Chapter 131

~17 min read 3,295 words

There were more buses to the county seat than to Shao City, with 3 buses every morning, at 7, 9, and 11 o'clock.

Li Heng's group of three took the 11 o'clock bus, which was a bit crowded, and the seats were almost full. Because the road was not easy to walk and was full of potholes, it took three and a half hours to reach the county seat.

As soon as they got off the bus, Li Ran looked at the sky and asked: "The sun is so poisonous, where are we going?"

Li Heng said: "First find a hotel near the First High School to stay, we'll spend the night here tonight."

The First High School was a bit far from the county bus station, and the three of them squeezed on the bus for another half hour before arriving.

Zhang Zhiyong vomited again, hugging the utility pole by the road and vomiting his liver and lungs out, cursing one after another: "Damn it! I wasn't hungry at first, but I got hungry when I smelled the scent. I'm not going anywhere, I have to eat a bowl of wontons first."

Li Ran happily took a close-up of him and provoked: "If I were you, I would have said to that pair of women just now: You have such bad body odor, does your husband sleep with you?"

Li Heng couldn't listen anymore, "Let's go, let's settle down at the hotel opposite first, and go to the restaurant next door after washing up."

This area was pretty good, with food and accommodation in one go, no need to find it hard. After a simple cold shower, the group walked into the small restaurant next door.

After ordering, while waiting for the food, Li Heng pointed to the First High School diagonally opposite and said: "The target is in that building. I heard there are several lovers. Let's follow them first."

In the next few minutes, he focused on introducing today's main target, Feng Derang. This old bastard was a small boss at the First High School, relying on a bit of power to harm many people.

Back then, because of some sensitive remarks, Comrade Li Jianguo was demoted to the First High School. Later, due to a position competition, Feng Derang played tricks to frame Li Jianguo out, and he sat in it smoothly.

Zhang Zhiyong was most interested in this matter. As soon as he finished eating, he went to squat at the target's house downstairs in the garden. It wasn't very smooth at first, there were many people going up and down the cylinder building, but he didn't see the other party's shadow, but was bitten half to death by mosquitoes.

In order not to let others suspect his strange face, Li Heng set up a chess game in the small garden, using his superb chess skills to successfully keep four old men. These four people didn't even want to eat dinner, taking turns playing against him, just wanting to win back a game.

Around 7 o'clock in the evening, just as Li Heng was playing vigorously, Li Ran came over and tugged at his sleeve secretly, pointing her mouth to the small road on the right, signaling that the target had appeared.

Li Heng nodded without a trace, letting the two follow first, and he would come later.

Going out at this time, and in such a hurry, Feng Derang looked like he was holding back bad things, and the few were very happy.

"Check!"

"Check!"

"Check again!"

After three checks in one breath, Li Heng stopped grinding and decisively killed the other party.

Seeing him get up to leave, the four old men pulled him and didn't allow him to leave, saying they had to play another game, another game.

Li Heng smiled and said: "Okay, you help me set up the chess, I'll go to the bathroom."

Going to the bathroom was naturally an excuse. With a glance, he slipped away, disappearing without a trace.

Chasing Zhang Zhiyong and Li Ran to an old cylinder building, Li Heng asked: "Where did the target go?"

Zhang Zhiyong pointed excitedly to the leftmost room on the 2nd floor: "He went in! He went in! A young woman opened the door. I just spent money to inquire, this woman used to be a teacher at the First High School. She resigned half a year ago and started dating, but I didn't expect her to still have dealings with this old bastard."

Li Ran handed over a note, "The phone number on this is the young woman's boyfriend's house."

Li Heng took it and asked: "Spent a lot of money, right?"

Li Ran curled her lips and said disdainfully: "They are all things that see money and open their eyes. At first, they were tough, saying we were strangers and wanted to call the police. 10 yuan was handed over, and they didn't mention calling the police anymore. Another 10 yuan was handed over, and we knew what color the woman's panties were."

Li Heng laughed, and had to say that Li Ran was the one who did this, simply familiar with the road, wow, don't be too much.

Zhang Zhiyong was eager to move and asked: "Grandpa Heng, what should we do now?"

Li Heng looked at the 2nd floor and said: "You go listen to the wall corner and see what they are doing inside?"

"Order received! Leave it to this old man, I'm good at catching adultery." Zhang Zhiyong was like a shot of chicken blood when he encountered this, and he was indeed good at it. His old cheap goods at home had already trained him.

Up and down the stairs, the "dim-witted one" ran over timidly before long.

Seeing the cheap expression on his face, he knew there was a play. Li Heng asked impatiently: "How is it?"

"Wow! They are playing 'ghost hitting the wall' inside. I peeked through the door crack, that woman is like this like this..." Zhang Zhiyong danced and described the movements inside, with a face full of spring tide and excitement.

Listening to Zhang Zhiyong's vivid description, Li Ran glanced at the open window on the 2nd floor and suddenly had an idea. She climbed nimbly onto the osmanthus tree at the window, then hooked her hand, signaling Li Heng to hand her the camera.

Air conditioning was an extremely rare material in this day and age. This kind of small county town didn't have the ability to install it, but the temperature was as high as 38 or 39 degrees. It was stuffy and hot, whether day or night, the windows at home were basically open.

The young woman's house was no exception. Although she closed the window in the corridor, the window on the side was open. The two people in the house didn't expect anyone to climb the osmanthus tree to steal photos, so they were very relieved, which just gave Li Ran a chance to drill a hole.

Li Ran watched for a while and couldn't stand it, letting Li Heng climb the tree to watch.

Li Heng climbed up, and just took a look, he cursed: Damn it! What kind of world is this? This Feng Derang is almost 50, right? His body is so fierce? Could it be that he ate big supplements?

And the young woman had black hair like water, a charming figure, and was quite beautiful, no wonder this old lecher was so energetic.

Li Ran filmed while urging: "If you want to make a call, hurry up."

Li Heng got off the tree and whispered to Zhang Zhiyong, telling him how to do it.

Zhang Zhiyong patted his chest and ran away excitedly, running outside to find a public phone. The county seat was different from the small town, and public phones were relatively easy to find.

Generally, large newspaper kiosks and grocery stores had seat phones installed.

Dialed according to the seat phone number on the paper, and it was connected after a while:

"Hello, is this Feng Tian?"

"I am, who are you?" Feng Tian on the other end of the phone asked.

"Is Wu Yi, who lives in 201 of the cylinder building by the river on West Street, your girlfriend?"

"Yes, she's my girlfriend, what's the matter? What do you want?"

Zhang Zhiyong shouted in an exaggerated tone: "Your girlfriend Wu Yi is being bullied by a man! Hurry up and see! She's screaming like crazy in that room!"

They were all hot-blooded youths. Hearing that his sweetheart was being bullied, Feng Tian was instantly furious. He didn't even have time to ask for details, threw the receiver on the table, and was about to go out.

Hearing the movement in the living room, Feng's mother came out of the kitchen, "Where are you going? That dead old man just went out, where are you going again?"

"Mom! Wu Yi is being bullied! Wu Yi is being bullied!" As he spoke, Feng Tian, with red eyes, had already opened the door and rushed to the corridor.

Wu Yi was someone she had seen and liked very much. Hearing she was being bullied, Feng's mother didn't even wash the bowl, grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen and followed.

Just when Li Heng was on guard everywhere, Li Ran's pupils condensed, and she quickly beckoned Li Heng to come up, "That woman seems to have discovered me."

"Hmm?"

Li Heng climbed up again, followed Li Ran's gaze toward the room, and sure enough, he met Wu Yi on the sofa.

Four eyes met, no, six eyes met!

Seeing Li Heng and Li Ran on the tree, seeing the camera on Li Ran's shoulder, Wu Yi's expression was first terrified, then unexpectedly slowly calmed down. She didn't even make a sound to expose the two outside, but instead hugged Feng Derang with both hands and worked harder.

Li Ran, who was rich in social experience, frowned: "There's something fishy!"

Li Heng asked: "You mean this woman?"

Li Ran said: "I keenly sensed a madness in her facial expression. I can't describe it to you in language, but intuition tells me it might be right."

Li Heng watched for a while and said: "That woman seems to be cooperating with your filming."

Li Ran turned her head and glanced at him, "You found it too?"

Li Heng gave an "mm."

Li Ran asked: "Then do you still want to make the call?"

Li Heng said: "The 'dim-witted one' should have finished calling."

Speak of the devil, and he appears.

Zhang Zhiyong came back sneakily from outside. Seeing the two, he pointed to the way he came and said excitedly: "They're here! They're here!"

Li Heng and Li Ran turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw the furious Feng Tian, followed by a big mother holding a kitchen knife.

Arriving downstairs at the cylinder building, Feng Tian stretched his neck to look at 201 on the 2nd floor, and instantly accelerated his speed and rushed up.

The big mother followed closely.

Watching this scene, Zhang Zhiyong was happy and wanted to follow to the 2nd floor to watch the excitement. Li Heng pulled him: "Alright, just watch from below."

At this time, it wasn't completely dark. As soon as Feng Li arrived at the door of 201, he heard the sound of spring tide inside. He was even more angry and anxious. He didn't even bother to take out the key in his pocket, kicked the door open with a strong kick, and rushed in like a rocket.

But just as he entered, Feng Li was dumbfounded, his eyes bloodshot and he roared loudly:

"Wu Yi, who bullied you, today I'll chop... Dad! What are you doing?"

A "Dad" pierced the sky and shocked everyone in the cylinder building, who opened their doors and walked out one after another.

The big mother who followed cried and scolded: "Feng Derang, you bastard! This is your son's girlfriend!"

Seeing her boyfriend stunned in place, Wu Yi suddenly cried and complained with extreme grievance: "Feng Tian, woo woo, hurry up and pull your dad away, woo woo... he forced me..."

Afraid that the scandal would be revealed, Feng Derang covered Wu Yi's mouth, and even forgot to put on his pants for a while...

But the more he did this, the more Feng Tian, who was in a fit of rage, wanted to know the truth. He walked over, kicked Feng Derang away, grabbed the kitchen knife from his mother's hand, forced him into the corner, and roared crazily:

"Say! Say! What exactly is going on?"

Feng Derang didn't dare to say, but Wu Yi on the side complained about her grievances to everyone:

Wu Yi cried and said that she was assigned to teach at the First High School. Because she was born beautiful, Feng Derang used his position to call her to the office and forced her to have things that shouldn't have happened.

At first, for the sake of her reputation and to keep her job, Wu Yi chose to swallow her anger, but she never expected that after the incident, Feng Derang not only threatened her not to call the police, but also sexually harassed her many times and prevented her from transferring from the school.

Even to achieve ulterior motives, he spread rumors to attack her character, making her friends and relatives afraid to help her.

Just like that, Wu Yi had been occupied by Feng Derang...

Hearing this, Feng Derang cursed: "Stinking whore..."

But before he could finish a complete sentence, he was interrupted by Feng Tian, who had completely lost his mind, interrupted by the kitchen knife...

"Ah! Murder! Murder!"

"Call the police!"

"Call the police quickly!"

"Call an ambulance!"

"..."

For a time, the 2nd floor was in a mess. Before long, the police car came, and the ambulance came.

The police took away Wu Yi, Feng Tian, and Feng's mother, and also asked some bystanders to go to the station to record statements.

And the ambulance carried the bloody Feng Derang away and returned to the hospital.

Passing by Li Heng, Li Ran, and Zhang Zhiyong, Wu Yi's eyes stayed on Li Heng and Li Ran for two seconds, then she walked away with her head drooping.

Feng Tian seemed to be stimulated to mental disorder, still shouting and yelling.

Feng's mother was crying, crying brokenly...

"Things seem to have exceeded our imagination."

Looking at the departing police car and ambulance, Li Ran opened her mouth.

Li Heng nodded, "I feel there's a story inside, it's not that simple."

Zhang Zhiyong clapped his hands and cheered: "Pah! Who cares if there's a story or not!

A social scum like Feng Derang deserves it. He got three knives on his neck, I don't think he can be saved, he died well!"

Li Heng and Li Ran looked at each other and hurriedly pulled the "dim-witted one" to slip away.

That night, a piece of news spread throughout the small county town at an astonishing speed, and naturally reached the hotel where they were staying, saying that Feng Derang was dead, and he had breathed his last before reaching the hospital.

After 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Ran knocked on Li Heng's door and asked: "The matter is solved, what day are we setting off for the Three Gorges?"

Li Heng said: "Leave tomorrow."

Li Ran turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned back, leaned against the door and probed: "I watched too many spring palace plays tonight, my body is itching, you..."

Li Heng's face twitched, and he refused directly: "Solve it yourself!"

Li Ran was just trying it out. Seeing that he was unmoved, she didn't force it, and left the room laughing and joking.

Actually, she understood that with a big beauty like Xiao Han, Li Heng wouldn't take a fancy to her. Her rash remark just now was truly induced by the live erotic scene between Wu Yi and Feng Derang.

A night passed.

The next day, the three of them got on the bus to Shao City.

Somewhat coincidentally, they actually ran into Wu Yi.

At this time, she was hiding in the last row, wearing a sun hat, the brim pulled very low, covering most of her face.

Seeing Li Heng's group of three, Wu Yi was stunned and a bit nervous. After a long while, she suddenly stood up and sat next to Li Ran.

Li Ran asked: "Are you okay?"

Wu Yi shook her head and whispered: "With witnesses, I only recorded a statement, and the police let me go."

Li Ran glanced around and asked in a low voice: "Did you know Feng Derang first? Or did you know Feng Tian first?"

Wu Yi's body shrank suddenly and froze there. Finally, she asked Li Heng and Li Ran, "Are you Feng Derang's enemies?"

Her logic was very simple: if they weren't enemies, they wouldn't have done the stealing photos thing.

She had also made this judgment, so she cooperated hard when Li Ran was stealing photos.

Li Ran and Li Heng looked at each other, and Li Ran nodded: "Yes, I'm a reporter, I wanted to expose him."

Wu Yi shook her head, "Which reporter? From Shao City? That's useless."

Li Ran took out her reporter ID and handed it to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi took it and looked at it carefully before completely relaxing. Then she took a box of cigarettes and a box of matches from her pocket, struck a match to light the cigarette, and inhaled half a cigarette while recalling:

"Feng Derang bullied me for three years. 3 months ago, I met Feng Tian, who had just graduated from university. After discovering that the devil wouldn't let me go, I dressed up carefully and tried my best to lean toward Feng Tian. In less than half a month, Feng Tian was attracted by me, and we started dating."

"Feng Derang saw me dating his son, his temper was more irritable than before, and his possessiveness was stronger. He almost found excuses to transfer Feng Tian away 4 times a week, and then he would come to find trouble with me."

Hearing this, the term "setting up a trap" appeared in the minds of Li Heng and Li Ran at the same time.

Li Ran asked the last question: "If we hadn't come, what would you have done?"

Wu Yi was silent for a long time and said blankly: "I collected a lot of his dirty evidence that couldn't be seen, but it was useless. My reputation had long been ruined, and no one was willing to believe me."

As she spoke, Wu Yi said gratefully: "Thank you, you came just in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Li Ran asked: "Why didn't you tell Feng earlier?"

Wu Yi shook her head again: "Feng Tian is very rational most of the time. If I said it at ordinary times, he would preserve his father's reputation and leave me."

"Only by breaking into the scene, and being seen by many people, would he be overwhelmed by anger and lose his mind..."

Li Heng and Li Ran looked at each other, a chill came out of their brains, and they didn't ask any more questions.

It was Zhang Zhiyong who said: "Then where are you going?"

Wu Yi's eyes were scattered, looking out the window: "There is no place for me here anymore. I heard that the south has reformed and opened up, changing day by day. I'm going there to see."
