C39 (1/2)
I ran all the way, and by the time I reached the interrogation room, I was already out of breath. My back was drenched in sweat, and I felt a sudden itch. I didn't have time to care about the feeling on my back as I pushed open the door of the interrogation room. I saw a lot of city leaders standing in front of the one-way mirror.
Through the one-way mirror, I saw Lee Futian sitting on the interrogation chair, his hands and feet tightly cuffed. Zhang Tianyang was standing at the one-way mirror, talking to the leaders.
Seeing the two of us enter, Zhang Tianyang laughed and directly gave me a cigarette. I thought for a moment, then accepted it, he lit it for me and laughed out loud: ”Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I'll catch Lee Futian first! ”Ha!”
I was a little angry, but I couldn't take it anymore. I patted his shoulder, ”Brother Zhang is really amazing, what's going on?”
”Ha, what a coincidence!” Zhang Tianyang laughed, ”This guy actually showed up at the market on Ru Nan Street this morning. It just so happened that I met him when I was leading my team there to get a better understanding of the situation!”
”What a coincidence!” I nodded and took a drag of my cigarette. ”Brother Zhang, why don't you go and interrogate him?”
”Isn't he waiting for a brother!?” Zhang Tianyang said in a loud voice, obviously speaking for the others to hear. He said, ”Let's interrogate them together, brother, you be the head judge!”
”Damn it!” I was secretly angered and waved my hands, ”What are you saying, Brother Zhang. Since you caught him, how can I be the head judge? ”I'll just sit by the side and listen!”
”That won't do!” Zhang Tianyang immediately pulled on my arm, ”Come, let's go together. Since you're sent from above, your detection abilities are definitely stronger than ours, give us some advice!”
The case is more important. Although I am currently very angry, I still have to go in with Zhang Tianyang. Liao Mengfann nodded at me and stayed outside.
Once he entered, Zhang Tianyang slammed the table and shouted angrily at Lee Futian: ”Don't act dumb here, you know what the situation is like. Be honest and open-minded, there are all leaders outside, they are watching!”
I saw Lee Futian inadvertently ”tremble” once as he slowly raised his head.
It was really just as Brother Huang had said. His entire face was covered in black paint, and if one did not examine him carefully, one would not be able to recognize him. He gave a ”ah” smile at Zhang Tianyang, ”What do you want to ask? How did I kill that woman? ”Hahahaha!”
This guy is a little psychologically abnormal, but it seems to me that he's not a serious type, and his condition is such that he can bear the consequences of his crimes. ”I knocked on the interrogation table and told him,” Don't laugh, your fingerprints are all over the drill, the plastic template, the freezer, and the box of 101 glue.
”Plastic template?” Lee Futian's mouth revealed a smile, ”Fuck, that is a plate used to feed chickens, to force city people!”
He shook his head, then continued: ”During the third match, I was near Lotus Seed Mountain picking up trash, and when I bumped into Wang Guifen, I strangled her to death!”
”Lotus Seed Mountain?” I pushed Zhang Tianyang. ”What is that place?”
Ah!” Zhang Tianyang said: ”It's not far from the scene of the crime. In these few years of renovating the shantytown, that place has also been developed into a cemetery!
”Cemetery?” I was a little curious, so I asked Lee Futian: ”Why did you go to the Lotus Seed Mountain? From what I know, it's all tombs! ”
”Humph!” Lee Futian said, ”What happened to the tomb? For those who die everyday, laozi will go and pick up their food, is that illegal? ”
My throat was dry and retched as I said, ”It's not against the law, how did you kill Wang Guifen?”
Lee Futian laughed. He looked a little pleased and said: ”What fate, I just happened to come down from the grave that day and she was walking up. I recognized her at a glance, so I strangled her to death!”
Zhang Tianyang slammed the table, ”Give me the entire details!”
Lee Futian nodded his head, ”Anyway, it's death anyway, I'll tell you guys!”
My son, Li Shuisheng, was one of the few people in the village who could enter the capital. In order to let him go to school, I had to work part-time on the construction site while facing the soil and the sky.
Shui Sheng was very sensible. His friends who were around his age had all dropped out of school to work, but he was still working hard to learn. For us rural people, he said, knowledge is the only way to change fate.
He studied hard and got up at three in the morning. He slept after midnight in order to get good grades in the college entrance examination. His biggest wish was to be admitted to Peking University. He was very interested in Chinese literature and said he wanted to become a university teacher in the future. He also wanted to bring me to live in the city.
Shui Sheng was a child who didn't like to talk much, but he knew what he was doing. On the day of the college entrance exam, just like other parents, I stood outside the examination hall, hoping.
