When Mu Hongquan saw the police, his legs went limp. He didn't fall down thanks to his wife who held him up with her hand. He said in a trembling voice, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
The police officer standing in front took out an arrest warrant from his briefcase and waved it in front of Mu Hongquan: "Are you Mu Hongquan? You are suspected of a poisoning case. Now please come with us to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation."
Mu Hongquan immediately denied it: "No, I didn't, comrade, did you recognize the wrong person? This is all a misunderstanding."
The police officer said coldly: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, it will become clear when we get to the police station. Let's go now."
As he was speaking, two police officers behind him stepped forward and asked Aunt Mu to step back two steps. They restrained the person on the left and right, as if they would take her away directly if she refused to cooperate.
Mu Hongquan had no choice but to follow the police and leave.
Second Aunt Mu panicked and didn't dare to stop them. She looked at the surprised eyes of the neighbors and explained calmly, "This must be a misunderstanding. Old Mu is such an honest man. How could he poison someone? You all know that Old Mu doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could he poison someone? It must be a misunderstanding."
He explained it in a confusing tone, not caring whether the neighbors believed him or not.
But in my heart, I was thinking, who should I ask for help to save Mu Hongquan? Since the police came to arrest people, they must have solid evidence.
…
Zhou Luancheng also went to the hospital after finishing his work. Because the case involved relatives and friends, he had to avoid suspicion so he could not participate in the interrogation. After giving instructions to his subordinates, he returned to the hospital to look after Mu Xiaowan.
Sheng An Ning knew that Mu Hongquan was arrested, and was still quite surprised at how quickly Zhou Luancheng and the others were able to do it: "We got evidence so quickly? If Mu Hongquan could tell us who provided the poison, and that person is still in Beijing, it would be much easier to deal with."
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "I'm not that optimistic. Mu Hongquan has no substantive evidence yet, but I can't wait any longer. I'll have someone take him back for questioning to see if I can break down his psychological defenses."
This is the fastest way now.
But it may not be effective.
Zhou Keming also prepared the medicine and prepared to give Mu Xiaowan an IV drip. As for whether it would be effective, he couldn't guarantee it and could only observe it for a night.
Sheng An Ning couldn't leave either. After waiting for the IV drip to be put on, she had to stay and watch Mu Xiaowan's changes at any time.
The drip had just been hung up when Second Aunt Mu came in with Mu Xiaowan's aunt Mu Lanying. They didn't even look at Sheng An Ning and Zhou Luan Cheng in the ward, but went straight to the bedside.
Mu Lanying cried, "Oh, what happened to this child? He was fine before, why did he suddenly get sick?"
Second Aunt Mu also cried: "That's right, he was fine before, but suddenly he became so seriously ill. If I hadn't come to the hospital before, I wouldn't have known about it."
As she spoke, she leaned over to look at Mu Xiaowan, and called out with deep affection: "Xiaowan, Xiaowan, can you hear what Second Aunt is saying? Your aunt is here to see you, too."
Zhou Luancheng wanted to step forward to stop them, but Sheng An Ning pulled him back. She wanted to see how shameless these two could be and how far they could go.
It must be because Mu Hongquan was arrested. The two wanted to come here to cry and then ask Zhou Luancheng for help.
The abacus sounds so loud that I'm afraid it can be heard even on the Great Wall.
Zhou Luancheng stared at the two of them coldly, trying to prevent them from getting too excited and doing something to hurt Xiao Wan.
Second Aunt Mu cried for a while, then turned to look at Zhou Luancheng: "Are you Xiao Wan's boyfriend? You said you were dating someone, but we didn't know. Xiao Wan's parents are gone, so we are her closest relatives."
Sheng An Ning quickly stepped over and said, "What object? Xiao Wan is my best friend, we are as close as sisters, this is my brother-in-law, I called him over to help."
But she knew how much people were against free love at the moment, and that in two years, there would be a crackdown, and if anyone in a normal relationship was seen behaving too intimately, they would be reported and charged with hooliganism.
If the case is serious, the person may be sentenced to death, but if the case is minor, the person may be sentenced to several years in prison.
She would never let Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan get caught with anything by people like Second Aunt Mu.
Second Aunt Mu obviously didn't believe it: "How is it possible? I've heard about it, and I've even seen them having dinner together."
Sheng An Ning raised her eyebrows: "Eating together means dating? You have never eaten at the same table with a man other than your man? Then what is your relationship? Are you dating too?"
Aunt Mu's face changed when she was squeezed: "You, you...I won't tell you, I'll tell him."
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Luancheng.
Sheng An Ning had no intention of backing down: "What to say to him? Xiao Wan and I have known each other for more than two years, but I have never heard that she has any relatives. She also said that she is alone and helpless. If she died suddenly, I don't know who to give the two houses to."
Mu Lanying couldn't listen any longer, so she quickly came over and interrupted, "What do you mean by that?"
Sheng An Ning's eyes passed from Second Aunt Mu's face, and landed lightly on Mu Lanying's face, and pulled the corner of her mouth: "You are Xiao Wan's aunt, and I have seen you before. You scolded Xiao Wan with all kinds of vicious words in order to get those two houses. Even if Xiao Wan is afraid of donating the house, she will never give it to you."
After a pause, he said, "Not to mention, this Second Aunt is so thoughtful and has come to the hospital several times."
Mu Lanying looked at Second Aunt Mu in surprise: "Didn't you say that you only found out about Xiao Wan's hospitalization this morning? How come you've come several times? What do you mean? Are you trying to distract me by saying that I don't know how to count?"
Second Aunt Mu quickly shook her head: "No, no, don't listen to her nonsense. I really just found out this morning. After taking a look, I immediately went back to find you."
Sheng An Ning chuckled twice: "Did you tell her that your man has been arrested for poisoning Xiao Wan?"
Mu Lanying was shocked again: "Wang Dalanzi, what do you mean? My second brother was arrested? Xiaowan is like this, did you poison her? Just for those two houses, you poisoned her, and now you want to drag me into it?"
She wanted the two houses, but she was not stupid. Her second brother and his wife were treating her like a fool. If Mu Hongquan had not been arrested, they would have poisoned Mu Xiaowan and the houses would have been in their hands, and she was still kept in the dark.
Now that Mu Hongquan has been arrested, he has asked her to come and see Xiao Wan. I'm afraid he will drag her into this with him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He pointed at Second Aunt Mu and started to curse: "Wang Da Lanzi, you and my second brother are so despicable that we could do such a dark thing. What's the matter? Now that the matter has been exposed, you want to use me as a scapegoat? Do you want to say that I was involved too? I just want to say that you are so kind and persuaded me to come to the hospital to see Xiao Wan."
Second Aunt Mu was so angry that she lost her face: "Mu Lanying, why are you pretending to be noble now? Dare you say with your conscience that you have never had any evil intentions for the house?"
