Looking at him now, he is indeed a very special young man.
“It’s me.” Xiao He nodded. “It’s like this, officer. After I rescued this child, she vomited due to a violent cough. We then found undigested white pills in her vomit. Considering the child’s current lethargic state, I suspect that she may have been given sleeping pills or something similar before!”
"What?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Minzhen and the aunt spoke at the same time.
Yu Minzhen looked in astonishment at the child who had been curled up listlessly in her arms after crying, then looked at the aunt and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxuan hasn't been sick recently, so why are there pills in her stomach? Didn't you say you bought those sleeping pills to treat your insomnia? You usually give my daughter sleeping pills?"
The woman immediately changed the subject: "I...I didn't! This young man is just making things up! Those are vitamins! How did it turn into sleeping pills? This young man is talking complete nonsense!"
Yu Minzhen sneered: "Didn't you secretly take those vitamins yourself before? Why would you be so kind as to feed them to my daughter?"
She had indeed bought some vitamins before, but the old woman ate them all herself. When Yu Minzhen tried to reason with her, the old woman said that it was a waste for Xiaoxuan to eat those things, that she was being wasteful, and that children in the past didn't need to take many vitamins and still grew up. So Yu Minzhen stopped buying those things after that.
Now, things have gotten even worse; this old woman has actually put on an act.
Officer Yan observed the expressions of the older woman and Yu Minzhen, and came to a general conclusion. He then said to Xiao He, "You've observed quite carefully."
Xiao He just smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with pills either. It just so happens that the lady next door is a nurse, so she's more sensitive to these kinds of drugs."
When Xiao He was rescuing the child, he felt something was off. The child seemed slow to react, listless, and in a dazed state. He thought the child had some mental issues, until the neighbor discovered the pills in the vomit. Xiao He then realized that the child wasn't stupid, but that the medication was still taking effect, making him somewhat dazed.
Xiao He hadn't thought much of it at first; it might be normal for adults to give children pills. But after seeing the woman's behavior and attitude, Xiao He became suspicious again.
As the saying goes, a bad person's cunning is no match for a fool's quick thinking.
Xiao He even had reason to suspect that the woman was doing it on purpose, taking the battery back to commit murder! She wanted to kill the child at home!
However, judging from the aunt's distressed attitude towards the house, it probably isn't that bad...
This reminded Xiao He of a news story he had seen before. In a certain place, nannies would deliberately feed children sedative and sleep-inducing pills such as vitamin B1 and melatonin to make childcare easier, keeping the children in a drowsy and "well-behaved" state all day long. This way, they could even save money on lunch. Children don't understand things, and parents wouldn't notice it in a short time.
But... this is someone's own granddaughter! This is truly heartless...
Xiao He's words were reasonable and well-founded, and the aunt's reaction didn't seem fake either. The police immediately became more vigilant, and Yu Minzhen was also determined to find out the truth.
However, since Xiaoxuan couldn't speak, and the only sign language she could use was inconvenient due to her previous burns, the police could only let Yu Minzhen take good care of Xiaoxuan in the hospital. They collected the contents of Xiaoxuan's vomit and conducted an investigation in the room where the fire started...
Xiao He heard what happened next from He Junhao.
Because the security guards of their community blocked the ambulance, delaying the rescue, the property management company compensated them afterwards. However, the community residents were very angry and their attitude was firm. In the end, they successfully changed to a new property management company, and He Junhao was finally able to have food delivery drivers bring food to his doorstep.
The investigation revealed that the woman did not intend to harm Xiaoxuan, but the abuse was essentially confirmed. She not only secretly starved Xiaoxuan by not giving her lunch, but also regularly gave her sleeping pills that she used herself. Then she would sneak out to play cards with her friends. Taking the batteries back to recharge was just plain stupid. As a result, she never expected that such a thing would happen. Not only did she lose her home, but she also almost killed her granddaughter.
After learning the whole truth, Ms. Yu decisively filed for divorce from her husband. After failing to persuade him to stay, her husband had no choice but to agree to the divorce. Xiao Xuan will be raised by Minzhen from now on.
As for this woman, she will face criminal charges of abuse and arson, with multiple offenses combined, and will face one to three years of criminal liability.
Upon hearing this result, Xiao He could only say, "Serves you right!"
