Chapter 2102: Who Harmed Zimo?
The night talk tonight left Su Ziwen’s heart full of conflict.
He couldn’t believe that if Chen Shijie was really related to the murderer, what would he do then?
After all, the Chen Family and the Su Family have been on friendly terms for generations. Such a big incident could very well lead to a war between the two families. By that time, neither the Chen Family nor the Su Family would have a good outcome.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Su Ziwen, knowing what he was thinking, and then said, "Don’t be too conflicted, maybe he just knows some inside information, but hasn’t participated in it."
"Anyway, tomorrow I’ll go with you to see him and ask him face-to-face."
"Face-to-face? But, but will he talk?" Su Ziwen felt a bit uneasy again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him: "With me by your side, are you still worried he won’t tell the truth? Don’t worry, I have ten thousand ways to make him reveal the truth."
"And don’t you want to know exactly who harmed Zimo?"
Hearing his last sentence, a flash of coldness appeared in Su Ziwen’s eyes: "Of course I want to know. Alright, Brother Xiao, we’ll do as you say. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to the Chen Family."
"Alright, that’s settled then. It’s getting late, wash up and get some sleep." Xiao Zheng said.
After Su Ziwen nodded, he went to freshen up.
Xiao Zheng lay on the bed, looking at the pitch-black night outside the window, feeling a sudden unease for some reason. At this moment, those tiny, densely packed black bugs kept appearing in his mind.
"I hope my premonition is wrong."
"But to be on the safe side, I think I should make some arrangements."
Xiao Zheng thought silently.
Then he released his doppelganger, letting it hide in Su Zimo’s hospital room. This way, even if someone really wanted to harm Su Zimo, with the doppelganger’s protection, Su Zimo wouldn’t be in danger.
This is one of the benefits of the doppelganger, it can help Xiao Zheng complete many tedious tasks.
After making this arrangement, the time was nearing dawn.
After exchanging goodnights with Su Ziwen, they both fell into a deep sleep.
They both slept exceptionally well.
Especially Su Ziwen, who hadn’t had a good night’s sleep like this since Su Zimo’s incident.
However, after an unknown amount of time, they were awakened by a scream.
Xiao Zheng jolted awake from his sleep, discovering that it was already daylight outside.
At this time, Su Ziwen also got up from the bed and said anxiously to Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xiao, did you hear that scream just now? It seemed to come from next door!"
Xiao Zheng nodded and rushed out of the room.
When he arrived at Su Zimo’s hospital room, he found three people inside. Lying on the hospital bed was Su Zimo, along with a nurse, and finally a lean, middle-aged man who had already lost his heartbeat on the floor.
"Who is he?"
Xiao Zheng frowned and asked.
Hearing this, the nurse replied, still frightened: "I, I don’t know either. I just walked into the room and saw someone lying on the ground. He, he was already dead."
Xiao Zheng didn’t pay attention to her anymore and went straight to Su Zimo’s side: "Zimo, are you alright? Are you okay?"
Hearing his words, although Su Zimo’s face was a bit pale, she still obediently said: "Brother Xiao, I’m fine. I was woken up by the nurse’s scream too."
At this moment, Su Ziwen finally rushed into the room.
When he saw the lean, middle-aged man on the ground, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face: "This person, he, he..."
Su Ziwen pointed at the lean man for half a day, unable to say a complete sentence.
Noticing his abnormality, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ask: "What’s wrong? Ziwen, have you seen this person before?"
Hearing this, Su Ziwen nodded and said: "I have seen him before, he is the native who tried to sell Zimo that puppet at the market before!"
What!
Hearing his words, not only was Xiao Zheng surprised, but even Su Zimo showed an expression of shock!
Because at this moment, the lean man was facing away from Su Zimo, so she didn’t recognize him immediately.
Now, after Su Ziwen’s reminder, Su Zimo found him more and more familiar.
"It seems like you guys are really being targeted."
Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice.
If Su Ziwen didn’t mistake the person, then this native who died in Su Zimo’s hospital room was definitely not a good person. And this also meant that the incident of Su Zimo being poisoned wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
Evidently realizing this, Su Ziwen couldn’t help but grit his teeth and said angrily: "Damn it! If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought Zimo to the Southern Ocean!"
Feeling his guilt, Xiao Zheng sighed helplessly in his heart.
As for Su Zimo, she was confused: "Brother, Brother Xiao, what are you talking about?"
"It’s nothing, you don’t need to worry about this matter, we’ll handle it." Xiao Zheng didn’t want her to be worried, so he comforted her, "It’s just an accident. You just need to focus on healing."
While they were chatting, the local police finally arrived.
When they saw the native’s body, a look of fear appeared on their faces.
At this time, Xiao Zheng noticed that the fear on the police’s faces wasn’t due to seeing a body, but rather a fear of the native’s identity. This discovery made him even more curious.
But in the end, the police still took the body away and also took a statement from them.
After the police left with the body, the hospital building returned to peace.
However, a hint of panic still remained on everyone’s face, as a person’s death is no small matter.
After sending the nurse away, only Xiao Zheng and the other two were left in the room.
Xiao Zheng said: "Ziwen, later take me to the Chen Family. Some things indeed need to be clarified as soon as possible."
After such an incident, Su Ziwen also realized the severity of the situation and nodded silently.
Hearing this, Su Zimo said fearfully: "Brother Xiao, you’re going to the Chen Family? Can you take me with you? I’m a bit scared to stay in the hospital alone..."
Feeling her panic, Xiao Zheng smiled and patted her hand, then said: "Don’t worry, I’ll have someone stay to protect you."
"Huh? Brother Xiao, did you bring someone with you this time to Southern Ocean?" Su Ziwen asked curiously.
Xiao Zheng gave a mysterious smile, and then a second Xiao Zheng suddenly appeared in the room!
