Chapter 113 The Death of Han Chen

Hung Wan Seafood Restaurant, Mong Kok.

The private room was steaming hot, and the three round tables were full of people.

At Chen Fan's table sat Lu Qichang, Huang Zhicheng, Da Zui, Shui Gui, and Song Zijie and Ma Jun, whom he had brought with him.

Curry and chili.

Su Yulian sat to Chen Fan's right, with a bowl of stew in front of her. She was sipping the soup slowly, occasionally glancing up at the clinking of glasses on the table before looking down again.

Chili sat opposite, a salt and pepper mantis shrimp in her left hand and a steamed scallop with garlic in her right, her mouth stuffed full, and she didn't forget to make faces while pouring curry.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Curry moved half an inch to the side in disgust.

"I'm hungry."

Chili mumbled a reply and then grabbed a mantis shrimp.

Ma Jun sat next to Song Zijie, the two clinked glasses, and then each went silent.

Big Mouth wandered around the room with a wine glass in hand, drinking from one table to another, his smile never fading.

The water ghost sat firmly in his seat, downing every toast offered in one gulp before continuing to eat.

Lu Qichang sat in the main seat and clinked his wine glass with Chen Fan's.

"Afan, this toast is for you."

"Inspector Lu, I should be the one showing you respect."

"!"

Lu Qichang raised his hand to suppress the noise, "There aren't that many rules. I knew when you came out of Sham Shui Po that this kid would definitely amount to something. I didn't expect it to be so soon, he's an inspector."

"That's all thanks to you, Sir Lu, for recognizing my talent."

"The Zero Division is different from the Major Crimes Unit; we deal with triads more often, so sometimes we can't rush things."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Just keep an eye on Da Tou. There's no need to rush. He's just taken over and his position isn't stable yet. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we don't need to push him too hard."

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Perhaps because Da Tou was one of his men, the mission wasn't triggered this time.

"I see."

I trust you to do things right.

Lu Qichang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to the other side, "Old Huang, why don't you have a drink with Afan? What are you sitting there for?"

Huang Zhicheng sat at the end of the table, with a half-empty bottle of beer in front of him.

He didn't talk much tonight. He drank when others offered him a toast, and then just sat there without touching his chopsticks much.

Hearing Lu Qichang call him, Huang Zhicheng raised his head, his gaze falling on Chen Fan's face, before picking up his wine glass.

"Afan, congratulations."

"Thank you, Inspector Wong."

The two touched hands in mid-air and then each drank.

Lu Qichang glanced at Huang Zhicheng but said nothing.

Big Mouth sauntered over, holding a wine glass, and put his arm around Chen Fan's shoulder.

"Afan, please take care of me from now on!"

"Brother Zui, you're joking. You should be the one looking after me."

"Haha, let's look out for each other, let's look out for each other!"

Big Mouth tilted his head back and downed his drink in one gulp, then swayed and walked to the next table.

When no one was paying attention, Chili leaned close to Chen Fan's ear and whispered.

"Brother Fan, that Inspector Huang seems a bit off today."

"Eat yours."

Chen Fan picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into his bowl.

Chili sheepishly shut her mouth and buried her head in eating the shrimp dumpling.

Su Yulian quietly refilled Chen Fan's tea and winked at him.

Chen Fan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Brother Fan, I've had a bit too much to drink. Could you take me home tonight?"

Su Yulian's face was flushed.

"I can give you a ride, but you can't take me upstairs."

Chen Fan said expressionlessly.

Su Yulian immediately pouted and stuffed the food in front of her into her mouth, chewing it fiercely.

Just then, Huang Zhicheng's phone, which was face down on the table, vibrated.

He picked it up, glanced at the screen, frowned slightly, and then got up and went outside the private room to receive it.

Chen Fan caught a glimpse of this scene but didn't pay it any mind, continuing to eat and drink with the others.

until...

A few minutes later, Huang Zhicheng rushed in.

"Lao Lu, it's a big deal!"

"What's so big..."

Lu Qichang wanted to say something witty, but he was stunned when he saw his old friend's expression.

"What happened?"

"Han Chen... is dead!"

Huang Zhicheng said with a solemn expression, "Just now, he was having dinner with his wife when he was murdered in the restaurant."

"A feud within the martial arts world?"

Lu Qichang slowly put down his chopsticks and bowl, but his expression was not very strong.

"You gangster, you're bound to end up like this sooner or later. What do you plan to do about it?"

"First, send people to keep an eye on the triads in Tsim Sha Tsui and prevent them from causing trouble. Also, I plan to meet with Ni Yongxiao."

Huang Zhicheng had clearly prepared his answer beforehand. "In addition, I heard from eyewitnesses at the scene that the one who killed Han Chen was a monster. He was unarmed and fought his way up to the second floor with his bare hands, and no one could stop him."

"Han Chen didn't steal it?"

Lu Qichang raised an eyebrow and asked.

That's why they call him a monster.

Huang Zhicheng's expression was grave: "Witnesses said that the guy was shot in the chest, but he was completely unharmed."

"Are you sure you're not wearing a bulletproof vest?"

"no."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Qichang slowly frowned, then, as if remembering something, turned to Chen Fan and asked, "Fan, what are your thoughts?"

"If we rule out the superhuman option, the killer must have practiced an extremely terrifying form of hard qigong."

After a moment's thought, Chen Fan decided to tell the truth.

The system notified me the instant I received the news of the death.

[The mission has changed; all five tigers of Tsim Sha Tsui are dead.]

[Target changed: Investigate the person who hired the killer and bring them to trial]

[Final reward increased by 100%]

It's no longer an arrest, but a trial.

This is a change that occurred after the V event.

"Hard qigong? Afan, are you kidding me?"

Lu Qichang was somewhat skeptical.

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then picked up a chopstick from the table and flicked it with his finger.

It seemed like a light, effortless movement, but it shattered the sturdy bamboo chopstick into several pieces.

"Inspector Lu, do you know Zhu Yeqing of Hehetu? Although she is a woman, her skills are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"Bamboo Leaf Green... If what you said, Afan, is true, then this matter is indeed quite troublesome."

Lu Qichang's previously calm expression turned serious.

Huang Zhicheng had no patience to listen to these things and told his men at the other two tables to prepare to leave.

"Old Lu, I'll take some men over there to check the situation first. Come over when you're done eating."

"Why are we still eating? Let's go together."

Lu Qichang shook his head, his face showing disappointment.

"Damn it, they won't even let me have some peace after I'm dead."

"I'll go too."

Chen Fan spoke up.

"No, the Ni family's case has nothing to do with you. Just keep an eye on the big picture."

Lu Qichang patted his shoulder, then lowered his voice and said, "You brat, I know you mean well, but sometimes you can't do things like this. People will have opinions."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately fell silent.

"Alright, Officer Lu, be careful."

"Um."

After Lu Qichang finished speaking, he looked at Chili and the others who were staring at him with amusement on their faces.

"What are you looking at? Don't worry, even if I'm leaving, I'll pay the bill first."

"Ahem, what are you saying, Inspector Lu..."

"Can we order more food?"

"Get lost!"
