Upon discovering this, Xiao He simply chuckled.
Some people really do follow the example of their superiors; their current miserable old age is perhaps their own retribution.
Xiao Hesui felt no pity.
However, Xiao He then had some doubts.
The video of the previous car accident clearly shows that the old woman couldn't hide her intention to "exchange" the old man for money. When the truck arrived, she pushed the wheelchair and ran ahead, even tripping and falling in her haste. Meanwhile, the old man in the wheelchair slid a short distance and was almost swept away by the tanker truck.
Xiao He originally thought that the old woman was using her husband's life to extort money from her son, but now that he saw that she had a bad relationship with her son, what was her real purpose in doing this?
Is it simply that they're tired of taking care of old men and want to replace the cold, indifferent old man with warm, warm money?
After all, the old man's condition did look quite bad. He was completely unable to take care of himself and was rarely lucid. Most of the time, Zhang Li had to take care of him, cleaning up his excrement, cooking, and washing clothes. Moreover, their money had been swindled away by their son. Although they still had their monthly pensions as a last resort, the old man's medical expenses must have been very high. Zhang Li had been taking care of him for almost three or four years. It was only natural that she couldn't bear to have such a husband.
No one can expect someone to take care of a person who is bedridden for many years without complaint or regret.
This quality may still exist, but it is now rarely seen.
Therefore, Xiao He believed that Zhang Licun intended to kill the person in one go.
However, Zhang Li probably didn't expect that her staged accident would cause such a serious chain reaction, even involving many innocent people.
Just thinking about this stupid and wicked behavior made Xiao He's blood pressure soar.
He then pulled up the real-time monitoring data from that side.
Sure enough, the old woman inside was still insisting that she had a heart condition and that the police should find her a doctor immediately, otherwise she would die soon.
As for anything else, she wouldn't talk about it.
This blind obsession made Xiao He slowly narrow his eyes.
Since acquiring the skill of [psychological suggestion], Xiao He, although not yet at the level of mind reading or a psychology master, now knows a little bit of basic psychology.
Based on Zhang Li's various behaviors and her attitude when facing the police, Xiao He sensed something was amiss.
I have a feeling... Zhang Li wasn't lying.
Xiao He wasn't the only one with such doubts; after repeatedly questioning him several times, Officer Yang also noticed something amiss.
Judging from Zhang Li's reaction, it does seem as if she is certain that she has a heart condition.
Officer Yang observed Zhang Li's expression, exchanged a glance with the officer beside him, and tacitly shared a look.
Officer Yang then left the room.
A short while later, he came back and informed her: "Alright, Ms. Zhang, we will take you to the hospital for a check-up now. We hope you will tell the truth."
Yes, Zhang Li's reaction also aroused suspicion among Officer Yang and others.
In order to find out the truth and to prevent any accidents, Officer Yang and his team decided to take the person directly to the hospital.
They wanted to see if the old woman was faking it or if she really was.
The group then organized their notes and prepared to head to the hospital.
Only after everyone exited the screen did Xiao He turn off the monitoring link and begin further investigation of Zhang Li.
In fact, besides looking at a person's chat history or phone messages, there is another place that can reveal a lot of information—daily cash flow!
A person's daily spending habits can indirectly reflect their current lifestyle and the people they interact with.
Thanks to the rapid economic development here, online payment has become widespread. From young children to elderly people with difficulty walking, most people have learned how to use mobile payment.
This greatly facilitated Xiao He's online survey.
And with almost no effort on his part, Xiao He discovered that Zhang Li would pay a large sum of money to someone every now and then.
Sometimes it's once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. Based on the monthly pensions these two elderly people might receive, this expense is almost all that's left after deducting their daily living expenses and the old man's medical treatment.
In other words, someone takes all of the elderly couple's money every month.
Is he their son?
Xiao He checked the account and found it wasn't correct.
That's strange. Zhang Li and her family are practically living alone, with no relatives or friends. How could they have such a fixed expense that has almost emptied their remaining financial security?
Xiao He continued his investigation.
Then, another peculiar note caught my eye—
【son】
When Xiao He first saw this name, he didn't react at all, thinking that it was a nickname Zhang Li had left for her son.
