Zhang Zian, who was going to dump the trash outside, happened to run into Sheng Ke. He asked with surprise, ”Captain Sheng, what are you doing here so early?”
Sheng Ke's body exuded the smell of cigarettes all the time. Putting the kraft paper folder under his armpit, he looked at Zhang Zian with his sharp eyes. ”Did you not sleep well last night?”
Damn it! Zhang Zian almost burst into tears. Are there words written on my face?! ”I had a nightmare in the early morning,” he replied truthfully.
”Oh, no wonder.” Sheng Ke noticed that Lu Yiyun had returned after washing the food basin, so he whispered, ”I need to speak to you, alone.”
Zhang Zian was shocked again. He guessed that Sheng Ke must had to say something important or something private. It would be inconvenient if Lu Yiyun was present and heard their conversation, so he said, ”Please go upstairs.”
”Xiao Yun, I will go upstairs to speak with the captain. Take care of the shop. Call me if something happens,” he told Lu Yiyun.
Lu Yiyun nodded, then sat down to draw her pictures. She had no interest in the privacy or gossip of others.
Sheng Ke glanced at the computer screen and exclaimed, ”Your drawing is really good!”
They went to the living room on the second floor. Zhang Zian asked Sheng Ke to sit down on the couch as he went to pour tea.
”Don’t bother, I'll leave after a few words.” Sheng Ke waved his hand. He looked around, making sure there was no one else in the room. ”Just close the door.”
Zhang Zian was unnerved by Sheng Ke’s mysteriousness. He reflected on what he had done, even the things that he had done in his childhood like stealing a bird’s egg and poking honeycomb. He wondered if he had been too pretentious recently, and that the police couldn’t stand him anymore and finally decided to punish him for the sake of the people. He closed the door, anxiously sitting opposite Sheng Ke.
Sheng Ke removed the kraft paper bag under his arm and threw it on the coffee table between the two of them. ”Take a look at this.”
Seeing there was only the character ”Guan” on the portfolio, Zhang Zian did not understand what it meant. He pulled out a stack of documents and saw a photo of a person not wearing a hat on the first page. He realized that ”Guan” referred to Guan Biao.
”This is?” he asked in wonder.
Sheng Ke untied his collar as if it was suffocating him. He said, ”Manager Zhang, about yesterday's explosion accident, what do you think?”
Zhang Zian thought and said cautiously, ”I think...it didn’t seem like an accident.”
”It was definitely not an accident. Some police dogs who auditioned were injured. At the time, I thought it was an accident, but from what I saw yesterday, there was something strange!” Sheng Ke grit his teeth.
Zhang Zian had long been skeptical of this. He looked down at Guan Biao's photo. ”Are you saying that this person deliberately used the explosion to injure the police dogs?”
”Very likely.” Sheng Ke's tone was unfriendly.
”No way! Isn’t it a criminal offense to wound police dogs?! Shouldn’t he be punished for assaulting the police?” Zhang Zian asked in disbelief. ”How dare he?!”
Zhang Zian did not understand the law, but from common sense, he knew harming police dogs was not a trivial issue, right? Therefore, although he had suspected Guan Biao, he was not sure without evidence. If this was true, then Guan Biao was extremely audacious!
”Here is the problem.” Sheng Ke sighed. ”Domestic laws and regulations are not perfect in this area, and there are many loopholes. I'll explain it to you.” Having organized his wording in advance, Sheng Ke methodically explained the difficulties of this incident to Zhang Zian.
