Ch112 - Homicide Flower Shop (9) ― Running Around

Zong Nan’s Adam’s apple rolled involuntarily, and when he spoke his words, he has this raspy flavor after smoking and drinking: “And pliers.”

He turned his head to fiddle with the door lock, with only one hand still stretched out at the small window. Tao Su’an ran and brought him pliers, with a light floral scent that lunged savagely through the screened mesh of ferocious beasts.

Kang Qicheng’s methods were very low-level. He didn’t know how to open the lock, so he used nail clippers to break the lock randomly so that the people inside couldn’t get out. Kang Qicheng usually saves this trick for last. If someone kindly saves his two sons, he will come to the door, curse and demand money. If they didn’t give him money, he would threaten to break the door lock. Repairing the door would cost a lot of money, right? Most people would be frightened when they saw him picking the lock, and would give him their money directly.

Tao Su’an’s door keyhole was broken and could not be repaired, so Zong Nan directly removed the door lock to open the door.

Tao Su’an handed him a piece of tissue to wipe his hands, and held a glass full of water in his hand.

Zong Nan came running quickly, with sweat still trickling down his neck from his strenuous run. He took the cup and said, “Thank you.”

After drinking it all, he felt that the water in Tao Su’an’s house seemed sweeter than outside.

Tao Su’an said softly: “Thank you, brother. Do you want to come in and take a rest?”

Zong Nan restrainedly glanced inside his house, “No, remember to find a locksmith and replace the lock with a new one.”

Tao Su’an nodded obediently, and Zong Nan’s eyes were focused on him again, his face changed, and he said solemnly: “Why don’t you wear shoes?”

Tao Su’an looked at him blankly.

Zong Nan took his hand and asked him to step on the carpet. He bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him and placed them at Tao Su’an’s feet. He ordered in a cold voice: “Put them on.”

His movements were smooth and free, showing how familiar he was with Tao Su’an’s house. Tao Su’an lowered his head and stepped on the slippers obediently. Then he said belatedly: “I was so anxious that I forgot to put on my shoes.”

Zong Nan stared at his expression closely and said calmly: “Lie.”

Tao Su’an raised his head to look at him, his hair bounced playfully on his neck twice, and he said slowly: “Brother, I don’t like wearing shoes.”

Zong Nan’s pity for him rose again, and his voice unconsciously became softer. If his colleagues heard this, they would definitely exclaim to how much he had changed, “Why don’t you like wearing it?”

“It’s very uncomfortable,” Tao Su’an said in a lower voice, “You don’t need to wear shoes when swimming.”

Still having the temper of a child, Zong Nan felt like he wanted to hug him. He tried hard to suppress this thought, and suddenly took a step back and said coldly: “Go back first, I’ll close the door.”

A bright light suddenly flashed from the corner of Zong Nan’s eyes. He immediately pulled Su An and looked aside. The bright spot on the glass window flashed past, it was a telescope.

Zong Nan instantly turned back to look at the apartment opposite. His experienced brain analyzed the angle and floor where the light came from. He quickly closed Tao Su’an’s door and strode towards the building opposite.

Going downstairs and then up again, Zong Nan moved very quickly and appeared in the opposite corridor a minute later. He pushed down the brim of his hat and kicked open the door, holding the gun at his waist.

There was no one in the room. Zong Nan’s face was ashen. The layout of this room was exactly the same as Tao Suan’s room. If he said it had nothing to do with the murderer, he wouldn’t believe it even to death. He pulled out the intercom and said: “Go upstairs, there is a situation in unit 404, unit 2, 8th floor.”

Kicking open the bedroom door, Zong Nan was silent for two seconds, and his words suddenly became suppressed, “Bring more people with you, there are a lot of candid photos here.”

The entire bedroom was filled with secret photos of Tao Su’an in the bedroom. Zong Nan also saw a photo of the boy changing clothes.

“…I understand,” Old Liu said, “Lead, we will be there in a minute.”

Zong Nan cut off the conversation and looked at the photos for a while, clenching and unclenching his palms. Some kind of embarrassing thought stuck in his throat. After thirty seconds, he quickly stepped forward and took off a few photos that were too naked. He quickly looked at other rooms and collected all the excessive photos and hid them on his body.

After doing all this, colleagues rushed up. Zong Nan directed their work with a calm face, walked quickly to the living room, pointed to a set up telescope and said: “Send it to check the fingerprints on it.”

“Yes.” The police officer carefully put away the binoculars, “Captain Zong, some medicinal powder was detected in the bathroom.”

Zong Nan strode over, where Old Liu was watching people collecting powder. Seeing his clouded expression, he worriedly asked: “What’s wrong? Is there bad news?”

“No,” Zong Nan said coldly, “Is it the medicinal powder we found before?”

In the four previous cases, they detected a new poison component that was not on the market in the bodies of the deceased. The deceased who took this drug, whether they died in a car accident or drowned, will have symptoms of bleeding from their seven orifices.

Old Liu: “It’s not certain. I’ll send it to the appraisal department for inspection later.”

The medicinal powder was detected at the mouth of a water pipe, there was only a tiny bit of it. As they turned the apartment over, Zong Nan grew silent. His mood swings were so great that Old Liu looked at him several times, “Leader?”

“It’s okay.” Zong Nan.

A young police officer hurriedly came from outside, holding a stack of documents, “Captain Zong, we have found the owner of this house. Yuan Sen, a senior student of Pharmacy at the Medical University.”

Zong Nan frowned as he took the information. He and Old Liu looked at each other, and Old Liu nodded and said: “The cat we found this morning, the person who let it out is also a pharmacy student at the Medical University, sophomore Zhou Miao. Yu Xiu has taken him back to the police station.”

“It’s the owner of this house and its medicine.” Zong Nan smiled mockingly, “The murderer really thinks we are stupid pigs.”

“It would be great if the owner of the room is really the murderer.” Old Liu murmured. “Although it’s a bit too simple, if we catch the murderer sooner, we will be relieved sooner.”

Zong Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, “Go check this Yuan Sen. Let’s go see Zhou Miao first.”

After going downstairs, Tao Su’an was standing downstairs waiting for them. Zong Nan paused when he saw him, and Tao Su’an glanced at him quickly and whispered: “Can I come?”

Then Old Liu suggested, “Lead, let him come along.”

Zong Nan swallowed back his words of “You stay at home,” and his heroic brows furrowed deeply, “Get in the car.”

The car got on the road. Zong Nan took off his hat, sat on the passenger seat and crossed his arms, looking at Tao Su’an in the rearview mirror. Tao Su’an was extremely quiet in the back seat. He seemed a little sad. The smile on his face disappeared, but he was still so beautiful and spirited.

How could such a person exist?

Zong Nan violated his ideals, hiding from his colleagues, and taking away the photos that had a bad influence on the teenager.

Whenever there was some worry on the young man’s face, it would cause Zong Nan to lift a heart to think about what he was thinking about, and is there anything worthy of making him show such a look?

He even has some dark dissatisfactions and surging greed. Why does he have these sorrows without his permission?

But when he thought of this, Zong Nan suddenly woke up, cold sweat broke out on the top of his head, and he covered his forehead with a complicated expression.

It shouldn’t be.

He shouldn’t think so.

The hard photo in his pants pocket poked Zong Nan’s thigh. Zong Nan remained motionless. The black short sleeves on his back were wet with sweat and stuck to his back. His curved back muscles attracted attention.

Tao Su’an quietly stretched out a white finger and poked his back.

Zong Nan froze.

Tao Su’an said: “Brother, are you very hot?”

Zong Nan seemed to be sealed by this finger, and he said vaguely: “It’s a little hot.”

The chilly finger slowly moved up, and all Zong Nan’s senses were on his back. Unable to bear it, he straightened his back, then he turned around and grabbed the troublesome finger, and cast his sharp eyes criticizing,”What are you doing?”

Tao Su’an shrank, “Brother…”

Zong Nan suddenly held his hand with great force. He took two deep breaths, showing his best relaxed handsome smile and joked: “You can’t touch a man’s back, little student, do you understand?”

Old Liu laughed loudly, “Leader, you are really full of surprises. Little student, don’t think too much, the lead doesn’t like others touching him.”

“Is that so?” Tao Su’an nodded and wanted to withdraw his fingers, but Zong Nan subconsciously held them tighter. The boy with curly brown hair let out a small “ah” in pain and raised his eyes to look at Zong Nan.

Zong Nan let go of his hand as if he was electrocuted.

After arriving at the police station quietly, Zong Nan held the door and let Tao Su’an and Old Liu go in first.

Tao Su’an: “Thank you.”

Zong Nan looked at his back and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. He once studied Psychology and Criminology. After getting in touch with a person, he can quickly figure out the implications and psychology in his expressions. He has rich experience and often needs to use this skill to investigate cases and collect intelligence during missions. To put it bluntly, Zong Nan can be a master at flirting.

But now, in the hands of this boy who was like a blank sheet of paper, he was running around in embarrassment.

Sunnyshies:I dunno about other countries law, but Kang Qicheng’s method…can already get him into prison in our country. Not to mention him beating his children, which is child abuse and can give him a sentence of 12-14 years in prison plus him beating his wife, its women and children violence which can get him to prison for 20 years = 20,000 php for psychological damage and counseling (I just searched), his “low-level” method of destroying the locks is “destroying private property” which is already enough to arrest him and have him fine for the damage. As long as there is evidence, actually even if there is no evidence, as long as there is a verbal complaint, the authority will respond…I know its fiction, but I don’t really get why I see this kind of scene a lot in novels. Its kind of alarming.
