As soon as he got home, Lu Yuan shouted.
"Honey, is there anything to eat? Get some for me and He Zhiqing?"
He Shenghua was so shocked by the sound that his head was buzzing.
If he had any strength at all, he would never have let this guy bring him to the Lu family.
How embarrassing! So embarrassing!
I'm filled with regret right now. Why did I have to argue with that scoundrel on the way back?
She's not a child, yet she ran alongside him the whole way.
The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt.
Wen Moxue came out of the house and saw He Shenghua, who was being helped by Lu Yuan, with a flushed face. She thought he was sick.
"Is He Zhiqing running a fever?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and laughed.
“No, wife, He Zhiqing doesn’t have a fever, she’s just hungry. Quickly get her something to eat.”
Wen Moxue entered the house with some skepticism. Would a person blush when they're hungry?
She took out the chive pancakes she hadn't finished eating at noon.
"You guys have something to eat first, I'll go cook some noodles."
There was only enough pancake for Lu Yuan; two grown men definitely wouldn't be enough.
He Shenghua clearly noticed this situation and felt even more guilty.
Since we were already there, we could only accept their kindness for now and pay them back later.
"Thanks!"
Wen Moxue waved her hand, "You're welcome."
Before the two had finished eating their pancakes, Wen Moxue brought out two more bowls of water.
"Have some water."
The two had been running all the way and were quite thirsty.
I took the water and gulped it down in two quick gulps.
Lu Yuan wiped his mouth, grinning with his white teeth.
"Wife, this water is so sweet."
He Shenghua originally thought the water was very sweet, but now he only felt his teeth ached.
Wen Moxue silently rolled her eyes. She realized that Lu Yuan liked to call his wife in front of outsiders.
Taking the bowl, she said, "Wait a little longer, the noodles will be ready soon."
"Thanks!"
He Shenghua seemed to say nothing but thank you.
After eating a pancake and drinking a bowl of water, I regained a lot of strength.
He Shenghua looked at Lu Yuan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Seeing that he had something to say, Lu Yuan couldn't stand his dawdling and said directly,
"Speak your mind, or shut up."
He Shenghua, who was about to express his gratitude, suddenly choked, rolled his eyes, and lost all desire to speak properly.
"Hehe, you also want to say thank you to me, right?"
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Lu Yuan exposed him directly.
Then, in a very serious tone, he replied, "You're welcome."
He Shenghua died speechless.
I've never seen such a shameless person.
No wonder he's a thug!
Wen Moxue quickly cooked the noodles and fried two eggs.
The two of them ate to their heart's content.
Wen Moxue was about to wash the dishes when Lu Yuan stopped her.
"Honey, let me wash you, you rest."
Wen Moxue refused, saying, "I'll wash the two bowls. You go to the brigade leader's house; the police want to ask you about the situation."
Hearing that there was important business to attend to, Lu Yuan didn't delay.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Watching the two interact harmoniously, He Shenghua followed them with mixed feelings.
He didn't know anything about the case, so he didn't go to the brigade leader's house to join in the fun; instead, he went to work.
When Lu Yuan arrived at the brigade leader's house, he did not encounter any police officers.
Hearing that he had gone to an abandoned house, he went there again.
Xu Dong, along with Captain Sun Changsheng and Sun Ziqiang, accompanied two police officers to inspect the scene.
Upon seeing him approach, Sun Changsheng quickly introduced him to the two police officers.
"This is Lu Yuan."
"Hello, Comrade Lu. We are police officers from the commune police station. My name is Song Minghao."
After saying that, he pointed to his colleague next to him, "This is Han Wenzhao."
Lu Yuan reached out and shook hands with the two police officers, "Officer Song, Officer Han, hello!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's generous and humble attitude, the two exchanged a glance without making a sound.
This person was completely different from the one they had heard about from the captain.
This kind of grandeur is not something a village thug should have.
"Comrade Lu, we heard that you witnessed Grandpa Liu being injured. Could you tell us about what happened?"
"Can."
Lu Yuan nodded and recounted the situation in detail.
After listening attentively to the two police officers, Han Wenzhao asked, "Besides these, is there anything else to add?"
Lu Yuan thought about it carefully again before shaking his head.
Han Wenzhao then asked, "Why did you run up the mountain instead of going to work during working hours?"
Lu Yuan replied, "My mother died early, and my father remarried. We often went hungry, so we liked to go up the mountain to find something to eat..."
"cough--"
Sun Changsheng coughed lightly, reminding him, "Lu Yuan, don't go off on a tangent. Answer the police's questions truthfully."
Lu Yuandao said, "I'm just answering the police's questions."
He continued, "I go up the mountain almost every day, I'm used to it. I just got married, and I wanted to go into the mountains to find some food for my wife."
Sun Changsheng's face twitched. Why not just answer the last sentence? Why all that nonsense before?
The two police officers didn't say anything, they just took notes carefully.
Sun Ziqiang couldn't hold back any longer.
"Lu Yuan, I think you're just talking nonsense. Everyone except you was at work this morning. You probably killed Grandpa Liu."
Lu Yuan looked at him speechlessly.
"First, what was my motive for hurting Grandpa Liu?"
"Secondly, Grandpa Liu isn't dead yet, so how can you say he was killed?"
"Grandpa Liu isn't dead?"
Before the police could say anything, Sun Changsheng asked in astonishment.
Lu Yuan looked at him suspiciously. Why was he so surprised that Grandpa Liu wasn't dead?
