Chapter 308: Chapter 308: You are a Charlatan_1
Qin Feng’s words infuriated Jiang Yan, who asked, "What do you mean by that?"
After glancing at the headless female corpse lying on the ground, Qin Feng said seriously, "If it weren’t for Song Sisi inviting me here, every single one of you from the Patrol Team would have died in this hotel tonight! The one who killed this woman isn’t an ordinary murderer, it’s a wizard!"
"A wizard? Hahaha..." Jiang Yan couldn’t help laughing loudly, his voice laced with cold mockery, "So you’re a charlatan?"
"Captain Jiang, there are some things that are better safe than sorry."
"Song Sisi, you’re a member of the Patrol Team, even the team leader! You actually believe in this superstitious nonsense? Get this guy out of here immediately!"
"Fine, I’ll leave! But don’t beg me to come back!" Qin Feng, not wanting to argue further, turned around and walked away.
If it weren’t for Xue Xiaochan forcing him to come, if not for considering Song Sisi’s feelings, he couldn’t care less about this mess!
The murder case was the Patrol Team’s responsibility, not his. He had come with good intentions to help, yet this was Captain Jiang’s attitude.
In that case, let the wizard teach him a good lesson, so he can learn whether there really are spirits and ghosts in this world or not.
Seeing Qin Feng was about to leave, Song Sisi quickly grabbed him and exclaimed, "You can’t go!"
"If they don’t welcome me, why shouldn’t I leave? Besides, you’d better come with me. Otherwise, when the wizard causes trouble later, you’ll be in trouble too."
Captain Jiang, already displeased with Song Sisi, seized the opportunity to yell at her, "Song Sisi, you’ve violated discipline. You’re forbidden from participating in this mission. Take this charlatan and get out of the hotel!"
"Captain Jiang, Qin Feng really isn’t a charlatan; he truly has great skills. You have to trust me, I’m doing this to solve the case, for the safety of the team members."
"Get out now!"
Jiang Yan was obstinate and Song Sisi had no choice but to leave the hotel with Qin Feng.
Qin Feng opened the passenger door of the Santana and sat down, saying, "Since Captain Jiang doesn’t want me involved, there’s no point in me staying here. Take me home!"
"Even if he doesn’t want you involved, you still have to be," Song Sisi said seriously, looking at Qin Feng. "Is what you said true, that the wizard is going to kill all of the Patrol Team members, or were you lying?"
"That guy is still in the hotel, he will definitely hurt more people. But whether he intends to kill everyone or just a few, only he knows. I can’t say for sure."
"There absolutely cannot be any more deaths tonight. I’m going to call my dad and have him remove Jiang Yan from the case and let me take full responsibility."
Song Sisi reached for her phone, about to dial, when Qin Feng stopped her.
"It’s the middle of the night, why disturb your father? He already has trouble sleeping, why trouble him? Moreover, having your father directly intervene in this matter might not reflect well on him either!"
"Human life is at stake, we can’t afford to consider that."
"Actually, in order to ensure no one else dies, it’s quite simple. Just buy me a meal of barbecue," Qin Feng said.
This statement stunned Song Sisi. She looked at him incredulously and asked, "What do you mean? Just by treating you to a meal of barbecue, no one has to die?"
"Why else would you keep me here, to just stare at each other? Even though you are quite good-looking, it’s not like I can use that to my advantage, so just watching is boring. So, go get some barbecue and beer or something, and we can eat and wait here!"
"You scoundrel, I’m going to tell Xue Xiaochan all about the crass things you’ve said, so she knows just what kind of person you are!"
"What kind of person I am, doesn’t she already know? Inside and out, top to bottom, what about me isn’t clear to her?"
"Shameless!"
"There’s a place nearby called Little Fatty’s Barbecue, which isn’t too bad; I’ve been there before. Go and get some of their special lamb kidneys, a few skewers of them. Also, grab some oysters, scallops, and the like..." Qin Feng rattled off his orders unapologetically, leaving Song Sisi speechless.
She stared at him in disbelief and asked, "You’re a grown man, how can you have the nerve to ask me, a girl, to run errands for you?"
"If you don’t want to go, then I’ll just take a taxi home. I haven’t taken a cent from your Patrol Team, so why should I sit around and clean up your mess without even a barbecue meal in return? It’s a losing deal for me—I’m not interested."
"You... shameless!"
After scolding Qin Feng, Song Sisi angrily went to buy the barbecue. If it weren’t for wanting to keep him here to help catch the criminal, she wouldn’t indulge him!
She was a respected police officer; it was always men who ran errands for her, not the other way around.
On the eighteenth floor, the crime scene, a forensic scientist was conducting an autopsy on the headless female corpse. Suddenly, the corpse sat up.
The forensic scientist was terrified, fell on the floor, trembling all over, unable to utter a word. The Patrol Team members present turned deathly pale with fear, their legs going weak.
