I nodded in deep agreement. "Indeed, this is a society ruled by law. Naturally, we should follow the arrangements of the law. So what do you need me to cooperate with?"
"What exactly did A Jin say to you?"
My expression was a bit tangled. I wasn't sure if I should tell Officer Chen. But when I met his honest eyes, I immediately understood.
I handed the things in my hand to Officer Chen. Looking into his eyes without saying a word, I sighed at the same time. "Actually, there's a reason for what I'm saying to you. Let me put it this way. This matter is not easy."
I put down the water cup in my hand, looked around, and suddenly said, "Don't you think there are too many people around?"
Officer Chen sent away several people around. After a long, long time, he stared into my eyes and said, "Go to Yunnan."
I stared at him with wide eyes. Officer Chen sighed. "Don't forget, my surname is also Chen. If I have to say something, maybe we're distant relatives."
Officer Chen's words made me feel a bit funny. "Okay, even if that's the case, but what do you think we should do to help you?"
"I'll go there with you."
"Wait a minute."
I stared into Officer Chen's eyes and asked tentatively, "Why do you want to go with us?"
Officer Chen gave a slight bitter smile. "To be honest, part of it is due to my own selfishness. Because the person who died was my good brother, and I want to know who killed him. The other part is because of my duty."
"Is it really that simple? There's no need for you to follow us specifically, right? And if the police want to investigate, you can just decide on your own."
Fatty sneered coldly beside me. Officer Chen didn't say a word, with a hint of entanglement in his eyes.
Seeing his embarrassed look, I thought of the girl Fatty had mentioned before.
Wait, how was Hualian'er? I grabbed Fatty over. Fatty knew what I was up to as soon as he saw me and shook his head desperately.
"I said you're really unkind. How can you do this? You know who Hualian is. Anyway, you can't do this."
I rolled my eyes at Fatty and understood what this guy meant. It turned out that this guy didn't intend to solve this matter for me.
But it didn't really matter. I frowned, looked at the things around, and realized something.
I looked at Officer Chen. "Do you know who Hualian'er is?"
Officer Chen shook his head. "I don't know."
I told him, "Hualian'er is naturally the little girl who's going with us this time. You should know the Floating Master, right? Although she's from an outside family, she's also the Floating Master's apprentice."
Anyway, Officer Chen's surname was indeed Chen. He wasn't wrong in what he said just now. If we had to calculate by seniority, there was still some relation between us.
So the question came. I stared into Officer Chen's eyes and asked tentatively, "Do you know her?"
Officer Chen awkwardly shifted his gaze. Wait, what was going on?
He not only knew the Floating Master, but I also felt that he seemed to know Hualian'er quite well. Officer Chen avoided my eyes and didn't say a word.
It seemed quite interesting.
"Wait, am I right? You were just avoiding the question, weren't you? To be honest, what's your relationship? Do you have an affair?"
Fatty sneaked over with a lecherous look, staring into Officer Chen's handsome eyes with a malicious look.
I rolled my eyes at Fatty. Fatty didn't care and even giggled. He was almost writing the word "lewd" on his face.
Officer Chen looked at him helplessly and said a few words, "Why did you invite that woman? Don't you know how much this little girl's appearance fee is?"
"Fatty here managed to invite her for free, and it can even offset a part of the debt. If I don't invite her, should I invite you?"
Fatty's words were completely merciless, but in a certain sense, they made sense.
Officer Chen's face beside us became even uglier, and for a moment, a strange look that all men could understand flashed across his face.
The feeling in my heart became even more acute. "Could it be that there's really something between you two before?"
Officer Chen rubbed his chin. "It's okay. It's not a big problem."
I rolled my eyes at this guy. I was really convinced. Why couldn't he just say it directly if there was something?
Anyway, regardless of whether Fatty was willing or not, our strange trio directly headed towards Hualian'er's residence.
We went to the police station to handle some police-related matters and then directly got in the car and left.
Officer Chen was sitting with his legs crossed beside me, looking much more relaxed than when we first met.
"That thing just now was quite complicated. Can it really just end like this?"
Officer Chen sighed helplessly. "After all, that person was doing a legitimate business and died quite miserably. But you're not the suspects. Do you want me to detain you for a few days besides taking your statements?"
"I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I be detained?"
Fatty's temper was not giving in at all. I didn't say a word. Staring into Officer Chen's eyes, I asked, "Do you really think this matter can just end like this?"
We told Officer Chen every single detail about Yan Yan's matter. Although I was really sorry, I had to tell him about Yan Yan.
But looking at Officer Chen's attitude, it seemed that he wasn't thinking right. I couldn't help but suspect that this guy was just pretending to be stupid with me.
Officer Chen didn't care about my words. He just sat with his legs crossed, staring into my eyes with a half - smile.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and repeated in a half - understanding tone, "What's the use? Anyway, you'll know later."
Whether I wanted it or not, some things were bound to happen.
I really didn't quite understand what was going on, but I could clearly recognize one thing. This Officer Chen was not as simple as he seemed.
If I had to describe it, he even gave me a feeling like my second uncle. This feeling was not good at all.
Officer Chen glanced at me and curled up a smile. "Come on, don't look at me so strangely. I never thought you should trust me. But could you do me a favor and help me block her when that woman comes later?"
He curled up a bitter smile. "I have some old grudges with her."
Just as I was about to ask what exactly was going on between them, an arrogant female voice suddenly rang out.
"You still have the nerve to come?"
The woman strode over.
