Ch5 - I think Xiaowei is very good

Translator-Rhapsodite

“Thanks for tonight.” 

Bei Quan came out of the studio, reached out, and patted Wei Fuyuan on the shoulder, “You can go back and rest.”

“That’s it?”

Wei Fuyuan was a little stunned, “Our program, I mean, this” Thriller Night Talk “, just let someone call in and listen to him make up a story, then it’s over?”

He thought, wasn’t it too easy to do this program? 

It seemed that there was no need  to find materials at all, and there was no need for his assistant at all!

Bei Quan was 182 centimeters tall, but he was still five centimeters shorter than Wei Fuyuan, who was even taller. It was a rare experience to had the opposite party looking up at him.

He scanned Wei Fuyuan’s face with his chestnut pupils, his expression serious.

Wei Fuyuan felt inexplicably guilty.

——No, I didn’t say anything wrong?

Bei Quan, “Do you think that person just made up a story?”

Wei Fuyuan almost asked, ‘What else?’, Fortunately, his inadequate EQ still made him hold his due respect to his boss, and stopped his mouth in time before he said something wrong, which made him feel very tactful.

‘In my opinion, it is a well made up urban legend. ” 

Bei Quan smiled nonchalantly.

“All right.”

He brushed past Wei Fuyuan, and smoothly adjusted the collar for the other party.

“Take a good night’s sleep tonight, and we have to go out tomorrow.” 

Master Wei looked at Bei Quan’s back and gave a dazed “um”, feeling even more confused.

It was close to one o’clock in the morning after Wei Fuyuan freshened up.

Before returning to the storage room, he went downstairs with a cup and planned to get water from the kitchen on the first floor.

Young Master Wei was too lazy to turn on the light, so he went downstairs in the dark with the dim light of a small night light next to the corridor. 

When he reached the top of the stairs, he suddenly heard someone talking.

He quickly turned back and hid his tall figure behind the handrail of the stairs.

“…I think you are really stupid!” said a young female voice.

Wei Fuyuan cautiously poked out half of his head from the stairs, looking at the source of the sound. 

Sure enough, two figures were standing in front of the kitchen, one tall and one short; Bei Quan and Zhu Ling.

It was ambiguous to be alone in the middle of the night with a lone man and a woman.

Master Wei felt a little panic in his heart.

And he clearly remembered that there was no spare room for Zhu Ling, but the girl had not left at this point. Was she going to sleep in Bei Quan’s room tonight? 

“Really? ” Bei Quan replied with a smile, “I think Xiaowei is very good.”

Wei Fuyuan was so angry that he almost couldn’t help rushing up and grabbing Zhu Ling’s collar and yelling. “No matter who “Huigui” was, will I become paralyzed when I see a woman?! ‘ 

“Rb?”

Hearing Bei Quan compliment him, Wei Fuyuan felt a little more comfortable.

“And, you know…” 

Bei Quan continued to persuade Zhu Ling.

“I picked him because he could find this place.”

He suddenly placed an accent on the word “find”.

“This is also fate, isn’t it?” 

Wei Fuyuan felt guilty again.

He didn’t come to Sāntúchuān specifically to apply for the job at the time. He just happened to get lost and got this part-time job by accident.

“But he’s just a assistant! This kind of job should not require assistant in the first place! ”

Zhu Ling’s voice raised a little, “I think we should send him away now! It’s just a month. Next month, your new partner will be here. ” 

Bei Quan said with a smile, “besides, don’t I still have you?”

The light was too dim, and there was some distance from the stairs to the kitchen. Wei Fuyuan couldn’t see Bei Quan’s expression clearly, but his tone seemed to be smiling.

“This time I’m confident that it will go well.” He said with a smile, “but I have to trouble you to collect information.”

Zhu Ling scoffed. Wei Fuyuan wasn’t sure whether Bei Quan had convinced Zhu Ling. However, she did not continue to pester Bei Qun about laying off Wei Fuyuan. 

“Which time did I not collect information anyway?” The girl left with a rhetorical question, turned out of the kitchen, and entered Bei Quan’s study.

Wei Fuyuan: “???”

Just now, the conversation between the two was so informative that the young Master Wei was almost confused.

——It was just a bad broadcasting company. Why did they have to work as a part-time detective? 

——Is that woman Hui hard to deal with? Why did they all feel more like confronting a mortal enemy?

——And was he just the spare wheel tool man before Bei Quan’s new partner came? So, does that mean he would be fired in a month?

The haughty Master Wei couldn’t face the notion that his first job would not even make it through the three-month internship.

Because he was so angry and confused, he didn’t notice how strange it was that Zhu Ling seemed to plan to spend the night in a study with only one desk. 

However, at this time, Wei Fuyuan couldn’t think about it anymore.

Bei Quan came out of the kitchen with half a bag of bread in his hand and went straight to the stairs.

——Don’t let the boss find out I’m eavesdropping!

Wei Fuyuan quickly lowered his body, ran up the stairs lightly, and got into his storage room. 

On Friday, April 23, Wei Fuyuan arrived at the school at ten o’clock. He had the last two classes of the day. Then he went to the canteen for a hasty lunch and went back to the Sāntúchuān broadcasting company. 

When he walked into the dilapidated red brick building, the first person he saw was fat baby Tian, who was only three years old.

And such a little baby, who was no more than 10 cm higher than the dining table, sat in front of the tea table and was making Kung Fu tea with a set of the purple sand tea set.

“Ah, Xiaowei, are you here?”

Baby Tian didn’t think there was something wrong with calling a 1.87-meter-old handsome man Xiao Wei at his age. 

While talking, he was holding a kettle in his hand, calmly and skillfully making a water bath for the tea set.

“Bei Quan and Zhu Ling are both in the study, you can go inside and join them.”

Wei Fuyuan nodded in a daze, then turned and entered the study.

Bei Quan sat behind the desk, and Zhu Ling did not sit on another chair, but stood beside Bei Quan, bending over and saying something. 

Young master Wei frowned, and the thought of “they shouldn’t be a couple” flashed in his heart.

Indeed, if he hadn’t been with them for a whole week and suddenly saw the young man and woman in Sāntúchuān and the baby Tian, anyone would have thought they were a family of three.

“Ah, Xiaowei, you’re here.”

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Bei Quan raised his head and said with a smile, “come on, you sit next to me.” 

He pointed to the other chair.

Zhu Ling didn’t say anything, just glared at Wei Fuyuan and left the study.

Master Wei was pleased that the obstructive woman was not there.

After Zhu Ling went out, he moved the chair and sat down beside Bei Quan. 

“What are you doing?” Wei Fuyuan asked casually.

Wei Fuyuan looked at the piles of newspapers on the table, and asked,

“How can I help you?”

“Come on, look at these first.” 

With a smile, Beiquan spread out several newspapers in turn and put them in front of Wei Fuyuan.

Wei Fuyuan: “?”

He picked up the first newspaper and looked at the headline and time of the newspaper.

This was a daily newspaper issued locally. In today’s dwindling print media, only two or three major newspaper companies could continue the business. 

As for the time of the newspaper, it was January 31, about two and a half months ago.

When Wei Fuyuan looked down again, he saw a square column circled in red ink.

“… Last night, an intoxicated man broke into a construction site… Was killed after being struck by falling steel bars and died? ”

He quickly read the content in the red circle, and then looked at Bei Quan blankly. 

“Look at this again.”

Bei Quan immediately handed out another page.

Wei Fuyuan took it and found that it was a printed police report in white on a blue background.

The date was also January 31, which referred to the accident in which the man was killed by building materials after breaking into the construction site by mistake. 

However, this police information circular was more detailed than the news in the newspaper. Wei Fuyuan read it quickly at a glance.

It turned out that it was a middle-aged man named Wu Mouping. After he got drunk, he slipped into a construction site where work had stopped, climbed up a pile of building materials without permission, and finally fell accidentally. He was crushed by dozens of tons of steel bars and died on the spot.

It was a story that people still talked about.

“This is the first one.” Bei Quan smiled and wrote a line on a piece of white paper: “On January 30, Wu Mouping, male, 48 years old, cause of death: killed by heavy objects .” 

Wei Fuyuan noticed that Bei Quan used a very beautiful golden pen. His handwriting was very beautiful and well-defined, which was much better than his cursive handwriting.

“Now let’s look at the second one.” As he said, Bei Quan handed another newspaper to Wei Fuyuan.

The date this time was February 10th, which seems to be the day before Chinese New Year’s Eve.

But the above content was still not good news. 

According to the report, the night before, on February 9, a 34-year-old man surnamed Liu went out late at night in the suburbs. When passing a certain intersection, he accidentally fell into the manhole and was scalded to death by the boiling water in the manhole.

“Ah, yes!”

Wei Fuyuan patted his forehead.

He didn’t notice when he read the first article, but being scalded to death by boiling water was so memorable that he remembered the bizarre story told on the hotline in the early morning. 

“This is the accident mentioned by Mr. A? It turned out to be true! ”

After reading the report carefully, Master Wei realized that the accident was even stranger than he had imagined.

According to images taken by anti-theft cameras installed in nearby shops, when the deceased surnamed Liu passed the road in the middle of the night, something fell from his body and fell into the manhole.

The lost property seemed very important to Liu. After lying on the manhole cover for a long time without success, he even removed the manhole cover with his own hands, then lay on the edge of the well, leaning forward to reach. 

Then he became unstable and plunged into the manhole full of boiling water, burning himself alive.

Author’s Note- 

The author has something to say: Don’t hate Zhu Ling. She just has a sharp mouth and a bean curd in her heart. She’s worried that ordinary people will unnecessarily be involved~

And she has no affair with Bei Quan. She’s not even human~
