THE WITNESS {YIZHAN} (COMPLETED ✅✅)

53 STILL A MYSTERY

The police officers in the Municipal Prison were busied by the two corpses that lied on the floor soaked in blood. They evacuated the corpses to the other room and waited for the paramedics from the hospital to come to collect them.

"Darn it!!" Chief Kwee hit the table in his office with his fist. There was a man who sitting down on the couch.

"That Captain is really pull the bait his brother has set for him! Took his life before his execution!" Said the Chief.

"If he didn't do that, hewon't get his wish granted...!" Commented the man.

Chief Kwee rubbed his chin.

"Hmm... I wonder, where did Wang Sun Er get the knife? And how did he hide it so nicely..." He muttered.

Both of the men are silent.

"Where did you get the Monk from?" Asked the man.

"From a temple in Forbidden City...!" Replied Chief Kwee. He stared at the man. " Why, Major?" He asked the man.

"How did he come here? Did you pick him up?" Asked the man.

"No! He came before we able to pick him up! He came by truck. He said he rushed here before the time we provide for him...!"Replied the Chief.

"Hmm...." The man mumbled. "Who did come him with from the temple?" He asked.

"He came alone. The other Monks in the Temple are busy because they welcoming a Lama from Tibet, he informed us  Why?" Asked back the Chief.

"Well, I'm not sure about it. Anyway, they both are gone already. Let's forget it!" Said the man.

"Just don't let this matter leaks outside. Tell people that Sun Er had had his execution done. Lucky, this execution is closed from public....!" Said the man again.

The Chief looked at the man. There were ton of questions in his head but he didn't ask the man any further.

*****

Zhan was having his injuries being treated by a doctor in a clinic. After the doctor wrapped his injuries with the bandage, the doctor allowed him to leave the room.

When Zhan opened the door, he found Yibo was sitting on a chair in front of the room. Yibo got up when he saw Zhan comes out.

"Do you feel better?" Asked Yibo.

"Mn. I'm good. Do you?" Zhan replied and asked Yibo back.

Yibo lowered his head.

"It's not your fault...." Said Zhan. He touched Yibo's hand.

"He didn't mean to kill me, I know. It's only to make you to grant his last wish. He didn't want  to be killed in other people's hand...! He adores you.... He:s hurt inside and he doesn't have anyone he can trust to share it. And that turns it into a mental-ilnesss...." Said Zhan.

Yibo lifted his face.

"But why did he throw the knife to that Monk?" Asked Yibo.

Zhan silent. He didn't know how to answer Yibo's question. He didn't know a lot about Sun Er. He closed his private matter from others, even from Yibo, his beloved brother.

"Who knows? It's only Sun Er who knows it, and he brings this mystery to the grave with him. No one knows...." Said Zhan.

Yibo stared at Zhan. Then he touched Zhan's wound that wrapped with the bandage.

"Is it hurt?" Asked Yibo.

Zhan smiled. He touched Yibo's chest.

"Is it hurt?" He asked Yibo.

Yibo turned his gaze to the hand on his chest.

"This wound will heal soon. How about the wound inside your heart?" Asked Zhan.

Yibo took Zhan's hand and holds it. He looked at the boy fondly.

"As long as you are with me, I'll be fine. So, don't leave me...!" Said Yibo.

Zhan shook his head.

"I will never leave you. I will be your partner to solve the criminal cases. And your life...." Said Zhan.

Yibo smiled faintly. He kissed Zhan's hand.

"Let's go home..." He said.

Zhan nodded. Then they both walked out from the clinic in the deserted area, where next to it was a gas station.

A while after they left, the door of the doctor's room opened. The doctor stood on the doorway, looking at the two men who climbing up the Jeep. Then a smirk curved up on his lips.

"Hemh!" He scoffed. " So you're his brother...." He muttered.

Then he went back into the room and closed the door again.

That black Jeep fled and sped up on the country road in the silent morning that brings up the sun higher. The forest at both sides of the road standing, watching them with a mysterious gaze, as mysterious as the case that brought by Wang Sun Er to his grave.
