disappearing gold

Chapter 66 The Weapon Holder

The moment he turned around, the door suddenly opened, revealing a young and beautiful face, full of confusion and doubt at the same time.

"Is Li Chang at home?" Lao Sun Liang showed his police ID card, "I came to see him to assist in the investigation of a case."

Zhu Lan also showed his ID from behind, not daring to neglect.

"Police!" Li Yue was startled, but calmed down after a moment, "Oh, my dad? He only has Sundays at home."

Lao Sun said: "Are you his daughter?"

The girl nodded, "Yes, my name is Li Yue."

"Then he should go home after get off work, right? I'll wait for a while. Can I wait for him?"

"But he won't get home until ten o'clock in the evening. Are you sure you want to wait?"

"Can you tell him to come back early without working overtime?" Lao Sun tried to ask.

If we wait until ten o'clock, we will go back to Qingcheng City until midnight.

The girl named Li Yue tried to call.

They waited nervously.

After a while, Li Yue turned around and said, "It's only afternoon now. If my dad doesn't work overtime, he won't get home until eight o'clock."

"It doesn't matter, I'll come find him after eight o'clock."

Turning around and walking out of the alley, the master and apprentice chatted while walking. After finally having some free time, they took the time to go to a restaurant outside for lunch.

It was past meal time, and there were very few people in the restaurant. Lao Sun ordered two freshly fried dishes, one was Zhulan's favorite choy sum, and the other was his own favorite, scrambled eggs with green peppers.

In fact, according to Lao Sun's condition of gastric ulcer, the doctor had already warned her not to eat spicy food. But she loves spicy food and can't stop eating it.

Zhu Lan, who was feasting on the cabbage, looked at the master with some worry, but after all, he was not organized.

After the meal, they casually strolled around a nearby shopping mall.

After finally staying up until eight o'clock in the evening, the master and apprentice appeared in front of the gate of No. 88 Heping Lane on time. After nightfall, lights from houses are everywhere. Lights also lit up in this five-story house, and even the aroma of food wafted out.

Lao Sun immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Dong dong dong!"

The person who opened the door was Li Chang. He looked at the visitor in surprise, and then thought of what happened in the afternoon, "Oh, are you the police?"

The master and apprentice immediately testified.

Li Chang invited people in.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Chang asked: "Li Yue said you are looking for me? What case are you investigating?"

"Criminal case, look, this should be your order to buy a gold switchblade, right?" Lao Sun took out the order slip he got from Xu Yantu'er from his pocket.

Li Chang was shocked, but pretended to be nonchalant on his face, "Yes, there's no problem, right?"

Zhu Lan added, "Don't be nervous. Just answer the question truthfully."

Lao Sun nodded and asked, "Can you show us this knife?"

"Inconvenient!" Li Chang blurted out, then realized that he was rude and immediately changed his words, "No, I meant that the knife was lost a long time ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yueqi came out of the kitchen with the food and said, "Dad, didn't you give the knife away? Why did you say you lost it?"

This girl is so stupid! Lao Sun and Zhu Lan looked at each other, and smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

Lao Sun pretended to be calm and asked: "Oh? To whom?"

Li Chang glared at Li Yue fiercely, "You're too talkative. I was lying to you. How could I have the nerve to say that I lost such a valuable thing?"

Li Yue stuck out her tongue, but was also fooled by her father's words.

"Yes, how could such a valuable thing be thrown away so easily? Mr. Li Chang, have you forgotten?" Seeing that Li Chang was deliberately trying to hide his identity, Lao Sun took a detour and asked.

Unexpectedly, these words immediately made Li Chang angry! He suddenly stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean? That I cheated on you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Lan also became angry and warned coldly: "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise when the investigation turns out that you have deceived the police, you will inevitably be detained."

Li Chang was also shocked when he heard this. Who likes to stay in a detention center when they have nothing to do? He was sitting on the sofa, with his eyes closed, rubbing his hands, and the sweat on his forehead was about to break out. And Li Yue stood nearby, looking at her father inexplicably.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chang said, "I remember that I once gave a golden switchblade to an old friend."

"Who?"

"Song Hui."

After Li Chang finished speaking, his face suddenly turned pale and his whole body was shaking.

Li Yue, who was present, couldn't understand what the change in his expression meant.

Zhu Lan's mind was racing and she was guessing.

Old Sun couldn't figure it out, "Why did you give Song Hui such a valuable thing?"

"Song Hui and I have been in college for four years, and our friendship has already surpassed that of classmates. Giving him the knife was just a small thought on my part."

"This knife is worth a hundred thousand, is it just a little thought?"

Lao Sun asked as he typed the order.

"Quickly -" Zhu Lan asked sharply, but the second half stopped abruptly.

It turned out that Lao Sun held her arm down.

"Did you ask Song Hui to do something?" Lao Sun said coldly.

The cold sweat on Li Chang's forehead finally stayed, and he was trembling all over, "Yes, yes. I wanted to ask him to do something, but then he, he didn't have time to help me."

This result made Lao Sun a little surprised, "Why?"

"After Song...Song Hui was exposed for his corruption, didn't he...didn't he fall off the cliff and die while escaping?" Li Chang gritted his teeth tightly, making a rattling sound.

Li Yue on the side couldn't understand why he was like this. Even if his father bribed Song Hui, Song Hui was defeated. What was his father afraid of?
  This time she asked cautiously: "Dad, are you okay?"

"No, what can happen to me?" As if he suddenly came to his senses, Li Chang forced a smile, deliberately pretending to be okay.

"So, are you giving this knife to Song Hui, or to -?" Lao Sun did not say anything else. Because she wasn't sure, and she wanted to hear it from Li Chang herself.

Li Yue's father shook his head, "Song Hui, of course it is for Song Hui. Since we are asking Song Hui to do something, who else can we give it to?"

"Isn't it right? Have you forgotten?"

Lao Sun remembered the remarks on the order and pretended to say, "Is there anything unique about that knife? Or is it engraved?"

Li Chang stood up immediately, "No, how can there be any engraving?"

Zhu Lan's little mouth was bulging with anger and her eyes were wide open.

But Lao Sun slapped the order on the coffee table fiercely, "Then what is this? What does the remark on it mean? It clearly has the word "Fan" in the remark."

"You are lying, you have something wrong in your mind." Zhu Lan also shouted loudly.

Li Chang seemed to be calmer, scratching the back of his head, "Yeah, why did I forget?"

Everyone was surprised.

Just listen to him continue: "Yes, there is a word, oh, oh, I know Song Hui loves his son, I just do what he wants."

Lao Sun and Zhu Lan looked at each other and suddenly understood.

"So, you admit that you bribed Song Hui?"

Only she vaguely guessed that Song Hui was a huge greedy person. If Li Chang sent such expensive things to Song Hui, he would most likely want to bribe Song Hui.

Li Chang's whole body was shaking like chaff, and he admitted with difficulty with his eyes closed.

The truth finally came out. It turned out that the golden switchblade at the murder scene came from Song Xiaofan himself. Song Xiaofan holds the murder weapon.

There's just one more thing. If Li Chang just bribed Song Hui, does he need to be so scared?
