Chapter 10: Landlord

After two days of twists and turns, Fang Yaqing's confession was finally taken completely. Han Feilu got off work at around 7pm on the third day after Fang Yaqing was brought to justice. As soon as he drove out of the detachment, the call from the agent Xiao Liu came. "Brother Han, I

It's Xiao Liu, have you gotten off work? Do you like that house on Jinli Road?"

Han Feilu remembered that Xiao Liu sent him a few photos at noon. He was busy at the time and glanced at them briefly. He only remembered that they looked like new decorations. He freed his hand to lift the lid of xylitol and poured a few into his mouth.

I took a mint-flavored xylitol to cheer me up, "The house on Jinli Road? How much is the rent? Is it over budget?"

Xiao Liu: "It's within the budget. The landlord of that house didn't want to make money by renting the house at all. He just wanted to find someone he could trust to look after the house for him. I told him that you were a policeman, and he was very satisfied with you and said

The police will not trouble his house. So he specifically asked me to take you to see the house."

Is there such a good thing?

Han Feilu looked at his watch and said, "Then let's meet in the community. I'll be there in ten minutes."

He was really in a hurry to rent a house. He had already rented the house at Gu Hai's house for more than a week after the lease expired. What was terrible was that Gu Hai was allergic to cat hair. Although it was not serious, he always felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to bring

He quickly moved out after catching the cat. Xiao Liu hurriedly rushed to the gate of the community on a battery car. As soon as he and Han Feilu entered the community, they quickly praised the location and environment of the community.

Han Feilu looked around. It was indeed a good place. The new community was completed last year. The internal environment and surrounding facilities were very complete. It was two streets away from the downtown area. It was much quieter than other places. It was only a five- or six-minute drive from his unit.

.

Han Feilu asked: "What does the landlord do?"

Xiao Liu said: "He is a young man. He seems to have studied abroad and has just returned to China recently, so he wants to rent out the house while he is in China."

Han Feilu said bluntly: "You also know my budget. If you think that I can't afford to rent this house, we don't have to go up and look at it. If I treat you to a meal, I'll treat it as thank you for helping me find a house these days."

, please contact me if you find the right one in the future.”

Xiao Liu seemed to be afraid that he would run away, so he quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother, come up and have a look when you're here. The landlord is really nice to talk to. If you're not satisfied, you'll see the house first."

Han Feilu: "Just look and look. Don't pull me. I almost reflexively twisted your arms behind your back and cuffed you just now. Do yourself a favor and let go quickly."

The two entered a high-rise building and took the elevator to the 21st floor. Xiao Liu took him to room 2101, entered the password and opened the door. He took out the footwear and put them on before entering the room. Xiao Liu stood in the living room and said with a smile.

: "What's up, Brother Han, my brother didn't lie to you, did he?"

The house that Xiao Liu found this time was indeed reliable. He fell in love with it as soon as he walked in; the house was newly renovated, fully furnished, with a decent layout and transparency from north to south. It had warm floors and white walls. Except for the sofa, which was dark blue, the other cabinets

The body, doors and windows were all made of snowy white, so translucent that people could be seen reflected in it. Even if he didn't know how to decorate, he could tell that a lot of money had been spent on decorating the house like this.

Xiao Liu showed him the bedroom. He was even more satisfied after seeing the bedroom. When he returned to the living room, he had already thought about placing the cat nest and cat climbing frame by the floor-to-ceiling window. He sat down on the sofa and asked, "Does the landlord know that I

Do you want a cat?”

Xiao Liu: "I told him, and he doesn't mind. Brother, are you satisfied with this house? The water and electricity are all connected, and the Internet fee has been paid for three years. Now you can turn on the TV and watch it."

Han Feilu: "Tell me how much the rent is first."

Xiao Liu reported a number. Han Feilu felt suspicious and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, you know what I do, so don't be too tempted to set a trap for me."

Xiao Liu said: "Brother, where are you thinking? As I said just now, the landlord doesn't want to make money, he just wants to find someone to look after the house. He wants to rent the house to you because you are a policeman. He can trust the people's police."

Han Feilu thought about it for a while, how credible this statement was, and then asked: "Can the landlord come over in person to sign the contract?"

Xiao Liu: "Okay, I've already drafted the contract. If you want to rent, I'll call the landlord and we can sign it now."

Han Feilu looked around and made up his mind: "Call the landlord and let's sign the contract."

Xiao Liu ran to the balcony to call the landlord, and quickly ran back: "Brother Han, the landlord has something to do now and will be here in an hour. He said that if you are in a hurry, you can move your luggage here first."

Han Feilu has rented a lot of houses and had many landlords. This is the first time he has met a landlord who knows how to deal with cold and heat and can hurt people. Before he even met the landlord, he had already beautified the landlord in his heart into a man with big wings.

Angel. He was not polite and asked Xiao Liu to stay. He immediately went back to the Hai family to move his luggage. Gu Hai lived in a two-bedroom apartment where his parents paid him a down payment and he paid the monthly payment. Han

When Feilu Fengfenghuohuo came in, he was wearing long sleeves and a mask, fully armed and opening a can for a cat. Two cats were meowing around him.

Gu Hai squatted on the ground and carefully divided the cans into two basins: "Captain Han, there is only one can left. I will give Baoyu more. Tiger is too fat and needs to lose weight."

Han Feilu asked him to stop feeding the cat and quickly help him pack his things. He found a good house, and before the landlord, who was so resentful, reneged on his words, he had to move his luggage there and sign the contract. He and Gu Hai each opened their own apartments.

In a car, he loaded up all his belongings and two cats, and returned to the house with his hands full of luggage as if fleeing. He found that the landlord had already arrived and was standing on the balcony making a phone call, with only his back exposed.

Xiao Liu: "There are so many things, come and give them to me. Brother Han, that is the landlord Mr. Zhou."

Han Feilu said nothing, only looked at the landlord on the balcony, feeling very complicated.

After the landlord finished talking on the phone, he turned around and walked into the living room, stood in front of Han Feilu and smiled: "Good evening, Officer Han."

Han Feilu: "...is it you?"

Zhou Song: "It's me."

Han Feilu: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Song: "I am the landlord and I am here to sign the contract."

Only then did Han Feilu realize that he had not gotten lucky and gained a huge advantage, but had fallen into Zhou Song's trap. "Did you know it was me early on?"

Zhou Song: "You can say that."

Han Feilu took off the big and small bags on his body, pinched his waist and looked at Zhou Song helplessly. He felt a little angry and wanted to laugh, "This is a big joke. I am serious about renting a house."

Zhou Song: "I also seriously want to rent the house to you."

Han Feilu: "Why?"

Zhou Song: "Xiao Liu has already told you the reason. I will go abroad to study soon, and I need a trustworthy person to help me take care of this house."

Han Feilu: "I'm not related to you, why can you trust me?"

Zhou Song: "It's neither a relative nor an old friend. You can trust me, why can't I trust you?"

Han Feilu still suspected that he had other motives. In his eyes, Zhou Song was just Jiang Taigong fishing with a fishing rod, catching a stupid fish that willingly took the bait. Unfortunately, this stupid fish looked a lot like him.

The two of them looked at each other without saying anything for a long time. Xiao Liu was worried that the business would not work out, so he cautiously approached and said, "Mr. Zhou, Brother Han. If you have an agreement, let's sign the contract."

Zhou Song raised his lips and smiled, as if he was provocative: "I have no problem, what do you think of Officer Han?"

Han Feilu was heartbroken, grabbed the contract from Xiao Liu's hand and walked to the restaurant: "Sign, whoever doesn't sign is the bastard."

He knew Zhou Song had ulterior motives, but he still took the bait.

After signing the contract, Xiao Liu Gongde made a successful exit. Gu Hai stayed to help clean up. After walking around, he found that every part of the house was as clean as new and there was no need to clean it, so he took out the sheets and quilts and went to the bedroom to make the bed.

, virtuous like an old mother.

Han Feilu set up a cat climbing frame for the two cats by the window. "You saw it too. I'm raising a family, so you still have time to regret it now."

The kitchen and dining room are both by the window. Zhou Song is sitting on a chair in the dining room, swinging a cat teasing stick back and forth. A plump and chubby orange cat chases the cat teasing stick back and forth, "I don't mind, I

I also like cats.”

Han Feilu no longer paid attention to him, and he and Gu Hai were busy arranging daily necessities. Zhou Song had no intention of helping, and sat leisurely in the restaurant playing with the cat. Occasionally he would go to the balcony to make a phone call, and then come back and continue playing with the cat.

More than two hours later, he and the cat got to know each other well. The orange cat sat at his feet and nibbled on his trousers, while the white cat lay quietly in the cat's nest.

It was late at night, and everything that Han Feilu brought finally went to the place where it should go. Gu Hai hid his merits and fame deeply, without leaving a word, he waved his hand and left. Han Feilu was sweating all over and sent Gu Hai away.

Hai went to the bathroom to take a bath. After the bath, he just tied a towel around his waist and came out.

Zhou Song changed positions with the orange cat in his arms and sat on the sofa in the living room, facing the bathroom. As soon as the bathroom door opened, he looked up and saw Han Feilu walking out half naked. Zhou Song's eyes lit up.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Wow."

Han Feilu has a very good figure. He is tall, has long legs, wide shoulders and a narrow waist. He has no shortage of chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and biceps. He is more attractive with his clothes off than with his clothes on. Especially now that his hair is wet and his chest is full of water.

Pearls, and the heat is radiating from the skin all over the body. If you just take a photo, you can be selected as one of the "Top Ten Sexiest Mr. Sex in the World".

"Can I take a photo?" Zhou Song asked, picking up the phone and pointing it at him.

Han Feilu did not hide, and stood openly for him to take pictures. He only tied the towel tighter: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhou Song took two photos and lowered his head to check the photos: "You haven't transferred the rent to me yet, so of course I can't leave. This one is not good, it's all blurry. Don't move, I'll take another photo."

Han Feilu: "I will charge for any more pictures."

Having said that, he still didn't stop Zhou Song. He took his mobile phone and sat across from Zhou Song and said, "Send me your card number."

Zhou Song sent him a card number, and he transferred half a year's rent. Zhou Song still didn't leave after receiving the rent. He was leaning on the sofa and using his mobile phone. The orange cat was lying on his lap, stretching out the melon seeds to reach his hair. They got along with each other.

Very harmonious.

Han Feilu looked at the time. It was now past nine o'clock and he hadn't had dinner yet, so he opened Meituan and prepared to order takeout, and asked Zhou Song: "Have you had dinner?"

Zhou Song: "No."

Han Feilu: "Then let me order for you. What do you want to eat?"

Zhou Song: "Whatever."

Han Feilu's heart went numb as if on conditioned reflex. He didn't expect to hear these two words from someone who was not his girlfriend. He couldn't help but look up at Zhou Song. Zhou Song didn't pay attention to what he just said. Zhenghe

The orange cat was playing with his mobile phone with his face close to his. Han Feilu could only weigh and order a few dishes, then put down his mobile phone and looked at Zhou Song.

Zhou Song was just holding the cat and playing with his mobile phone. A strand of hair fell off and was pounced on by the cat with melon seeds. Above his head was the chandelier in the living room, and a bright white light hit his face. His face was even brighter than that light.

Zhuoyan. Although his skin is very white, it is not the pale type. His eyebrows are black, his lips are bright red, his lips are red and his teeth are white. He is handsome and handsome. It shines under the lamp, like a piece of beautiful jade soaked in the world.

"What's the name of this cat?" Zhou Song asked.

Han Feilu was distracted, paused, and said: "Tiger."

Zhou Song: "What a strange name. Why is it called Tiger?"

Han Feilu: "It has a yellow background with brown stripes, and its fur is like a tiger."

Zhou Song laughed: "Where is that white cat that doesn't like to talk to people?"

Han Feilu: "It's called Baoyu. Its two eyes are blue, like sapphires."

Zhou Song: "The name you chose is quite reasonable."

He lifted the orange cat up and called it tiger with a smile. The orange cat also meowed. Han Feilu looked at him for a while and said, "Stop playing around. Let me ask you seriously, why did you rent the house to me so cheaply?"

Zhou Song put the cat down, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Have you ever heard of the story of the White Snake?"

Han Feilu: "Thanks to my profound knowledge, I happened to have heard of such an unpopular myth and legend."

Zhou Song: "Just think of me as imitating Bai Suzhen and descending to earth to repay my kindness."

The favor he wanted to repay was nothing more than the kidnapping case fifteen years ago.

Han Feilu said with a smile: "Bai Suzhen repays her kindness with her body, and you will rent me a house?"

Zhou Song raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said with a smile: "As long as you want it, my benefactor, I'll do whatever it takes."

Han Feilu felt that he was no match for him, so he went back to the bedroom in a hurry, and changed into a pair of short-sleeved trousers. The deliveryman happened to deliver the meal, so he invited Zhou Song to the restaurant for dinner. In order to take care of Zhou Song

Because of his picky taste, he didn't order anything heavy with oil or spicy food. He only ordered light shrimps and tofu, and the most flavorful one was a piece of sweet and sour fish. He poured a glass of water for Zhou Song and said, "You helped me the past two days."

Looking for Hong Yibai, I haven’t thanked you yet, but today I just have the opportunity, so I’ll toast you with tea instead of wine.”

Zhou Song watched him drink half a glass of water and said, "You're just going to treat me to these if you want to thank me? Don't think I'm easy to get rid of."

Han Feilu: "I'll invite you again tomorrow and you can choose the place."

Zhou Song picked up a shrimp and said, "I don't understand. People are not food lovers, and people's mouths are not places for socializing. Why do people nowadays often treat guests to dinner? Isn't this a regression of cultural phenomena?"

Han Feilu was already used to his harsh and harsh language style. Not only was he not disgusted with it, but he was quite happy to see him use his little energy, "Then what do you want to do?"

Zhou Song ate a few shrimps and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."

After a few bites of the meal, an orange cat named Tiger jumped on the dining table and meowed for food. Zhou Song rinsed the shrimps in a cup of water to remove the oil and salt and fed them to it. Han Feilu usually had a strict upbringing, right?

The cat would be allowed on the dining table, but he did not stop Zhou Song from feeding the cat at this time. He found a suitable moment and asked: "Are you still in school?"

Zhou Song: "Well, I'm studying art in England."

Han Feilu: "Are you twenty-five this year? How many years have you been studying?"

Zhou Song: "I haven't even passed my twenty-fifth birthday yet, and I have studied for less than two years."

Han Feilu: "When will you go back to school?"

It doesn't matter to him when he returns to school. The school probably doesn't welcome him back. Zhou Song paused for a while and then said: "Winter."

Han Feilu was keenly aware that Zhou Song's mood was not as good as before. It seemed that he was asking about his studies. So he stopped asking and ate quietly. Zhou Song cooked a lot of shrimps for the tiger and put them in his own

Feeding it from the plate. He held his chin with one hand and watched the tiger eat. As he watched, he suddenly asked: "Is Fang Yaqing the murderer?"

This topic was very explosive, and Han Feilu responded quickly, "He admitted that he was the one who took Hong Yibai away, and he was the one who caused Qiao Yu to drown. But he did not remember meeting at Shuanglong Bridge on April 3.

Guo Yujiao."

Zhou Song touched Tiger's bristling beard: "If he remembered Yu Jiao, he wouldn't have taken action against Hong Yibai. What did Yu Jiao say? Did she identify Fang Yaqing?"

Han Feilu's expression became a little solemn, and he took a few bites of food before saying: "Yu Jiao did not admit it. She denied that she saw Qiao Yu drowning, and she did not admit that Hong Yibai went to Shuanglong Bridge to find a bracelet for her because she was hinted by her."

Zhou Song smiled: "She is a smart person. Of course she will not admit in front of you police that she deliberately wanted to kill her son. It just so happens that her scheming can be covered up with the word coincidence, so she will not admit it."

Han Feilu: "Actually, even if Yu Jiao deliberately left the bracelet at Shuanglong Bridge and hinted that Hong Yibai would look for it, she could not guarantee that Hong Yibai would become Fang Yaqing's target."

Zhou Song: "At least the probability is very high. She guessed that Fang Yaqing would go to Shuanglong Bridge to find the next prey after his mistake, so she deceived her son into the tiger's mouth. If it doesn't work once, there will be a next time. She can always find a chance to get rid of it.

She lost her own son. As for her success overnight, she was lucky."

Han Feilu put down his chopsticks, picked up his cup and took a sip of water, and added: "Fang Yaqing not only admitted that he killed Qiao Yu and kidnapped Hong Yibai, but also confessed to the boy's murder case more than ten years ago."

Zhou Song turned his head and looked at Han Feilu, his eyes bright and deep: "Is it him?"

Han Feilu nodded: "All the details he explained are correct, and they are all internal information that only the serious crime team that handled the case knew at that time. As for the reason why he committed the crime... it is similar to your analysis. Since

After Fang Lei disappeared, he had mental problems. He always dreamed that Fang Lei had become a lonely ghost, and his bones were left in the wilderness without being collected. He wanted to give Fang Lei a home after his death, but it was too late, so

You can only make up for it from other children."

Zhou Song remembered the scene when he saw Fang Yaqing in the teaching building. He looked into Fang Yaqing's eyes and saw only peace and vicissitudes of life in Fang Yaqing's eyes. There was no paranoia or madness. A murderer who killed several boys did not

Crazy, he found it strange. Or was the calm in Fang Yaqing's eyes the calm after the madness?

After dinner, Han Feilu cleared the table and looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. However, Zhou Song had no intention of leaving yet, so he ran to tease Baoyu who was already asleep, and gently pinched Baoyu's ears.

Every time he raised his ears, he showed a smile as if he was succeeding. He was thinking about how to send guests off tactfully, when he saw Zhou Song looking at the night outside the window as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said, "Is it so late?"

Han Feilu: "...it's not too late, it's still early."

Zhou Song stood up, brushed off the cat hair stuck to his shirt, looked out the window at the thick night, then turned to look at Han Feilu, and said with a smile: "Send me home."

Han Feilu: "Ah?"

Zhou Song took it very naturally: "It's so dark and I didn't drive, so of course you have to take me home."

Han Feilu took out his mobile phone: "I'll call a taxi for you."

Zhou Song wrinkled his nose in disgust: "I don't take a taxi, it smells bad."

Han Feilu: “Didi Taxi.”

Zhou Song: "Is it different from a taxi?"

Han Feilu rarely got off work early and planned to have a good sleep. He was already very tired after moving and cleaning up the house tonight. He looked at Zhou Song tiredly and said: "Master, don't torment me.

Can I send the flying pig back to you?"

Zhou Song sighed and walked towards the door with a disappointed look on his face: "No, I'll walk back by myself."

As soon as he went out, Han Feilu chased him out. He ran straight to the elevator with the car keys in his hand and said in a hurry: "Hurry up and rush back and forth in half an hour. I can still sleep for ten hours."

The two entered the elevator. Zhou Song raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly: "Why did your conscience find out?"

Han Feilu folded his arms and leaned against the car wall, snorting indifferently: "You are the landlord, how dare I offend you."

He drove to a high-end residential area in this city, parked the car at the gate of the community, and said: "Get out of the car quickly."

The gate of the community is brightly lit, but behind it is still the endless night. Zhou Song grabbed the car door handle, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I live in District C, which is far away from the gate. Do you have the heart to let me walk back alone?"

Han Feilu was very patient. If anyone else dared to make such an unreasonable request, he would have kicked him down. But looking at Zhou Song's pretending to be pitiful, he couldn't refuse after all. He drove the car into the community.

, driving in the wide corridor, said with a straight face: "If it weren't for the fact that you rented my house cheaply, I promise I would kick you out of the car."

Zhou Song pretended not to hear and pointed to the entrance of the underground parking lot in front: "Drive to the garage, and I'll take the elevator directly upstairs."

Han Feilu drove the car into the underground garage, only a few meters away from the elevator. He got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and respectfully extended his hand toward the elevator: "You can drive back to the palace, Master."

Zhou Song got out of the car, waved his hands as a farewell, and then walked two or three steps toward the elevator. A figure suddenly ran out of the darkness. He was startled and immediately stepped back. The man stopped in front of him, angry.

Panting, he asked: "Are you Zhou Song?"

Han Feilu looked at her in surprise: "Liu Qian?"

This is an aging and skinny woman in her late fifties. She is Fang Yaqing’s ex-wife, named Liu Qian. She returned to Yucheng from another province yesterday to cooperate with the police in investigating Fang Yaqing’s case. She said she would take the flight back this morning. Han Feilu did not

I thought I would see her here.

Liu Qian ignored Han Feilu and walked straight to Zhou Song: "You are Zhou Song, right? I am Fang Lei's mother. Do you still remember me?"

Zhou Song frowned, stepped back and said, "You have the wrong person, I don't know you."

Liu Qian suddenly became excited and wanted to grab his arm: "It's you! I'm Fang Lei's mother, why don't you remember me!"

She was agitated. Han Feilu stood in front of Zhou Song, stopped Liu Qian and said, "Calm down first, and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Liu Qian stretched out her hand to grab Zhou Song, her dry and thin palms were as sharp as eagle claws, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, you must remember Fang Lei! He is your classmate and your good friend! Think about it carefully,

Think about where he went after school that day!"

When Han Feilu heard this, he frowned and looked back at Zhou Song, "Do you know Fang Lei?"

Zhou Song said expressionlessly: "She recognized the wrong person. I never know Fang Lei."

After saying that, he walked towards the elevator, ignored the cry of the woman behind him, and took the elevator upstairs.
