Chapter 59 - Karma

Because Ah Hai had been sitting so still,Zhang Min seemed to have forgotten the man's existence.But his mutterings made Ah Hai sit up whose abrupt gaze shocked Zhang Min.A single word was uttered,"Explain."

Mrs Zhang wanted to take exception to the tone of the man but before she could say anything,Zhang Min began to explain."Yao Yao is Shi Ai's 'best friend'.She thinks that Yao Yao is just an empty head who behaves normally and likes to talk about boys.That girl seemes to have befriended Shi Ai when she first came to school so Shi Ai has a blind spot where that person is concerned.But I don't think the girl is as innocent as she pretends to be.The first time I came across her was when I went to see Shi Ai in class.The other girls in class were trying to bully Shi Ai and instead of defending her,Yao Yao was smiling gleefully.Shi Ai did not notice that but I had just entered the class so I did.Of course she tried to suppress herself after that but I was onto her.Ever since I have tried to warn Shi Ai but that girl turns dead whenever I mention Yao Yao.Even tonight,Yao Yao is the only one who could have invited Shi Ai.Let just Shi Ai get well and then I will torture Yao Yao properly."

Ah Hai turned his head to stare at Zhang Min and wondered how the gut would torture..maybe he will hide her books or pelt her with eggs?Sigh..

In his unemotional voice,Ah Hai said,"Zhang Min.Karma is a bit**.What you sow is what you reap.Do you know Min Min,that even thinking bad thoughts turn into bad karma.So we must  not think of torturing and castrating people."

At this cold statement,Mrs Zhang who had been listening intently was about to let out a rant but Ah Hai continued,"It is better to do it directly.That way you will only acquire one bad karma per deed instead of two by thinking and doing.You understand?"

Zhang Min nodded,stupified.He understood only one thing,Long Ah Hai also spoke like a grim reaper with all that talk of bad karma.He almost felt pity for Yao Yao and the others almost but  not quiet.

Mrs Zhang,however was  not quite expecting this.She had no idea of Ah Hai's identity and once the man closed his eyes again,she pulled at her son's sleeve asking with her eyes about the man.Zhang Min just mouthed,"Ask Dad." And then promptly turned to look away lest his mother try to force out an answer.

At the Police Station:

Chaos reigned outside the police precinct as the parents of the students who had been put under detention were causing a ruckus. The parents were not allowed to see their kids but the children had not been arrested,only held back for questioning.This was causing panic and confusion among those who had been informed.Since most were underage and minors the police wanted to be careful as well as set an example to those involved with the drugs.However they would not have kept the kids here for this long if it had not been for orders from the higher ups.

As Captain Doug sat in his small office,he wondered if he should be happy or worried.Usually when they arrested some rich kids,before the kids could even be brought back,he would have calls coming in from all the seniors to not look deeper into the case and leave it alone.On the other hand,this time all he received were orders to wait and not let anyone  go.Accordingly,all he could do was wait.Captain Doug wondered who that man was and how he was related to the girl.As far as he knew,the victim was an orphan girl which was the reason that the manager had been so cooperative.Just then an inspector came, knocked on the door and entered.He then placed a sealed envelope on the desk and said,"Sir,this is the classified information that we have just received from the Police Headquarters."With that the officer left and Captain Doug almost jumped on the file as if he was a kid trying to snatch some candy.The file contained the information on the mysterious man.

Captain Doug's eyebrows touched his hairline as he read the information.So the man's information was classified and he had been told that the man was related to the military and everybody needed to co operate with him come hell or high water.Next were the seton instructions added,the five suspects were to be arrested under a list of charges starting from molesting,teasing,attempt to r*** and murder,possession of drugs.And all these people were to be charged as adults as they were just a few months away from being adults.Captain Doug had also been authorized to deal with the others as he saw fit.And there seemed to be a special instruction for a girl called Yao Yao,she needed to be escorted home safely.This confused Captain Doug even more.Because,according to the surveillance cameras,Ms Yao Yao seemed to be the one who had made the arrangements for the party...
