Chapter 34: Refrigerator Corpse (Part 4)
Xia Beibei looked at him as if he were a lunatic. Zhou Xun reached into her coat and took out her phone. He unlocked it with her face and swiped on the screen a few times.
Xia Beibei watched him operate and was about to ask him what was wrong with him, but soon, he held up his phone to show her. She looked at the screen and was stunned for a long time.
There is a photo of her on the screen, a photo of her sleeping on Gao Bochuan's legs. It should have been taken on the way here. Wait! This is her cell phone!
Xia Beibei took the phone and when she returned, she found that it was her WeChat Moments, a post from a man whom she labeled "Big Devil".
The big devil she noted was Gao Bochuan, so this was a status posted by Gao Bochuan, with no text, only a picture.
What a strange thing! Gao Bochuan actually posted an update. His circle of friends was basically in a zombie state, only occasionally forwarding a few academic articles. Now, he actually posted her photo!
In the photo, her hand is still holding Gao Bochuan's hand. What does this mean?
Xia Beibei felt herself to be very strange. She was surprisingly excited and happy. Suddenly she remembered something, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Xun with sparkling eyes.
"Zhou Xun, pick an auspicious day to dump me, so that I can agree to Gao Bochuan, otherwise those people in the bureau will think I'm two-timing"
Zhou Xun paused while wiping the corner of her mouth with a tissue, his eyes darkened, "Are you in love with Gao Bochuan?"
Xia Beibei smiled and said, "I don't know, but I didn't feel disgusted when he kissed me, so I guess I like him."
Zhou Xun's face darkened even more. He moved the tissue in his hand to her mouth and wiped it vigorously. "Did he kiss you?"
Xia Beibei cried out in pain, grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand off, staring at him in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? It hurts!"
Zhou Xun snorted coldly, "You deserve it. Who told you to play both sides?"
Xia Beibei was speechless. "It was you who insisted on me helping you avoid romantic relationships, and that’s how we established a superficial boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Now that I finally have a romantic relationship, you can’t cut it off for me, my dear cousin."
After Xia Beibei drank the brown sugar water in the thermos, her stomach felt warm and her complexion looked much better, though still a little pale. Zhou Xun not only brought her brown sugar water, but also a schoolbag filled with things she urgently needed.
She came over and smacked him on the face, "Okay, go back now, we're still busy here, thank you."
She patted Zhou Xun's shoulder and prepared to get off the car, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Zhou Xun looked at her pale face and sighed slowly.
"Gao Bochuan is not a pushover, just leave the matter to him. You are not feeling well, so don't go. It won't be a problem without you. I will take you back."
Xia Beibei pulled his hand away and said, "I'm fine. It's just menstrual cramps. It won't kill you. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Zhou Xun looked at her thin back, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, then picked up the empty thermos cup beside her and stared blankly.
When the cigarette ash fell and burned his hand, he finally came to his senses, put down the thermos, threw away the cigarette butt, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"She's not feeling well today, don't bother her, let's get this over with quickly."
Fu Wei's death actually had a great impact on Xia Beibei. Not only was she sad, but she was also confused and doubtful, because Gao Bochuan told her that Fu Wei might not be a good person, and the extermination of the Xia family might be related to him.
So she has been following since the body parts were found, but it is almost eight o'clock and not only has the case been solved, but even the head has not been found. She is very anxious.
Zhou Xun didn't leave. When she came back, a small table had been set up next to the car, with hot porridge and buns on it. Xia Beibei didn't have much appetite and only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. Zhou Xun took a hot pack from the car to warm her stomach.
"What are you looking for? Why are you going through so much trouble? You haven't even eaten for so long. Can Gao Bochuan do it? How can he be the captain if he's so stupid? I'll ask my dad to fire him later."
Xia Beibei glared at him, feeling annoyed, and stepped on him, "How dare you!"
After saying that, she ignored him and took out her cell phone to call Gao Bochuan to ask him to come down for dinner. Before she could dial the number, she saw Gao Bochuan running towards her with a group of people.
Gao Bochuan glanced at Zhou Xun, then took Xia Beibei's hand and walked towards the police car in front. Before leaving, Xia Beibei did not forget to take the two baskets of buns on the table.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
After getting in the car, Shen Yunfei stepped on the accelerator and drove away. Xia Beibei handed a bun to Gao Bochuan and looked at him suspiciously. Gao Bochuan leaned over her hand and took a bite of the bun. Shen Yunfei explained:
"Lin Qi was in Zhang Tao's hotel with a bomb tied to her body and the head was tied to her."
"ah!"
Xia Beibei screamed and the two baskets of buns in her arms almost fell to the ground. Seeing Shen Yunfei staring at the buns, she picked up a basket and placed it on the passenger seat.
Shen Yunfei looked at her gratefully. He had been busy since morning and hadn't eaten anything. He was really hungry. After swallowing two buns, Shen Yunfei said:
"Zhang Tao called and said he heard someone shouting for help in Fu Wei's room, so he ran up to see what was going on. He found a woman tied to a stool with a bomb tied to her arms, and Fu Wei's head."
"The person tied up was Lin Qi. Lin Qi said she was there when she woke up. She said that before she fainted, a man told her that Yang Lin was in the neighboring town of Guanzhuang and that he also had a bomb on him. If you want Yang Lin to survive, send Huang Can to the mountain we are searching today."
Xia Beibei was stunned for a moment. "On the mountain? Is Sun going to rescue people there? Are they so confident? I thought they would go to a crowded supermarket or street. They are so brazen, aren't they afraid that the police will catch them in their trap?"
Shen Yunfei nodded in agreement: "I find it strange too."
Xia Beibei looked back at Gao Bochuan, who pointed at the buns. She quickly picked one up and fed it to him. Gao Bochuan took a bite of the bun and looked up at her.
"First, Zhang Tao's hotel is in the town, surrounded by residents. If the bomb on Lin Qi explodes, the consequences will be disastrous, so we need a large number of police forces to evacuate the crowd."
"Second, Yang Lin is in the next town. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, we must send people over. It will also require a large police force. The nearby police forces have come to help. We must rush over now."
Having said that, he held Xia Beibei's hand and looked at the watch on her wrist with a serious expression.
"Third, it's already 7:30. We only have half an hour. We don't have enough time to deploy or mobilize more police. Although the mountain is not big, there is a river at the foot of the mountain. It's not that easy to trap them. What's more, the Sun Organization is different from ordinary kidnappers. They dared to go up the mountain, so they must have planned it carefully."
"Fourth, we don't have many people here, and we are mostly using the local police force. If the Sun gang can tie bombs to Lin Qi and Yang Lin, they can throw a few bombs on the mountain. It's not worth it to implicate so many people for Huang Can. Therefore, it's not wise to risk a siege."
Xia Beibei fed him the last bun and handed him a bottle of water.
"That's right. Sun should have thought of all this, so he went to the mountain to rescue people in such a swagger. But, the mountain was in the photo he sent you, and now he mentioned the mountain again. The snakeskin bag was also found near the mountain. I always find it very strange. Is there any secret on that mountain?"
Gao Bochuan said: "I also find it strange, so we may have to stay a few more days."
