C33 (2/2)

I saw Yang Tianwa put the bottle of beverage under his blanket, then he lay down on his side and kissed the bottle of beverage with eyes full of tenderness, before hugging it tightly.

The lights in the house went out and the three of us quietly went out of the yard. Liao Mengfann and I looked at each other. We didn't know what Yang Tianwa's action meant.

Brother Huang asked us what's wrong, so I told him about his departure. He thought for a moment and said, ”Does he like Officer Liao?”

”Heh …” I feel a little uncomfortable with Yang Tianwa's perverted actions. Was he a sulky person? No, I rejected my idea. I said, ”I think she thinks Xiaofaan is some other person!”

”Someone else?” The Brother Huang asked, ”Why do you say that?”

I said, ”Ordinary introverts wouldn't do something like kicking a drink into a Pocket right in front of us!”

When Yang Tianwa placed the drink into his pocket, I saw a short moment of absent-mindedness in his eyes. This kind of gaze doesn't seem to match the state we were in then, so I said, ”He should have thought of some important person or event after seeing the drink! That was why he took the drink back. Now that I think about it, he must have thought of someone, and it's a woman! ”

”I think Little Chuan is right too!” Liao Mengfann said: ”He just made a kiss towards the bottle, and the bottle was given to her by me, so there are two types of people here, one is a mother, the other is a female relative, and the other is a girlfriend or someone you have a crush on!”

”En!” I nodded and said to the two of them, ”Tomorrow, after we finish investigating the site of the corpse, we will immediately head to Lotus Village's Lower Tooth Village. I feel that we will definitely be able to find something there.”

Both agreed with me, and we quietly walked back the way we had come. After walking past the house that Yang Tianwa lived in, when I turned around, I saw a small path at the back of the house. If I looked carefully, the path seemed to be the one that led to the stadium.

I called over Brother Huang and Xiaofaan and led them to see. At that time, I had an idea. If Yang Tianwa was the killer, would he have walked this path while throwing away his corpse? I told my thoughts to the two of them, and they both said that they would go over to take a look.

The clouds on the horizon obscured the moonlight. The three of us opened up our phones' screens for light, and quietly went around Yang Tianwa's house, where a temporary sandstone road appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It was surrounded by demolished construction sites, and the debris from the abandoned bricks had all been transported this way. The roads were badly paved, with large rut marks. It had been raining recently, and the roads were muddy.

Brother Huang looked at the ruts on the road, and said: ”These ruts are not new, and they are not recently dug out!”

I squatted down and used my hands to pick at the dirt on both sides of the rut. After I picked up the mud from the outside, I found that the soil inside was very hard. It seemed to have been pressed out a long time ago.

Look here!

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liao Mengfann waving at us. She was crouching in the middle of two rows of ruts, as if she had discovered something.

Brother Huang and I walked over and saw a very new rut mark where Liao Mengfann was squatting. The rut was not wide, about five or six centimeters.

The mark of this rut is in the middle of two large rutts. Looking left and right, I saw that there was a fresh little rut in the large rut to my left, and at the same time, at the outermost edge of the large rut, I could still see a small rut mark that was not very clear.

I pointed to the rut and said, ”This should be a rut mark left by an ordinary pedal!”

Liao Mengfann nodded her head, and said: ”The front wheel of the tricycle was pressed onto the original rut, which was why it was able to create this rut mark.”

I touched both sides of the rut marks. The dirt was soft and I said, ”These rut marks should have been left after the rain!”

After looking around for a while, he said, ”The tricycle should have an engine. With such a muddy road, the riders' stamina won't be that good. If it was me, I would rather push the cart than ride a bicycle.”

I said, ”Shall we look along the track marks?”

Liao Mengfann nodded in agreement. Brother Huang then said to me: ”You guys go ahead and look. I will follow the tracks and look behind to see if I can find anything. ”Let's talk on the phone!”

…

Liao Mengfann and I followed the ruts as we moved forward. As we moved forward, I saw a huge monster coming closer and closer to me. It was the Lotus Stadium.

The stadium under the night sky gave off an unprecedented feeling of oppression. The steel petals that extended in all directions gave off a strange light under the dim moonlight.

After ten minutes of walking, we came to the wall of the stadium. From a distance, the gravel road ran directly east along the stadium's outer wall, where it finally met up with the main road. As for the rut mark on the tricycle, it took a turn to the west and disappeared into the distance …
