Chapter 374: 374: Jiang Zhi boasts about becoming a father (second update)
“Who is Brother Jie?” Wang Lixian looked through all the information on the captured kidnappers but didn’t find anyone by that na.
“He’s our boss.”
Wang Lixian picked up a photo, pointing to the person in it: “This one?”
Congtou imdiately nodded.
“Why is he wearing a mask?”
This was also the oddity of the case: how the kidnappers captured the person was completely left undiscovered, yet several caras managed to record the process of taking the hostage onto the boat. Out of the fourteen kidnappers, thirteen were caught on cara with visible faces, only one wore a mask.
The case appeared flawless at the beginning; even assisted by a hacker from the shadows, yet for so reason, it was riddled with leaks towards the end, as if they intentionally exposed themselves.
Congtou confessed, “He has a scar on his face, so he always wears a mask.”
Wang Lixian asked, “Have you seen the scar on his face?”
He shook his head.
“So you’ve never seen his face?”
“He never takes off his mask, not just , none of our brothers in the Hu Hai Gang have seen it.”
That was strange.
Wang Lixian stared intently at the photo, looking at it over and over again, but the subject was too well-covered, revealing no distinctive features except for height: “What’s his background?”
Congtou shook his head.
“You don’t know the background of your own boss?”
He really didn’t know.
Congtou detailed everything, “Brother Jie joined us at the Hu Hai Gang just over a month ago. Before that, we only smuggled cigarettes and never got involved in murder or kidnapping. It was after Brother Jie ca that we started going for the big scores.”
Before, smuggling cigarettes was done by the box, but with Brother Jie, it was by the boatload.
Wang Lixian threw the photo down on the table with a tap: “You dare to go for big jobs without even knowing his na or face?”
Congtou trembled with fear, “Because, because the share of money was more.”
“To spend all that dirty money in prison?”
“…”
The policeman dad is always your dad!
“Policeman dad… ugh, Policeman big brother,” Congtou’s tongue was tied, asking shakily, “Mr. Jiang’s girlfriend is still alive, right? If she’s alive, do I not get the death sentence?”
The policeman dad glanced at him: “Haven’t you heard what Mr. Jiang said?” He said emotionlessly, “Turned into a ghost.”
“…”
The net of heaven has large shes, but it lets nothing through… darn, if you’ve committed a cri, even calling ‘dad’ won’t help.
Next door to the interrogation room.
“That boss’s na is Xiong Jie, he’s also a professional errand runner.” Zhou Xufang said, “I’ve dealt with him before, he’s one of Ah Win’s subordinates.”
That explained it. The first half of the kidnapping case was carried out by FOR’s people, hired by the mastermind, to fra the Lu Family and kill the hostages, executed without a hitch. The second half, Xiong Jie deliberately blew his cover with the Hu Hai Gang under surveillance, to shift the bla.
Qiao Nanchu had seen the surveillance tapes: “He was the only one wearing gloves, probably didn’t leave any fingerprints.”
Jiang Zhi asked, “What about the call to the police?”
“The Serious Cris Unit, our Intelligence Division, and the Lu Family are all investigating, but the leads are scarce. No evidence found so far, likely a top hacker.”
FOR is a professional errand running company, not lacking in equipnt or talent, aside from the independent Zhou Xufang and Wen Baiyang, there are hardly any rivals in the field.
“Your family also happens to have a top hacker,” Jiang Zhi pointed to Wen Baiyang.
Qiao Nanchu smiled but didn’t speak.
Wang Lixian ca over, very politely asking, “Why are Mr. Jiang and Captain Qiao here together?” Two big Buddhas and a ‘ghost.’
Qiao Nanchu was succinct: “Here to help you crack the case.”
“Then let thank you both in advance.”
“Regarding the victims and the investigation of this case, I hope Captain Wang will keep it confidential.” His tone was partly pleading, mostly warning, and Jiang Zhi added, “After all, your Serious Cris Unit is also hiding a little ghost.”
The statent was food for thought.
Wang Lixian agreed, “Understood, this case is also the responsibility of my Serious Cris Unit. Rest assured, I will provide you with a satisfying resolution.”
No matter what, now that we’re on this thieves’ ship, we can’t get off until the case is solved.
Afterward, two big Buddhas and a ghost left the police station together.
Jiang Zhi first escorted Zhou Xufang back to the car, fastening her seatbelt for her: “Fang Bao, wait for a little while.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Zhi pulled Qiao Nanchu aside to discuss sothing.
Zhou Xufang was no longer there, and Qiao Nanchu started to tease others, “Jiang Zhi, you’re really cheesy.”
He didn’t think so, “How is it cheesy?”
Qiao Nanchu mimicked his sickly sweet tone, “Fang Bao.”
Jiang Zhi shot him a glare, “Don’t call that!” Only he could call Fang Bao.
Qiao Nanchu popped a piece of Nicotine Gum into his mouth.
Yang Bao?
Forget it, he couldn’t bring himself to say it, Bai Yang rolled off the tongue easier.
Jiang Zhi got down to business, “Get two pairs of handcuffs.”
“What do you need handcuffs for?” Realizing your sins and looking to reform?
“They’ll be useful.” He didn’t say what for.
Qiao Nanchu pressed on, “What are they for?”
Jiang Zhi gave a vague explanation, “For sleeping.” He hadn’t slept at all last night because they were sleeping in separate beds. He planned to handcuff his feet together in the future just so he could sleep next to Zhou Xufang.
Sleeping, handcuffs.
Qiao Nanchu crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Zhi with a half-smile, raising his eyebrows suggestively, “Brother Zhi, turns out you have quite the taste.”
“…”
This irreverent bastard!
With an indifferent face, Jiang Zhi retorted, “What nonsense are you spouting, my girlfriend is pregnant.”
In his tone, there was a heavy hint of boasting.
Qiao Nanchu deliberately misinterpreted, “How beastly are you to have to handcuff yourself?”
“Stop talking nonsense!” If he insisted on uncovering his shortcomings, fine, he licked his teeth, “It’s because I move around too much in my sleep and might kick my girlfriend. Happy now?”
Qiao Nanchu laughed and stopped teasing him, “Congratulations.”
“Don’t be envious, you can’t get what I have.”
If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging to the sky.
Qiao Nanchu was indeed a bit envious.
Having boasted, Jiang Zhi said, “Don’t spread the word yet, the baby is still small, and you can’t show off in the first three months.”
That was a common folk belief, that the first three months of pregnancy should be kept a secret so that the baby would receive protection from the spirits and grow up healthy and safe.
Qiao Nanchu found it curious, “You believe in that?”
“Better to believe it and be on the safe side.”
Qiao Nanchu stifled a laugh, “Then why are you telling ?”
Jiang Zhi spoke bluntly, “Not bragging to soone about it doesn’t feel right.”
“…”
He wanted to kick him!
He was still boasting, “Nanchu, I’m going to be a dad.”
Qiao Nanchu was annoyed, “I know.”
He smiled foolishly, his eyes shining with spirit, the beautiful and enchanting face even had a touch of simplicity, “I’m going to have a child.”
“Mhm.”
“Zhou Xufang is going to have my child.”
Qiao Nanchu really felt like swearing, “I know!”
Jiang Zhi smiled, revealing a small canine, “I feel like I love Zhou Xufang even more.”
Qiao Nanchu, “…”
“I—”
Qiao Nanchu couldn’t listen anymore, “That’s enough.”
Jiang Zhi looked at him, more serious than ever, “I really love her, I’d give my life for her.”
“…”
Unbearable!
Qiao Nanchu waved him off, “I’m leaving.”
“Get the handcuffs as soon as possible.”
“…”
