Chapter 5 Let's Compare
"Sure enough, the mother and daughter played tricks on us!"
Wang Yan sat on the ground with his butt in his hands, holding his head in his hands: "What should I do?" The money is gone, what will we do in the future? ”
"Go and ask Sister Ying'er where the money is, the four of us need to work, Sister Ying'er has to be discharged from the hospital, I don't believe that the British can pay for Sister Ying'er's hospitalization."
Sunan said and stretched out his hand to pull Wang Yan: "Get up, it's useless for us to make a fuss here, Sister Ying'er may have been misremembered after being so stimulated, let's go ask again in the afternoon." ”
"But...... What are we going to eat for lunch? Fanny spread her hands.
Yes, everyone was stunned, what should I eat at noon, everyone has no money, they were originally poor children, this time they came out, all the money was donated, and it was kept by Ms. Wu, and now I can't find it, what to eat at noon?
Compared with the other three, Wang Yan's family conditions are slightly better, he reached out and touched his pocket, hesitated and said: "I still have a pound, which was given by my mother's employer." ”
Wang Yan's mother works as a maid in a family in the concession, which is probably all his property when he came to the UK.
These four people are basically formed by temporary partners, everyone is donated by Ms. Wu's student aid association, sometimes the association activities will also meet, but not familiar, these two days Wang Yan is worried about money, before suspecting that Ms. Wu's mother and daughter absconded with money, just now the first to rush in and rummage, in fact, everyone did not have a very good impression of him, no one thought that he was willing to take the money out.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the three people, Wang Yan smiled embarrassedly: "I only have this pound, and I can't eat much, don't look at me like this, as if I can become a millionaire with one pound." ”
Sunan smiled: "Aren't you the millionaire among us, richer than us." ”
The four children bought bread from the front desk of the hotel, returned to their rooms, poured water and began to eat.
"Luckily in the UK, and black tea." Wang Yan raised his teacup, "We don't think we're eating and drinking." ”
Fanny pouted, "This bread is so unpalatable, I really want to eat Chazuke." ”
"Another cucumber with sauce."
Wei Baobao also said.
"The yellow croaker noodles made by my mother are delicious, and my mother will make them for me every year on my birthday."
As soon as the most calm Sunan talked about eating at home, he also regained the liveliness of his youth.
Wang Yan sighed: "How could we be so unlucky, we finally came to the UK and encountered such a thing." ”
In the afternoon, the four of them ran to the hospital to find Wu Ying'er.
"What, didn't find any money?" Wu Ying'er was very surprised, her head raised and she wanted to sit up, but she accidentally touched the stitched wound and sighed.
"Where do you put your money?" Wei Baobao asked.
"It's in the middle of the box, it's a thousand pounds."
A thousand pounds! So much money! The four of them had to go back and look for it again.
"Sister Ying'er, have you eaten?" When he left, Sunan suddenly remembered that Wu Ying'er might not have eaten yet.
Ying'er sighed: "I may not be able to eat for a while, my intestines are broken, they have been repaired, and I can only be infused with nutrient solutions." ”
Both Wei Baobao and Fanny couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls haven't figured out how to face these bloody facts, and it's great that they don't have to come to deliver food to Wu Ying'er every day.
After lunch, Zhao Nan took the seventh day of the first month to the street lamp at the time of the accident.
There were faint brown traces on the cement floor under the street lamp, and Zhao Nan squatted down, reached out and touched it, and said, "This is the blood shed by Ms. Wu's mother and daughter." ”
Chu Qi was a little scared, stood behind Zhao Nan, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what do you see?" ”
Zhao Nan pointed in one direction and said: "The hotel is in that direction, I have seen this mother and daughter, they are not tall, it will take at least ten minutes for Wu Ying'er to run over, according to Wu Ying'er, that person has been following her, and she began to speed up her steps when she heard the footsteps of that person, so the question is where was Ms. Wu at that time?" According to the two girls, Ms. Wu ran out right after, in that case, why didn't Wu Ying'er hear her footsteps? ”
"yes, yes, I didn't think of that." Chu Qi patted his head, "That's someone who lies, but what are Wei Baobao and Fanny doing lying?" This has nothing to do with them. ”
"Maybe Wu Ying'er and He Wei Baobao didn't lie, Ms. Wu did run out, but there was a delay on the road, and she encountered something else, so Wu Ying'er didn't hear her footsteps."
"According to everyone, Ms. Wu's mother and daughter depend on each other, she loves Wu Ying'er so much, her daughter ran out at night, she didn't follow in a hurry, what would she be delayed?" Chu Qi sighed, "What could be more important than a daughter?" ”
Yes, Zhao Nan is also thinking about this question, is there anything more important than his daughter? It was a big night, or in a foreign country, there was a big conflict between mother and daughter, with Ms. Wu's attention to Wu Ying'er, she would not hesitate to run out to chase her, how could she delay on the road for so long? Who did she meet at the time? What happened?
"Why are you here?" A man's voice came from the opposite side of the road.
Chu Qi beckoned, "Hi, Officer Xius." ”
The bearded officer walked over, pointed to the street lamp and said, "This is the crime scene, what are you doing here?" Who is this person? ”
Chu Qi hurriedly introduced: "This is my uncle, uh, he is a Chinese detective. ”
Chu Qi deliberately accentuated the word detective, and his face was full of showing off.
"There are detectives in China too? Hahaha, lad, your joke is funny. ”
Theseus smiled rudely.
"Mr. Police Officer thinks we don't have detectives in China?" The seventh question of the first month.
"Hehe, I haven't been to China, but I also know that the country is poor and dirty, how can there be any detectives in such a place."
Hughes shrugged.
This bearded officer had behaved well before, Chu Qi didn't expect him to look down on China so much, his angry little face was flushed, and he clenched his fists: "You ......"
Zhao Nan gently patted Chu Qi's shoulder: "Don't be impatient." Then he looked at Hughes and said very calmly: "Yes, my country is very poor and bad now, but this is only a process of development, and you in the early stage of the industrial revolution in England, did you have similar chaos?" As for whether there are detectives in China, I decided to tell you with facts that there are detectives, or smart detectives. ”
Theseus sneered: "Oh, with facts? What kind of facts? ”
"Naturally, the two of us can see who finds the murderer first."
"Young man, do you know what you are talking about? You said you were going to find the murderer? ”
"That's right, let's start with this case, which of the two of us will find the person who is suspected of being Jack the Ripper first."
"What? Jack the Ripper? How do you know this? How do you know it's Jack I suspect? ”
Hughes' eyes widened, astonished.
