I always felt that something was off. The Fatty beside me also clicked his tongue in wonder.
"This can be regarded as a strange case. When the police come here later, it'll really be hard for us to explain."
I stared at the Fatty. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. Although Old Xiao was a stick - in - the - mud, the only good thing was that he had installed cameras.
The Fatty and I exchanged a look and quickly ran to the camera. However, we found that the camera had already been brutally twisted off.
The cameras outside were not damaged, but those inside were in a miserable state.
I rubbed my arm and turned to look at the person behind me. Sure enough, the man behind me kept shaking his head at me, looking rather intrigued.
I found the Fatty's behavior even more strange. This guy must be hiding something from me.
The Fatty didn't notice that I had realized his oddness. He was still fiddling with the blood - stained knife there.
About ten minutes later, the sound of a police car rang out. The leading officer was a young one.
The officer came in, stared at us, and frowned with an air of not wanting things to be peaceful.
"What's going on? What trouble have you got into again, kid?"
Officer Chen and I were old acquaintances. Although we hadn't met many times before, I always felt that something was off.
Officer Chen looked around. Suddenly, his movement froze. "What's that?"
His gaze fixed directly on the thing on the ground, and his expression changed slightly.
I didn't say a word and looked at the Fatty. The Fatty told him what had happened before.
"You mean that after you answered the phone and went in, the person on the phone didn't say a word?"
After hearing our words, Officer Chen's expression was a bit stiff at first, and then he immediately showed a smile. "It's quite interesting. Since that's the case, let's have a good play."
Officer Chen strode to the telephone and winked at his subordinate beside him. Sure enough, the phone number was traced.
When Officer Chen heard the phone number, his expression immediately became a bit stiff. "It's a call from Yunnan."
A call from Yunnan? I froze immediately when I heard this. How could this be?
Officer Chen didn't say a word and rubbed his arm. Only then did I notice that this young and promising officer in this area had somehow been injured.
Probably my gaze was too obvious. Officer Chen shrugged indifferently. "Here."
He handed something to me with a meaningful look on his face. "I hope you can seize this opportunity well."
I didn't quite understand what Officer Chen meant, but the next second I immediately understood something.
"Wait a minute." I raised my hands and couldn't help but speak.
"Don't tell me it really means what I think it does?"
I stared into Officer Chen's eyes and said carefully, "I always feel that something is off."
Officer Chen pulled me aside, ignoring the Fatty's angry gaze, and handed me a file.
I opened the file. After reading the contents, I felt really bad.
Officer Chen was right. This matter was very strange, extremely strange, incredibly strange.
"What's going on?"
I stared into Officer Chen's eyes, and he explained something to me at the same time.
"Within the past week, this kind of thing has happened more than once in this small town. The way of death is the same as that of Boss Xiao. You know that this antique street has always been selling some things, and the police generally can't investigate here. But after this incident, people around here are in a panic."
It was obviously strange. I had great faith in the efficiency of the police, but now it seemed rather interesting.
I rubbed my head and looked around. There were some young police officers there.
I stared into the officer's eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Instead of saying anything, the officer took back the information into his own hands. "I need you to help me investigate who did all these things."
"You've got to be kidding me. You want us to help you investigate? You must have come to the wrong place, right? This is your job as a police officer. Are you joking?"
The guy beside me couldn't help but come over. I glanced at him and didn't say a word.
The Fatty was right. This matter was really not something we could handle. Although I was forced to join my second uncle's business, I didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing either.
"Do you think I'm deliberately shifting this matter to you?"
Officer Chen finally couldn't hold it in anymore and directly threw a bunch of photos in front of me. "These are the surveillance videos from the previous crime scenes. They weren't destroyed. Take a look for yourself."
Ten minutes later, I was sitting by the road with the phone Officer Chen gave me, looking at it with a strange expression.
It turned out that at every place where a corpse appeared, there had been a figure I was very familiar with. It was none other than A Jin.
That guy who just looked so pitiful and asked me to find out the real secret, the guy who should have been in the hospital for treatment, actually appeared at the crime scene.
"That's not right. Since the suspect is A Jin, why don't you just go find A Jin?"
The Fatty was also looking at this. This guy was always very sharp and naturally noticed this huge flaw right away.
"A Jin's arm is gone and he's still in the hospital for treatment. What kind of hero are you being by blocking us here?"
The Fatty was merciless, and so was Officer Chen.
"Do you think I want to block you here? I originally planned to play the long - game. We've been keeping a close eye on A Jin. But you two just let the guy go."
The guy rolled his eyes and stared at me and the Fatty, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
The Fatty and I exchanged a helpless look and didn't say a word.
Actually, it was true. If it weren't for us, maybe this matter wouldn't have been so hard to solve.
If A Jin had already been targeted by the police, then the arrival of the Fatty and me was his best chance to get away.
But what on earth could make a young man kill these people so brutally and even sacrifice one of his own arms?
"The so - called arm that was supposed to be stitched up in the hospital has already gone missing, and your second uncle's shop is also closed now."
Officer Chen's words made me involuntarily open my mouth wide. "What's going on?"
I looked at Officer Chen in disbelief. "You mean my second uncle's shop is closed?"
My second uncle was one of the important figures in our family business. If his shop was closed, what could we do? The loss of money would be no small amount.
Probably my greedy expression was a bit too obvious. Officer Chen shook his head. "It has been taken over by another person in your family. I can't interfere in the Chen family's affairs, but this matter must not be tolerated."
