Chapter 11 Stars On The Sky(11)

It was too serious that the truck hit the luxury car maliciously on the viaduct and the driver got off the truck and tried to kill people. Gao Yusheng asked Zhai Chen to give unified testimony to the police, saying he did not know why he was hit or why the man wanted to kill them.

“If you say so, the police would think that they killed people temporarily because they were afraid of being responsible. But that’s obviously a killer!” Zhai Chen didn’t understand why Gao Yusheng has to deal with this. Since someone wanted to kill him, it was reasonable to report to the police earlier.

Gao Yusheng covered his arm and frowned slightly. After the pain slighted, he sat down beside Zhai Chen, “I really don’t know who is going to kill me. But I didn’t lie. It’s very troublesome to explain too much.”

Zhai Chen took back his gaze at the stars and turns to Gao Yusheng, “Are you trying to help me hide my powers?”

“It’s no use catching a mad dog. There must be another one after this,” Gao Yusheng didn’t answer Zhai Chen’s question. He slowly pulled up his sleeve, pulled off his tie and wrapped it around his bleeding arm, “only when we find out the man who released the dog can we have a once and for all life. I’ll catch this man myself.”

The handsome president looked a little embarrassed at the moment. His shirt, which usually had no wrinkles, was stained with dust and blood, his hair was messy, his face was scratched, but his eyes were still calm. This was not the response of the spoiled rich second generation young master!

Zhai Chen thought it’s not right, but his half blind eyes didn’t allow him to see each other’s expression, and he suspected that he was wrong.

It was early in the morning after the accident was handled and the written record was finished. Zhai Chen didn’t have supper. He’s so hungry that he had his chest pasted on his back. At that time, the restaurants were closed. Only the night market stalls were booming. The hungry people didn’t care about too much. They rushed to the stalls surrounded by fireworks.

Cheap plastic tables and chairs are greasy with smoke and dust, surrounded by barebacked, slipper wearing rough men. They two were so dirty that they didn’t appear abrupt in this environment at all.

“Boss, please give four jin of crawfish, two bottles of beer, fifty kebabs…” Zhai Chen shouted out the name of the dish to the boss. He turned around and asked Gao what else he’d like. Then he remember that Gao was hurt, “er, another bowl of noodles with tomato sauce.”

Gao Yusheng’s left arm had been cut a big hole. He had just been bandaged in the hospital. It had been wrapped a bandage around it. It looked a little pitiful. It’s amazing that his million dollar Star Watch didn’t break. It’s good to hang it on his wrist.

Zhai Chen pushed the noodles in front of him, “you have a wound on your arm. Don’t eat mutton. Have some noodles.”

“You take good care of people,” Gao Yusheng took over the disposable chopsticks, bowed his head and took a bite of noodles. He drank the sour, sour and sweet soup noodles, which warmed his body slightly cold due to blood loss.

“It’s just rofessional habits,” Zhai Chen picked up a crayfish, quickly peeled it, dipped it in some soup and put it in Gao Yusheng’s bowl, “take care of the children.”

Gao Yusheng, “…”

“Hahahaha…” Zhai Chen thought Gao was particularly funny. When he teased Gao, he got responds. It’s much more interesting than Chen and Ma who are stupefied in the criminal police.

Refusing the care of the kindergarten uncle Zhai, Gao Yusheng started to peel shrimps himself, with the same level of proficiency as Zhai Chen. He didn’t peel and eat one by one, but he took a plate and peeled enough to eat together.

“You even eat this, I thought you rich young master only eat Australian lobster,” Zhai Chen reached out a hand and stole one from the dish.

“I like it very much,” Gao said, as if he didn’t see someone stealing shrimp. He continued to peel it conscientiously, “when I was a child, I didn’t have any meat to eat at home. My brother took me to the riverside to fish for shrimps. He caught a basket of them and went back to fry them.”

Zhai Chen listened carefully and stole another one. The man who peeled the crayfish suddenly looked up. Zhai Chen was so scared that he threw the crayfish into his mouth and pretended nothing happened.

“The crayfish in the river is much better than those sold in the city. The hot pepper in the mountains is very delicious, and the fragrance can be smelled by the whole village. I was squatting on the stove. I was still going to eat it even it was so spicy,” Mr. Gao’s voice was very pleasant, he might be tired and had a bit of hoarseness. It was steady. It’s easy to bring people into that picture.

Zhai Chen was stunned for a moment. In a trance, he saw the little guy who always wanted to eat shrimp. His heart was slightly quivering. He took a sip of ice beer and drank, “I thought you were spoiled and bred.”

“No one pampers me.”

Apart from brother.

Gao Yusheng peeled the third one and found that the plate was empty. He put down the shrimp and pulled the plate towards himself closer.

Zhai Chen heard something unusual from this words, but they were obviously not familiar with the family affairs, so Zhai Chen could not ask more, “Yes, boys should be poor, my father never pampers me, and I was beaten when I was naughty. But the more he beat me, the more mischievous I became. After all, in order to guard me, he asked me to do my homework at the door of the waiting room that I squatted in that room tonight and put a small table outside. A group of traitors stared at my homework.”

Gao Yusheng was amused by him, “Could you go down?”

“Of course, I couldn’t do it down. Those big brothers were so funny. They told me their Jianghu rules and how to behave. Tut Tut, they benefited a lot!” speaking of this, Zhai Chen was quite proud.

When he was in middle school, he was good-looking and thin. Bad young people liked to bully Zhai Chen. Those hooligans often surrounded him in the alley. So Zhai Chen was forced to teach all the hooligans around him a lesson and became the leader of the hooligans in that area. In Zhai Chen’s words, “I didn’t intend to be involved in Jianghu affairs, but I can’t help myself.”

The son of the captain of the criminal police had become the bandit leader. That was really going too far! Zhai Jianguo was too busy to take care of him every day, so he took Zhai Chen to the criminal police station, hoping that Chen would be influenced by the Public Security Bureau’s atmosphere of serving the people and became a good young man.

“…Your father should regret putting you there to do his homework.”

“I don’t know. Comrade Zhai would not admit it even if he regrets it.”

The next morning, Zhai Chen went home at more than seven o’clock. As soon as he got downstairs, he met Fang chuyang, who was holding Mengmeng and walking out with poker face. Seeing that he didn’t make any sarcasm, he shoved the child on Zhai Chen and left.

“What’s the matter? Do you have to work overtime on weekends?” Zhai Chen was not scolded by his brother to show his disappointment, so he said something to keep him.

“You always go out and have fun, but I have several cases to deal with!” Fang chuyang glared at him angrily and lowered his voice to warn him, “you are not allowed to participate in Li Ting’s case, do you hear me?”

“Enthusiastic citizens do justice and bravery… Fine, I won’t get in,” Zhai Chen raised a hand to surrender, took Meng Meng’s hand and waved to Fang chuyang, ” Say goodbye to your Uncle Chuyang.”

“Goodbye, uncle.” the little nephew waved obediently.

Fang chuyang pointed at him, but before he scolded Chen, the guy ran away with the baby in his arms.

The uncle and nephew had breakfast and played video games on the cushion in the living room. Mi Qing, a female colleague from the kindergarten, suddenly came.

“Yesterday Mengmeng left in a hurry and dropped his bag.” Miss Mi shook the tom cat schoolbag in her hand.

“Ah, that’s too much trouble. Come in and have a cup of tea,” Zhai Chen asks Mi Qing to come in and took her a cup of hot water.

This was Mi Qing’s first visit to Zhai Chen’s house. She was a little restrained and didn’t dare to look around. She stared at Zhai Chen and said, “Mr. Zhai, have you made a fortune recently, and even wear a T-shirt of 2000 yuan?”

Uh huh? Was this short sleeve worth 2000 yuan? Zhai Chen looked down at the T-shirt with only a small logo printed on it in pure black, “No, I borrowed it from my friend’s house last night.”

Zhai Chen could have a chat with anyone, even if he knew that his female colleague’s intention to send an unimportant schoolbag over the weekend was not clear, but he could also talk with her very happily.

“Xiao Pang’s grandma just spoiled him. She made him eat fried chicken every day, and her face was fat and deformed,” the common topic of them was the children in the kindergarten. Mr. Mi was not restrained when talking about this, just like they usually talked about work.

Just talking, Zhai Chen’s cell phone rang. It’s from the criminal police station. It meant him going to the police station immediately.

“Just take your time, I take care of Mnegmeng for you,” said Miss Mi, realizing that she was a bit abrupt and blushed, “do you mind if I stay at your home?”

“It’s very kind of you to help. Why do I mind? It’s a bit messy at home. You can’t let it go,” Zhai Chen didn’t care about that. There was nothing valuable in this house. He picked up his bag and went out. Aunt Zhu’s door was wide open, and the old lady who couldn’t help opening the door for ventilation. Zhai Chen told Aunt Zhu to go out and have a female colleague look after the children for him at home.

The old lady were very transparent about this. Aunt Zhu immediately understood, “Don’t worry, I’m making lotus leaf tea, and I’ll send a cup of tea to Mengmeng later.”

Zhai Chen took a few cups of cold drinks to the criminal police and handed them to Xiao Chen for him to send to everyone. However, this time, the members of the criminal squa did not greet him warmly. They were all calm, only the honest Chen smiled at him.

“Yo, what’s the matter?” Zhai Chen threw the bag on Fang chuyang’s table and looked at them curiously.

“Look at you’ve done!” Fang chuyang squeezed a word out of his teeth and take Zhai Chen directly into the interrogation room.

Sitting on the bench in the interrogation room, Zhai Chen was surprised. Fang chuyang was to avoid suspicion, listened outside. Zhai Chen was interrogated by Captain Fan and another police. Although captain Fan and Zhai Jianguo were of the same generation, in fact, he was only in his early forties. Stay up all year long and worry about too much. His hair had turned white.

“Don’t be nervous, just ask you a few questions,” Fan said with a smile, as if he was not a suspect sitting in the interrogation room, or a witness.

Zhai Chen was not nervous. He leaned back in his chair and relaxed, “Go ahead, I’ll tell the truth.”

“On the night of July 8th, where were you?”

“At home,” july 8 was the Sunday when Li Ting died. The police had asked him this question a long time ago. Why was it mentioned again today?

“The doorman of the community responded that you went out during the day and didn’t come back at night.”

“I came back a little late, so I went in through the wall,” Zhai Chen replied. The old family’s courtyard had access control. After 10 p.m., it’s locked. In order not to disturb the guard, he went in through the wall, “at this point, the Boss Shui of the night market stall and the salesperson of the 24-hour convenience store can prove that I greeted them when I came back and also bought two cans of beer in the convenience store. It should be around 10:30.”

Captain Fan didn’t say anything, then asked a unrelated question, “How did the truck driver’s arm break last night?”

“!”

It seemed that the attack happened last night had been reported to the municipal criminal police squad. According to the scene traces, the traffic police judged that this was not a common traffic accident case, and promoted a very illogical scene. Such a scene, let the police had doubts about his and Gao Yusheng’s personal ability.

And the murderer who killed Li Ting was the one who made Li Ting had no room to resist and no trace of fighting.
