Chapter 7 Stars On The Sky(7)
Gao Yusheng realized that he was holding the hand that was not very thick but extremely warm. He clenched it subconsciously before releasing it, “Sorry.”
Zhai Chen did not care. He followed him to the office, pulled the reception chair in front of Gao Yusheng’s office desk and sat down, “Did you call me here to see the funeral procession?”
“No,” Gao Yusheng served Zhai Chen a glass of water, “they hadn’t come when I called you. I want to talk with you.”
“With me?” Zhai Chen took the cup. The crystal clear glass was filled with clear water and a faint breath mint fragrance. It should be soaked with dried mint leaves in the kettle. High-end people generally like to drink expensive coffee or colorful foreign wine, but Mr. Gao prefers to drink cheap mint water, which did not look like a domineering president.
“About your… superpowers,” Gao Yusheng considered the wording and gave a designation for Zhai Chen’s unusual strength, “you have always exposed your special ability to people like this, it is very dangerous. To be a bodyguard for different people, there will always be someone who can realize it like me.”
“Are you threatening me, Mr. Gao?” Zhai Chen picked up a steel rule on the table and played with it. He tapped on the crystal glass cup like taped Gao Yusheng who was as beautiful and expensive as that cup, “I don’t know what you said about superpowers.”
“I don’t mean to offend, but I just give you sincere advice. It is safest to find a fixed and willing to keep a secret employer,” Gao Yusheng put his hands and fingers on the table, making a harmless and strong gesture, “of course, it is also for my own sake. I have encountered the same trouble as Li Ting.”
“Aha?” Zhai Chen stopped playing with the steel rule, “Are you also followed by your ex-boyfriend?”
“…”
“Ah no, ex-girlfriend, is she in the downstairs of your company? It seems to be a little dangerous, she swore you to not die in nature.” Zhai Chen tutted and sighed, as if Gao Yusheng has already been killed.
“There are many people who curse me to death, I will not be afraid of a crazy woman who has no attack power,” Gao Yusheng felt Zhai Chen’s unfriendliness, he tried to suppress his anger and took out a transparent envelope from the drawer, which contained a colorful piece of paper, “I received this.”
On the front of a list was a poorly printed take-out list and on the back was a strange pattern. The pattern was concentric circles, marked with 12 constellations, with a round eye in the middle. Zhai Chen saw the piece of paper and a cold sweat broke out in his back.
“Take-out list!” Zhai Chen picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was the same as the small advertisement list that Li Ting went downstairs at the door of her home that day.
This list was mixed up in the express delivery and was delivered to the CEO’s office this morning. It stated that Gao Yusheng was required to open it personally. Li Ting sent a moment in Wechat that day, complaining that the take-out list was ugly, so Gao Yusheng was a little impressed.
“Be my temporary bodyguard. If you don’t want to work for 9 hours, you can drive me to and off work as you did for Li Ting…”
“OK,” before Gao Yusheng finished, Zhai Chen promised to take the job without hesitation. Zhai Chen quickly took a photo and sent it to Fang Chuyang, telling him that Li Ting had also received such a piece of paper. Fang Chuyang on the other side might be busy and did not reply immediately.
“Do you know what this is?” Gao Yusheng looked at Zhai Chen, who bowed his head and studied the paper, and slowly traced his eyebrow and eyes, trying to find the similarities with one person in memory. However, it was a long time ago, he actually couldn’t remember the person clearly, stared at Zhai Chen for a long time, only got a conclusion that Zhai Chen looked pretty good.
Finding a clue, Zhai Chen’s mood eased a lot. He put down the phone and looked up with a smile, “Have you seen the ‘Condor Heroes’ before?”
“Yes,” which was a famous martial arts novel, made several editions of TV series. Gao Yusheng liked watching it when he was a child.
“The devil, Li Mochou, who has a habit of leaving blood fingerprints before killing someone. Leaving a few fingerprints means killing a few people,” Zhai Chen started to talk nonsense as soon as he was in a good mood, and pulled out his usual trick of deceiving children, teased Gao Yusheng who has a serious expression.
However, Gao Yusheng did not let him leave as Fang Chuyang did. Instead, he thought about it for a moment, “Very likely.”
“…” Gao Yusheng believed the words, it seemed he was kind of foolish. Zhai Chen looked at him with a strange facial expression.
However, facts have proved that Gao was not stupid, especially when he talked about money. Since Zhai Chen was agreed to work as a temporary bodyguard for Gao Yusheng, the salary must be negotiated first. Gao Yusheng took out the price list of a regular bodyguard company, which was the most expensive to rent in a single day, with Class A bodyguards costing 8,000 yuan and Class B bodyguards costing 6,000 yuan. The monthly salary and the annual salary were much cheaper, with a monthly salary of 30,000 to 40,000 and an annual salary of 600,000 to 800,000. There was no rule to speak of.
This was basically the average price in the bodyguard industry. Zhai Chen also nodded to approve.
“Because you are not a regular bodyguard, usually the price is 4,000 a day, then the monthly salary should be about 20,000. And now you only work during going to and off work every day, so at most 10,000, I will give you 15,000 a month,” Gao Yusheng assumed the public face of a businessman as if he was not the one who was going to pay for 50,000 yuan.
“Didn’t you pay for 50,000 before?” Zhai Chen tried to stir up trouble.
“That’s a 9-hour job, aren’t you still taking care of the children? If you will, you can put the children in the nursery class on the 17th floor of our building and the expense will be born by our company.”
Gao Yusheng even took Zhai Mengmeng into account. Everything was clearly arranged, which was just to get Mr. Bodyguard’s approval. Zhai Chen agreed. But when he put half his foot in, he suddenly felt wrong. The president paid a lot to hire a bodyguard. He was invited to dinner, and his family situation was investigated… At present, an invisible net seemed to be opened, filled with all kinds of things he needed urgently. Senior childcare classes, money, risk-averse work, and clues to Li Ting’s death were waiting for him, all were waiting for him to crash into it.
“Not for the time being, I’d like to work at a kindergarten,” Zhai Chen reluctantly rejected the delicious food with poison.
At this time, Gao Yusheng’s secretary came in to inform the police had come.
The police handcuffed the three noisy men and pointed to the middle-aged man with his neck sticking out and howling, “It’s you again?”
“Sir, do you know him?” Zhai Chen grabbed the reporter who was trying to run away and took a slow breath of oxygen. At first, the reporter was able to struggle, but then it was as if he was struck by an iron buckle, and the reporter’s forearm could not move. Moving left and right with arms motionless, the reporter was as if doing an unscheduled mechanical dance.
“Of course, they are professional troublemakers, and they were arrested at the gate of the People’s Hospital last month. They are specially hired for the demolition and extortion… To be honest, what niece of yours, the person in this portrait have fine features. Is she like you with mung-bean eyes?”
Demolition… Zhai Chen frowned, ground his molar teeth and turned to Gao Yusheng, “Which hospital is bastard Wang Jinghang’s in?”
Gao Yusheng, “…”
When the police left, the reporter who was still being held said, “Let me go!”
“Oh, I forget you,” Zhai Chen turned and looked at the reporter, took his mobile phone and handed it to the secretary to delete the relevant video, and took out his mobile phone to take a video, “Come on, smile. Tell me, who hired you?”
The reporter seemed like a duck that spared blood. His face turned pale and he insisted on saying nothing.
The city bureau’s criminal police, Fang Chuyang, was still reading the transcript repeatedly.
Wang Qiang, a 46-year-old male, died in the Nancheng case. His wife said that Wang Qiang went out to have a drink with friends that day. He was not to back to the home that night, so she slept with her child. The next day, Wang Qiang was still not back and his phone couldn’t be dialed. Only then did she call the police. However, Wang Qiang’s parents insisted that Wang Qiang’s wife killed him.
[Wang’s wife (Zhou Yufen): The family owes a large of a loan. Wang Qiang has been in a bad mood recently and often goes out to have a drink. I didn’t realize something was wrong. I never thought that he would commit suicide like this. What can I do?]
[Wang’s Father: Arrears are the money he borrowed from others in the business. This batch of goods can be sold to repay the money. There is no such thing as debt evasion and suicide.]
[Wang’s Mother: Zhou Yufen must have done it. She said that my son cheated, fought in several times. She also said that she would jump into the river with her two children.]
Wang Qiang also showed no signs of fighting. Either he jumped himself, or the killer made a move to subdue him.
“This is possible if a person who knows him suddenly pushed him down. But Li Ting couldn’t be pushed. Someone had to throw her down without touching unless the killer was a strong man who could lift her head with the snatch in weightlifting and threw her down the stairs.” another officer who had been at the scene of the investigation made a gesture about the height of the window sill.
Hercules.
Fang Chuyang’s suddenly was astonished. As far as he knew, the only person who could do it was Zhai Chen, who had inhaled oxygen. On that day, he worked overtime all night, was not at home, and could not give Zhai Chen an alibi. He had to call the bastard brother to let him hide his super ability recently. He picked up his cell phone and saw the message from Zhai Chen and immediately forwarded it to his colleagues.
“Is this something in Li Ting’s belongings?” Fang Chuyang pointed to the strange concentric circle eyes on the screen.
Chen Zhaohui looked down at once and said, “no”
“Xiao Zhang, check the origin of this design, and Chen Xiaohei, followed me,” Fang Chuyang stood up and took Chen Zhaohui with him to search Li Ting’s car again. According to Zhai Chen’s words, he forgot where he threw the list away at that time. He didn’t know where it was, but it might still be in the car.
The two men were rummaging through the car like oven under the big sun, and their clothes were soaked in less than a minute.
“Deputy captain, you’d better stand in the shade. I’ll search for it,” Chen Zhaohui pushed Fang Chuyang and climbed into the car to search carefully.
Fang Chuyang opened the cab and started the air conditioner in the car. The cold wind blew out and the stifling heat was immediately relieved.
“Hey hey, you are so intelligent,” Chen Zhaohui wiped his sweat and said beautiful words to Fang Chuyang. Before Fang could scold him, he suddenly shouted, “I found it!”
In the gap between the seat and the car door, there was a takeout list that had not been thrown away, just like what Gao received. The swarthy comrade Chen carefully sealed the evidence in a transparent plastic bag and blew it at the air conditioner outlet for a while, flashing his dizzy head, “deputy captain, do you think it was Li Ting who gave the poor evaluation of takeout and the delivery man retaliated against her?”
“The Punctuation Map boss also gave a bad review? Could he order this shredded pork with fish flavor costing five yuan? All you have in your mind is gutter oil!” Fang Chuyang slapped Chen on the back of his head.
“Last time you said it was coal,” Chen Xiaohei touched the back of his head and said frankly.
“Roll on!” Fang Chuyang pushed aside the coal head and picked up the phone.
“Lieutenant, the Eastern District Police Station caught three people pretending to be relatives in Li Ting making trouble at the gate of the Punctuation Map.”
Professional troublemakers…
Fang Chuyang turned serious. The professional troublemakers were most familiar with the ruffian scoundrels in the demolition village. Wang Jinghang was exactly a famous scoundrel in Cai Zhuang, “Send someone on a mission to keep an eye on Wang Jinghang and check his cell phone again. In addition, call Wang Qiang’s wife and I have something to ask her. “
