Chapter 69 Police Interrogation

Xiao Bing's eyes gleamed with sorrow. He sighed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't bring it up."

 

"It's nothing." Dumbass 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."

 

Dumbass 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 Dumbass and instinctively dodged the bullets. Dumbass had no idea what was going on because he was already drunk.

 

"Damn it, you're so heavy! You should go on a diet." After making a joke, Xiao Bing carried Dumbass 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 assassin 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, Dumbass 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 Dumbass back to the noodle house. The place was packed with customers at the moment. Xiao Bing told Dumbass 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 trespassing. 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 assuming 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 Wangting 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 Wangting 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 identity.

 

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 Wangting 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 attitude 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 sex," 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 trespassing, 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 assassin 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.
