Chapter 29: A Day of Peace
Early Saturday morning. As soon as Fang Qing finished washing, the doorbell rang at home.
She hung up the burglar chain and opened the crack in the door. It was a strange man I saw.
He is about 1.78 meters tall, his hair is quite long, combed back to his head, and he looks quite energetic - but it doesn't match the face with the vicissitudes of life.
He doesn't look intimidating. Maybe it's a little handsome. But what really made Fang Qing not so jealous was that he took out the police card in his pocket.
"Miss Fang, hello, my surname is Zhu."
The name is not clear, but the photo looks like it was taken recently. Fang Qing hesitated and asked:
"What's the matter? Last night, you've all finished asking what you should have asked......"
"I'm sorry......" Officer Zhu smiled with a little apology: "I'm not here to interrogate you, your alibi has been confirmed, and the police have ruled out your suspicion." I just came over to collect some of Fu Sizhe's personal belongings and do some finishing touches. ”
Fang Qing thought about it for a while, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she said "Wait a minute" and opened the door.
Officer Zhu walked in and took off his shoes.
"Do you want water?"
"If I don't bother you."
"Nothing."
When Fang Qing went to pour water for him, the bedroom door in the middle opened, and Fu Ying'er poked her head out of the crack in the door, sleepy-eyed:
"Mom?"
She looked around and saw the strange man standing at the door, and was stunned, who winked at her and asked with a smile:
"Can I borrow a toilet?"
It's the police again. Fu Ying'er sighed in her heart, retracted half of her head, stretched out her finger to point him in the direction of the toilet, and closed the bedroom door.
Officer Zhu shrugged his shoulders and walked straight to the bathroom.
Fang Qing took the cup out and poured the water. I looked around helplessly, but I didn't see anyone.
After a while, there was the sound of water flushing on the other end of the bathroom. Officer Zhu walked out, exhaled, and smiled embarrassedly:
"I'm really bothering you."
"Nothing ......"
"But I didn't expect that an apartment of this type would have a bathtub." Officer Zhu is obviously the type who can't chat, and casually said a topic that is not nutritious.
Fang Qing laughed dryly.
"It's nothing, we don't usually use it much, only Ying'er occasionally soaks it."
"Has Ling Ai used a bathtub lately?"
Officer Zhu suddenly asked.
Fang Qing was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.
"Uh...... I didn't mean anything else, so I just casually asked. "I wish the police officer a little embarrassed.
"Probably not." Fang Qing glanced at him suspiciously and said perfunctorily.
Zhu Officer Zhu said "oh", and suddenly thought of something:
"I'm not going to disturb you for breakfast, am I?"
"No, it won't. I was going to go downstairs with Ying'er later to have a casual meal. ”
"Don't you cook your own meal?"
How did this man come to work? Fang Qing was a little bored in her heart, and replied casually:
"We haven't cooked for a few days, so we don't have that mind......"
Fang Qing pointed in the direction of the study again:
"If you want to find Fu Sizhe's personal belongings, they should all be in the study."
She instinctively didn't want this person to stay here for too long.
Officer Zhu laughed, took a sip of water, and walked straight to the study.
He looked around, couldn't hold back his words, and began to chat with Fang Qing again and again.
"Yesterday my colleague came over and asked you about the keyboard?"
"Keyboard?"
"It's the keyboard in front of Fu Sizhe's computer, and there is a lot of soot in it."
"Ahh Fang Qing reacted and muttered, "That's when I was cleaning the room, I accidentally knocked over the ashtray......
"That's so," said the officer, ...... Zhu with a sudden expression, added:
"Miss Fang cleaned it very cleanly."
"It's okay, I've always been a housewife before...... So it's quite skillful to do. ”
Officer Zhu walked to the bookshelf, casually pulled out a few books and flipped through them, tucked them under his armpits, and walked to the wardrobe in the corner, and opened the cabinet door. Fang Qing watched from behind, her heart beating faster.
Officer Zhu casually asked:
"In Mr. Fu's study, there should have been a carpet...... Or maybe it's tatami mats, right? ”
Fang Qing was stunned and hurriedly said:
"Ah...... Yes. When I had to mop the floor during the cleaning on Sunday, I withdrew because it was too dirty, so I just threw it away...... I was going to buy a new one. ”
"I see." He nodded abruptly.
"Then there should be nothing to ask. With these books, I can go back and do it. ”
He turned his head and grinned at Fang Qing:
"I'm sorry to come early in the morning to disturb your mother and daughter."
He walked to the door of the study, yawned and stretched his waist, put one hand on the door frame and pulled his muscles, lowered his voice and grinned, and said:
"Actually, no one in our bureau has ever doubted you and your daughter, but our boss is more verbose, and he is like this when he is old."
"Is it......" Fang Qing laughed with her, and said in her heart that this policeman is really different, other policemen always come in respectfully, and they don't talk nonsense, he looks like a self-familiar stunned young man, but he doesn't look young anymore.
"Then, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, and I wish you a happy life."
Saying goodbye to Fang Qing, the door of room 702 closed. Zhu Ansheng breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand in his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and held it in his mouth, and walked to the opposite side and knocked on the door of 704 directly.
After a long time, there was an impatient voice on the other side of the door.
"Coming, coming, who's coming, early morning ......"
The door opened, and a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks poked his head out to look at Zhu Ansheng, and his tone was not good:
"Who are you?"
"Police." Zhu Ansheng took out his police card with a cold face, and shook it in front of the man.
It's a simple gesture, like a spell. The man who was still a little arrogant before immediately squeezed out a smile.
"This sheriff, you see that I don't know Taishan with eyes, what are you doing?"
"Chen Dong, right?"
"It's me, it's me."
Before Zhu Ansheng could continue to speak, Chen Dong had already reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to hand it to Zhu Ansheng.
"Sheriff, listen to me, you're here to get money too, right? I'm really saving this money, you see, I haven't paid my salary this month, tell the landlord I'll pay it back immediately, next month, next month, ......"
"Go, go, go. I didn't tell you this. Zhu Ansheng frowned, his face was full of impatience, but he didn't forget to put the cigarette handed by Chen Dong into his pocket and said:
"I'm going to ask you about your neighbor."
"Whew!" Chen Dong clapped his hands:
"You can surprise me. I thought it was...... Didn't your colleague ask before? I also said, Lao Fu's family, that's it...... His woman is so beautiful, it is estimated that he is not less secretly messing with people outside, this Fu Sizhe's face is green, I'm afraid he hasn't quarreled with his mother-in-law a lot......"
"Okay, okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I didn't let you say this." Zhu Ansheng said:
"Let me ask you, did you hear anything last Saturday, all day?"
"This ......" Chen Dong's eyes flickered, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look: "I didn't notice any movement, isn't it still that, I heard a shout at Fang Qing at the door, it was weird and scary, and later I learned that it was her house that caused cockroaches." This mother-in-law still depends on me! Say what...... Cockroaches love to run the door the most, and they gave me a few boxes of cockroach houses. Look at how scheming this woman is, indicating that she is giving me a cockroach house, isn't she actually secretly scolding me for not living a clean life? You have to take a good look, my family is poor and white, and I don't even have a drop of vegetable oil, where are the cockroaches......
As soon as Chen Dong's chatterbox was opened, he gushed endlessly. Zhu Ansheng hurriedly interrupted him:
"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me clearly, what time did you hear the shouting? ”
"How can I remember what time it is, it's noon."
Zhu Ansheng's eyes moved slightly, took off his cigarette, flicked the cigarette ash, said "It's okay with you", and hurriedly walked downstairs.
He walked straight out of the Fu'an community and came to the Huangsha Seafood Market.
At noon, there are not many people selling fish and buying fish, and there is no shortage of people, because the food stalls everywhere are doing business. The aroma of seafood wafts through the air. Steamed, stir-fried, and boiled are all available.
Zhu Ansheng walked around, walked into a fish shop, and pointed to the sign selling ice cubes on his head:
"How do you sell ice?"
The boss was eating a boxed lunch and glanced at him:
"How much do you want."
"What specifications do you have? Are there ice packs? ”
The boss frowned, waved his hand, and pointed to the other side of the street:
"I don't have ice packs here, I wholesale them piece by piece. If you want to buy it, go to Huang Ji at the end of the street, his house sells ice packs. ”
Zhu Ansheng said "Oh", and walked towards the other side of the street. When I came to Huang Ji Fish Shop, he was the only one on the whole street who had sealed ice packs for sale.
As soon as he walked in the door and saw the boss, he pulled out his police ID.
"Boss, ask you something. Have you sold ice packs lately? ”
Huang Ji's boss laughed:
"Uncle policeman, I have people here every day to buy ice packs, and many restaurants sell seafood and have to buy it."
"And what about last Saturday?"
"Where do I remember so clearly, the Saturday and Sunday ice packs sell very quickly!"
Zhu Ansheng groaned for a while and said:
"The person who came to buy the ice pack should be a very young girl with long hair and wearing a mask."
The boss thought about it and shook his head for a while:
"No, no, there has never been a little girl here who has ever come to buy ice packs, how can any woman come to buy ice packs, I don't sell one or two bags, and I can't hold it if there are more."
Zhu Ansheng was stunned and asked again:
"You don't help with deliveries here?"
"Small business, and no car, how to send it?"
"And how do other people get ice packs?"
"I'll drive myself." Boss Huang disagreed:
"If I live close, I have a cart to borrow, but I don't help move it, and I look at the shop alone on weekdays, so how can I have so much leisure."
I wish Ansheng's eyes lit up:
"Do you remember, on Saturday, did anyone come to borrow your cart and buy ice packs?"
"This ......"
