Chapter 19
Zhang Lisheng walked around Fuqian Road twice . He thought to himself and figured that the only thing he could do was to find a kind person and ask him or her where the Qingxian Bus Station was .
He would look for a bus that went to Damu Town, and once he arrived at the bus station, he would kindly request if the bus driver could send him to Damu Town without paying first and that he would transfer him the bus fee some other day .
After making up his mind, Zhang Lisheng happened to see a plump middle-aged woman who had a friendly face walking toward him . He immediately stopped her and asked, "Aunty, may I know how do I get to the Qingxian Bus Station?"
"The bus station has moved to Qua Village, it's very far away .
"Why don't you cross the road and take bus number five to get to Station 6, or you can get someone to bring you there on a bike . You can get there with four yuan . "
"Aunty, I-I'm asking how do I walk to the bus station . "
The middle-aged woman was stunned . She looked at the young man before her with a tanned, rosy face and asked, "What's wrong? You only have enough money for the bus?"
Zhang Lisheng held his head low and nodded .
"Are you a little con man?"
"Of-f course not . "
"Aunty, uhh, if you don't know the place then I'll just ask someone else . I'll ask someone else . " Zhang Lisheng's face flushed red and he wanted to walk away immediately .
"Don't go . " The middle-aged woman pulled Zhang Lisheng and took out ten yuan from her pocket . "I see that you seem to be a kind kid, you don't look like the damn kind who would deceive . "
"Take this ten yuan, buy yourself two meat pies and get on the bus after you eat . "
Zhang Lisheng refused immediately, "No, aunty, how can I take your money? I just wanted to ask for directions…"
"Don't talk anymore . Go home now, don't let your mother and father worry about you . Go home now . " The middle-aged woman insisted . She shoved the ten yuan into Zhang Lisheng's pocket and walked away quickly .
"Aunty, where do you live? Tomorrow, I'll bring the money to you tomorrow . " Zhang Lisheng slotted the ten yuan into his pocket and shouted loudly behind the plump woman with gratitude .
The woman ignored him and walked far away .
With the ten yuan, Zhang Lisheng had solved the difficult situation that he was in . He presumed that the bus fare from Qu County to Damu Town would be five or six yuan at most . He planned to follow what the kind aunty told him, which was to get someone to bring him to the bus station on a bike, then he would take the bus home .
Just as Zhang Lisheng was about to hail a vehicle as he stood by the curb, a police car sped toward him and abruptly came to a stop directly in front of him .
The driver seat window slowly wound down, and Zhang Lisheng came face to face with the driver of the police car, Yang Zhengqi, who looked exhausted .
He stared at Zhang Lisheng with his bloodshot eyes for a moment and spoke in a deep voice, "Get in, I'll send you home . "
From the moment he saw Yang Zhengqi, Zhang Lisheng's demeanor changed from being sentimental to being calm . He thought about it then walked around the police car, opened the door, and got into the passenger seat .
The police car began to move and they drove toward Guawo Village .
The both of them did not speak as they drove through the Qu County Town's streets . It was only until the police car drove out of the city and onto a winding road did Yang Zhengqi speak, "After spending the entire day with you yesterday, I've only just gotten to know the identities of the four people that you killed . "
Zhang Lisheng remained silent .
Yang Zhengqi continued, "The one who died at the entrance was Song Lisheng, he's from Guangzhou, Eastern Guangdong Province, and is an artifact smuggler as well as a grave-robber . He's been caught a couple of times but was released due to insufficient evidence .
"There's nothing much about him when you talk about it, but his eldest and second brother…"
"Chief Yang, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Among the four people that you killed, three of them were not criminals that carried out the robbery in the spur of the moment . They were professional criminals, one of them was even a retired commander from a special force investigation company . This has forced me to increase your risk level by a few degrees .
"The last person was He Qingmiao . He came from the same village as you . According to the records of questions with the villagers, he was the one who brought you to the county hospital when the accident happened to your father a week ago…"
"You guys even asked about such a thing?" Zhang Lisheng smiled although he was baffled .
"Of course we need to ask that, it's also a clue that could solve the case . "
"He Qingmiao's reason of death was a poison attack, but his internal and external injuries were very serious too . The forensic report said he would have gone through many unnecessary suffering before he died if he had not experienced the poison attack . "
"Also, he was the one who kneeled when he died . He was begging for mercy, am I right?"
Zhang Lisheng could not tolerate him beating around the bush, so he asked again, "Chief Yang, what exactly ARE you trying to say?"
