Chapter 69 Police InterrogationXiao Bing"s eyes gleamed with sorrow . He sighed . "I"m sorry . I shouldn"t bring it up . "
"It"s nothing . " Dumba.s.s wiped his tears . "My mother said that as long as I"m living happily, she has nothing to worry about on the other side . Right now, I just want to fill my belly and find a pretty wife so that my mother will be at peace . "
"You will definitely find one . " Xiao Bing suddenly fell silent before smiling wryly . "Yet you"re still happier than me . At least you have a mother who loved you very much . "
Dumba.s.s stared at Xiao Bing in surprise . "Brother Bing . "
"My memory started with my life in an orphanage . I have no concept of mother or father . I don"t know who they are or why they abandoned me . " Xiao Bing chuckled . "That"s why I said that you are definitely happier than me . At least you were . When I was in school, all of the kids have parents except for me . At that time, I learned that parents are the hardest to get among the precious things . . . I became parentless since the day they abandoned me . "
Xiao Bing raised his overflowing wine cup and grinned . "Cheers!"
The bottles and their beer packs emptied one by one . They only left after finishing two packs of beer . Then, all of a sudden, two bullets flew toward them . Xiao Bing grabbed Dumba.s.s and instinctively dodged the bullets . Dumba.s.s had no idea what was going on because he was already drunk .
"d.a.m.n it, you"re so heavy! You should go on a diet . " After making a joke, Xiao Bing carried Dumba.s.s back to the barbecue place . He began to observe through the window . There were no more movements outside . It seemed that the sniper had retreated after missing the shot .
Who did this?
The Peony Fairy seemed to be the likeliest candidate but he had just been in her property, which would have been her best opportunity to strike . He thought it was possible that she sent the a.s.sa.s.sin to kill him while drunk .
Xiao Bing"s eyes were overwhelmed with the intention to kill . The alcohol in his system made him careless at the moment . If not for the conditioned reflex in times of danger that he had developed during his years of carrying out all kinds of dangerous missions, he could have died .
Most importantly, Dumba.s.s was just beside him . Although Xiao Bing was not afraid of the danger, he did not want to get people he knew involved . His intention to kill became increasingly strong .
Having sensed that there was no more danger, Xiao Bing took Dumba.s.s back to the noodle house . The place was packed with customers at the moment . Xiao Bing told Dumba.s.s to go to sleep while he began making noodles after a change of clothes . That was when the police came in . The leader was a valiant policewoman who seemed to be 26 or 27 . Not only was she tall and slim, but she also had a pretty oval face and a beautiful ponytail . There were three young policemen behind her .
"Are you Xiao Bing?" the policewoman asked in a cold voice .
Lots of people began looking his way . Xiao Bing was a little irritated . "Yes . What"s the matter?"
The policewoman frowned, apparently displeased . She took out her certification and said coldly, "I"m Jiang Wanting, the captain of the criminal police in Jinsha District . You"re suspected to be involved in two murders and trespa.s.sing . You need to come with us . "
Though she looked pretty, her words were not . Xiao Bing rolled his eyes and said leisurely, "Sis, you must be mistaken . I have always been a good citizen . "
Jiang Wanting sneered . "The wicked have never described themselves as wicked . Cuff him and take him with us!"
Most customers came to this noodle house for its delicious noodles . Some were to watch the kungfu cook make noodles . But no one expected to see this . They were not scared after hearing that Xiao Bing was involved in murders . Rather, they were even more mystified by this man . They put down their bowls and chopsticks and began watching the show .
Seeing the two policemen take out a handcuff and began coming his way, Xiao Bing sneered . "Looks like you guys learned nothing from Chang Huai"an!"
Their faces instantly changed . Their movements also slowed .
Jiang Wanting asked, "What . . . What do you mean?"
Xiao Bing answered indifferently, "You must be new here . What"s wrong? Haven"t you heard of it? Chang Huai"an illegally arrested me for personal reasons but his corruption and brutality were subsequently exposed . I"m a.s.suming that he has been sentenced by now . I am born with a curse . Don"t tell me you want to follow his footsteps?"
Jiang Wanting"s face changed instantly . "Don"t try to scare me . I know what I"m doing . If I break the law, I will take off the suit myself because I have become unworthy of it . I don"t need others to report me . But now I"m a policewoman doing my duty!" she said angrily .
After staring at her for a moment, Xiao Bing suddenly changed into his casual clothes . "I"ll go with you . "
Jiang w.a.n.gting looked at him in surprise . "Don"t give me that look . The reason I"m willing to go is that I"m a citizen of this country . I have to do my duty when I"m standing on this land . Besides, I can tell that you are not like Chang Huai"an . I don"t want to make it difficult for you . But I hope you can remember . . . "
"Yes?"
"Always remember what this suit represents . When you are wearing it, remember that it is the country and its people that you are serving, not yourself . "
"Thanks, Mr . Xiao . I will always keep it in mind," said Jiang Wanting sternly .
Xiao Bing grinned . "No need to thank me . I prefer being called Brother Bing . Not only do I like the blood-boiling and manly feeling of it, but it also reminds me that I used to be a soldier . "
"So you were a soldier . " Jiang w.a.n.gting was impressed . Maybe it was because soldiers and police shared the same roots . Moreover, the police whose primary task was to protect citizens usually have great respect for soldiers who protect the country and its people . "Which army did you serve?"
Xiao Bing did not answer her and said casually, "We should go . "
Jiang Wanting stopped asking when she realized that Xiao Bing didn"t want to answer her . Suddenly, she recalled that some armies in this country would require their soldiers to sign a confidentiality agreement . The soldiers were not allowed to reveal army secrets even after retirement . She thought it would be easier to learn these secrets using the internal system of the police . She decided to make a detailed investigation after she returns because it was normal for a policewoman to learn a suspect"s true ident.i.ty .
Xiao Bing stopped saying anything after agreeing to go with them . He headed for the door after biding the staff goodbye . Suddenly, Li Hong followed them and shouted at Jiang Wanting . "You police arrested him for no reason before . I don"t want that to happen again . "
"The police are servants of the people . We will never do anything that brings us dishonor . It"s just a matter of routine and all we need is his statement . We won"t arrest him without sufficient evidence . "
Li Hong nodded .
Jiang w.a.n.gting became interested in this man because the sense of justice that he gave while speaking was rare even on other policemen . She had been working as a policewoman for three years but she had only found this feeling in an old policeman who was about to retire . There was a beam of holy light on that face of righteousness when he said, "Always remember what this suit stand for . When you are wearing it, remember that it is the country and its people that you are serving, not yourself . "
"What kind of a man would say something like that?" She believed that even if Xiao Bing were a bad guy, he would not be that wicked . So her att.i.tude toward him became much better .
Xiao Bing got in the police car with Jiang Wanting sitting next to him . It was not until then he realized how slender she was . Her long and slim legs were pressed against his . After everyone got in the car, she said, "Let"s go . "
"Okay, captain . "
Jiang Wanting restored her aloofness and was silent on the way to the police station . Each time the car shook, their legs would accidentally be pressed together . Xiao Bing did not pay it much attention at first, but after several times, he could not take his eyes off her beautiful, long, and lean legs . Subconsciously, Xiao Bing began going along with the shaking of the car .
"Turns out that this kind of physical contact is more exciting than s.e.x," Xiao Bing thought .
Unfortunately, good things didn"t last and they soon arrived at the police station . Jiang Wanting got off the car after the other three policemen . She looked at Xiao Bing . "Mr . Xiao, we have arrived . Please get off . "
Evidently, she had become much more polite to Xiao Bing . On the one hand, she was impressed by his words . On the other hand, except for the trespa.s.sing, there was no evidence indicating that he was responsible for the murders . And he was already proved innocent for one of them .
She took him to the interrogation room after entering the police station . While a young policeman took dictation, she asked, "Tell us your name and age . "
"Xiao Bing, 26 . "
"What is your occupation?"
"The owner of the Xiaoxiao Noodle House . "
"Where were you when Zhang Gui was killed in that alley?"
Xiao Bing"s eyes gleamed with sorrow as he thought of the scarlet rose and blood . "I was walking down a nearby street . He was already dead when I got there . " Xiao Bing sighed .
"Did you see the murderer clearly?"
Xiao Bing shook his head .
"According to the CCTV footage of that street, you didn"t lie . But a woman called Yingzi died in her house . Do you know anything about it?"
"She committed suicide out of love for Zhang Gui . "
"And Mrs . Zhu died in her apartment yesterday . According to CCTV footage, you went to her house yesterday . She fell from the second floor when you were leaving . But she was clearly killed by poison . Why is that?"
Xiao Bing contemplated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth . "She wanted to kill me . "
Jiang Wanting instantly restored her acuteness and vigilance as a policewoman . She looked into his eyes and asked, "Who wanted to kill you?"
"Zhu Liya . "
"Why did she want to kill you?"
"Because Zhu Liya is a part of her plan . Zhu Liya is an a.s.sa.s.sin that she trained . " Xiao Bing sighed .
Jiang Wanting immediately asked, "Who are you referring to?"
"I don"t know her real name, only that she"s the North Heaven Queen of the north section of Jiang City . Some people call her the North Heaven Queen, some call her the Peony Fairy . " Xiao Bing grinned . "If you"re interested, why don"t you arrest her as well and let me confront her?"
Xiao Bing stared at the outfoxed policewoman .
She avoided his eyes . "I will arrest her if she"s really involved . Why did she send people to kill you? Do you have any conflict of interest with her?"
"Xielun, a man that I have offended in the past, hired her . Do you understand now? They killed Zhang Gui that day and I happened to witness it . Zhu Liya tried to kill me but I saw through her act and she killed herself after failing . Captain Jiang, I also have a question for you . "
"What is it?"
Xiao Bing fixed a burning gaze at her . "You have sworn to be worthy of the suit and yet you dare not arrest the Peony Fairy . Is it because of a lack of evidence or cowardice? Captain Jiang!"
Right then, Xiao Bing commanded a force like no other .
