“It’s not exactly giving out, we’ve got a joint case. We have a joint case. Old Yang is holding the case, and we are keeping the files. This case has been dragging on, and I’m embarrassed to say so. But it’s not that Old Zhou deliberately made it bad, Old Zhou did it, mainly for me, that fingerprint, Zhang Chao you know.”
Zhao Zichen said, “According to you, the matter mainly lies with this Yang Bureau?”
When we were at the police station yesterday, Old Wu had also taken over the Fengqi detachment’s case temporarily under the name of Bureau Yang.
Zhao Zichen then said, “Is it possible that Bureau Yang is the ghost?”
When Zhao Zichen asked this, we all went dumb; it was extremely likely.
“No matter what, I want to see Baldy, can you think of a way for me?” Liu Hao said.
“I’ll go to Bureau Zhou and think of something.” Liu Hao said.
I muttered in my mind, what happened to Zhao Zichen, he must have seen something in the video and wanted to see Baldy.
“Zhang Chao, open the door for me!”
The three of us were in silence when a woman’s scream came from downstairs.
“Who is it?” Xia Gehuai asked.
As soon as I heard the voice, all my sweat hairs stood up… Oh, come on, the debt collecting ghosts are here.
“You still can’t recognise this voice, huh? It seems you still lack a poisonous beating.” I laughed bitterly as I stood up and walked downstairs on my crutches.
Downstairs, Yiyi Wu was standing in front of a brand new SUV with her hands on her hips, waiting for me angrily.
Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai saw her from afar and let out a long sigh.
Zhao Zichen said, “There is absolutely nothing good about this living Bodhisattva coming to my door.”
“Why don’t you open the door for me!”
Wu Yi Yi pouted and hovered impatiently, like a lioness patrolling her territory, as she grabbed the iron door and shook it, urging me to open it quickly.
Liu Hao gave a tsk and said, “Aww, how did you guys mess with this Buddha?”
“Who the hell is she?”
“Thou shalt not speak, Amitabha Buddha, open the door.” Liu Hao shrunk his head and stepped back.
He wanted to slip away, but Wu Yi Yi had already seen him and shouted through the doorway, “Liu Hao, you’re there too.”
Liu Hao rubbed his face with a look of remorse and regret.
“Hurry up and let her in, but fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, she’s here, so Zhao Zichen will be able to see Xu Changsheng.”
I was so helpless that I had to open the door for Wu Yi Yi, I didn’t want her screaming and cursing at the door of my house during the New Year.
“Good New Year.”
I opened the door and didn’t let her in right away, she tried to squeeze hard but how could she push me away?
“You let me in.” Yiyi Wu pointed at my nose in disgust, “I’ll tell your girlfriend.”
I laughed and cried, “You’ve come empty-handed to pay your respects on New Year’s Day, haven’t you?”
“I, this ……”
Wu Yi Yi was at a disadvantage and her mouth was not so stubborn, she stammered for a while, “I, I forgot today, I have something serious to discuss with you, please let me in.”
“It’s okay, but say something nice to hear.”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself! I’m warning you!”
“Fine then, I’ll tell Moon Man Bow what’s wrong with your Thousand Clans, do you teach art but not virtue, coming to your door empty-handed on the first day of the year, the Thousand Clans have lost face to some people.”
“No, no, no, I’m wrong, brother Zhang Chao, please, don’t tell my senior brother.”
I thought she was going to talk tough for a while longer, but to my surprise, as soon as she mentioned the Moon Full Bow, she immediately filled her face with flattery and begged me with a smile.
She was already pretty, and I usually ignored her face when she was fierce, but now that she was pouting, my heart thumped and my ears turned red.
I didn’t want her to find out and was busy letting her in.
“All here, great, I was just looking for you guys for something.”
Wu Yi Yi was not at all out of sight, she followed me as if I were in her own home, she couldn’t wait to walk inside, she stood in the courtyard with her hands on her chest and started to take responsibility.
“Zhang Chao, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t I tell you to investigate Yu Shen’s case? Why are you back again?”
I spread my hands and said, “I can’t be blamed for that, the case was taken over by the Jianlin branch, we have no way to investigate it even if we wanted to.”
“How did that happen?”
Liu Hao explained, “Yu Shen is a member of our detachment and the relevant people from our detachment have to recuse themselves. Zhang Chao is a consultant hired by our detachment, and since we’ve all recused ourselves, he certainly doesn’t have the right to investigate.”
“Aiya, what should I do then, I’ve promised to help senior brother investigate the case, so I can’t give him a New Year’s gift. Zhang Chao, it’s all your fault, you bad egg.”
She twisted my arm and started spilling her guts, regardless of the situation.
I was really convinced how a woman could switch between being spiteful and being petulant so easily, even though I thought she was quite gentle for a moment.
“Don’t twist, don’t twist, there’s still something to be gained from the investigation.” I said.
“Really?”
Her eyes lit up as if a wolf had seen meat.
“It’s fine to tell you, but you have to do us a favour.” Liu Hao took the opportunity to say.
Wu Yi Yi didn’t give him any face at all: “Have you got a say in this?”
“You ……” Liu Hao’s expletive was half said and swallowed again, he put his hands together and worshipped, “Count me wrong, you ask Zhang Chao.”
“Yes, Liu Hao is right, if you want me to tell you, you have to promise me one thing first.” I said.
“Did you hear that.” Liu Hao said smugly.
Yiyi Wu ignored Liu Hao and asked me what it was about.
I glanced at Zhao Zichen and then said, “I’m going to have a look at Xu Changsheng.”
“Who’s that? What’s with the long life and longevity, the name is so corny, I don’t recognize it.”
“He’s in custody now because he’s suspected of murder. I need to see him, but the man is now in the hands of Chief Yang.” Zhao Zichen said.
I had thought that Wu Yi Yi was fond of disliking Liu Hao, but now I found out that it wasn’t, she was like a mad lion, disliking anyone she came across, she said to Zhao Zichen, “Did you get asked? Zhang Chao you say.”
I cried and laughed, how to give me so much face.
“Can you stop it, what they say is what I have to say.”
Wu Yi Yi cupped her chin and said, “I’m not happy to take them on, stinky men dirty my eyes. You are also a stinky man, but for the sake of my senior brother Yue and you being brothers, I am only giving you a little face. Uncle Yang, ah, okay I know, can you tell me the clues you know now?”
“We need to see someone first.” Zhao Zichen was so angry that his head looked like it was spewing smoke, so I had to say it for him.
“Alright then, you guys get ready and go now.”
Xia Gehuai said, “Don’t be ridiculous, you have to make a few phone calls and look for connections first for this kind of thing, otherwise a big director could give you face as a little girl?”
Xia Gehuai was in trouble with the thunder, Wu Yi Yi rolled her eyes, “Cut, like you, of course people won’t give you face, you just call around the world, people won’t give you a little face. I’m not like you. Don’t speculate on the strength of this lady. Go, go now, now you can meet, but I’ll say it in advance with you, you better have given me a write useful clues, or else, hum, you watch out.”
A few of us big men, we were all so angry with her that we were about to vomit blood, but we couldn’t do a bit about her, so we could only console ourselves and not bother with the little girl.
We got into Wu Yi Yi’s SUV, and she took us straight to Director Yang’s office.
Suddenly, Zhao Zichen winked at me quietly, and when I asked him what was wrong, Zhao Zichen smiled wickedly and said, “Don’t tear me down, I’ll play with this girl later.”
I didn’t know what Zhao Zichen was up to, but I silently mourned for Wu Yi Yi in my heart.
