Chapter 268: Blessings and Disasters
"Okay." Since it was the police taking the statement, Tu Ran would definitely cooperate.
The moment the police took out the photo, she recognized it. It was indeed that woman.
Both she and Doctor Sun had a deep impression of that woman. After all, she was very arrogant and rude at first.
Later, Tu Ran was the one who received us throughout the whole process.
"Miss Tu, take a look. Do you know the deceased, Li Min?"
“She did come to our clinic.”
"Was Doctor Sun there at the time?"
"Yes, they are all here, but I was the one who treated this patient. Doctor Sun was busy with other things later." Tu Ran said.
"Does your store have surveillance?"
"Yes, I'll find it for you." Tu Ran nodded and immediately found the video of that day for the police.
The video shows that the woman did come in once, and Tu Ran even took her pulse, but she didn't stay for long.
The two middle-aged policemen looked at each other.
"Did she say anything to you then?"
"There's nothing else except the illness."
"She's pregnant, did you know?"
Tu Ran nodded, "I know. I even took her pulse and told her there were signs of miscarriage. I told her to go to a big hospital for a checkup as soon as possible for her health."
"Apart from this, is there anything else?"
"That's gone."
"Ms. Tu, I saw in the video that she suddenly knelt down in front of you. What did she say?" The policeman pointed carefully to a certain part of the surveillance video.
"She asked me to help preserve the fetus."
“But I can’t keep the baby.”
"Because she used some strong drugs, which is very harmful to her body. I warned her."
"Do you know what medicine it is?"
"There is no specific name, and this wild herb is not recorded in books now." Tu Ran replied.
"Did she tell me where she got these medicines?"
"She seemed to say it was her mother's friend or something, but I wasn't paying attention. You can ask her mother. I think she'll know more than we do."
"Her mother hanged herself at home early yesterday morning."
"What?" Tu Ran was stunned again.
"According to our investigation, Li Min had a rather miserable life. Her father died when she was young, and she had been dependent on her mother for many years. Two years ago, she worked as a waitress in a business KTV, but later quit. Then her finances improved, and she suddenly had enough money to buy a house and a car. We haven't seen any details about her business, and she didn't work. She lived in an upscale neighborhood before her death, and her neighbors said they weren't familiar with her and had never seen her socializing with anyone, though she did go out frequently."
"So mysterious." Tu Ran thought of the woman he met that day. She kept talking about the problem of having children, so he guessed that the father of the child in her belly was probably a big shot, and she was probably hooking up with a rich man.
"After Li Min's accident, her mother hanged herself in her small apartment. She was probably devastated by the loss of her daughter and had no hope of living."
"Then is it possible that the person who killed Li Min faked his suicide?" Tu Ran asked back.
The two policemen were stunned again. "We did suspect this, but we have no evidence. The room was tightly sealed, the door was locked, and there were no signs of a struggle. According to the witness, the last time they saw her mother leave was after she returned from the police station to give her statement, and she never left again."
"Can you tell me how Li Min died?" Tu Ran was indeed a little curious.
"It's really inconvenient to talk about this, as it will affect our handling of the case."
"All right."
"That's all you know, isn't it, Miss Tu?"
"Well, I told you all."
"Okay, thank you. Please sign here."
"If you think of anything else, don't forget to call me. This is my cell phone number." The police left a note with their phone number.
Then he asked Dr. Sun again, and the two policemen left.
Tu Ran and Doctor Sun looked at each other and both sighed.
"Uncle Sun, you are absolutely right. She died so soon."
"It's all fate." Old man Sun has become much more indifferent to life and death. After all, he is a doctor.
"So, it's still one corpse and two lives." Tu Ran sighed.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. She was so eager for quick success that she didn't hesitate to use her own children to climb the social ladder. This ending is not surprising. You know, wealth and danger always coexist. Everything is a blessing and a curse."
"That's the truth."
Li Min’s incident was just a small episode. Soon after Tu Ran delivered the meal, he drove back to the old house to see his grandmother.
The old lady was so happy to see her granddaughter-in-law coming back that she couldn't stop smiling.
Mrs. Xie's attitude has also changed, but she is not as enthusiastic as before. It can only be said that she is no longer stiff.
After school, Xie Jiatong saw Tu Ran and ran over directly.
"sister in law."
"Tongtong, how are you doing recently? School is starting so soon."
"Well, make up for it in advance."
"It's so curly when it's so small?"
"Dad said that this is what elite education is like. Happy education is something only children from poor families need."
"Your father just talks nonsense. He can't even study well himself, yet he dares to talk about elite education." The old lady complained angrily.
Among all the people in the Xie family, the one with the worst academic performance is the third uncle Xie Huaishan. Although he also studied abroad, his academic qualifications are very poor and not worthy of attention.
"Sister-in-law, you came back alone. Where is Brother Nancheng?" Xie Jiatong looked around.
"He's not off work yet."
"Sister-in-law, can you play with me for a while?"
"What to play?" Tu Ran smiled gently.
"Puzzles. My uncle bought me a new puzzle set. I love it. It's a Disney Princess set."
"Okay, let's go, puzzle."
Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Tu Ran simply took Xie Jiatong to the study to play puzzles.
Mrs. Xie was a little jealous when she saw her daughter-in-law was so enthusiastic about other people's children. "If you like children, just give birth to one yourself. Why bother looking after other people's children?"
"Why rush? You will definitely give birth in the future. Just don't be bothered by it when you do." The old lady smiled.
"I'm definitely not annoyed. As long as they're Nancheng's sons, I'd like ten of them." Mrs. Xie was really good to Xie Nancheng, her non-biological son. This was also what the old lady was most satisfied with.
In the evening
Xie Huaishan came home from get off work, prepared to change clothes, go to the old house for dinner, and then pick up his daughter.
Yang Xin suddenly blocked his way.
"What?"
"What's going on between you and Jin Yu?" Yang Xin asked angrily.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it matters. We haven't divorced yet, Xie Huaishan. I'll return your wife to you."
"You fucking still know that you are my wife. I have treated you well over the years, how have you repaid me? You gave me a big green hat, you bitch." Xie Huaishan pushed Yang Xin away.
"Xie Huaishan, you're going too far. How could you let Jin Yu pick up Tongtong?"
"Because all women are better than you."
"But she is Xie Nancheng's female secretary. Aren't you afraid that she is a spy and will betray you? Xie Huaishan, wake up. She is not a trustworthy person at all. You are inviting a wolf into the house. Maybe it is a torture trick by Xie Nancheng and Jin Yu. How can you believe it?" Yang Xin roared.
