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.
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 …
