Chapter 81: There Is A Death Sentence In California

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After thinking over it, Chen Zhao still went to Chris’s place.

They were not friends on the spiritual level or the physical level, but it was the first time Chen Zhao had rejected a woman who had asked to sleep with him.

Firstly, Chris had a boyfriend with whom she was already engaged.

Chen Zhao did not want to destroy their relationship. Even if everything could be kept a secret, it would still make him feel uneasy.

Moreover, Chris was somewhat emotionally unstable at that point. She did not necessarily want to sleep with Chen Zhao.

After Chen Zhao had broken up with his ex, he had gone for online dating a few times. There was once he encountered precisely such an awkward situation.

They were about to go to bed when she suddenly said, “I don’t feel it anymore. Can I just use my hand?”

Chen Zhao would have replied with a no if he was not afraid of being sued for rape.

Nonetheless, if Chen Zhao had known earlier that Chris was going to break up with her boyfriend the second day, he would have agreed to Chris’s request that night.

Chen Zhao was not too picky about women. Perhaps it was only because he had a very low bottom line.

Firstly, he wanted the woman to be clean and free of illnesses.

Secondly, he would always wear condoms, which would benefit both parties.

He did not agree that condoms would reduce the level of satisfaction. One could always use Durex Extra Thin.

Chen Zhao also did not have any requirements for age. For example, he had accepted Zola who was well over forty.

Zola had maintained a good shape. Although she usually looked dignified and virtuous, she was much better than ordinary girls in bed.

Moreover, she knew how to adore her bedmate and was willing to cooperate with any posture.

Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Zhao did not dislike her.

In the cab, Chen Zhao kept thinking about this and that.

Since Chris had already broken up with her boyfriend, Chen Zhao might be able to have some exchange with her.

Anyway, Chen Zhao had never planned to have a proper relationship or thought of marriage and having children.

Chen Zhao walked to Chris’s door and knocked. “Chris, are you there?”

Only a long silence awaited Chen Zhao. He took two steps back and looked into the house through the windows. The lights were off.

It was already past 7p.m. Since the lights were off, Chen Zhao guessed that Chris was not at home.

“Are you Chris’s friend?”

Chen Zhao turned his head around and saw a middle-aged man.

“Are you Chris’s relative?”

“I’m her neighbor. I live in the next door house,” the middle-aged man said, pointing at the house beside.

“Hi. I’m Chris’s friend. Do you know where she is?”

“I saw her come back past 5p.m. and she didn’t go out, so she should still be at home,” the middle-aged man said.

“She’s home?”

“Yup, but I think she’s in a bad mood.”

“Is it?”

“Yes. She just went to her boyfriend’s funeral.”

“Huh? I heard that she broke up with her boyfriend… Is her boyfriend dead?”

“That’s right. He jumped off the roof of a tall building.”

“Is Chris going to do something stupid?” Chen Zhao said worriedly as he looked at the dark room.

“Should we enter through the windows?”

“I think that we should call the police,” Chen Zhao replied.

Suddenly, however, the middle-aged man took out a gun and pointed at Chen Zhao.

It was already dark and there was no one around, so the middle-aged man was not worried that he would be noticed.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing. You only came at the wrong time,” the middle-aged man said.

However, the next moment, Walter leaped towards the middle-aged man and bit his wrist.

Bang!

Luckily, Chen Zhao managed to dodge the bullet. It was really a close one.

Unlike most movies, there would be more than just a bullet hole on him if he was hit at such a close range.

In fact, being shot at such a close range would very likely damage his limbs and muscles severely.

The middle-aged man was no match for Walter at all. His wrist was already covered in blood and his gun had dropped onto the ground. He could not even run away.

After kicking the gun away, Chen Zhao subdued the middle-aged man with Walter.

Then, he called the police, who only reached after twenty minutes.

This time, they were not those whom Chen Zhao already knew. They should be from another branch in Los Angeles.

There were a total of four police and they saw Chen Zhao press the middle-aged man onto the ground.

Immediately, they pointed their guns at Chen Zhao, “Don’t move!”

Chen Zhao said helplessly, “Buddy, I was the one who called the police.”

“What happened? Explain now!”

“I came here to find my friend whose boyfriend had just passed away I think. I was worried that she’s going to do something foolish, so I planned to call the police to check her house. Then, this man pointed his gun at me, after which he was bitten by my dog. So I managed to subdue him and call you.”

“Walter, bring them the gun.”

Walter picked up the gun from the ground and dropped it near the police.

A police walked up and handcuffed the middle-aged man. Then, they sent the man onto the police car.

“You need to come to the police station with us too.”

“Buddy, can you go in and check on my friend? I’m worried that something has happened to her.”

“Spike, there’s signs of intrusion here.” A police discovered that one of the windows was broken. It was just enough for a person outside the stick his hand in and open the door.

“Go in and check the house.”

The police bumped the door open directly and then turned on the lights.

They checked every corner of the house but there was nobody.

“Are you sure your friend’s at home?”

“I don’t know. That man said that she came back and didn’t leave.”

Unable to find Chris, Chen Zhao could only follow the police back to the station.

A police made a written report for Chen Zhao, but he still could not leave.

After another two hours of boring waiting, a police finally walked in.

“You can leave now.”

“Buddy, can you tell me what had happened?”

“He’s a pervert. We saved a girl from his house and discovered the clothes of at least ten girls. According to his statements, he originally intended to enter your friend’s house at night, just like how he had managed to get his other prey. However, your arrival made him feel that he can accuse you. As long as you enter your friend’s house, leave your fingerprints, and then he kills you, he could create false evidence to suggest that you’ve fled to escape punishment. However, you chose to call the police, so he could only point his gun at you in an attempt to force you into the room.”

“So you’re saying he’s killed over ten girls?”

“Yes, so you’ve done us a great favor.”

“There’s the death sentence in California, right?”

“That’s my thought as well. I promise you that pervert is dead for sure.” The police patted Chen Zhao’s shoulder. “Thank you for helping us to solve a major problem.”

“By the way, do you have news about my friend?”

“Not for now, but I will take note of it for you. Leave your number here. If we receive any news, we’ll inform you. Of course, if you discover anything, you can tell us too.”

“Sure.”
