Chapter 188: Humiliated by Money

"Watch what you say!" Chen Shi, who was scolded as an "asshole driver" looked up .

"I said asshole driver! Asshole driver! Asshole driver! What are you gonna do? Hit me?" Ji Chunma said as the fat on his cheeks jiggled .

Chen Shi rolled up his sleeves . "I'm not a policeman, so it doesn’t matter even if I hit you… But I won’t . Since you’re all fair and chubby, people will see to you in prison anyway . ”

Ji Chunma went pale for a moment, but then comforted himself immediately . "I’m a murderer and have the highest status in prison . Only I can take care of others . "

"I want to ask you about a minor detail . Wang Xifeng didn’t know you were a wanted criminal?"

"She knew! But she thought I was wanted for tax evasion or something . She’s a silly woman who doesn't care as long as she has money to spend . "

"The three people you killed five years ago were obviously murdered sloppily, but this time it seemed skilled and detached . Were there any other experiences in these last five years? I mean, do you have other cases that relate to you?"

"Oh! I won't say!"

"Why not?"

"This is the wisdom of criminals . I can stay in the prison and when I feel like having some meat, I’ll give you some info to help increase your crime solving rates . ”

"You can say anything you want! I don't care either way . " Chen Shi turned his head around and asked Lin Dongxue, "Is there anything you’d like to add?"

"The case is well-documented and has plenty of evidence . We may bring him back to the crime scene tomorrow to re-enact the murder . Then, we’ll wait for his trial . ”

"I will cooperate with you all," Ji Chunma said . "I can’t wait for the death penalty! I’m forty this year . I’ve enjoyed everything that I need to, so I have no regrets . I don’t want my delicate body to suffer in prison . I can’t wait to die and reincarnate as a rich second generation in my next life . ”

"You’re like a dead pig who isn’t afraid of boiling water[1] . " Chen Shi praised .

"You can say whatever you like . My life has been like Cao Xueqin’s[2] . Dream of Red Mansions? Psh, my life is much richer than that . "

"If Cao Xueqin heard that, he’d probably want to crawl out from his coffin to come and punch you,” Chen Shi said . "Ah, yes . Since you want to die so fast, why not tell us about a few more cases to try and get a heavier sentence? It’s a bad time waiting for you in the prison . There’s no meat to eat there . ”

Ji Chunma muttered to himself and then looked at the empty lunch box in his hand . "Give me another one and I'll tell you about a few people I killed in 2014 . "

Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi left the interrogation room and let another batch of interrogators grill him . After leaving, Lin Dongxue glanced back at the surveillance monitor and said, "Look at his proud and arrogant face when he speaks! He’s an animal!”

"That’s an apt description . In order to attain his desires, he’ll do anything to get by . He’s no different from an animal . "

Lin Dongxue was disgusted when she saw this fat man, but she wasn’t disgusted for long . They transferred him to a detention center to wait for the legal procedures .

Half a month later, Chen Shi went to see Lu Qixing and told him that the real murderer had been arrested . After hearing the truth, Lu Qixing shook his head and sighed . "We can’t do anything since things have come to this . In the end… It was all Zhendong’s fault!”

"I won’t accompany you to analyze who was responsible . I’ll take my leave . "

"Wait a minute . What's the date today?"

"March 15th . "

"Asshole, you did it deliberately, right?! I demanded that the killer needed to be caught in thirty days, but you came to tell me on the thirty-first day!”

"Oh really?" Chen Shi acted surprised, "I was so busy that I forgot . It seems like I really don’t have the luck for side fortunes . Please keep the five million for yourself!”

When Chen Shi left, Old Man Lu threw things angrily behind him . "Nobody puts me in their sights! Is it my fault that I have money?”

Unexpectedly, Old Man Lu's still felt uncomfortable over this matter . The next day, Chen Shi was called in by Lin Qiupu . Chen Shi found that there were a few brand-new police cars in the yard and asked, "The team’s rich now?"

"I also wanted to ask you about this . Why did Old Man Lu suddenly send us police cars? In addition, he asked me to give you this . "

Lin Qiupu took out an envelope with a check for 500,000 yuan and a message saying, "Fake clear high, I won’t let you clear high! You won’t take 5 million, but you need to hold onto this half a million . Otherwise I’ll post all over the news to thank you!”

The last sentence cut into Chen Shi's weak spot and he smiled bitterly . "This is not my sole credit . "

"Hmm? You’re rich!" Lin Qiupu glanced at the letter . "Why didn't I encounter such a good thing? I want someone rich to humiliate me with money too . "

"I’ll do that right now . If you call me ‘senior’, I’ll give this to you . ” Chen Shi patted Lin Qiupu’s face with the check .

"Get lost! When it comes to the word 'senior', there’s only one person in my mind!"

"Are you going to say it or not? It’s 500,000!"

"Shameless goods . . . " As soon as he thought that this paper was a down payment for a house, Lin Qiupu was tempted . "Sen . . . "

"I retract it!" Chen Shi halted him in time . "I was just testing Captain Lin a little bit . It seems that you are a good officer who won’t be defeated by sugar-coated shells!"

Lin Qiupu was so angry that he couldn't speak .

Chen Shi patted him on the shoulder . "Let everyone know that I’ll treat them to dinner at night . "

Lin Qiupu said, "You can save your money . I’ll tell you some good news . My sister has just been promoted to the second rank . ”

1 . A dead pig isn’t scared of boiling water as they can’t feel anything anyway .  

2 . The author of Dream of Red Mansions . The Dream of Red Mansions is believed to be an accurate, real-life depiction of his own life as they bear a lot of similarities . In this, I believe the author is trying to say that if he’s the one writing the story, it would be a lot richer than Cao Xueqin’s, who lived a rich life as well .
