REDPEAFOWL, Chapter 1: Lu Yipeng
“Inspector Lu. I have something to discuss with you in private. Can I have five minutes of your time?”
Lu Yipeng looked up to the person approaching him. He was examining the evidence from the casino cleanup case last week. The person who walked in was none other than Chen Qian, the current police chief.
“Of course.” Lu Yipeng agreed, dismissing the younger siblings who were working there to leave.
“Do you know the details of the case involving the murder of Miao Xiaodong? How much do you know about it?” Chen Qian started asking, still standing. Lu Yipeng shook his head, “That case, Captain Fan Dong, is responsible for that.”
“Um … yes. He just told me himself that this case may be related to the Red Peafowl.”
The black eyes of Lu Yipeng widened as he got on immediately.
“Inspector Lu, I know this may be a bit too delicate for you, but the case of the murder of Miao Xiaodong is a big deal. You are the only one who survived from the Red Peafowl, and successfully closed the case four years ago. I want you to help one more time… I’ve heard that Hong Kongque himself will welcome you well, like a brother.”
“I don’t know about that.” Lu Yipeng replied bluntly, “You just sent me to find him last month, and now you want me to go again?”
“Please help me, inspector. If the case can be closed without relying on Hong Kongque, I wouldn’t have to ask you. I don’t want to keep him around too, but you know, isn’t it true that Hong Kongque is someone who can do anything.”
“He’s just like you.” Lu Yipeng answered, before letting out a sigh in an unmoved manner, “I will go find him, someday on Thursday. He’s not free to meet me every day.”
“Please do.” Chen Qian said, then turned around to sleep. Lu Yipeng sighed heavily again.
…
“Hey Inspector Lu, is there another unresolved case this month?” a cheerful voice greeted as Lu Yipeng walked into the room. The man was sitting on a burgundy leather chair, holding a large white cockatoo in his hand. He was feeding it something with a playful expression.
The Red Peafowl has been interpreted by society in various ways. Some say it is a secret organization that conducts illegal business activities, while others say it is a gang of thugs who ruthlessly kill people. There is even a rumor that the Red Peafowl has immortal leaders and must be supernatural beings.
If asked what Red Peafowl is, Lu Yipeng would probably point to the man in front of him and say, “He maybe a crazy unnerving guy, but Hong Kongque is not a crazy unnerving person.” and Lu Yipeng still carries the scars of the injuries on his legs with pain.
“Is the Red Peafowl on your leg still beautiful, inspector? Let me see.”
“You just saw it last month.” Lu Yipeng said, hearing the playful tone of the person, “No, stop it, don’t be childish. You’re almost thirty now. Let me see. I don’t have the chance to see it every day like you.”
Lu Yipeng frowned slightly before taking off his long pants, revealing a fresh red scar at the inside of his thigh.
“Hmm… a Red Peafowl indeed, your legs are truly beautiful. You’re not wearing those bikini briefs this time, are you? What a shame. Put on your pants now, or Paechikchik will be shocked by your pale legs and fly away from me again.”
Paechikchik, the white-winged bird, was now staring intently at Lu Yipeng. The young man, twenty-seven years old, pulled up his pants after fastening his belt. After finishing brushing his hair, he looked up at the man once more.
The man was still seated on the chair, holding the white-winged bird. The sunlight filtered through the curtains revealing his full and handsome face; sharp eyebrows, clear narrow eyes, chiseled cheekbones, prominent nose bridge, and thin lips. These features combined to create his strikingly handsome Chinese appearance.
“Didn’t you look in the mirror when you combed your hair?” Lu Yipeng greeted him before raising his hand to touch his own hair. The servants standing nearby handed him a comb and mirror.
“You’re quite observant, Lu Yipeng.” The man replied after finishing combing his hair, “I must have had a bit too much to drink last night. So, what brings you here today?”
“I’m here about the murder case of Miao Xiaodong.” Lu Yipeng said, gesturing towards the man seated on the chair.
“No way, Little Yipeng, what do you think the Red Peafowl is? A know-it-all or something? Tell me the details. I’ve been busy with the oil business recently and haven’t had time to read the news.”
Lu Yipeng looked at the man in front of him with an expression of disbelief but proceeded to tell him some details of the case.
“Hmm… with all that I’ve been dealing with, I didn’t know about this…” The man calling himself the Red Peafowl raised his hand to his chin in thought, then spoke up.
“Have you asked the Ungang gang about this?”
As soon as the man finished his sentence, the person being questioned stopped combing his hair and spoke up, “I think the Ungang Gang is involved in this.”
“You must be crazy. The Ungang gang has nothing to do with the investigation. They’re not suspects at all.”
“Have you asked them yourself? Maybe they’re behind this.”
“No way. The Ungang gang is not involved in this matter, they are not even suspects at all.”
“Because of this, you can’t close the case, can you?” Hong Kongque answered with a smile, “If you know how they are involved, I guarantee you can close the case for sure.”
Lu Yipeng frowned in thought, looking at all the evidence. There was nothing substantial to link to the suspects. Even if it was Hong Kongque saying it, just words from a lunatic like him, who would believe it?
“Oh… Your reasoning is truly questionable. There is no evidence linking them to the suspects at all.” Hong Kongque rubbed his chin in thought once again before glaring at the police officer in front of him.
“Last time, you hurt Little Zhi. I truly wonder how a police academy graduate like you received honors.”
“Alright. I admit that I made a mistake. Is there something else you want to tell me about this case? If not, I will be leaving.” Lu Yipeng said irritably as Hong Kongque raised his finger to his head before standing up. The waiting servant then came to escort Paechikchik away.
“I have a little time left. I will take you to find evidence related to the suspects.” With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Lu Yipeng startled,
“Wait. It’s not necessary.”
After that, he was pushed by the servants of Hong Kongque to follow along.
…
The address of the mansion was by the sea, and judging from the picture seen, it would probably cost around a hundred million coins, but Lu Yipeng thought its value must be more, considering the secret chambers and hidden passageways within the mansion. He was now walking with Hong Kongque into the mansion, still unsure where they were headed.
“I might need to change my clothes a bit. It’s not suitable to go in like this.” Hong Kongque mentioned, gesturing to his burnt brown suit jacket, “You
should change as well. That outfit looks too noticeable.”
Lu Yipeng looked down at his suit jacket, but before he could say anything, he was pushed into a room.
Hong Kongque is a man of average build, standing at around 177-178 centimeters tall. He has neat black hair that is always swept to the side. He appears to be in his late twenties to early thirties, but according to Lu Yipeng, he has been in the industry for over thirty years. Another thing, when he first met Hong Kongque four years ago, the man had the same appearance and four years later, that face has hardly changed at all. Well, it would be better to say that it hasn’t changed at all, but Lu Yipeng is sure that Hong Kongque is just an ordinary human who probably has a way to take care of his health better than others.
Denying help would be detrimental, so one of Hong Kongque’s servants helped him remove his old clothes and brought new ones to replace them. When he saw himself again, he was wearing a black and green football team printed Tshirt with denim jeans that fit him perfectly. Even the sneakers that were brought to him fit him perfectly as well. As he stepped out, he found Hong Kongque waiting for him.
Apart from the subtle smile on his face, the person in front of him looked like just another car racing enthusiast.
“You look good, for a change.” Hong Kongque said, then took the cap off Lu
Yipeng’s head without asking. The young man pulled it back with a displeased look, only to see Hong Kongque holding another cap in his hand.
“Alright, let’s go out for a motorcycle ride.”
…
Lu Yipeng has been working as a police officer for five years so catching street racers is not something new to him. Although he has not been doing this job for long, he has seen enough street racers to know which ones are trouble. The problem is that he is now riding a motorcycle that he suspects belongs to the boss of the street racing gang.
Hong Kongque led him through the winding streets of the district until they reached a dark alley. At the entrance, there were several motorcycles parked, all heavily modified and clearly well-used. They were not for show. He then invited him to ride one of the motorcycles, and they set off until they emerged on the highway that connected the district, which was several kilometers away from the estate. Needless to say, Lu Yipeng had no idea how he ended up there, as the alley was dark, and the motorcycle rider was too fast. All he could do was hold on tightly to the steel frame of the bike and pray not to fall off.
The motorcycle journey, which was as rough as a street race, ended when Hong Kongque parked his motorcycle in front of a building that Lu Yipeng knew well.
Hongang gang is a mafia group that operates various forms of gambling, including legal and illegal football betting.
“I’ve bet everything. I won’t back down.” Hong Kongque said, patting his shoulder before walking into the building.
The football betting business of Hongang gang is quite chaotic. Especially in the middle of the night, but it is now midday, and most employees have gone out for lunch break, leaving only a few remaining.
Hong Kongque walked in. He raised his hand, brushed his hair, and then greeted the employees sitting in front of him, “I came to have lunch together, or is someone going to invite me.”
The person sitting at the table looked at him curiously, “You…”
“Shia Shen.” Hong Kongque answered, “Oh, I saw you at the market in district two the other day. Do you live around there?”
“Yeah, um…” The person responded hesitantly. Hong Kongque continued, “I just wanted to consult you, my younger brother wants to start a business, but you disappeared before I could talk to you.”
“I have to talk to the boss. I can’t decide on my own.”
“I just want some advice.” Hong Kongque said with a smile, “Do you think it’s good to open in district six?”
The person immediately shook his head, “Don’t do it yet. The boss in district six just got cleaned up. If you open it now, people will be suspicious.”
“What evidence do you have?” Lu Yipeng, who had been silent for a long time, asked the person sitting and frowned, “Where have you all been? Haven’t you heard anything? The case is going to be big.”
“Oh, there are so many killing cases these days; we won’t be able to know.
Also, no one seems to be involved here.”
“There won’t be any evidence. Your tactics are really too new. We were old hands in the industry before. He once worked with the boss for a while, then withdrew and secretly went to do his own thing, taking away our customers and even slandering the boss. Later, the boss took care of him by teaching his righteous older brother a lesson. Some things can’t be done to oneself. If you guys think about entering this industry, play it honestly. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
“Hmm… big brother, we are already very loyal.” Hong Kongque said with a smile on his face, “Thank you for the warning. I need to go consult with our new little brother about where to open.”
“District Eight.” The person sitting suggested, “They are in need of personnel.”
Hong Kongque nodded before turning back, “Little Xia, what do you think of District Eight?”
Lu Yipeng looked serious and hesitated before replying, “I’m not sure, big brother. I am not familiar with District Eight. I think it’s better if we go back for now.”
Hong Kongque looked disappointed and turned to apologize immediately,
“Alright, little brother, it seems he doesn’t want to fight too many people. It’s okay, thank you so much, big brother. I will take back my little brother and come back later.”
“Um.” The person sitting mumbled before lowering their head to focus on the work at hand, realizing that they had never heard the name before. It had been several weeks since then.
—
“Miao Xiaodong is Xiao Baiheng’s adopted big brother.” Hong Kongque said as he rode his motorcycle, having heard Lu Yipeng’s reply through the wind, “I know.”
The person on the motorcycle chuckled, “If this case closes, it will be my half-good deed.”
Lu Yipeng cleared his throat, “Do you want anything else this time?”
“Just the usual.” Hong Kongque replied and turned the motorcycle onto another street.
“Why don’t you choose a better place than this?” Lu Yipeng asked as Hong
Kongque opened the door to enter an abandoned warehouse, “I can’t help here.
I’ll hurry back. This place is close to my home.”
“Why don’t you go back to your sanctuary then?” The young police officer still had doubts as Hong Kongque raised an eyebrow and smiled at him,
“Hmm… I get tired of the bed and table at the mansion.”
Lu Yipeng looked at the person standing in front of him. Then he swept his eyes around the warehouse. Besides the rough cement floor and the scattered wooden crates, there were only two old shipping containers.
“Do you want to do it?” He turned to ask, the person being asked shrugged again, “Pick one. I’m fine with whichever.”
Lu Yipeng swept his gaze once more before pointing to the container, “That one is fine. The floor seems clean enough.”
Hong Kongque chuckled in his throat, “Really love cleanliness, huh. A container is a container, the attitude is equally fine.”
Both walked side by side towards the container, but before they reached it, Lu Yipeng pulled Hong Kongque in for a hug. Then he began to caress his body.
“Today felt like role playing… naughty kids, huh.” Hong Kongque said, chuckling, while the other person lightly bit his ear.
Lu Yipeng continued to caress that figure and then leaned in to kiss the neck corner, before sliding his hands to caress the inner body of Hong Kongque, who stiffened for a moment before turning his face and whispering softly, “Kiss me a little.”
Lu Yipeng followed easily, as they were close to each other’s lips, the young man took out something small.
!!!
Fast as lightning and before he could prepare a counterattack, Lu Yipeng’s back slammed into the container door. Then he heard a click above his head as
Hong Kongque stood smiling in front of him, “You really excite me, huh.”
He spoke, and caressed the face of Lu Yipeng who tried to pull his hand away, only to find that both his hands were locked by his own handcuffs on the container door handle.
“Hiding my handcuff key was a good advancement.” Hong Kongque praised, and brought his mouth close to the other person’s. Of course, this time, Lu Yipeng remained silent, but it didn’t make the other person upset.
Hong Kongque gently tapped his lips, then raised his face with a smile,
“Have you thought about it yet? If you catch me, what charges would you press?”
Lu Yipeng didn’t answer, but instead looked away, only to be pushed back by the other person, “You don’t want to catch me anymore. Always thinking about what to do next or not. I’ve been questioning the standards of the Hong Kong police academy’s students every time.”
“It has nothing to do with my school.” Lu Yipeng finally replied. He looked at the person in front of him with a sense of confusion that was difficult to explain.
“Still thinking about the Red Peafowl on your leg, huh?” The person being looked at asked, before smiling, “But I really like the Red Peafowl on your leg the most.”
Then the figure in front of him crouched down, and Lu Yipeng heard the sound of a zipper. Then his pants were removed.
“The Red Peafowl on your leg is really beautiful.” The person who held him captive spoke, running his fingers around the smooth, red-patch skin, before leaning in closer with the lips. The chuckle of the person standing nearby was heard, “Didn’t expect someone like Hong Kongque to come and make trouble for me like this.”
“Well.. you should be proud of it.” Hong Kongque said, pulling down Lu
Yipeng’s heart-shaped pants, “Maybe you should tell others what I did to you.”
Lu Yipeng let out a heavy sigh. His hands, which were being held above his head, began to struggle, while his lower body started to wriggle intensively.
“I’m gonna cum.” The young man spoke with a hoarse voice, as the other person sucked him off again while his two hands were shackled, before letting his lips go.
“I wonder if you’ll let me finish in your mouth again.” Lu Yipeng said, and was silenced by the lips. Then Hong Kongque pulled out a condom from his pants pocket.
“I’m curious about how you’re going to do this.” The other person said knowingly, seeing the face of the person who was locked up.
“Well… I’m really curious about that.” Lu Yipeng admitted, as Hong Kongque chuckled lightly and tore open the condom packet, “Just be careful not to let it spill on the way there, that’s all. Don’t worry about anything else.”
Lu Yipeng sucked in his breath as Hong Kongque put on the condom. Then the other person lowered his pants and moved closer.
The young man shuddered once again as the tip of the top penetrated into that secret passage. After wriggling a couple more times, every part of it disappeared until the length was gone, then he heard a chuckled in his throat satisfactorily.
Before Hong Kongque’s hand reached out to grab his hip, and then collided with his own hip.
Lu Yipeng growled in his throat, amid the groaning sound of the front body. The strong waist sections of both collided rhythmically. The moaning sound echoed far and wide, the young police officer squeezed his waist towards the hips that were intertwined. Before both bodies shook, along with the white fluid that the other person released.
Hong Kongque wriggled out, took off his own condom, and then turned to remove the other person’s condom, the drops of emotion released dripped down on the floor between them. He picked up the tissue paper from his pants pocket, wrapped those condoms in it before placing them on the shoulders of the tall figure still locked.
“Leave it.” Hong Kongque said, while pulling up his pants and looking at Lu
Yipeng, then he continued, “Let me go first.”
The person being abandoned raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful, “That’s right, you probably haven’t figured out how to unlock it yourself yet. Um… you should probably try it now.” After speaking, Hong Kongque turned and made a gesture to walk away, as Lu Yipeng shouted.
“Kongque!”
Hong Kongque paused for a moment before raising his hand to cover his ears,
“What did you say?”
Lu Yipeng gritted his teeth before speaking again, “I said to let me go first.”
“Did you call me?”
“Um…”
“Call me again.”
“Kongque… Hong Kongque.”
Hong Kongque turned back, and a smile appeared on his face, “I like it when you say those three words for real, it’s a pity you don’t say them often.
Otherwise, you would definitely become Paechichik’s rival.”
Lu Yipeng tried to use all his patience to the maximum, “Let me go, please. I can’t unlock the key without you teaching me at all.”
Hong Kongque nodded and smiled satisfactorily, “When you talk to me in this way, I like it. But where is the key?”
“In my pants pocket.” Lu Yipeng said, bending down to look at the pile of pants near the young man’s feet. He then shook his head, “I don’t want to bend down to find something, or you might take the opportunity to kick me. It’s better this way.”
Hong Kongque moved his hand to the back. It was unclear what he was taking out. Then he raised his hand above Lu Yipeng’s head, and the handcuff key slipped out.
“Be careful.” Hong Kongque warned as he carefully wrapped a piece of paper with a thumbtack into Lu Yipeng’s hand. Before he could bend down to pick up the pants, the young police officer smiled in satisfaction, “Um… you taught me well, I must dispose of it correctly. Can’t just throw it anywhere!”
Hong Kongque hurriedly left, looking at his wristwatch, “I have to hurry, let’s go.” Then he pulled Lu Yipeng’s hand outside.
…
Lu Yipeng thought he would die because of Hong Kongque’s motorcycle speed, but in the end, both of them safely returned to the mansion. When they arrived, Hong Kongque quickly went to take a shower and change clothes. The young police officer was curious about what made someone like Hong Kongque in such a hurry, as he never saw him rush before. So, he waited at the reception room of Hong Kongque.
“Ready?” Hong Kongque asked, before stepping out. He changed into a white silk suit. When he arrived at the reception room, the servant brought Paechikchik to him immediately. The parrot immediately called his name,
“Kongque… Kongque.” Then, he squawked as if trying to communicate with Hong Kongque, as if he was special, almost like his own child.
“Calm down, Paechikchik, they are coming soon. Oh, there they are!” He exclaimed as the door to the reception room was opened by two servants. In one of the servant’s hands was a birdcage with a parrot inside.
“What do you think, Paechik?”
After standing and enduring for a while, Lu Yipeng couldn’t help but ask, “Kongque, do you like it? Didn’t you say you were in a hurry, were you in a hurry to come and pick up the bird?”
Hong Kongque turned to look at him and smiled broadly, “You called my name again, sounds really good, huh… Yes. I came to welcome Little Pechikchik and his fiancé. It’s important, you know. So, are you leaving now?
Don’t drink auspicious alcohol first, okay.”
Lu Yipeng walked out of the hall hastily, ignoring Hong Kongque’s gaze that made him sigh.
“What’s with these young men these days, no matter how old they are, they still act immature.” He spoke, and handed Paechikchik to the servant to take to Con before giving orders.
“I’ll have someone buy some calcium to send to Little Yipeng, send it to his house. He wouldn’t want him to break down at work. Don’t forget to write a letter telling him that I’m worried.”
