It was a week later that he appeared in front of the Yu family compound again.
This time it's daytime. Mo Weiming was holding a medical consultation box in his hand, which contained small and portable medicines and medical equipment. Unexpectedly, this time, the entrance to the secluded compound was very lively.
Two police cars were parked nearby, and people in uniforms were arguing fiercely with the people stuck outside the courtyard gate. The leading man wore a dignified police hat, had a serious attitude, and argued hard with reason. The female police officer next to me was very talkative and thoughtful. There were several police officers nearby who seemed to have little opportunity to express themselves, so they could only echo in silence. But looking at the posture, the people inside were not going to let them in even if they were killed.
Wait a minute, isn't that Yi Hanying?
Just as Mo Weiming was about to walk over, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"why you?"
He turned around and saw Wu Hui sitting on the stone. The weather was getting hot, so she wore a lilac-colored sweater and a thin black coat. Looking back at myself, I was wearing a white coat that I was tired of looking at.
"Why are you?" Mo Weiming asked, "I'm just curious as to why you are here."
"Here, it's a long story. Did you see the car over there? I came here with Qiwen. He was still in the car, and I felt bored, so I came down to get some air. Since the last time...well, I saw the car I started to feel dizzy."
"Isn't that the Police Department's car?"
"That's right. Look, isn't that Hanying? You must remember the notes she made for us in the hospital. Although there was no follow-up after that... That fierce one was Section Chief Bai. They came here before They came here and said they were investigating the Feiye Bay... It seems that other cases were added after that. In short, this time they came to ask for someone. Because there was a connection between the two things, they found the witness and reporter. Smell together. I'm a match."
"...How long have they been arguing?"
As he spoke, Mo Weiming sat on the stone next to her. Looking at the situation, he couldn't even think about going in, so he might as well take a break.
"It's been a long time. Not to mention how the master and his wife are, anyway, the people who stay in the compound are quite xenophobic. On the way, Section Chief Bai said that the last time he came here was not smooth. Even now, the people inside have not let go. "
"They even dared to turn away the police?" Mo Weiming suddenly felt that he was lucky enough to sneak in last week.
"Actually, we could have received it. But... they said the housekeeper was not here."
"How come a person with a foreign surname is in charge of the entire Yu family?"
Wu Hui nodded: "I think it's weird too. I also think some things are even weirder."
"What's up?"
"I heard from Qiwen that the housekeeper and the eldest daughter are almost inseparable. Moreover, their family is very traditional. They basically don't let the eldest daughter step out of the courtyard. They even hire a teacher to teach them how to read. Now that the housekeeper is not here, it must be What an important matter. I suspect they are all at home and just don’t want to see the police..."
Probably because the tug was too long, they saw Qiwen get out of the car and walked over with the camera in one hand. He probably wanted to rely on his eloquence to argue with those servants for a few rounds. But when the person blocking the door saw the camera, he closed the door tightly without saying a word.
"...and reporters." Wu Hui added.
After the crisp "boom" sound, Qi Wen stopped there awkwardly, looking at each other with Section Chief Bai and Police Officer Yi.
This time I was completely shut out. From a distance, they could hear Section Chief Bai sighing deeply. Qiwen spread his hands helplessly, glanced at the camera at hand, and hid it behind his back in embarrassment. He probably also knew that this habitual action of his had touched the sensitive nerves of the Yu family. But to be honest, even if he came empty-handed, he might not be able to make a noise against those people.
Han Ying said indignantly: "Sometimes I really think Brother Chen is right. Lock the door and shoot him to see if they are still arrogant! They are really a bunch of dogs relying on human power."
On the contrary, Section Chief Bai, who had been "ferocious" just now, now comforted her.
"Forget it... let's go back to the car first. Just wait, maybe the person who can take care of things will come back. He shouldn't be gone for too long. This is -"
Section Chief Bai walked towards this side, and the two stood up, each patting the dust on their clothes. Mo Weiming shook hands with him, and after a brief self-introduction, he stated the purpose of his visit.
"...So, according to the regulations, I should check how the injured person is recovering and whether there is anything that should be followed up. Although they are very uncooperative, this is ultimately the doctor's responsibility. I remember that the hospital did call the police afterwards. Yes…so, it’s you who will follow up on this matter.”
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work." Section Chief Bai sighed, "We did receive a report from the Central Hospital and came to investigate the matter. The whereabouts of the attacker are unknown, and I guess he is still locked up in the yard. Although the family has According to family rules, we still don’t advocate lynching today. And we suspect that he was the killer arranged by the deceased in Feiye Bay. The competition between their politicians has always been despicable, and they even don’t spare teenage children. "
"Even on weekdays, the Yu family should consume a lot of police resources, right?" Mo Weiming asked.
"It should be so. They used to be relatively cooperative with the police, but after the Yi family came to power, they seemed more resistant. This seems to be related to disputes among the older generation... In short, we must escort the suspect for interrogation as soon as possible."
"Yes. If he is injured, I will help take a look."
"That would be great."
After Section Chief Bai finished speaking, several police officers behind him saluted him.
"Miss Wu, do you want to go back to the car?"
"Hmm... No, right? I want to walk around. I'm still a little motion sick..."
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Don't go too far. The security there is still... not very optimistic. If you are hungry, there seems to be a street nearby with many stalls. I don't know if this spot is still there. Section Chief Bai motioned to the police officer next to him, "You remember, right? Why don't you lead the way."
Before the police officer agreed, Wu Hui waved her hand and declined. She said she wanted to go for a walk alone and would be back soon. Mo Weiming thought for a while, then followed her back carrying the box. Section Chief Bai felt strange and asked Qiwen:
"Didn't she say she wanted to be alone?"
"Hey. Are you single now?"
"Yeah? What's the problem?"
Of course Wu Hui couldn't hear their discussion. Although, she did not protest against Mo Weiming who followed. They walked south for a while, and when they passed an intersection, Mo Weiming raised the hand that was not holding the box and said:
"I remember if we go further east, we should be close to Shopkeeper Shi's shop."
"We have to walk for a while. Speaking of which, have you used the incense they gave me last time?"
"No, I sleep normally. I'm always worried that there are some ingredients in it that are bad for health. Have you used them?"
"Ah...nope. I didn't feel too uncomfortable after that. Maybe I just have something on my mind and I need to find someone to tell it to. By the way, if we continue along this road, will we be able to reach the time when we first came here? A soup dumpling shop?”
"Really? It seems so."
So they followed this path. The further southwest you go, the more dilapidated the buildings become. As the weather gets hotter, the rancid smell of garbage becomes more obvious. It was easy for both men to think of the unusual gunfire they heard in the alley that day. Although it is not the same road, since this kind of reverie has occurred, it is better to pay attention to safety.
"It will be too chaotic if we go further into the slums. It's better to go back early."
"……Too."
However, just as the two were about to return the same way, a group of shadows rushed over from the corner in front. It was still some distance away from the two of them, but one could tell at a glance that it was a scarred wolfdog. It screamed miserably and moved awkwardly on three legs.
Half a brick flew from behind and hit it on the head. It didn't even have time to let out a whimper before it fell down in front of the two of them.
Mo Weiming immediately squatted down. The wolfdog's eyes could no longer focus on him, and blood foamed from its mouth. Wu Hui took a breath, wondering who could do such a cruel thing. Its fur was also damaged in many places, one leg was completely broken, and the white bones could be seen. It can be seen that it has been tortured inhumanely.
Soon, the "murderers" rushed forward. There were only four or five children, some boys and some girls, the oldest no more than ten years old. Wearing faded old clothes, they shouted excitedly: "Eat dog meat!"
Logically speaking, everything that happens here is out of their control. But soon, another child came running. She was wearing a beautiful green dress with the outline of a small fish printed on the hem. The shoes were also new, but they were stained with mud.
"Miss Yu...?"
In an instant, many images flashed back in Mo Weiming's mind.
"Go away, don't get in the way here." The girl hugged her shoulders and said arrogantly, "Don't even think about touching my dog."
Wu Hui looked up and down, and had certain expectations about her identity. She was surprised: "Your dog? You...you live near here? Since it is your dog, how can you allow these children to bully it like this? It is almost dead!"
"The stinky dog deserves to die. In human terms, this is called treating the other person the way he wants to treat him!"
As she spoke, she kicked the dog twice more in the stomach. It was motionless, either because it was too weak or...
Other children also made noises, telling the two adults to get out of here and stop grabbing their things. This lady probably asked them to beat the dog specifically, but why? Moreover, why is she alone in such a dangerous place?
Before they could figure it out, Jiu Fangze's roar suddenly came from behind.
"stop!"
"Run quickly."
At that moment, Mo Weiming picked up the wolfdog on the ground and ran away. Wu Hui was shocked and didn't know why. But seeing a strong man running towards him with a fierce look, she hurriedly caught up with Mo Weiming. Panting and running to the intersection, the sharp-eyed Wu Hui saw a rickshaw and immediately called the driver over.
Getting into the car with Mo Weiming, she said anxiously: "Go, go to Mr. Ziwei..."
"Listen to me! Go east!"
Mo Weiming interrupted her. She didn't know what was going on, so she had to cooperate. The lifeless wolfdog curled up in his arms, and the blood foam at the corner of its mouth stained his clothes. He was still holding the box with one hand, leaving deep marks on his palm. Mo Weiming directed the driver to pull the car to a stop nearby. Wu Hui soon realized that he was going to take the dog to eat the light.
"That man won't chase me. He will give priority to the eldest lady... Even if he wants to cause trouble for us, he will not find Xi Guang."
"Uh, but..."
But why do you want to snatch someone's dog? Do you want to save it? Why?
Wu Hui didn't ask after all. She just helped him carry the box, walked into the building door with hurried steps, and arrived in front of the eclipsed door with ease. To the surprise of the two, Shi Wuqi opened the door as if he expected them to appear at this time.
"The Yu family's dog?"
"……right."
"come on in."
Shi Wuqi led them, three steps at a time, and lifted the tablecloth of a large table in the room. All the trivial things on the table were clattered together. Mo Weiming placed the wolfdog on the table and took the box from Wu Hui without any explanation. He quickly put on the medical gloves inside, took out the required glass vial containing the medicine, and put it aside with a smooth movement.
Shi Wuqi handed over the blade skillfully.
