Chapter 41 Investigation 2
After the public security comrades left, the factory director and deputy director also left the union.
Colleagues in the union also started talking about it.
Jiang Xia still felt a little scared after the police officer left: "I was surprised I didn't see Chairman Feng today. I wonder if something happened."
Chen Xiaoling said worriedly, "Yes, how could he be beaten so badly? He was sent to the hospital yesterday and he hasn't woken up yet."
"No matter what, our leader is injured, and as employees we have to go and express our condolences. If you don't have anything to do today, you can go later." Wang Juan said.
Ye Qian nodded: "Sure, I'm fine."
The other two also agreed.
Everyone finished their work, left the grain factory and took the bus to the hospital.
After the three arrived at the hospital, they bought some fruits because it looked awkward for the patient to be empty-handed.
Hospital front desk.
Wang Juan walked in and asked, "Excuse me, where does the man surnamed Feng who was brought here yesterday live?"
The nurse at the front desk looked up at Wang Juan and replied, "Who are you to the patient?"
Wang Juan handed over her work ID and said, "We are from the grain factory union. This gentleman surnamed Feng is our president. I heard he was in the hospital, so I came here today to express my condolences."
The nurse at the front desk took a look at our work IDs and said, "It's in Room 208, the innermost room on the second floor. You can go directly there."
Our group of four walked to the front of the ward, opened the door, and saw President Feng lying on the bed. There was no one else around him.
Wang Juan was surprised: "Why is there no one here?"
Jiang Xia also found it strange: "This person is in the hospital, so he should be accompanied by his family."
Wang Juan nodded and said, "I remember that President Feng's parents are still alive and living with him. How come there is no one here?"
The other three shook their heads and said, "If you don't know, then we don't know even more."
Since there was no one there, the four of us didn't want to stay for long. After putting our things down, we closed the door and left the ward. During this time, President Feng was still in a coma.
I went downstairs, told the nurse at the front desk and left.
The other three went home directly, while he planned to go to a state-owned restaurant.
Now that you are out, you must eat something good.
Who knew that as soon as she entered the restaurant, she would run into a police officer who was questioning her. Ye Qian went up to him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello, police officer."
The public security comrade was a little surprised that they ran into each other again by chance. He glanced at Zhong behind the waiter and said, "You're here to eat, but it seems like you just got off work at this time."
Ye Qian smiled and said, "Yes, didn't we find out at noon today that President Feng was hospitalized? So I went to the hospital with my colleagues this afternoon to see President Feng. They all went back to eat. I live in the dormitory, and the cafeteria is crowded right now, so it's better to eat outside."
The public security officer asked, "Did you come here by bus?"
"Yes." Ye Qian smiled and said, "I'll order first."
I turned around and ordered a plate of braised pork and a steamed bun made of three-grain flour from the waiter. After paying the bill and the ticket, I found a seat and sat down.
The two police officers walked up to him and asked, "You ate at the state-owned restaurant yesterday and again today. Do you have enough meat coupons every month?"
"I don't eat out every day. How can I, a temporary worker, have so much money and tickets? I usually eat in the cafeteria when I'm not working overtime. Today I just happened to be out, and if I rush back it will be crowded, so I can eat outside." Ye Qian replied.
Ye Qian knew that the police officer's questioning was a sign of suspicion towards her, so she answered the police officer's questions calmly, thinking there shouldn't be any loopholes.
This public security comrade didn't order any food, and it was obvious that he was here to verify whether he was lying or not.
But it seems that this public security comrade just arrived and came in on his own.
The public security comrades felt that Ye Qian was very suspicious at this time, but they were not sure, so they decided to cut off the source of the problem and ask the waiter directly in front of Ye Qian.
The public security comrade asked seriously: "Waiter, we are here to work and ask some questions."
The waiter looked puzzled: "Ask."
"Excuse me, do you remember the lady sitting here now?"
The waiter nodded: "I remember, she came yesterday."
The public security comrade confirmed again: "Are you sure she came here yesterday and when?"
The waiter nodded: "I'm sure. This girl complained about why all the dishes were braised when she ordered yesterday. So I remember her."
The waiter was also complaining in his heart that he was really tired of eating braised food every day and wanted to change to something else, but the chef really only knew how to make braised dishes, so he remembered her.
Public Security Comrade: "You remembered her in just one sentence. You have such a good memory. Do you remember what time she came here?"
Waiter: "Although this girl doesn't come here often, she comes a few times a month, so I naturally remember her. I remember she came between 5:30 and 6 o'clock. There were a lot of people at the time, so I didn't pay much attention."
The public security officer asked Ye Qian, "You can go out to eat a few times a month. You're living a pretty good life."
Ye Qian nodded: "Well, I'm an orphan, and my salary is enough for me. The grain factory provides accommodation for free, and the rest of the money is used for food. I don't save any money myself."
The others were indeed stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that Ye Qian was actually an orphan.
I have never asked this question before.
As soon as she finished speaking, the dish was ready, and Ye Qian got up to bring it over.
He didn't care about other people and just started eating.
Ye Qian: You ask your questions and I eat mine. It won’t delay me. Besides, I’m not a prisoner, and you’re not stopping me from eating.
Seeing Ye Qian eating by herself, the public security comrade turned to ask the waiter: "How did you determine the time is between 5:30 and 6 o'clock? Can you give an exact number?"
Waiter: "How can I see it clearly? I can only confirm that it was between 5:30 and 6 o'clock. I was so busy at that time, how could I have been staring at the clock the whole time? I must have only checked it when I had time."
The public security officer didn't get any questions out of him, and the waiter was getting a little impatient: "Do you have any more questions? If not, I'll go back to work."
The public security comrade nodded and thanked the waiter: "Okay, thank you very much."
The public security comrade left immediately after asking questions.
One of the public security comrades said: "I still think Ye Qian is very suspicious."
Another police officer said: "Actually, if you calculate the time, it's about the same. She finished overtime at 4:30, and the cafeteria was too crowded, so she left and went to the bus station. The distance plus the waiting time for the bus meant that it would take her until around 5:30 to get to the State-owned Hotel. This time was enough to get to the crime scene, but if the crime scene was moved to the State-owned Hotel, time would be very tight. She didn't have other means of transportation, and if she waited for the bus, she might not arrive before 6:00."
The police officer said: "Now we just have to wait for the person involved to wake up quickly so that we can close the case sooner."
At this moment, Ye Qian didn't care what the two public security comrades thought. She just ate and drank.
After finishing the meal, I packed up the leftovers, put them in the space, and went straight back to the grain factory.
