Chapter 181: After the fire
Cen Man was nearby, and after knowing the news, he hurried to the Huo family's old house.
She saw the smoke billowing from the entire Huo house, and the people of the Huo family rushed to actively put out the fire, they said that Mrs. Huo was still trapped in the hall, and the road into the living room had been blocked by raging flames, and no one dared to enter.
At the beginning, it was because the old man Huo loved to be clean, and he built the Huo family's old house in the suburbs far away from the city, and the fire truck couldn't get there for a while.
But if Mrs. Huo is not rescued again, I am afraid that even if the fire does not burn, she will be suffocated by the smoke produced, and if Mrs. Huo has three sheets and two shorts, Huo Li will definitely ...... in her heart
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger again, Cen Man didn't have time to think about it anymore, she took a quilt and covered her mouth and nose and rushed in.
Not only was there flames everywhere in the living room, but the temperature suddenly felt extremely high, and there was also thick smoke billowing so that Cen Man couldn't see anything clearly, she called Mrs. Huo's name, but no one answered.
Finally, Cen Man saw Mrs. Huo lying on the sofa, she nervously put her hand under her nose to test it, fortunately Mrs. Huo still had a snort.
Cen Man breathed a sigh of relief, helped Mrs. Huo and tried to carry her on her back, when she was about to leave, Cen Man's face felt hot, the quilt draped on her body had been dried and slightly hot, she found that all sides were occupied by tongues of fire, and there was no way out.
Just when she was at a loss, she seemed to hear someone calling for her, and when the sound became louder and louder, Cen Man knew that someone was coming to save herself, she picked up the teacup on the table and slammed on the sofa to make a sound to attract the attention of the rescue.
A few seconds in the fire were as slow and difficult as hours, and when Cen Man couldn't hold on, she saw Huo Li in the firelight, and he took the flamethrower and drove a way.
Huo Li asked Cen Man to put on his wet quilt, and then the two of them set up Mrs. Huo together and fled outside.
Mrs. Huo was immediately taken to the hospital, and the fire in Huo's house was extinguished a few hours later.
In this fire, the main rooms of the Huo family's old mansion, such as the living room, and the master bedroom built decades ago, have been burned down, and the other places are also miserable with smoke.
Mrs. Huo had more than 30 percent burns all over her body, and she was unconscious due to inhaling too much smoke, and she was being rescued, and the doctor also told Huo Li that her lungs and trachea were severely burned, and it was difficult for her to speak even after waking up.
Huo Li also burned his arm because he didn't pay attention when he went in to save people.
In the hospital, Cen Man looked at Huo Li worriedly, he didn't say a word, just stood outside the ward of the ICU and looked at Mrs. Huo, who was wrapped in bandages and full of tubes, and didn't move a single step.
As the eldest lady of the family and the wife of the Huo family later, her mother has always been pampered and has never suffered a little, but now she has become what she is now, how can she face the unbearable pain and long recovery period of ordinary people after waking up.
Huo Li, who had always been calm, thought of this, and couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore, raised his arm and threw it against the wall, but at the moment when his arm hit the wall, he found that it hit Cen Man.
Although it didn't hit the wall, Huo Li's injured arm still oozed blood all of a sudden, and he squatted down in pain, Cen Man couldn't care about his pain, and hurriedly squatted down to check his torn wound.
Huo Li stopped Cen Man's inspection, at this time he saw such a mother, sadly buried his head in Cen Man's arms and silently wept, Cen Man could only hold him gently, and slowly patted him on the back like a comforting child to calm him down.
Seeing this, the doctor on the side also sighed and comforted: "Your mother is stable now, and you need Mr. Huo to cheer up, and you will need long-term patient companionship and careful care from your family in the future, after all, it is not easy to pick up a life in this situation." ”
Huo Li decided to hand over the Huo family to Cen Man for the time being, and take care of Mrs. Huo himself.
During this time, Cen Man was busy with work in the company during the day, and she often came to accompany her at night, and the overload of pressure made her tired.
Once I happened to meet Huang Ailin, and when I saw that her mental state was extremely poor, I kindly proposed to come to the hospital to take care of Mrs. Huo instead of her:
"Sister Xiaoman, don't get me wrong, you saved me in Zhangjiajie before, and I should help at this time."
Cen Man couldn't shirk it, so he could only express his gratitude.
On this day, Huang Ailin came to Mrs. Huo's hospital room with fruits, and saw Huo Li lying on the sofa asleep, she tiptoed over to help him cover him with a blanket.
After Huo Li woke up, he found Huang Ailin sitting beside him, handing him the cut fruit, he didn't pick it up and asked, "Why are you, Vine?" ”
Huang Ailin withdrew his hand in a daze, afraid that he would make him unhappy, so he said cautiously: "Sister Xiaoman, she is too tired to persuade her to go back to rest, I just help her come to see you." ”
"You better go back, there are the best nurses here, only I'm not worried about staying here." Realizing that his tone was a little unfriendly, Huo Li hesitated for a moment and explained, and never spoke again.
"I promised Sister Xiaoman, stay here tonight, if you have any opinions, you should not be able to see me." Huang Ailin stayed in silence until the morning before leaving.
Huo Li, who was in the hospital the next day, was summoned to the police station, "Mr. Huo, this is the investigation report of this fire, please take a look." ”
"In addition, we would like to ask, how is the relationship between your wife and Mrs. Huo?"
Huo Li didn't answer, but stared at the little policeman who asked the question, and the little policeman was stared at a little hairy and hurriedly said: "That's the case, Mr. Huo, the maid who first found out that Huo's house was on fire said that she ran into a woman who looked like your wife and fled from the scene of the crime. ”
"Something like it has to be?"
"Of course not, but we asked your wife, she didn't have a sufficient alibi that day, and according to the investigation in the past few days, your mother and your wife did not have a good relationship, and there was a time when there was a trouble with the Disabled Persons' Federation, and Mrs. Huo was also detained at this time, am I right?"
"So your wife is motivated." The little policeman said this directly, he was a little unhappy about Huo Li's non-cooperation, and muttered that this rich man just likes to put on a show.
"I believe my wife, if there is no other evidence, I will go first." Huo Li ignored the dissatisfaction of the little policeman, got up and was about to leave.
"Mr. Huo, please stay, take a good look, is this your wife's thing, it was found at the scene of the fire." The little policeman took out a photo and put it in front of Huo Li.
Huo Li's face was still expressionless, but his pupils were inadvertently dilated, and he saw the diamond swan brooch he had given Cen Man before.
The little policeman, however, noticed a slight change in him, and said with some mockery: "The fire started from the living room, and most of the things in it were reduced to ashes, and we found this brooch in the wreckage of the sofa, and we suspect that the arsonist accidentally left it." As far as we know, this was auctioned by you, and Mr. Huo didn't give it to his wife, so which lover did it give it to? ”
"I gave it to my mother, can't I?" He ignored the taunts of the little policeman, and said defiantly in a different position.
On the way back to the hospital, Huo Li's heart was full of doubts, he was actually not as firm as he was in the police station, and the appearance of someone similar to Cen Man could be said to be just a coincidence, so how to explain this brooch, since Bai Anqing died, she never took it out again, how could it appear in the Huo family's old mansion?
He forced himself not to think about it anymore and to trust Cen Man, but the scene when she accused her mother of being the murderer behind the car accident was vivid, and it was not without reason that she wanted to take revenge on her mother.
Pushing open the door of the ward, he sat next to Mrs. Huo and held her hand and read silently, Mom, please wake up and tell me who caused you to be like this.
Mrs. Huo did not respond at all as if she was asleep, and only the sound of a ventilator in the room reminded of the cruelty of reality.
"Drink some water." He raised his head and saw Huang Ailin standing next to him with a cup,
At this time, Huo Li, who was distraught, wanted her to leave, but Huang Ailin ignored it and just said: "It's time to change the dressing, shall I help you or call a nurse?" ”
She held down his arm as she loosened the gauze and gently applied the ointment.
Huo Li acquiesced to Huang Ailin's existence in the hospital in the past few days, because he was more afraid of facing Cen Man, and he didn't know if he should ask her clearly.
In the Huo Group, due to the absence of the president, Cen Man took on all the affairs and was very busy.
"Cen Man, is it? We suspect that you are involved in an arson case, so please come with us and cooperate with the investigation. Two policemen came to Huo's Group and invited her to the police station under the curious eyes of the employees.
In the interrogation room, the lights were dazzling, and the two policemen put a stack of evidence in front of Cen Man, "Ms. Cen Man, considering that you can't speak, we don't want to take a radical approach, but if you can't provide evidence of your alibi on the day of the crime, we have reason to suspect that you set the fire in Huo's house." ”
Cen Man shook her head, she happened to be in a nearby shop that day to buy things for Xiao Huo Mo's kindergarten activities, but the owner of the shop couldn't find anyone after the fire, and the store was closed, and she couldn't find anyone else to prove herself for the time being.
"Isn't your relationship with Mrs. Huo very bad, according to the servants of the Huo family, she often insults you in private or in public, do you feel resentful because of this, and have the urge to murder her?"
Listening to the policeman's words, Cen Man was in a trance and didn't know how she was connected with the arson case of Huo Zhai, looking at the serious faces, her heart became scared.
"Ms. Cen Man!" The police noticed that the woman in front of them seemed to be distracted, so they screamed, and they found that she did not respond but grabbed a pen and wrote on the table: "I want to see my husband Huo Li." ”
