The flowers Jiayi bought today were placed next to the landline phone. A bunch of small daisies were bright yellow, and the flowers were small, but they were blooming vigorously.

The water drops hanging on the petals sparkled with crystal light, and the long strings of flowers of unknown colors interspersed among them had a pleasant fragrance that made people feel good just by looking at and smelling them.

Fang Zhenyue pulled a chair and sat on it, taking a deep breath to smell the flowers while listening to the phone.

"You said that you saw the deceased female victim She Jingjing leaving your store with a man before?" Fang Zhenyue lowered his eyes and looked at the flowers, his idle fingers flicked on the petals, and water drops splashed everywhere. "

Yes, it was on the day of the deceased She Jingjing's death." The voice on the other side responded.

Fang Zhenyue suddenly glanced at the topic. Why did the voice sound so familiar? He asked in confusion, "Brother Jiadong?"

"Yeah, didn't I introduce myself?" Yi Jiadong asked back.

"Ha, the operator didn't tell me your name." Fang Zhenyue sat more relaxed, with one leg bent and stepped on the crossbeam of the stool, and the other leg stretched out. "The deceased actually had dinner at Yi Ji that day. What did the man with her look like? Brother Jiadong, do you remember?"

Yi Jiayi heard her brother's name and immediately bent down and put her ear to the back of the microphone.

Fang Zhenyue flicked her forehead with his finger, and the water drops on the petals were on her forehead, and then turned on the hands-free mode for everyone to listen.

"Not only do I remember what he looks like, I also know his name." Yi Jiadong sighed and reported rapidly:

"The man's name is Qin Xiaolei, he is about six feet (1.86 meters) tall, very strong and capable, and a very honest person. There is a football field being built on Yanjia Street, so I went to the construction site to find him to help me build a canopy. His family is from the countryside of Kwai Chung, and he came to Sham Shui Po to do odd jobs. He wanted to earn more money to build a tiled house and marry a good-tempered wife.

"The deceased, She Jingjing, invited him back to her home, and it seemed that she asked him to help clean the range hood, and gave him a hundred or something Hong Kong dollars.

"I don't know where he lives, but if you go to the Yanjia Street construction site and ask the construction manager there, you might know."

Jiayi quickly wrote down the key information on the side.

"Thank you, brother Jiadong. The clues you provided are very important. I'll treat you to a drink later." Fang Zhenyue said with a smile.

"No need, no need. I am also a family member of a police officer. This is what we citizens should do!" Yi Jiadong laughed and said, "I won't disturb you from working on the case," and then hung up the phone.

After Fang Zhenyue hung up the phone, Jiayi smiled and looked at him proudly, saying, "My eldest brother is really amazing."

"Yes, the Yi family has produced many heroes." Fang Zhenyue smiled and teased her, then stood up from the chair. When he stood up straight, he finally looked a little dignified and majestic. "Let's go to the Yanjia Street construction site together and see if we can find Qin Xiaolei today."

"Yes, sir!" There were responses in the office, and the detectives were ready to go again.

...

...

The overnight storm had turned the construction site into a mess, with construction tools toppled and building materials scattered, as if it was a family war scene, where the wife had gone mad and smashed things to vent her anger.

The children were powerless to appease their parents' anger, so they could only quietly bury their heads in cleaning up the mess.

Whether it was windy or rainy, work had to be done.

Fang Zhenyue and his team moved forward with difficulty in the mud and mess. Uncle Jiu kept reminding the young people as they walked: "There are a lot of nails, glass fragments, rusty iron sheets and the like on this kind of construction site. Everyone should be careful of your feet and the surrounding environment. If you step on a nail, you will get a rash. Scratches and bumps are also very troublesome."

"I know, Uncle Jiu, don't worry." Liu Jiaming smiled and looked at the road surface under his feet as he walked. It was obvious that he was very afraid of getting hurt.

After finding the foreman, Fang Zhenyue went forward to negotiate. Sanfu and several others radiated to ask other construction workers if anyone knew Qin Xiaolei, how much they knew about Qin Xiaolei, whether this person had violent tendencies, and what his social situation was like.

A few minutes later, everyone collected some information and returned. When they gathered in the parking lot, they shared their information one by one:

"He lives in a cage house in the north of Sham Shui Po, near Shek Kip Mei. Now that we have the address, let's go." Fang Zhenyue said as he opened the car door and got in first.

Living in a cage house does look very poor. Often, such places divide a unit room into countless beds, like a cage for people to sleep in, hence the name.

"Coworkers say Qin Xiaolei is very honest and simple, and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would conflict with others." Sanfu sat in the back seat of the car and began to narrate the information he had obtained.

"However, many people said that Qin Xiaolei is very strong and capable. Others push carts to carry four cement bags at a time. He can load six or seven or even more bags on his tricycle and still push it with great vigor." Liu Jiaming added information after getting on the car.

Before Lin Wangjiu drove away to drive his car, he left a message: "Qin Xiaolei would pick up a lot of scrap copper, iron, paper shells, etc. after work every day and take them back to sell for some money. These scraps of copper and iron, if in the right shape, could become murder tools in the hands of a strong man, so we should be more vigilant."

"Qin Xiaolei hasn't come to work in the past two days. He may have fled for fear of crime. I asked his co-workers for the specific address of his hometown. If we don't find him in the cage in Shek Kip Mei, we can go to North Ho Pui Village in Kwai Chung." Jiayi got in the car and closed the door.

After the jeep started, she spoke again: "I haven't applied for a gun yet. If we carry out a capture operation later, I will definitely not rush forward without knowing my own limitations, and I will definitely not cause trouble for everyone!"

She promised.

"Xiao Shiyi is amazing, so sensible." Liu Jiaming smiled and patted her shoulder, "How come we, Group B, have encountered a young man like you who is smart, amazing, and has a sense of the overall situation, never shows weakness at critical moments, and never acts stubbornly when encountering danger!" "

That's what I mean." Gary also smiled and responded.

Everyone joked along the way, and after arriving at the wooden house area in Shek Kip Mei and getting off the car one after another, they quickly put away their playful attitudes, and each of them calmly took a deep breath, with Fang Zhenyue as the leader, and fanned out to the cage house where Qin Xiaolei lived.

They hid their right hands under their coats, holding their rifles, turning into wild beasts waiting for an opportunity, ready to show their fangs at any time.

Jiayi looked around, found half a door panel on the grass slope where there were many miscellaneous items in the wooden house area, wrapped her hands with clothes, grabbed the door panel as a shield, and followed everyone.

Qin Xiaolei, who she saw in telepathic resonance, worked for She Jingjing like a big yellow cattle. When Yao Jiner came up, he began to be confused, and when he was attacked by She Jingjing, his expression of counterattack was also full of fear.

Jiayi felt that he didn't look like a bad person, but the dog jumped over the wall when it was desperate, and the rabbit bit people when it was desperate, so she should protect herself first.

Although this body has taken many confrontational courses and received a lot of special training in school, Jiayi is a "scholar" who traveled through time and space. She has never fought with anyone. Even when playing PUBG with elementary school students, she was beaten. It is better not to dream of becoming a tough girl in the blink of an eye.

While she was praying for a successful capture, Fang Zhenyue had already walked into the doorway with Gary and a few others.

The wooden houses here are all built with two or three floors, and divided into countless houses as much as possible. Qin Xiaolei rented one of the seven cages in a room on the right side of the first floor.

At Fang Zhenyue's signal, Gary knocked on the door gently.

There was no sound from inside. A minute later, Gary knocked on the door for the second time and asked, "Is anyone there? I live upstairs and forgot to turn off the faucet. The house is flooded. Is there any water leaking down from your house?"

There was still no one in the house to answer. Fang Zhenyue put his ear to the door and suddenly frowned.

He vaguely heard some footsteps, his mind raced, and he suddenly looked towards the window, "Sanfu, be careful!"

Sanfu, who was guarding outside the window, heard Fang Zhenyue's shout, and instantly widened his eyes and clenched his fists. The next moment, the window was suddenly knocked open, and a huge figure jumped out of it and landed in front of Sanfu.

Sanfu immediately stretched out his arms to catch him, and shouted at the same time: "Police! Don't move!"

The man was Qin Xiaolei. He was so panicked that his eyes were red, and he didn't hear what the man said at all. Seeing the other party coming towards him, he instinctively raised his arm.

With this swing, his fist hit Sanfu's shoulder.

Sanfu felt half of his body numb, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. After a few stumbles, he managed to stand firm, but his left arm was already a little unable to lift.

Qin Xiaolei is so strong.

Sanfu turned his left arm slightly and was about to chase him again, but suddenly he let out a low cry of fear. It turned out that Jiayi was waiting outside the house behind Fang Zhenyue and others, silently observing and learning the capture techniques. After

Qin Xiaolei smashed Sanfu, he fled to the other side of the house and ran directly into Jiayi.

Jiayi was also frightened, but she was still rational. When Qin Xiaolei rushed in front of her, she pushed the "door-breaking shield" forward and shouted:

"Qin Xiaolei, you can't escape, just surrender!"

Qin Xiaolei raised his fist, but suddenly he looked down on this woman, so he stopped moving, stepped to the side, and ran away from Jiayi.

Even in a critical moment, he would not hit a woman.

Fang Zhenyue had already caught up to her, and took a quick look at Jiayi in his busy schedule. Seeing that she was fine, he continued to chase her.

Qin Xiaolei was more familiar with this area. He jumped over a fence and fled to the wasteland behind.

When Jiayi was looking for cover, she took a quick look at the surrounding terrain, so she ran after him while shouting,

"Brother Yue, there is a drainage ditch over there. Jump farther when you climb over the wall, or you will fall in."

Fang Zhenyue was climbing over the wall. When he heard this reminder, he put more strength in his hands and jumped farther.

After landing, he looked back and saw a ditch under the wall.

Fortunately, Jiayi reminded him, and the thought of "I don't know when she has surveyed the surrounding environment" flashed through his mind, and he had already rushed out nearly ten meters.
