Chapter 191: Theories on the murders.
Chi Lian and Piggy left the restaurant slowly, following Squirrel who had designated himself the driver for the day.
"Drive the boss carefully." Piggy emphasized.
"Yes." Squirrel humbly responded.
Chi Lian smiled slightly and shook her head. According their files which old tiger compiled for her, Squirrel had a penchant for speed. Occasionally he participated in Illegal Street racing for fun. If he was behind the wheel of any car, it was safe to assume that at one point he would run a red light. He could not resist the temptation.
"I mean it Squirrel; if you go over sixty I will kick your ass." Piggy warned him once more.
"Sheesh, I heard you already. I would not risk the boss’s life carelessly."
True to his word, Squirrel maintained the legal driving speed until they got to the detectives apartment. He lived in a gated community so they had to identify themselves for security to let them inside only after the detective agreed to meet with them.
When they met him, Chi Lian was surprised by how calm he was. She thought he would be excited to talk to journalists about the case after all these years but he seemed to be uninterested in them. She used the few seconds to observe his house. It was filled with happy pictures, the evidence of a life well lived.
Some pictures showed him hiking with his wife or on trips in different cities in the empire. Retirement was probably good for his marriage.
