Chief Li replied calmly: “I want to see what this small-time criminal have to call himself Brother in front of me!”
Feng Yu, Chief Li, and Store Manager Zhao left for the manager’s office.
Wow…… this Brother Hei was bigger and looks stronger than Wen Dongjun. His height should be more than 1.9m.
Chief Li suddenly says: “You are not Brother Hei. Where is your boss?”
Feng Yu and Manager Zhao were confused. This person is not Brother Hei? How come Chief Li knew about this? Have Chief Li met Brother Hei before? It should not be the case. If he had met Brother Hei before, he should have said it earlier.
Da Zhuang was shocked to see Chief Li in his police uniform. Why was the police here? Brother Hei did not say anything about the police. He had only asked Da Zhuang to come and fetch Yingzi back. This Police Officer seems like a high-rank officer.
“I am Brother Hei. Who is the one who called me just now?” Da Zhuang pretended to be calm and asked. But his expressions were unnatural and kept looking at the door. His body language had already betrayed him. He was already thinking of ways to escape.
“You are just a nobody. Stop your pretenses. I can tell from one look! You can’t-fool me! Tell me, where your boss is? Did he send you here to be his scapegoat?” Chief Li asked.
Mind games were the simplest way to make the other party yield. Since Chief Li had come to help Feng Yu, he must put up a show for him.
What’s the use of arresting a nobody? If they must arrest someone, then it must be the boss of the syndicate and all its members. This will be a huge favor.
Luckily, Chief Li still had some capabilities. He was not in this position because of his connections. He had lots of experiences, and if he could not even tell this simple trick, he might as well hang up his uniform.
This person’s size was so big, and how can he mix into the crowd to steal things?
“I don’t know what you are talking about. Where is Yingzi? I am here to fetch her.” Da Zhuang insisted.
Feng Yu took out his mobile phone and dial the number Yingzi gave. A phone rang, and it was from this person.
Da Zhuang took out a mobile phone and showed it to Feng Yu. “I said that I am Brother Hei. Where is she? We have agreed that you will release her once I am here.”
“I am the one who called you just now. You can’t recognize my voice?” Store Manager Zhao suddenly said.
“Of course. But it is not very clear over the phone just now.” Da Zhuang tried his best to remain calm.
Now, everyone knew that this person was not Brother Hei. The sound quality of mobile phones was not very clear, but Store Manager Zhao’s heavily accented mandarin was a vast difference from Feng Yu. Anyone would be able to tell the difference.
“Call your boss. Tell him that if he does not come over, I will put him on the wanted list all over the city.” Chief Li laughed.
This person wants to be the leader of a syndicate with his intelligence? The leader of a thief syndicate must have the skills and must be very smart. If not, he will have no way to tame his followers. This person was too stupid to be the leader. If he were really the leader, no one would want to follow him.
“I am Brother Hei.” Da Zhuang firmly insisted.
“That woman had told us that your leader is not so tall. Even if you all want to get someone to impersonate the leader, you all should get someone that has some resemblance. Both you and your leader size are too different.” Chief Li slowly said.
Yingzi did not say anything. These were all made up by Chief Li. Although he does not know who this Brother Hei was, he could not recall any criminal bosses thatwere over 1.9m tall. Furthermore, this size was too obvious to be a thief. He can’t even squeeze himself through a window.
This was why Chief Li dares to claim that Brother Hei was shorter than this man.
After Chief Li finishes saying, that man’s face changed. “What’s wrong with me coming over? My boss is busy with something else. He sent me as a representative.”
“You cannot represent him. I think you are still able to contact your boss. Call him here. I will speak to him.”
Da Zhuang was hesitating. He was not sure if he should contact Brother Hei. But this person said he will put Brother Hei on the City’s wanted list. That means he must be somebody from the City’s Police department. This person wants to speak to Brother Hei. What if the negotiations fail and he arrests Brother Hei?
“Just tell me what you want, and I will pass the message to Brother Hei.”
“Who do you think you are?! Call him and tell him that I, Li Changshan, is here. Tell him to be here within 10 minutes! If I don’t see him in front of me, he will suffer the consequences!” Chief Li said.
Da Zhuang was scared. He dialed a number on his mobile phone: “Brother Hei, I have reached…… Errr….. I still have not seen Sister Ying…… There is a police officer here, and he says his name is Li Changshan. He wanted you to be here within 10 minutes…… Ok. I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Da Zhuang turned to Chief Li and said: “I have told Brother Hei. He is on his way here. Can you let me see Sister Ying?”
Yingzi was brought into the office, and she was stunned when she saw Da Zhuang. Why was Da Zhuang here? Where’s Brother Hei?
“Seems like Brother Hei dare not to come over. Maybe he is already on the run. Is it worth for you to follow such people?” Chief Li continued with mind games.
Before Yingzi could say anything, Chief Li asked the female officer to bring Yingzi out. Yingzi and Da Zhuang cannot be locked up together. Chief Li still need to make them spill everything out to get the evidence against Brother Hei.
From Yingzi’s expression, Chief Li was sure that the man in the office was not Brother Hei. His instinct was right.
……
Brother Hei hangs up the phone and thought for a while. He then made a phone call. After that call, Brother Hei’s hands were trembling.
Li Changshan was the police chief of a district and also the City’s Police Department deputy chief. This was only stealing from a supermarket. Was there a need for someone of this rank to show up?
Brother Hei regrets asking Yingzi to go to Tai Hua Supermarket. To be targeted by someone like Li Changshan, there will be dire consequences. But after thinking for a while, it was just a small incident of shoplifting. Li Changshan should only reprimand for a while and at most stay in the lockup for a few nights. He will just avoid Tai Hua Supermarket when he was released.
Yes. I must go there with the right attitude and admit my mistakes. There is no point going against him.
……
“Good afternoon, leaders. I am Hei Zhi. Please call me Xiao Hei. This time it is my woman that is at fault. I promise I will teach her a lesson and make sure she will not steal again.” Brother Hei walked into the office and start apologizing.
“Xiao Hei? Tell me your real name!” Chief Li shouts.
“My name is Qian Jing. Because my complexion is darker, people gave me this nickname.” Qian Jing explained.
“Qian Jing? Your parents really know how to name you. From what you said, coming here to steal is all her decision? This has nothing to do with you?” Chief Li sneered.
“I am not aware of this. I have already turned over a new leaf. I am now running a small video lounge.” Qian Jing replied.
Video lounge? Chief Li’s eyes brighten up. This will be easier to convict him!
