FBH Chapter 22

In a daze, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up from the bedside and saw it was his father calling. After hesitating, he answered.

In an instant, Zhou Yu’s heart felt as if it was tightly tied with a wire and pulled towards his throat, his blood almost solidified. He knew that Li Fei’s mother was looking for him to ask about Li Fei’s situation. He was most afraid of Li Fei’s family asking him about Li Fei. It must be because Li Fei’s mother couldn’t get through to her son’s phone that she came to him.

Why couldn’t Li Fei’s phone be reached? Because it was taken and turned off by the crew-cut man who took him to the hospital. The crew-cut man claimed that this was to prevent Li Fei’s relatives from calling and becoming suspicious if no one answered.

Zhou Yu bit his lip hard, drawing blood. He took a long breath and said tremblingly, “Auntie, Li Fei has gone out to sea to fish…” He knew that this was only a temporary measure. Li Fei’s mother would find out about Li Fei’s injury sooner or later, but he could only take it one step at a time.

“What? He went out to sea to… to fish?” The person on the other end interrupted Zhou Yu in surprise, “Oh dear, why didn’t he… work properly, why did he go fishing!”

“I’m worried about him getting seasick, and also his eating problem…”

The person on the other end rambled on for a while, and Zhou Yu, feeling annoyed, excused himself and hung up the phone.

Zhou Yu threw the phone on the ** and then lay down, staring blankly at the milky white wall above him.

He didn’t want to lose Su Yan, nor did he want to worry his parents, so he had to take the risk. He thought with a fluke mentality that he would be very careful in doing this, he would not be discovered, and the police would not find him.

“Ding,” the elevator door opened.

Looking into the door, he saw a tall figure standing in the moving car. As the elevator door slowly opened, the outline of his figure became clearer and clearer. When he fully appeared in front of the people waiting for the elevator, the impression he gave was: tall, wearing a white mask and a white long-brimmed hat, exuding an air of mystery.

A middle-aged woman with a lot of fat accumulation looked at the mysterious woman walking towards the passage, and couldn’t help but curl her lips and muttered, “It’s that weirdo again.” Then she entered the elevator.

He came here to order takeout from a restaurant outside.

Since he quietly moved into this apartment a month ago, he hardly ever leaves the door of his room except to go out to order takeout every day. He has isolated himself from the outside world.

The police didn’t take the mysterious man away, proving that he wasn’t a bad person, people in the apartment thought.

Because this person has many mysteries that are difficult to solve, over time, everyone habitually calls him “weirdo” behind his back.

Although Zhou Yu couldn’t see the weirdo’s face, he was sure that this woman was the person the crew-cut woman asked him to approach. Not only that, but he also knew which floor and which room the woman lived in in that apartment.

In fact, Zhou Yu lived on the floor above the weirdo, only one floor apart.

Several pairs of eyes were attracted by his voice and looked at him, but soon people’s eyes moved away from him.

The woman was stunned for a moment and asked puzzledly, “What is information?”

“I occasionally read some, but I often browse Douyin.” The woman grinned shyly, “I not only browse, but also shoot.”

Zhou Yu didn’t care whether she read information or not. He asked her questions to use this as a springboard to say his “inner thoughts”, express his “views”, and try to achieve some ulterior motive.

The weirdo suddenly raised his head, his eyes like javelins, throwing towards Zhou Yu.

The woman blinked and said without interest, “This matter is making such a big fuss on the Internet, who doesn’t know?”

The weirdo stared at Zhou Yu intently, with a hint of relief in his melancholy eyes.

The weirdo bit his lip and glared at the woman fiercely, but because his face was covered by the brim of his hat and the mask, people couldn’t see his expression.

The woman was a little angry and said, “Of course I have my own judgment! Even if I don’t look at those comments on the Internet, I also think Li Yuehua is the murderer!”

A man in his thirties sitting next to the woman smiled disdainfully and asked Zhou Yu, “You said Li Yuehua is not the murderer, then who do you think is the murderer?”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, “Brother, you think my question is amateur, you are not an immortal, how do you know who is the murderer?”

The weirdo bit his lip tightly and looked at the woman, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

“Who said Li Yuehua didn’t go in? I heard he has been arrested, he was arrested yesterday.” A red-faced man in his fifties finished speaking, took a deep breath of smoke, and the smoke spurted out of his garlic nostrils, and suddenly flew around, then fluttered away.

“Ah–! He really went in?”

“Is the news reliable?”

“That’s great! The three dead, especially Ning Yaohong and her son Li Zihan, can rest in peace.”

“……”

But the weirdo just shook his head, his eyes filled with hateful exhaustion.

The red-faced man blinked triumphantly, took another puff of smoke, and said to the person who had just asked him the question, “Of course the news is reliable, my nephew is a criminal police officer in the Municipal Private Security Bureau.”

The woman who had argued with Zhou Yu earlier, like a victorious rooster, said to Zhou Yu triumphantly, “Listen, listen! The criminal has been arrested, and you are still here to cry for the demon Li Yuehua, your face is being slapped hard, aren’t you embarrassed?”

Everyone followed the woman and criticized Zhou Yu, thinking that he shouldn’t speak for Li Yuehua.

Zhou Yu glanced at the weirdo who was walking towards the door with his packed food, and pretended to be embarrassed and said to the people who criticized him, “It seems that I thought things too simply, I’m sorry.”

Soon, Zhou Yu left the restaurant with his packed food.
