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

"It's nothing . " Dumba.s.s 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 . "

Dumba.s.s 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 finis.h.i.+ng two packs of beer . Then, all of a sudden, two bullets flew toward them . Xiao Bing grabbed Dumba.s.s and instinctively dodged the bullets . Dumba.s.s had no idea what was going on because he was already drunk .

"d.a.m.n it, you're so heavy! You should go on a diet . " After making a joke, Xiao Bing carried Dumba.s.s 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 a.s.sa.s.sin 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, Dumba.s.s 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 Dumba.s.s back to the noodle house . The place was packed with customers at the moment . Xiao Bing told Dumba.s.s 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 trespa.s.sing . 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 a.s.suming 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 w.a.n.gting 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 w.a.n.gting 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 ident.i.ty .

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 w.a.n.gting 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 att.i.tude 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 s.e.x," 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 trespa.s.sing, 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 a.s.sa.s.sin 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 .

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

 .

"It's nothing . " Dumba.s.s 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 . ".
