Chapter 128

I was busy in the kitchen when Zhou Yu came to knock on the door. I was a little surprised to see him when I opened the door. Since that day when we said goodbye downstairs at Du Xiao's house, the two of us hadn't interacted much, even though we lived across the door.It seems that he has been coming home late recently, and I only heard him come back from outside after eight o'clock a few times.

In a daze, Zhou Yu poked his head in and looked at the kitchen, "What are you burning? It's burnt."

My heart skipped a beat, and I left him and ran into the kitchen, the steak was still frying on the pan... It was too late to run in, the half of the steak sticking to the pan was already burnt.After hearing Zhou Yu's reminder, "Turn off the fire first."

After I turned off the stove, Zhou Yu said again: "Come with me, something happened to Mom."

I was startled, ignored his address to my mother, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"While walking on the road, I said that Mom is now at the police station."

After hearing about this, when Zhou Yu proposed to take his car, I ignored those entanglements and followed him into the car without saying a word.On the way, he told me that my mother was invited to the police station because she was helping someone to watch the store a few days ago. When the store owner came back, he found that there were few things in the store, so he listed my mother as a suspect.

I frowned and asked, "Is that shop a beauty shop?"

Zhou Yu glanced at me, "You know about this?"

Nodded, two days ago when my mother answered the phone, she said it in front of me, and told me that she would not come to my place for a few days, and she wanted to help her friend in the beauty shop to look after the shop, but she ended up looking at the shop Something went wrong, and she became a suspect without something?
When Zhou Yu stopped the car, he realized that it was not the Longmen Police Station, but the police station in the street near his home.I can't help but wonder, since it wasn't on his side, how did he know what happened to his mother?
As soon as he changed his mind, it was as if he had seen through him. He took off his seat belt and got out of the car and explained to me: "It was a colleague here who recognized your mother as my mother-in-law and called me. Immediately go to find you."

Walking into the police station, someone recognized Zhou Yu and came forward to say hello. The conversation was very familiar, which shows that he is usually very popular.A policeman named Xiaohu came and took us into the inner interrogation room. When we entered, we saw my mother arguing with a young woman who seemed to be in her thirties.

My mother saw Zhou Yu and me as soon as she turned her eyes, and immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Okay, my daughter is a lawyer, and my son-in-law is the director of the police station. Let them judge and see if I might steal your shop." stuff."

The young woman seemed to be startled, and when she turned her head, her gaze shrank, but then she said, "Sister Yu, that's not what you said, even if your daughter is a lawyer and your son-in-law is the director of the police station, it's okay It doesn't mean that you can get out of this matter. My set of health care equipment costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it is rare now when you are looking at the store. If I call the police, the police will naturally summon you for questioning, so Sister Yu It's no use arguing with me."

"I didn't want to quarrel with you. I've been trying to reason with you."

The mother's argument was obviously feeble, and it was incomparable with the eloquence of the proprietress.I was about to step forward, but Zhou Yu pulled me, and he walked over first.

"Have you cross-examined the specific situation?" Zhou Yu asked the policeman who was recording the statement.

The policeman should also know him, handed him the notebook, and after a quick glance, he raised his head and stared at the beauty shop proprietress: "There is no surveillance in your shop?" The other party choked, and had to admit: "Yes, we It is inconvenient to install and monitor the health maintenance projects.”

"Then how can you be sure that the instrument was missing after you left the store?"

"I checked the goods before I left, and when I came back to check again, one instrument was missing."

Zhou Yu: "It means that you unilaterally suspect that someone stole your equipment, but you have no evidence?"

The proprietress of the beauty shop was taken aback for a moment, but then she reacted: "I don't have any evidence, so I called the police to ask your police to investigate."

Zhou Yu stopped talking to her, looked at Xiaohu who called the policeman and said, "You handle it, let's go outside first." Then he came over and put his arm around my shoulders, and walked out the door.

The police station is his territory, even if it is not in the Longmen police station, he can still speak with his contacts.Even though I am a lawyer, I know to wait and see what happens at this time.So I walked out of the interrogation room with him and sat down in the waiting area outside the door. After a few seconds of silence, I heard him ask, "Are you tired?"

But he heard him say again after a while: "You have been pregnant for more than three months, and you will have another check-up in a week. You should pay attention not to be too tired. There is nothing to do with the special situation tonight. Wait for Mom to come out later. Ask about the specific situation."

Turning my eyes to look at him, the black eyes stared at me sharply in the meeting of eyes, and reminded me in a low voice: "You used the wrong name today."

His eyes flickered, and he looked away embarrassingly, "I'm used to it, I'll pay attention in the future."

Then the atmosphere became frozen, no one spoke, and the police on duty did not bother us.Waiting until the door of the interrogation room was opened from the inside, the policeman Xiaohu came out first, and his mother was the last one.

I got up to meet her, and suddenly saw the beauty shop proprietress turned around and said to my mother with a smile that was not a smile: "Sister Yu, I just realized that your daughter and son-in-law are so good today." The face of the person immediately became ugly.I walked over to hold my mother's arm, and when I turned to the proprietress, there was more coldness in my eyes: "Sometimes you have to leave some room for being a human being. Today, someone treats you as a friend and helped you. If you don't feel relieved, you will ask for help later." It would be difficult to help."

The face of the proprietress changed, and it was far-fetched to smile again, but she was still quibbling: "It's okay, open the door for business, whoever comes is a customer, and after a long time, we are all friends. Isn't that how Sister Yu and I became friends?" , so it’s not that much of a worry.”

The implication is that she is mostly friends, and she is not afraid that no one will help her in the future.

Mom couldn't hold back anymore: "Xiao Cheng, why do you talk like that?"

I pressed my mother's hand, signaled her to be calm, and looked at the proprietress with a half-smile and said, "My surname is Cheng, I don't know what you guys think about it, my friend." We are only on the front line with customers. If you want to use the other party, you are a friend, and if you don’t use it, you are a customer? Also, in the eyes of businessmen, they are afraid that as long as they enter the door, they will have money written on their face, so there is no such thing as a friend.”

There was a "puchi" laugh from beside me, and I turned my eyes away. It was the policeman named Xiaohu, who immediately became serious when he met my gaze.On the contrary, Zhou Yu's face was calm and indifferent, and there was no surprise in his eyes.

And the beauty shop proprietress's expression was wonderful, green and red, and anger flashed in her eyes a few times but she couldn't speak, obviously she was very angry with me.In the end, he turned his head away angrily, and quickly walked out of the police station.

Although I had the upper hand in terms of tongue, my mother was also very angry.Since I'm in the police station, I won't ask what's going on. I just listened to Xiaohu and Zhou Yu saying that they are temporarily filing a case at their police station. Since there are no cameras in the store, it is also a routine interrogation of suspects. Specifically, we need to check the outdoor road surveillance. to judge.

I listened silently for a while, and roughly learned that when the proprietress of the beauty shop returned to her hometown, there were two people who helped her look after the shop. One was naturally my mother, and the other was a partner in the nail business in her shop.Therefore, the suspects were preliminarily determined to be the two of them. According to the proprietress of the beauty shop, the probability that the person who stole the instrument was her customer was not high, because the instrument was stored in a small warehouse under the stairs, and the door was locked. Now that The lock screw was loose or even fell off.

Xiaohu added that at first he didn't know what equipment could be so expensive, but the proprietress took out the equipment she was using and found that it was the size of a kettle.

It was almost ten o'clock when I got out of the police station, and I suggested to my mother that it would be better to go to my place tonight, but she refused and insisted that she would go home to live.Seeing that it was Zhou Yu's car, he only looked up at Zhou Yu, and got in without saying anything.

When looking back, Zhou Yu comforted his mother: "Auntie, don't worry too much. The people in the police station here are very familiar with me, and they will pay special attention to this theft case. When I look back and find the surveillance video, I will know what it is. Who stole it."

My mother sat there silently, her face darkened in the dark.

When I arrived at the downstairs of the complex, I got off the car together and decided to stay here tonight. As for going to work tomorrow, I can get up early and take a taxi or bus.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said, "Then I will drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning, and I will call you when I arrive."

"No, I can take a taxi to the court by myself."

He was noncommittal, but turned his eyes and said to his mother: "Auntie, leave this matter to me."

Mom looked at him complicatedly for a while, and finally nodded.
