Big news!
The next day!
A piece of news appeared on several big websites. Countless viewers saw the news and were instantly stunned.
“The Shanghai police has finally cracked the 1997 ‘Family Massacre’. The two suspects murdered the boss of a hotel and his family of four for money. At that time, this incident caused a severe social impact. As of now, the case has been cracked. According to Inspector Liu, who handled this case, the suspect, Liu Bing (Alias: Liu Biao), surrendered himself voluntarily and also revealed the other suspect, Huang Jun. Before dawn, Huang Jun has been apprehended by the local police in Lianzhou and the case has finally ended. And according to reporters who interviewed Liu Biao, they obtained information of a shocking incident…”
The content of the article was long but the information shook the hearts of many people.
The netizens were in an intense discussion.
“F*ck, this is amazing. After being on the run for twelve years, one became a writer and the other one became an entrepreneur with immense wealth. Just how the heck did this happen?”
“That’s not the main point. The important part is that Liu Biao said that while he was having his back scrubbed at the bathhouse last night, he suddenly figured it out because of the scrub and decided to surrender himself. Even the phone number of the inspector he surrendered to was given by the back scrubber.”
“D*mn, why does this sound like a fictional story?”
“Which bathhouse’s back-scrubber is so awesome? To be able to scrub awake a suspect who has been on the run for twelve years, that’s too perverse, isn’t it?”
“Awesome.”
“Elder Zeng’s Bath Centre. This is the one.”
The netizens kept discussing intensely. They expressed limitless shock towards this incident. To them, this seemed impossible. However, they had to believe it. The police had chased the suspects for twelve years to no avail but now, one of the suspects got awoken by a back-scrubber. Who would believe something like this?
…
The detainment room!
Liu Biao was sitting there with a relaxed expression on his face.
A policeman asked, “You feel at ease now?”
Liu Biao nodded, “Yes, I’m at ease now. I’ve never felt so at ease in these past twelve years.”
This had been an unresolved case for a long time. Now that it had been cracked, it was a joyous occasion. Not only had the culprits been apprehended, but the victims have also received justice and could finally rest in peace.
The policeman said, “You’ve been running for twelve years. Why did you suddenly turn yourself in?”
Liu Biao shook his head, “I don’t know either. I didn’t have such thoughts at first but last night, I was having a bath at a bath center and there was a Little Bro there. When he scrubbed my back, I suddenly felt that I should turn myself in, so I did.”
The policemen all looked at each other as they felt that this was very strange. He got scrubbed into turning himself in? Who would believe such a thing?
The policeman asked once more, “Are you serious?”
Liu Biao nodded, “Yes, I’m serious. That’s really what happened.
Liu Xiao Tian, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke, “Who gave you my phone number?”
Liu Biao replied, “That back-scrubbing Little Bro. He said his surname was Lin.”
When he heard the surname ‘Lin’, Liu Xiao Tian immediately knew who it was. The surrounding policemen had an idea too. The only person who was familiar with Inspector Liu and had the surname ‘Lin’ was Master Lin.
But this was strange too. Why was Master Lin working as a back-scrubber in a bathhouse?
…
Lin Fan looked at today’s news and smiled to himself. He had never thought that he would be on the news once again. Although no names were mentioned and nobody knew it was him, knowing it himself was enough.
To make a murderer, who had been on the run for twelve years, turn himself in was not a bad thing.
Liu Xiao Tian’s call came.
“Master Lin, you’ve been amazing once again,” Liu Xiao Tian sighed.
He should have found out that it was Lin Fan the previous day but because this matter was a severe once, Liu Xiao Tian immediately arranged for the trials without asking too much. He had been busy finding out who the other culprit was. After much hard work, they had finally captured the other culprit at the airport. That was how this case was cracked.
Lin Fan smiled. “It was alright. You’ve captured the other one already, right?”
Liu Xiao Tian replied, “Yes, we’ve captured him. But what I want to ask is, why did you become a back-scrubber at a bathhouse?”
Of course, Lin Fan couldn’t say that it was to complete a task. So he said cheerily, “No particular reason. I’m just experiencing life. How is it? I scrubbed the conscience out of a murderer and made him surrender himself. Do I deserve a Good Citizen Award?”
Liu Xiao Tian laughed, “That’s definitely not a problem. Let’s talk later. The Station Chief is calling me.”
After hanging up, Liu Xiao Tian shook his head. This person, Master Lin, was way too mysterious.
…
The forums were buzzing with activity.
“D*mn, he became famous. Did you all see the news today? That culprit had looked for the young man to get a back scrub. After being scrubbed, he went to turn himself in. That’s really mysterious.
“Now I’m really curious. I have to go and look for this back-scrubber tonight.”
“Enough talk. Tonight, he’ll definitely be having many customers. That Little Bro from this bathhouse has been very popular lately. I have to go and try it too.”
Nighttime.
The front desk service staff, Xiao He, looked at the situation before her and was absolutely dumbfounded.
The bathhouse was as crowded as a marketplace and they had run out of private rooms. A group of people sat on the sofa in the lounge.
“Is there any private room yet? We’re all waiting here.”
“Yeah! Why are there so little rooms?”
“Where did you all come from? I’m an old customer here. The back-scrubbers here are first-rate but even so, word shouldn’t have spread so quickly.”
Xiao He slowly watched from the side. “Once there are spaces, I’ll immediately make arrangements for you all.”
On a certain food street.
A hawker stall.
“Boss Zeng, have you considered what I said? I can make arrangements for the people. We’ll split the profits nine to one. Nine for me and one for you. Don’t say that you’re not getting enough money. You have to know that the workers will all be mine, so I’m taking a risk as well. Moreover, it’ll carry your bathhouse forward as well,” said a skinny man.
He was the man in charge of the prostitutes, the brothel-keeper. And he was currently discussing this matter with Elder Zeng.
Elder Zeng was hesitant. Recently, his mind had been in a mess because of this matter. He kept thinking about whether he should do it. After all, once he decided, there was no turning back.
The skinny man saw that Elder Zeng was still considering. He smiled and said, “Boss Zeng, you can consider but you have to know that in this line of work, we are very busy. There are countless bathhouses that want to work with us. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be a second one. According to you, your bathhouse only has twenty to thirty customers a day. That’s not even enough to earn back your daily rent.”
Elder Zeng nodded, “I know that but I…sigh, okay then.”
The skinny man said with a smile, “Alright then, let’s go to your shop first to have a look. Some of the decorations inside need to be changed and some hidden doors need to be installed. How many bathhouses do you think there are now that don’t do things like this? Those bathhouses simply cannot last for long.”
Zeng Wei didn’t say much else. The skinny man was right. That was indeed the case.
Zeng Wei didn’t want to do this but he had no choice. He was forced to do it.
If he was to be caught by the police, he might be done for.
But if he did not introduce these things, in this current industry, he would surely be done for.
At this moment, all he could do was take the crooked path and bet his all on it.
