Accidental Death

A bouquet of fresh roses. That's what Hao Shen saw when he arrived at his late sister's grave. He looked around the cemetery but could not see anyone nearby. So he sprinted down the stone stairs to find the person whom could possibly came before him. Halfway down the stairs, he could see someone entering the back seat of a black Mercedes-Benz.

"Hey, you! Wait!" He shouted and continues to run down the stone stairs. By instinct, he knew that person must be the one whom had deposited the bouquet of roses but what he wanted to know desperately was the relationship between the person and his late beloved younger sister. If he could meet the person, he probably could find more clues about her sister's murderer. Or there's a possibility that person was the one whom had killed his sister.

The person seems to hear what he yelled and turned to the side to look out the car but did not planned to heed on his order, as a young woman whom he assumed that person's assistant politely closed the car door. Frustration run through his whole being when the young woman just bowed slightly at him before she went into the driver seat and sped off. Leaving him panting heavily on the last flight of stairs and could only watching the car vanished from his sight.

"Track down a black Mercedes-Benz that just left the Eternal Memorial towards the western main road. I want the details of the car's owner, now!" Hao Shen cut off the call and cursed internally at his choice of attires as he made his way up to the topmost ground. If only he wore his sport shoes not his leather shoes, he could ran more faster and probably succeeded in chasing after the suspicious person. And he felt furious too by the lack of surveillance cameras around the cemetery ground.

Minutes later, his phone ringing and he quickly answered it. "Who?"

"It's registered under Xia Enterprise's company. So it's right to assumed the owner is that Xia Min." Qing Fai blurted in a rush. "You met him at the cemetery?"

"Could be him or maybe not." Hao Shen kneeling down in front of his sister's grave and placed three stem of white roses on it before gently wipes her photo that plastered on the tomb.

"..."

"I'll talk to you later." He disconnected the call before Qing Fai could reply and chucked his phone in his suit inner pocket.

"Ying Ying.. Brother's here. It's been five years.. I've missed you everyday." He glided his fingers on her name carved on the tomb and today date that dated five years ago. His eyes reddened in the next second.

"Are you happy? Uhm..no.. You must be unable to rest in peace as the person whom had killed you still nowhere to be known. You must be feeling utter disappointed in me, right?" He choked on his tears.

"The whole city or maybe the whole world praised me as a brilliant surgeon, that could revived a dying person with my scalpel. But I failed to be a better brother for you. Could you forgive me for my negligence? Could you forgive me for my incompetence?"

Peals of his tears dropped on the ground when he bowed his body forward with both hands palmed his knees. His body shook and his soft sobs echoed around the eerily silent graveyard, evoking some dread in someone if by chance they heard him.

In the almost dark surroundings, a meter away, a man could be seen standing for unknown period of time before he slowly approaching Hao Shen from behind him and stretched his hand to pat Hao Shen's shoulders.

"Aw..Aw..Aw.. Ouch! Let me go! It's me, Fai." Qing Fai hollered in pain when his wrist was grabbed and twisted by Hao Shen in a flash before he could even touch his body. Meanwhile, Hao Shen retracted his lifted leg that just an inch away from Qing Fai's head and glared at his friend. "Dumb."

Flapping his hand that was almost crushed by Hao Shen, Qing Fai bouncing on his spot to lessen the pain while cursing him to the sky.

"Cursing me because of your own foolishness won't make the pain go away. Stop creeping behind me in the future, as I won't be responsible for your accidental death. Unless you want to die early, I won't mind." Hao Shen indifferently uttered while dusting his pants. "What're you doing here?"

"I'm just worried about you. It's been over an hour and the sky almost turned dark. I had sent you several messages but you did not even reply to any. In the end, you almost kill me when I'm just trying to express my concerns. Ungrateful bastard!"

"I'm not a kid, Fai. I know how to protect myself. Furthermore, I won't be dead before I get the pending justice for my sister. So you don't need to be so anxious now. I'll take better care of myself, so when I found out the culprit, I'll have the energy to torture him or her until that person wished for instant death."

Qing Fai could only nodded his head and sighed internally as he followed behind his friend, trudging down the back route of the cemetery and treading to Hao Shen's car in silence.

"Why are you following me now? Where's your own car?" Hao Shen glanced at his friend and got into his seat.

"I asked my assistant to bring the car back," Qing Fai opened the door of the shot gun seat but frowned when it did not budged.

Hao Shen rolled down the window and Qing Fai felt a bad premonition by the evil smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I didn't invite you into my car."

"What?" Qing Fai bewildered.

"Search for your own transportation. Mind you, someone had heard a wailing of a woman in this area." Hao Shen saluted him with two fingers and drove off, leaving the frightened man gaping in disbelief.

"Hey, hey...don't leave me here alone. Fu*k you, Shen!!!" Qing Fai chased and yelling at the car.
