Chapter 202 Don’t be Angry with Him

Yang Tao stares at Zhou Bing for a while and interrogates him suddenly, “How did you kill Li Xiaomeng?”

Zhou Bing who still pretended to be composed just now is overwhelmed by Yang Tao’s powerful voice instantly and becomes panicky. He stands up suddenly to defend himself, “Captain Yang, I didn’t kill Li Xiaomeng! She wasn’t killed by me! She is my boss’s daughter anyhow, so how could I kill her?”

Yang Tao looks sideways at him and snorts, “Zhou Bing, during the period of over half a year, you associated closely with Li Xiaomeng. You always covet her coffer key. Now she was killed. Don’t you have the largest motive for murder?”

“I’m innocent, Captain Yang! She wasn’t killed by me really!” Zhou Bing wipes off the sweat on his forehead and stresses again, “I didn’t associate closely with her and we seldom met.”

Seeing Yang Tao’s continuous glare at him, he corrects himself, “She just came to ask me to do something some days ago, but after that we haven’t had any association.”

Yang Tao asks, “What did she ask you to do?”

Zhou Bing confesses to the fire in Happy Community where Fu Zhengzheng lived in before, poisonous dishes in Jiaye Garden, the drugged night snack and the flowerpot that fell from a building in an unknown community and almost hit Fu Xing.

“Lin Jiao turns out to be wronged indeed. But I always thought it’s Qiao Keren that did the latter things!” Fu Zhengzheng is very surprised and asks puzzledly, “What’s the drugged night snack about? I don’t remember anything about it.”

Zhou Bing replies in a low voice, “You didn’t drink the alcohol, which was drunk by Li Yin. As a result, she and Bald Liu were matched together.”

Fu Zhengzheng recalls the weird behaviors of Bald Liu and Li Yin and takes a tumble.

“Only these things?” Yang Tao looks doubtful.

“Yes. Captain Yang, Li Xiaomeng instigated me to do these things. She said she would bear all the consequences. I was imprisoned before. I’m bored with being imprisoned. I’m very clear about the principle that killers must pay for their crimes. In addition, I know Li Xiaomeng didn’t have the coffer key, so am I crazy to to kill her just for looking for trouble?”

“How do you know she didn’t have the key?”

Zhou Bing laughs, “If she had got the key, would she have returned to B City? She would have left to enjoy herself with the coffer. It’s rumored in our circle that the coffer key is kept by Captain Ji. Li Xiaomeng began to approach Han family after returning to B City and moved to their house by hook or by crook. Wasn’t her intention obvious?”

Yang Tao stares at him and asks, “What will you say if I tell you she had got the coffer key before she died?”

“What? Had she got the key when she came out of Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort with Fu Xing that day?” Zhou Bing looks regretful.

“You sent someone to watch her all the time.”

Zhou Bing realizes a slip of the tongue and explains quickly, “I knew Li Xiaomeng was looking for the key, so I sent someone to watch her, hoping to seize the fruits effortlessly. But each time we followed her to the critical point, she got rid of us. So was the situation that day. When we followed her out of town, she got rid of us again.”

“Did you see her afterwards?”

“No! I heard that she was killed from the news.”

“Now that you didn’t kill her, why did you escape?”

Zhou Bing prevaricates, “I, I was afraid to be involved. I didn’t do anything evil really.”

He Menghuai interrupts, “Instigating others to commit crimes, conniving at others’ drug abuse and drug trafficking, compelling a female to engage in prostitution, running underground casinos, which one is not evil?”

“I…”

Zhou Bing is about to defend himself when He Menghuai shows him the record book and says coldly, “Even if you don’t confess, we don’t mind. Someone will testify each of your crimes.”

Zhou Bing becomes spiritless like a piece of limp lettuce instantly and grumbles, “At least I didn’t kill any person.”

Fu Zhengzheng asks suddenly, “Zhou Bing, when you watched Li Xiaomeng, did you find which man associated closely with her?”

“You mean Li Xiaomeng was likely to be killed by a person associating closely with her?”;

“Cut off your nonsense!”

“Yes, I did.”

The eyes of Yang Tao and Fu Zhengzheng light up instantly, “Who? Do you know him?”

Zhou Bing points at Fu Zhengzheng and says, “He is your lover, Han Siqi.”

Yang Tao looks frustrated and snaps, “Zhou Bing! Be serious! Who else you know besides Han Siqi?”

Zhou Bing grumbles, “What I say is true.”

When he sees Yang Tao glaring at him, he shuts up immediately.

Yang Tao thinks no useful clues will be got, throws the record book to He Menghuai and stands up, “Menghuai, you continue to interrogate him. Zhengzheng, let’s go.”

Fu Zhengzheng stands up, walks out of the interrogation room with Yang Tao and enters his office.

She sits on the sofa and says, “It seems that Li Xiaomeng’s death was early planned by the mysterious man. Is the key in his hand?”

Yang Tao meditates for a while and then replies, “It’s not sure. We can’t speculate randomly now. The point is to find out the man.”

Seeing Yang Tao’s serious expression, Fu Zhengzheng drops her eyes and says, “The key was lost by me. If the leader criticizes, I’m willing to undertake all responsibilities.”

“The director asked about the condition of your wound yesterday and praised you.”

“Praised me?”

“Yeah. He praised your bravery and selflessness and thanked for Mr. Han’s active cooperation.”

“Really?”

Yang Tao smiles, “When did I cheat you?”

Fu Zhengzheng pauses and then asks, “Did the director say when I’m allowed to return to A City and rejoin the team?”

“I asked that for you. He didn’t respond and just asked me to tell you to nurse your body and take good care of your kid at home. I guess the director has discussed it with your leader. Just rest at home.” Yang Tao gives Fu Zhengzheng a glass of water, “Have a drink and then I’ll drive you back.”

Fu Zhengzheng looks at the time and smiles, “That’s all right. It’s still early.”

“Don’t forget you just called with my phone. If you don’t go back, I think your man will come here to look for you.”

The expression “your man” makes Fu Zhengzheng flush. She says embarrassedly, “Yang Tao!”

“Well, just a joke. The guy is jealous easily.” Yang Tao smiles.

Fu Zhengzheng knows Yang Tao has been treated coldly several times by Han Siqi, so she comforts him embarrassedly, “That’s his temper. Don’t be angry with him.”

Yang Tao doesn’t take it to heart, “That he is jealous means he loves you. What am I angry about? I feel happy for you.”

Finding that Yang Tao thinks about it positively, Fu Zhengzheng’s mood becomes good and asks smilingly, “How is your relationship with Xiaoyue going? Xiaoyue is a good girl, beautiful, gentle, quiet and considerate. You’d better grasp the chance.”

Yang Tao becomes uncomfortable, “What are you talking about? We’re just good friends.”

“All right. Only good friends.” Fu Zhengzheng can’t help laughing, moves close deliberately and asks in a low voice, “Didn’t Muxian talk about it with you?”

Yang Tao becomes shier, “He did.”

Fu Zhengzheng is more interested, “What do you think about it?”

“We should ask the girl’s opinion about it at first, right?”

“Well, Xiaoyue has already promised, and it depends on you.”

Yang Tao flushes slightly and doesn’t know how to answer, so he changes the topic quickly, “Zhengzheng, let me drive you back.”

Fu Zhengzheng knows he likes her, so she drags him and keeps asking, “Please! Tell me if you like her.”

“Uh-huh!” Someone harrumphs at the door.

Yang Tao sees the person outside, pushes away Fu Zhengzheng’s hands and walks over, smiling embarrassedly, “Mr. Han, welcome. Come in and take a seat please.”

Fu Zhengzheng is startled at the two words “Mr. Han”. Turning around, she sees his cold face and becomes so panicky that she even stutters, “Siqi, here you are.”

“Darling, I come to pick you home.” Han Siqi ignores Yang Tao and comes to Fu Zhengzheng. His voice sounds soft.

“OK, let’s go home.” Fu Zhengzheng grins wryly.

She knows Han Siqi is saving her face.

Han Siqi holds Fu Zhengzheng’s hand and walks out.

Fu Zhengzheng turns around to look at Yang Tao, sticks out her tongue and then catches up with him fast.

After getting on the car, Han Siqi drives the car “carefully” and keeps silent.

Fu Zhengzheng gazes at her profile and tries to find a topic, “You get off work early today.”

Han Siqi doesn’t respond. She forces a laugh to make herself less embarrassed, and then says quietly and tentatively, “Well, I just asked Yang Tao how his relationship with Xiaoyue developed. He said they were in association. It seems it goes well.”

“Are you angry? Oh, you are so petty. He already has his sweetheart. You are still jealous of him.”

“All right. Don’t be angry. When will you believe Yang Tao and I are innocent?”

Fu Zhengzheng has said a lot to soothe him, but Han Siqi is still indifferent. She can’t help roaring finally, “Han Siqi, why is your heart smaller than the pinpoint?”

Han Siqi still keeps silent as if his mute point is attacked by someone.

Finding he is immune to both soft and hard tactics, Fu Zhengzheng rolls her eyes and snorts deliberately, “Zhou Bing was arrested today. He confessed he had helped Li Xiaomeng do many evil things. In order to look for the coffer key, he kept watching Li Xiaomeng secretly. He mentioned when he tracked Li Xiaomeng, he saw you check in with her in hotels.”

“Nonsense! When did I check in in hotels with her?”

Fu Zhengzheng chokes back laughing and continues to trick him, “Nonsense? He stated the hotel name and the room number clearly.”

“Hum. I’ve never taken a woman to the hotel.”

“Where do you live if you don’t go to the hotel?”

“Go home, of course.”

Fu Zhengzheng “roars”, “Damn Han Siqi! You lied to me that you and Li Xiaomeng were innocent. Bullshit!”

“I mean I go home by myself and never live in the hotel.”

“Chicanery.”

“Don’t make trouble out of nothing.”

Fu Zhengzheng snorts very “disdainfully”, “Deny what you did. Are you a man?”

Screech.

“Ah!”

Fu Zhengzheng knocks forward because of the emergency brake. Before she comes to herself, she was pulled and embraced by Han Siqi.

“Ah, what do you want to do?”
