The person was carried to the lobby sofa, and Lin Wan called the municipal bureau. The people from the major case third team arrived in ten minutes and took the person away.
Since Lin Wan took the initiative to come over and was present throughout, although Lu Zheng inevitably had to go back again to make a statement, it did not cause any suspicion.
As for subsequent matters, they had nothing to do with Lu Zheng.
Solved! Perfect!
...
"Is it really like this?"
Everyone in the office looked at Lin Wan with a confused expression.
"Exactly like this!"
Lin Wan nodded affirmatively.
"Isn't it too coincidental?" Liu Leng complained weakly, "Afraid of being silenced, went to stay at a hotel, and then happened to run into the suspect, and ended up knocking the suspect out with one punch. Now he's still lying there unconscious?"
"This is literally like a script from ten years ago!"
"The main point is..." Huang Xiumin grabbed Lin Wan's arm and said mischievously with a smile, "You actually went to find him alone after work!"
"Oh——"
"Get lost!" Lin Wan shrugged off Huang Xiumin, "I was working overtime!"
"Tch——"
A few male colleagues who had feelings for Lin Wan were secretly envious, but couldn't show it.
"Captain Li, the results are out." Liang Yuandong pushed open the door and entered.
"How is it?"
"Comparing this person with the delivery man who entered and exited Lu Zheng's community the morning before yesterday, we found that one of them has a 98.75% possibility."
"The person used a fake identity at the hotel; hasn't his real identity been investigated yet? And, is he still unconscious?" Li Jinglin asked.
"Captain Li, the person is awake."
Knocking sounded, and a medical staff member of the municipal bureau's direct medical room said at the door.
"Let's go, check it out."
...
Back at the hotel, Lu Zheng checked out. Although he barely stayed in the room for a few minutes, he still paid for a day.
Luckily there's eight million as backup, otherwise Lu Zheng would be heartbroken.
Back home, Lin Wan's call followed closely.
"Lu Zheng, you've accomplished something!"
"What?"
"The person is an international fugitive!" Lin Wan said excitedly.
This was her first time dealing with an international-level criminal, she couldn't help but be excited. There's no choice, the domestic public order is too good.
"What's the situation?"
Lu Zheng was speechless; how did he unexpectedly encounter an international fugitive?
"The person was originally a hitman for a South Asian gang; later, after a murder case, he kept fleeing between countries, also taking money to kill tasks along the way.
This time, he accepted an order to kill the victim. While tracking, he found you to be particularly skillful, so he decided to frame you temporarily."
Lin Wan laughed, "You know what? He was still instructing us to investigate you thoroughly, claiming that you definitely have secrets, because an ordinary person can't be that powerful."
Lu Zheng thought to himself that he indeed has secrets, but if they can uncover them, he'd be really impressed.
"Did he confess so easily?"
"With his identity already uncovered, what's the point of hiding?"
"Are there still jobs for killers these days?"
"Of course not domestically, but I've heard there are still some abroad," Lin Wan said, "This guy actually started halfway, otherwise he would've been on our blacklist long ago, and couldn't slip through customs."
"Uh, impressive homeland..."
"Helping to capture a suspect and, combined with the previous act of bravery, you might get two commendations this time."
"Is there a reward?"
"Nope." Lin Wan's voice was filled with laughter, "But thanks to you, our municipal bureau's third team also made a contribution, and Captain Li wants to invite you for a meal privately."
"Sure!" Lu Zheng had no objections.
"Then this weekend, let me know which day you're free, afternoon or evening?"
"Saturday afternoon, maybe."
"Great!"
...
After hanging up, Huang Xiumin hugged Lin Wan tightly, "Tell me, do you have designs on little brother Lu Zheng?"
"Tch——"
Lin Wan hugged Huang Xiumin back, "He's handsome, has a good character, and is skilled. Missing this chance, where else could I find someone like this? Why shouldn't I give it a try?"
"Oh dear, our Goddess Lin actually has a spring crush; you're three years older than him!"
"Three years older means hugging gold; with my looks and figure."
Your beauty is indisputable. Huang Xiumin exclaimed she couldn't handle it and quickly fled.
...
Truth be told, the fugitive did have some insight; seeing him, he realized he wasn't ordinary and wanted to pull him under to confuse the perception.
Lu Zheng narcissistically thought.
Since it was unintentionally involving him, now that he was captured, naturally it's no longer his concern.
He could continue to be a homebody in two worlds.
This was quite nice.
Checking the time, it coincidentally reached dinner time again. Lu Zheng didn't want to cook himself, nor did he want to order takeaway, so he decisively crossed over.
"Aunt Liu, please prepare dinner for me!"
"Okay!"
...
While eating, Liu Qingquan came bouncing through the door.
"Brother Lu!"
"Qing Quan, why are you here?"
"My mom cooked a roasted chicken at home and asked me to bring some chicken for you to taste."
Although the Great Jing Dynasty was in a prosperous era and people's lives were relatively affluent, it wasn't possible to eat meat every meal.
"Great, thanks to Mother." Lu Zheng smiled and accepted a ceramic bowl filled with chicken.
"And my sister!"
"Mm, mm, also thank Miss Liu."
After delivering the chicken, Liu Qingquan didn't linger, quickly ran off, and from the back, Lu Zheng could see her wiping her mouth, eager to go home and eat chicken.
"The Liu Family really likes chicken," Lu Zheng recalled when visiting the Liu Family, having roasted chicken as the main dish.
"Next time, I'll bring them a family bucket from KFC."
...
The next day, a bright start.
Lu Zheng first practiced a set of punches and wielded a knife in the backyard, then made a round at the sugar shop to supplement with a hundred pounds of sugar.
Returning home, he took treasure notes valued at ten strings of copper coins from Uncle Li and crossed back to the present time, putting them in the bedside drawer.
Back in ancient times, he exhausted the True Qi in his body and drew a few talismans for emergency use.
"What's the point of coming down here?"
Lu Zheng pondered and decided to cross back to modern times, change clothes, and head out.
...
"Hello, can I help you with anything?"
"I'm looking to buy a set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Also, do you have vermillion and yellow paper?"
The counter attendant looked at Lu Zheng with a peculiar expression, "Sorry, this is a stationery gift shop. Vermillion and yellow paper are more likely to be found in religious or sacrificial supply stores."
"Okay, thank you, I'll check out what you have here first."
"Sure, would you like me to introduce them to you?"
"Yes, please. Which kind of brush is best suited for drawing talismans?"
"..."
The attendant's smile froze momentarily, then quickly returned.
"For drawing talismans, usually, wolf hair brushes are used, as they're better at absorbing Spiritual Qi, making the talismans more effective. Our store specializes in the Five Gentlemen Wolf Hair Brush Set, which is quite suitable for drawing talismans." The attendant's smile was like a flower, "It's just a bit pricier, interested?"
Lu Zheng: w(°o°)w
I didn't study enough, don't deceive me!
"Um...how much is it?"
"Three thousand seven, no bargaining."
"Do you also have sheep hair, purple hair sets?"
"Yes!"
"How much?"
"If you want them all, I'll give you a discount; altogether nine thousand eight."
"I'll take them all!"
