beggar, squatted down, raised his hands first, and then brought them down heavily in front of hundreds of stunned gazes.
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
After slapping him twice, Lin Mo felt incredibly refreshed. "You want justice and the law? I happen to have two slaps, one called Justice and the other called Justice. You're welcome. My name is Gu Fan."
The beggar was stunned by the beating.
To him, everything that had just happened felt like a dream.
