Zhu Zhong's three apprentices are all young people in the village, and they each go back to their own homes after work.

Zhu Zhong's eldest apprentice, equivalent to the second chef, is Huang Zhigao, the son of Huang Li's cousin.

Huang Zhigao is clever and intelligent, and he is quite talented in cooking.

Huang Zhigao said that he is the second chef in the restaurant, and since he can be in charge alone, unless the business is too good to be busy, the boss Zhu Zhong usually does not cook.

Every day, when the last table of the restaurant is gone, his day's work is over, and the rest of the staff meals and cleaning up the kitchen are the business of the two apprentices.

It stands to reason that after the restaurant closes, the two apprentices who are in charge of chores will close the valve of the gas tank.

Even if it is true that the fire is caused by a gas leak caused by a rat biting off the gas pipe, as the police have investigated, the prerequisite is that the valve of the gas tank is open.

As for what happened that night, we had to ask the two apprentices.

Huang Zhigao was married at the time, his home was not far from Zhu Zhong's home, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and was still in confinement. His daughter-in-law said that that night, after Huang Zhigao returned home, he coaxed the child to sleep for most of the night.

Finally, after the child fell asleep, he just squinted, and heard a commotion outside talking about the fire.

Huang Zhigao didn't care about anything else, and immediately went downstairs to join the firefighting team.

The two apprentices, both seventeen or eighteen years old at the time,

Adian and Amin.

Both of them are children in the village, and they usually don't have anything to do at home, so their parents want their children to learn a trade.

Adian, full name Huang Zhidian. Ah Ming, full name Huang Zhiming.

The two of them live in the village, and there is still some distance from Zhu Zhong's house.

According to the two people, after the business is closed every day, the two people take turns to clean up the things in the kitchen.

That night, it was Adian's turn to clean up.

Dian said he didn't turn off the gas that night because the boss was stewing chicken soup on the stove.

During that time, Zhu Zhong's eldest daughter was in the graduating class, and it was a time when she was nervous about studying, and this soup was a nutritious soup stewed for her eldest daughter.

If what Adian said is true, then it is entirely possible that Zhu Zhong forgot to turn off the fire when he was stewing the soup, or turned off the fire, but did not turn off the gas valve, which led to the fire later.

So is what Dian is telling the truth? The waiter Xiaoqing proved that what Adian said was true.

Before getting off work, she heard the proprietress Huang Li shout, which was said to the boss, asking the boss to stew the chicken soup in advance, and get up the next morning to heat it up for her daughter to drink before going to school.

Zhu Zhong's parents in his hometown are still alive, and he is not homeless.

When he learned that the police reported that Zhu Zhong was carrying two murders on his back, Huang Ah Shan and none of the neighbors in the village believed it.

Everyone thinks that Zhu Zhong is such a hardworking and simple person, how can he be a murderer?

Another reason why it was finally determined that Zhu Zhong was the murderer of He Zhinian and Zhu Mei was because of a fingerprint, a fingerprint collected by the police on the edge of the bedroom drawer on the first floor of the crime scene of the He family's small building.

Although Zhu Zhong's body was charred, the fist of his right hand was in the shape of a clenched fist, and some skin remained on the fingertips, and vague lines could be seen.

This fingerprint was 95 percent consistent with the remaining fingerprint of Zhu Zhong's right hand. Eighth Library

There are also a number of witnesses who testified that Zhu Zhong did confide in him after drinking that year, and that he was related to the murder of the two people in the He family.

Based on various clues, the Miancheng police finally determined that Zhu Zhong was the murderer of He Zhinian and Zhu Mei back then.

………………

After the car turned around the periphery of Xinhu Park a few times, Xiao Mo never found where the current Nancuo Village was.

The pace of development in Chunyang City in recent years can be said to be changing with each passing day, and the ordinary small fishing village no longer exists.

Xiao Mo vaguely remembered that Nancuo Village should be near Xinhu Park.

But now, the area to the south is already full of high-rise buildings, and the price per square meter of the sea-view house facing the sea is close to six figures.

Who would have thought that the small fishing village of that year has now been replaced by high-end residential areas.

Nancuo Village has withdrawn from the stage of history, but the nearby Lanhai Village is still there.

In the village at the other exit of Xinhu Park, Xiao Mo became attached to the village chief Chen Xing in Qiao An's case, and the case of Zhu Jianjun's disappearance not long ago was dealt with again with the village chief Chen.

After turning around the Huanhai Highway in front of Xinhu Park for a few times, Xiao Mo couldn't find the direction for a while, and with a blow of the steering wheel, he turned into Lanhai Village, and met Chen Xing at the village committee at the head of the village.

Although it is said that Lanhai Village and Nancuo Village were separated by a large area of tidal flats in the middle of the year.

But Village Chief Chen still remembers very clearly the incident that Zhu Zhong's family of four died in the fire that year.

He said: "After all, it was a major event with four lives, and it was difficult for people not to remember it." ”

Although the village chief didn't know much about Zhu Zhong, a foreign son-in-law, Zhu Zhong's restaurant was well-known in Nancuo Village and Lanhai Village at that time.

Zhu Zhong's apprentice Huang Zhigao, Village Chief Chen is familiar with.

Because Huang Zhigao's daughter-in-law Chen Haiyan happens to be the daughter of Lanhai Village.

Speaking of Huang Zhigao, Village Chief Chen gave a thumbs up. It is said that after the demolition of Nancuo Village, the villagers of Nancuo Village, who were so poor in the past, made a lot of money, and all of them were nouveau riche demolition.

But a few years have passed, and there are not many people who really keep their wealth, and this Huang Zhigao not only keeps his wealth, but also does a prosperous career.

A well-known restaurant brand chain in Chunyang City, the founder of Big Bowl Cuisine is this Huang Zhigao.

Of course Xiao Mo knew about the big bowl of dishes, but he really didn't know that the boss behind the big bowl of dishes was Huang Zhigao, Zhu Zhong's apprentice back then.

In a high-end office building in Chunyang City, Xiao Mo met Huang Zhigao, the owner of a large bowl of dishes.

In just a few years, Huang Zhigao has really changed a lot, compared with the chef who was full of the smell of oil smoke in the back kitchen.

Today's Huang Zhigao is in a suit and leather shoes, and the big boss is full of style among his gestures.

Huang Zhigao is very talkative, and he is very satisfied with the catering brand he has created.

He said, "Officer, am I short of money?" I don't lack it, and when it was demolished, my family's old house lost tens of millions. But I always feel that people must have a pursuit to live in the world. I like stir-frying, the master led me into the door, I don't make some fame, I'm sorry for my master's cultivation. ”

At the end of his words, with a hint of choking, he didn't know what to say about Zhu Zhongxiaomo, he was a little fucked up when he was young. If the deaths of He's father and mother were really his doing, Xiao Mo didn't just hate him.

But for Zhu Zhongshou's apprentice, between words and deeds, in Xiao Mo's opinion, he is a man with affection and righteousness.
