It was impossible for Su Mo to call Xing Biao for help when he could walk freely with his legs. He went out for his business all by himself. He would never ask other’s help when he could manage on his own. Su told his parents he would go out for some business. His mom asked about the destination and just got a brief reply, “To the crime scene”.
Su’s mom was very angry for her son’s wedding would be held in 3 days, but he didn’t care about or show any interest in it. It was the job for policemen to investigate the scene, not for a lawyer!
As she entered the room, the phone rang.
“Mom, Su Mo hung up on my call, where did he go? His leg is not fully recovered yet. Do not let him leave home.”
“Am I able to persuade him?”
“That’s right. I can’t either.”
Xing Biao told the truth. Nobody could persuade Su Mo. He just called Su Mo and asked what he was doing. Su just answered ‘none of your business,’ opened the car door and hung up the call.
Interesting! All men get married, including him, while others’ wives were timid, lovable, obedient and treated their husbands like masters. But for him, it was almost the opposite. His wife was a boss and Xing Bio was just a less favored servant who followed his wife’s orders.
“He said he would investigate the scene. Can you give me a reasonable explanation what kind of lawyer needs to investigate the scene?”
“He’s gone back to work? I know nothing about that!”
Didn’t he say he would not work before the wedding? He had countless business to deal with. Did he want to exhaust himself to death?
“The case happened the day before yesterday. He does nothing but study the case these 2 days,” Su’s mother said.
“Fuck. I will talk to Cui Xun. Damn it, he mistreats the handicapped. I can’t allow my wife to be bullied like this,” Xing Biao complained.
“Hello, hello, Biao…”Xing Biao had already hung up the phone before Su’s mother could finish her words.
Great, they all had a quick temper. Hard to imagine how often they’d fight after getting married. Xing Biao was so furious. What the fuck did Cui Xun do? Didn’t he know that Su Mo’s leg had not recovered yet? Didn’t he know that they would be married in a few days? There was maternity leave for those who were to give birth and marriage leave for those who were to get married, so why was Cui so hurried to make him work?
Xing went straight to Cui Xun with all that fury. Xing shoved the door heavily upon arriving, and Cui Xun was startled by the loud noise.
“What brings you here? Anything to do here?” asked Cui Xun.
Out of habit, Cui also glanced behind Xing’s back because once he saw Xing, he would instinctively check if Su Mo was there too.
“Where is my darling?” Xing Biao scowled and questioned ferociously.
Cui Xun got more confused.
“I don’t know where your wife is. He didn’t come to see me. Did you two have a quarrel? Did he run away from home?” Cui Xun asked.
“Bullshit! Shut your mouth, you jinx,” Xing Biao said.
Cui Xun’s thirst for gossips immediately rose.
“So why didn’t you call him? I bet he did not answer, so you two certainly had a quarrel. He is not easy to be comforted. Did you provoke him? Damn it, if you are on his blacklist, he will never forgive you for the rest of his life, I think. What did you do that pissed him off?” asked Cui Xu out of extreme curiosity.
“Go to hell, I did nothing. He said he would go to the scene. I want to ask you actually. You exhaust my wife as soon as he could just move a bit with his injured leg. How could you do that? You are his superior, but you are exploiting him just like an imperialist!” accused Xu Biao.
“What a short temper. I told him to have a rest at home, but he didn’t listen. Discipline your wife please. I didn’t exploit him and I told him to have a honeymoon vacation at first before getting back to work. But he just wants to investigate the case,” explained Cui Xun.
“Where is he? Ask him where he is. I have some business to talk with him,” Xing Biao urged.
“Why don’t you call him yourself?” Cui Xun asked.
“He doesn’t answer my call. Fuck, I’m speechless about him. I don’t know why he starts to refuse my calls since yesterday. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?” said Xing Biao.
He remembered that he had called Su Mo when he was drunk but was confused about what he had done. He didn’t know why Su Mo began to ignore him.
Cui Xun smirked to Xing’s words. Xing Biao must have provoked Su Mo.
Cui Xun called Su Mo and looked at Xing Biao with a look of pride as if boasting, ‘See? He answers my call but refuses yours!’
“I am looking for some clues at the suspect’s home,” Su Mo said on the other side of the phone.
“Are you by yourself?” Cui Xun asked.
“Yes,” Su Mo answered.
“Would you like to come to the law firm?” Cui Xun asked.
“No, I would go to the Chinese medicine clinic after a while,” Su Mo answered.
“Oh, I got it. I will definitely attend your wedding, I promise,” said Cui Xun.
“Where is he?” Xing Biao asked Cui Xun anxiously.
Cui Xun wrote a note with address to him and said, “This case is very tricky, and Su Mo went to find some clues by himself.”
“Don’t let him come back to work until getting married, or else I will smash this place.” Xing Biao shouted angrily to him.
Cui Xun gave him a punch through the distance. Su Mo’s anger was reasonable and he was also provoked by Xing Biao, who was a mixture of bandit and gangster, also extremely evil.
Actually attorney had no right to check the crime scene, but Su Mo found his way in without being noticed. It was an independent villa with a good environment. Probably the procuratorate had already searched the house as there was seal on the door. There was no way to get in. Su Mo wandered around the two-storey villa and found the decoration quite exquisite. The French windows were sheltered from curtains and Su Mo couldn’t see the inside. Su Mo tried to push the windows; unexpectedly, there really was an unlocked one. Su Mo’s eyes lit up and then he slipped into the house.
The interior was very well decorated. There were a leather sofa and a TV hanging on the wall. On the raw-wood floors scattered some pieces of paper.
According to the investigation, no extra money was transferred into accounts of the suspect or his relatives for unknown reasons. The money couldn’t be found until now. Where was it? Not in the bank, where could it be? Definitely being hidden in the house, somewhere. Su Mo made a close search in several rooms, both upstairs and downstairs, but there was nothing special. He even knocked on the wall and checked the study room for several times. Still, nothing was found.
Standing in the capacious living room, he found the plants had dried up because they had not been watered for a long time. However, in the living room there stood a large fish tank as a partition. In this messy environment, the fish tank was abnormally clean. A few golden arowanas were swimming around in the tank, which was paved with plenty of fine sand heaped into dunes that were dotted with plants and rockeries.
Su Mo looked at the fish tank and there were still a few small fish remaining. He saw a golden arowana opened its mouth and swallowed one of the small fish in a split second.
Arowanas are cruel and murderous. They like to eat live fish and shrimp. Now he finally witnessed this with his own eyes.
The fish tank was not small, three-meter long and two-meter wide. This tank of arowanas was estimated to be hundreds of thousand yuan. What a rich.
“Honey, honey.” As Su Mo was trying to observe the fish tank more carefully, the annoying shouts came from outside.
Damn it.
“Honey, I know you are there, Honey. Look at me.” Xing Biao didn’t stop his passionate calling.
Su Mo punched the fish tank angrily. Golden arowanas in the tank were shocked, wiggling their tails at full tilt. Sand in the tank was stirred and water got muddy. Pushing open the window, Su Mo saw Xing Biao was standing at the door and shouting there.
“What are you doing here?” Su Mo said to Xing Biao impatiently.
Su Mo’s face sank the moment he saw Xing Biao wearing that wearing that annoying look with arms across his chest, which was as much disgusting as when he was drunk that day.
“I come to see you. Mom said that you are working, but I will not let you work. And you are to be married in these two or three days. Has your leg recovered?” Xing Biao said to Su Mo, his voice full of concern.
Xing Biao’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Mo. And he walked straight in from the windows. When he came into the living room, he whistled flirtatiously.
“It is awesome, my honey. I will work hard and buy a villa like this for you in a few years,” Xing Biao said to Su Mo with pride.
“According to the agreement, do not interfere with each other’s work. Are you trying to violate the agreement?” Su Mo asked Xing Biao.
“I am worried about you.” Xing Biao said worriedly.
Xing Biao strongly denied he breached the agreement.
“Your leg has not recovered yet. I’m really worried that you would exhaust yourself.”
Su Mo gave him a mean look. This tank of Gold Arowanas was the most interesting thing to him, he found it fresh to watch them fighting and biting each other for food.
Xing Biao stood beside him and joined him in watching.
“Have you found anything?” Xing Biao asked.
“Not yet,” Su Mo replied.
“You like the fish, how about putting a fish tank in our house?” Xing Biao asked delightedly.
Su Mo did not answer but only stared at the Gold Arowanas swimming around inside the tank. Some sand would be stirred up when some arowanas wagged their tails.
“The fish shouldn’t be raised in this way.” Xing Biao commented.
“Well? Then how to raise them?” Su Mo asked.
There were so many tricks for raising fish, but Su Mo knew nothing about that, which was why he felt it quite interesting. Xing Biao seemed to know it clearly.
“One of my buddies in the underworld also likes raising fish, and the most difficult fish to raise is Gold Arowana. The high price of Gold Arowana aside, it is cruel and if several Gold Arowanas are raised together, the weak ones are likely to be killed by the bigger and ferocious ones. It takes three or four years of domestication to raise such a tank of them, it can be considered a success only when the Gold Arowana can get acquainted with each other and don’t kill each other. The water to keep Gold Arowana must be clear and clean; generally no one would put so many things in the fish tank, sucks as rockeries and stones, which may scratch the scales. Also, the fish tanks are generally not covered with sand even if there are filters. Sand can block the filter and the water will be turbid. You see, the sand is stirred up and affects the appreciation when the fish swim. This fish tank is placed here for appreciation and who would like to see such a turbid fish tank?” Xing Biao stated slowly and carefully.
Xing Biao knocked on the fish tank, “Too much sand.” Su Mo frowned and looked at the fish in the tank.
“Too much? Is the fish tank so inappropriate?” Su Mo asked.
“I don’t know much about this, I just think the sand in this fish tank is redundant. I will ask someone.”
Xing Biao took out his phone to make a call, while Su Mo felt that something seemed to be clear soon.
