S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 1. An Innocent Murderer: Chapter 04. Countless Ties

Bai Chi rushed home before the heavy rain fell. He opened the door and saw Zhao Zhen and Li Siben lying on the sofa in the living room, dying of hunger.

"Chi Chi ~" Zhao Zhen jumped up and hugged Bai Chi. "I'm so hungry."

Li Siben also smelt the fragrance and rubbed Bai Chi's legs like a cat.

Bai Chi sighed. He first put Li Siben's share on the ground to let it eat first. Bai Chi sighed again when he saw Li Siben happily eating. Then, Bai Chi touched its fur and said, "The next time you are hungry, you might as well eat Zhao Zhen..."

"You are so cruel." Zhao Zhen fiddled with the fried dumplings and fried rice in the lunch box with a pair of chopsticks and said lifelessly, "Chi Chi, I haven't eaten good food for a long time. Don't always give me a lunch box. I want to eat a big meal made by you."

"I can't..." Bai Chi poured a glass of water and sat down, "There is a big case recently."

"Another case?" Zhao Zhen stuffed a dumpling into his mouth and chewed it. "Why are there so many perverts in this city? What is the case this time?"

"Um...This case is quite perverted." Bai Chi laid down on the table and watched Zhao Zhen eat. Bai Chi said in his heart that this person was indeed rich. He looked so elegant even while gobbling up fried dumplings. After thinking about it, Bai Chi said, "Have you not been performing recently?"

"I have..." Zhao Zhen picked up a fried dumpling and stuffed it into Bai Chi's mouth. "There will be one in two days."

"Are you going abroad?" Bai Chi asked.

"No, it's in this city. Tianyu Entertainment City is holding a magic week. I will do the final performance and be a judge for their magic competition."

"Tianyu Entertainment City..." Bai Chi touched his chin and asked, "You don't seem to attend these types of events very much, yet now you are even going to be a judge."

"That's right." Zhao Zhen stuffed his mouth and nodded. "I am an international superstar. The appearance fee is very expensive, so only a few events can afford me."

"Is the price offered by Tianyu very good?" Bai Chi asked.

"En." Zhao Zhen nodded. "It scared the agent. I have to sell myself in order to make a living."

Cough cough...Bai Chi choked on the water and glared at Zhao Zhen. "Don't talk nonsense."

"It's not nonsense." Zhao Zhen smiled, "The boss of Tianyu is a woman. She almost drooled when she saw me."

"Re...Really? " Bai Chi was a little nervous. Then why are you still going?!"

Zhao Zhen could not help but laugh at Bai Chi's panicked face and said deliberately, "It's not bad. She's a very beautiful woman and is walking down the sexy road. She has a good figure, and she has money."

Bai Chi was silent for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhen's untouched fried rice. "I'm not giving it to you to eat anymore!" With that, he went over and gave all the fried rice to Li Siben, then turned around to go take a shower.

Zhao Zhen, with his chopsticks in his mouth, looked at Li Siben's delicious food and took a long sigh. 'Ugh, that damn child. Not only am I not allowed to eat people, I am now not even allowed to eat food. I am afraid there are no other international superstars like me'.

When Bai Chi walked out while wiping his hair after taking a bath, he saw Zhao Zhen lying on the table reading a magazine, looking a little pale. While Li Siben, who was next to his feet, burped and licked its paws to wash its face. Bai Chi turned soft-hearted. He suddenly noticed that Zhao Zhen seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently.

After he thought about it, Bai Chi ended up going into the kitchen to cook some noodles for Zhao Zhen. He added eggs, green vegetables and two slices of ham. Bai Chi put the delicious noodles in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen immediately beamed and began to eat the bowl of noodles while hugging it in his arms.

"Why do you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently?" Bai Chi asked Zhao Zhen while he sat on the sofa and combed Li Siben.

"Um...I am trying to lose weight." Zhao Zhen said while he ate the noodles.

"You are already so thin. Why still lose weight?" Bai Chi was puzzled.

"I need it for a new magic." Zhao Zhen spoke casually. "Therefore, I've been scuba diving during the day."

"Scuba diving?" Bai Chi walked over, reached out and opened Zhao Zhen's sleeve. Then, stared at Zhao Zhen carefully for a moment. "You've really lost a lot of weight," he said. "What kind of magic is it that you need to lose weight like this?"

"Ah..." Zhao Zhen smiled and said mysteriously, "I'm the only one in the world who can do this magic."

Bai Chi was curious and asked, "What is it?"

Zhao Zhen said half-jokingly and half seriously, "It's a secret. I have not told anyone...I will only tell my lover. Do you want to be my lover? "

"Tsk..." Bai Chi picked up the bowl and chopsticks, then whispered, "If you don't want to say it then forget it. Why so mysterious?" With that, he went to the kitchen to wash the bowl, leaving Zhao Zhen to sit alone in the living room feeling a little disappointed. After a while, he sighed. The slightly spoiled and helplessly him scolded, "Little fool." After Zhao Zhen left the table, he pounced onto Li Siben, who was getting fatter and fatter. "Why are you getting fatter every day? You don't look like a lion. You even wash your face after eating. I'm going to change your name to Garfield!"
