Chapter 272 (2/2)

“Here we are, Boss.” Zheng Xing reminded.

“Let’s go upstairs.” Boss Zhao took the lead in going upstairs.

“Da Da Da”, the footsteps of the three people were precisely the same.

When they arrived at the door, Lin Cong sighed silently and then said, “Let me knock the door.”

“Is there anybody in?” he straightway knocked the door lightly and asked politely.

“Who?” A low and husky male voice passed to them. The man sounded to be young.

“Is it Huang Li? I’m Officer Lin.” Lin Cong didn’t conceal his identity. After a slight hesitation, he said directly.

“Hua La”, the door was opened straightforwardly. At the door stood the young boy.

He wasn’t tall. The gloomy aura passed from all over his body and the overlong hair almost covered his eyes, with his face snowy white. He didn’t seem to be friendly while looking at them.

“What’s the matter?” Asked Huang Li straightforwardly, not intending to invite them into the house to take a seat.

“Is your elder sister at home?” Boss Zhao went up and asked. He had been quite used to such treatment, which should have been the mildest kind.

He had also encountered many occasions when people come up and beat the policemen bluntly. After all, the family members of the victim were all severely wounded.

“Yes, she is. What’s the matter?’ Huang Li nodded the head and continued asking persistently.

The three people then got stuck and didn’t know what to say. Luckily, there passed a soft female voice from inside of the room at that time, “Huang Li, who are there?”

“Three police officers.” Huang Li knew his sister’s character and hence stepped aside and let them in.

“Officer Zhou, Zheng and Lin, why are you all here?” Huang Ling went up and looked at them in surprise.

“Yes. How is your life?” The three people had never received such a placid greeting, thus they didn’t know what to say for an instant. Lucky that Boss Zhao was an experienced policeman and hence asked to relieve the embarrassment.

“You look around by yourself.” Huang Li sneered at them.

The sentence of “How is your life?” was usually used as an opening remark. But the living environment of the sister and brother were not very bad, yet not good, either. It was a small apartment with two bedrooms. There was neither living room nor dining room. They had meals in the kitchen. At a corner of the room were many red ropes while on the right side hung lots of Chinese knots with different sizes.

“Brother, could you go to check the gruel?” Huang Ling sent her brother away.

Seeing Huang Li shamble away, the three people were lost in silence again.

“Officers, what do you come to me for today?” Compared with her brother, Huang Ling was less cynical. She asked mildly.

“Why did you treat us to that meal?” asked Lin Cong with a look of solemnity.

“I just wanted to thank you. I knew you had just stayed up for a whole night that day.” With a mild tone, Huang Ling didn’t say anything else.

“Don’t you hate us?” Zheng Xing kept silent for a while and then asked.

“Of course not. I should thank you for what you did for us. Really, thank you. Even if it isn’t a satisfactory result for me, it’s not the good reason not to be grateful. I hate the gangster.” Speaking of the gangster, Huang Ling revealed a flash of hatred in the eyes. Looking at the three police officers in front of her, however, she just smiled peacefully.

Even if the result wasn’t satisfactory to her, she was still grateful, because the police really did their best. Hearing that, Boss Zhao and the other two stood there stiffly as if they had been hit by the thunderbolt.

“Thank you for the soup dumplings that you bought for us. They are just very delicious,” with a complex expression, Boss Zhao stood up and said earnestly at last.

“That’s because Boss Yuan cooks well. Those customers all say so.” Huang Ling appeared quite happy. She only heard of the impressive taste from others, as she had never eaten any of them. After all, the price of even the cheapest dish was fairly high for them.

“Can you give us some red knots?” Zheng Xin looked at the red knots behind her and then asked.

“Of course. Each of you can take one as my gift.” Huang Ling turned the head and saw the red knots that were for sale.

“Thank you.” The three people received the red knots with care and put them into their pockets with one accord. After that, they left.

“Take care, officers.” Huang Ling stood at the door and waved her hands to them. Thank you, even if the result wasn’t so satisfactory.

The three people nodded the head and then turned around and left…
