Chapter 194 Going to the Hospital for a Checkup
Everyone's attention was focused on the case, so no one heard what was being said outside.
I could only faintly hear hurried footsteps and things like "dead" and "go check it out."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Captain Sun frowned as well. "Let's go take a look."
When the group caught up to the outside, they saw a large group of dozens of people running towards the entrance of the residential compound.
Now everyone's anxiety finally subsided.
Judging from this situation, there must have been another murder!
At that moment, Jiang Si spotted the second son in the crowd.
“Weimin”.
Hearing someone call his name, the second son immediately stopped.
Upon seeing that it was a beautiful aunt, he immediately ran back with a scurry scurry.
Before he could even speak, Captain Sun looked over with a serious expression.
"Young comrade, where did you find the body?"
The second child blinked, sensing that the uncle's question was a bit off.
But her body responded faster than her mind, "The seaside."
Captain Sun gave a knowing look and then asked, "Was the deceased male or female?"
Um?
The second child frowned, finally understanding why something was wrong.
"It wasn't a person who died."
Not human?
What is that?
Captain Sun felt completely confused.
The second son said, "It's a fish."
"You mean, a fish died on the beach?"
"yes."
Jiang Si was puzzled as to why these people were so happy about the death of just a fish.
They rushed forward with incredible speed, each carrying a basket.
Just then, the second son said, "That's no ordinary fish!"
He gestured, "It's as big as a boat."
Jiang Si: "You mean whales?"
“Yes.” The second son nodded. “If we boil this down, we can make soap and use it to light oil lamps.”
Typhoons occur on the island every summer, and power outages can last for up to a week.
Pick a piece of fatty whale meat; it will last a long time!
The second child looked excited. "Auntie, are you going? That fish is huge. If we go now, we can get a lot."
Jiang Si neither said she would go nor she wouldn't go; she simply asked a question.
Does your mother agree to let you go?
"..."
The second child immediately wilted.
Captain Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
The others who followed had the same reaction.
Thank goodness, they were really scared to death just now.
If another murder were to occur during the Lunar New Year, they would all be doomed.
After confirming that no murders had occurred, Captain Sun did not stay any longer. After chatting for a few more minutes, he prepared to take his leave.
Before leaving, Captain Sun took a pair of enamel mugs and fifty yuan from his briefcase and handed them to Jiang Si.
This will provide clues for solving the case, and the public security system will give some rewards as appropriate.
Jiang Si was not only a witness in this case, but also provided them with many clues during the subsequent investigation.
Otherwise, this case would have to drag on for at least another one to two months.
After receiving the reward, Jiang Si glanced at her listless little brother.
"Want some popsicles? Auntie will treat you."
Perhaps due to pregnancy, she feels extremely hot and restless every day and craves cold foods.
Fortunately, popsicles from that era didn't have many additives, so it was okay to eat one occasionally.
Of course, the premise is that Uncle San and Uncle Zhong cannot see it.
Upon hearing that there would be popsicles to eat, the second child nodded vigorously, "Yes! Thank you, Auntie."
The two went to the service center.
Jiang Si paid for two red bean popsicles.
A moment later, the salesperson opened the white wooden box, took out two popsicles with wisps of white steam, and handed them over.
Jiang Si tore off the outer layer of wax paper. "Here you go, take it."
The second child took a sip, his eyes narrowing into crescents, "So sweet."
"Let's go home."
The two walked back, chatting and laughing as they ate their popsicles.
If you're unlucky, even drinking cold water can cause problems.
Just as Jiang Si was about to arrive home, she spotted her third uncle and Uncle Zhong.
Fortunately, they were facing away from him at that moment.
So, Jiang Si quickly ate the popsicle in her hand.
The speed was so fast that even the youngest son was dumbfounded.
He thought that only children would secretly eat popsicles.
I never thought that even now that I'm grown up, I still have to eat it secretly.
As if sensing something, Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong suddenly turned around.
The second son glanced at his third uncle and Uncle Zhong, then at Jiang Si, who was so cold she couldn't even speak.
"Auntie—"
Jiang Si: "What's wrong?"
The second child blinked, gesturing for her to look ahead.
This scene is just like when I'm daydreaming in class and then my deskmate reminds me.
It's hard for Jiang Si not to guess what will happen next.
There's no use in being anxious now that things have come to this.
Jiang Si obediently finished the popsicle in her mouth, then smiled and said, "Third Uncle—"
Seeing her sneak around while eating an ice pop, Uncle San was both annoyed and amused.
With the younger brother present, he couldn't say anything.
After the second child finished her popsicle and returned home, the third uncle angrily tapped her forehead.
"All those words I said a few days ago were wasted."
He didn't want to say that what you're doing is bad for the baby in your belly.
I didn't want to say anything to scare her.
She simply said, "You're newly pregnant, so your stomach and intestines are quite sensitive. You should eat less cold food."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard gate made a soft sound.
Jiang Si looked up towards the door and saw a familiar figure standing there.
Huo Tingzhou probably didn't get much rest during his time away.
He looked extremely tired, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Before Jiang Si could speak, he had already put down his pack.
As they approached, Huo Tingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice rapid yet tinged with uncertainty.
"I think I just heard Third Uncle say that you are pregnant."
People who are newly pregnant are more prone to emotional fluctuations, and upon hearing this, Jiang Si couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
After a long pause, she hummed in agreement. "It should be."
After speaking, he pointed to the calendar on the wall and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
She said, "My period is already half a month late."
Huo Tingzhou knew that her periods were always very regular.
If it's delayed by half a month, then she must be pregnant.
Suppressing his inner elation, he asked again, "Have you been to the hospital for a checkup? What did the doctor say? How has your appetite been these past few days? Have you felt unwell anywhere?"
Here we go again!
Jiang Si quickly interrupted him, "We haven't gone to the hospital yet. Sister-in-law Hu said that the pregnancy is too early, and the results won't be accurate if we go now."
"My appetite has been just as good as before lately. Haven't you noticed how round my face has become?"
She is a bit rounder, but that doesn't detract from her extraordinary beauty.
It's even prettier than before.
Previously, she possessed a bright and striking beauty, but now she exudes an indescribable gentleness and warmth.
Jiang Si originally wanted to go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning, but Huo Tingzhou couldn't wait a moment longer.
He immediately said, "There are fewer people at the hospital right now, let's go there now."
"Is it okay to go now?" Jiang Si seemed to remember that she had to fast before going to the hospital for this test.
"Yes, it's possible," Huo Tingzhou said confidently.
What tests should be done during pregnancy, when can the fetal heartbeat be detected, and at what time should an ultrasound be performed?
He had already inquired about these issues in detail with Dr. Jiang two weeks ago.
He also recorded everything that needed to be noted during pregnancy.
"Let's go now."
Uncle San and Uncle Zhong had been keeping this matter in mind, saying, "The sooner we get a checkup, the sooner we can have peace of mind."
Jiang Si was somewhat tempted by what she heard and finally nodded.
Dr. Jiang hadn't finished get off work yet at this hour. When she saw the two of them coming together, she immediately showed a knowing expression.
She said that a while ago, Commander Huo suddenly came over and asked her a bunch of questions.
It seems the young couple is pregnant.
"Let's do a urine test first."
Dr. Jiang handed the completed form to Huo Tingzhou; the urine test results would take more than an hour.
Taking advantage of the free time, Dr. Jiang gave the young couple some instructions.
In fact, she had already discussed these issues with Huo Tingzhou before, but he insisted on reviewing the old to learn something new.
Helpless, Dr. Jiang had no choice but to repeat the whole story again.
