Shichahai was a beautiful place with Houhai Lake as the residents' vacation destination. The lake surrounded by the restaurants and bars, motorboats, and classic boats also pedal boats made rows that shattered in the lake. Rickshaws for hire stand on the roadside with its drivers who are ready to bring the passengers to go make a round trip around the lake or visiting the Hutongs in the area.
A red BMW Convert stopped by the roadside, a few meters from the rickshaw stand. Two men in dark clothing, one in the black bomber jacket and the other one wearing the dark grey coat climbed out the car, wearing the dark shed covering their eyes from the bright sunlight that afternoon.
"It's hot here. Why do we wearing the outer like this?" Wang Yibo grumbled. Then he glanced at Xiao Zhan who wearing a long coat. His lips formed a side smirk with an eyebrow lifted.
"It's my trademark," replied Xiao Zhan without paying a glance at the detective.
"Trademark my ass..." Wang Yibo mumbled.
Xiao Zhan ignored him. He walked up to the rickshaw stand,
"Uncle! How long it will take for you to reach the Nanluoguxiang Hutong?' asked Xiao Zhan to a rickshaw's driver.
Around 20 minutes," answered the rickshaw's driver.
"Can you send us to this tea house?" asked the agent, showing a paper to the man.
"It's gonna be RMB100," said the man.
"Hey, Uncle! Do you want to extort us? how come you charge us RMB100 for such a short trip?" the detective made a protest.
"You are big guys and I'm old! I have to kick my pedal hard to give you a ride!" the man scowled.
"50! Let me pedal you and my friend!" the detective bargained.
"Shut up!" Xiao Zhan nudged Wang Yibo's rib. "Uncle! I'll take! Send us there!" said the agent to the rickshaw's driver.
The man nodded and jumped down from the rickshaw and sat on the saddle of the bicycle
The agent and the detective hopped on the seat of the rickshaw which located behind the driver.
They had no choice but have to take the rickshaw to go to the rented flat of Wang Sufeng which combined with a teahouse in the area. They couldn't ride their car because it was a narrow alley which only occupied by the pedestrians and two wheels vehicles and rickshaws. They have searched for Wang Sufeng in the company where he is working, but they said he didn't come to work for three days already. The administration said he took his leave. From Ferdy Koon, they got his address which wasn't far from the bars he had visited when the murder case occurred.
"Do you think it's romantic to sit and ride a rickshaw around the lake with this cozy atmosphere? No wonder you don't want me to pedal you with that old man. This is a romantic moment... How can you share with the old man?" Wang Yibo started rambling.
Xiao Zhan didn't respond to him. He averted his gaze to the lake.
"Zhan! How about we come here when we got an off?" cried Wang Yibo.
"On my off, I just want to sleep..." Xiao Zhan mumbled.
"You are not romantic at all!" huffed Wang Yibo.
"Are you still thinking of romantic things when we are coming here investigation?' Xiao Zhan turned to the detective.
"I'm just saying..." Wangyibo muttered. He looked away, looking at the restaurants, bars and shops on the side of the road.
