Zhong Kui's Diary
“Gou Feng?” Praise aside, I still had to ask.
“Who are you?” Gou Feng slowly got up, sitting on the ground and wiping away a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Right now, we are asking you. Of course, you can stand up and challenge us. If you defeat both of us, then you can ask us who we are,” Sima Sanguang said with a grin.
“No need.” Gou Feng shook his head, his eyes flickering: “I’m not your match right now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future. Either you kill me now, or I’ll kill you later.”
I laughed heartily and shook my head: “Stop pretending. Do you think we won’t fight you just because we appreciate you?”
It seemed I had seen through his thoughts, and a disgruntled expression appeared on Gou Feng’s face: “Don’t underestimate the young and poor!”
Sima Sanguang frowned and rushed forward, slapping Gou Feng twice: “You idiot, have you watched too much online stuff? I have a pet peeve about that phrase; the more you say it, the more I want to bully you. What’s wrong with that? You poor fool!”
Gou Feng was stunned by the two slaps, dazed for a while before suddenly bursting into tears: “Big brother, I’m sorry! I just have a habit of showing off. I thought this would help me avoid some pain, but it turns out your slaps hurt even more.”
Exchanging glances with Sima Sanguang, both of us found it amusing. Clearing my throat, I said with a smile: “Alright, let me ask you something first.”
“You, you!” Gou Feng wiped his tears.
“Who told you to use the qq Number Love Like Tides?”
“I applied for it myself.”
“Then who told you to contact Wind Whisperer?” I asked in a serious tone. Wind Whisperer was the nickname of that Shop Owner, and seeing Gou Feng like this, I didn’t believe he was Jiang Chengguang. There must be someone else.
“When I was playing at the internet café, a bearded guy stood next to me and asked if I wanted to make some money. I asked how to earn it, and he said to apply for a qq Number at the internet café in Star City, then add this person called Wind Whisperer, just relay a few messages,” Gou Feng answered intermittently.
Damn, a bearded man.
I took out my phone, opened the photo that Lingfeng sent me, and placed it in front of Gou Feng. "Is this the person?"
Gou Feng frowned and looked for a while before shaking his head. "Not this person; his facial features aren't that fierce."
Really? This left me quite frustrated. I didn't have any other photos, and it wasn't like I could ask Lingfeng to send me a picture of every bearded man in Star City.
Wait, doesn't the police have software that can sketch suspects? Witnesses describe the suspect as having a square or round face, a high or flat nose, thick or thin eyebrows, and thick or thin lips. Then the computer gradually pieces together a sketch based on the witness's descriptions. While it may not be 100% accurate, there should still be over 80% similarity.
I immediately called Lingfeng and learned that he hadn't gone far. I asked him to come back and pick us up to take Gou Feng to the police station to sketch the suspect's portrait.
When we were about to head to the police station, Sima Sanguang decided not to accompany me anymore. In his words, going to that place was bad luck. I didn't mind and just smiled and waved goodbye.
When Lingfeng returned, Xiao Jue was no longer with him. I casually asked about her, and Lingfeng laughed, "She's quite rebellious; if you ignore her, she loses interest. I answered two of her ten questions with 'uh-huh' and one with 'oh,' and she got angry and left."
I chuckled as well and helped Gou Feng into Lingfeng's car. Before long, we arrived at the police station. Lingfeng instructed someone to take Gou Feng into a room. After waiting for a while, a detective called me in; they had finished the sketch.
Gou Feng was sitting in front of a computer with a female police officer. When he saw me enter, he pointed at the screen with excitement. "That's him! That's him!"
Following his finger, I couldn't help but exclaim softly. The bearded man on the screen was someone I actually recognized—he was Li Hanxuan, the Security Supervisor of Sky Building.
What was going on here?
Was Li Hanxuan connected to Jiang Chengguang or one of Jiang Chengguang's subordinates? This didn't make sense; he was already a Security Supervisor controlling Sky Building. Why would he need to send a fax to Huang Jianguo and make this matter public?
Seeing me frowning in silence, Lingfeng asked what was wrong. I found a quiet corner and explained the situation. Lingfeng smiled and said, "That's simple; just capture Li Hanxuan and interrogate him."
"Are you serious? Is this how rough you police handle cases?" I asked in astonishment.
"This has nothing to do with us police. I suggest you capture him and interrogate him," Lingfeng immediately distanced himself from the situation.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" I hesitated for a moment.
"Not at all. I can't believe you're being so indecisive; this isn't your style," Lingfeng said, somewhat surprised.
"I'm worried that making too much noise will draw too much attention. If everyone acted so recklessly, the world would be in chaos by now." After pondering for a moment, I slapped my forehead and said, "I've got it! I'll find someone to help."
I said goodbye to Lingfeng and had just taken a few steps when he called out from behind, "What about this Gou Feng?"
"I'm not familiar with him; you can handle it yourself," I replied with a laugh without looking back.
When I arrived at Sky Building, I called Ji Wuyuan for assistance.
Ji Wuyuan has a red teleportation portal, right? At that time, I could pretend to chat with Li Hanxuan, and when Ji Wuyuan opens the portal, I would shove Li Hanxuan inside. Once transported to another location, I could start the interrogation. This method of capturing someone is discreet; after finishing, I could send him back. Even if he tells others, they would have to believe him.
In theory, this method should be foolproof. Unfortunately, "foolproof" means there’s still a chance it might not work out perfectly.
Ji Wuyuan flatly refused my request: "Are we that close? This is my treasure; why should I lend it to you?"
"Come on, it's just borrowing a teleportation portal," I said in disbelief. "It won't break or get damaged; just clean it up and it'll be as good as new."
Ji Wuyuan chuckled: "You can't put it that way. How about I borrow your girlfriend for a while? Would you agree? I promise it won't break or get damaged; just clean her up and she'll be as good as new."
I was instantly furious: "That's completely different."
"In my eyes, this is just how it is!" Ji Wuyuan laughed loudly and hung up the phone.
Still a Grandmaster-level Expert, what a load of nonsense! I spit!
But aside from being angry, I had no other way to deal with it. I couldn't beat him up, so what else could I do?
A few security guards at Sky Building saw me standing at the entrance, my expression fluctuating as I made the call. They looked at me with some suspicion. Among them, there seemed to be one guard who was one of those I had knocked down on the rooftop; I didn't remember him well, but he was vaguely familiar.
I waved at that guard: "Hey, can I trouble you for a moment?"
The guard's face looked extremely unnatural. He glanced around before walking up to me, trying hard to appear calm: "Did you call for me?"
"Is Brother Xuan around?" I asked with a smile.
"Brother Xuan has his leg broken by you and is currently in the hospital," the guard said, a flash of hatred in his eyes.
I didn't mind that hatred. I had indeed been a bit heavy-handed at that time, so it was only natural for him to hold a grudge. Moreover, my mind was completely elsewhere. Upon hearing what the guard said, I suddenly remembered something. Right, Li Hanxuan had his leg broken by me; how could he possibly go to Shacheng to instigate Gou Feng?
Was Gou Feng lying? Or did he mistake someone?
From Gou Feng's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was lying. As for mistaking someone, that made even less sense; how could he mistake someone and still accurately describe their appearance? That seemed impossible.
If Gou Feng wasn't lying or mistaken, then there was only one explanation: Li Hanxuan's leg hadn't actually been broken or had already healed.
But when I stepped down back then, I could hear the sound of bones shattering; it was hard to believe otherwise. Could it be that Li Hanxuan's leg injury had already healed?
Damn, that seemed even more impossible. The incident happened in less than ten minutes; how could a shattered leg bone possibly heal that quickly?
After dismissing all the speculations, the thought returned to the first assumption: Gou Feng is lying.
I immediately called Lingfeng and learned that Gou Feng had not yet been released. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Do you have a lie detector or something? This guy might be lying."
"A lie detector? No need for that trouble. Isn't he just a kid? Just scare him a bit with a few veteran detectives," Lingfeng laughed and hung up.
Standing at the entrance of the Sky Building, I was momentarily unsure of what to do. The security guard cleared his throat and asked, "Excuse me, do you need something?"
Hearing the guard, an idea popped into my head. Since Li Hanxuan was hospitalized, there probably weren't many people around. I could just rush over and ask directly. Who needs a teleportation portal? I casually asked, "Which hospital is Xuan Ge in?"
The guard glanced at me but remained silent.
"Wait for me a moment." I walked around outside the building and returned with cigarettes, alcohol, and candy—items from my Mustard Seed Pendant: "Look, these are my tokens of goodwill. We've actually turned enemies into friends, and I'm here to apologize."
After some rambling, the guard eventually told me Li Hanxuan's hospitalization address, as it wasn't much of a secret.
Li Hanxuan was hospitalized at People's Hospital, not at Star City City People's Hospital, but at Qinghu District People's Hospital. After finding the room number, I peeked through the visiting window. Inside were three hospital beds; two were empty, and on the bed against the wall lay Li Hanxuan, with a strong-looking man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting beside him—Qiao Yi.
I pushed the door open and greeted them with a smile. Upon seeing me, both Li Hanxuan and Qiao Yi were taken aback. Qiao Yi stood up and exclaimed urgently, "What are you doing here?"
