Chapter 184: Dog Egg’s Testimony
Jia Xingyun said, “I'll send them away!” Then, he closed the bedroom door .
After seeing the popular custard boy[1] appearing on the bed of a rich second-generation in Long'an, Lin Dongxue was so speechless that she only asked after a while, “What is your relationship with each other?”
“Any relationship of mine has nothing to do with you . Any words that characterize our relationship will tarnish our relationship, so I’ll need to ask Miss Lin not to make any associations or connections . I need you both to say nothing about this when you get out of this door . This is just my private life . It’s not something that harms the world . ”
Chen Shi raised his hand . “I'm sorry to bother you guys . Can I borrow a bathroom?”
Jia Xingyun dismissed, “Don't play this game with me . Do you want my DNA? The toilet is very dirty . I'll just give it to you!”
“It really surprises me that Mr . Jia is so cooperative . ”
“It’s because I’m innocent . But in exchange, I want you to tell me what you’re suspecting me of . ”
“Do you have any cotton swabs?”
Jia Xingyun fetched a cotton swab and Lin Dongxue took some samples from the upper wall of his mouth and put them in the evidence bag . Then, they fulfilled their promise and told him what they were suspecting him of .
“So you suspect that I planned the kidnapping case five years ago?” Jia Xingyun laughed out loud . “I really admire your creativity!”
“Doubting everything is part of our job . ” Lin Dongxue said a little heatedly .
“Good job! Good job!” Jia Xingyun applauded . “In fact, I know who the mastermind is . If Miss Lin is willing to accompany me for dinner, I can tell you . ”
Lin Dongxue frowned . “Excuse me . Don't you like men?”
“I like everything that’s beautiful . ”
Chen Shi laughed at himself . “It seems I wasn’t born handsome enough . ”
Jia Xingyun gave him a disgusted look, but looking back at Lin Dongxue, his eyes softened again . “Think about it . ”
“If you’re not the mastermind, but you know who it is, then this person is Lu Zhendong, right?” Chen Shi speculated .
Jia Xingyun's expression was flustered for a moment . “Respect! You broke through my bottom card[2] . ”
“Thank you for your valuable clues . We won’t bother you any longer . ”
“If the events of today gets out as gossip, I’ll sue you!” Jia Xingyun reminded them once again .
When they went downstairs, Lin Dongxue questioned, “Isn't Lu Zhendong dead? What’s the significance of Ji Chunma's evidence?”
“You should think from the perspective of Ji Chunma . For five years, he has used this evidence to extort Lu Zhendong . While extorting him, he has his own risks to deal with too . Now that Lu Zhendong is dead, since the police still haven’t found out about this at all, he hurried back to Long’an to destroy the evidence . He probably thought that if he destroyed it, he could start from scratch . He wouldn’t have expected that during this crucial moment…”
“I didn't expect everything to be exposed like this!”
“The last case is not over yet, right?”
“We’re still doing post-case admin . ”
“Then, we should look up Lu Zhendong's finances while we’re at it . ”
After getting back, the waiting policemen couldn't wait to ask what was found . Chen Shi said, “We made a mistake . He and his girlfriend were having a nice night together . We made a blunder . ”
Everyone sighed in disappointment as Chen Shi handed the DNA sample to Peng Sijue . “This is Jia Xingyun's DNA . By the way, you can compare the blood on the banknote with Lu Zhendong's DNA . ”
It was almost 8:00 PM when Chen Shi got home . Old Lady Liu had fallen asleep after eating and Dog Egg was still playing games . Tao Yueyue was sitting on the sofa in the living room holding a criminal psychology book she had taken from Chen Shi’s bookshelf .
Tao Yueyue closed the book with a sigh like an adult and said, “It's so tiring being a sister . This child has too much energy . ”
Chen Shi walked up to the table and opened the lid on the plate of leftovers . “Did he say anything?”
Tao Yueyue shook her head . “He’s been playing all day long . I feel that he’s in a good mood but he’s just not talking . ”
“Want to go out?”
“Okay!”
“Let’s bring him with us!”
“Okay . ” Tao Yueyue's tone lowered suddenly .
After having a few bites, Chen Shi went to ask Dog Egg . “Dog Egg, do you want to go out for a walk with Uncle?”
Dog Egg shook his head and continued to play Crossfire[3] . He was simulating the sound of gunshots with his mouth .
“Then, I‘ll just go out to eat ice cream with Yueyue . Stay at home like a good boy then . Don’t wake up your grandma… Yueyue, what kind of ice cream do you want to eat?”
“I heard that there’s a new variety that’s come out . It’s a large glass of ice cream sprinkled with a thick coat of chocolate sauce and crushed chocolate in the middle . ”
“Is it delicious? I want a cup too!”
“It'll be wonderful to have a big cola after eating it as well . ”
The two continued like this and Dog Egg was immediately tempted . He even stopped playing the game and looked at them shyly .
Chen Shi patted him on the head and said, “Be good at home . We'll be back in a bit . ”
When they got dressed, Dog Egg ran out and silently held Tao Yueyue's clothes . Chen Shi asked, “You don't want us to go?”
Dog Egg shook his head .
“Do you want to go to the bathroom?”
Dog Egg shook his head .
“How would I know what you want if you don’t talk?”
“I-ice cream . ” Dog Egg stuttered .
“Put on your clothes and we can go!”
They went to a nearby fast food restaurant and the chocolate sundae made Dog Egg’s eyes turn into crescent-shaped moons . Tao Yueyue said, “So pure . He was bribed just like that . ”
“Fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps[4] . Let’s get to business!” Chen Shi said . “Can you tell your uncle what you saw that night in the house?”
Suddenly, Dog Egg looked terrified . He stared at Chen Shi with widened eyes and his mouth covered in chocolate sauce .
“Still can’t? Do we really need to find a psychologist?”
“I'll try and talk to him . Uncle Chen, go outside for a while . ”
Chen Shi went outside and watched the two children from the other side of the glass . At the beginning, Tao Yueyue was the only one talking . Slowly, Dog Egg began to talk more and more .
After waiting for half an hour, Tao Yueyue indicated with her finger for him to come back in, so Chen Shi put out his cigarette butt and went back in . Tao Yueyue whispered, “He told me . I recorded it . ”
Chen Shi was very happy and said to Dog Egg, “Shall we go home?”
Dog Egg shook his head, pointing to the children's center in the fast food restaurant . Chen Shi said, “Then, you go and play there for a while!”
Dog Egg tugged at Tao Yueyue's sleeve and said, “Sister, play with me!”
Tao Yueyue lied to him . “Elder sister is too big . Only small children are allowed to go in there . We’ll watch you from here, okay?”
Dog Egg believed that it was true and ran in to play by himself .
Tao Yueyue took out her mobile phone and played the recording . Dog Egg’s words were intermittent with some of Tao Yueyue’s words mixed in .
The contents of the recording was vaguely that Dog Egg broke a small toy that day . He remembered that it was white . Wang Xifeng yelled non-stop at him . When his grandma showed up, the pieces on the ground turned black and Wang Xifeng said it was an antique worth a lot of money .
Because the bad woman was lying, he was beaten by his grandma . Dog Egg was so angry that he broke a bunch of small cups on the table and ran away .
At night, he and his grandma could only spend the night in a small, cold, and bright house . Dog Egg thought that all of this was caused by the bad woman . The place they were at was very close to the bad woman's house, so he snuck into the community when his grandma fell asleep .
From his memory, he found the bad woman's house . He wanted to get revenge on her, but he didn't expect that the door was not closed . He pushed the door open a little and smelled a heavy smell in the room . The bad woman lay on the ground with widened eyes . . .
1 . Young man but not classically masculine . Almost a bit feminine .
2 . He saw right through him .
3 . Online tactical FPS game . Released by Tencent Games in 2008 . Like Counterstrike .
4 . An expression that is the equivalent to the English phrase of “a pot calling the kettle black” .
