Picking Up Fragments

Chapter 194 Playing the Fool

li shengxue searched for a few rounds but still couldn't find him, so she immediately went back to investigate the bar's surveillance. unfortunately, at the time, the police had already pointed all the surveillance cameras in the bar at liu chuang. when jiang siming rushed out of the glass counter, he was covering his face with both arms.

therefore, they couldn't see jiang siming's front face at all; they only knew that this person was very tall, about half a head taller than the 1.8-meter-tall liu chuang. "we must find this righteous folk expert; he must be a qigong master. otherwise, it would be impossible to break through double-layered tempered glass with his body; he's too amazing!" the chief, who arrived, said happily.

if it weren't for this person today, the situation might have gotten out of control. the chief was very interested in this folk 'qigong master' named jiang siming. "by the way, xiaoxue, i remember your grandfather was a qigong master. what level of practice do you think is required to achieve such strength?" li shengxue, who was in a daze, came back to her senses and explained, "oh, although my grandfather is a qigong master, i can assure you that he doesn't have such strength; this requires an extremely terrifying force."

"that's even better. with such a folk master, if we can introduce and meet him, we might have the chance to invite him to our police department as a coach. we must investigate this clearly," the chief said.

li shengxue thought for a moment and then said, "chief, i think if the person really wanted to meet us, he wouldn't have chosen to disappear after helping us. i think he doesn't want to reveal his identity. if that's the case, i suggest we stop looking, to avoid making him unhappy." the chief found her words reasonable and reluctantly agreed with li shengxue's suggestion in the end. the police packed up and left taxx. li shengxue sat in her police car, her mind in a fog, repeatedly recalling the black shadow she had seen while her eyes were closed, including the back view of the person as he left.

this person gave her a very familiar feeling, but li shengxue still dared not fully believe it. "xiao peng, give me the list of everyone in taxx tonight." li shengxue got out of the car and obtained the list of people in the bar tonight from a police officer. she carefully went through it, reading line by line, and finally saw a familiar name in one of the entries. "could it really be him?" li shengxue's thoughts grew bolder again, and she decided to verify it!

"xiao peng, tell the chief that i'm not feeling well and will go back first. hand over the interrogation to the second team." "ah, captain, since we caught liu chuang, the bureau will definitely have a celebration tonight. are you really not going to attend?" before xiao peng finished his question, li shengxue's car had already left the scene, heading towards lujiazui.

she drove all the way to the outside of jiang siming's luxurious residential complex. with her police id, the security guard let her through without any issues. li shengxue got out of the car and went to the outside of jiang siming's mansion, pressed the doorbell, but no one came to open the door, and there was no light on inside. "could he not be back yet? did he get injured?" thinking of this, li shengxue started to worry about him and hurriedly took out her phone to call the number she had saved for jiang siming.

but no one answered for a long time. jiang siming, who had taken a taxi all the way back, got out of the car and walked into the residential complex upon arriving at the entrance. he pulled down his long sleeves to cover the wounds and bandages on his arms. when the glass cabinet was hit, jiang siming was not unscathed. although there was nothing wrong with other parts, both of his arms were cut open.

"i was asleep. when i got up to go to the bathroom, i saw that you had called me several times. i checked the front gate and came to open it for you."

"you're not lying to me?" li shengxue stared intently into jiang siming's eyes. but with his natural acting talent, jiang siming remained calm and resolute, insisting he had no connection to taxx.

li shengxue looked at jiang siming's expression, which didn't seem to be lying, and her mood became a bit confused again. "you haven't told me what exactly happened yet," jiang siming asked innocently. your next journey awaits at empire

this made li shengxue even more certain that it wasn't jiang siming. she briefly explained to jiang siming what had happened at taxx tonight, and jiang siming wore a 'shocked' expression.

"there are actually such masters in this world! i thought officer li was already very impressive." li shengxue gave a bitter smile and said, "the world is big, and it's not surprising that there are many masters. i just know a bit of the basics; compared to this master, i am not even worth mentioning."

"does officer li like men who are stronger than her?" jiang siming suddenly asked. li shengxue blushed and nodded, saying, "this has been my wish ever since i started learning chinese martial arts. my future partner must be able to defeat me, but..."

"but what?"

"no... nothing..." li shengxue became somewhat flustered and said, "it's getting late, i'm really sorry to disturb mr. jiang's rest. shengxue will leave now. i'll have someone help you find your id card tomorrow."

"alright, thank you, officer li." jiang siming watched li shengxue leave before closing the door, shook his head, and sighed. he knew that the lies he told today had many loopholes, and li shengxue would find them out if she thought about it carefully after returning. moreover, once the surveillance footage of the guests entering taxx before liu chuang was retrieved, it would be clear that it was jiang siming himself. it was just a matter of time. he guessed that tomorrow, li shengxue and all the police in the station would know.
