Chapter 364 A Hot Meal (6)

"Boring!" Yan Ruyu thumped Wu Cuo's shoulder angrily.

Wu Cuo didn't find fault with him, and just asked, "What? Are you not happy that there are witnesses?"

"The case may be solved soon. Of course I'm happy for you, but... the fun of reasoning will be greatly reduced."

Wu Cuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he said: "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe there is no useful information."

God knows what other detectives will think when they hear Wu Cuo's words.

"Don't worry, just listen to it with me." Wu Cuo said.

Yan Ruyu had no choice but to agree.

It was a young man who was brought in by the police.The young man has a neat crew cut, and his hands are very clean, unlike the greasy hands of ordinary waiters, and his nails are neatly trimmed.

Like everyone else, the young man was wearing the uniform of the waiters in the store.

The overalls were a little whitish after washing, but they were clean without any oil spots.

"My name is Liu Yang." He introduced himself and sat down opposite Wu Cuo.

"Do you know when the child died?" Wu Cuo asked.

"Yes, maybe... I almost met the murderer."

"Please tell me in detail."

"OK.

Didn't the lady boss's sister get burned yesterday morning? Everyone was carrying people around, making a mess. I don't like flattering, so I was squeezed into the outermost circle.

Because of this, I saw Xiao Yu who was also squeezed outside—the dead child.

When I saw him, my first reaction was that something happened to his mother, so don't let anything happen to him... How should I put it, it seemed like I had a premonition at the time, anyway, I just wanted to take good care of the child.

With such a blink of an eye, Xiao Yu went to the back kitchen.

I didn't follow up immediately, because I was new here, and the master chef wouldn't let me into the back kitchen.

I was about to call Master to let him go to the back kitchen to have a look, when the ambulance arrived, and everyone was carrying people, so they couldn't care about anything else.

I felt that no one could see, so I gritted my teeth and entered the back kitchen, but when I went in, the back kitchen was already empty, and the child was gone!

However, the skylight was open, and the moment I entered the door, I felt as if someone was passing by the skylight.

It happened in a split second, it was too fast, so I didn't take it to heart at the time, I thought some bird flew past.

When I went out from the back kitchen, I searched for Xiaoyu, but there was no one... Hey!I was too careless at the time, just thought it was him who ran out to play. "

Liu Yang lowered his head, clenched his fists, and trembled all over.

Wu Cuo said: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find the murderer."

"Officer, is it because of me? Was it at that time...Xiao Yu...was already in the pot? If I had discovered the anomaly earlier..." He pulled his hair painfully, "If I had discovered it earlier, his Will my life be saved..."

Wu Cuo accompanied him and sighed, "You are helping him by telling what you know.

At that time, no one cared about Xiao Yu, only you, and this was helping him, but there is always a limit to helping others, and there is a limit to what you can worry about.

Don't blame yourself, today's result is not your fault. "

Liu Yang adjusted his mood, and said again: "I know, but when I think of the child in the pot...it's cooked like that...I really...hey!"

Yan Ruyu changed the topic to the direction of the question, and asked, "Did you see the child enter the back kitchen with your own eyes?"

"That's right! I happened to see him lift the curtain in front of the back kitchen door and sneak in."

"How long has it been since you found out that the child went into the back kitchen to when you went into the back kitchen to find someone?"

"This... I'm not very good at judging. I've always had a slow sense of time."

"This time should be very short, right? Because according to Chef Wu, it only takes a few minutes to wait for the ambulance."

"Maybe, I really don't know."

"Okay, then can you think of any details?"

"For now...that's all."

"Okay, thank you! The information you provided is very helpful to solve the case, don't be too sad, let the past be the past.

We may still ask you later, and please think about it again. If you can think of any details about Xiaoyu's disappearance, please feel free to contact me. "

Wu handed over his business card by mistake, Liu Yang took it, bowed his head and left silently without saying a word.

As soon as he left, Wu Cuo looked at the silent Yan Ruyu and asked, "You also noticed something was wrong?"

"Yeah, it's too obvious. He seems to be...deliberately blurring the time."

"Yeah, just like what Chef Wu said, it didn't take long to wait for the ambulance. It must have been a very short time from when he found the child into the back kitchen to when he himself entered the back kitchen.

The crux of the problem is, how short is this time?Is it enough that the murderer held a child hostage, took off all the child's clothes and shoes, and threw the child into a cauldron. "

"There is another problem." Yan Ruyu kept walking back and forth between the back kitchen and the front hall, "The sound insulation effect here is not good, unless the child is knocked unconscious at the first time... or killed, let him lose consciousness." Don't make a sound, otherwise, as long as the child yells, even if the outside focus is on the child's mother, it is impossible not to hear the sound of the kitchen.

Did you find anything when you surveyed the back kitchen?For example, traces of struggle, or sporadic bloodstains..."

"The preliminary investigation found nothing, and I will investigate again later. But... the victim was a child who had almost no ability to resist in front of adults. He was only three years old. He was subdued immediately and could not make any sound. , which is also normal."

"So, do you think Liu Yang's words are credible?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"There are no loopholes, and it matches the footprints we found on the roof. I think it is credible."

Yan Ruyu frowned and said nothing, Wu Cuo didn't bother him to think, and waited quietly for a few minutes.

Just when Wu Cuo was about to start questioning the next person, Yan Ruyu suddenly said, "Go and walk around the roof again."

"What?"

"If you are told to go, then go, where there is so much nonsense."

"I'll go, Lafayette."

Wu Cuo climbed up to the roof from the skylight in the back kitchen again, but Yan Ruyu didn't follow, but went out of the store, stood across the road from the door, and waved to Wu Cuo.

He dialed Wu Cuo's phone number and asked, "Did you see me?"

"I see, what's wrong?"

"I saw you too, you poised your waist."

"Oh."

Wu Cuo already understood what he meant, and tried his best to push his body down to the minimum, almost shrunk into a ball.

"Can you still see it?" he asked.

"can."

"Understood, come down."

Back in the front hall of the restaurant again, Wu Cuo frowned.

"Is the boy lying?" he asked.

"It's hard to say now, all I know is that it's not too early when the child's mother was scalded. There should already be pedestrians on the street. If the murderer climbed on the roof at this time, it would be too... conspicuous. This is inappropriate. Common sense."

"Then visit first to see if anyone has seen this murderer who climbed the roof."
