Chapter 350 Why do You Have a Guilty Conscience
Soon after Fu Zhengzheng and Han Siqi get home for a rest, Fu Zhengzheng's phone rings. She gropes for the phone and sees the call is from Ji Muxian, so she answers it at once.

“You've got home?”

“Yes.”

“How do you feel?”

“We're fine.”

“Good.” Suddenly Ji Muxian changes the topic, “Was the key kept by you all the time?”

“Yes. After I got the key and checked it, I put it together with the map. Why? Is there something wrong?”

“Their key is a modeled one.”

“What?” Fu Zhengzheng is shocked, “How can it be possible?!”

She checked it carefully!

“It's highly modeled, so it's normal that you didn't see through it.”

“But I'm sure the key I saw the first time was true! Please interrogate the thin and tall man right now. He must know the whereabouts of the true key!”

“He is dead.”

“Dead? When? How?” Fu Zhengzheng feels shocked again.

“You and Siqi must have heard the explosion under the bridge. The minibus you took exploded. Two persons died in it, including the thin man contacting you. He probably waited in the minibus for the guys attacking you to take him the trap map. He didn't think we would appear so fast. He knew what he did had been brought to light, so he killed themselves by explosion.”

“Have the men you caught offered useful information?”

“No. They were hired by the thin man. He told them to stun both of you and take one thing from you. They know nothing else.”

Fu Zhengzheng feels regretful again, “The man is the key person. Now he is dead. The clue is broken again, isn't it?”

“Not exactly. Now that he could make so detailed arrangement, it's impossible that no one helped him behind. We've known the man's appearance features and are investigating his identity. So long as his detailed identity is found out, many doubts may be solved. Have a good sleep. I'll contact you if there is new information.”

Fu Zhengzheng hangs up the phone and tells Han Siqi what Ji Muxian told her on the phone.

“How could the key be fake? He gave me the brocade bag twice tonight. I checked carefully and thought nothing was wrong.”

Han Siqi thinks for a while, and then his eyes light up suddenly, “The true key has a slight scratch. It's the judgement criterion. Did you see it clearly tonight?”

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng feels frustrated instantly, “I sat in the backseat. The light in the car wasn't bright enough, so I couldn't see it clearly. But the shape of the key looked the same, so I didn't think much.”

“It's not that you didn't think much. You had judged it's true in your heart. Now that he intended to fool you, he couldn't let you see through the flaw.” Han Siqi comforts his wife.

“No wonder he asked us to check the key in the car.” Fu Zhengzheng feels more frustrated, “We worked hard and took a big risk at midnight. But we failed to get the key and find the coffer. Besides, the suspect died. What we did tonight is in vain.”

“It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for everything. Apparently, he didn't intend to take you to the coffer really. Perhaps he didn't know where the coffer was. He is only a chessman of another person.”

“I know he is only a chessman, but now he is dead, so the person behind him is still mysterious. You know, he is watching behind us. After the police operation, our intention had been exposed in front of him completely. It will be very difficult to draw him out again.”

“If he wants to get the coffer, he will definitely try to obtain the trap map in other ways. Darling, these analyses should be left to Muxian and his teammates. If we finish them, won't they have nothing to do and thus become bored stiff?” Han Siqi holds Fu Zhengzheng, “What we should do now is to catch up on sleep and refresh ourselves.”

Fu Zhengzheng nods. Then they embrace each other and fall asleep.

They sleep till noon of the next day.

When Fu Zhengzheng wakes up, Han Siqi is not in the room. She guesses he has gone to the company, so she doesn't ask. Then she rises slowly and washes.

After she washes and changes clothes, she receives a call from Zhang Lin to ask about her health.

It comes to Fu Zhengzheng's mind that she hasn't asked the director for a leave. But hearing Zhang Lin's question, she guesses the director must have told Zhang Lin that she is on sick leave. She explains briefly to Zhang Lin and says she will go to work this afternoon. Zhang Lin feels relieved to hear that, says “See you this afternoon” and then hangs up the phone.

She goes downstairs to have lunch and then drives to the police office.

When she gets to the police office, it's not yet the attendance time. She calls Yang Tao. He says he is in the office, so she goes straight there.

When she enters Yang Tao's office, his hair still has water drops because he just washed the face.

“I was sleepy, so I took a nap.” Yang Tao signals Fu Zhengzheng to sit down with a smile.

Fu Zhengzheng feels sympathetic to look at the cold dish in a china bowl on the table and Yang Tao's eyes which are full of blood streaks.

Yang Tao understands Fu Zhengzheng's facial expression and explains lightly with a smile, “I guess Menghuai brought me the food. Actually, I'm not hungry but just sleepy.”

Fu Zhengzheng picks up the china bowl and goes out.

“Hey, Zhengzheng!” Yang Tao rushes over, stops her and snatches the bowl from her, “Let me heat it myself.”

The microwave is in the outer tearoom.

“Take a rest. Leave it to me.” Fu Zhengzheng snatches the bowl back.

Yang Tao doesn't agree, “No. If the colleagues see, they will misunderstand. If it's spread out, you will be affected.”

Because of the key, Han Siqi always stays with Fu Zhengzheng these two days. Many colleagues have known she is the third daughter-in-law of Han family. Since then, she will be well-known in the police office. Therefore, he should keep an appropriate distance from her. He doesn't care about himself. However, he is afraid that someone with ulterior motives will have something on her and spread gossip about her so as to affect her life.

Then Yang Tao snatches the bowl again. At this moment, the office door is opened. They are both startled and loosen their hands simultaneously at once. With a crack, the china bowl drops on the floor and is broken. The food inside the bowl spills out.

He Menghuai, who just entered, is also startled by the scene. Looking at Fu Zhengzheng and Yang Tao who look like frightened swallows under eave, he closes the door instantly and goes to fetch a broom and a dustpan.

“It seems that I shouldn't have come at that moment.” He teases while sweeping the floor.

Yang Tao, who felt embarrassed just now, sees He Menghuai come in and sighs with relief. Without complaining to He Menghuai, he signals Fu Zhengzheng to make way for He Menghuai to sweep the floor. Then he gives her some tissues to wipe the rice grains from her shoes.

Fu Zhengzheng takes the tissues, looks at the garbage on the floor and says worriedly, “The food has been overturned. What will you eat? How about ordering takeaway?”

“Never mind. I will go out on business soon and can grab a bite on the way.”

“Well, don't be affectionate here. If Xiaoyue sees, she will cry at home. If Han Siqi sees, he will possibly dismantle the police office.” He Menghuai says and signals them to step aside with the broom.

Yang Tao flushes and criticizes him, “Don't talk nonsense! Zhengzheng is my sister now. Our relationship is pure.”

But Fu Zhengzheng doesn't take it to heart. She rolls her eyes at He Menghuai and then turns around to comfort Yang Tao, “Don't take what he says to heart. He doesn't know how to talk nicely.”

He Menghuai grins, “I remind you out of kindness. After all, you once bore Zhengzheng in your mind for many years. Others will misunderstand easily.”

“Shut up!” Fu Zhengzheng pretends to kick him.

He Menghuai leaps away quickly and takes out the garbage with a grin.

But Yang Tao takes what He Menghuai said on heart. He says seriously to Fu Zhengzheng, “Actually, what Menghuai said is reasonable. We'd better stay alone as little as possible in order not to…”

“Enough. The more eager you are to keep away from me, the more apparently you're telling others that you have a guilty conscience, right? We are open and aboveboard. What are you afraid of? Besides, you've got Xiaoyue as your girlfriend. Shouldn't your heart be more open? Moreover, even Siqi doesn't care and takes you as a friend. What do you care?”

Of course, Fu Zhengzheng understands that Yang Tao wants to protect her, but she still can't help restraining herself from lecturing him.

Embarrassed by what she says, Yang Tao smiles and looks relaxed at once.

When Fu Zhengzheng sees Yang Yao become relaxed, Fu Zhengzheng feels relaxed too. She sits down and asks smilingly, “Is there progress about what happened these two days?”

“Yes.”

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng straightens her body and waits for his explanation expectantly.

“The man contacting you is named Yao Jun. He was once a business manager of a company affiliated to Rongsheng. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer before the Spring Festival. The doctor concluded he could only survive for less than half a year.”

“It's related to Rongsheng again! No wonder he always coughed. He looked so bony that I thought he was addicted to drugs. Now that he was dying, why did he take interest in the coffer instead of hurrying to treat his disease? Wait, Yao Jun is only a chessman obviously. It's very dangerous to be involved into the case.” Fu Zhengzheng thinks and adds, “He wanted to make money for his wife and children before his death?”

Yang Tao nods and says, “What you said makes sense. We have the same speculation. Once finding out his identity, we went to look for his wife and only one-year-old son. But they disappeared.”

“Were they moved away secretly?”

“It's also impossible that they were given a large sum of money. We're looking for them. After they are found, the case may have progress. Now, more and more evidence point to Rongsheng. We're carrying out further investigations.” Yang Tao looks at Fu Zhengzheng and then changes the topic, “Zhengzheng, you and Mr. Han were frightened last night.”

Fu Zhengzheng waves and says, “Don't always call him Mr. Han. You can call him Siqi. He will be glad to hear that. Last night, fortunately, Muxian and the teammates appeared in time, or I would have to burden a greater responsibility, because I not only failed to get the key and find the coffer but also lost the trap map.”

When Yang Tao looks at Fu Zhengzheng rejoicing at a stroke of luck, he opens his mouth but swallows the words back from the tip of his tongue.
