135: Chapter 12 Pointing_1 135: Chapter 12 Pointing_1 “Even if we run into him, we wouldn’t recognize him, would we?

He doesn’t have ‘Zhang Laosan’ written on his face, does he?” Yan Fei pretended to be worried and continued asking.

“He’s just a big chubby guy, with a distinguished appearance.

There aren’t many people as fat as he is, very recognizable.

Plus, he wears glasses.

He hurt one of his eyes in a past fight, so one eye is bigger than the other.

With the glasses to conceal it a bit, if you didn’t know better, you’d think he was an intellectual.

Actually, he doesn’t have any education.” Fifth Brother said disdainfully, rolling his eyes.

“Oh!” Yan Fei responded, mentally noting these characteristics.

Seeing Yan Fei deep in thought, Fifth Brother also fell silent and looked thoughtful, though it was unclear what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, Fifth Sister-in-law asked from the side, “I wonder how that handsome guy who killed Zhang Laowu is doing?

He kicked a person to death at once and left so decisively.

I wonder if the police will initiate an investigation and whether they will find him or not?

According to me, they don’t even need to solve this case.

If more people like Zhang Laosan died, the streets would be a lot cleaner.”

It was unclear why she so firmly believed that the killer was a handsome guy, but every time she brought it up, she seemed worried, which made Yan feel a little weird.

“What are you worried about for no reason?

When it comes to matters of life and death, there should be a resolution.

Even if the one who died was a thief, it’s not right, it’s not like he was killed by a crowd!

But if it was me who had killed the man, I’d rush home, stay in, destroy any evidence, and never admit to it, then let’s see what they’d do?

He wasn’t a good guy anyway, I don’t believe that the police would have the nerve to force an interrogation.” Fifth Brother said while casually glancing at Yan Fei.

“Would simply denying it work?

The police have ways to catch people, right?” Yan Fei was enjoying the story and taking mental notes, and then suddenly Fifth Brother stopped talking.

“Burn the clothes you were wearing when you committed the murder, cover up any wounds on your body.

If you were cut by a blade, find a stone and smash it on the wound, be ruthless, don’t be afraid of pain, then make up a suitable excuse for the wound.

Soothe the children you brought back, and as long as they don’t spill the beans and the people on the street didn’t see clearly, then this case would be difficult to solve.” Fifth Brother’s tone was different when he talked about this.

However, Yan Fei was too absorbed in taking notes of these ‘experiences’ and didn’t notice the change.

“Hey, who knew you had so much experience in this?” Fifth Sister-in-law sneered, “What else you got?

Why did you stop?”

Yan Fei perked up his ears instantly as he had been wanting to ask the same question.

He prepared to continue learning from these ‘experiences’.

“What else could there be?” Fifth Brother was lazy again.

“Go home and live as normal, don’t speak of it, don’t try to investigate, forget about it, pretend nothing happened.

Eat, drink, and be merry.

Don’t let it weigh on your heart.”

Finally, he added: “Take the example of how students like Xiao Fei cheat in exams!

Some students cheat their ways to high scores, the whole school knows he cheated, but as long as he isn’t caught on the spot, and nobody can prove that he did, if he denies it, who can do anything to him?”

Yan Fei had an epiphany, but the example was so funny he couldn’t help laughing, “Turns out I am a cheater….”

Seems like he still needs to get more experience!

He should have stayed home, and as planned, take his brother to buy clothes.

There was no need to go around asking questions.

But if he didn’t ask, how would he know about these ‘experiences’?

Besides, in this peaceful era, how many people can commit a murder and still keep a calm face?

Even if Fifth Brother’s advice on dealing with crimes was taken, regular people wouldn’t need it, right?

Having thought through all this, Yan Fei felt that he should hurry home.

But he remembered that he needed to keep his little brother occupied.

He had promised to feed him and probably should have woken up by now.

Since he didn’t take him to buy clothes, at least he should bring some food back home.

Perfect, the river was close.

He could go catch some fish!

“Right, Fifth Brother, I need to go now.

I promised my brother to buy him clothes, but I didn’t.

For now, I am going to the river to catch a few fish.

I’ll catch a few extra ones for Fifth Sister-in-law to help her recover her health.” Yan Fei stood up, preparing to leave.

“Alright!

Go!” Fifth Brother’s eyelids twitched violently when he heard Yan Fei was going to buy clothes for his brother.

However, once Yan Fei finished speaking, he remained in the same lethargic position without moving.

Fifth Sister-in-law, however, got up to see Yan Fei off.

“Huh?

You’re going to catch fish without a net or anything?” As she walked Yan Fei to the door, Fifth Sister-in-law asked this question seemingly out of the blue.

“Just catch the fish with your hands, wait for the fish, I’ll be back soon.” Yan Fei waved his hand and ran off towards the river bank, leaving behind a stunned Fifth Sister-in-law.

Running along the river for a while, he found a secluded spot, threw his clothes onto the bank, and with a splash, jumped in.

Actually, it didn’t matter whether there were people around or not.

It was just the start of the holidays, and with the weather, there were groups of naughty kids playing in the water at various places along the river!

Those unruly kids were splashing all over, where could one find fish amongst the chaos?

Moreover, it was peaceful here, to avoid curious queries once he caught the fish.

The name of Tanghe County originated from the name of this river, and naturally, the river itself was called Tanghe.

When the river reached this point, it was not just the three rivers at Sancha River Town, there were other small tributaries flowing into it, making the river wide and deep.

Diving deep into the water and making sure he was out of sight from the river bank, he transformed into a small crocodile and started his ‘great fishing expedition’ freely!

This was why he deliberately chose a secluded spot.

Otherwise, if he suddenly dived into the river and transformed into a small crocodile without surfacing for a long time, anyone who saw him would definitely jump in to save the ‘drowning child’.

The deeper the water, the more fish there were, and Yan Fei’s efficiency in catching fish was extraordinary.

It was strange that the big fish in the river, apart from humans, basically had no natural predators, so they were quite unguarded.

Yan Fei caught five or six fish in no time, and two of them were surprisingly unharmed, which he kept on Vegetable Garden Island.

He has experience now, knowing where each fish likes to hide, which fish comes out during the day or night, he had researched quite a bit.

For instance, catfish rarely move during the day, usually hiding deep under the water, and other fish also had their habits.

All this knowledge could be obtained from biology textbooks.

So, education is definitely beneficial, Yan Fei had reached the level of ‘learning for the sake of application’.

He put on his wet clothes on the river bank and headed towards Fifth Brother’s shop with the fish.

“Did you really catch them with your bare hands?” Fifth Sister-in-law looked at him as if he were an alien.

Yan Fei had brought fish before, but he wasn’t one to boast about catching them bare-handed so this really astonished her.

Yan Fei smiled but didn’t say much.

He asked Fifth Sister-in-law what kind of fish she favored, reserve two for her, and despite her pleas for him to stay, he hurried away.

Not only did he have to appease his little brother, but he also had to quickly prepare the meal.

He’d promised to be a good support during the exams, so he couldn’t go back on his word.

“You think, was it this kid who did it this morning?” the moment Yan Fei left, Fifth Brother who was half-asleep, took a sip of tea and asked in a leisurely tone.

“Someone who can chase rabbits and catch fish with bare hands, I’ve only seen him do it.

Never heard of anyone else who could.”

“What are you talking about?” Fifth Sister-in-law was still clueless.

“That’s because you’re not widely read.

Haven’t you seen those heroes of Liang mountain, all of them able to catch fish with their bare hands.

And that Wu Erlang, he could even fight tigers barehanded!

What’s catching a rabbit got on this?”

“You…” Fifth Brother was immediately provoked by his wife’s words.

He spurted out the tea from his nose, stood up coughing with tears and snort all over his face, and awkwardly started to pat himself down, trying to get the tea off his clothes.

“Ehh…” Fifth Sister-in-law dragged out her words in disdain.

“Look at you, you’re a grown man unable to drink tea without making a mess, aren’t you embarrassed?

Go and change your clothes, don’t disgust me here, we’ll have to prepare to open the store soon.”

“Harrumph!” Fifth Brother was completely speechless.

He stood up stretching lazily, and without any more words, walked leisurely towards the backyard.

After Fifth Brother had been gone for a while, Fifth Sister-in-law was alone in the shop, flipping through the small ledger.

She suddenly stopped as if she finally understood what Fifth Brother had said before.

Her facial expression changed, and she murmured: “Yan Fei is such a sensible child, he wouldn’t do that kind of thing, right?

Moreover, he’s not even handsome…”

Then she continued flipping though clearly distracted.

When Yan Fei returned home with the fish, he sensed trouble.

The house door was wide open, and there were two men in large rimmed hats sitting inside!
