Chapter 369 A Hot Meal (11)

The next morning, when Wu Cuo opened his eyes, he saw Yan Ruyu wrapped in a quilt sitting in front of the computer playing games.

Wu turned around by mistake, and wanted to lie down for a few more minutes, Yan Ruyu turned around and patted him, "Get up quickly when you wake up, don't pretend to be dead."

"It's... not yet dawn, is it?" Wu mistakenly covered his head with a quilt and asked in a daze.

wow-

Yan Ruyu opened the curtains, and the sun was shining brightly.

"Some people don't sleep at night and get up during the day. How old are they..."

"Understood, Dad Yan..." Wu Cuo muttered as he covered himself in the quilt.

Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and smiled, half of her smile was a bit bitter.

If his parents were still alive, they would probably have nagged him like this.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu couldn't bear to call him a little bit, but she still insisted: "I'll go buy breakfast, you'd better get up when you come back."

Two 10 minutes later.

The two went out while eating steamed stuffed buns, Wu Cuo said: "I remember you said yesterday...there will be a breakthrough in the case today..."

"What's the hurry, didn't you just start today?"

"Any ideas?"

"It's actually not that complicated.

There is no doubt that the back kitchen is a closed environment, and the murderer can only be the staff in the store. Moreover, there are people who are lying, and whoever lies is the murderer. "

"I also know this..." Wu Cuo rarely retorted Yan Ruyu, "The key is what to do next? Continue to ask?"

"Ask someone else."

"Who?"

"The person who is least likely to lie to us - the child's mother."

City Burn Hospital, a general ward.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo first saw the proprietress outside the ward.

My younger sister was accidentally burned, and she has been taking care of her these days.The proprietress's complexion is not very good, obviously tired and exhausted.

Seeing the two criminal policemen, she was taken aback for a moment, and stepped forward to stop them outside the ward.

"You are...?"

"We want to talk to the mother of the baby."

"But..." The proprietress has no intention of giving in at all, "I haven't told her about Xiao Yu, I'm afraid...she won't be able to bear it."

That's a problem.The mother of the child will inevitably have a nervous breakdown when she hears this kind of news. When the time comes, the result of the inquiry will be greatly reduced, and the two may make a futile trip.

Wu Cuo frowned and asked the proprietress, "Then when are you going to tell her?"

"I... hey! She just asked about the child's condition and said she wanted to see the child..."

Seeing that this person had no idea, Yan Ruyu simply opened the door and went straight into the ward.

There were three beds in the ward, but luckily only one bed was occupied, and that was naturally the child's mother.

The two approached and saw that the woman on the hospital bed was almost completely naked. The right waist and abdomen and the front and outside of the thigh were smeared with medicine for treating burns. The medicine, blood, and pus seeped out through the gauze, and the injury was still a bit serious. of.

Hearing the movement, the woman who closed her eyes and meditated opened her eyes.

Seeing that it was two men, she pulled a thin blanket over it in panic.

"The two are...?"

"We are criminal police officers from the Public Security Bureau of Beijing City. Regarding your burn, we would like to know something about you." Yan Ruyu said.

"Ah?" The woman was very confused, "Did I make a mistake? This is... an accident!"

After saying this, she began to worry that the two were liars again, and glanced at the bedside table out of the corner of her eye——Yan Ruyu guessed that there should be some valuables such as cash in the bedside table.

"Sister! Sister!" The woman yelled towards the door uneasily.

When the proprietress entered the room, she almost looked at the two criminal policemen with pleading eyes.

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly at her, telling her to be calm.

"Your burn may not have been an accident, which... your sister will explain to you later."

"Yes." The proprietress answered bluntly.

"In the store? What's the matter?" the woman asked.

Yan Ruyu cut off the conversation and asked, "Can you tell us what happened the day you were burned? Let's start from the moment you entered the shop early in the morning."

"Oh...that day..." The woman thought for a few seconds, adjusted her thoughts, and replied, "I took the child out at six o'clock that morning..."

"Six o'clock? So early? Can the children wake up?"

"It's not so early every day..." the woman said.

The proprietress took over the conversation and said: "It's inconvenient for her to bring the child. She usually goes to the store around nine o'clock. That morning... hey! I have a toothache. This is also an old problem. I have been enduring it. The pain was unbearable, so I wanted to go to the hospital and go to the store later."

The woman continued: "Didn't it get cold these two days? The business in the store was very good early in the morning, and it was too busy. My sister didn't go, so I wanted to go there early to help, so I took my child there early. "

Yan Ruyu rubbed her chin and said, "So, you came to the store very early that day, and it was actually an abnormal situation?"

"Yes."

"Except for your sister and brother-in-law, do other people in the store know that you will bring your child there early?"

"I probably don't know. I haven't told them... I didn't know until I went there... Hey, what's the matter? Sister?"

Yan Ruyu continued to ask: "How did you get burned, do you remember?"

"That..." The topic was brought back by Yan Ruyu, and the woman could only continue: "It was very sudden at the time, that is, the soles of the feet slipped... Sigh, I never felt that the back kitchen floor was slippery..."

"Then was the child by your side when you were burned?"

"No! The child was outside at the time! Fortunately, he wasn't there, otherwise he wouldn't have been scared..."

"What about after the burn? I heard that everyone carried you to the front hall together."

"That's right, it was Chef Wu who realized it first. He called for two helpers to carry me out together. A cleaner and a waiter also came to help and carried me outside to wait for the ambulance."

"Where's the rest of the shop? Do you remember what they were doing?"

"There were six or seven waiters in the front hall. The store was already open at that time. Everyone was waiting to greet customers. They were very busy. Some of them gave me advice, some of them asked me to put on toothpaste and soy sauce... As for each person's specific status What, I can't remember."

"Then what do you want a son? Did he care about you in the past?"

"My son was in the front hall, but I was afraid of frightening him, and besides the chaos at the time, I asked someone to take him away."

"Who did you ask?"

"I..." The woman asked suspiciously, "What happened to my son? Did something happen to my son?"

Yan Ruyu emphasized: "Do you remember who you asked to look after your son?"

Perhaps because of her mother's intuition, the woman insisted on asking this time: "Sister, where is Xiao Yu? You said you brought him to see me the day I was admitted to the hospital, why didn't you bring him?"

The proprietress looked at Yan Ruyu helplessly, and the woman became even more suspicious.

"The child's father is here!" Yan Ruyu said.
