[Password Killer 16] Chapter 76 - Born Bad

Bai YuTang looked at Zhan Zhao "How do you know he's lying?"

"That Liu Fang is indeed very calm on the surface."Zhan Zhao smiled slightly "But he gave me the feeling that he was trying to suppress some kind of emotion."

"Emotion?" The few of them looked at Zhan Zhao curiously.

"He let the cat sit on his lap and stroked its fur... It is to calm himself through that soft touch. But... The way he smoked gave away his emotion."

"What emotion?" Bai YuTang asked.

"Anger." Zhan Zhao whispered.

"Anger?" Luo Tian thought for a while and said "Liu Fang started smoking when you mentioned that Wu QianLiang almost killed Xu Zhong... Why is he angry?"

"Maybe it's because he hate this kind of killing method?" Bai YuTang shrugged and opened the car door "Or maybe it's because Xu Zhong escaped unharmed."

"It seems like we have to go back and ask Xu Zhong carefully." Zhan Zhao put on his seat belt.

"Xu Zhong has been officially arrested, and now he is in custody awaiting trial. He is charge with kidnapping and premeditated murder..." Bai Chi shook his head and said "Although the child is fine, Xu Zhong may not be sentenced to death, but I guess it will not be any better this time."

"That's right." Bai YuTang also nodded "I will say about 20 or 30 years."

"Unless..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while "He was instigated, and there is a mastermind behind everything, and he was being used."

"Then the sentence may really be very light." Bai Chi also nodded "After all, he just missed it by a bit."

While they were chatting, Bai YuTang's phone rang. It was Zhang JianQi who called, saying that he went to pick up Zhang Hua, but when Zhang Hua heard that they are going to meet the police, he refused. Zhang JianQi begged Bai YuTang to give him another night to persuade his son, tomorrow morning he will definitely bring his son over to the police station.

Although Bai YuTang felt helpless, he had no choice but to agree to it.

"Looks like we should go back and interrogate Xu Zhong." Bai YuTang turned the car around to go back to the police station, and his phone rang again. Zhan Zhao helped him take out the phone, looked at it, and he was taken aback "Xiao Bai, your mom is calling."

Bai YuTang frowned "Oh right, I haven't been back for a long time, so she is probably asking us to go back for dinner."

"En, it is possible." Zhan Zhao answered the phone "Auntie... En, YuTang is driving... Ah?"

Didn't know what Bai Ma Ma said, making Zhan Zhao felt difficult until he blinked at Bai YuTang, Bai YuTang also felt quite puzzled, Zhan Zhao could only say "Oh", and then hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Bai YuTang asked when he saw the awkward expression on his face.

"Your mom said to ask Da Ge to go home for dinner... Bring Gong Sun along too." Zhan Zhao said in a low voice "She said, since they are married, why didn't he bring him home for dinner and let her have a look too."

Bai YuTang looked at Zhan Zhao with wide eyes "Really?!"

"What should we do?" Zhan Zhao asked "She told us to go back too."

"Huh?" Bai YuTang opened his mouth wide and shook his head repeatedly "I don't want, why should we go back, it's so awkward!"

"Right." Bai Chi behind him also replied.

Zhan Zhao looked back at Bai Chi "Chi Chi, why don't you go instead."

"I don't want." Bai Chi quickly shook his head.
