Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 693 Making New Contributions

Xiao Wei took the plate out and examined it carefully; it was stir-fried pork with chives. He put the plate back and casually ate a bite of the two bowls. The bowls tilted slightly, and Xiao Wei's expression changed drastically. Huang asked, "What's wrong?" He stood on the other side, looking down into the refrigerator. Back then, imported refrigerators were very short, only about 1.6 meters tall, making it difficult for him to see down.

Xiao Wei slowly brought out the two bowls, his hands trembling slightly, and handed them to Huang Suo. Inside the bowls was half a steamed milk cube. Xiao Wei's voice instantly became hoarse: "He...ate Shi Jing." He swallowed hard.

Huang took the two bowls, looked at them, put them on top of the refrigerator, went over and chopped the freezer with an axe, knocking the lock off with a few strokes of the axe.

Footsteps sounded, and a man in his forties, reeking of alcohol, walked in: "Why didn't you lock the door? Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Neither of them paid any attention to the intruding neighbor. They stood there looking at the freezer. Xiaowei raised his hand and said, "You can open it."

Huang didn't say anything, but took half a step back and glanced at Xiao Wei: You go.

Xiao Wei took a deep breath and placed his hand on the freezer.

The neighbor walked in: "Where's Lao Luo? Who are you? What are you doing here? Why are you smashing people's things when they're not home?" He looked at the padlock that had been smashed on the ground.

Xiao Wei took a step back and pointed to the freezer: "Here, perfect timing, open it."

The neighbor glanced at Xiaowei and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Huang said, "What do you mean, 'who'? Don't you recognize these clothes? Are you from abroad?"

The neighbor looked at Huang's clothes and said, "Oh, a policeman, a policeman. Why are you smashing someone's refrigerator?"

Xiao Wei said, "Come on, open this freezer."

The neighbor took a step back, shook his head, and said, "No, are you going to make me open it and then accuse me of stealing? No way, I have to call the police." He turned to leave, but Officer Huang reached out and pulled him back: "I am a policeman. Where are you going to report it? Go ahead and report it, but what?"

The man, who was only about 1.7 meters tall, looked up at Huang's face, glanced at the freezer, and said, "Then why do you insist on making me open it?"

Huang pinched his nose, glanced at Xiao Wei, and said, "Hurry up, you drive."

Xiao Wei took another half step back: "I'm a coward, I can't do it, you do it."

The neighbor looked at the two of them and said, "What's there to be afraid of with a freezer? It's just a place to store things, what's there to be afraid of?" He then flipped open the freezer door: "See, it's open now, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xiao Wei quickly turned his head to the side and said, "Take a look and see what's inside!"

The neighbor looked down into the freezer: "What? Meat. Oh my god, oh my god, what's this?" Perhaps because the freezer was backlit, he couldn't see clearly. He reached in and picked something up, then came out: "What's this?"

Xiao Wei narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly, while Huang Suodao let out a long sigh of relief, as if a stone had been lifted from his shoulders.

Although it was frozen and deformed, covered with white frost, how could anyone not recognize the human head?

The neighbor screamed and threw down the severed head, landing on his backside with a thud. He scrambled outside, perhaps from drinking or from shock. He struggled for a long time but couldn't move much; his whole body was limp. A strong smell of urine filled the house.

Xiao Wei gritted his teeth and peered into the freezer: two calves, one thigh, one and a half arms, and a torso with the fat cut off from the top and bottom. The hands and feet were gone.

With a heavy heart, Xiao Wei picked up the severed head, put it back in the freezer, and closed the lid. Sweat poured down his face.

"What do we do now?" Xiao Wei asked Director Huang.

Huang scratched his chin, put the axe on top of the freezer, and said, "Report it. Call Director Liu and see what he plans. I'll tell Lao Lu."

The two men dragged their neighbor out of the house, locked the door, and went downstairs to the convenience store.

Boss Luo remained squatting there with his head down, and his son was still glaring at Director Lu and Xiao Liu like a fighting cock.

Director Lu had moved a stool and was sitting by the door. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and asked, "How's it going? Any findings?"

Xiao Wei frowned, suppressing his nausea, and didn't reply. He went inside to make a phone call. Huang, the police chief, squatted down next to Lu and whispered, "We found them. A few days later, they would have been gone for good, with no way to prove anything."

Lu asked curiously, "Why?"

Huang pursed his lips and looked at Lu Shuo, saying, "If we wait a few more days, he'll have finished eating. Where will we find him then?"

Director Lu's face turned pale. He pointed at Boss Luo, who was looking down. Director Huang nodded, plopped down on the ground, and took a cigarette from Director Lu's pocket and lit it.

Inside the house, Xiao Wei picked up the phone, thought for a moment, and checked the time. It was 9:20; Liu Ting was probably asleep by now. After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and dialed.

After a few rings, the call was answered, and Liu Ting's voice came through: "Feed? Who is it?"

Xiao Wei said, "Uncle, it's me, Xiao Wei. Are you asleep?"

Liu Ting stretched and said, "No, I was just about to go to sleep. Is something wrong? Don't worry about today's matter. It's a solid case; everyone involved has been apprehended. You've done another great service. Don't worry."

Xiao Wei said, "It's not about today. Uncle, today's events were just a coincidence. I was originally handling a case about finding someone, and I went to Hong Kong City today to check for some clues."

Director Liu laughed and said, "Then your luck is unparalleled. You uncovered such a big case from a clue. This credit is falling on you. Why don't you come here and make a living from this?"

Xiao Wei said, "We've found a clue. The case here has been solved, just now."

Liu Ting clicked his tongue a few times: "Incredible! You're truly amazing! Where is he?"

Xiao Wei choked, and said with difficulty, "It was in the freezer, and I ate almost half of it. If it had been a few days later, I wouldn't have been able to find it."

Liu Ting hissed: "Where are you? At the scene? Give me your address."

Xiao Wei said, "On Wuma Road, there's a small shop called Shengli. You can see it as soon as you come over. It's always lit up. That's where I park my car."

Director Liu said, "Protect the scene." He then hung up the phone.

Xiao Wei put down the phone, plopped down in a chair, and felt his muscles twitching.

About ten minutes later, Director Liu arrived with his men. They were driving so fast they were practically flying. Only in this era could such a feat be accomplished.

Director Lu and Director Huang stood up and saluted. Xiao Wei, whose face hadn't recovered yet, pointed at Boss Luo: "It's him."

Mr. Luo's son shouted from the side, "What happened? What's wrong with my dad? Is running a convenience store illegal?"

Liu Ting asked, "Where are the things?" He glanced at the freezer next to him.

Xiao Wei said, "Upstairs, at his home."
