C33 (1/2)
Arriving at the entrance of the construction site, I saw that the Brother Huang was chatting with the old man who had obstructed us. The old man was currently beaming with joy, and continuously offered the Brother Huang cigarettes. It seems that Fu Dachun had warned him before he left, otherwise, how could the old man's attitude change so quickly?
”Gramps, are you still awake?” I walked over and patted the old man on the shoulder.
”Who is he …” The old man turned his head with dirty words in his mouth. When he saw that it was me, he immediately changed his smiling face and said, ”Aiya, so it's my little comrade. I was wondering which little brat it was!” The old man smiled as he passed the cigarettes the Brother Huang didn't take to me.
I took the cigarette and lit it. The heaviness of the cigarette in my lungs made my sleepy mind clear for a while. I asked the old man, ”Did you play more at the construction site?”
The old man said, ”That's right. What can you do at such a young age?”
”Heh …” I smiled and asked, ”Do you know the Yang Tianwa who was responsible for the filming at your construction site?”
”I do!” The old man said, ”Those two kids know their stuff, but they don't like to talk. They're suffering. When others are asleep, they chase Hei Er to work.”
”Oh?” I asked, ”Do you recall that they didn't come to work at the construction site at two or three o'clock this morning?”
”He's here, it's still dark in the morning, I just saw Yang Tianwa bringing his disciple and a mirror over to the construction site to put the wire!” The old tutor spoke without thinking.
”Mirror?” Liao Mengfann was a little curious, and asked: ”What is that thing?”
Ah!” The old man smiled. ”It's the theodolite used for work. We call that thing a mirror!
I threw my cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. ”When did they finish their work?”
”Then I don't know!” The old man said, ”We have to go back and forth to play more. I don't know when we'll leave.”
Outside the construction site, I saw ChenChen dozing on the steering wheel of the car. A wave of sleepiness hit me, and I yawned too. This case has now entered a bottleneck. Although we have deduced the range of the murderer, we were unable to put the chain of relations together.
Lee Futian could be considered a skilled worker. The two of them almost never interacted with a university lecturer. Their life paths were almost always the opposite. They could never be linked together.
I thought, Is this a case of murder and murder? Although Lee Futian was mentally ill, at times, he was bad. When he saw Wang Guifen, he had evil intentions.
Coincidentally, Lee Futian received a large freezer a few days ago, so his mental state caused a kind of delusion, and then he filled Wang Guifen's corpse with lotus seeds? At the same time, his son committed suicide after the college entrance exam, which triggered painful memories, so it was reasonable to assume that he had thrown her body away in the stadium to create panic among the students.
There's also the question of Yang Tianwa's confession. Although there isn't anything wrong with his confession, I still feel that something is amiss.
At the moment, the most important thing for him to do was to quickly find Lee Futian's whereabouts. This person had mental problems, so he wouldn't be able to go too far, at least logically, this person should not know where to escape after committing a crime.
I looked around at the unfinished bungalows and thought, This guy isn't staying in these houses right now, is he? There are hundreds of bungalows near the construction site. It would be unrealistic for the three of us to search them. It seemed like he should call Director Ding tomorrow morning and ask him to quickly search the vicinity.
As I was thinking, I walked towards the car. Just as I was about to open the car door, the Brother Huang patted my shoulder.
Brother Huang looked at Liao Mengfann and me, and said, ”I just discovered an interesting thing, I'm not specialized in criminal investigation, I don't know if it's useful!”
”Huh?” When I got interested, I asked, ”Tell me about it!”
Brother Huang raised his hand, pointed to the south side of the construction site, and said: ”That Yang Tianwa guy isn't living in the construction site.”
I thought about it, what Brother Huang said couldn't be considered as important clues. The people on the construction site all lived very casually, and Yang Tianwa himself was introverted. That was why he said it was reasonable to find an empty house to live in with his disciple.
However, I was quite curious, because I had some doubts regarding Yang Tianwa's confession, so I let the Brother Huang lead the two of us to Yang Tianwa's residence.
The place Yang Tianwa is living in is a good one-story house, the outer wall hasn't been pushed down yet, so we came to the bottom of the wall, and the three of us sneaked into the courtyard.
There were still lights on in the bungalow. We quietly went to the window and saw two wooden hammocks on the bed. There was a wooden table in the middle of the table. The table was filled with blueprints, water bottles, and other miscellaneous items.
On one of the beds was a young man with dyed yellow hair who was currently snoring. He should be Yang Tianwa's disciple. Yang Tianwa was looking at the blueprint carefully, and the drink that Liao Mengfann had just given him was placed beside him.
Yang Tianwa looked at the blueprint for a while before rolling it up. He yawned, then took off his coat and prepared to go to sleep. But just at this moment, I saw Yang Tianwa make a gesture that shocked both me and Liao Mengfann.
