The doctor also lived on this street, and Lao Wang had already arrived while he was talking.
The doctor's clinic is also located in a private house, but the yard is larger than that of nearby neighbors.
As soon as Lao Wang opened the door, the doctor came over and took them to a room as soon as he explained the purpose.
"Oh, this little kid is so pitiful. He is really an orphan now."
There was only one bed in the room, with a thin little boy lying on the bed, and a middle-aged woman sitting beside the bed, who must be Brother Wang's wife.
"Hey, who are you?"
Mrs. Wang looked at them and found that they were not nearby neighbors.
Lao Wang likes to wander around on the streets, so Sister-in-law Wang is somewhat familiar with him, and this is a question for him.
"Oh, this is Master Liang, here to investigate some situations."
Lao Wang pointed at Liang Yuanque and introduced, "We met your man when we came here. You don't have to be afraid."
"Oh, that's it." Sister-in-law Wang saw that Liang Yuanque and Zhuang Youjie both looked kind and didn't look like bad people, so she felt less defensive.
Liang Yuanque knocked on the child on the bed and asked softly,
"He's not awake yet?"
Sister-in-law Wang thought of her child and softened her voice, "I just woke up for a while, drank some water and was put to sleep again by me."
Liang Yuanque nodded silently, walked gently to the bed, and looked at the boy's appearance.
There was a large swelling on the boy's forehead. It looked like it had been hit by a large, heavy object, or as if someone had grabbed his head and hit it against the wall.
But no matter which way it is, it is too cruel for a seven or eight-year-old child.
Perhaps Liang Yuanque's breathing alarmed the child. He suddenly trembled and opened his eyes suddenly to see a stranger standing in front of him. He screamed in fright and got up from the bed to hide.
Mrs. Wang quickly hugged him over and touched his head to comfort him.
"Oh, don't be afraid. He's not a bad person."
The child's eyes were still trembling when he looked at Liang Yuanque, obviously in shock.
Liang Yuanque also quickly comforted him, "You don't have to be afraid. The bad guys have escaped and you are safe."
The child was scratching his head and tears were about to overflow from his eyes.
"How is my grandma doing?"
Liang Yuanque couldn't bear to let the child who had just woken up know such cruel news, so he could only sigh and lie to him,
"Your grandma hasn't woken up yet. Maybe she'll be fine after a while."
Hearing him mention his grandma, the child's eyes were less frightened and wary, but he still hugged Mrs. Wang, whom he knew well, tightly.
Liang Yuanque comforted and guided him softly, "Little brother, who came to your house last night, did you see it?"
A confused look slowly appeared in the child's eyes. It was normal for him to be so severely shocked that he couldn't remember what happened before.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and became impatient again.
"How's my uncle doing? Did the bad guys hurt my uncle?"
Uncle?
Liang Yuanque frowned. Was there a fourth person at the scene last night?
Or maybe the murderer is the uncle himself?
Liang Yuanque looked at Mrs. Wang inquiringly.
"Sister-in-law, does Granny Fang have a younger son?"
"Young son?" Sister-in-law Wang was also confused. She frowned and thought for a while, "No, she only has an only son."
That should be someone else that Mrs. Fang knew, but the child called him "Uncle" in name.
"Little brother, what is your uncle's relationship with your grandma?"
Liang Yuanque asked the child for confirmation.
After all, this child was too young to understand the twists and turns between adults. He only knew that his grandma asked him to call him uncle, so he did. He muttered for a long time without explaining the relationship between them.
Mrs. Fang was murdered by an acquaintance, and the murderer was most likely the "uncle" in the child's mouth.
Seeing that he couldn't tell the relationship, Liang Yuanque asked in a different way,
"Then little brother, do you remember what happened last night? Who hit your head like this?"
The child thought for a while, "Last night, last night I was already sleeping, and I heard someone knocking on the door. My grandma got up and opened the door, telling me that my uncle was here."
"I was very sleepy at the time and didn't get up to look, so grandma let me continue sleeping."
"Later, when I was falling asleep, I felt a pain in my head. Just as I was about to open my eyes, someone pulled me up from the bed and hit me against the wall..."
"...I, I was in too much pain, so I fainted, and then, then..."
Thinking of last night's horrific experience, the feeling of fear struck again. The child started crying as he spoke, with big tears falling from his eyes.
Sister-in-law Wang quickly took him into her arms to comfort him, and Liang Yuanque also quickly waved her hand.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
By this point, it was almost clear that the child was attacked in his sleep and did not see the appearance of the murderer clearly.
Naturally, it was not determined whether this brutal murderer was his brother-in-law.
The child was tired from crying, so Mrs. Wang coaxed him and put him back on the bed.
Looking at the pillows on the bed, Liang Yuanque suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.
"It's broken. I forgot to look at what was under the pillow!"
He slapped his head and rushed outside.
Being interrupted by the Tong siblings just now, he had forgotten that he had found something under Mrs. Fang's pillow before.
"Hey, Aqiao, where are you going?"
Zhuang Youjie hurriedly chased him out.
Liang Yuanque waved to him,
"Go back to Fang's house, hurry up!"
As soon as he ran out not far away, he saw Sister-in-law Wang chasing after him.
"Wait, wait, I remembered something!"
Liang Yuanque stopped and said, "What?"
"The uncle the child mentioned may be Aunt Fang's maternal nephew!"
Ever since the child mentioned this person just now, Sister-in-law Wang has been thinking about who he is, and it really made her think of him.
"A few years ago, Aunt Fang's son and daughter-in-law just passed away, and a nephew from her natal family often came to take care of her, but he stopped coming after a while,"
Sister-in-law Wang said,
"To this day, he hasn't come to my door for several years, and I didn't even think about this person for a moment."
This was really an important clue. Liang Yuanque quickly asked,
"Sister-in-law, do you remember what Grandma Fang's nephew looks like?"
Sister-in-law Wang frowned and seemed to be thinking hard.
"Hey, he looks like an ordinary person, nothing special. Hey, but he is quite tall, and he is considered tall among men."
An acquaintance, male, tall.
This is almost completely consistent with Liang Yuanque's speculation.
But this person has probably run away a long time ago. Where can I find him now?
Moreover, if Mrs. Fang's own nephew killed her, would the murder case still have any connection with the Song family?
Liang Yuanque frowned and quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Sure enough, we still have to go back to Fang's house first to see what the thing hidden by Mrs. Fang is!
