Chapter 10: Fried Food Shop Owner Commits Murder And Hides The Body
In the red BMW.
The mouse couple sat in the passenger seat, sniffing the fragrance of the fried chicken wings intently.
“Where did you see the stinky old man frying his wife?” Jiang Yuan asked with a serious expression.
Mrs. Mouse turned her head and said to her, “Human, we saw it at the stinky old man’s shop that day. He cut his wife into several pieces.”
Mr. Mouse echoed, “That’s right, that’s right, his wife’s head is still frozen in the freezer!”
“And that stinky old man usually yells at us mice, wanting to catch and kill us. Today, for the first time ever, he didn’t chase us away, and even fed us with his wife’s meat,” Mrs. Mouse added.
Mr. Mouse said excitedly, “How could we dare to eat it? Maybe the stinky old man put poison in it!”
This Mr. Mouse is indeed very cautious.
Jiang Yuan asked again, “Do you know why he did that to his wife?”
Mrs. Mouse recalled, “It seems the stinky old man wanted to give money to his younger brother’s son to buy a house, and his wife disagreed. They argued, and the stinky old man happened to be holding a knife. He swung it at his wife, and blood splashed on me!”
“That’s outrageous! I would never treat my wife like that!” Mr. Mouse seized the opportunity to declare his loyalty, “If my wife says one, I never say two! The world is big, but my wife is the biggest!”
“You scoundrel, you’re making me blush!” Mrs. Mouse playfully punched Mr. Mouse.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
After living for so long, I can still see mice showing affection.
She thought for a moment and asked again, “By the way, you said he fried his wife in hot oil. What did he do with her afterwards?”
Mrs. Mouse: “He sold her!”
Mr. Mouse: “Yes, maybe your food contains his wife.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Her gaze fell on the bag of fried food, and she frowned, “Then you two shouldn’t eat it. I’ll go buy something else from another place.”
The mouse couple agreed.
Jiang Yuan bought other food as a thank-you gift for the mouse couple’s intelligence, and then drove to Xingfu Jiayuan.
She called Jiang Die in advance to meet her at the community entrance.
Jiang Yuan parked the car in front of Jiang Die and got out, carrying the things she bought for Zhan Zhan and Momo.
“Yuan Yuan, why did you buy so much?” Jiang Die looked at her with a helpless expression, “Don’t waste money.”
“This isn’t wasting,” Jiang Yuan smiled, “Sister, you take these up. I have things to do, and I’ll come visit you another day.”
Jiang Die took the large bags she handed over and gently advised, “Don’t buy so many things next time you come. Save the money for yourself.”
“It’s okay, we can spend it together.” Jiang Yuan waved to her, “Hurry up and go upstairs.”
“I’ll watch you go,” Jiang Die exhorted, “Drive carefully, pay attention to safety.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “I know, Sister. I’m leaving.”
As the car drove away, she saw Jiang Die still standing in the same spot in the rearview mirror, guilt and self-blame surging within her.
She gripped the steering wheel, thinking silently, I must be good to Jiang Die.
Half an Hour later, the red BMW stopped in front of the police station near Old Wang’s Fried Food Shop.
Jiang Yuan walked in, carrying the bag of fried food.
During lunchtime, there was only one police officer on duty at the case reception area, a young boy.
He looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, “Is there something you need?”
Jiang Yuan handed him the bag of fried food, her expression solemn, “Hello, I want to report a crime.”
“Miss Jiang, please follow me.” The duty officer led Jiang Yuan to the interrogation room.
As soon as Jiang Yuan sat down, two police officers entered. One of them stood tall and upright, exuding righteousness, with outstanding features, a buzz cut, deep and sharp facial contours, and eyes as bright and sharp as black crystals.
“Miss Jiang,” the duty officer introduced, “This is the Captain of our Criminal Investigation Team. He has a few questions for you.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay.”
Si Heng sat opposite her, his thin lips moved, and he said slowly, “Miss Jiang, you say the owner of Old Wang’s Fried Food Shop committed murder and hid the body?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yes.”
Si Heng: “How did you discover it?”
Jiang Yuan had already prepared her story on the way, “I borrowed the toilet from the boss when I went to buy something today, and I discovered it by accident.”
As she spoke, Si Heng’s gaze fell on her, focused and sharp.
Jiang Yuan pursed her lips slightly and continued, “At that time, the freezer door was stuck on something. I thought I’d help close it, but I didn’t expect to see a human head.”
“Was there only a human head in the refrigerator?” Si Heng asked.
Jiang Yuan frowned, “I don’t know. I didn’t dare to look closely, and I suspect the fried meat he’s selling is not right.”
Si Heng looked at the bag beside her hand.
“You can have it tested. If the ingredients of this meat are wrong, then possibly…” Jiang Yuan did not finish her sentence.
Si Heng asked indifferently, “Are you suspecting that the fried meat he’s selling contains human flesh?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Mm.”
Si Heng was silent for a moment, then said slowly, “Understood.”
The police officer taking notes beside him printed out the record and handed it to Jiang Yuan.
Si Heng: “Please check it and sign.”
Jiang Yuan scanned the content of the record. As she was about to sign, the man suddenly spoke.
“Miss Jiang, falsely reporting a crime is punishable. Please consider carefully before signing.”
Jiang Yuan lifted her eyes and glanced at him, then signed her name without hesitation.
It was one-thirty in the afternoon when she left the police station. The snow had stopped, but the sky was still overcast.
Jiang Yuan came to the food street again, parking her car about ten meters away from Old Wang’s Fried Food Shop.
It was the second day of the New Year’s Day holiday, and the food street was very lively. There were even several people queuing at the entrance of Old Wang’s Fried Food Shop.
Jiang Yuan looked at this scene, feeling somewhat uneasy.
If these people later found out that the meat they ate was not ordinary meat, how scared would they be?
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and decisively pushed open the car door and got out.
She stood at the back of the queue at Old Wang’s Fried Food Shop.
When Old Wang saw Jiang Yuan queuing, he smiled and greeted her, “Beauty, you’re here to buy again! How is it, isn’t my fried meat delicious?”
“Mm, it tastes good,” Jiang Yuan replied indifferently.
Soon, it was her turn to order.
Jiang Yuan said, “Boss, how much meat do you have here? I want it all.”
Old Wang’s eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, “Beauty, are you joking? You want it all?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan said, “I want whatever you have.”
Confirming she wasn’t joking, Old Wang was overjoyed, “There’s plenty! Beauty, please pay a three thousand yuan deposit first, and we’ll settle the balance when the food is ready.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan quickly paid the deposit.
After receiving the money, Old Wang immediately said to the people queuing behind her, “Sorry everyone, we’re sold out for today.”
Jiang Yuan heard the people queuing behind her start to complain, and some even blamed her.
“What’s going on, is being rich great?”
“That’s ridiculous, buying so much meat, you won’t be able to eat it all in your lifetime, right?”
Jiang Yuan listened quietly, saying nothing.
Old Wang smiled at the complaining customers, “Ah, it can’t be helped. My fried meat is too popular. Please come earlier next time.”
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan again, “Beauty, do you want to wait here, or come back later to pick it up?”
