"Why?" Wu Xiumin's sense of smell was also very sharp. She immediately asked, "Do you know that shampoo factory?"
"Mm …"
Zhang Shixiong's mother was about to speak, but Zhang Shixiong's father suddenly grabbed her and said, "At that time, there was only one shampoo factory in Yunzhou! It was called … What was it called? What dew? "
"Mm …" Zhang Shixiong's mother quickly said, "Yes, yes, I only remember the word dew! Maybe it was the rain dew brand, or the morning dew brand? "
"Are you kidding me?" Wu Xiumin said sternly, "How do you know the address of the shampoo factory is in Xinhuwan?"
"Yes." The assistant next to them also noticed the problem. "Such a big thing happened, what are you still trying to hide?"
"Mm … This …" At this time, the old couple stopped talking, and their faces became extremely gloomy.
"Ahem …" Miao Ying saw the problem, so she immediately coughed and gave Wu Xiumin a look.
Wu Xiumin reacted quickly and immediately understood Miao Ying's meaning.
So, she said to the assistant, "Xiao Zhang, we have been asking for so long. Auntie and uncle are already thirsty. Take uncle to the office to drink some water first!"
"Mm … Not thirsty, not thirsty …" Hearing this, Zhang Shixiong's father became extremely unnatural.
"It's okay. After asking for so long, you should go to the bathroom, smoke a cigarette, and take a break! Xiao Zhang, take uncle to the bathroom! "
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Zhang also understood and immediately gestured for the guest to leave. "Please!"
Zhang Shixiong's father had no choice but to get up and leave. But when he left, he quietly gave Zhang Shixiong's mother a look.
However, his look was too forceful. Before Zhang Shixiong's mother could see clearly, Miao Ying and the others saw everything.
This time, everyone had no doubt that the old couple must be hiding something.
Xiao Zhang was more sensible, so he immediately sped up and led Zhang Shixiong's father out.
As soon as Zhang Shixiong's father left, Zhang Shixiong's mother's face became even more gloomy. She nervously pinched her fingers, looking uneasy and anxious.
"Auntie," Wu Xiumin said, "Don't be nervous. Just tell us what you know!"
"Officer …" Mrs. Zhang asked in a trembling voice, "My boss is here, so I didn't dare to ask. Are you suspecting that our Fengyi … Fengyi … um … she …"
"That's right," Miao Ying said calmly. "The facts are clear. In Zhang Fengyi's cellar, there were seven female corpses. Do you think we will suspect Zhang Fengyi?"
"How … how could this be?" Zhang's mother said in a trembling voice, "Fengyi is a little arrogant, but she killed someone! She killed someone!"
"Auntie," Miao Ying asked, "Don't worry about it. We just want to know why you know so much about the shampoo factory in New Lake Bay."
"Understand? You don't really understand him, do you? We just talked about it … um … that factory is quite famous … "
Bang!
Unexpectedly, Miao Ying slammed the table, scaring Mrs. Zhang to the point that her whole body trembled.
"No matter how famous the factory is, you can't possibly tell us the address," Miao Ying said sternly. "Tell us, what is going on?"
"This … I … I … um …" Mrs. Zhang was obviously not a scheming person. Miao Ying's shout confused her, and she muttered, "My father-in-law … My father-in-law …"
Huh?
Oh …
When Miao Ying and Wu Xiumin heard the words "my father-in-law," they suddenly realized that, although Zhang Shixiong's family was small, he had grandparents!
"Your father-in-law … What happened?" Wu Xiumin asked quickly. "Is he working at the shampoo factory?!"
"It's … it's the delivery driver!" Mrs. Zhang said in a trembling voice. "My father-in-law was delivering goods to the shampoo factory … So, we know that when we first got married, he even helped out …"
Hearing this, Miao Ying's eyes widened again. It was highly possible that she had found Zhang Fengyi's accomplice!
"The bathtub!" Miao Ying said. "The bathtub in Zhang Fengyi's house was installed after she fell ill! So, who installed the bathtub for her? "
"This … Um …" Mrs. Zhang was silent, but her face was getting paler.
"Zhang Fengyi said that the wine cellar had a bad smell. Who sealed it for her?" Miao Ying asked again.
"This …" Mrs. Zhang was still speechless.
At the same time, Wu Xiumin had already found the information from the case database, and she quietly showed it to Miao Ying.
Zhang Shixiong's grandfather was called Zhang Tingshan. He had been a sailor, a construction worker, and a truck driver!
He passed away in 2002, at the age of 74.
When the female worker at the shampoo factory disappeared, Zhang Tingshan was delivering goods to the shampoo factory.
That year, Zhang Fengyi had been seriously ill for many years.
That year, Zhang Tingshan was only 61.
All of this couldn't be a coincidence, right?
"Auntie …"
Wu Xiumin launched a psychological attack and began to analyze the situation and reason with Mrs. Zhang.
Finally, after more than 40 minutes, Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear the huge pressure anymore. She cried and said, "You're right. That bathtub was installed by my father-in-law for Zhang Fengyi!
At that time, bathtubs were still luxuries. They weren't easy to buy, so it must have cost a lot of money. I even complained about it behind his back. "
"Which year?" Miao Ying asked. "When was the bathtub installed?"
"Um …" Mrs. Zhang recalled. "It was one or two years after Zhang Fengyi was diagnosed with her blood disease. Maybe it was 86 or 87. "
86, 87 …
Miao Ying recalled that Peter committed the Red Bathtub Case from 80 to 82, which was a gap of more than four years.
"Then …" Wu Xiumin asked again, "When was Zhang Fengyi diagnosed with her blood disease? 84? "
"Um … Yes, it should be 84," Mrs. Zhang said. "She was at her best, really …"
She wanted to say "it's a pity," but when she thought of the seven bodies, she didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Zhang," Miao Ying asked, "does he really love Zhang Fengyi?"
"Of course, he even gave the house to her. What do you think?" Mrs. Zhang said. "He spoils her so much, and Fengyi has always been their pride. They always show off in front of others …"
"Then … The wine cellar …" Wu Xiumin asked.
"I don't know about that!" Mrs. Zhang shook her head. "You mean Shixiong's father? He should know about it, right? I don't remember going to Zhang Fengyi's place very often. This is a common problem for wives and sisters-in-law. Plus, the house was given to her, so of course I didn't feel good about it … "
"But, Shixiong's father is honest," Mrs. Zhang said. "I complained a little, but that's all. In terms of face, it's still okay!"
"Auntie," Miao Ying asked, "do you have any special opinions about this sister-in-law? Can you tell us about it? "
"Opinions? Well … Maybe I shouldn't say it, but … "Mrs. Zhang said." My sister-in-law is a little arrogant. She's not very easy-going in her words and actions. She's more … more like her own personality!
But, that's just a small part of it. Overall, she's quite a nice person … "
"No, that's not what I'm asking," Miao Ying said. "I mean, does she believe in anything? Is there anything unusual about her? "
"Huh?" Hearing this question, Mrs. Zhang trembled again and slumped into the chair.
