“I don’t kno Tao Xiang found me!” Li Fei opened the cup cover of his coke and finished it off He even started chewing on a few of the ice cubes
“He said that he just happened to run into me, but I don’t think it was so simple!” Li Fei continued, “Back then, I was scared, yet was happy to see him at the same time! I was afraid that he had already found out that I was the murderer of the Headless Female Corpses Case and wanted to expose ain”
He then added, “Then, after we talked so about the heads I tried to ask about his story, too It turned out that, after Bai Lili’s dead body was found, Tao Xiang had gotten into some trouble too He was chased by his enehter!”
Li Fei paused to chew a few more ice cubes, then said, “Back then, he orried that I would get sucked into his situation, so he even took the risk to leave e in the old house before he fled, telling me to flee as well! So, he clearly didn’t have any idea about the things in the storage pit”
Li Fei was so absorbed in his own story, he looked as though a great weight was being lifted off of his mind when he spoke “Then, we continued to chat about our recent situations! When Tao Xiang spoke, I could tell that he felt that Bai Lili’s death ht have involved me However, he liked Fourth Sis even more than I did, so he didn’t dive too deep into the topic”
Li Fei raised his head, alht in front of hi was a very careful person He didn’t tell hter But, he did tella fortune…”
His eyes greide “He told h price for hiemstone in an exhibition in the capital! After he stole it, he said that he would receive two million in cash!+ But, he mentioned that he happened to be short one trusty assistant!”
He grinned as he recalled that day “I knew that he wanted to give me a hand, as he saw that I was in a worse situation than he was So, he invited eht away that I was out of practice and probably couldn’t help hiether and said that I would just be his assistant, which wouldn’t require any skills! He even said that he would give me one-third of the money!”
He shook his head and said, “Of course, I couldn’t refuse such a great deal! So, I quit my job at the funeral parlor that same day and drovewent s of thieves Actually, all I did was to keep watch I wasn’t of much use otherwise, and anyway, he could totally do it all alone!”
