C32 (2/2)
”How high is your education?” Liao Mengfann continued to ask.
Yang Tianwa's head was lowered, and I saw that his two forefingers were slowly rubbing against each other. He said: ”I didn't graduate from senior high yet …”
Liao Mengfann lightly turned the recording pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and asked: ”Why didn't you finish high school?”
”What's the use!” Yang Tianwa answered very straightforwardly. ”I didn't study very well, I won't be able to get into a university even if I go there.”
Liao Mengfann thoughtfully nodded her head, she helped Yang Tianwa open a bottle of beverage and passed it to him. Yang Tianwa accepted the drink but did not drink it. Instead, he covered the bottle and placed it in the Pocket.
I think his actions are quite strange. Normally, you would just put it on the table if you didn't drink it. An introvert wouldn't normally do this kind of action. I saw that Liao Mengfann also noticed this point, so she shook her head at me and continued to ask.
”Lee Futian is your distant wife's uncle. Do you know where he is now?”
Yang Tianwa shook his head, and said: ”We are just living together, in truth we are not related by blood. Back then, he was the one who brought me into the construction site, and that was it. That uncle, he was afraid that I would be bullied by others. ”
Liao Mengfann recorded everything down and asked: ”Where is your home?”
”Lotus Country Tooth Village!” Yang Tianwa replied fluently.
”Lower Tooth Village?” Liao Mengfann purposely paused for a moment before asking, ”We understand that Lee Futian's son committed suicide three years ago after taking the university entrance exams. Since you guys are from the same village, you should know something?”
Yang Tianwa raised his head, and recalled: ”At that time, I was working at the construction site, and later on I heard that Uncle Li suddenly went crazy, seems like his son died! I really don't know the specific reason. After I stopped working, it has been many months since I returned home, and everyone is no longer discussing about it. ”
”Oh, yes!” Liao Mengfann asked: ”Did you participate in the construction of Lotus Stadium?”
”Yes!” Yang Tianwa said: ”At that time, I tried to wire the construction site!”
”Relay?” I interrupted and asked, ”What does it mean? What kind of work is it? ”
Yang Tianwa said: ”Releasing the lines is using the construction blueprints, locating them using surveying and mapping equipment, directing the workers to dig the grooves, making the foundation, and so on. Then, using the ink bucket, we compare the buildings on the blueprints to concrete.”
”It's like this!” I nodded. ”In other words …” You can understand the blueprints now? ”
Yang Tianwa nodded his head, and said: ”Yes, an informant must know how to read diagrams, otherwise, it would be impossible to do it.”
I thought, if Yang Tianwa is the culprit, then he should be familiar with the stadium. But the motive? Yang Tianwa and Lee Futian were also people who were close to the dead, how could they be involved?
I asked, ”Where were you on March 3 and March 4?”
Yang Tianwa said without thinking, ”I work at the construction site. For people like us who work early in the morning, if we don't work overtime at night, we might as well just sleep.”
I pressed on. ”Where exactly are you on the night of March 4th and the morning of March 5th?”
Yang Tianwa thought for a long time before replying, ”I was working during the day at the fourth, so I slept at night. When it was 2 AM, we got up and went to bed!”
”You?” I asked, ”What do you mean?”
Yang Tianwa said: ”The workers were almost all under one teacher and their disciples, the construction site was in a hurry to complete the basics. That day, before 3 o'clock in the morning, I brought my disciples to work together.”
I looked at the time, it was already 11pm, I wrote down Yang Tianwa's phone number. I told him to call me if he sees Lee Futian. He nodded and left the conference room.
I yawned and saw that Liao Mengfann was organizing her statement. Walking behind her, I found that she was repeatedly pointing at Yang Tianwa's name. I asked: ”Do you think there's a problem with him?”
Liao Mengfann shook her head and stood up. She said to me: ”I keep having the feeling that what Yang Tianwa said just now was strange, but I couldn't think of anything that was strange. His words are logical, but I felt that he was lying!”
”Do you think he knows where Lee Futian is?”
Liao Mengfann did not answer, she thought for a while and said, ”I want to go to Lotus Village's Lower Tooth Village to take a look!”
”Lower Tooth Village?” I was actually interested in the place, but there was one place I was more interested in, and I said to her, ”It's been about six hours since we got off the plane, and within that time we figured out the range of the killer. But we didn't go to the scene to see the body.”
Liao Mengfann smiled at me and said: ”I also have the same plan. Although the City Public Security Bureau's investigators have already investigated the scene, there might be some who might not notice …”
