WWY Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Someone Wants to Kill You, Concern Leads to Chaos…

After graduating from vocational school last year, Lin Hua relied on his father’s connections to get a job as a repairman at Gu’s Trading.

He’s a shy person, not even used to speaking loudly.

Tuxi Ling could understand the stark contrast in confidence displayed in his photos: not needing to care about any external factors in reality, such as education, family background, or physical appearance; hiding one’s true self under thick makeup. Once they put on their cosplay outfits, they become the characters themselves, the flawless individuals created by the author.

This is why many people enjoy cosplay.

Right now, Lin Hua was staring at his fingers, slowly answering Shengbo Xia’s questions, so slow that, in his words, you couldn’t squeeze a fart out of him with a stick.

When Tuxi Ling came in, Shengbo Xia shrugged at him, indicating that he hadn’t gotten anything out of him.

Tuxi Ling patted him on the back and told him to make room.

He sat down without saying anything, just quietly scrutinizing Lin Hua. After a few minutes, Lin Hua slowly became nervous, raised his eyelids slightly, and moved his butt back.

Tuxi Ling smiled. “Lin Hua, you really like Queen Natasha?”

Lin Hua looked at him blankly. “Huh? Yes… Why?”

“It’s nothing. When I checked your dad’s phone just now, I saw the pictures you posted on WeChat this morning.” Tuxi Ling praised him, “Very beautiful, especially suited to you.”

Lin Hua smiled shyly, his eyes shining. “Do you like her too?”

Tuxi Ling used the knowledge he’d just gained from flipping through his phone to try and get closer to him: “I like her, I especially like the War Angel set, and I also like the Diamond and Twilight Assassin sets.”

“Right, the Diamond one is too flashy! But my friend did it first, so I didn’t do it that day!”

“So awesome? Do you have photos? Let me see!”

“Yes!” Lin Hua took out his phone, flipped to his album, and showed him. “Look, this is the Diamond set. They might not have left yet. I was called back temporarily, otherwise, after this is over, want to go to the site together? This time it’s really grand!”

Tuxi Ling smiled and nodded: “Sure.”

Shengbo Xia and Wu Li’s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. They couldn’t believe that their nearly thirty-year-old Ling team knew about these kids’ things.

Tuxi Ling asked: “Is this Diamond set of his very expensive?”

Speaking of this, Lin Hua became active as if he was a different person, with a face full of envy: “Sixty thousand! It’s said that part of the crown is made of real diamonds, very collectible!”

Tuxi Ling was also intrigued by him: “Sixty thousand? So expensive? How much is your set then? Queen Natasha’s sets don’t seem cheap either?”

“It’s different, it still depends on the quality and detail.” Lin Hua was a little proud. “My set is thirty thousand, not bad either!”

Tuxi Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression suddenly became serious: “Where did you get the money to buy such expensive clothes?”

Lin Hua was stunned, his eyes darting around: “I, I saved up!”

This reaction immediately confirmed Tuxi Ling’s guess. He turned his head and said to the two people who were suddenly dumbfounded: “Go, check his account, WeChat, Alipay!”

Lin Hua suddenly jumped up: “What are you doing? Why? I’m spending my own money, what’s it to you!”

“If you’re spending your own legitimately earned money, of course, it’s none of our business, but if you’re spending black money given by criminals, then it’s a big deal!” Having seen the clues, Shengbo Xia threatened, “The other party is suspected of the crimes of explosion, intentional injury, and endangering public safety by dangerous means. If you don’t tell the truth, then you’re an accomplice, oh, with an extra charge of harboring a criminal!”

Lin Hua’s hands twisted together, and he considered for a long time with his head lowered: “Then, then what now?”

Wu Li played the “good cop”: “Now you’re at most an accessory, incited to commit a crime, and you can get a lighter or reduced sentence. If you actively cooperate with the police to catch the suspect, then it counts as a major meritorious service, and maybe you can be exempt from criminal punishment depending on the circumstances.”

“Explosion is a serious crime, think carefully!” Shengbo Xia slammed the table. “Speak, did you take money to do something!”

The table made a “thump” sound, and the inexperienced Lin Hua was directly frightened into tears.

Tuxi Ling sighed, handed him two tissues, and turned to the corridor to inform Lin Sanshi to wait a little longer.

Lin Hua had been thinking about this comic convention for a long time and hadn’t decided what cosplay to do. He recently felt that Queen Natasha’s War Angel set was very suitable for him, but the cheap ones didn’t look good, and the expensive ones he couldn’t afford.

Especially after his friend spent sixty thousand to buy the Diamond set, he was jealous and envious. He had complained to his friends on WeChat many times that his parents were stingy, but there was no way around it. Thirty thousand yuan was not a small amount for a family like his, let alone to buy this kind of “useless” thing.

He was originally thinking of giving up, but yesterday morning, when he was strolling near the comic convention venue with his friends, he suddenly met a cosplayer dressed as a Little Astronaut who said he could give him a Queen War Angel set, but he needed his help to do something.

He said that he was a competitor of Gu’s, and heard that Ya Gu had an appointment with reporters, and wanted to see what secrets Ya Gu was going to tell the reporters, so he wanted him to install the listening device he provided in a corner of the room where it wouldn’t be discovered.

This was just a small matter for Lin Hua, putting a listening device in exchange for a thirty thousand yuan outfit, the thing he dreamed of.

Originally, he still had a bit of caution, saying he didn’t believe it. When that person really took out the Queen War Angel set from the suitcase, he finally couldn’t resist the temptation and compromised.

So, taking advantage of the air conditioning cleaning opportunity, he put the “listening device” on the ceiling, and in the afternoon went to the old place, and indeed found that person and took away the War Angel set.

Lin Hua cried, snot and tears streaming down his face: “I didn’t expect it either, how could the listening device explode?”

Shengbo Xia had a toothache expression: “What listening device? That’s a bomb, bro! A genuine bomb!”

Lin Hua’s tears stopped immediately: “Ah?”

Wu Li was also speechless: “You were set up, he deliberately approached you.”

Lin Hua was at a loss, “He, why?”

“To kill people, he wants to kill your Vice President Gu! He knows that you are an employee of Gu’s and can access that meeting room, that’s why he approached you!” Wu Li shook her head, “Regarding that person’s physical characteristics, can you provide anything?”

Hearing that the other party was aiming to kill people, Lin Hua was almost paralyzed with fright, and stuttered as he recalled: “He, he was wearing an astronaut suit, if he wasn’t wearing lifts, he was about one meter ninety tall…”

The number one meter ninety seemed to trigger a sensitive point, Shengbo Xia and Wu Li exchanged glances, both a little nervous.

“Did you see his face?”

“No, he was wearing an astronaut helmet, that helmet could only see the area around the eyes, and the mask was gray and not very clear.”

“What did his eyes look like?”

“Single eyelids, with very obvious eye bags, it seems, like a foreigner’s, a bit sunken eyes, but not very obvious.”

Tuxi Ling, who was standing by the wall eavesdropping, stopped breathing for a moment, and took out the surveillance photo of the suspect in the Man Qin case from his phone: “Take a look, is it this one?”

Lin Hua exclaimed: “It looks like it! I feel like it’s him, right?”

It’s this bastard again?

The suspect had been wearing a hat and mask, only exposing a pair of eyes. Indeed, after Lin Hua said this, all three felt that this person’s eyes looked very much like a foreigner’s.

Considering the overseas gambling platform, it was not difficult to understand.

If that’s the case, then his target today was not Ya Gu at all, but Lan He!

The interrogation wasn’t over yet, but Tuxi Ling couldn’t help but rush out of the criminal investigation team’s door, looked in the direction of the Eastern Suburbs through the vast night, found a secluded place, and dialed Lan He’s phone number.

It was already almost midnight, and he thought he was asleep, but he answered very quickly.

“Police Officer Ling?”

“Lan He, someone may want to kill you.” As soon as the words came out, Tuxi Ling regretted it a little.

Concern leads to chaos. There was no progress in the case, and telling him this would only increase the pressure, right?

Sure enough, the other side paused for a long time, and slowly asked: “Ah? Who is it?”

“Sorry, it’s just my personal suspicion, actually. What I mean is, I suggest you apply to our police for witness protection, and we will protect your safety.”

“Witness? What kind of witness am I?”

“You provided strong evidence of Man Qin’s crime, so of course you can be considered a witness.”

“I see, that’s right, what’s wrong, Police Officer Ling, is there some kind of change? Have you found a clue to the bombing?”

“There’s been a slight breakthrough, but the situation looks unfavorable to you. I think we should be cautious.”

“What? Was today’s bombing aimed at me?”

“Can’t be completely sure, can only say…”

The confidentiality rules made him shut his mouth.

He could imagine Lan He smiling on the other side, but his voice was not only not nervous, but seemed very happy: “Police Officer Ling, I have bodyguards, so I won’t bother you. Isn’t your police force very strained? You should focus on solving the case, thanks!”

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.

Tuxi Ling put down his phone, looking at the screen that was gradually darkening in a daze.

That suspect, the last time he cut the Hetian’s natural gas pipeline, besides disrupting the police’s sight, was it also to kill Lan He?

He’s really persistent!

–

Lan He put away his smile, threw the phone on the soft quilt, and looked coldly at the uninvited guest in the chair.

In the bright yellow light of the bedroom, his smooth cheeks reflected a lustrous glow. His eyes flowed with brilliance when he smiled. He Si’nian secretly sized him up for a while while he was on the phone, and quickly found himself in the indifferent gaze that he looked over.

“Brother…”

“Aren’t you leaving yet?”

“I’m worried about you! It was so dangerous today, why did you secretly go to meet that woman!”

“That woman?” Lan He was very strange, “Ya Gu is my legal wife, what are you objecting to?”

He Si’nian’s eyes were straight, seeming a little collapsed: “You’re not serious, right? Brother, before, you…”

“Before was before, now is now. I can see that Ya Gu is really worried about me. What’s wrong with me cultivating feelings with her?”

He Si’nian dragged the chair forward, his voice trembling: “Brother, is it because of Dad’s inheritance? I’ve said it, I don’t want that money, the foundation doesn’t want it either, it’s all yours! You don’t need to have a child with that woman, your body can’t have children at all!”

After saying that, he seemed to feel that his words were too hurtful and wanted to say a few nice words, but Lan He smiled: “It’s okay, Ya Gu said we can do IVF.”

His face was filled with happiness that was deliberately disgusting.

He Si’nian stood up with a “thump” and grabbed his collar: “No, that woman is not a good thing, you…”

Looking down, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say because he saw Lan He’s neck.

“Brother, what happened to you!”
