When Zhou Yu came to knock on the door, I was busy in the kitchen, and he was slightly surprised to see when I opened the door, and the two of them hadn't intersected much since they said goodbye downstairs to Du Xiao's house that day, even if they lived door-to-door. It seems that he has been returning late lately, and there have been a few times when I heard him coming back from outside after eight o'clock.

I saw Zhou Yu come in and look at the kitchen, "What are you burning?" Scorched. ”

I groaned and left him and ran to the kitchen, where the steak was still frying...... It was too late to run in, and the half of the steak was already burned. I heard Zhou Yu reminding him: "Turn off the fire first." ”

When I turned off the fire, Zhou Yu said again: "Come with me, something happened to my mother." ”

I was shocked, ignored his name for my mother, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"As I walked on the road, I said that my mother is now at the police station."

After hearing this, when Zhou Yu proposed to take his car over, I couldn't care about those entanglements, and followed him into the car without saying a word. On the way, he told me that my mother was now invited to the police station because she was helping people look at the store a few days ago, and when the owner came back, he found that there was something missing in the store, so he listed my mother as a suspect.

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

Zhou Yu glanced at me, "Do you know this?" ”

nodded, two days ago, when my mother answered the phone, she said it in front of me, and told me that she wouldn't come to my side in the past few days, and she wanted to help her friend in the beauty shop look at the store, but the store saw that the problem was coming, and she became a suspect if she was missing something?

When Zhou Yu stopped the car, he found that it was not at the Longmen Police Station, but the police station on the street near his home. I can't help but wonder how he knew that something happened to his mother since it wasn't on his side?

As soon as his mind turned, as if he had gained an insight, he unfastened 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, and I went to look for you immediately after I knew it." ”

When I walked into the police station, I saw someone who recognized Zhou Yu and came up to say hello, and he was very familiar with the conversation, which showed that he was usually very popular. A policeman named Xiaohu came and took us into the interrogation room, where we saw my mother arguing with a young woman who looked to be in her thirties.

As soon as my mother blinked her eyes, she saw me and Zhou Yu, 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 come to evaluate and see if it is possible for me to steal something from your store." ”

The young woman seemed to be startled, and her eyes shrank when she turned her head, 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 doesn't mean that you can get out of this matter." My set of health equipment costs 10,000 yuan, and now it is less during your visit to the store, I called the police, and the police naturally wanted to summon you to interrogate, so Sister Yu, it is useless for you to quarrel with me. ”

"I didn't want to quarrel with you, I was reasoning with you all the time."

The mother's argument was obviously pale and weak, and could not be compared with the eloquence of the proprietress . I was about to step forward, but I was pulled by Zhou Yu, and he walked over first.

"Have you been cross-examined clearly?" Zhou Yu asked the police who were recording the confession.

The policeman should also know him, handed him the transcript, and after a quick glance, he looked up at the beauty shop proprietress and said, "There is no monitoring in your store?" The other party choked and had to admit: "Yes, the health care project we do is not convenient to install monitoring." ”

"And how do you make sure that instrument is missing after you left the store?"

"I checked the goods before I left, and when I came back, I was missing an instrument."

Zhou Yu: "It means that you unilaterally suspect that someone stole your instrument, but there is no evidence?" ”

The proprietress of the beauty shop was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again: "I have no evidence in my hand, so I called the police to find your police to investigate." ”

Zhou Yu stopped talking to her, looked at Xiaohu who called the police and said, "You can deal with it, let's go outside first." With that, he walked 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 speak with his connections. Even if I'm a lawyer, I know to wait and see what happens. So after walking out of the interrogation room with him, he sat down in the waiting area outside the door, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Are you tired?" I was stunned, I didn't react to this question, I only subconsciously shook my head.

But after listening to him after a while, he said: "You have been pregnant for more than three months, and you will have a prenatal checkup in a week, so you should pay attention not to be too tired." There is no way to do it tonight, so I will wait for my mother to come out and ask about the specific situation. ”

Turning his eyes to look at him, his dark eyes stared at me in the meeting of his eyes, and reminded me in a flat voice: "You used the wrong name today." ”

His eyes flashed, and he looked away curtly, "Get used to it, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

Then the atmosphere became frozen, no one spoke, and the police on duty did not come to disturb us. waited until the door of the interrogation room opened from the inside, and the Xiaohu police walked out first, and the mother walked at the back.

I got up to meet him, and suddenly saw the proprietress of the beauty shop turn around and say to my mother with a smile: "Sister Yu, I only know today that your daughter and son-in-law are so powerful." This was obviously mocking, and my mother was a face-saving person, and her face immediately became ugly. I walked over and grabbed my mother's arm, and when I turned my eyes to the boss, there was more coldness in my eyes: "Sometimes you have to leave room for being a man, and today others have helped you as a friend, if you are not at ease, it will be difficult to ask for help in the future." ”

The proprietress changed her complexion, and it was far-fetched to laugh again, but she was still quibbling in her mouth: "It's okay, open the door to do business, those who come are guests, and they are all friends after a long time." That's how I got along with Sister Yu, so I don't have so many worries. ”

The implication is that she has a lot of friends and is not afraid that no one will help her in the future.

Mom couldn't hold her breath: "Xiao Cheng, why are you talking like that?" ”

I pressed my mother's hand, signaled her to be calm, pursed the corners of my lips and looked at the proprietress with a smile and said: "The surname is Cheng, I don't know what you business people think, friends and customers are only on the first line, if you want to use each other, you are friends, and if you don't use it, you are customers?" Also, in the eyes of businessmen, they are afraid that as long as money is written on their faces when they enter the door, what kind of friends can they talk about. ”

There was a "poof" laugh around me, and I turned my eyes, it was the policeman named Xiaohu, and he immediately became serious when he met my gaze. On the contrary, it was Zhou Yu, whose face was calm and indifferent, and there was no surprise in his eyes.

And the look of the proprietress of the beauty shop was wonderful, green and red for a while, and anger flashed in her eyes several times but she opened her mouth to speak, obviously angry with me. In the end, he turned his head angrily and walked out of the door of the police station quickly.

Although I had the upper hand on my tongue, my mother was also very angry. Because I was in the police station, I didn't ask what the situation was, I just listened to Xiaohu and Zhou Yu talk about the temporary filing of a case at their police station, based on the fact that there is no camera in the store, it is also a suspicious person under the routine investigation, and the specific situation can only be judged by checking the outdoor road surveillance.

I listened silently for a while, and roughly learned that during the time when the beauty shop proprietress returned to her hometown, there were two people who had helped her look after the shop, one was naturally her mother, and the other was a partner in the nail business in her shop. According to the beauty shop proprietor, the probability that the person who stole the device was her customer was not high, because the instrument was placed in a small warehouse under the stairs, and the door was locked, and now the screw of the lock is loose or even falling off.

Xiaohu said again, at first I didn't know what instrument could be so expensive, but the proprietress took out the instrument in use and took a look, and it was the size of a kettle, saying that it could treat many items such as shoulder and neck, headache, and meridian blockage.

When I came out of the police station, it was almost ten o'clock, 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 and live. Seeing that it was Zhou Yu's car, he only looked up at Zhou Yu, and got into it without saying anything.

When looking back, Zhou Yu comforted her mother: "Auntie, don't worry too much, several people from the police station here are very familiar with me, and they will pay special attention to this theft case." When I went back and waited for the surveillance video to find out, I found out who stole the thing. ”

My mother sat there silent, her face very heavy in the dark.

When I arrived downstairs in the community, I also got off the bus together, and decided to stay here tonight, as for tomorrow's work, I can get up early to take a taxi or bus.

Zhou Yu sighed after hearing this, and said, "Then I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning, and I'll call you when it's time." ”

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

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

The old mother looked at him with complicated eyes for a while, and finally nodded.
