Chapter 18: The Great Turn
It is reasonable to say this, if a person is extraordinarily tall, or extraordinarily short, or particularly fat, particularly thin, etc., it can be regarded as a relatively recognizable appearance, afraid of being decent, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, because there are too many people with this characteristic, there is no way to distinguish and distinguish, especially now when it comes to a homicide, everyone will become extra cautious, for fear that a sentence is not accurate enough, not objective enough, It can have a big impact.
Therefore, the landlord and his wife looked left and right, and there was no way to determine whether the person in the photo was "Li Jiawei" who rented a house with them, and they didn't dare to say a happy conclusion, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan could also understand.
But in this way, the originally promising clues were interrupted again, which made everyone feel a little frustrated, and unwilling to continue to collect more clues to determine the identity of the informant, and retrieved more surveillance video, hoping to find a picture that captured the face of the man in the beanie, but the result was also disappointing, the person deliberately lowered his head all the way, and chased the surveillance video of several intersections, but did not find a picture that could see the face clearly, until the end, The man blended into the crowd waiting for the bus at a bus stop, and after a while, three or four buses came to the bus at that stop, and the people who got on and off the bus were in a mess, and then the man did not know which bus he got on and disappeared from view.
The clues were interrupted again, and this time the process from hope to disappointment again and again made several people involved in the investigation have a feeling of fire in their hearts that cannot be released. Very unpleasant.
Fang Yuan also felt a fire in her heart, which made her feel impetuous, and she often had an inexplicable feeling of wanting to lose her temper. She felt irritable because she couldn't find the direction of the investigation, and at this juncture, when she returned home after working overtime one day, she received a call from Fang's father.
Fang Yuan was a person who was holding back his anger, the state of the whole person was like a dynamite bag, and the existence of Fang's father was like that little spark. When it burns like this, there are signs that it wants to explode.
"Why are you calling me again? Want to tell me that you've found more powerful people and found more influential ways to make trouble? Fang Yuan didn't even have the patience to ask Father Fang's purpose for calling this time. I just want to vent all the grievances that have accumulated recently because of business or private affairs.
Father Fang was silent for a moment on the other side of the phone, and for the first time, he didn't reprimand Fang Yuan in anger because of his disrespectful attitude. But after a slight silence. opened his mouth and said to her: "You say, why are you so angry all day long in your little girl's family?" Don't learn to be like your mother, that stinky temper, who can stand it after a long time! I haven't spoken yet, you just told me indiscriminately, I'm also your father, I don't expect you to be respectful to me. You'll have to be a little polite, right? ”
"Say whatever you want, I've been very busy lately. I don't have time to gossip with you. Fang Yuan said impatiently, she already had a preconceived belief in her bones, Father Fang must have something to say.
However, the purpose of Father Fang's call this time was really beyond Fang Yuan's expectations, and what he said next was not Fang Yuan's expectations at all. He was slightly silent again, and then said: "I just thought about it for the past few days, and I felt that when I was dealing with this matter that day, I was not very calm, although you said that your attitude was not good enough, but you are a child after all, and I, who am a father, should not be familiar with you, so let's turn this matter over, and no one should mention it, so as not to hurt my feelings too much." I've also thought about it, maybe I've always been used to treating you as a child, so it's a bit too much, think about it, you're also in your twenties, you're an adult, and you can actually make up your mind if there's anything, so I don't care about it in the future, you can do whatever you want, I don't plan to interfere so much, you just think it's good. ”
Fang Yuan was confused by Father Fang's words, although she could understand every word of what Father Fang meant, but she couldn't help but be a little confused in her heart. So she endured it, but she still didn't hold back, frowned, and asked, "Have you ever drunk?" Is this drunken talk? ”
"What kind of wine do I drink, what do I say, do you listen to me like a drunken person?" Father Fang didn't expect Fang Yuan's reaction to be a little questioning, and his attitude seemed a little impatient, "Okay, I've told you everything I should say, I was annoyed by your mother before, and I had no choice but to do it, so I went to your unit to find your leader, and I won't go in the future, you can do whatever you like, if you want to be good with that kid to the end, then you will be good to the end, I won't interfere, your mother's side, I'll see if I can do the work, I'll help you do the work, but I can't guarantee anything, what virtue does your mother have, It's not that you don't know, if she doesn't listen to persuasion, what else is there to toss, it's not that your father and I don't believe in what we say, and we can't do it if we agree. ”
"Why did your attitude suddenly change so much? Do you have any other considerations or plans that contradict my mother's ideas? If you have anything to say, just say it. Of course, Fang Yuan would not believe the excuse that Father Fang had treated herself as a child before, and now realized that he was already an adult in his twenties, after all, when she had not yet graduated and even the most basic independent life was a problem, Father Fang had already expressed a lot of dissatisfaction when he agreed to pay tuition and living expenses on the grounds that she was over eighteen years old and an adult. After two years of tossing, Fang Yuan had long since stopped having any illusions about his parents, and he also understood that after they each got married, they all had their own little abacus, and when it had nothing to do with her, she could ignore it, but once it involved herself, Fang Yuan had to guard against them for her own interests.
"What do I have to say! Don't be too ignorant, you kid, don't draw an equal sign between me and your mother! Father Fang was a little displeased. Annoyed, he said, "I've made it clear to you, I don't have any calculations." I'm just a father, as your father, I want you, my own daughter, to be well, what's so strange about that?! Do you have to think so badly about your father? What's more, I'm fed up with your mother's person, and I have to meddle in everything before the divorce, and there is nothing she can't handle. Now that I've been married to her for so long, wouldn't it be good for her to live her life, and be a mother who calculates her daughter so much. It's still paving the way for other men, so I won't say anything about her, but she wants to drag me into the water all the time, and I don't bother to talk to her about her...... Come on. It's useless to talk too much. That's what it means, believe it or not, anyway, I have a clear conscience in this matter, you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, he was impatient to explain anything to Fang Yuan, and directly hung up the phone unilaterally.
Fang Yuan listened to the hang-up sound coming from inside the phone, and looked at the screen of the mobile phone that had automatically returned to the standby interface, and couldn't help but be a little dazed. It's a little bit hard to come back to your senses all of a sudden, and this plot reversal is a little too fast, right? These days, she is busy with work. The anger in that belly contains the anxiety caused by the lack of clues in the case, and there are also private factors in it. Father Fang said that he wanted to find a higher leader that day, she had been worried, and she was a little worried every day, especially when Dai Xu suddenly received a call, Fang Yuan really didn't want to have any impact on Dai Xu for no reason because of those bad things in her own family, but she didn't have the ability and power to stop and control Father Fang's actions, so she could only worry secretly.
But now, he didn't do anything, his father actually took the initiative to call him, and his inexplicable attitude took a 180-degree turn, if this was not some conspiracy, then this was simply a giant reassuring pill that fell from the sky, and all of a sudden the worries in Fang Yuan's heart were eliminated.
Fang Yuan believed that his father should not be using any strategy to test himself or delay himself, after all, he had no ability to stop this matter before, except for anger and helplessness, even Dai Xu was the same, if his father still had such a mind, he didn't need to deal with himself at all, he could just implement it. So since he said that he would not interfere in the future, he would not ask, and let himself get along with Dai Xu, which showed that he really gave up, and the reason for giving up was that Father Fang refused to say, and Fang Yuan could only guess by himself. There is probably only one reason she can think of, just like Fang's father said, at first he agreed to wade into this troubled water, because he couldn't stand his ex-wife's entanglement and noise, so now he suddenly defected to the camp, and it is estimated that he can only be entangled by Fang's mother, which is really annoying, and the doubt is that his current remarried wife knows that he was dragged into the water by Fang's mother, so he is not allowed to help Fang's mother do anything.
How much Fang's father's remarried wife minded Fang's mother, after Fang's father's divorce, in order to separate from Fang's mother, even Fang Yuan could be involved for no reason, these are obvious facts, so if it was because of her, it was very possible to prevent Fang's father from helping Fang's mother to put pressure on herself, and if it was really such a reason, Fang Yuan also felt that he was a blessing in disguise and picked up a big bargain.
But after thinking about it, she felt that this matter was still a bit strange, Fang's father touched the dust of his nose because he was provoked by Dai Xu's authority, and he had always looked very unpleasant to Dai Xu, and his remarried wife had not received too good a face and too enthusiastic treatment from Dai Xu, so naturally he would not have a good impression of Fang Yuan's boyfriend, every time he mentioned Dai Xu before, even before this bloody incident, Fang's father was also very disgusted and disgusted, but he didn't directly say anything derogatory to Dai Xu, But this time it was different, although Father Fang did not directly mention Dai Xu and evaluate him, but what Fang Yuan said, he believed in Fang Yuan's vision, which was tantamount to an indirect affirmation of Dai Xu.
Judging from Fang's father's usual attitude of parental dignity, such an attitude change should not only be a sign of a remarried wife and an ex-wife, or his own impatience with his ex-wife's entanglement, there must be some other factors behind it, as for what that factor would be, Fang Yuan couldn't think of it, and she didn't bother to waste her brain analysis, she only knew that no matter what the reason, Fang's father's attitude suddenly changed, for herself, she was happy to see it, At least the time bomb that was hanging overhead was temporarily lifted.
Even if his family situation and personal situation have not been significantly improved and changed because of this, but without that worry, when he thought of Dai Xu's parents who didn't know when they would suddenly come over, Fang Yuan's heart could also breathe a sigh of relief, if he had a bad influence on Dai Xu because of himself, no matter how easy-going and easy Dai Xu said his parents, she probably wouldn't have the courage to meet the second elder of the Dai family.
Putting down the big stone in his heart, Fang Yuan slept a lot more peacefully this night, and when he got up the next morning, his spirit was a little more than usual, this change was still quite significant, at least it would not escape Dai Xu's eyes, under Dai Xu's inquiry, she briefly said that her father would not trouble them again, and said that Fang's father's attitude had changed, Rao was always relatively calm After hearing the news, Dai Xu, who had always been relatively calm, raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and then asked Fang Yuan jokingly: " Would you like to see what time your dad called last night, and let's use that set of numbers to buy a lottery ticket? ”
Of course, Fang Yuan knew that he was teasing, so he slapped him in the face and laughed at the proposal.
Dai Xu has never been a person who likes to dwell on an issue for too long, especially a problem that has already been solved, so why Father Fang suddenly changed his attitude, he didn't get curious, just like Fang Yuan, he didn't mention it again, with an attitude that no matter what the reason was for him, in short, everything would be fine if no one continued to add to the blockage.
In the next whole day, Fang Yuan followed Dai Xu to the vicinity of the crime scene again, this time they focused on visiting and understanding the mysterious informant who captured the figure in the surveillance video, although this work was still boring and exhausting, but she was a little more energetic than usual, without the time bomb of Fang's father, Fang's mother estimated that there was no other way, and she hadn't contacted himself much recently, Yang Zhiyuan didn't know if he chose to retreat in the face of difficulties, Maintaining a rare silence like Fang's mother, after all, the only trouble in front of Fang Yuan was the case in hand, and the case that was originally irritating seemed to have become less unbearable.
