Lin Xi was slightly surprised to see that he didn't recognize the other person.
If the crime wasn't committed by an acquaintance, could it be that there was a stranger who simply disliked Deng Tao's mother?
Just as she was thinking, a woman suddenly came in from outside the ward.
The woman liked the man who was about the same age as Deng Tao, had neat short hair, and was wearing a suit. He looked very capable.
She must have just come in from outside the hospital. Seeing that Lin Xi and Deng Tao were unfamiliar faces, she looked at them with a little caution, but did not speak to them. She walked past them a few steps and stopped by the bedside of the old man lying there.
After checking the condition of the person on the bed next to the ward, she breathed a sigh of relief, then took out her cell phone and made a call.
The call was quickly connected, and she frowned at the person on the other end.
"Sister Wang, where have you been? Why did you leave my dad alone in the ward? What if something happens to him?"
The person on the other end of the phone might have explained something, and the woman suppressed her anger.
"Oh, come back soon."
As soon as she hung up the phone, the woman didn't say a word to Lin Xi and Deng Tao.
Then she began to wipe the cheeks of her husband on the bed, massage his muscles and exercise his body.
When she fished out her father's other hand hidden under the quilt, Lin Xi's eyes focused and instantly locked onto the red rope hanging on the woman's mother's wrist.
The moment he saw the red rope, something suddenly flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
She said to Deng Tao: "Come out for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Deng Tao hurriedly left the ward with her.
When she got to the first floor, Deng Tao immediately asked her, "Master, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi: "Before your mother got sick, did she ever pick up any money?"
Picking up money?
Deng Tao was stunned and quickly recalled.
It seemed like he hadn't heard his mother say that she had picked up any money.
Just when he was about to deny it, he suddenly remembered something.
He didn't know whether his mother had picked up any money, but it seemed that she had been particularly generous recently and had been buying things every day during those few days.
She bought snacks that her eldest grandson liked, fresh seafood, and new clothes for the whole family.
At that time, Deng Tao and his wife were wondering why the old lady had bought so many things, but his mother smiled and told them not to worry about it and just wait and see.
Thinking that his mother wasn't the kind of person who would cheat or deceive others, the two of them didn't think much about it.
Anyway, this money definitely wasn't cheated or stolen by him.
Maybe she invested her pension and made a little money.
Afterwards, Deng Tao didn't take it to heart. But after hearing what Lin Xi said, he suddenly realized that it was possible that his mother was so generous in buying things for the family at that time. The money was not earned by her, but picked up by her!
"Does this have anything to do with my mother's illness?"
Deng Tao looked at Lin Xi uncertainly.
It's impossible that his mother picked up other people's money and the man was unhappy, so he deliberately targeted his mother.
Now that he knows who picked up the money, he can just ask that person to return it, or call the police!
How could it be this way?
Deng Tao couldn't figure it out at the moment.
Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "Because your mother picked up the money for borrowing birthday money."
Borrowing birthday money?!
