Chapter 55: A Piece of Glass

"Professor Cai, don't get excited, listen to me, the Ion Mountain Ancient Tomb case is still under investigation, and everything has not yet been conclusive."

"The bronzes we seized from Cai Yaohui this time are the stolen goods from the Ion Mountain Tomb, which indicates that Cai Yaohui may be involved in this case, and his confession is also reserved. Of course, I don't want him to be the murderer of this case. ”

"So I'm here to visit, hoping that the second elder can persuade your son." Zhao Zimeng sincerely expressed his intentions.

"Comrade policeman, what did my brother say?" The crowd was restless and flustered, but Cai Yaohua was very calm.

She should be a sober-minded person.

"According to Cai Yaohui, the bronze was received from a tomb robber, but he said he didn't know the person — he said the person was disguised." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Someone he doesn't know, can he take other people's things? This is not a vegetable market to buy green vegetables and tofu, this is a criminal thing! Cai Yaohua was a little puzzled.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world, my wife and I lived at No. 117, it turned out to be my home! The artifacts my son collected turned out to be stolen goods from tomb robbers. Professor Cai was shocked.

Professor Cai's doubts are exactly what Zhao Zimeng doubts.

After a moment of silence, Professor Cai let out a long sigh, and then said, "Captain Zhao, let me tell you this!" If Yaohui really did the tomb robbery and murder, you can do whatever you want, just because our old couple has never given birth to this son! ”

Professor Cai covered his eyes with trembling hands, and two lines of tears poured down from his fingers.

Although he was fierce in his words, everyone could see that he loved his son.

"However, my brother is in business in the antique market, and it is not impossible for tomb robbers to find him to sell the stolen goods." Cai Yaohua said.

"We hope so, too." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Captain Zhao, what do you want me to do?" Professor Cai wiped away the old tears, collected his emotions, and looked at Zhao Zimengdao.

"We want to verify some of the situation, and we hope that your second elder can tell the truth."

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask, we will not hide the slightest."

"If my son Yaohui really participated in the tomb robbery and murder case, how to sentence it is his own fault, I have nothing to say!"

"If he is only reselling cultural relics, I will definitely persuade him to hand over all the money he has earned from reselling cultural relics over the years to the state."

"Professor Cai, if you can have this attitude, we can rest assured." Zhao Zimeng said.

"I also want to persuade him to thoroughly confess his crimes, assist you in solving the case, and strive for leniency."

"Professor Cai is really a sensible person."

"Captain Zhao, just ask whatever you want!" Cai Yaohua said.

In the end, Cai Yaohui's family is looking forward to some turnaround.

"Professor Cai, as a son, how does Cai Yaohui treat you?"

Cai Yaohui boasted that he was a dutiful son, and Zhao Zimeng was skeptical of his words.

"Yaohui, this kid has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he is obedient to me. Except for the matter of resigning and going to sea, he never disobeyed me. Ay...... This kid ......," Professor Cai shook his head thoughtfully.

"After graduating from university, Yaohui stayed in school as a teaching assistant, which is what many people can't ask for. In the past, when I was popular in school, the leaders looked at my face and tried their best to override public opinion and let Yaohui stay in school to work. ”

Cai Yaohua saw that his mother's lips were a little dry, poured half a glass of water and handed it to his mother's hand.

Aunt Cai took the cup and took two sips and said: "Yaohui is also the person Lao Cai is looking for, who can teach and learn in the university, has a high income, and is respected, but Yaohui, this kid, he actually threw away such a good golden job." ”

"We are angry with him, his father has never shown him a good face, but he is our son, what can we do? Now he makes some money in business, but this kid sends some things every now and then, and he hasn't forgotten about me and the old man. ”

"Does he come home often?"

"Yaohui will come back every once in a while, each time, sit for a while, say a few words to me and leave."

"It's also my fault," Professor Cai reflected, "After he opened an antique shop, he wanted to sell my paintings in the shop, but I ignored him because I was angry with him." If I had promised him, he might not have gone the wrong way. ”

Since Professor Cai mentioned calligraphy and painting, Zhao Zimeng just mentioned it: "But we have seen a lot of calligraphy and painting in Cai Yaohui's antique shop. ”

"Oh...... Those calligraphy and paintings are the work of students of several painters. I've already greeted a few old friends, and if Yaohui goes to them, don't say yes to him. These young students, their eyelids are shallow! ”

"This kid is a little good, no matter what I do to him, he is not angry with me, he is not only good to our old couple, but also to his sister. Yew Wah Hospital was engaged in fund-raising to build a house, and without saying a word, he sent the money to his sister. Professor Cai praised his son.

"My dad is right, my brother is a person who knows cold and hot, what my parents lack, he always finds a way to buy it all, and he buys the best." Cai Yaohua also agrees with her brother's filial piety.

It seems that Cai Yaohui should not be lying on this point.

"In the past year, has Cai Yaohui often gone to Huaigu Village?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"In the past few years, my father's health is not very good, I was sick twice at the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year, I work in the hospital, often work overtime, I can't spare time, my eldest brother is in the field again, my second brother went to be more diligent."

"He once wanted to hire a nanny to serve the second elder, but my parents liked to be quiet and didn't want to have an outsider at home, so they didn't agree. In this way, the second brother can only run more. Cai Yaohua said.

"At the end of August and the beginning of September this year, when Professor Cai was sick and hospitalized, did Cai Yaohui return to No. 117 Huaigu Village?"

Aunt Cai recalled slightly: "Yaohui did go to the old house at No. 117. I asked him to go back, twice in total. ”

"What did you ask Cai Yaohui to do when he went back to Huaigu Village?"

"Lao Cai is sick and has no appetite, and he wants to eat my pickled sweet and sour garlic and dried radish. I asked Yaohui to go back to the old house and get these two things. ”

"Yaohua, you go to the kitchen and bring those two vegetable jars, Kelly, you go too."

Kelly's mood had calmed down a little at this time.

Cai Yaohua and Kelly stood up and walked out of the reception room.

After a while, the two walked in with a sauce-colored vegetable jar.

They put the jar on the coffee table.

Aunt Cai untied the fine hemp rope on the altar entrance, opened the paper seal, and a sour vinegar fragrance wafted out.

Zhao Zimeng and Lin Di stretched out their heads to see that there was indeed half a jar of garlic soaked in vinegar in one jar, and dried spiced radish in the other jar.

Aunt Cai continued: "In addition to taking sweet and sour garlic and dried radish, I also asked Yaohui to take some washing and changing clothes, Lao Cai lives in the hospital, I have to accompany my wife, and I need to change underwear." ”

"Mom, when you say this, I remember, I want to buy you a few underwear, you say no, there are ready-made ones at home, I have to let Yaohui go to Huaigu Village."

Aunt Cai and Cai Yaohua's words should be credible.

"Professor Cai, before you were hospitalized, did the glass in the back window of your bedroom break?"

"Captain Zhao, your investigation is really meticulous. You're right, before I was hospitalized, there was a piece of glass in the back window that was really broken. ”

"Who put it on you?"

"It's Xiao Rao. It was Rao who lived in my house, and he saw that there was a piece of glass missing from the back window of my bedroom, so he took a piece of glass from Mr. Cao's house and installed it. ”

This is consistent with Cao Runan's statement.

"Professor Cai, are you sure that only one piece of glass on the back window of the bedroom is broken?"

"yes, I remember a piece of glass was broken."

"That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

Cai Yaohui said that he installed the glass.

"Did Yaohui put it on? I was a little confused, that piece of glass was obviously installed by Xiao Rao - I watched Xiao Rao install it with my own eyes, and I also took a hand on the side. ”

"Professor Cai, did you ask Mr. Cao next door to help you open and close the windows during your hospitalization?"

"There's such a thing. There was no one at home, and in case it rained, I was afraid that the paintings in the studio would suffer, so I asked Lao Cao to help me open and close the windows regularly. ”

"When Mr. Cao went to your house to close the window, he saw your son Cai Yaohui, he saw Cai Yaohui coming from the back of the house, holding a hammer in his hand, he said that there was a piece of glass broken on the back window of your house, so he went to the hardware store to mark a piece of glass and put it on."

"Xiao Rao just installed the glass, and when I left, my wife specially checked all the windows, and the windows were obviously good. What the hell is going on here? Professor Cai was puzzled.

"Mom and Dad, could it be that after you left the house, the window glass broke again?" Cai Yaohua said.

"How is this possible? If no one touches it, how can the glass itself break? The fence of our house is so high that no matter how strong the wind is, it can't blow into the yard, and when I left, I plugged in all the latches, even if the wind can blow into the yard, it can't break the glass! Aunt Cai said.

Yaohui didn't mention it. But it's not me who protects my own children! Before Xiao Rao moved here, every time Yaohui came, as long as he saw that the wires were aging and the glass of the windows was broken, he would do it himself. Maybe he saw that the glass was broken, and then installed another piece of glass? Aunt Cai defended her son.

"Captain Zhao, have you been to the hardware store and asked? Maybe the shopkeeper can remember this. In Huaigu Village, there is only one hardware store, and Yaohui can only go to his house to scratch glass. Professor Cai said.

"We were going to check it out. Do you have a recent photo of Choi Yiu-fai? ”

"Yes." Aunt Cai said.

"We want to borrow it."

"Yaohua, go to my mother's room, in the first drawer of the half-cut cupboard, and bring the two albums."

Cai Yaohua got up and walked into the main house.

After a while, Cai Yaohua neatly walked into the reception room with two photo albums.
