You Mingxu stood up straight, calmed himself, and knocked on the door.
The sound of sharpening the knife stopped abruptly, and after a while, footsteps were heard.
The door opened a crack, and Fu Wenxiu hung an anti-theft chain on the door and looked at them coldly.
He is bald and of fairly tall stature. At first glance you can tell he is tall and strong. Although You Mingxu had seen his photo in the information, he was still shocked when he saw him in person.
Fu Wenxiu is very eye-catching. This eye-catching thing does not mean handsome or ugly, but weird. He has high brow bones, but no eyebrows, leaving only two tiny streaks of hair. The nose is thin and the lips are thick. It was quite cold in late autumn, and in the middle of the night, he was at home with no clothes on except for a pair of shorts. But what was most uncomfortable was his demeanor. Even though there were two strangers standing outside the door, Fu Wenxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile that came from nowhere, a bit cold and a bit sarcastic.
You Mingxu showed him his police officer ID and explained the reason.
But he did not open the door. Instead, he said in a serious tone, "Police? Why do the police want to see me? Do you want to buy fish? But I have no fish to sell now. How about you go back and have a good sleep and come back tomorrow morning?"
Even though he spoke in a strange tone, You Mingxu did not even raise his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Yin Fengxian said, "We want to talk to you. Open the door quickly. Don't you want to know what we want to talk to you about?"
Fu Wenxiu glanced at Yin Feng, snorted, and actually took off the padlock and opened the door.
You Mingxu also looked at Yin Feng. At this time, Fu Wenxiu had turned around and walked into the house. Yin Feng smiled slightly and pointed at his head. You Mingxu understood it immediately. Was he saying that Fu Wenxiu was a little bit mentally abnormal? But how could Yin Feng figure it out after such a brief encounter?
…Do stars attract?
This is a very simple living room, with only a table, a few benches and a cabinet. It is hard to tell whether the owner has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Fu Wenxiu had no intention of inviting them to have a cup of tea. He actually sat down on a small stool on the ground and continued sharpening the knife.
You Mingxu looked him over again, but did not stop him and asked, "Are you the only one living in this room?"
Fu Wenxiu raised his head suddenly, showing a look of disgust, raised a finger, put it to his lips and said, "Don't make noise, Xiaolong is sleeping."
You Mingxu was stunned.
According to the information provided by Yin Feng, Fu Wenxiu divorced his ex-wife 5 years ago, and his son Xiaolong also left Huaicheng with his ex-wife.
"Okay, okay." Yin Feng said in a serious tone, "We won't argue. Let's continue asking you questions, okay?"
Fu Wenxiu suddenly smiled, his eyes flashing, and continued to sharpen the knife.
You Mingxu: "Where were you last night?"
He replied: "Here?"
"Anyone else?"
Fu Wenxiu glanced at her calmly and said, "Of course it's with Xiaolong."
"What did you do?"
Fu Wenxiu stood up, raised the extremely sharp long knife that seemed to be used to butcher fish, and said to himself, "It's almost sharpened."
…
"Do you have a car?"
Still staring at the knife, he replied, "Stop at the back."
Seeing that he didn't care, You Mingxu and Yin Feng walked through the house and went to the back. When You Mingxu saw the old Jinbei van parked crookedly under the big tree, his eyes lit up.
The two returned to the house and asked some more questions. Fu Wenxiu answered in a disjointed manner, sometimes absent-mindedly, sometimes suddenly laughing, and sometimes pretending not to hear and concentrating on sharpening the knife.
Finally, You Mingxu took out the fingerprint collection tool and handed it to Yin Feng. Yin Feng said: "Fu Wenxiu, stretch out your hands and press it."
Fu Wenxiu was sweating all over his back from sharpening the knife. He was breathing slightly and looked up at what You Mingxu was holding. He suddenly gave a meaningful smile, then stood up and raised his hands towards them with his fingers spread out.
You Mingxu and Yin Feng were both stunned.
Fu Wenxiu's fingers looked like they had been soaked in water for a long time. The tips of his ten fingers were white and covered with rotten skin.
He laughed even more proudly, “Hehehehe”.
You Mingxu remained unmoved. He grabbed his hand and pressed it on the fingerprint card.
It was already past midnight when I left Fu Wenxiu's house. The fourth person lives within a hundred meters.
This is a pork shop outside the vegetable market. The shop door was closed and it was dark. A lingering smell of blood and flesh lingered.
"Let's go to the back and take a look." You Mingxu said.
I didn’t expect the yard behind the house to be so big, at least 70 or 80 square meters. There are trees and a few houses in the yard. There is light through the crack of the courtyard door.
You Mingxu knocked on the door.
After a long while, the sound of staggering footsteps was heard. A thin old man with gray hair stood behind the door. His face was deeply wrinkled and wooden. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"
You Mingxu showed his ID and stated his purpose: he was looking for his only son Deng Yao.
The old man was silent for a while, then said, "He's already asleep... He can't be woken up even if you shout. Come back tomorrow."
You Mingxu smiled, took a step forward inconspicuously, leaned against the door, and said, "Uncle, a wanted criminal has escaped recently, and we have to question every household. This is a routine procedure and will be quick. I would like to trouble you to cooperate. If you don't cooperate, we can only ask your son to go back to the police station to assist in the investigation, which will be even more troublesome, right?"
Yin Feng yawned and said, "Yes, uncle, we have visited dozens of houses and are exhausted. If we finish asking questions soon, we can go back to bed earlier."
You Mingxu's lips were slightly curled.
The old man said, "Wait a minute, I'll talk to my wife." Then he walked a few steps into the yard and shouted to a lighted room, "Fenghua, Fenghua... The police are here. They want to arrest a wanted criminal and ask Ayao for questioning. You take a rest. I'll come after they finish questioning."
No one in the house responded.
The old man let them into the yard. You Mingxu looked around quickly. It was dark and nothing seemed unusual at first glance. There was also a bloody smell in the yard, and there were mottled marks of varying depths on the cement floor. There were some mud marks on the large open space near the tree.
The old man led them into a room next door, where they were greeted by a stuffy, damp, and musty smell, as well as an indescribable odor that sounded like a human odor. You Mingxu glanced at Yin Feng. His face was frozen, and his fearless look of facing death was somewhat cute.
She touched her nose, and the old man walked to the bed. It was an iron single bed that looked very old, and a tall man was lying on it. The old man pushed the man a few times and said, "Ayao, Ayao! Get up! The police are here and want to ask you about a wanted criminal! Cooperate with us and go back to sleep after we finish talking!"
The man grunted heavily a few times like a cow, then rubbed his eyes and got up. When he sat up, You Mingxu realized that his body was like an iron tower, with dark skin and thick, strong muscles. He also looked clumsy, with thick and short eyebrows, a square face and thick lips. His eyes were dull and he sat with his head down, not making much eye contact with them.
