Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 83 I love listening to stories the most
"Who?"

A man who looked to be about fifty years old came out from the two-story self-built house.

When he saw Yu Dazhang holding the little boy's arm tightly, his eyes immediately became fierce.

"Let go!"

Yu Dazhang remained unmoved. He still held the little boy's arm, pulled him a little closer, and said:
"Compensate for my clothes first."

When the two men heard this, they all set their eyes on Yu Dazhang's clothes.

After looking for a while, the middle-aged woman spoke.

"Your clothes are fine, there's nothing wrong with them."

"What are you looking at?" Yu Dazhang said loudly:

"It's all disconnected and I can't see it!"

The middle-aged woman took another closer look:

"No."

"Are you trying to cheat?" Yu Dazhang asked with his eyes wide open.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that the middle-aged woman was still trying to argue, the man took a step forward and pushed her away, then said to Da Zhang:
"Just tell me how much money."

Yu Dazhang opened his palm and stretched it forward:
"Fifty thousand, not a cent less."

"How much money?!" the two men exclaimed in unison, their originally indifferent expressions instantly replaced by anger.

"That's not a big deal." Yu Dazhang raised his head and looked at them with contempt:

"You can't even come up with this little money, you deserve to live in the mountains."

The man and the middle-aged woman said nothing more, staring at him angrily.

"How about this." Yu Dazhang said, seemingly willing to negotiate:
"It's okay if you don't pay. I'm hungry, so I'll pay off the debt with the meal."

There's definitely something wrong with this one.

He deliberately pretended to be a nonchalant person just to irritate them and make them lower their guard.

What is Zhang Sen’s current situation? Are the two missing police officers in the cellar in the yard?

These are still uncertain.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is... that bloody smell is definitely human blood.

Given Yu Dazhang's current sense of smell, it is impossible for him to make a wrong judgment.

There is a certain difference in taste between animal blood and human blood.

Sheep blood has a hot smell, pig blood is smelly, chicken blood has a fishy smell, and only human blood has a salty and fishy smell, accompanied by a metallic rust smell.

The first thing to do now is to stabilize them.

No matter how curious you are, you can't go to the cellar. At this time, exposing your back is no different from seeking death.

That's why he kept holding on to the little boy.

"You should have told me earlier if you wanted to eat." The man turned sideways and gestured for someone to come in.

"Come on, my family is ready to eat, and we don't need a pair of chopsticks from you."

Yu Dazhang smiled and pulled the little boy to follow the man.

After entering the house, he was stunned by the decoration inside.

It looks old from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be so magnificent inside.

It really feels like there is gold everywhere and it is shining brightly.

If we have to describe the style, Yu Dazhang can only give a four-character evaluation: rustic and luxurious.

Letting go of the little boy, he sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted nonsense with the man.

During this time, he seemed to be focusing all his attention on the other person, but in fact, he was observing the other two people in the room out of the corner of his eye.

In this village, he dared not relax for a moment, as anyone could pose a threat to him.

The woman was very skillful and brought the food to the table in no time.

There are four dishes and one soup in total, which is quite rich.

"Come on, eat it while it's hot." The man greeted and sat down at the table.

"They are just ordinary farm dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste."

Yu Dazhang didn't hesitate to sit down next to him, picked up the chopsticks and rubbed them twice with his hands.

"Eat." The man called again.

Yu Dazhang rubbed his chopsticks twice more.

"Try this mushroom fried with bacon." The man pointed to a dish on the table and recommended:

"These are wild oyster mushrooms that we picked ourselves. They are very fresh." Yu Dazhang opened his mouth wide and blew twice on the chopsticks.

"Hold on and pick up the food. Don't be polite." The man continued to urge.

Yu Dazhang separated the two chopsticks, took one in each hand, crossed them together, and rubbed them.

The man stopped trying to be humble. He felt that if he continued to give in, his chopsticks would be worn off by the fat man.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bite of food at random, and then started eating by himself.

Yu Dazhang still didn't move his chopsticks, but shouted to the middle-aged woman:

"Come and eat too."

The woman looked back at him, her face cold and silent.

"Don't worry about him. Just eat your food." The man measured with chopsticks:

"Here, when we have guests at home, our wives and children won't sit at the table."

Then he turned around and scolded the middle-aged woman:

"Stop hanging around in front of us and take the child out for a visit."

The woman nodded after hearing this, then took the little boy out the door.

Yu Dazhang still didn't move his chopsticks. After watching the mother and son leave, he put down his chopsticks and turned to stare at the man:

"Is that child your own?"

Upon hearing this, the man stopped picking up the food in mid-air, then slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, then raised his head and said indifferently:

"Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

"The child doesn't look like you." Yu Dazhang said in a joking tone:
"But he does look a lot like that old woman. Are you being cheated on?"

He was deliberately irritating the man.

From the moment he entered the room, he noticed that the man always stayed on the side closer to the bedroom.

Although he was in the living room, whether he was sitting on the sofa or at the dining table, he deliberately moved closer to the bedroom.

It seemed that only in this way could he feel safe.

Most importantly, Yu Dazhang noticed that the man was always on guard.

Although he looks calm and composed on the surface, his arm muscles are tense and his eyes are narrowed, indicating that he is ready to attack at any time.

Even while maintaining this state, the man still eats as usual.

If it were someone who was not on guard, they would really be fooled by his disguise.

This shows that this is not the first time he has done this. It has become second nature. He must have used this method to deal with many people.

"You don't look hungry."

The man put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his palm, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep puff and said:

"Since you are interested, I will tell you a story about myself."

"Okay." Yu Dazhang said with a smile:

“I love listening to stories the most.”

The man took another puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then said slowly:

"It was 1988. I was years old."

"Although I am not very old, I have been working on ships for five years and have been to at least 20 countries."

"In that era, he was considered a man who had seen the world."

"That year, my family arranged a marriage for me. The girl was very beautiful, and we soon became husband and wife."

"It wasn't long before I was on the ship again, and I was gone for seven months."

"When I came back, I found that people in the village were pointing fingers at me."

"I learned from my family that my wife, whom I had been married to for less than a year, had an affair."

"Do you know what I did?"

The man flicked the ash off his cigarette when he reached this point.

Then he brought the cigarette, which was about to burn out, to his lips and took another puff.

After putting the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stubbing it out, he turned to look at the fat man beside him, only to find a black muzzle of a gun pointing at him.

"Go on." Yu Dazhang pointed the gun at his chest and said sullenly:
"What did you do?"

"I..." The man opened his mouth:
"I forgive her."
