This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 9 • Did i doubt this man?

After some hours the site of the murder was cleared. After finishing the formalities, the body was taken to the medical examination room for further examination and autopsy. The victim was also been identified. He was a businessman, exporter of pharmaceutical equipment and medicines to be exact. He had a wife and two children. And like all other victims, his profile was also clean.

Wuxie, Xiao Hua, and Pangzi were waiting in their car after having a light meal. When Yuelou heard about them rushing here without having anything, he asked one of his assistants to buy them food. Later Yuelou and Yuzhi joined them too.

"Thanks for the food." Wuxie thanked Yuelou as he stood near the car door. Wuxie was still inside.

Yuelou eyed Yuzhi like he was confirming something. Then he turned back to Wuxie.

"That... Wuxie, I would like to share something with you. It can be related to this case." Yuelou said after contemplating a lot.

"Okay. But not here and not at your place. Let's go get some drinks."

"Alright. We will follow you then." Yuelou said as he got to the destination Wuxie meant.

The car and jeep soon set off to night merry.

At the bar, it was nothing different than usual. The yellow dim lights, classic drinks, and settings. Night merry was a paradise for people who just want to drink exquisite. Can't ignore the fact that most of the ladies come here to be blessed by the handsome bartender and the owner. Sometimes men too.

Five of them soon got settled in the far corner table where they won't be get watched or heard. Wuxie then suddenly excused himself and walked towards the counter.

Yanjing saw Wuxie coming and naturally, his eyes wandered behind him.

"We already got seated," Wuxie said when he noticed Yanjing. Yanjing could only smile hiding his embarrassment. "Guess we really need to have a serious talk."

"Yeah, we should. You also come here with a motive right?"

"What? I have nothing."

Wuxie shrugged his shoulders but couldn't lower it as he was frozen by someone popping near him suddenly.

Kylin slid the tray towards Yanjing and he took a glance at the frozen Wuxie. The fire-emitting eyes were enough to melt Wuxie.

"H-hi." He said moving back a little bit. Shit! Why my heart is beating this loud. What if he hears it?

"Oh! I ... I'm so sorry. I couldn't inform you before I go this morning. We were in hurry." Wuxie was talking a bit loud hoping it would cover his loud heartbeat. Kylin nodded once but was still looking at Wuxie making him restless.

"We... I ... There was another murder. So, had to run, you know." Wuxie was forced to keep talking by the stare of others.

"Another murder?" frightened Yanjing said.

It was a saving call for Wuxie. The very instant he diverted his eyes from Kylin. Oh, my savior. Now I know why I befriend you. Wuxie grinned in happiness. If one more second, he had been locked in by Kylin's mesmerizing stare, it would have been the death for Wuxie.

"Yes. And actually, we are here to discuss some matters. So, I came here to say that, don't send someone to the table until I say. Okay bye, have to run. Bye, bye."

Wuxie ran for his life. His face was hot and red and his heart was beating fast as he finished a marathon race.

Wuxie went back to his friends.
