Chapter 143: Another Dead End (2/2)

“He’s right!” echoed Cheng Yahui.

“But I’m not a police officer,” I interjected. “Let me beat him for you instead.”

Xiaotao handed me a truncheon and ordered, “Smash this bitch’s knuckles and make sure he learns his lessons!”

Before I did anything, Cheng Yahui squealed like a pig. I raised the truncheon and yelled, “Did you ever consider that the victims had family who love them when you murdered them?”

“I never killed anyone!” he cried. “I’ve never even killed a fly!”

“You’re lying!” I shouted in anger. “Your semen was found on the model’s body!”

“That’s impossible!” he argued. “I asked her to come over for a threesome and she got angry at me. I didn’t touch her at all yesterday!”

“Threesome?” I asked. “With who?”

“Amy!”

It turned out that Cheng Yahui had been in a hotel room with the florist yesterday morning. The model was waiting for him to come over to another hotel room, but when Cheng Yahui shamelessly asked her to join him and Amy for a threesome, she refused and called her rich boyfriend instead.

In that case, Cheng Yahui had the perfect alibi. He could not have been the murderer.

I sat back in my chair and asked, “So why did you lie and say that Qu Tingting could prove that you were in the hospital that morning?”

“Because I couldn’t admit to something like that to the police! And besides, Nurse Qu would say anything I want her to!”

“Is Qu Tingting one of your lovers too?” asked Xiaotao.

“Are you insulting me?” he laughed. “Why would I even go near that woman? It’s not like I have any trouble finding a hot girl to sleep with!”

I heard a commotion outside. Someone was banging on the door.

“Don’t stop me!” shouted Dali. “I’m going in there to teach this son of a bitch a lesson!”

Judging from what I’d seen and heard, Cheng Yahui was indeed not the murderer. I thought we were at an impasse at this point. I exchanged a look with Xiaotao and she told Cheng Yahui, “Okay, you can go now.”

Cheng Yahui leaned back in his seat and snickered, “What do you think I am, your servant? You think you can drag me here whenever you like and tell me to leave just like that? I’m going to sue you, and I’m going to ask for compensation from the police for wasting my time and causing me trauma!”

“Oh, shut the fuck up and get lost!” snapped Xiaotao.

“Is that the attitude of a police officer? I’ll definitely report this! Who’s your superior officer?”

“Didn’t I just say that I’m not a police officer?”

Cheng Yahui looked me up and down and asked, “Then who the hell are you?”

“Just a student,” I answered.

Cheng Yahui burst out laughing and sneered, “Ah, so you’re just an intern!”

“I also happen to know a few gangster friends who can rough you up if I tell them to,” I told him.

Cheng Yahui’s expression changed drastically. He stood up and said, “Get these handcuffs off me and I’ll leave!”

When Cheng Yahui walked out of the interrogation room, the group of people who were outside glared at him. He saw Bingxin in the group of people and had the audacity to ask her, “Oh, you’re here too? Why don’t we have lunch together later?”

Bingxin slapped him.

“I’ll sue all of you!” he yelled while nursing his cheek.

Bingxin checked the palm of her hand and pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, “Wow! What a big mosquito! It didn’t bite you, did it?”

Dali looked at her hand and echoed, “Whoa! It’s a giant mosquito!”

The crowd went along with their act. Cheng Yahui was at a loss and didn’t know how to respond, so he just stomped away. When he was gone, Bingxin laughed heartily and cried, “Serves him right!”

To our surprise, trouble occurred immediately after Cheng Yahui was gone. A police officer ran over in panic and reported, “The doctor who was just here fainted downstairs!”

All eyes turned to Bingxin. Her jaw dropped and she exclaimed, “Was my slap that powerful?”

“This could be bad for us!” yelled Xiaotao. “Let’s go see him now!”
