It was seven o 'clock in the evening, and the sky had just turned dark.
Outside the main entrance of the Petroleum Second Division, Doudou Restaurant.
"Bro, are you still planning to continue your business?" The cricket catcher asked a middle-aged man who was cutting meat.
The cricket catcher's name was Zhao Ziyue, and he was only nineteen years old. The middle-aged man who was cutting meat was the current owner of Doudou Restaurant, Xiao Ding, who was Old Ding's son.
Zhao Yu stood behind Zhao Ziyue and observed the situation carefully.
"Of course! Are you going to beg? You have to rely on this small restaurant to make a living! " The middle-aged man smiled honestly. "Don't worry, I've been working here for more than ten years, and I've learned everything from the old man! Hehehe … "
"Mm … This is a police officer. He has something to ask you!" Then, Zhao Ziyue pointed at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu immediately took out his police badge and showed it to him. He asked, "I'm here to ask you about the murder case that happened ten years ago in the second department's apartment!"
Bada …
Just as Zhao Yu said this, there was an unexpected noise coming from inside the Doudou Restaurant.
Zhao Yu squinted and saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron drop a lamb skewer that she had just put on the ground!
"Tsk tsk …" The boss, Xiao Ding, suddenly put on a serious face and shouted, "This woman, can't you be more careful? How rash and impatient! Outrageous! Hurry up and wash it in the water pipe … "
"Oh … Oh …" The woman quickly picked up the skewer and ran to the water pipe at the back to wash it.
After working as a police officer for so long, Zhao Yu's observation skills were self-evident. He had already noticed this woman before. She was calm and composed, and she was even humming a song while skewering!
But when he mentioned the apartment murder case, she suddenly became flustered, and even dropped the skewer on the ground!
Hey?
Could it be that … this woman … knows something?
"Police officer, I'm sorry, my wife!" The boss said casually. "What did you ask just now? What murder case? Oh … "He thought for a moment, then quickly said," Is it about the dead woman? Cough! Let's not talk about it. At that time, our family didn't have much business for a month. My dad was worried sick! What's wrong? "
"I've seen the records. There was a testimony from your grandpa. He said that this person …" Then, Zhao Yu showed him Lan Shuping's photo. "This person is the suspect. Your grandpa said that this person drank at your restaurant from seven o 'clock to twelve o' clock. Now, I want to ask, do you know anything about this?"
"Is that so? I really don't know! " The boss answered without hesitation, "To tell you the truth, police officer, when the murder happened, I was having a little bit of a fight with my father, so I wasn't at the restaurant! No one has mentioned this to me before! But … wait a minute, my wife was there! She's been here longer than me … My wife, my wife … "
Then, the boss turned around and shouted into the house, "Wife, come here, the police officer is asking you something!"
"Oh …" The woman put the cleaned lamb skewers on the fridge and wiped her hands on her apron. Then, she walked out in a panic. She didn't even dare to lift her head as she asked, "What … What's the matter?"
"Sh * t, look at you. Why are you trembling?" The boss also noticed that his wife was acting weird, so he quickly said, "Nothing, the police officer is just asking you something!"
Zhao Yu repeated what he had just said, and the woman quickly replied, "I … I don't remember!"
"Sh * t!" At this time, not only Zhao Yu, but even Zhao Ziyue saw the problem and asked, "Sis? That's a murder case! Even a child like me remembers it clearly, and the suspect appeared at your restaurant. How could you forget? "
"Yeah, why are you so nervous?" The boss shouted, "It's not like you killed her! Hurry up, we have to make dumplings later! "
"I … I really can't remember!" The lady boss stammered, "At that time, it was the old man who was talking. How could I remember?"
Zhao Yu stared at the lady boss and observed her carefully, while he thought to himself, This woman obviously has something on her mind, and it's most likely related to the murder case. Could it be … Liu Jiao's murder is related to this restaurant?
"Sigh!" Thinking about this, Zhao Yu let out a long sigh and played his best trick. He quickly held his phone and said to the lady boss, "Sis, I might as well explain to you! There's a new situation in the case that year. Now, the police suspect that the person on my phone is the real murderer! So, the statement that your family gave is very important, so I have to confirm it with you! "
"I'm telling you, this is a matter of life and death. If you don't report what you know, you will have to bear legal responsibility! If this person is the real murderer, then your family gave a false statement, and you will have to go to jail! "
"Huh?!" The lady boss was already panicking, but after being scared by Zhao Yu, she suddenly became listless. She quickly clenched her fists and bowed to Zhao Yu, "Police officer, this has nothing to do with me! It's … It's all my father-in-law … My old man … "
"What?!" Hearing the lady boss's words, Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat. Holy sh * t, what's going on? Could it be … That the case has been solved?
"Huh?!" The boss, Xiao Ding, was shocked. He put down the kitchen knife and asked loudly, "My dad … What happened to him?"
"Aiya!" The lady boss said with a sad face, "Your dad is forgetful, don't you know? Although it was ten years ago, there were already symptoms then! When he was cooking, he often forgot to put it aside. If I didn't remind him, our restaurant would have been ruined, you know? "
"Daughter-in-law …" The boss was stunned. He shook his head and asked, "Daughter-in-law, we are talking about a murder case. Why did you mention that my dad is forgetful?"
"Aiya!" The lady boss jumped and said to Zhao Yu, "Police officer, the person in your phone did drink at my place that night! He ordered a small cold dish, grilled ten lamb skewers, and drank almost a box of beer! He can really drink! "
"This … Sis, can we get to the point?" Zhao Yu was also anxious.
"The third day after the death, the police came to ask us," the lady boss said. "They asked if the person in your phone was drinking at our place. In the end, my father-in-law told them that the person had been drinking at our place from seven to twelve. But in reality … it wasn't like that! "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Then what was it?"
"The person in the photo came at seven thirty, and he was alone!" The lady boss recalled, "But, when he was eating at nine o 'clock, he paid the bill and left! It was nineteen yuan in total, and I took the money! "
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was shocked again.
"But, not long after, he appeared out of nowhere again, sat at the original table, and ordered food and beer again! After a while, another man came, and the two of them drank together. They drank until midnight! When they left, the two of them left with an S on their hands. I was even worried that they wouldn't be able to return home! "
"Aiya, this … you can't blame my dad!" The boss, Xiao Ding, said. "My dad's memory isn't good. Then, the person left and came back. My dad couldn't remember, right?"
"Hey, you can't say that, right?" Zhao Ziyue shook his head. "If you can't remember, just say that you can't remember! If you say that, won't you mislead the police? What if that person is the murderer? "
