On the morning of June 25

Hua Wanquan, the victim of the second case, was hit with an external blunt object at the time of the incident, and there was a wound of about 5 centimeters on the lower right side of the back of the head, and more than 10 stitches, although he regained consciousness two days after the incident, he was currently under observation and treatment in the ward on the 7th floor of the inpatient department of Shibei Hospital because of a slight concussion.

On the sixth day after the incident, early in the morning, Huang Fangyuan and Wang Xiangrui came to Shibei Hospital. The old man Hua Wanquan lives in a six-person ward. At this moment, he was lying on a hospital bed by the window on the right side, and he was accompanied by his wife, the old man Li Sufeng.

The old lady sat quietly peeling apples in a chair with her back to the window. Decades of companionship have formed a tacit understanding between the two, even if they have never spoken, as long as they sit silently like this, it is a comfort.

The sun sloped down from the window and sprinkled on the old man's body. Huang Fangyuan really couldn't bear to disturb such a peaceful and peaceful moment, but he came today with a mission - to find out how the watch was lost - he had to become a "saboteur". Huang Fangyuan slowly paced to the old man's hospital bed and cleared his throat.

Old lady Li Sufeng heard the movement and raised her head. After seeing the people who came, he immediately got up, enthusiastically gave them a seat, and handed the apple that had been peeled in his hand to Huang Fangyuan. After Huang Fangyuan pushed and gave in many times, the old lady forced the apple into his hand. Huang Fangyuan reluctantly took the apple.

On the side, Hua Wanquan, who was originally lying down, struggled to get up after seeing Huang Fangyuan's visit, but was stopped back by Wang Xiangrui. Seeing this, Huang Fangyuan introduced Wang Xiangrui to Hua Wanquan and his wife by the way. The two sides exchanged pleasantries.

The old lady was not ambiguous, and after saying hello, she casually took out an apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table, and began to peel it non-stop. While peeling, he said: "This is the apple that my youngest son brought when he visited the patient yesterday morning, and we couldn't eat it, and most of it was used to entertain those relatives and friends who came to visit Lao Wan." ”

As she spoke, the old lady looked up at Huang Fangyuan and them, with a happy smile on her face. There is nothing more gratifying for her to have her wife survived a catastrophe. Then, she lowered her head and continued to peel the apple, and continued to talk.

"Thanks to your police arriving in time, our Lao Wan's life was saved. Thank you so much. The day before yesterday, an old man who often exercised with Lao Wan came to see him and said that there was another old lady who was also broken from behind in that forest, but she was not saved. Ay...... I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing when exercising. Now many people are afraid to go to the park to exercise. ”

As she spoke, the apple in the old lady's hand was also peeled, and she handed the apple to Lao Wang. The old lady put down the fruit knife, wiped her hands on a towel hanging by the side of the bed, and continued: "I haven't poured water for you for a long time. With that, she busied herself with the glass.

Wang Xiangrui hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister, don't be busy, we have some business to do today in addition to visiting." ”

Only then did the old lady react, looked at Huang Fangyuan expectantly, and asked, "Officer Huang, did you have a clue about the murderer today?" ”

"The murderer has not been caught yet. However, I have a watch here that I want you to examine to see if it is the one you lost. As he spoke, Huang Fangyuan took out a few pieces of A4 paper from the document bag he was carrying, with several sets of photos printed on them, and in the photos were the details of various aspects and parts of a Pujiang brand watch, that is, the one confiscated from the "Xiaolin" watch store the day before. He handed the paper to Uncle Hua, "Big brother, can you see if this watch is the one you lost?" ”

Uncle Hua had a bad look in his eyes, so he took the paper and put it in the sun to look at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason. Seeing this, the old lady picked up the towel hanging by the bed again, wiped her hands, carefully took the paper from the old man's hand, and carefully flipped through it. The more she looked at it, the more excited she became, and finally exclaimed happily, "Yes, that's right, it's this watch." Great, finally found. The joy on the old lady's face was palpable.

"Are you sure?" Wang Xiangrui asked.

The old lady nodded vigorously, pointed to one of the pictures on the paper - that is the detail of the watch dial, in the picture there is a small obvious scratch on the part of the watch dial close to the strap - and said excitedly: "Here, the watch was scratched here, 2 months ago, he accompanied me to buy vegetables, and when I was picking vegetables, the buckle of the watch was loosened somehow, and the watch fell to the ground...... Well, that's what broke at that time. ”

Huang Fangyuan and Wang Xiangrui glanced at each other meaningfully, this matter was obviously different.

"Fortunately, it was found in time, otherwise the watch would have been lost at that time. To say that this watch is really destined for us, and it is really fortunate to have lost it twice and regained it. The old lady continued, "Thank you so much, comrade policeman. The watch found the words, did the murderer who beat my old man also be caught? This bastard, in the end, has no conscience, and it is too immoral to do this kind of poison to the old man for a watch. This kind of person must be told to eat a lawsuit, and it is not too much to be shot. ”

"Eldest sister, as we said before, the murderer was not caught, but this watch was found." Wang Xiangrui patiently explained.

The old lady was visibly disappointed by the answer, and the look of excitement on her face faded slightly.

Huang Fangyuan then asked: "Big brother, is your watch really snatched away by someone during your workout in the early morning of June 19?" ”

Uncle Hua's eyes began to drift, wandering and not daring to look directly at Huang Fangyuan and Wang Xiangrui.

Old lady Li Sufeng looked at Huang Fangyuan with a puzzled expression, at a loss for everything that happened in front of her, "What's going on?" The watch must have been snatched from the old man after he was knocked unconscious on the morning of the 19th. ”

Wang Xiangrui turned to the old lady and slowly explained word by word: "This watch was picked up by a fish vendor in the Beijiang vegetable market in front of his own stall on the evening of June 18. In other words, on June 19, this watch is no longer in Uncle Hua's hands. How could it have been snatched up in the early hours of that morning? ”

The old lady looked very surprised, and was stunned for a long time and only held back three words: "No, right?" ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Uncle Hua, and he became more and more anxious.

"Say, old man, what the hell is going on?" The old lady obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer, urging her wife to tell the truth.

The strong psychological pressure finally made Hua Wanquan completely collapsed, and he told the truth and the situation one by one.
