"Why is this so?"

"That's right, she's so vicious at such a young age, and she even helped her father drug her mother!"

"That's right. There is no such cruel mother in this world. She took this step because she was disappointed by her child's man."

The onlookers surrounded Wang Mei, commenting on her and criticizing her for everything.

"This little girl, you are so young and yet you are still naughty. How could you even harm your own mother?"

“Today has been an eye-opener for me.”

"That's right."

Wang Mei was young and thin-skinned, and she felt a little embarrassed when so many people surrounded her and criticized her.

"Mom, please say something, how could you do this to me?"

Ning Yu wanted to argue with her, but Si Xinnian pulled her aside and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll talk to her."

Si Xinnian looked at the daughter he had raised for more than a decade, and his heart finally calmed down. "Go back. When we meet in the future, just pretend we don't know each other. I gave birth to you three siblings, but all three of you want to harm me, which shows that I am not a good mother. It's okay for you to harm me, but your grandfather and your uncle should be worthy of you, right?"

When Wang Mei heard Si Xinnian mention the Si family, she subconsciously shrank back, her eyes wandering away, not daring to look at Si Xinnian and Ning Yu at all.

Doesn't it seem like she is guilty to the onlookers?

"Tell me honestly, how have your grandpa and uncle treated your family? Your family lives so well, and all of you are going to school and working because of your uncle's connections. But what about you, do you have any gratitude towards your grandpa and uncle? It's fine if you harmed me, but you even want to harm your uncle. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"

After hearing this, the onlookers were even more furious. They were like a pot of boiling water, and they all accused Wang Mei and her family of being heartless and ungrateful.

Wang Mei couldn't stand this at all, and finally she fled, finally squeezing out of the crowd.

"Okay, thank you all for speaking up today. Stop crowding around."

After such a commotion, the two of them had no intention of shopping any further, so they went to a state-owned restaurant, bought two dishes, and walked home carrying the net bag.

"Sister-in-law, don't tell Si Lu and Yanyan about this when you go home." It's so embarrassing.

"I know. Don't worry. I guess I'll have to take a detour next time I see you."

After all, it was just flesh that fell from her body, and she couldn't really be killed.

Anyway, no matter how I think about this matter, I feel aggrieved. So many years have passed, and what Si Xinnian has lost is more than just his reputation and freedom.

The two returned to the compound, refusing to mention their encounter with Wang Mei. They changed their clothes, washed their hands and cooked.

After dinner, Si Lu and Jiang Yan prepared to go out.

"Mom, we have to go out for a while. I'll trouble you and your aunt to look after the child."

"Oh, it's as if we wouldn't watch it if you didn't tell us. I don't know how much I like Chao Chao Mu Mu. I miss you so much even when you go out for a short while in the afternoon."

Ning Yu never keeps her children at home. Both children are sensible and never get into trouble. They are allowed to do whatever they want.

"Go ahead. It's getting cold. Let Yanyan wear an extra coat."

"it is good."

The two of them changed their clothes, kissed the two babies, and left home.

Lawyer Si rode his bicycle and took Jiang Yan to the Dongcheng Police Station, which was in charge of the case.

They were received by an officer from the institute.

"Director, this is the confession. You can take a look at it." Because his direct supervisor had given him a heads-up, the officer was relatively reassured about Si Lu and Jiang Yan's identities.

Si Lu opened the interrogation book and read it carefully. Jiang Yan was sitting next to him and could see everything clearly by just leaning forward slightly.

The first testimonies were from several teachers and the principal of the kindergarten. Their statements were basically the same, from the morning to the incident at noon, with almost no discrepancies, and they were all about daily life in the kindergarten.

After breakfast, the children sang nursery rhymes, told stories, learned words, and then played games in the yard for a while. Apart from the children drinking water and going to the toilet, there was nothing else to do.

When it was time for lunch, all the children sat on small stools waiting for their meals. Xiaowei had wet his pants, so the aunt took him aside to change them. He ate a little later than the other children. However, he did not show any signs of abnormality while eating, and he finished the bowl of soup, a steamed bun and an egg smoothly.

In this era, many children still did not have enough food. The appetite of a four or five-year-old boy was larger than that of children in later generations. However, even if Xiaowei ate all these things, it would not be enough to cause reflux suffocation, which was really strange.

In their confessions, all the teachers spoke in the same language, saying that no strangers visited and no one approached Xiaowei intentionally, so the possibility of homicide was basically ruled out.

Then we can only find a breakthrough from the autopsy report.

Sure enough, only the autopsy report could reveal something.

Xiaowei had no external injuries, but his stomach capacity was indeed over the limit, 20 milliliters more than the normal amount for a child of his age.

The extra 20 milliliters were enough to cause reflux, causing Xiaowei to suffocate and die.

"There is a problem. Someone must have lied."

Judging from this item alone, Xiaowei must have eaten something else before lunch, and he ate a lot.

But he was obviously not hungry, so why did he eat up all his lunch?

The doubts pointed out by Jiang Yan are consistent with the ideas of the investigators in the station.

This is a suspicious point. As for what Xiaowei ate and who gave the food to him, further investigation is needed.

"What I mean is that it's not necessarily the teachers' fault. They are all trained and it's impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake. Also, the food is rationed. Even if they wanted to give Xiaowei food in advance, they couldn't avoid the eyes of so many children in the class. Children are the most talkative and will tell everything when asked."

Yup!

The officer on duty's eyes lit up, and this reminded him that he could ask the children.

But now that the kindergarten has been closed and the children have all gone home, it is not easy to find their families to ask about these things. What's more, children's memory is different from that of adults, and they sometimes have memory deviations, which is not easy to deal with.

"Thank you, comrade. We will go back first."

"You're welcome, Director. Do you mind if I tell the station about what happened tonight?"

"It should."

The two left the East Office and strolled home.

"Yanyan, did you notice anything?"

"It's just a feeling! I feel that danger is around us." So when she came back from outside that day, she looked in the direction of the kindergarten with some insight.

"Si Lu, if there is no problem with the kindergarten, then what about the elementary school?"
