Chapter Seven: Consecutive Obstacles

  When I found Chen De Liang in the backyard of the camp, he was discussing financial accounts with the quartermaster while washing and eating cucumbers.

  As soon as he saw me, Chen De Liang's face fell and his temper flared up, driving me away.

  Sun Licheng hastily blocked me and asked what to do now, should we withdraw or not?

  After coming here, I took a tough attitude for the first time: "Tell him that everyone is now suspicious of him. If we just leave like this, his suspicion will be even greater."

  After listening to the translation, Chen Deliang became furious and shouted repeatedly: "Get out! All of you get out! Get out!"

  I didn't expect this guy to be so hysterical, as if he has a mental problem?

  The deputy director of the police station next door also touched his nose and left. I was calm and cold: "Tomorrow, I will continue to ask you questions, the day after tomorrow is the same, and the day after that is still the same, until you are willing to cooperate with us in investigating the case."

  "Get out!!!"

  Although I wanted to find an excuse to leave, this method really makes people very uncomfortable and hard to accept, I really want to punch him to death!

  Before leaving the camp and passing by the drill ground, I asked Sun Licheng to pretend to be angry and shouted in a low voice in front of the Vietnamese soldiers: "Mr. Ren Zhuanjie, you are an international famous detective, but these people don't cooperate with the investigation, whoever comes will be useless, let's go!"

  "...". Sixty or seventy Vietnamese soldiers who were in training were thrown into confusion, and Zheng Wenlou was also somewhat at a loss.

  I continued to point quietly, and Sun Licheng shouted loudly again: "Your persistence and justice are admirable, but that Chen Deliang is not cooperating. I think the thief must be him, he's too suspicious, no mistake, it's him!"

  The dirty water has been splashed, and we called Jiang Yihe and Lin Ruoyin, who were covering the "yin" side, as well as Luo Lao Gui, who was studying Vietnamese cuisine - turned around and left.

  Riding a motorcycle back to Alio's home, we spoke freely in the small courtyard.

  "For the two 'girls' and Luo Lao Gui's inquiry, I'm too lazy to say anything: "Anyway, it's all acting, as long as I can hold on, now I declare the end of work hours. Rather than talking to those Vietnamese people who are difficult to communicate with and annoying, I'd rather think about what to eat tonight."

  Sun Licheng shut his mouth tightly, he and Sun Liwei were alike, people who spoke little but said much.

  "Really no energy!" Lin Ruoyin wiped her snow-white skateboard shoes: "What's the point of doing tasks, it's just waiting and dragging on, can't Zhao's team finish their work?"

  Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Is it that Ruan Dong who's been staring at you all day, making you feel embarrassed?"

  "What's wrong with you? That black monkey was clearly looking at you, not me!"

  "I'm wearing so much, what others see is just your big white 'legs'~"

  Two girls were making a lively fuss, while I stood calmly on the side, and Old Master Luo immediately pulled me out of the courtyard to ask questions.

  "Chuan Jie, what's wrong? Is work stressing you out? Tell me, I'll give you some advice." Luo San Si was very worried.

  When I sighed, my expression was gloomy: "My IQ is playing with them in abundance. Don't worry about work, Lao Luo, I will definitely complete the task."

  "What's going on? Did you think of Xiaomeng?" Luo Sansi was confused.

  I thought for a moment, feeling rather self-conscious, and then said: "Today when I used the trick of sowing discord, words rushed out, Wu Mengtuan mentioned a love triangle and made an analogy with me, Xiao Jiang, and Xiao Yin, which made me feel strange in my heart. Lao Luo, do you think we three are usually too close?"

  "Heh heh~" Luo Sansi smiled mysteriously: "I dare to guarantee, if you break up with Xiao Meng, either of them you pursue will succeed!"

  "Ah~ This is really happening, but I didn't think so!" I was anxious and couldn't sit still. How could things turn out like this? I absolutely won't be separated from Xiaomeng!

  Luosansi patted my shoulder and comforted me: "Calm down, be calm, my point is that the two girls don't have any dislike towards you, they hit it off with you, and they're on an equal footing with you. You know what I mean? This one thing about being on an equal footing, even surpassing their aura, ordinary people can't do this, including that little tiger."

  "Parallel lines?" I thought for a moment and said, "You mean, I'm more carefree and don't care about their family background, and usually go against them?"

  Lu Sansi nodded: "Some people have the guts, but not the ability. They can't even get close to two 'girls'. If they're foolish, they'll suffer. And some people don't have the guts, but they do have the ability. You know, a man who loses control is like losing everything. There are too many such people in society, but you're different. You have the ability and the guts. You often catch them off guard. When I first heard that you caught Liao Shicheng and his daughter Liao Xiaoyan, I told Old Zhao that you were no ordinary person."

  Old Luo's praise made me blush: "Old Luo, that's enough, what I'm thinking about now is how to get along with the two 'girls', our working relationship."

  Luosansi curled his lips: "Don't think about anything, you have a clear conscience, so just be careless and noisy, whoever wants to say something will say it, the only thing you need to pay attention to is to praise your little lemon more, I found that child extremely lacks a sense of security."

  "What's going on?" I listened with particular attention regarding Xiaoming's matter.

  "Didn't you notice that Xiaoming's clothes in the past never exceeded 100 yuan, and she only had three or four sets of clothes that she wore repeatedly? But when she saw you with Lin Ruoyin and Jiang Yitong, she called Jiang Yitong 'Big Beauty' and went back to buy clothes and dress up. This is completely contrary to her pure nature. You don't want the flower to wither, so you have to scatter sunshine and water it all the time."

  I really didn't notice this, I respect Xiaoming, giving her my own space at home, so I never rummage through her closet, and even my salary card is never asked.

  "Alright, nothing big happened~" Luo San thought for a moment and laughed: "Go back and have fun, remember, youth is meant to be wild, don't think too much."

  After being lectured by Big Brother, I suddenly felt enlightened, went back to eat and drink, sing songs, and tell jokes with two 'girls'.

  "One time I went to the ATM to withdraw money, and as I was about to leave, I let out a fart with an incredibly strange smell! At that moment, a man walked in, his face immediately turned green, and he said: 'I'm going to die!' Is the ATM on fire?"

  "Hehe ~ Haha ~" Just as we were making a ruckus, Zhao Yong came back with a gloomy face, accompanied by Cheng Long, Wu Mingkai and others, riding motorcycles.

  "...back then, these people all looked dejected and didn't say a word."

  The silent atmosphere lasted until bedtime, when Zhao Yong finally asked: "Lao Luo, Chuan Jie, do you have any problems on your side? We're probably going to be stuck here for a few more days."

  I smiled faintly: "With Old Luo behind me to make a move, there's no problem at all. Brother Yong, you can let go and do it, difficulties are nothing to fear, we can wait."

  "That's good, sigh..." Zhao Yong said, patting our two shoulders, and went back to sleep.

  Lao Luo and I exchanged a glance, knowing Zhao Yong's temper all too well. We didn't ask any questions and just continued to focus on our own work.

  It wasn't until the second day on our way to the campsite that we heard Lin Ruoyin's account.

  "Yong Ge and his friends have encountered a difficult problem. They set up traps with food as bait, but failed on the first day. On the second day, they launched an all-out attack, but still failed to catch that flying little devil. Now Yong Ge and his friends are calling that freak a little ghost."

  Jiang Yu couldn't help but say, "I heard Cheng Long say that they were staring at the golden light and blue Buddha on that little devil's body, but they just can't catch it. It's really infuriating."

  Haha! Look at me laughing, Luo Sansi curiously asked: "Chuan Jie, what are you laughing at? Do you have a way?"

  I shook my head: "I just find it funny, if it's really a ghost, why wouldn't it be afraid of the Golden Buddha?"

  "Jiang Yu's curiosity was piqued: 'Chuan Jie, you've also seen that thing twice on the monitor and phone, what do you think it is?'"

  I'm quite certain about this: "There are legendary ghosts and monsters in the world, but that existence is absolutely not one of them. I've heard Xiaomeng talk about it before - when people in the trade mention ghosts and monsters, they're mostly referring to hybrid species or blood type variations, like the six-clawed magic fish we've seen. Of course, there are also some inexplicable strange occurrences, such as the Forbidden City - everyone knows that going there at night is asking for trouble from ghosts. But those real ghosts, I've heard Wu Xian say that you can't capture them with cameras or surveillance equipment. Based on this alone, I believe that Yong Ge and the others can do it."

  Lin Ruo Yin said with a smile: "We are the Major Crimes Unit, really hope to meet that kind of ghost soon, handsome!"

  "Time to get to work! Let's start!" Lao Luo interrupted us reluctantly, and we headed towards the camp.

  This time we arrived at the Vietnamese barracks, I was quite surprised to see Chen De Liang, who was known for being difficult to talk to, coming forward to actively 'hand over' the case!

  Under the silly gaze of two girls, he only left them with a back view that captivated thousands of young women.

  But in the empty and spacious greenhouse, Chen De Liang's earth-shattering opening remark made me stare blankly.

  "The culprit is me, take me away!"

  I couldn't help but laugh: "Then please 'hand over' your accomplices in crime, who are they?"

  "It's none of your business, why ask so many questions!" Chen De-liang's tone was unpleasant, his glare at me was extremely vicious, I could even feel that he wanted to take action and kill me.

  I took two steps back: "Who is your accomplice in crime and where is the Golden Buddha now?"

  Chen Deliang flew into a rage again: "The accomplices have escaped, the Golden Buddha has been sold to foreigners by me, now it's done!"

  "How much did you sell it for? Where is the money?" I remained calm and composed, because I knew that behind his lies was a hidden purpose to protect that little devil.

  What connection should there be between them?

  "What's wrong with you, catching the murderer is enough, why are you meddling so much, do you have your eyes on the Golden Buddha and want to snatch it away?" Chen Deliang suddenly became vigilant.

  "This is not what I wanted to encounter, I told him: 'I am an international detective, this behavior in the logic of crime is called blocking the gun, scapegoat, because no murderer will actively admit to the crime, you should know that you are facing possible life imprisonment.'"

  When he heard the term "life imprisonment", Chen De-liang was shaken again, his face changed in many ways, and finally he said with a sigh: "Cough... I just tested you to see if you were greedy for the golden Buddha. In fact, the real culprit is not me, otherwise I would have gone to surrender myself."

  "...For this kind of nonsense, I gave him a dull glance, watching as he continued to put on an act."

  As expected, Chen De Liang couldn't withstand my playful gaze and said: "Let me tell you something, I didn't steal the Golden Buddha, but as for the explosives, it was my intention to go after them, but I accidentally made a mess, and I'm afraid of taking responsibility, so I haven't spoken up until now."

  My eyes stared at him unblinkingly: "There are many guns in the armory, why did you choose explosives instead of guns? As a murderer, you should have some understanding."

  "I just like using explosives, what's wrong with you Chinese people, are you annoying or not?!" Chen De-liang bellowed again.

  "I'm here to help you crack the case, if you want my help use it, if not, we'll leave in two days, humph!" Under his inexplicable gaze, I turned and walked away.

  A man should have this demeanor.
