Chapter 134 Xu Hongxia's sound was like that of a lighter.

In the hospital, Xu Hongxia's husband and children were standing beside her bed, gathered together with red eyes, and talking to her.

Shen Qingye and the others walked to the door of the ward, paused, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and when he saw them looking over, he said, "Sorry to bother you."

"We are from the Pingjiang Municipal Bureau. Regarding the Liang family explosion case, there are some things we need to consult with Comrade Xu Hongxia. Is that convenient?"

As soon as these words came out, before the young people had time to say anything, Xu Hongxia on the hospital bed spoke in a daze: "What did you say?"

"What murder case?"

Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other. Xu Hongxia supported herself on the bed with one hand, trying to sit up, but due to her injuries, she failed and fell back.

The daughter quickly went over and held her down: "Mom!"

Xu Hongxia ignored her and stared at Shen Qingye closely: "What did you just say?"

"The Liang family was wiped out?" She looked incredulous.

Shen Qingye was afraid of irritating her, so he slowed down his tone and said slowly: "Don't you know yet?"

"I, I..." Xu Hongxia thought for a moment, frowning, "I just remember, I just remember a loud bang, and I was awakened at that time. But before I could react, I felt so much pain all over my body... Then, then I felt a little breathless, so uncomfortable..."

"When you wake up, it will be here."

"You said it was an explosion? The noise I heard was an explosion? And then, then the Liang family, the Liang family..."

She said with difficulty: "All gone?"

Shen Qingye pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment, for fear of irritating her again.

But when Xu Hongxia saw her like that, how could she not understand what was going on? He immediately lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She was such a good boss, such a good boss lady, and such obedient and sensible children, just gone like that?

She suddenly thought of something and said tremblingly: "Then, what about Yuexia? What about the other nanny? She, she also..."

Shen Qingye let out a breath and nodded with a heavy expression: "When we rescued them, the five members of the Liang family died on the spot. Gao Yuexia was still breathing, but on the way to the hospital, the rescue was ineffective..."

She didn't tell the result, but Xu Hongxia already knew it. She looked stunned and her face turned pale.

Xu Hongxia's son couldn't help but say with concern: "Mom..."

Xu Hongxia's eyes slowly turned, looking at the children in front of her, and murmured: "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Yes, she is the only one in the family who is fine.

Xu Hongxia didn't know whether to be thankful or how to react.

She was silent for a long time before she finally spoke: "Explosion, why did it explode? How did it explode?"

Yue Lingchuan said: "It was a gas explosion."

"Gas explosion?" Xu Hongxia finally came to her senses and looked at them in confusion, her tone a little flustered: "How could the gas explode for no reason? I always turn it off after using it! Nothing has happened in all these years!"

Shen Qingye naturally saw her nervousness and worry, and immediately comforted her: "We understand, don't worry."

She said in a slightly depressed tone: "In fact, after our investigation, we found that the Liang family's gas hose had traces of being cut by a sharp weapon."

Xu Hongxia repeated: "A sharp weapon...cut?"

She vaguely realized something and widened her eyes: "You mean, someone did it on purpose-"

"Is someone trying to kill them?"

Shen Qingye's face looked heavy and he nodded slowly.

Xu Hongxia's eyes instantly turned red, and she spoke in a trembling voice: "Who is it? Who is it? Who is so heartless?!"

Her employer's family has a child who is less than ten years old!

Shen Qingye took a deep breath: "This is the problem, and it is also the purpose of our coming here today. After all, you have worked in the Liang family for so many years, and you are more familiar with their family situation."

Xu Hongxia was in a trance. After hearing what was said, she finally reacted slowly and said with gritted teeth: "I understand, I understand!"

"If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you what I know!"

Shen Qingye politely asked Xu Hongxia's children to leave for a while, and then said: "Then we may need you to recall what happened last night."

"What time did the Liang family eat and go to bed yesterday? Did they see anyone during that time?"

Xu Hongxia thought for a moment: "Eat, sleep..."

"Because there are three children at home, and each of them is growing up, they always feel hungry after school. Therefore, dinner at home is usually eaten early, usually before 7 o'clock."

"After dinner, the husband and wife went out for a walk, and the children went back to do their homework. Then... around nine o'clock, the husband and wife came back from their walk, and the children had finished their homework, so they all prepared to go to bed."

"I was the last one to return to my room. It was around... around 9:50, I remember."

"Not long after I got back, I fell asleep."

Shen Qingye asked: "Does the Liang family usually have this schedule?"

Xu Hongxia nodded: "That's right, the husband and wife have a regular schedule, and the children have to go to school, so they have to go to bed early and get up early every day."

"I see." Shen Qingye looked at her and then asked, "Did you notice anything after you rested?"

"What's going on?" Xu Hongxia was stunned. "What's going on?"

She frowned, and something flashed through her still dazed mind. She slapped the bed hard, "Oh, I remember it, I remember it!"

"I wanted to tell the police when I first woke up, but my brain was twitching and I was interrupted by the kids, so I forgot!"

"I remember now. Not long after I fell asleep last night, I vaguely heard footsteps coming from the living room!"

Shen Qingye was shocked when he heard this: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Xu Hongxia nodded firmly. "I'm a light sleeper. I tend to wake up easily at the slightest noise at night. I remember clearly that when I was half asleep and half awake last night, I vaguely heard footsteps in the living room!"

As she spoke, her voice lowered again: "But I was really a little tired last night, and felt groggy, so I didn't think too much about it. I thought the children were hungry and thirsty and came out to find something to eat, so I didn't pay much attention and fell asleep again..."

Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, slowed down their tone, and asked her again: "What time was it at that time? Do you remember?"

"This..." Xu Hongxia shook her head in embarrassment, looking a little ashamed: "I just remember that I fell asleep and was woken up by the noise. I don't know exactly what time it was."

"I just have a vague feeling that it shouldn't be too late by then..."

"Besides the footsteps, did you hear any other noises?"

"Besides the footsteps..." Xu Hongxia racked her brains and thought hard, and suddenly said, "Oh, there is another clearer sound."

"That sound, that sound should be louder and clearer...like, like--"

Xu Hongxia said uncertainly: "It sounds like... a lighter."
