Officer Zhao, standing next to Officer Zhang, brightened up and asked eagerly, "You mean someone was doing something at Wang Tianfu's house in the middle of the night?"
"How would I know? It was the middle of the night, and someone in his family had died. I didn't dare to go and see."
"Well..." Officer Zhao was about to continue asking when Officer Zhang interrupted him, whispering a reminder, "It could also be those people who did it."
"Those people?" Officer Zhao repeated, his eyes filled with confusion.
Officer Zhang: ...
Lan Yao: ...
Grandma Yu: ...
Lan Yao said meaningfully, "Officer Zhang has really worked hard."
Grandma Yu patted Lan Yao on the shoulder: "How dare you talk about others like that? Didn't you know the answer just now?"
Lan Yao chuckled, spread her hands, and said rather shamelessly, "I have no choice. I'm a country bumpkin, of course I haven't seen any big scenes."
Grandma Yu patted her again and looked at Officer Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back with Yao Xin to have breakfast."
Officer Zhang looked helpless: "It's nothing. I just wanted to check on you. Seeing that you look much better than before, I'm relieved."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Officer Zhao, who was only just realizing what was happening, away. Officer Zhao, still somewhat uncertain, asked, "Brother Zhang, are we just going to leave like this? Aren't we going to ask him anything?"
Officer Zhang: "Ask away. Why don't you ask? We'll go door to door again in a bit."
In fact, after the murder occurred yesterday afternoon, they had already gone door-to-door to ask, and even sent people to look for Wang Tianfu.
But they found nothing, had no clues, and didn't even know where Wang Tianfu was.
After suspecting that Wang Tianfu might have committed murder, they panicked and fled.
Officer Zhang thought this was impossible.
According to the neighbors, after the couple had a big argument at the alley entrance, Wang Tianfu left his wife and never returned.
The situation quickly reached a stalemate.
Lan Yao and Grandma Yu didn't care how Officer Zhang and the others were struggling with their issues.
The mother and daughter were going back to their room to have breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Lan Yao asked, "Grandma Yu, have you stored all the winter vegetables for the winter?"
The capital city is located near the north, and the winters are very cold, so there are hardly any fresh vegetables to eat.
Therefore, as October draws to a close and November begins, people need to start storing vegetables for the winter, otherwise they won't have any vegetables to eat all winter.
You can't skip vegetables.
Since she was going to stay with Grandma Yu for a few days, she should at least do something to help her.
Grandma Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently at Lan Yao: "Li Hao had already taken care of it for me."
"Oh, I see. I'll go out in a bit and see if I can get some for you."
Grandma Yu immediately became a little nervous: "Then, will you come back?"
Grandma Yu was really afraid that Lan Yao would never come back.
Lan Yao took a sip of the rice porridge mixed with various grains and said to her grandmother, "Yes, I will. Don't worry. I'm a very trustworthy person. When Li Hao comes back..."
Grandma Yu interrupted, "Then could you... could you not leave?"
Lan Yao paused for a moment before speaking again: "Grandma Yu, I can only stay with you for a few days. I have other things to do in a few days."
"After you finish your other things, can you come back? Can you come back?" Grandma Yu asked somberly, stirring the rice porridge in her bowl with a spoon.
Lan Yao thought for a moment and said, "We'll see. I haven't thought about what to do after this is all resolved."
Grandma Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "Then, let's talk."
The two then tacitly changed the subject and stopped talking about it.
After breakfast, Lan Yao stood up and helped tidy up.
After she finished tidying up, a lively commotion arose outside. With her sharp ears, she heard someone shouting, "Wang Tianfu is back! Wang Tianfu is back!"
Grandma Yu heard the commotion outside from inside the house. She looked at Lan Yao and asked, "Should we go take a look?"
Lan Yao looked at Grandma Yu with a smile: "I feel that you don't seem to like crowds, Grandma Yu."
Grandma Yu was very frank: "I really don't like crowds. But since you came, I've become interested in seeing what's happening outside."
Lan Yao: ...
Yu Suanpan: "Haha, the old lady is quite interesting."
The jade Pixiu somehow escaped from the space and said, "Master, this old lady is probably in a better mood because of you. She's more energetic and naturally wants to join in the fun."
Lan Yao didn't mind. She nodded to her grandmother and said, "Okay. Let's go take a look together."
Grandma Yu held Lan Yao's arm, and the two of them opened the door and looked outside.
There weren't many people in the alley at the time, but they still blocked the road.
Lan Yao then heard someone shout, "Wang Tianfu, where did you run off to yesterday? Do you know your wife is dead?"
Wang Tianfu was shocked: "What did you say? My wife is dead? It's impossible. She was so fierce, and her beatings and scoldings were so forceful. How could she be dead?"
As Wang Tianfu was speaking, he collapsed to the ground, his mind becoming hazy.
A while later, Officer Zhang arrived with Officer Zhao and the others.
As soon as they arrived, they told everyone to disperse, but there were still a few gossip lovers who didn't want to leave.
Officer Zhang didn't stop him. He had Officer Zhao help Wang Tianfu up and into the yard. Then he asked, "Where did you go after you had your argument with your wife yesterday?"
Wang Tianfu's eyes were lifeless, and he kept muttering to himself that it was impossible.
Officer Zhang patted Wang Tianfu hard on the shoulder, bringing him back to his senses.
Wang Tianfu looked at Officer Zhang with blank eyes. Officer Zhang had no choice but to ask the same question again.
Wang Tianfu paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I swept the streets all night yesterday. Officer Zhang, you know I come from a poor background. I had a fight with my wife yesterday, and I was about to go to work. I could have gone home after sweeping a section, but..."
Wang Tianfu pursed his lips. "The younger brother of the Red Committee's lackey gave me trouble, and then he had no choice but to make me sweep another street and clean the toilets nearby. I've been busy until now and only just got back."
Hearing this, Grandma Yu sighed softly, and Lan Yao patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Grandma Yu said, "Let's go back."
She didn't want to watch anymore.
Lan Yao took the person back and then prepared to go out for a stroll.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she ran into Officer Zhang, Officer Zhao, and others who were coming out of Wang Tianfu's house.
Officer Zhang asked, "Where are you going?"
Lan Yao: "I want to help Grandma Yu store some more winter vegetables."
Upon hearing this, Officer Zhang's impression of her improved somewhat: "You don't need to worry about the winter vegetables, we've already prepared them."
