Chapter 658: Evidence!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Today was the weekend, and the building was closed.
He Yu and Dong Xiyou didn’t have to go to work.
Taking advantage of the good afternoon sun, the two of them went to the flat again.
It did not feel so eerie during the day.
When Dong Xiyou opened the door, her neighbor had just returned.
It was the old man in the white shirt who was beaten up by Su Ji.
Dong Xiyou asked him about what happened that week, wanting to see if he could provide any clues. The old man was a little afraid of them, so although he found it annoying, he still answered them. Later on, Dong Xiyou and He Yu asked him more questions, and the old man started to lose patience.
After taking a closer look, he realized that the girl who was powerful last time was not here at all!!
The man’s eyelids drooped, and his attitude immediately changed. “I’m not a police officer. What do I know? You renters are the most annoying. I don’t Imow where you provoked a man of unknown origin. You caused such a huge commotion and even ruined the property prices!”
He Yu was stunned. “Why are you so rude?”
“So what?”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Dong Xiyou pushed He Yu aside and stepped forward. She was not angered by the old man’s words at all and asked calmly, “how did you know that the perpetrator was a man?”
He Yu paused for a moment.
The grandpa choked. “I…” I… Why do you care how I know?”
With that, he was about to open the door when He Yu blocked his way. “You really have to make this clear. Otherwise, if you don’t report it to the police, we might suspect that you…are colluding with criminals.”
“Bullshit!” The old man was anxious when he heard this, but he was afraid that they would really go to the police and cause more trouble for him, so he patiently recalled why he thought it was a man…
“I heard his footsteps!” A few seconds later, he remembered. “He sounded like he’s wearing men’s leather shoes.”
Dong Xiyou was deep in thought.
Zhou Zicheng usually liked to wear leather shoes.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the old man quickly opened the door and entered the house.
“If you dare to f * cking knock on my door and ask me more questions, I’ll call the police!”
After saying that, there was a bang! The door slammed shut!
Dong Xiyou:
He Yu:
A second later, He Yu reacted and wanted to knock on the door.
Dong Xiyou pulled him back. “Forget it. We have important matters to attend to.”
When she entered the flat, she let out a small sigh and muttered to herself, “if only Su Ji was here. I’m sure the old man wouldn’t dare to be so fierce.”
He Yu’s eyes narrowed!
Dong Xiyou’s rented flat was dimly lit, but the windows were not small. The light was good during the day, so he could see things much clearer than when they came last night.
When the old man mentioned footsteps, Dong Xiyou recalled the footsteps that she had heard during those days.
Now that she thought about it carefully, it did seem to be the sound of men’s leather shoes stepping on the ground.
However, such subjective things could not be used as evidence to convict him.
However, other than the sound of footsteps, Zhou Zicheng did not make any sound.
Dong Xiyou observed her surroundings and carefully recalled the only clue she had.
She was locked in the bathroom at that time, and there were echoes from the walls around her, so she was especially sensitive to sound.
She seemed to remember…Zhou Zicheng’s footsteps. She had heard the sound of something hard sliding against the ground…it was very subtle…
She told this to He Yu, who pondered for a moment. “Maybe he stepped on a hard stone. This can’t be used as evidence.”
Dong Xiyou nodded.
Indeed.
Dong Xiyou hung up a square decorative painting in the bathroom, which was the only decoration that made the flat look warmer.
It was a handmade diamond painting that had been popular some time ago. Countless sticky, multicolored, man-made “diamonds” were pasted one by one according to the color labels to make some kind of pattern.
It was similar to cross-stitching and digital oil painting.
Dong Xiyou’s painting took her three days to complete.
He Yu saw it at a glance because it was a picture of a grapefruit. He thought it looked good. “Do you want to take this painting with you?”
Dong Xiyou thought for a moment and nodded.
He Yu helped her take it off. Dong Xiyou took it and examined it. Her fingers caressed it and she realized that one of the diamonds had fallen off.
She looked around but couldn’t find it. She didn’t even know when it had fallen. She remembered that when she bought it, the seller said that it was very sticky.
He Yu said, “I’ll help you find it.”
Dong Xiyou said that it was fine. It was only one missing.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zhicheng was still at the abandoned factory. Miyazawa Ta had already entered the recovery stage after the surgery.
The bandages had not been removed yet, so the result was still uncertain.
The doctor was tied to a stool with a black bag over his head and a seal on his mouth. Because of his struggling, he kicked the ground and made a sound.
He was sobbing.
On the bed next to him, Miyazawa Ta and Zhou Zicheng were chatting as if no one was around. Zhou Zicheng had bought some food for his son and was feeding him.
Miyazawa Ta was very sensible. “Dad, I can eat by myself.”
He had bandages on his face, so he couldn’t speak clearly.
Zhou Zhicheng nodded in relief and got up to pour him some water.
He was still wearing the same leather shoes. When he walked, the sound of hard objects sliding against the ground was still there.
However, it was very small. If one did not listen carefully, one would not notice it.
Miyazawa Ta looked at his shoes. “Dad, your shoes are old. When I get out of here, I’ll buy you a new pair.”
Zhou Zicheng praised him for being a good son. “These are not important.
When you’re better, I have more important things for you to do.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Miyazawa Ta was in a good mood after the final plastic surgery. Since Zhou Zicheng didn’t want to say anything, he didn’t ask.
“By the way, dad.” He remembered something else. “That b * tch, Su Ji, seems to be filming a very dangerous scene today. Have you seen the news?”
Zhou Zicheng took an apple and used a sharp fruit knife to cut it between the skin and the flesh. He spun the apple with his other hand and peeled it skillfully. “I am in charge of their planning.”
“That’s true.” Miyazawa Ta chewed with difficulty and grimaced. “Dad, I heard that she’s going to ride a white tiger. Do you think she’ll get into an accident?”
It was not hard to hear the anticipation in his tone.
Zhou Zicheng slowly peeled the skin without pausing.
“Well…” He slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at Miyazawa Ta.. He said mysteriously, “who knows…”
