Chapter 165 Injury
Before Lin Li arrived, Su Tong had already explained to Qin Yi what had just happened, including the last words the black boy said.
Qin Yi was at a loss for what to make of this sentence.
After Lin Li finished his work and met with Qin Yi, the two of them made some follow-up arrangements on this matter, and then the three of them went to the state-owned restaurant together.
Before, Qin Yi and Lin Li came together to find Su Tong for dinner. They usually didn't have a fixed time for dinner, and considering that Su Tong rarely came, they shortened the meeting time. Unexpectedly, Hu Ling was robbed, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
The chef of the state-owned restaurant had already gone to bed after lunch, but he accommodated them because they were soldiers, which was considered as working overtime for them.
While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Li stretched out his ankle and gestured to Su Tong:
"It's probably at this location. It wasn't very obvious at first, but it's getting bigger and bigger now. I shouldn't do any strenuous exercise in the short term, right? Even if I can exercise, I probably can't go hiking..."
Su Tong said: "The swelling may be a dislocation or a fracture. Further examination is needed to determine, but high-intensity exercise is not suitable in the short term."
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and stopped asking questions. Instead of being dejected as before, he excitedly pulled Su Tong to talk about all sorts of things.
Qin Yi had to remind him, "Lin Li, why are you so excited? Be more restrained."
"I, I'm just happy to see Su Tong! She... finally gets to go on a long journey... right!" Lin Li spread his hands, trying to explain.
"I don't care what you think. Don't bring your personal emotions into the mission. I have emphasized this many times."
Lin Li looked around and saw that there was no one else in the store at this time, so he lowered his voice and said:
"Boss, there are no outsiders here. Doctor Hu's foot won't heal in a short time. I don't have a problem with her, but I think she is really not suitable for this mission. Now that she is injured, it's a good opportunity to replace her. It will be easier for her and for us to explain, right?"
"Change? Who do you think is suitable?"
Qin Yi's tone was light, but his expression was serious:
"Hu Ling volunteered. Her father knows best how dangerous and important this mission is. He must have carefully considered agreeing to let her come. Hu Ling's medical skills are pretty good among young female military doctors. Although she has some shortcomings in other aspects, her overall condition meets the needs of the mission. We respect her for taking the initiative to come. After all, this is a real risk with real guns and bullets, not an exercise..."
"I...I understand! But Boss..."
At this time, the waiter came over with a plate of food, and Lin Li had to shut up unhappily.
After dinner, Su Tong suggested going for a walk. It was a rare trip to the provincial capital, so she wanted to buy some Chinese medicine and some suitable daily necessities. The goods in the provincial capital were much richer than those in Qingfeng Town.
Because of Hu Ling's incident, Qin Yi sent Xiao Zhang to follow her and serve as her guide. Su Tong readily agreed.
After waiting for two hours, she and Xiao Zhang returned with a full net bag. The gatekeeper told her that Liu Shiwen had returned and was waiting for her at the bureau.
Su Tong met Liu Shiwen in the office.
But Liu Shiwen's face didn't look very good, and his expression when he stared at her was a little... complicated.
"Commissar Liu, it's Dongdong... Is there anything wrong?"
"No, Dongdong is doing very well! He can take the initiative to greet people outside the family, and even asked to go to the Red Children's Class. He also said that he missed his old friends."
Liu Shiwen's expression obviously relaxed when he mentioned Dongdong.
"Oh!" Su Tong smiled and said, "That's great! Dongdong should be fully recovered!"
"Yes! We felt it too! Dongdong is fine, and Dongdong's mother has also recovered well mentally and physically! And grandma has also been much more energetic recently! Thank you! Su Tong! You saved our family!" Liu Shiwen said sincerely.
"so--"
Before Su Tong could reply, Liu Shiwen continued:
"Whether from the perspective of Dongdong's father or from the perspective of me as the political commissar, there are some things...I think it is necessary to remind you."
Su Tong was a little surprised, "Political Commissar Liu, tell me!"
"Ma Liu's case involves too many people, and it will not be solved in a short time. You were innocently involved from the beginning. Your personal ability is limited, and you don't need to make any more sacrifices. In short, from now on... you should stay away from this case!"
Su Tong was stunned for a moment, then realized that his participation had violated the discipline of the case handling? Was the higher authorities investigating him?
But on second thought, Qin Yi was the only one who knew that he had treated Ma Liu several times, and his knowledge of the case also came from Qin Yi. Even Lin Li avoided him. When he appeared in front of Ma Liu, Qin Yi also found reasonable reasons. With Qin Yi's ability, it was not difficult to block some information.
So it was impossible for Liu Shiwen to know how much she was involved. He always thought that he was just cooperating with the investigation as a victim.
But seeing Liu Shiwen's serious face, Su Tong couldn't help but ask:
"Political Commissar Liu, is there any change in the case?"
Liu Shiwen's face changed slightly and said:
"I'm not in a position to reveal anything about the case, but you must remember what I said. You are just an innocent victim involved. Solving the case is our job. You are just a little girl, you don't need to pay too much attention to these things, let alone make any sacrifices!"
sacrifice?
Liu Shiwen mentioned this word twice in a short period of time. The previous exchange of things has long passed, and she didn't make any sacrifices afterwards...
Su Tong wanted to ask again, but Liu Shiwen looked at his watch and said:
"It's getting late. I won't keep you for dinner! How about I arrange a car to take you home now?"
Su Tong blinked. This, this was so impatient to send her away! She originally wanted to go see Dongdong...
She knew that something must have happened, and it seemed that she could not get any information from Liu Shiwen, so she lowered her head and took out a clay sculpture of Sun Wukong from her net bag, which she had just bought on the street.
"I originally wanted to go and see Dongdong, so...please help me pass this little gift to him!"
Liu Shiwen took a step forward and took Sun Wukong, whispered "thank you", then turned around and shouted outside:
"Xiao Zhang! Go and see why the car hasn't arrived yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone at the door shouted "Report!"
The voice is quite familiar.
Su Tong turned around and saw Zhou Jin standing at the door, his eyes bright and his expression somewhat excited.
"Report to the Political Commissar! Everything is ready! We can set off at any time!"
Liu Shiwen turned to Su Tong and said:
"Zhou Jin will take you there! Let's go!"
Su Tong hurriedly said, "Oh! Political Commissar Liu, I was just about to tell you about Zhou Jin. Captain Qin and his men are in the village, so Zhou Jin doesn't need to..."
Liu Shidong seemed very anxious and said hurriedly:
"Zhou Jin is no longer under my charge. As soon as he came back, he wrote an application and the organization has agreed to let him join the action team. Until the case is over, he will be deployed by Captain Qin."
