Zhan and Ray stopped fighting when they heard someone shouted. They looked at where the voice came. When they saw a man in his majesty uniform, pointing his gun at them, they pulling back from grasping each other. They got up and stood side by side.

"Heh!" the man who just came scoffed. He put the gun back into its holster. There was another man in uniform tailed him behind.

The man walked back and forth in front of the two boys who are looking at his movements. He let out an ugly laugh.

"WHat are you fighting over, Kids?" asked the man who not other than Commissioner Lin.

No one answered him. And it made the Commissioner fed up.

"Answer me!!!!" he screamed in front of the boys' face.

Ray and Zhan flinched.

"He started it!" said Zhan and Ray in unison and they pointing at each other.

Commissioner Lin paused his walk and looked at the boys alternately.

"Tell me. What are you fighting over?" asked Commissioner Lin.

Zhan and Ray looked at each other. This Commissioner seemed to not know about them. About Ray who just released of being a suspect, and about Zhan who close to the Captain.

"We... We..." Zhan stuttered.

"They fight over a girl, Mr. Policeman!" Qi Er suddenly ran out of the house and approaching them.

The Commissioner straightened his standing position and turned to the girl with furrowed brows. Zhan and Ray looked at her. They weren't sure if the girl is gonna help them or makes the things get worse?

'Why should they fight over a girl? Whose girl is this girl?" asked the Commissioner.

"The girl is belong to no one. She likes my Gege, but My Ge likes Zhan Ge!" replied Qi Er, makes Zhan and Ray widened their eyes in disbelief.

"What?? Qi Er!!" shouted Ray to his sister. He grabbed his sister's hand, but got slapped away by Qi Er.

Qi Er walked closer to the Commissioner.

"Zhan Ge is angry because he thought that my Ge likes her, too!" said the girl.

"Qi Er! What lie are you spreading??" cried Ray.

This time Ray pulled Qi Er's shoulder and covered her mouth by his hand. Ray looked up at the Commissioner who still watching them suspiciously.

"Haha... She just blathering nonsense, Sir!" said Ray, laughing awkwardly.

Commissioner Lin stared at Ray with eyes smaller. He scoffed. Then he turned to Zhan and staring at him. His eyes opened and his brows furrowed. He raised his finger and moved it back and forth.

"I have seen you....!" Said Commissioner Lin.

Zhan startled. He tried to remember when did he see the Commissioner, too? Then he glanced at the officer behind him who whispering beside the Commissioner's ear.

"Ahhhh....!!" The Commissioner tilted his head upward with mouth ajar, showing that he understands something.

"I remember! You're the one that bumped on me on Dongbi Street!" Said Commissioner Lin.

Zhan looked thinking of something. Yes, he remembered! This man is Commisioner whom he seen in the crime scene. And he even suspected the Commissioner as the culprit. But after he sees him again now, he pushed the thought away. By watching his clown behavior, he couldn't be a suspect of a cold-blooded murder case.
