THE WITNESS {YIZHAN} (COMPLETED ✅✅)

16 COOPERATION

Yibo took a journey to jog ,back to the club where Zhan work at. He saw the people from the club started to leave. Some of them look sober, but a lot of them came out drunk and walk staggeringly. They filled the street, mixed up with the people who started their activities in the morning, diluted with the street vendor  who brought their goods, the vegetable vendor rolled on with their pick up trucks. The empty road he saw last night, now becomes packed with the heterogeneous.

"I want that girl! He has to accompany me when I come here next time!!" A man in his 40s shouted while drunk. A younger man escorted him from the club.

Yibo observed the man from afar. And he was taken aback and pulled his cap down. He walked to the vendor who selling the snacks at the roadside.

"How many do you want?" The seller asked him.

Yibo startled. His gaze turned to the street snacks seller. He looked at the thing that the man was selling.

"What's that?' Yibo asked the man.

His eyes kept glancing to the club entrance where the man still rambling. A mature woman from the club seemed to try to talk and comfort him.

"Vegetable roll," replied the man.

"Ok. Give me three pieces," said Yibo without turning his eyes from the club.

The man who escorted the drunk man brought him to a car that parked on the roadside and brings him away from the area.

"I don't know he likes to go and hang around in this kind of budget clubs..." Yibo muttered to himself.

"This would be 5 yuan!" Said the seller, giving him a food paper bag.

Yibo took the bag and paid it.

After the club's area cleared up by the visitors who leave the club, Yibo walked briskly approaching the club. He stopped in front of the alley where the murder had committed. He stared at the Police lines that drawn blocking the way and the chalk-drawn of where the body has found.

Yibo got into the crime scene and walked around the narrow and dark alley, hopping that he'll find something that will giving him any clues about the murder.

Cling! Tingtingting!

The faint sound of a metal object rolled away when accidentally Yibo kicked it off. Yibo turned to the sound. From the light that shone from the lamp post, Yibo saw the shiny small object. He approached the object and crouched down to pick it up. A metal button.

"So,.the killer is the same person linked to the other hostess' murder...." Yibo talked in his thought.

He put the button into his tracking pants' pocket, then he got out of the scene and jogged again to the way home.

Zhan opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling. His hands rubbed on the side on the bed. The bed was bigger than his bed in his rented house,.of course. And it was soft and comfortable. He had a good sleep last night. But then he remembered that last night he was sleeping in the couch. Why now is he sleeping on the bed? And it wasn't the bed in the room Yibo showed him to stay in yesterday while he lives in his house.

Zhan got up. The room was lit up by the sunlight that sneaking through the curtain. He opened the curtain and found the city view in front of him. A bright smile arose on his lips.

"So beautiful...." He muttered.

Zhan stood there for a longer while. Then, he glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand. 7 AM. He wondered, why didn't he see Yibo around? Where is he? Did he go to work already? So early?
