Chapter 171: Chapter 83 Doubts Abound (Request for Subscription and Collection)
At the crack of dawn the next day, Luo Fei met up with Yang Su.
After reporting to the police team, the two headed straight to the Yang Family Village.
Fortunately, with Wang Wenbin’s case as cover, they didn’t have to worry about Yang Dawei becoming suspicious.
Under the pretense of looking for clues, the two openly observed the area around Yang Dawei’s house, and after confirming that he was still at home sleeping soundly, they found themselves at a loss.
The man hadn’t fled, but the next step of surveillance was quite a headache.
After all, the countryside is different from the city, where you can park a car under an apartment building without anyone noticing for half a month.
But in the countryside, anything slightly unusual can quickly spread throughout the village, let alone parking a car here, so staking out Yang Dawei in the village was unrealistic.
Of course, with Luo Fei’s skills, he could ensure he wouldn’t be discovered, but he also needed rest and couldn’t keep watch twenty-four hours a day.
Finally, after some discussion, both agreed that they should enlist the help of someone from the village to keep an eye on things.
And the best candidate for this task, besides the village head Yang Tianfu, was no one else.
Thus, Luo Fei promptly approached Yang Tianfu, asking him to assist the police with the investigation by keeping an eye on Yang Dawei’s movements every day. Naturally, he didn’t foolishly reveal suspicions about Yang Dawei murdering his wife, but mentioned the possibility of Yang Dawei engaging in illegal gambling.
This claim also had some basis since Yang Dawei would often make quite a bit of money every time he went out, which did sound a bit incredible; but if he were involved in illegal gambling, it made perfect sense.
Therefore, Yang Tianfu didn’t have the slightest suspicion.
Although Yang Dawei was one of the Yang Family Village people, he behaved so poorly that none of the villagers wanted to associate with him, including village head Yang Tianfu. If he had the authority, he would have long since wanted to kick Yang Dawei, this scoundrel, out of the Yang Family Village. Thus, upon hearing Luo Fei’s words, Yang Tianfu agreed without hesitation to help.
Later, Luo Fei reminded him to keep the matter confidential and not let anyone know about it.
Yang Tianfu naturally agreed outright.
After giving some more instructions, Luo Fei finally left his house.
Back in the car, Yang Su immediately asked, "How was it? Did he agree?"
"He agreed. He’ll keep track of Yang Dawei’s situation in the village, so we don’t have to come up here again."
"Then, let’s head back and wait at the game room this afternoon."
"No rush; since we’re here, we might as well turn around the village once more."
"Turn around for what?"
"I want to see if we can find any useful clues. It’d be great if we could find Chen Chahua’s corpse."
Yang Su didn’t know Luo Fei had the Eye of Sin, capable of seeing the dark aura attached to wrongfully killed people. When he heard this, he somewhat thought Luo Fei was daydreaming.
After all, Yang Dawei wasn’t an idiot; if he really killed someone, he would’ve made sure to dispose of the body completely cleanly, rather than leave it discoverable by anyone on a whim.
If that were the case, with how people routinely go in and out of the Yang Family Village, they should have found it a long time ago.
However, given how few clues they had, wandering around a bit wasn’t a bad idea. What if they stumbled upon something unexpectedly?
With this thought in mind, Yang Su ultimately decided to accompany Luo Fei on a turn.
So, the two indeed began wandering around the village.
Due to the incident with the corpse by the canal these last couple of days, the police had been running to the village every few days, so seeing them walking around didn’t surprise anyone. On the contrary, many smiled and greeted them, with the gossiping about the case running rampant, but the two brushed those off with ease.
In the end, Yang Su’s gamble did not pay off.
The two wandered around the village and ultimately came up empty-handed.
On the way back, Luo Fei remained silent.
Yang Su thought he was dejected because they hadn’t found Chen Chahua’s corpse and smiled, comforting him, "Don’t worry too much; this Yang Family Village is full of wild lands and mountains. If someone killed and buried another, besides the murderer, who could possibly find the body?"
"No, leader. I think Chen Chahua’s body may not be in Yang Family Village."
Luo Fei shook his head, speaking pensively.
He believed his ability wouldn’t have issues, but today they nearly covered all of Yang Family Village without noticing anything suspicious.
That would mean Yang Family Village wasn’t the place of the burial.
"Why are you so sure her body isn’t in Yang Family Village, Luo Fei?"
Yang Su was utterly confused.
After merely wandering around the village, making such a determination seemed rather hasty, didn’t it?
But in his understanding, Luo Fei wasn’t someone to make reckless statements, making him all the more puzzled.
"This...I don’t know how to explain it; it’s probably just a gut feeling."
His intuition had always been pretty accurate; it had played a key role in solving several cases. So hearing him say so, Yang Su offered understanding.
At this, Luo Fei added, "Leader, why don’t we skip returning and head directly to Kanshui Village for a look?"
"Okay, I’ll believe your intuition this once!"
True to words, Yang Su turned the car towards Kanshui Village.
Luo Fei came over here just yesterday, so he was relatively familiar with the situation. The two found village head Ge Da’an at the village committee office and proposed understanding a bit about Chen Chahua’s situation.
Although Ge Da’an didn’t understand why they were asking about this, he told them everything he knew honestly.
