Chapter 6: "Wishing the Detective"
“…… I'll help you. ”
Liu Yanshi was stunned.
I didn't seem to understand what he meant.
"Shi Zuo is ...... What did you say? ”
"So said it, I'll help you." Shi Zuocai repeated it with some irritation.
After confirming that he had heard correctly, Liu Yanshi looked even more surprised. She became silent, with a very complicated expression on her face, and finally asked softly:
"What are you going to do?"
"It's not clear, but we still have time." Shi Zuocai knelt next to Fu Sizhe's corpse, frowning, and he began to recall the surrounding buildings and terrain.
"We have to find a way to dispose of the corpse first. The traces of suicide by burning charcoal should also be covered up, and your cries should have been noticed by the neighbors. ”
Fu Ying'er looked at him blankly, speechless. Shi Zuocai closed his eyes, already immersed in his own world. There was not a trace of horror in him about the corpse in front of him, as if it was just another ordinary commission that had nothing to do with him.
Panic won't solve anything.
The only thing that can save them is reason. Shi Zuo thought so. There must be some perfect way to do it – it's like a complex functional equation. Be calm, divergent thinking, and find the only correct solution in the endless chaos.
If it's him...... Or, if it was him and his sub-personality - plus Liu Yanshi, this time the matter should be solved.
……
Zhu Ansheng got up from the bed suddenly.
In autumn, the temperature is slightly cooler. The quilt slipped and he was shirtless, wearing only a pair of boxers. The lines of the bare body look flabby and powerful, covered with shocking scars.
But the scars have scabbed, and the muscles have gradually loosened due to years of slackness.
He pulled back his long, scruffy hair that covered his eyes, got out of bed in a daze, and stepped on a bra on the floor.
I was a little drunk last night, and my memories are quite confusing.
He picked up his bra, staggered against the closet next to the bed, kicked open a few more cans at his feet, and walked out of the messy bedroom.
Walking to the bathroom door, a woman was dressing up in front of the mirror.
She looked like she had just finished showering, her hair still damp, and she was already dressed: a close-fitting black chiffon blouse, slender arms looming in the translucent balloon sleeves, and boots that curved a tight line an inch at the knee. She was applying lipstick, and her lips were red like blood.
Zhu Ansheng squinted his eyes sleepily and raised his eyebrows a little confusedly. After a pause, he leaned against the door frame and made a relaxed pose:
"Oh hi, uh......"
He was trying to remember the woman's name, and he remembered that there was a "clean". If there is a "Jie", then her surname should be "Chen", if not, it is the surname Tan.
The woman looked at him through the reflection of the mirror, smiling sewitchingly.
"I wish Detective, I look good."
"Huh...... Overpraise. ”
"Should you wear a pair of pants?"
Zhu Ansheng lowered his head, and the first thing he saw was the bra on his hand. He hid his bra behind him and smiled awkwardly.
"I messed up the room so much last night that it took a lot of time to find my pants."
"Last night...... the woman's eyes fluttered, "We weren't in the room most of the time." ”
"Not in the room?"
The woman smiled, put away her lipstick, put it in her bag, and said word by word: "Living room, sofa, dining table, balcony...... and on the ground. ”
Zhu Anchang let out a long "oh oh", and the "oh oh" reached the second half, and his tone rose slightly.
The woman continued:
"Thank you."
Zhu Ansheng opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, his eyes turned around, he didn't remember anything critical, he said tentatively:
"Uh...... Thanks for what? ”
The woman looked at him, smiled and took out a stack of photos from her bag, which lit up.
"With this, the adulterer's future is ruined."
Zhu Ansheng looked at those photos and finally came to a daze.
The photo was taken by him. The content is a middle-aged man with a big belly who gets out of a luxury car and holds the waist of a young schoolgirl.
That person's name is Tan Jinxi, and he is a director of a Fortune 500 Internet company.
And the woman in front of him is his original wife.
Zhu Ansheng blinked his eyes and scolded "damn it" in his heart.
- He still remembered the wrong name, it turned out that the woman's surname was not "Tan", and the surname Tan was her husband.
The woman smiled semerally.
"It's worthy of Detective Zhu, I invited more than a dozen paparazzi but failed to investigate the clues, and it only took three days for you to catch the little tail."
"It's just running business."
"I heard that you used to be Interpol, and you were still an ace. Some people also call you 'Galileo of criminal investigation'...... Now that he is a private detective, he is really humiliating. However, being an Interpol is really dangerous, right? The woman looked meaningfully at the scar on his body.
"You must persuade the man who told you this, that he should apologize to Galileo of the whole world."
Zhu Ansheng deliberately avoided talking about his past. The woman was a wise woman, and she didn't ask questions, but passed by him with a bag on her shoulder.
"See you soon...... Best wishes to the detectives. ”
Zhu Ansheng touched his nose: "Generally speaking, guests who come to me don't want to come a second time." ”
"I'm different......" The woman still didn't look back, walked around the mess of garbage on the ground, twisted seductively and walked towards the door, leaving a slow word.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again."
Zhu Ansheng blinked, slowly lowered his head, reacted quickly, and waved his hand:
"Hey! Your bra! ”
"That's not mine." The woman turned the doorknob on her own.
Zhu Ansheng was a little embarrassed:
"Goodbye then...... Uh, little ...... Qi? He finally decided to take a gamble, and six out of ten women in Guangzhou have "Qi" in their names.
The woman finally turned her head and glanced at him:
"My name is You Jun."
The woman opened the door and was about to leave when she bumped into a young police officer. The woman glanced at the officer and walked away.
The police officer was stunned, looked at Zhu Ansheng, who was blocking his pants with a bra at the bathroom door, and smiled bitterly.
"Brother-in-law."
Zhu Ansheng obviously didn't expect him to appear at this moment. Scratching at his hair in embarrassment, he realized the bra on his hand and threw it casually on the couch.
"Xia Liang, a rare guest...... What's the matter with me? ”
Xia Liang glanced at the messy living room, frowned, and walked around the pile of garbage on the ground.
"It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and have a look."
Zhu Ansheng found a windbreaker on the hanger and draped it on his body, looking like the kind of exhibitionist pervert who walks on the street in the middle of the night and picks on girls. He continued to rummage through the cluttered table for something.
"After so many years, you are still like this, and it is not good to tell lies. Don't move. ”
Xia Liang's feet that were about to fall were frozen in mid-air, Zhu Ansheng pounced, picked up a pipe that was about to be stepped on, looked up and down, and blew again, and a large canopy of soot bloomed in the air.
Two people coughed. Xia Liang patted the dusty police uniform, and Zhu Ansheng continued to look for tobacco with a disgraced face.
"Who was that woman just now?"
"Customer." Zhu Ansheng replied without looking back, paused, and added: "It should be Yanzimen." ”
Xia Liang frowned:
"Brother-in-law...... Didn't you be told not to associate with such people? You're aiding and abetting. ”
"You have to figure out the cause and effect first. First of all, I didn't take her commission because she was a fraudster, but in the process of completing the commission, I put forward the speculation that she might be a fraudster. Secondly, you shouldn't listen to every word I say, private investigators don't have credibility......"
Zhu Ansheng snorted, moved away the marble coffee table on the table, and tobaccos scattered under the coffee table, just enough for a handful. He continued: "You can never rely on what I tell you to arrest a prisoner, my words are not evidence, and that is fishing law enforcement. ”
"After all these years, you still love to preach."
Zhu Ansheng carefully filled the tobacco into the pipe and began to look for a lighter again.
"It's hard to change people. Don't you be the same, as tough as a cow. From the time you were eighteen years old, I told you not to follow my old path...... You're not the material to be a criminal policeman. ”
"Why?" Xia Liang asked.
"You're too straight. Rigidity is extremely easy to fold. It's not just about upholding justice and fighting evil, it's not as simple as you think...... The human heart is a terrible thing, those who do good deeds are not necessarily good people, those who do bad things are not necessarily bad people, you will become less and less aware of what you are doing, you will know sooner or later...... Depend on! ”
The lighter found under the sofa was soaked in water, and it couldn't be fired. Zhu Ansheng threw it into the trash can and looked up at Xia Liang:
"Is there a fire?"
Xia Liang shook his head: "Brother-in-law, you know I don't smoke. ”
Zhu Ansheng did not give up, and lay on the ground with a pipe in his mouth and continued to search.
"Whatever you like to call me in private, don't call me brother-in-law when you see your parents."
Xia Liang was stunned and sighed:
"Brother-in-law, it's been seven years...... You're living such a decadent life, sooner or later, something will happen to your body. ”
Zhu Ansheng never found a lighter, he took out two pieces of paper from the paper tube, rolled them into strips, walked to the kitchen, twisted the switch of the gas stove several times, and finally burst into flames. He lit the paper towel, lit the pipe with the paper towel, threw the paper towel into the sink, and took a pleasant puff of the pipe.
"I'm doing pretty well right now."
Xia Liang looked at him and clenched his fists silently.
"Brother-in-law...... You've been my benchmark for so many years, and I really don't want to see you the way you are. ”
"Benchmarks? That's your own wishful thinking. If you are not a criminal policeman, you want to do the opposite, your parents already hate me to death. ”
Xia Liang's expression was complicated, and he gritted his teeth: "I know your feelings for my sister, and I also know what you are doing as a private detective...... But you're wrong......"
Zhu Ansheng took another puff of cigarette, raised his head, and looked at him with interest.
"So what do you think is right?"
Xia Liang was silent for a while, and said, "We must use the most legal channels to bring the prisoners to justice...... Just like you did before, isn't that okay to be a righteous detective? ”
"Nope."
Zhu Ansheng said:
"Justice can't save your sister, and neither can the law."
The corners of Xia Liang's eyes twitched, and he was speechless.
Zhu Anchang exhaled, lay down on the sofa, and bounced up with a screaming chicken-like sound. He lifted the pillow and found a boxy cigarette box underneath, covered with tobacco, and a box of matches lying down.
He put the cigarette box in his hand and looked at it, and smiled bitterly: "There are some things that you take great pains to find but can't find, and they come out by themselves in a flash." ”
Refilled the pipe with tobacco and took a puff, Zhu Ansheng turned his head to look at Xia Liang:
"Tell me, what the hell are you looking for me?"
Xia Liang was silent for a while, but still sighed, and found a place to sit at the other end of the sofa.
"Today...... Our police force found a strange murder case at the Huangsha Seafood Market. ”
Zhu Ansheng's eyes moved slightly.
