Crazy Detective

“You’re saying that your sister, Zhang Fengyi, knows the murderer of the red bathtub case, Peter Qianqian?” Miao Ying was shocked and couldn’t believe it.”

“No, you might have misunderstood!” Zhang Shixiong’s father quickly explained,”I’m just saying that she and the murderer work in the same company. But the company is so big, they might not know each other.”

“Yes,” mother Zhang explained.”The real estate company that Fengyi worked for was a famous company in Yunzhou at that time. There are thousands of employees!”

“Your sister …” Miao Ying swallowed and asked Mr. Zhang,”what did she say?”

“She … Didn’t say anything, right? Why … Why are you asking this?” Mr. Zhang was very surprised.”After that incident, the company closed down for a period of time. We only found out later that the murderer and Fengyi were working in the same company!”

“We asked Fengyi about it,” Mrs. Zhang recalled.”Fengyi said that she knew someone like that in the company, but that person was a designer, so it was rare to see him!”

“Yes, no one would have thought of that. At that time, as long as there was a young girl in the family, everyone was in a panic,” Mr. Zhang said.”They were all afraid that the red bathtub killer would kill her!”

“For my sister, my dad accompanied her to and from work. He really put in a lot of effort!”

“Then …” Miao Ying thought about it carefully, then asked,”Zhang Fengyi, was she in a relationship at that time?”

“You …” Mr. Zhang was surprised by Miao Ying’s question again, but he sighed and replied,”my Fengyi is very beautiful, and many boys are after her, but she’s a little arrogant, so she doesn’t like any of them …”

“I remember that my parents were very anxious and tried to introduce her to many men, but in the end, they didn’t succeed, so they delayed it!”

“After that, Fengyi fell sick. We couldn’t take care of her even if we wanted to … Sigh … Sister is cultured, cultured, and beautiful. She should have had a bright future, but unfortunately … Her fate is not good!”

“What’s her illness?” Miao Ying asked.”

“It’s a relatively rare blood disease, not much different from leukemia, but …” Mother Zhang replied.”This disease is slightly less serious than leukemia …”

“Oh …” Zhang Heng’s mother thought of something and said,”you’ve seen the movie I’m not the drug God, right? Fengyi seemed to have that kind of illness!”

“If it was in the present, at least there would be medicine to take. Back then, it was a terminal illness!”

“Was there no treatment at that time?” Miao Ying asked again.”

“Yes, I did. I have to go to a big hospital almost every month,” Mr. Zhang said.”The treatment is very painful. I have to give an injection to my spine. It’s not something that ordinary people can bear … Sigh …”

“You two,” Miao Ying thought for a moment, then asked,”may I ask, after Zhang Fengyi passed away, did she leave anything behind?”

“Oh? A relic?” The two of them were stunned at first, and then they said almost in unison,”you left a lot of things!”

Oh?

“Hearing this answer, Miao Ying and the others were surprised again.”

“The company that Fengyi works for is very powerful, and she has been in contact with some big shots,” Mr. Zhang said.”So, she left a lot of good things. Of course, she also left some money. It’s about tens of thousands of Yuan, right?”

“The money is still in the passbook!” Mr. Zhang said,”although he left us the money, we still can’t bear to spend it …”

“Where are all the things that Zhang Fengyi left behind?” Miao Ying finally got to the point.”

“It’s in our house,” Mr. Zhang replied.”Haven’t you checked it?” I … I can show you!”

“Oh …” Miao Ying asked again,”then, in the old house on Chenggong Road, was there anything left behind by Zhang Fengyi?”

“An old house …” Zhang Heng’s father paused for a moment and replied,”I guess there is one?” There are many books …”

“Yes, there were two big boxes,” Mrs. Zhang said.”Fengyi was a college student and loved to read. She left all the old books in the old house!”

“Hearing this, Miao Ying turned to look at cui Lizhu. They had searched the old house before, but they had not found any books.”

Could it be that … Zhang Shixiong was lying?

But … What’s the use of telling such a lie? What could be in those old books?

“Um … There’s one more question …” Miao Ying thought for a moment, then asked,”at that time, in the old house on Chenggong Road, was Zhang Fengyi really the only one living there?”

“Where are your parents? Or, does she have any good friends or something …”

“Oh, she lives alone,” Mr. Zhang quickly replied.”The old house is too small, and the lighting is bad. In addition, her parents ‘legs are not good, so they have been living with us!”

“In other words, Zhang Fengyi was very free at that time?” Miao Ying asked another seemingly strange question.”

“Why do you say this?” Mr. Zhang said,”Fengyi is a girl, after all. It’s not very convenient for her to live with us!” Moreover, the company she worked for was in the Zhaoyang District, so she lived in an old house closer …”

“I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone living with her before …” Mr. Zhang recalled.”But if a female colleague occasionally lives with her, we don’t know …”

“Just as Mr. Zhang was speaking, cui Lizhu came to Miao Ying and reported in a low voice,”Sister Miao, I just asked brother Tao. They did find a lot of exquisite crafts at Zhang Shixiong’s parents” house. They should have been left behind by Zhang Shixiong’s aunt!”

“Oh,” Miao Ying asked,”do you have a photo? I want to see how Zhang Fengyi looks like …”

“No problem,” cui Lizhu said.”I’ll ask brother Tao to send the photos to your mobile phone!”

“Then, cui Lizhu quickly left.”

“Police officer, do you have any more questions?” Mr. Zhang asked,”when can our Shixiong go out? I’m afraid that if he stays too long, he’ll be gossiped about when he gets back to the office!”

Whoosh …

Miao Ying’s phone suddenly rang. Ran Tao had sent her a picture.

“When he opened it, he saw a beautiful woman in the photo. It was Zhang Shixiong’s deceased aunt, Zhang Fengyi!”

“In order to confirm, Miao Ying showed the photo to the two elders for identification. The two elders quickly nodded after seeing it.”

“This was taken when she was in University,” Mr. Zhang said proudly.”Yunzhou University. That was her most beautiful time!”

“Oh …”

“Oh,” Miao Ying replied, then immediately tapped on the phone screen to look at the photos.”

“The photos that followed were also photos of Zhang Fengyi from different periods of time. Some were personal, some were with her family, classmates, and even colleagues …”

“Miao Ying stared at the photos, trying to see if there was a foreigner in them.”

“However, as he searched, he did not find any foreigners. Instead, he found the photos that Fengyi had taken in the old house on Chenggong Road!”

“In the photo, Zhang Fengyi was smiling very brightly. She was wearing a long dress with a very European and American style. She was also holding a violin in her hand. Under the sunlight, her long hair fluttered, and she was as beautiful as a fairy …”

“Miao Ying swiped her finger and zoomed in on the photo, but a thought flashed through her mind. Who took this photo of her?”

“It’s me, it’s me …” Unexpectedly, after Mr. Zhang saw it, he took the initiative to wave his hand and say,”I took this photo for her. At that time, she had just been hired by the company and was going to attend a ball. She was very happy …”

“Yes, I was there too,” mother Zhang agreed.”She borrowed the violin from our unit for her performance …”

“Oh …” Miao Ying sighed in relief.”

“However, after she finished panting, her gaze once again fell on the building behind Zhang Fengyi.”

The two-story building in the photo was basically the same as the one she saw yesterday …

Hmm …

“Suddenly, Miao Ying’s eyes lit up, and she asked another earth-shattering question,”

“Excuse me, is there a bathtub in This Old House?”
