“I need to talk to both him and you.” Xiao Cheng was very straightforward.
Um… An Xiaxia scratched her head and asked, “What do you need to talk to us about?”
Just then, Sheng Yize arrived. Xiao Cheng teased him with a smile, “Mr. Sheng, your wife is so much gentler than you.”
Sheng Yize darted her an indifferent look and frowned, apparently unable to recall her name.
“Sigh. You great men and your short memories. I’m Xiao Cheng and I used to be your excuse for turning down all those girls. You don’t even remember my name? Really?” Xiao Cheng apparently knew him very well.
“It’s you.” Sheng Yize recognized her now. “What do you need to talk to us about?”
Xiao Cheng was a little surprised. The couple had asked the same question without talking to each other.
“I’m here about the murder of Song Shi.” Xiao Cheng straightened her face and showed them her credentials. “We’d appreciate if Mr. and Mrs. Sheng can cooperate with our investigation.”
An Xiaxia suddenly saw the light — Xiao Cheng was here on a case, but An Xiaxia had taken her to be a love rival.
Xiao Cheng took their statements and she frowned the entire time. It seemed to be a very difficult case.
“When was the last time you saw him? Did something seem strange in any way?” asked Xiao Cheng.
An Xiaxia tried her best to remember. “The last time I saw him was that morning… Li Fanxing and Li Canxing were quarreling next door and he was grinning. It all seemed so normal.”
Xiao Cheng knew about the love triangle among the three and got straight to the point. “Grinning? His fiancee was quarreling with his girlfriend and the two women are sisters. He didn’t look stressed or anxious, but was smiling?”
An Xiaxia and Sheng Yize exchanged looks, then nodded together.
They hadn’t thought much of it back then, but now that Xiao Cheng mentioned it, it did feel strange.
Song Shi’s murder case might not be that straightforward.
“I see.” Xiao Cheng scribbled something in her notebook, then looked up. “Mrs. Sheng, I will need your assistance tomorrow.”
“Sure,” replied An Xiaxia good-naturedly.
Xiao Cheng then rose to her feet. She wore a shirt and a pair of shorts, showing off her great body. Before she left, she blew Sheng Yize a kiss.
“Ex-boyfriend, we should get together more often. One reminder: indulging in sensual pleasures too much is bad for your kidneys. So go easy on yourself~”
Sheng Yize’s face turned grim and An Xiaxia was flabbergasted.
“Are you still going to tell me that there was nothing between the two of you?”
Sheng Yize smacked his forehead. “I really am innocent in this.”
“Hmph!”
“Jealous?” Sheng Yize smiled and remained composed.
“Why should I be? She’s that rumored girlfriend you talked about, isn’t she?” An Xiaxia asked in a sarcastic voice. “She has a great body and is very pretty, and she’s a police officer. You two will make such a cute couple…”
“You do have a point there.” Sheng Yize acted as if he was seriously considering it.
An Xiaxia gritted her teeth. “I knew it… you – hm…”
Sheng Yize bent down and shut her up with a kiss while he pulled her collar up a little with one free hand.
An Xiaxia looked down and blushed.
Her chest, collarbones, and neck… were all covered in pink marks. No wonder Xiao Cheng told Sheng Yize to restrain himself!
–
The next day.
The hotel.
An Xiaxia arrived on time and found Xiao Cheng waiting there.
Soon, the Li sisters arrived, both looking annoyed. Li Canxing snapped, “Officer, what right do you have to demand our time? Can’t it wait until after we get back home?”
Xiao Cheng smiled confidently. “I’m sorry, but everyone here is a suspect in the murder of Song Shi!”
