Chapter 82 - 82 Witness
82 Witness
“Isn’t this Cheng Fei’s landlord in Wen An district?” Yin Tao recognized this bald middle-aged uncle. Cheng Fei’s current address was provided by this uncle.
“Sister Xiaotao, you’ve seen him before? He’s also the landlord of the deceased, Sun Peng.” Ji Yu turned up the volume in the interrogation room so that Yin Tao could hear the conversation between Feng Jing and the middle-aged uncle clearly.
“Officer, I’m really afraid of those people. They must be doing something shameful in such a remote abandoned factory.” The middle-aged man looked a little tired. It was obvious that he was very tense.
Feng Jing’s tone was very calm and his voice was exceptionally clear. “Then why did you appear in such a remote abandoned car park in the middle of the night?”
“When I drove past the abandoned car park previously, I saw many old furniture thrown away by other people. I brought them back to repair and they can still be used.”
The uncle looked haggard, but he still answered Feng Jing’s question seriously. “I have more than ten houses for rent in Wen An district. It’s inevitable that the furniture will be damaged. I thought that I would pick up some if I could and save some money. There are fewer people at night. After all, it’s not good for others to see me doing so.”
The middle-aged man didn’t look like he was lying. Although he didn’t look friendly, his attitude was quite honest.
“You originally wanted to pick up the abandoned furniture, but you accidentally saw your tenant, Sun Peng, making a deal with someone else?” Feng Jing carefully observed the middle-aged man’s micro expression to assess if he was lying.
“That’s right. I was afraid that there would be bad people living in my rented house, so I secretly observed in the dark.” The uncle wiped the sweat off his face. Even now, he still felt a little afraid when he recalled the scene.
“Alright, then describe in detail what you saw that day.” Feng Jing instructed the police officer beside him to take notes.
“I’m not far from their location. The moon was quite bright that day. I saw it very clearly.” The middle-aged uncle seemed to have made up his mind. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “My tenant, Sun Peng, is making a deal with two tall men.”
“What do these two men look like?” Feng Jing looked at the middle-aged man and asked slowly.
“I can’t see their facial features clearly. I just feel that they’re quite tall. They’re both dressed in black. One of them seemed to have trouble with his right leg, and the other had dyed blond hair.” The middle-aged man had a deep impression of the two of them. After all, he was quite afraid at that time and was more focused.
“If you see them now, can you recognize them?” Feng Jing felt that the blondie that the middle-aged man was talking about was probably Zhou Nan.
“I should be able to. After that incident, I was still thinking about the old furniture and chose to go to the abandoned car park again during the day. I don’t know if it was because I was unlucky to see the two of them in the car park again, but I was really afraid. I drove straight home, and I haven’t been to the car park since.”
The middle-aged man could tell that those people were not to be trifled with. He didn’t know why Sun Peng, who usually looked honest and introverted, had dealings with them.
“Can you still remember the conversation they had in the car park that night?” Feng Jing felt that it would probably be very difficult for Zhou Nan to confess his crime. That guy looked like a scoundrel. He would not confess until they found critical evidence.
“They’re talking about goods, money, and so on. It’s mainly because the things they’re holding are too scary…” The middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his forehead again. The temperature in the interrogation room was not high, but his back was almost drenched in sweat.
“I didn’t dare to believe it before, thinking that I was mistaken. But after Sun Peng’s accident, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong.”
The middle-aged man licked his dry lips and said in a low voice, “I think Sun Peng and those two people bought corpses.”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ji Yu and Yin Tao were surprised.
“Sister Xiaotao, is what this person said true? Did Sun Peng really spend money to buy dismembered corpses?” Ji Yu felt that the dismembered corpses in Sun Peng’s rented house were indeed very strange, but it was really unfathomable if Sun Peng bought those body parts himself.
Yin Tao looked at the uncle in the interrogation room and suddenly understood why he was so against anything related to Cheng Fei the last time she saw him.
It should be because Cheng Fei had interacted with the blondie before. The middle-aged man treated Cheng Fei and Sun Peng as the same kind of people.
“It’s probably true. The tension in his face doesn’t look like he’s lying. He looks scared.”
