"Do you know where Zhou Tiannan is?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"How would I know, Mr. Song? I have no dealings with them, my venue doesn't need them to keep an eye on things. Whenever your na is ntioned, they all avoid it like the plague; no one dares to ss with you." Chen Zixu replied.
"You little punk, are you hiding sothing from ?" Song Xiaodong stared at Chen Zixu's eyes, smiling.
"Wh... Why would I?" Chen Zixu's forehead was sweating, and his expression was a bit unnatural.
"Did your kidney function recover again?" Song Xiaodong squinted as he smiled.
"Mr. Song, you're putting
in a really tough spot here!" Chen Zixu said with implications.
"I'm telling you, the one asking for my help is Deputy Director Qiao from the city's Public Security Bureau. They heard about a major case from the province, and they sent down a task force to thoroughly investigate. If you know sothing but don't report it, you'll be going to jail with Brother Zhou Tiannan, and then don't even think about interviewing any female celebrities. With your delicate skin, don't let other n have their way with you!" Song Xiaodong said.
"Oh please, Mr. Song, stop scaring . I've been scared by others all these days, Mr. Song, please spare ." Chen Zixu bowed his head, clasped his hands in a plea to Song Xiaodong.
"Speak up, who contacted you? If you have anything to do with Zhou Tiannan, I won't have any rcy for you then."
"Mr. Song, don't be like that!"
"Then tell
what's going on!"
"Well, I just opened two nightclubs over on Yonghe Road, everything was going smoothly, but suddenly these days, Big Brother Chen Yong from Ningjiang Road brought dozens of guys wanting to buy shares. I didn't agree, he said he'd give
three days to turn over the venues, and once their big brother returns, he'll hack
to pieces." Chen Zixu said with lingering fear.
"Do you suspect Chen Yong's big brother is Zhou Tiannan?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"I'm not sure, but who doesn't know
around those few blocks? Everyone knows I'm with Mr. Song, Chen Yong knows it too. If it weren't for Zhou Tiannan, no one would have such boldness."
"Do you know that assassin Zhou Kang? What's his connection to Zhou Tiannan?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"I know Zhou Kang, he used to hang out with Zhou Tiannan. Later, he opened a restaurant, and we all knew him. He's quite old; nobody expected him to wait for his big brother for 15 years. As soon as his big brother ca out, he started hacking people."
"Help
find out where Zhou Kang is."
"Alright, alright, but Mr. Song, tomorrow night, Chen Yong is supposed to co and hack
to pieces, what do you suggest we do?" Chen Zixu asked.
"Just wait, I'll be there then."
"Then I'm relieved!"
The next day, Song Xiaodong called Qiao Yutong.
"Hello, is that Deputy Director Qiao?"
"Mr. Song, do you have any news?"
"I've found out where Zhou Tiannan is."
"Huh? So quickly?"
"Of course."
"Then co to the bureau!"
Qiao Yutong's office was very spacious.
"Wow, Deputy Director Qiao, this is unlike the desk you had when you arrested , climbing up the ranks really does improve the perks." Song Xiaodong joked.
"Co on, it's been a while since I got promoted, and you're still teasing ."
"Do you have news?"
"Yes, I made inquiries yesterday. Do you know Chen Yong from Ningjiang Road?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"I know, Big Brother of Ningjiang Road, oversees four or five venues, has thirty to fifty n under him. Are you saying Zhou Tiannan is with him?" Qiao Yutong looked up from a mountain of files.
"Yep, I have a friend who runs a nightclub. A few days ago, Chen Yong brought people causing trouble, saying they wanted to buy shares, and that they'd hack him when their big brother returns." Song Xiaodong said.
"Well, the only returning big brother around now is Zhou Tiannan."
"I'll check Chen Yong's social connections." Qiao Yutong flipped through the files and said, "Sure enough, Chen Yong was also involved with Zhou Tiannan, but he wasn't involved in the fight 15 years ago."
"Xiaodong, you've been a big help!" Qiao Yutong stood up excitedly.
"But..." Qiao Yutong pondered over sothing else.
"Zhou Tiannan is not the murderer, there's no reason to arrest him." Qiao Yutong frowned deeply.
"Zhou Kang has committed cris and is surely hiding. Although he's still in Minghe, it's uncertain when we'll find him. I think arresting Zhou Tiannan would be beneficial." Song Xiaodong said.
"How so?" Qiao Yutong asked.
"If we arrest him, he can't continue committing cris."
"Yes, but right now there's no reason to arrest him."
"Arresting Chen Yong would also be useful; while Zhou Tiannan was in jail, soone outside was actively moving, and I think that's Chen Yong."
"Yes, but still, there's no reason to arrest him." Qiao Yutong sighed and sat back in his chair.
"Even if we know Zhou Tiannan is with Chen Yong, we can't just go in and arrest him to check if he's there."
"I have a way." Song Xiaodong purposely paused.
"You have a way?" Qiao Yutong's eyes lit up.
"But, it's up to you, Deputy Director Qiao, whether you want to use it."
"Tell , I'll listen."
Song Xiaodong explained his thod.
"Isn't this kind of unethical? Entrapnt?" Qiao Yutong hesitated.
"If things get stirred up, at least we can hold them for ten days to half a month, by then the provincial inspection team would be gone." Song Xiaodong said.
"I'm not trying to arrest soone, I'm trying to solve the case! I hope to catch Zhou Kang and use his testimony to implicate Zhou Tiannan, otherwise, more people will definitely die."
"You arrest the person first, he won't be able to commit more cris, and Zhou Kang can't hide forever. First control Zhou Tiannan, then slowly solve the case."
"Alright."
"But don't you put
back in the detention center then, I still need to go ho and hug my son!" Song Xiaodong joked.
"Hmph, we'll see how you perform!"
In the evening, Chen Zixu brought a dozen of his n over, trembling in fear inside his nightclub.
