Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Why doesn’t God kill you with a thunderbolt…
Sitting on the chair in the interrogation room, Shen Miao always felt that the wall behind her was leaking air, and there were gusts of cold air blowing continuously into the back of her neck.
Looking at the two serious-looking policemen in front of her, she suddenly thought of the night when Shen Shansheng was taken away during the Chinese New Year.
Even though the father and daughter have been honest all their lives and believe that they have never made a mistake, their fingers will tremble nervously when they see the eight big words on the wall: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist."
After waiting for about ten minutes, the police officer in charge of this case pushed the door open.
“Shen Miao, huh?”
"Um."
The man looked like an old policeman who had been handling cases for many years. He was not like the two cucumbers beside him, who were tense and sitting seriously.
He took off his police hat and placed it on the table. When he sat down, his expression was slightly relaxed. "Don't be nervous. We came to you just to get some information from you. It's not certain whether the crime of poisoning is established or not."
He took a long breath. Even though the police's tone was calm, his throat still choked when he heard the word "poisoning".
Flipping open the notebook and taking out a pen, the policeman continued, "Do you know Sun Hongxia?"
"know."
"What is your relationship with her?"
"It's just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship... but we can also be considered acquaintances, because we have many mutual friends in our family, so we often run into each other at banquets."
While the police were taking notes, Shen Miao probably guessed that the incident was probably related to Sun Hongxia, so she asked cautiously: “Excuse me, did Sun Hongxia have an accident?”
"Miscarriage," the police officer answered straightforwardly, "The doctor at the hospital said that she took some kind of anti-progestin which caused the miscarriage. Sun Hongxia's condition is currently critical and she is being treated in the hospital."
Shen Miao: ???
“So what she meant was that I drugged her, right?” As she spoke, the nameless anger in Shen Miao’s heart burned up.
At the beginning, Shen Miao felt that Sun Hongxia was pregnant, and considering her old age, she specially asked her to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and asked her to ask the doctor if she needed to take any measures to preserve the pregnancy.
Sun Hongxia told her that the doctor said her pregnancy was in good condition, but she was a little tired and asked her to have a good rest.
It was Sun Hongxia who insisted on pulling her aside and asked her to prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine so that she could feel at ease, saying that compared to the doctors in the hospital, she still believed in the medical skills of their Shen family.
Seeing Sun Hongxia was so sincere, Shen Miao couldn't refuse, so she checked her pulse every week and prescribed some medicine for her to maintain her health and protect her pregnancy. She even wrote a recipe for her, telling her how to eat to be healthier.
"Why in all conscience would I drug her?"
"Comrade police officer, it really has nothing to do with me. Think about it, it's been three or four weeks. If I really wanted to drug her, why didn't I do it on the first day?!"
Shen Miao was a little agitated and was eager to prove her innocence.
What a guy, I wanted to help her, but after she had a miscarriage, she turned the tables and accused me of poisoning her?
Now she is like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither human nor human!
"Don't get excited, we just asked you to come and ask questions to find out the specific situation."
The police officer motioned to his colleague to pour her a glass of water, then continued to ask: "Can you tell me what is in the medicine you prescribed for her?"
After taking the water and taking a sip, Shen Miao calmed down a little, and after a while, she answered him: "Artemisia argyi, Atractylodes macrocephala, Lycium barbarum, Eucommia ulmoides… is a prescription for nourishing the kidneys and nurturing the fetus. You can go to my pharmacy to see the prescription and the medicine used. It is all there."
As the police continued to take notes, Shen Miao asked again: "What is Sun Hongxia's situation? Why did she suspect me?"
"Because she had a miscarriage after taking the medicine you prescribed."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the police received a report from Sun Hongxia's son and rushed to the hospital to find out the situation.
Wang Qianjin said that their family was having lunch at noon. After lunch, Sun Hongxia prepared the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by Shen Miao. However, she had just taken it for more than an hour when she felt unbearable abdominal pain. She started bleeding before she could even take a taxi to the hospital.
After more than an hour of rescue, the doctors failed to save the baby. Because Sun Hongxia was old and the baby was already four or five months old, the situation after the forced abortion was very bad.
After asking the doctor, the doctor said that Sun Hongxia had taken abortion drugs. They sent the drug residue for examination and confirmed that it contained anti-progesterone ingredients. Therefore, Wang Qianjin chose to report the case and asked the police to arrest Shen Miao on charges of poisoning and intentional injury.
After understanding the situation, the police closed the pen in his hand and said, "We have roughly understood the situation. How about this? You stay in the police station and see what the situation is at the hospital. After all, the pregnant woman is still being rescued. We have to wait until she is better before sending you home."
“Okay, I understand,” Shen Miao expressed her understanding, but she also raised a request of her own, “Can I call home to let them know I’m safe? I left in a hurry, my parents must be worried sick.”
"OK."
When she came out of the interrogation room with Shen Miao, she saw Wang Qianjin, who was coming to settle accounts with her with his fists clenched.
"You bastard surnamed Chen! You are so bold that you dare to poison my mother?!"
Seeing Shen Miao, Wang Qianjin rushed towards her like a mad dog with his teeth and claws bared. Fortunately, the police stopped him in time and his fist did not fall on Shen Miao.
"I didn't poison you! There's nothing wrong with the medicine I prescribed. It was you who took the wrong thing. Stop blaming me!"
"Mom, come on, you're still interested, right? I'm going to beat you to death today!"
The enraged Wang Qianjin completely turned into a ferocious beast, and several people were unable to stop him.
When it is furious, even if it is restrained by chains, its claws will be sharp and capable of hurting people.
Just as Wang Qianjin was about to break free from the policemen's restraints, a more powerful hand suddenly appeared behind him and pinched the back of his neck steadily and fiercely. At the same time, the other hand twisted his outstretched arm and pressed the raised knee on his spine with sudden force. Wang Qianjin was subdued to the ground.
Luo Jialin?
Why is he here?
In this situation, a word quickly flashed through Shen Miao’s mind: Wu Song fighting the tiger.
What's the point of just stopping someone who is about to lose his mind? The only way to calm him down is to fight violence with violence and pin him to the ground.
"This is a police station! Not a boxing ring. Who gave you permission to do that?"
Holding Wang Qianjin tightly under him, Luo Jialin's righteous rebuke far overshadowed his anger.
Seeing that he still wanted to struggle, he even increased the strength of his five fingers and pinched his face until it turned red.
One was treated politely by the police, and the other was subdued on the ground by the police... At this time, who could still tell who was the reporter and who was the suspect?
"I, I, I, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
When Wang Qianjin couldn't bear it anymore and started begging for mercy, Luo Jialin finally let go of his twisted hands.
Standing up, Luo Jialin simply brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes with his hand. He did not believe Wang Qianjin's words easily, but remained vigilant at all times to prevent him from attacking again.
"The matter is still under investigation. Even if she is highly suspected, it is not a reason for you to take action against her before the investigation is complete!"
"Is there anything that can't be said in a nice way? In a society ruled by law, if you dare to take action, you will suffer the consequences."
Standing up from the ground, Wang Qianjin wiped his nose and pointed at Shen Miao in dissatisfaction: “My mother is still lying in the hospital, I am here to settle accounts with her! My mother can’t suffer this in vain!”
"You still want to take action, right?" Luo Jialin moved his wrist and warned him again.
Realizing that he was no match for Luo Jialin, Wang Qianjin subconsciously shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Seeing that he had completely given up the idea of attacking Shen Miao, Luo Jialin then walked to the police and asked them: "How far has the investigation progressed?"
"We have already taken the statement and are going to arrange for someone to go to her home clinic for a checkup, and then to the hospital. We will let her go back when her condition gets better."
Luo Jialin nodded, "Okay."
Accepting, reviewing, processing, investigating... everything is legal and compliant, there are no problems.
Seeing that Luo Jialin’s shirt was wet in a large area and there were a few drops of rain on his hair, Shen Miao asked in a low voice: “Why are you here?”
"Your dad was worried about you, so he called me to come and help."
When Luo Jialin stretched out his hand, Shen Miao subconsciously wanted to hide, but he did not teach her a lesson like an elder, but handed over the brown paper bag he brought.
Inside was a light grey long coat, which must have been washed and dried some time ago. In addition to the scent of laundry, one could also smell the brightness of the sunshine.
"You stay at the police station tonight and check the situation tomorrow." Luo Jialin didn't mean to blame her, but just frowned, "It's raining and windy, cover yourself up when you sleep."
Shen Miao nodded, “Yeah, I understand.”
On the other hand, although Wang Qianjin couldn’t teach Shen Miao a lesson in his own way, he kept saying to the police: “You must interrogate her carefully and make her tell the truth! Police comrades, I beg you, it’s not easy for my mother to get pregnant at her age, you must not let this cruel Ni’er go!”
Looking at the way Wang Qianjin was asking the police, Shen Miao was furious.
It’s not easy to have a miscarriage, but is it easy to be wrongly accused for no reason and have to spend the night in the police station?
"I didn't harm your mother! Let's put it this way, whoever wants to harm your mother is a coward and a bastard, and he will be struck by lightning! Whoever wants to harm your mother will be struck by lightning by heaven!"
Rumble...!
As soon as Shen Miao finished speaking, bursts of thunder were heard outside.
But Shen Miao was not afraid at all, if she didn’t do it, she didn’t do it, she believed that God would never strike her down!
*
It was the first time that Shen Miao spent the night in the police station, and she couldn’t fall asleep.
Even though the door was closed and she was still wearing Luo Jialin's clothes, she could still feel the biting cold coming towards her from all directions.
Boom…
Boom boom...
The rain was about to stop in the evening, but suddenly it started to rain heavily again in the second half of the night. Muffled thunder rumbled one after another, like a man-eating demon lying on the clouds and whispering to the world.
At four or five o'clock, Shen Miao, who had been up all night, finally felt a little sleepy.
Just when I was about to take a nap and rest for a while, I suddenly heard hurried and messy footsteps outside.
"Everyone, go, call those who are on holiday and ask them to come back."
"The situation is urgent right now, quickly ask the branch to send someone for support!"
"Take everything you can get, and make sure you are safe first."
From their conversation, Shen Miao smelled some tension. The baton accidentally fell to the ground, and the "ping pong" sound gave her goose bumps.
Something must have happened, and it must be a big deal!
Shen Miao was about to put her ear against the wall to hear clearly what they were saying, when the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, bringing in a cool breeze mixed with moisture.
It’s Luo Jialin.
He was still wearing the same clothes he wore last night. The rain that had fallen on him had almost dried up, but it left a few barely noticeable water marks on his shoulders.
Did he stay in the police station last night and not go home?
"Something happened outside, I have to go there. There are two people on duty at the station, just call them if there is anything." Luo Jialin didn't say much, and left in a hurry after giving his instructions.
Shen Miao did not ask him what happened outside, fearing that it would delay his work, and just replied “OK”.
After Luo Jialin and most of the police officers left, the phone at the police station started ringing one after another.
Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!
Ding-ling~Ding-ling-ling~
There were so many calls that almost as soon as I hung up one, another one would come in.
The second half of the night should have been a time for good dreams, but looking at the situation at the police station, it was even more lively than the segment where people made phone calls to request programs at the Spring Festival Gala.
It was not until the sound of rain outside gradually died down and the pale sky came through the window that the police station's phone became quiet again.
“Did something happen?” Shen Miao asked the police officer who stayed at the police station when she went to the bathroom.
"Something happened in Nanguan Village," the police officer confessed to her what happened a few hours ago. "Several self-built houses collapsed due to the rain."
Shen Miao: ???
The rain lasted for several days in a row. Although it was not a continuous downpour, it put considerable pressure on Yu City's drainage system.
The water in some low-lying sections of the road has not been drained away, and the water accumulated on the ground will spread in all directions through infiltration.
The overall terrain of Yu City is high in the west and low in the east, and most of the accumulated water flows towards the east. The asphalt roads built in the city in recent years are fine, but the urban villages cannot withstand the pressure of rain. Even if the road is paved with cement slabs, mud will still come up after being soaked in rain for a long time.
However, those areas that are invisible to the naked eye are the most serious.
The foundation of the house.
Most of the buildings in Nanguan Village were not built with deep foundations, and can only support buildings of six or seven stories at most. However, in recent years, in order to increase the compensation area for demolition, every household has been expanding their own houses.
If you can cover it upwards, cover it. If you can’t cover it online, cover it from the side.
Most of the added buildings are only three or four stories high. In order to reduce construction time, there is no foundation. They are supported entirely by the connection with the main building. Building materials are also made to be as cheap as possible. After all, no one expects to live there for long.
This type of added "side building" is not safe in the first place. You can often see many concrete pillars supporting the first floor. Now, after being soaked by several days of rain, it is no different from a pool of soaked tofu dregs.
In fact, some villagers discovered the day before yesterday that the side building had a large crack caused by rain, and some broken sand could be seen on the ground exposed from the building, but no one took it seriously.
Until tonight, the sudden heavy rain became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Just like the dominoes being pushed over, once one falls, the second one will follow, and then the third one, the fourth one...
Originally, only the east side building that was under construction collapsed. I don’t know if it caused the ground to shake when it collapsed. Within half an hour, another side building two hundred meters away also collapsed, followed by the third building in the south...
In just one hour, a total of three side buildings collapsed, and one building did not collapse completely, but leaned against another building next to it. Even if the building they lived in was very solid, the sight of the side building falling on them would scare the residents inside.
The accident happened in the late night, at two or three in the morning, when every household was asleep. It goes without saying that the situation must have been very bad.
Not only Nanguan Village, but also another urban village close to Nanguan Village had a building collapse, but the situation was not as serious as in Nanguan Village.
After a house collapses, the first priority is to save people.
Fortunately, these landlords who added side buildings still have some conscience. Most of them use the rooms in the side buildings as warehouses, and only a few rooms are rented out at low prices to tenants who don't have much money, which reduces casualties to a certain extent.
Ambulances from the hospital rushed to Nanguan Village one after another, but the village was flooded and the cars could not drive in, so they had to rely on manpower to carry people out of the rubble.
Some people were shouting for help, some were busy rescuing people, some were helping the doctors carry the injured out, and some took out lights and emergency items from their homes and came to help...
It seemed that everyone was working together to save people, but this was a village in the city, a place where all kinds of people gathered, and many people were taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. It was not even a big deal to take the things they picked up home. Some even had no conscience and directly broke into houses and robbed them.
Anyway, it’s dark and you can’t see who it is, so you can just steal things and run away in the chaos, and no one will notice. Seeing that some people have tasted the sweetness, more and more people will follow suit and do these dirty things.
There were not enough police officers to help originally, and now they are even more overwhelmed.
As the saying goes, evil cannot prevail over good. Even if the scene is chaotic, it is only temporary and will be suppressed before long.
Doctors, police, firefighters, ordinary people... After the unremitting efforts of many parties, the situation was finally stabilized at dawn.
After a week of rain, it stopped.
At 9:30 in the morning, the sun finally shone through the dark clouds onto the land of Yu City.
When the weather clears up, good luck will naturally come.
This accident caused several people to be injured, but fortunately no one died. It was a blessing in disguise.
The hospital also called and said that Sun Hongxia was out of danger, so Shen Miao, who had been investigated, could go home temporarily and come to the police station for any follow-up information.
After coming out of the police station, Shen Miao did not go home immediately, but went to Nanguan Village.
The rescue work was over, but the scene still needed to be cleaned up. When Shen Miao arrived, many people were dragging wooden carts to pull out the building debris from the doors in four directions.
Although the rain had stopped, the accumulated water had not completely receded and was still deeper than the calf.
The accident that happened in the village last night only spread in the village today. Many people went to the scene to join in the fun, but were blocked outside by the cordon.
Shen Miao did not go there immediately, but went to Wang Qin and Zhou Qiang’s house first.
“Sister Shen~!”
I haven’t seen Zhaodi and her friends for a long time. The adorable little faces of the sisters are like brightly blooming flowers.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiang did not rent a side building at a low price for the sake of cheapness, and the landlord of the tube building did not add a few floors out of greed, so the nearby buildings were not affected by the accident in the early morning.
When Shen Miao arrived, Zhou Qiang had already gone to work at the construction site, and Wang Qin had gone to buy vegetables. She sat for a long time before she saw her coming back with two bags of vegetables.
"Let me tell you, something big happened in my village last night!"
Wang Qin brought back a lot of news when she went out to buy groceries.
Although she was not the type to join in the fun, what happened last night was so big that even though they lived half a street away, they could still hear the noise of the side building collapsing.
Moreover, everyone in the village was talking about this matter today. She didn't need to ask, as all kinds of news were coming into her ears.
"One of the collapsed side buildings belonged to the village deputy chief, and the other belonged to his relative. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Shen Miao curled her lips, “No wonder, they probably used the same material, so it’s not so strong.”
"That's right. I heard that the material was very tacky and would fall apart if you rubbed it with your hands. No wonder it collapsed after being exposed to the rain for a few days."
After drinking half a glass of water, Wang Qin continued, "Even if the material used was poor, at least there weren't many people living in the building. There were only six or seven people injured in total, and they were all minor injuries, no broken bones or anything serious."
"There are many injured people in the third building. There are still several people who have not been rescued yet. We don't know how badly they are injured."
According to Wang Qin, the third building was the first to collapse and had the most people living in it. It had four floors and twelve rooms in total, ten of which were rented out, and the other two were used to store sundries because they could not be rented out.
As a result, when the building collapsed, everyone inside was in trouble and had no time to escape.
“So, this person should not be too greedy,” while feeling sorry for the tenants, Shen Miao was also scolding the landlord who built the wing and rented the house to them, “Now they have to pay for it, and the medical expenses must be paid by the landlord.”
"By the way, who is the landlord?"
"Hiss... I don't remember. His last name is Wang, and his name is Wang something?"
king?
Shen Miao boldly guessed, “Could it be that his name is Wang Dafu?”
"Yes! It's Wang Dafu! How did you know?"
Shen Miao: !!!
Wang Dafu?
He is Sun Hongxia’s husband and Wang Qianjin’s father!
