"Officer Wen, Officer Yang..." Su He tried to sit up, but his head felt dizzy.
Wen Jie walked over and supported Su He while Yang Lin handed a cup of hot water to Su He.
"Thank you." Su He took a sip of water, then quietly waited to be questioned.
"Why don't you tell us what happened first," Wen Jie sat in a chair while Yang Lin took out a voice recorder and placed it in front of Su He, while also preparing to take minutes.
"At that time I took an order to deliver to Rongde Building..." Su He described the whole thing again. After listening, Officer Wen asked in puzzlement: "You said you already knew there was a corpse under the sheet, so why did you still agree to the other party's request to feed the corpse? Is that also within the scope of a delivery person's work?"
"At that time, I thought Mr. Zhao was an animal lover. He must have been very sad that his pet died... Mainly because he gave too much money. Ah!" Su He sighed. Usually one food delivery order is only a few yuan, but Mr. Zhao gave a 200 yuan tip. If it was a livestreamer, at least you'd have to give the top fan some attention, right?
Wen Jie got up and helped Su He lie back down again, instructing: "This time there is evidence proving you are unrelated. You're quite unlucky. Rest well, don't rush to be discharged. The doctor said if you get hit two more times, who knows which time you might not wake up."
Su He showed a wry smile. In that situation, it was almost like watching a horror movie. How could he have paid attention to the wall behind him?
Officers Wen and Yang prepared to leave. Seeing this, Su He couldn't help asking: "Has the murderer been caught?"
Officer Wen shook his head with a laugh: "The chain of evidence in this case is very clear. The identity of the murderer has also been confirmed. We are currently making every effort to arrest them. Okay, I can't reveal any more details to you. Rest well, we are leaving first."
"Officer Wen, my phone?" Su He hurriedly asked.
"Little Yang, have someone send Su He's phone over."
Su He lay in bed and soon fell into a daze.
The next morning, Su He was awakened by the sound of a phone ringing. Picking up his cell phone, he saw it was a call from Ma Mingzhe.
"Hello, Brother Ma."
"Su He, not bad! Staying out all night, you were at the wealthy lady's house overnight, huh? You sound quite weak. Be honest, how many times did you go last night?" Ma Mingzhe's sleazy voice came over. Alongside were the indistinct voices of Pan Zhigang and Dong Yong.
"Maybe seven or eight times...wasn't in top condition." Su He said lightly with a smile.
"Blow it out your ear! Do you think you're me?!" Dong Yong's voice rang out.
"C'mon, enough nonsense..." Pan Zhigang urged on the side.
"Su He, you're hiding well! Showing up on TV, now your videos are all over the internet. When did you get so awesome, beating some military academy coach into the ground? Last time when you fought with those Deliveroo guys, you were shrieking and howling..."
Su He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to say: "The TV studio recordings are all staged and pre-rehearsed for the sake of the program effect."
"I see, so that's how it is. I said how could a skinny guy like you suddenly become some martial arts master... Oh right, next time there's a good gig like this, bring us along. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next viral hit."
"Alright, gotta go...Oh by the way, I'm going back home for a few days. Don't miss me too much!"
"Piss off!"
Ma Mingzhe hung up. Su He opened WeChat on his phone. In the "Top Fan Exchange" group, he had been tagged by Ma Mingzhe many times already. Ma Mingzhe had posted several screenshots of Su He on the TV program, looking very handsome in each one. With every pic he posted, he had to curse the animal.
In the main delivery worker group chat, some people were also discussing Su He. But it was just a bunch of sour lemons making crude remarks, saying things like Su He was being kept by a wealthy lady from the TV station. Looking closely, it was Wu Xiaodong.
Opening a short video app, several friends had already forwarded videos to him so he didn't even need to search. He casually tapped one open.
"Delivery Guy KOs Military Academy Coach in 5 Seconds, Women's Self-Defense Is Just a Joke"
The explosive title already had over a million likes. Comments and reshares were also over a hundred thousand.
In the video, a handsome delivery guy fought an imposing military academy coach. It seemed like a lopsided match, but a dramatic scene occurred. The military academy coach was repelled several times continuously by the delivery guy, until the final clash knocked him back and even knocked out two of his teeth.
In fact, Su He and Zhang Meng's bout lasted only a few seconds before ending. One didn't get the feeling the delivery guy was that awesome, especially the final headbutt to strike the military academy coach. That move elicited curses from not a few people directly.
They said the delivery guy was unscrupulous, using sneak attacks, while the military academy coach was careless for not dodging.
The comments were mainly divided into three types of people: one group rushed in for Su He's looks; the second group debated whether or not women's self-defense skills were actually useful; the third group consisted mainly of martial arts coaches indignantly denouncing Su He for lacking martial ethics.
Of course there were also no small number of spectators who were amazed that the delivery ranks kept producing such talents. Anyway, Su He was indeed trending.
However, as he never showed his face, the online hubbub didn't really impact him no matter how huge it became.
After watching for a while, Su He felt dizzy again. He turned off his phone. Soon after he fell asleep.
At noon, incredibly, Liu Wen personally delivered a meal to Su He.
"Officer Liu, how can I accept? I hit my head myself this time. There's a cafeteria downstairs. I can manage myself."
Liu Wen wore a police uniform and set the food on the table. She said severely: "The case of the woman's corpse in the parking garage is still under active investigation. The suspect has not been arrested. You are an important witness and are currently under police protection."
She then smiled and continued: "And we're friends now... I can't come see how you're doing when you're injured with no one to look after you on my lunch break?"
"Friends...hehe, then of course you can come, Officer Liu. Have you eaten?" Seeing four bowls of rice on the table, Su He was momentarily dumbfounded.
Seeing Su He's astonished expression, Liu Wen giggled: "I was worried you wouldn't get full so I ordered extra."
"Thank you, Officer Liu. Have some too." Su He picked up a bowl and handed it to Liu Wen. Only then did he notice there was only one pair of chopsticks.
"I already ate. Hurry up while it's still hot."
Liu Wen sat watching Su He eat. He ate noisily and quickly, but didn't seem unpleasant about it. Instead, he made the food look delicious.
Aiya, I'm also attracted by his looks... Liu Wen thought to herself.
"Su He, eat slower. No one's going to snatch your food. Be careful not to choke."
"Hehe...I'm used to it. Officer Liu, you don't know how hard we delivery guys work. Often we don't get a single hot bite down. Even when we eat, we're still staring at the phone hoping to grab an order. If we don't get one, fine; but if we do, we can't even finish eating before having to rush out again. By the time we're back, the food's already cold."
"Of course you police have it hard too. Now murders pop up all the time. Facing those extremely wicked and mentally twisted criminals, police are on the frontlines risking their lives at any time. You are the truly great ones!"
"Su He, not even four bowls can shut your mouth. I'm bringing you a rice cooker tomorrow."
"Hehe, oh right, Officer Liu, so why did the killer murder his girlfriend anyway?"
