Chapter 18 I can't afford it, goodbye!
Three poles in the sun.
Yu Huan slept until she naturally woke up. She didn't tidy up much today and just casually put on a gray sweatshirt.
After washing up, I went downstairs and slurped up a bowl of noodles, then drove straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Upon arriving at the location, I parked the car and went straight to the dispatch desk without stopping, saying directly:
"Hello, I've spotted a criminal suspect. I want to report this to the police!"
The auxiliary police officer in charge of reception behind the window was used to it, but she looked at his face a few more times before saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll contact the criminal investigation team."
"Ok."
Not long after.
A man in his fifties, dressed in uniform, rushed to the reception desk.
He was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and dark skin, suggesting he worked outdoors for long periods.
"This is Officer Zhao," the female auxiliary police officer introduced him as she sat down.
"Oh."
Yu Huan nodded.
Officer Zhao glanced at Yu Huan's left foot, which was in a cast, then looked away and asked, "Young man, did you find any clues about a criminal suspect?"
Yu Huan was confident and didn't argue with him further.
He said slowly, "In 2003 and 2008, a series of high-profile robbery and murder cases occurred in Hunan and Hubei. The perpetrator was the same person, and the methods were cruel and vicious. He was a Class A wanted criminal suspect and a criminal convicted of intentional homicide."
"Wu Feixiang?"
Officer Zhao was surprised.
“Yes.” Yu Huan said fluently, “Wu Feixiang, male, Han nationality, born on April 28, 1976, registered residence: No. 6, Wujiaba Group, Beishan Village, Liuyang County.”
This young man...
They came prepared!
Officer Zhao immediately felt that his chance to make a contribution had come.
He immediately nodded and said, "Young man, come with me first."
He slowly led Yu Huan to the police reception room.
Before taking her step, Yu Huan turned back and said "thank you" to the female auxiliary police officer.
"You're welcome!" The auxiliary police officer waved with a slight smile.
I paced around for a while.
Officer Zhao pushed open the door to the reception room, waited for Yu Huan to come in before closing it, and said "Please sit down." He then turned around and made a cup of tea at the tea station against the wall.
He placed a disposable paper cup on the table in front of Yu Huan, turned on the body camera on his chest, and then sat down facing Yu Huan.
"Is there a reward for this arrest warrant?" Yu Huan smiled frankly and sincerely.
This unexpected question caught Officer Zhao completely off guard.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The minimum reward for an A-level wanted notice is 3 yuan. You can get a reward for reporting a wanted criminal and providing useful clues. In this case, the reward is 20 yuan as long as you help arrest the criminal."
Having received a definite answer, Yu Huan nodded: "That's good."
"Tell me, what clues do you have?"
"No. 13, Group 11, Tanjia Chong Village".
"Is this Wu Feixiang's hiding place?"
"Yes and no."
Please explain in detail.
“Tanjiachong is the village next to my home. We both belong to the same town. And this address is a small shop run by an old lady.”
Yu Huan already had a plan, so he calmly continued:
“Last year during the Spring Festival, I went to buy betel nuts for the guys who were playing cards very late. This was the only shop that was open, so I saw him. I work at a newspaper and happened to see the wanted poster. The appearance matched, and the features were very obvious: buck teeth and a dumpling-shaped right ear. The height was also correct, about 1.7 meters. It must be the same person.”
"you sure?"
“I’m sure.” Yu Huan nodded firmly: “Actually, I noticed someone acting suspiciously a long time ago. They often came down from the back mountain and entered the house at this address.”
"Back mountain?"
“Our area is all hilly. We used to live on the small hillsides, but then a main road was built below, so we all moved to the roadside. The hills are behind the houses; locals call them the back hills, but they're not really mountains at all. There are also many abandoned old houses in there. This Wu Feixiang must be hiding in one of them.” Officer Zhao tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Any other clues?”
"That old lady's surname is Hu. Her husband died early, and she had no children. She only had one older sister, who I heard married a man surnamed Wu. I guess this Wu Feixiang must be her nephew."
Yu Huan naturally knew everything about it.
He spoke with a blank expression.
But in his heart, he sighed.
Next year, Wu Feixiang will soon commit another crime in the convenience store, murdering a newlywed couple in town. After his actions are exposed, he will flee beforehand and disappear without a trace.
Grandma Hu was considered a kind and honest person by her neighbors. She felt uneasy about protecting her nephew who had committed murder, and she often talked nonsense.
He also indirectly caused the deaths of a newlywed couple in the town. Unable to face the criticism of his fellow villagers, he committed suicide by running his head against the crime scene.
Ten years passed quickly, and the old brick house, neglected by everyone, collapsed into ruins and overgrown with weeds without Yu Huan's knowledge.
Wu Feixiang's hiding place was just a small hill. With modern criminal investigation technology, the location was determined in advance. The long arm of the law will catch him; he definitely won't be able to escape this time.
Something happened here.
Yu Huan took a big gulp of the tea, which had already cooled down.
After leaving their ID information, they just waited for the case to close and for the money to be collected.
Afterwards, we drove around the Delta region.
At this time, the three museums and one hall were not yet completed, there was no subway, the surrounding high-rise buildings had not yet sprung up, and there were hardly any people during the day.
One can imagine that the riverbank is probably pitch black at night now, with no lights on.
It doesn't look like a wealthy area; it's more like a deserted area.
It should be noted that many wealthy people in Changsha do not prefer villas but rather large single-level apartments, which is determined by the climate and environment.
After all, the lower floors are too damp, cockroaches in the south make a sound when they walk, and mosquitoes are so poisonous they can give you breast enhancement, so pest control is a huge undertaking.
Moreover, the villa is located in the suburbs, making it neither comfortable nor convenient to live in.
It's understandable that large-sized apartments in the Delta and Riverside areas are highly sought after.
From barrenness to prosperity, every inch of land is precious, and the delta still needs several years to develop.
Yu Huan wandered around the area for a while before finally parking his car in the underground garage.
After a quick look around, I pondered the address left by Lin Yourong.
D1 area?
This is a prime riverfront property in the Delta, and the only luxury residence in Changsha that is not separated from the river by a road. All of these are large, single-level apartments with river views.
So extravagant.
As expected of a rich woman!
Yu Huan sighed inwardly.
The elevator slowly ascended and soon arrived at the nineteenth floor.
Upon opening the door, all that came into view was an empty space; only basic renovations had been done, and there was no furniture or appliances whatsoever.
Only now did Yu Huan truly understand the meaning behind Lin Yourong's initial statement, "The house was just handed over."
I went inside and took a look around, briefly observing the layout.
The house is over 200 square meters, with three bedrooms, big enough to fit a four-meter-long bed, the kind you can roll around in when you wake up in the morning.
Yu Huan stood on the balcony with a wide view, where the magnificent, shimmering river surface was laid out before her.
Let alone buying decent furniture and appliances, the property management fees alone would probably be over a thousand yuan a month.
I can't afford to live there.
"Farewell!"
After looking around, Yu Huan closed the door and left without a second thought.
Even if he just grabbed a wooden plank bed from the furniture market, he could live and sleep there, but there was really no need to ruin someone else's house like that.
Most importantly, I can't bring myself to admit that shamelessness.
It's not like we have nowhere to stay.
There's no place like home, where you can find a doghouse that costs 500 yuan a month.
