Everyone in the ward looked over at once, with confusion and surprise in their eyes. Even Xiaoxi next to him stared at Wang Mingsheng in surprise. Only Lin Cuihua, who was sleeping on the hospital bed and was wrapped like a mummy, burst into tears and screamed out when she heard the sound.
"Son, you're finally here. You don't know how much I've suffered. I was beaten by a truck driver just to come to North City to find you. The doctor said one of my leg bones was broken. Now I'm lying in bed unable to move. Son, it hurts so much!"
Wang Mingsheng was no longer calm. It turned out that the old woman who was beaten unconscious on the roadside by the truck driver by the police was actually his mother. A trace of resentment flashed in Wang Mingsheng's eyes, and he said hatefully.
"How did the truck driver do that? Who gave him the audacity? He's so audacious! He actually assaulted a soldier's family member."
This is outrageous. It's bad enough that he was beaten and hospitalized, but his mother was also beaten and is in the hospital. Moreover, the mother and son are in the same ward. It's really shocking, isn't it?
At this time, the policemen standing nearby finally reacted. One of them walked over, looked at Wang Mingsheng seriously, and asked directly.
"Sir, are you a family member of the victim?"
Wang Mingsheng glanced at the policeman who was questioning him and immediately spoke seriously.
"Yes, my name is Wang Mingsheng. The lady next to me, Lin Cuihua, is my mother. I'm a soldier, and because I'm often in the army, I can't do many things. A few days ago, I called my mother and told her to come to Beicheng to help me. I didn't expect that she would be beaten and seriously injured and hospitalized. Comrade police, you must uphold justice for the people and stand up for us active-duty soldiers! I'm serving in the army, and my family can be beaten unconscious on the roadside. It's simply lawless!"
After hearing what Wang Mingsheng said, the policeman looked at Wang Mingsheng lying on the bed with tubes sparsely inserted on his body. He subconsciously glanced at the medical information posted on the headboard, which stated Wang Mingsheng's specific condition and the cause of his illness. It turned out to be a ruptured spleen. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, and he asked subconsciously.
"Of course. Your mother was beaten and collapsed on the side of the road. This is an act of violence, and a case has been filed. You're a soldier, right? Don't worry, we will handle this case according to the law and impartially. We're here to record your mother's statement. We'd also like to ask why you were so seriously injured and hospitalized."
The mother and son were in the same ward, and they didn't know that the person in the next bed was also their family member.
This was also the first time the police had seen such a situation. After all, judging from the reactions of the two people just now, before they came in to inquire about Lin Cuihua's case, this man named Wang Mingsheng obviously didn't know that the person in the bed next to him was his mother Lin Cuihua.
If they hadn't shown up and come to understand the whole story, it's likely these two people would never have figured out that the people sleeping in the same ward were a family.
The police were very curious about this. As an active-duty soldier, why did Wang Mingsheng notify his mother to come to Beicheng for business? And why did he have a ruptured spleen and be hospitalized, causing the mother and son to live in the same ward.
Before questioning Lin Cuihua, the police wanted to ask about Wang Mingsheng's specific situation, perhaps to get some clues to solve the case.
After all, they searched the entire North City for the truck driver that Lin Cuihua mentioned, but could not find any trace of him. They could only slowly look for clues from the people or things around Lin Cuihua, and perhaps they could find the trace of the murderer.
In response to the police's questions, Wang Mingsheng wanted to say that he was beaten and his spleen ruptured and he was hospitalized, but he quickly changed his words.
"Well... I accidentally fell from a height yesterday and ruptured my spleen. Later, my comrades and the military doctor sent me to this hospital for surgery, so I'm staying in this ward. Before you came in, I didn't know my mother had been beaten and was staying in the same ward with me."
After all, he was probably the only one who had his spleen ruptured and needed surgery because of a single blow from someone who had given him a hand.
It's not good to publicize such a shameful thing to the whole world. The military and the police are one family. If the news that his spleen was ruptured by Bo Mu Nian with just one move spreads out, he will have no place to stand in North City in the future.
He had no choice but to continue with the previous lie, changing the story of being beaten and having his spleen ruptured to being injured by a fall, which seemed to save some face.
It was he who had been the one to start the fight, insisting he was more capable than the others, that had led to Bo Mu Nian rupturing his spleen. Ultimately, it was his fault. Better to keep it to himself than to be blamed by his own husband. As for the brothers who knew the truth, once the storm had passed, naturally no one would bring it up again.
After hearing Wang Mingsheng's narration, the policeman nodded with an expression of "I see."
"Oh, so that's how it is. You can rupture your spleen just by falling. You're really careless!"
Wang Mingsheng: “…”
Wasn't it just carelessness? It was simply too much force.
Then I heard the policeman continue to ask.
"I just heard you mention that your mother came to North City because you called her and asked her to come over to help with something. That's why she was beaten up and fainted on the side of the road after arriving in North City. For the sake of solving the case, can I ask you why you asked your mother to come to North City?"
When the police asked this question, the policemen nearby all looked over and stared at Wang Mingsheng intently. It was obvious that his answer was very important.
If the matter that Wang Mingsheng asked his mother to handle involved the interests of certain people, it is possible that his mother would be beaten as soon as she arrived in Beicheng.
Then, by following the clues, it will be easy to find the suspect.
If Wang Mingsheng asked his mother to come to Beicheng for a simple trivial matter, then they could just treat it as a formality and get to know each other.
Hearing the police's questions, Lin Cuihua, who was wrapped like a mummy, opened her mouth.
"this……"
Unfortunately, Wang Mingsheng interrupted her quickly and said directly.
"Comrade Police Officer, the reason I asked my mother to come to Beicheng is because I have a younger sister who was adopted and raised at home since she was a child. She opened a clinic in Beicheng and business has been quite busy recently. I thought my mother would be idle at home anyway, so I decided to ask her to come to Beicheng and help my sister for a while."
The reason why Wang Mingsheng didn't let Lin Cuihua speak was that he was afraid that his mother, who was impatient, would reveal the fact that the mother and son were conspiring to benefit from Zhong Chuchu, which would be disastrous.
After all, wanting to repay a favor and asking Zhong Chuchu to give her dowry to their Wang family is not a very glorious thing no matter how you look at it.
