Chapter 227: Meeting
I don't know how long I slept, Zhu Quan was suddenly woken up by hunger, feeling the rumbling sound of his stomach, Zhu Quan remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
The most recent meal I ate was the box of instant noodles that Wu Jinfei brought to him last night.
During the daytime today, the group seemed to have forgotten about eating, and the highly tense escorts and fascinating stories had completely covered the weakness caused by hunger.
Zhu Quan is a host, as a practitioner in the media industry, like those doctors, lawyers, policemen, etc., they all forget to eat when they are busy.
Often, they are hungry and full.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that there was no hunger during this escort.
At this time, it was already dark outside.
Zhu Quan looked at his phone, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning.
I turned on my phone and checked the 24-hour supermarket near the hotel, and I wanted to find a place similar to a convenience store to eat a bucket of instant noodles.
After all, in such a period of time, who can expect too much?
This is not the Guoshi Building, there is a 24-hour non-stop restaurant, and there are no other simple meals for Zhu Quan to choose from.
However, as Zhu Quan followed the instructions on the map to the nearest convenience store to the hotel, a Lanzhou ramen that was still open came into view.
Zhu Quan remembered, this should be the Lanzhou ramen mentioned by Wang Mai:
proximity to the police station;
Open 24 hours;
The owner is an uncle in his forties;
Good taste and low price.
Zhu Quan walked in and took a look, and sure enough, the person standing at the door of the back kitchen was a young man about thirty years old, who was also the cook of this Lanzhou ramen shop.
It should be the son of the forty-year-old uncle in Wang Mai's mouth!
More than ten years have passed, and such an age is just right.
Zhu Quan decisively ordered a Lanzhou ramen to eat, and the taste was really good.
It seems that I have gained strength, and my brain has become better.
I can't find where Wang Mai's home is, but the police in Shandan must know where Wang Mai's home is!
At the very least, Zhao Binyan should know, because Wu Jinfei said on the way here that Captain Zhao would go to see Wang Mai's mother almost every year.
It's really effortless!
Zhu Quan felt that this Lanzhou ramen was even more delicious.
Early the next morning, Zhu Quan waited at the door of the police station early, called Captain Zhou, and finally found Wang Mai's house under the leadership of the police officer handling the case in Shandan City.
"Host Zhu, this is Wang Mai's home."
The police officer handling the case led Zhu Quan to a small high-rise and said.
This is a four-storey private house in an urban village, similar to the style of a farmhouse common in the countryside today, but with higher floors.
It seems that the family conditions of Wang Mai's family have been quite good in the past ten years.
At least not as poor as Wang Mai thought.
Otherwise, they would not have spent money to buy such a private house.
This is not like the local government of Huaguo who just took off the hat of a poor county, spent 710 million yuan to build a luxury school, and then had to repay more than 50 million yuan every year for more than ten years.
Because, this is the family's own money.
"Wangmai's home looks pretty good."
Zhu Quan commented.
"That's, Host Zhu, you may not know that Wang Mai's sisters have developed very well, some have become teachers, some have become doctors, and some have opened several chain clothing stores, and they have been taking care of the two elders in the more than ten years that Wang Mai has been on the run."
The police officer handling the case led Zhu Quan inside, and at the same time introduced Wang Mai's current family situation to Zhu Quan.
While talking, Zhu Quan and the police officer handling the case entered the room together, only to see three old people chatting, and an old lady with white hair took the initiative to get up and greet the police officer handling the case.
"This is Wang Mai's mother." After the police officer handling the case whispered a word to Zhu Quan, he immediately told the old lady that Wang Mai was back.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "My son is back?" Did I hear me right? Officer Koshi! ”
After the old lady stood up, Zhu Quan saw what the old lady looked like, and finally understood why the previous photo of the martyr's mother could touch Wang Mai.
These two old mothers do look a little alike, with round faces, especially short gray hair.
Wang Mai's mother was very excited, and quickly beckoned us to sit down, and called the other children.
She took a small plastic bag from the house, which contained some crushed rock candy, she grabbed some with her hand and put it in the teacup, and said to me with a smile: "Thank you, our water here is not as good as your southern, but it is sweet with some rock sugar..."
When the old lady laughed, Zhu Quan saw that her mouth was already toothless.
"I'm seventy-seven years old and his dad is seventy-nine. We didn't know when Xiaoliu ran away, and when we knew, we couldn't find him anymore..."
“... When Xiaoliu ran away, our family never slept peacefully, and I don't know how he came by himself all these years..."
“... If he doesn't come back, I don't know if he is dead or alive, and we are becoming more and more desperate, thinking that we will not be able to see this son in this life..."
The old lady cried and told about her mental journey over the years, which was very sad.
Looking at the mother in front of him, Zhu Quan felt sad.
I remembered what he said on the first day when I met Wang Mai, the martyr's mother was sad for her son, and she would be respected by everyone, while her mother's beloved son would not be angry, and his mother's sadness would only be condemned by everyone.
Thinking back to Zhu Quan himself, he has no mother or father since he was a child, only his sister, and they depend on each other for their lives.
In this comparison, Wang Mai seems to be more fortunate than himself.
Happiness, of course, is still yourself!
Although I don't have parents, I have the love of the dean's grandmother and the aunts of the welfare home!
Thinking of this, Zhu Quan was no longer sad.
The other two of the three old men were Wang Mai's father and his aunt.
Everyone, you and I said a word, wiping tears as they spoke, they were half happy and half sad.
Wang Mai's mother said, "My son is a good man, and he has a good heart. That thing... That is, my son Wang Mai killed someone, and I can't blame my son for everything. Think about it, so many people beat him, if he doesn't fight back, he won't be beaten to death by those people? ”
That being said, the specific sentencing is still a matter for the courts.
However, according to what Zhu Quan has learned, the fact is that as Wang Mai's mother said, it will be about one or two decades in prison.
