After a few seconds of pause, Liang Damin looked at Niu Jiazhen and said:
"Xiao Niu, on the way here, didn't I tell you two sisters to stop fooling around? The police will explain the situation to you in a bit."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and whispered a reminder to Niu Jiazhen.
"Have you two sisters considered your brother Niu Jiayu's job? There must be a reason why the police made this arrangement."
You know what, Liang Damin's whispered reminder really worked.
The Niu sisters immediately stopped crying and stopped talking.
On the way to the guesthouse, Liang Damin had spoken with Niu Dajiang's two daughters, telling them not to cause trouble when they met the police officers at the factory. He also brought up the issue of Niu Jiazhen's younger brother Niu Jiayu's job. However, on the way here, Niu Jiazhen was still unable to accept her father's death and lost control of her emotions for a moment.
Seeing about ten people standing outside the door, Wu Dinghuai said to Liang Damin:
"Section Chief Liang, please let Niu Dajiang's two daughters in. Everyone else, please leave for now."
Liang Damin then took Niu Jiazhen and Niu Jiarong to the investigation team's office, then turned and left, taking all of Niu Dajiang's relatives to another room in the guesthouse.
After Niu Jiazhen and her younger sister Niu Jiarong entered the office, Wu Dinghuai looked at the two sisters and first announced their identities:
"We are police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Please sit down first. We have some things to discuss with you and we also want to understand some situations from you."
Despite Niu Jiazhen and her sister Niu Jiarong crying in front of Liang Damin, once they entered the office and faced Wu Dinghuai, Shao Jian, and Zhao Le in their police uniforms, they suddenly became nervous, and their tears seemed to freeze instantly.
They sat down on the two chairs that Wu Dinghuai indicated, the two sisters looking at the police officers in front of them with unease.
Wu Dinghuai did not speak, but got up from his chair and turned the head of the floor fan towards Niu Jiazhen and Niu Jiarong.
It was the height of summer, and the grief of Niu Jiazhen and her sister upon learning of their father's death was unimaginable. They had cried countless times on their way here, their faces covered in tears and their clothes soaked through.
Wu Dinghuai directed the fan towards the two sisters out of humanitarian concern, which would facilitate building trust between them and make subsequent communication and questioning easier.
The wind from the electric fan whirred, making Niu Jiazhen and Niu Jiarong's short hair flutter.
To be honest, Wu Dinghuai's small gesture filled the Niu sisters with gratitude, after all, he was a police officer.
They simply didn't understand why the security personnel at the Hongqi Factory had brought them before the police, nor did they know what had happened to their father's death.
Zhao Le also stood up, handed the two large porcelain jars to Niu Jiazhen and Niu Jiarong, and said:
"It's so hot, have some water first."
Niu Jiazhen swallowed hard, wanting to drink, but quickly waved her hand:
"Officer, we're not thirsty. We just want to know how our leader died. Was he murdered? We want to see our leader."
As Niu Jiazhen spoke, although she did not cry loudly, tears welled up in her eyes.
Wu Dinghuai felt the time was right and that he could begin questioning Niu Jiazhen, so he looked at her and said:
"You must be Comrade Niu Dajiang's eldest daughter?"
Niu Jiazhen quickly nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, I am my eldest daughter, and next to me is my younger sister, Niu Jiarong."
Wu Dinghuai looked at Niu Jiazhen, then at Niu Jiarong.
"Niu Jiazhen, Niu Jiarong, do you two sisters know Liu Xianghai, the barber on your street?"
