Chapter 491 - Boss, Come and Have a Bite!

Chapter 491: Boss, Come and Have a Bite!

They caught the high-speed train and arrived at the station in the evening. Lawyer An rented a car and bought a lot of food and water before everyone drove into the mountains. This time, Lawyer An was very attentive with the shopping. He bought a variety of biscuits, instant noodles, bread, snacks, and the like. The car was filled to the brim.

Knowing that he wouldn’t have to worry about spider lilies’ oral liquid in the future, Lawyer An was extremely enthusiastic about eating. It was a pity that he was in a hurry to look for someone in the mountains. Otherwise, he might have planned to go into the mountains to find an authentic farmhouse and have a good meal.

He followed the map and navigated the route. Since there was a highway, he didn’t have to worry about getting lost. After all, there weren’t many roads in the mountains. Lawyer An drove quickly. He put one hand outside the window, looking very cool.

Zhang Yanfeng sat in the front passenger seat. He fastened his seatbelt and sat upright.

Zhou Ze and Yingying sat in the back. Boss Zhou was also playing around now. He did not have to worry about the spider lilies’ oral liquid anymore. He could use the stock directly. He could start to eat snacks with the oral liquid!

In the past, Zhou Ze didn’t like to eat these small biscuits and snacks very much. Naturally, he ate even less in this life. Now, they tasted quite delicious.

Yingying was responsible for opening the packaging for Zhou Ze or peeling some fruit. Seeing the boss eating so happily, Yingying was also very happy.

In short, if Lin Ke’s matter was put aside, the atmosphere in the car was similar to that of an outing. It was quite pleasant.

“Boss, stretch your hand out and feel it. My current speed is the closest to touching Nana’s feeling that I tested myself.”

“Old An.”

“What’s the matter, boss?”

“Your image is a little bad today.”

“Boss, don’t be a man who doesn’t know that a man is hungry.”

“You’ve always had food and sleep.”

“It’s too difficult for me. I haven’t experienced such a day in a long time.”

“Not only can that tanned girl plant spider lilies, the poison she gave us can make us sleep soundly. When I think of the days that we can eat and sleep in the future… I’m really happy.”

“Eating is for living. Living is not for eating.” Zhou Ze sighed with emotion.

Hearing this, Lawyer An was stunned. Zhang Yanfeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also stunned. These words coming from his boss’s mouth always gave people a strange feeling.

“Wow, boss. What you said is so deep and philosophical! As expected of a boss!”

Yingying did not pretend to be a fangirl. Instead, she eased the awkward silence in the car caused by the chicken soup. “I say, boss, if Buddha comes out, can that guy beat him?”

Lawyer An lit a cigarette and threw one to Old Zhang and Zhou Ze behind him.

“His battery is mine.”

Zhou Ze took a bite of the Snickers bar Yingying handed to him.

“Oh.”

Lawyer An nodded. He got it. No wonder his boss seemed to be hollowed out every time that guy came out. He remembered that the Old Daoist once told him that his boss had been miserable after he opened his unparalleled. His entire body was covered in bloody wounds. He had to lie in bed for half a month, unable to get out of bed. Although he had improved with his boss’s strength and was only in a coma for one night, it was still not enough.

It was like two tanks fighting. The winning tank was much stronger than the opponent in terms of armor thickness, mobility, and cannon caliber. However, the opponent had several barrels of matching fuel. In the winning tank, there was only one Nanfu battery. Even though his boss was a hero in the battery, it was still a battery. One battery was stronger than six.

“Then that guy last night must have been stupid. Is he going to wait for Buddha to come out and fight the Devil and Buddha?”

“His temper is a little unstable now,” Zhou Ze said.

“Yeah, unstable? What do you mean?”

“I mean whatever you’re saying now, he might have heard it. The next time he comes out, he might not fight the enemy first. He’ll kill you first.”

“…” Lawyer An.

He threw the cigarette butt out. Then, he connected his phone to his Bluetooth, preparing to play a song. Seeing his actions, Zhang Yanfeng took out his phone and said, “Connect my Bluetooth. I want to play a song.”

“Okay, you play it. Play something nice.” Lawyer An immediately agreed.

Zhang Yanfeng adjusted it and connected the car stereo to his phone’s Bluetooth. Soon, the song was played.

When the song was played, Lawyer An, who had put his hand outside to caress Nainai, subconsciously withdrew his hand. Boss Zhou, who was sitting at the back, eating and drinking with Yingying, also subconsciously stopped his actions. Zhang Yanfeng continued to sit upright. He sat even straighter than before.

“Get up. People who don’t want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall…”

Yingying, on the other hand, was a little puzzled. She was from the Qing dynasty, so she didn’t have much feelings for this.

At this moment, Zhou Ze and Lawyer An looked at Zhang Yanfeng. The thoughts in their hearts were probably the same, “Are you f*cking poisonous?!”

Zhang Yanfeng slowly blew out a smoke ring. He said, “Today is the national day. I think we should listen to the national anthem.”

Amidst the resounding and passionate singing of the national anthem, the car finally arrived at its destination. In front was a villa built on a flat dam in the valley. Lawyer An stopped the car. He immediately reached out and turned off the car stereo. Then, he got out of the car. He let out a long sigh of relief.

When Zhou Ze got out of the car, his expression was relaxed as he said, “I think this is pretty good too. Look, since the place we are about to enter has been marked on the map by that old man, there must be a problem.”

“After listening to the national anthem, I feel full of positive energy. It’s just right for us to go in and explore.”

Lawyer An rolled his eyes at Zhou Ze. He felt that Zhang Yanfeng’s sudden mental illness was one thing, but now even his boss’s brain was a little abnormal.

“Let’s go in.”

Since they were here, they had to go in and take a look. They were not a live broadcast team for some supernatural program, so they needed to prepare a lot of equipment. Strictly speaking, this group of people was a supernatural phenomenon.

The villa’s main door was locked. Zhou Ze walked over and used his fingernails to break the lock before pushing the door open.

The villa had three floors. There were quite many rooms, but not a single light was on.

“Tsk. Tsk.” Lawyer An chewed on his gum and walked to the door on the first floor. He originally wanted to call his boss to continue being a locksmith, but the door opened with a light push.

“Yo.” After taking a few steps in, Lawyer An called out softly. He continued to chew his gum. In the hall, there were three corpses. Two men and a woman. They were all adults.

Alright. There was something wrong in this villa deep in the mountains. There were corpses. This was indeed a very normal thing. It was akin to a performance by a transvestite on a Thai cruise ship.

Zhou Ze and the others walked in as well. Zhang Yanfeng and Lawyer An took out their phones and switched on their flashlights. They began to examine the corpses on the ground.

“PA”

In an instant, the entire first-floor hall was brightly lit! Zhang Yanfeng and Lawyer An were so scared that their bodies trembled. The corpses on the ground did not scare them. This sudden light made their backs turn cold in an instant.

“Sorry, I scared you.” Zhou Ze shrugged and pointed to the switch beside him, “You can turn on the light and check.”

Lawyer An and Zhang Yanfeng looked at each other. They silently put away their phones to check the corpse.

Zhou Ze was more interested in the decoration and furnishings of the room compared to the corpse. It was quite magnificent. It did not appear greasy or tacky. This meant that the owner was quite cool. Especially the row of Doraemon toys on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. They looked quite cute. Zhou Ze remembered that when he was a child in the orphanage, he had read Doraemon’s comics and animations. This was one of the few entertainments he had when he was a child.

“Boss, the toys on this table feel strange.” Yingying said to Zhou Ze, “There are more below. They don’t look very compatible with this place.”

“This is elegance.” Zhou Ze corrected her, “Yingying, when you buy houses and renovate them in the future, don’t always pretend to be rich. That’s too tacky.”

“Elegance? Tacky? Boss, how do you differentiate?”

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment. ‘How do you differentiate?’

“If a man has a monthly salary of two thousand, he stays at home after work and plays games and toys. This is called elegance. If a man earns 1,000,000 yuan a year and doesn’t go anywhere after work, he stays at home to play games and occasionally buys some figurines. This is called elegance.”

“Oh, so esoteric.”

“Okay.”

While Boss Zhou and Yingying were visiting the first floor of the house to learn about the decoration, Lawyer An and Zhang Yanfeng were studying the three corpses together.

“The time of death should be more than ten days,” Zhang Yanfeng guessed.

“The cause of death is this.” Lawyer An raised the head of the body and pointed at the neck. There were two bloody holes. They were small but very deep. There were dark cyan spots near the wounds. No other wounds were found.

“Was it pierced by a sharp weapon? Was it a fork?” Zhang Yanfeng frowned. He began to analyze based on his experience and instincts as a criminal police officer. “That’s not right. There are only two forks? The wound is small. It can’t be like a harpoon, nor is it a needle hole from an injection. Did Lin Ke kill him? Lin Ke kills people with her tongue. She couldn’t have created such a wound.”

Lawyer An listened to Zhang Yanfeng’s analysis for so long. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you want to know the cause of death and the murder weapon?”

“You know?” Zhang Yanfeng was a little surprised.

“Yes.” Lawyer An turned his body and shouted to the two people who were still looking at the decoration. “Boss, come over and take a bite!”
