After dinner, Xu Miaomiao was supported by Chen Chen and went down to Chen Jinzhu's ward on the second floor.

When they arrived, the family of three had just finished dinner. Wu Sanni had gone to wash the dishes, and only Chen Jin was there with his daughter.

Chen Jinzhu was leaning against the headboard while talking to Chen Jin. When she saw Xu Miaomiao and the others come in, she called out softly, "Uncle, Aunt."

Chen Jin, who was sitting with his back to the door, realized that they had arrived. He quickly stood up and gave his stool to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao sat by the bed, holding Chen Jinzhu's little hand, looking at the gauze on her forehead, and spoke softly.

"Jinzhu, thank you for being so brave to protect your little brother today."

Chen Jinzhu felt a little embarrassed by her praise, and said with her head down.

"Actually, I didn't do anything. Aunt Sumei rushed in and wanted to hug my brother. I just tried to stop her, but she knocked me down. I don't know anything."

The little girl felt that she had not protected her brother well and did not deserve other people's praise.

Xu Miaomiao touched her hair and said slowly, "But you were very brave to stand up and stop her. That's very brave."

Xu Miaomiao chatted with the child for a while. After all, both of them were injured and it was not suitable for them to stay up late, so they prepared to go back.

There were not many inpatients in the town's health center, so Chen Chen paid a little more money and both families lived in single rooms.

There were two vacant beds in the ward, so both families slept well that night.

They thought Chen Jianghe and Wang Yan would bring their children to the hospital to see them today, but they didn't expect that the people who arrived before them were people from the Public Security Bureau.

No matter when, a homicide is a big deal, so this time three police officers from the county public security bureau came at once.

Because the person involved was a lesbian, there was also a lesbian among the police officers they brought, who was young, had big eyes and short hair.

Xu Miaomiao was mentally prepared for their coming, but Chen Chen was a little confused. He left early yesterday and had no idea that Zhao Sumei was dead.

When I saw them coming, I thought they were here to deal with the matter of Zhao Sumei stealing her child.

Although he was puzzled as to why they came before he had time to report the case, he still quickly stood up and welcomed the three people in.

The first person to speak was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. He looked very righteous, and there was a horizontal scar on his neck that ran across the entire neck.

"Hello, I'm from the county public security bureau. My name is Meng Yongjun, and this is Li Qiang and Zhang Xiu."

He first introduced himself, and then introduced the two young police officers behind him one by one.

Chen Chen nodded and said, "My name is Chen Chen, and this is my wife Xu Miaomiao."

The man looked at Xu Miaomiao for a while, focusing on her wrapped left hand, before he began to talk about the reason for their visit.

"We received a report this morning from Zhou Wu of the Hexi Brigade, saying that you killed his wife, Zhao Sumei."

"What?" This sentence was exclaimed by two people at the same time, one was Xu Miaomiao who was pretending to be surprised, and the other was Chen Chen who was really surprised.

Xu Miaomiao asked in shock, "Zhao Sumei is dead?" Then she asked in confusion, "Who is this Zhou Wu?"

She really had no impression of this name. Chen Chen explained to her in a low voice, "Zhou Wu is Zhou Laowu's full name."

Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly. Meng Yongjun had been paying attention to Xu Miaomiao's expression with a serious look, wondering if she had discovered anything.

He gestured for the female police officer to come over and question them, while he stood aside and observed Xu Miaomiao and Chen Chen intently.

Zhang Xiu took out a notebook and pen, and wrote down the questions in the notebook.

"What is your relationship with Zhao Sumei?"

Xu Miaomiao recalled what the little white flowers looked like when she saw them on TV before and tried her best to recreate them.

She spoke softly, looking frightened.

"We were educated youth who went to the countryside together."

She looked at the three people in front of her timidly with her big watery eyes.

She has a thin frame, is young, and has delicate features. She is curled up in the hospital bed, a small ball, which makes people feel sympathy for her.

Look, the tone of the female police officer Zhang Xiu who was questioning the police was much softer than at the beginning, and Li Qiang's expression was not as alert as at the beginning.

But Xu Miaomiao noticed that Meng Yongjun's expression never changed, and he seemed to be a powerful character.

"Is there any conflict between you?"

Xu Miaomiao recalled what happened between her and Zhao Sumei and spoke without hiding anything.

"When we were at the educated youth camp together, the guy she liked liked me, so she always made trouble for me."

"But I moved away with my husband after we got married, and I haven't seen him for over a year."

"And then there's this time when we came back to hold a birthday party for our child, and she came to snatch my child away."

Zhang Xiu wrote down her words and then asked.

"Then how did you fall off the cliff?"

Xu Miaomiao's face was filled with disgust. "She wanted to throw my child down the mountain in front of me, and I fell down to save the child."

The female police officer pressed on, "Who can prove it?"

Xu Miaomiao looked back at Chen Chen helplessly, and spoke with some emotions out of control.

"I don't know! She was fine when I fell. Why are you saying she's dead or that I killed her?"

"I lost consciousness after I fell, and when I woke up I was in the hospital."

“I really don’t know what happened in between!”

As she spoke, she became emotional and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"She stole my child and wanted to kill him! Why didn't you arrest her but came to interrogate me?"

"What kind of logic is this? I'm clearly the victim! I want to see Director Mu. You're bullying me!"

As she cried, Zhang Xiu and Li Qiang looked embarrassed. Before coming to the hospital, they had gone to the Hexi Brigade to find villagers to understand the situation.

They all felt that Xu Miaomiao was an innocent victim and that Zhao Sumei should have fallen to death.

But their Director Meng always felt something was wrong and wanted to come and ask about it.

Li Qiang quickly said, "Don't get excited. As long as it wasn't you, we won't wrongly accuse you."

"As for Director Mu... he went to work in the city before the New Year. He is our current director."

As he spoke, he pointed at Meng Yongjun who had been silent beside him.

Xu Miaomiao also looked at him, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Meng Yongjun then withdrew his gaze, smiled and said.

"Comrade Xu Miaomiao, don't be nervous. We're not saying you're the murderer."

"It's just a murder case. We're just following the procedure. Don't get excited. Just tell the truth."

Chen Chen now understood their purpose, and stood in front of Xu Miaomiao with some displeasure, blocking their scrutiny.
