UNSOLVED CASES-[M2]
One rainy and stormy morning, on the thirtieth of July, twenty- twenty, the three friends, Lin Aiguo, Zhang Wei and Xiao Yin, along with Lin Aiguo’s little disciple Li Xiu Ying, were in their little private office in one of China’s most secretive police stations, having a chat about their recent cases, while sipping cups of warm coffee, when suddenly…
When Li Xiu Ying looked out of the window. He had seen a young man, on his knees, in the soaking rain, in front of the station’s main doors. That day, the police station’s power line had been cut, no policeman had left the station, the rain was loud enough to muffle the sound of hopeless raps on the door and the station’s doors were made of wood, so it was quite sensible that no one had noticed the helpless man outside. When Li Xiu Ying spotted him, the police immediately took the man (whose name was soon known to be Ming LiuLiong) into the police station, gave him some warm clothes to wear, and then poured him some hot coffee. The man seemed to be very tired and restless so chief superintendent, Li Ying let him rest on the sofa while the rest of the police cuddled up in the three friends’ private office. “Xiu Ying, wonderful of you, to have found him outside, or he would have died out there. When your sister knows…” Chief Li Ying began. “Father, don’t talk nonsense. Sister Sying is in America, why would she praise me for such an obvious action,” Li Xiu Ying snapped. The chief superintendent cleared his throat and the rest of the police gasped. There was silence for around a minute until a police woman burst into the room with news that Ming LiuLiong had woken up. “Five of you, come with me,” Chief Li Ying beckoned five policemen to accompany him in finding out the cause of Ming LiuLiong’s sudden visit and left the room. Soon, when all policemen cleared out, leaving only the three friends and Li Xiu Ying, who had now made the three friends, four friends, in their office, Xiao Yin didn’t miss his chance of asking, “You called chief superintendent, father?”
“Yeh… He’s my father.”
Lin Aiguo dissolved the abrupt answer with a little saying that he had created by himself, “When one asks, the other answers.” “Everyone knows that,” Zhang Wei corrected. “I know. I just wanted to break up the tense atmosphere.”
Soon, the four friends were called to the meeting room to discuss about the new found case, brought to the station by Ming LiuLiong. By that time the power had come back on and the storm had stopped. Everything was back to normal.
The chief superintendent was probably too shy to face his little son at...
