Chapter Seventeen Liu Cheng

  Until the old mans head was severed, the cavity inside splashed blood all over Sun Baozi. He didnt notice who had beheaded the old man, but at this time Sun Baozi quickly pulled out his pistol and with his back against the refrigerator, almost in a burst of fire, he shot every 20 centimeters behind the old mans body.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Just as the third shot was fired, it didnt hit the wall opposite like the previous two bullets. Instead, a muffled sound was heard, and then, at a position one step behind the old man, the air suddenly distorted. This distortion only paused for a moment, looking as if it had been frozen in place. After a brief moment, it moved towards Sun Baozis location.

  "Hidden here, huh?" Sun Baozi didnt need to be polite anymore and fired the remaining bullets wildly into the distorted air. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the palm thunders magazine, the bullets were quickly depleted, and the distorted figure only retreated a few steps before slowly walking towards Sun Baozi again.

  Sun Baozi didnt even have time to change the magazine, he stuffed the pistol into his mouth. Then he jumped up and grabbed the top of the refrigerator, his body exerting force downward, with both hands straining to pull down the entire large refrigerator.

  The spot where the air was distorted, along with the old mans severed head and body, were crushed under the refrigerator. It wasnt until then that Sun Baozi replaced the magazine and aimed his gun at the bottom of the refrigerator. The kitchen was a relatively open space, and the sound of gunfire echoed far away. Just a moment later, a flurry of footsteps rushed in from outside.

  "Dont move! Put down your gun!" "Dont move! Dont move!" Seven or eight prison guards rushed in at the door, holding long and short firearms.

  "Dont shoot! Im one of us, Im from the Public Security Bureau to gather intelligence, the prison warden can vouch for me!" Sun Baozi raised his pistol above his head and slowly turned around. In this situation, he couldnt afford to explain himself, and the guards rushed over, knocking the gun out of his hand. Immediately after, someone pinned Sun Baozi to the ground, handcuffing him behind his back.

  Sun Baozi was handcuffed and dragged away with a swollen face, after being lifted up from the ground by the prison guards. He said, "I told you not to use excessive force! Ive already said that the warden can verify my identity, whos going to call him on the intercom?"

  "Shut up!" A prison guard scolded Sun Baozi, saying: "Stop talking nonsense, we dont know if youre a policeman or not, but you cant escape after shooting and killing people." After finishing speaking, the guard turned to his colleague and said: "Pull out the refrigerator and see whos underneath. Is there anyone rescued?"

  Two prison guards joined forces to lift the refrigerator, and just as the scene underneath was revealed, a sudden flame appeared on the old mans corpse. A "whoosh" sound was heard, and a large fire suddenly broke out on the old mans corpse. The two prison guards lifting the refrigerator were unguarded and instinctively let go of their hands.

  “Bang!” The refrigerator slammed down again on the old mans burning corpse. Sun Baozi took advantage of the moment when he lifted the refrigerator to glance downwards, and found that the spot where the air had been distorted had returned to normal, except for some frozen meat scattered all over the floor, leaving only the charred corpse that had been burned to a crisp. Fortunately, the incident occurred in the kitchen, and at the time, even the prison guards didnt have many options, so they fetched pots and pans to scoop up water to extinguish the flames on the corpse.

  That thing ran away! Sun Dawei took advantage of the chaos to search around. At this time, where can you still find that twisted shadow? On the contrary, the prison guard suspected that Sun Daweis actions were suspicious and hit him on the back with a baton. Just as he was about to strike again, someone kicked him from behind and said, "I told you its one of us, why did you attack?"

  The speaker was the warden, and when Sun Baozi had just shouted for his own people, he was already outside the door. Its just that when he came in, it happened to coincide with the old man under the refrigerator catching fire, and everyones attention was on the refrigerator, so no one noticed that the warden had arrived.

  In front of Sun Wu, the prison warden kicked him and the guards face was somewhat unbearable. He lowered his head and whispered: "Even if he is a real police officer, its not like he killed someone with a gun in the prison and then burned the body... Isnt this destroying evidence?"

  "Youre so talkative! Did you see him shoot just now?" The warden made a move to kick him again, but with so many people watching, he didnt want his subordinates to lose face, so he just gestured and continued, "And what about the fire earlier? When it started burning, he was over ten meters away. Were you all watching as he set the corpse on fire?"

  Although the prison chiefs words were not unrefutable, he was still in someone elses hands eating and mixing, so the prison guard hung his head and stopped speaking. The prison chief took the keys from the guard and personally came to unlock Sun Baozis handcuffs. Sun Baozi, who had regained his freedom, whispered in the prison chiefs ear: "Bring my people in and let your people leave."

  The warden looked at Sun Baozi and said with a bitter face: "Things have gotten so big, Im afraid its hard to contain..."

  His words were not yet finished, when they were interrupted by Sun Qians words. Sun Qian pointed at the charred remains still smoldering under the refrigerator and said: "Im not saying this, but if its late, it wont be something I can control. This is just the first one, then there will be the eleventh one, the hundred and first one..."

  Sun Baozis tenfold increase in coding, no one can bear it. When he just passed 100, the prison chiefs cold sweat came down. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned to his men, saying: "This case has now been transferred to Comrade Sun Desheng of the superior organ. You all withdraw first and return to your original posts to do your own things."

  These few words came out, and the expressions on the faces of all the prison guards were a bit strange. Now this surname Suns fat guy is the most suspicious, whether to avoid or not, lets put it aside for now. Can you hand over the entire case to him? The prison guard who gave Sun a slap just now whispered in a low voice: "Look, we handed over the scene to the suspect, and as soon as we left, he started destroying evidence."

  The warden saw that no one had any intention of leaving, and Sun Dawei was watching with a sideways glance. The wardens face turned slightly red, and he shouted again: "Didnt you all hear? You must leave immediately! Do I need to say it again?! If I have to say it for the third time, it wont be in this tone!" Seeing that the warden was really getting angry, the prison guards finally began to file out of the kitchen one by one.

  The warden was the last to leave the kitchen, leaving only Sun Baozi himself here. He first picked up his own pistol and then pulled a chair to sit down, staring straight at the charred corpse under the refrigerator. After not too long, the warden brought Xiao Shang and others in.

  Seeing such a scene, even the experienced Xiao He Shang frowned. Just now, the warden didnt explain clearly to him, so he had no choice but to find Sun Baozi and ask about the situation earlier. Even in this situation, he didnt forget to tease: "Little Baozi, who did you burn? Youre getting bolder, everyone knows how to fight back now, its not like before when you and Xiao Laizi were chased around together."

  "Its not me who said it, but can you run? I thought you couldnt run." Sun Baozis eyes fell on the charred corpse on the ground again, and he said in a bad tone: "Is this a prison? As long as I run out, Ill be covered in scars immediately." After saying these few sentences, he told Xiao Shang about what had just happened.

  When they were talking, Ximen and a few others had already lifted the refrigerator to examine the charred body. Xiao He Shang looked at the shape of the charred body and said: "How did a good person end up being burned like this?" As he said this, Xiao He Shang noticed that Sun Bao Zis expression was somewhat strange, so he turned his head and intentionally glanced at the prison warden who had brought them in.

  The warden understood Xiao Hes meaning and tactfully found an excuse to leave. After seeing the warden leave, Xiao He turned his gaze back to Sun Baozi and said: "Now that its just us, speak up if you have anything to say. If you dont, by the time the night watch starts, itll be too late to talk."

  Sun Baozi let out a sigh as he gazed at the charred corpse on the floor, saying: "This old guys name is Liu Cheng. After the dismemberment case, I investigated all the inmates and prison guards in Xiaobei Prison. The most suspicious one was this old fellow. There were no serious offenders in Xiaobei Prison, but Liu Cheng was an exception. When this prison was first built, he was locked up, but on the second day after his arrival, he tried to escape by climbing over the wall and fell, breaking his spine. He spent nearly thirty years bedridden. Its unknown what he ate, but a few years ago, he miraculously got out of bed due to his advanced age and slow pace, so the prison took care of him and gave him more freedom, letting him do some lighter tasks."

  Sun Wuzi paused for a moment, turned his head to glance at Xiao Heishan and said: "Originally this old guy was the most suspicious, now it seems that we have to start all over again."

  Xiao He Shang was halfway there, he didnt think too much about it, but he also didnt expect Sun Baozi to have done so much homework beforehand. Upon hearing this, Old Xiao Dashi also took a deep breath and suddenly thought of a question, asking Sun Baozi: "So how did Liu Cheng originally get in? Investigating this might reveal the whole story."

  Sun Baozi let out a rare bitter laugh and said to Xiao He Shang: "No one can find this out"
