Wang Xiaolan took the bottle from the police officer, her expression grave as she carefully examined the packaging. Then, she unscrewed the cap, poured out the pills, and sniffed them gently. Suddenly, her brow furrowed.
She looked up at the nervous captain and said, "Go to the warehouse and get the fourth batch of medicine."
Wang Xiaolan looked carefully at the pills in her hand. They were of varying shades of color and size. They were obviously mixed with other medicines.
At this moment, the captain took out the medicine from the warehouse and handed it to Wang Xiaolan.
She unscrewed the bottle cap and placed the two different pills on the table so that everyone could see and compare them.
"Public Security, look, the difference between these two drugs is obvious! You can send them to the provincial capital for testing. If this is our fault, we will absolutely not shirk responsibility. We will handle it as it should be handled, and we will accept the punishment."
Wang Xiaolan came up to Granny Gong and asked, "Are you sure this medicine is from our pharmaceutical factory?"
"I'm sure."
"I just don't understand. The medicines in our factory are not sold in retail. They are only supplied to hospitals. Pharmacies don't sell them either. So where do you get your medicine from?"
"It was prescribed for me by the doctor at the hospital."
"What did the doctor diagnose your old man's illness?"
"If it's a disease, it's a disease. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Grandma Gong obviously refused to cooperate with Wang Xiaolan's questions. Everyone in the village knew that her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford salt, so how could she afford to buy this medicine?
Wang Xiaolan continued to ask: "Which hospital?"
Grandma Gong did not give a direct answer, but cried loudly to the sky.
"It was your medicine that killed my old man..."
"Mother-in-law, you can't just say that. You need evidence."
"Isn't this evidence? You have to compensate me..."
"If there really is something wrong with my medicine, I will compensate you for your financial losses."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, but you have to tell me, what disease is this medicine used to treat your old man?"
"I can't read, so I don't know what medicine it is."
"When I was practicing medicine in the village, your old man came to see me. He had rheumatoid arthritis. It had nothing to do with this medicine."
She was speechless after Wang Xiaolan's question and pretended to faint.
Wang Xiaolan raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of a smile. She then took out a needle and said, "This needle is specifically for treating dizziness. However, as for those who pretend to faint, hehe, it's hard to say!"
When Grandma Gong on the ground heard this, she quickly opened her eyes.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw how miserable she looked.
Liu Pei took a walk around the pharmaceutical factory and came back to see Grandma Gong looking guilty. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone was instigating her from behind.
Liu Pei said seriously, "Don't harbor any hope. Tell the truth. After all, truth will come to light. Once we investigate, you won't be able to escape responsibility. Your only option now is to confess and receive leniency, or resist and receive severity."
She was originally crying, but after hearing what Liu Pei said, her body shook and her hands and feet began to tremble as if she had been electrocuted.
Liu Pei saw her little action clearly.
He asked Liu Feng beside him.
"Hey, I want to ask you a question. If someone is framed, how many years will they be sentenced to?"
"Then it'll be at least five years, right? Or ten? It depends on the situation. If it's serious, it's hard to say."
When Grandma Gong heard this, she turned pale with fear and thought to herself, "What will happen to my grandson if she is taken away?"
Liu Pei glanced at Grandma Gong who was sitting on the ground and said, "Old lady, you are so old. Once you go to jail, those who work for you will be implicated and fined to varying degrees.
Listen to my advice, just confess! You've made such a big fuss, can you afford to pay the wages of so many people? Will the person behind the scenes help you pay for it?
Liu Pei's words made the coffin bearers waver, fearing that they would not be able to eat the mutton and would get into trouble.
Someone among them shouted loudly.
"Granny Gong, please say something, or we'll have to leave."
When Granny Gong saw the helpers were about to leave, she immediately said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. I will pay you the wages I promised you, and I will pay you every penny."
Seeing that Grandma Gong refused to listen, Liu Pei was so angry that he punched the table with a loud "bang".
The loud noise startled everyone and they all looked at him.
"Don't pretend. You'd better confess now. We will send these medicines of yours to the provincial capital for testing immediately. Once the results come out, it will not be what it is today."
When Granny Gong heard a "clang" sound, she looked up and saw the shiny handcuffs on the table, which were so bright that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Her mouth moved and a word sounded in her ears.
"As long as you can get past the police, I'll give you 500 yuan."
She thought that as long as she could get through today, she would have 500 yuan tomorrow. This was an astronomical figure for her. She had to grit her teeth and bear the consequences for this huge sum of money.
What she never expected was that Liu Pei's words made her completely collapse.
"You're still holding on here, but they've already sold you out."
"..." Granny Gong was speechless
"We've given you the chance, so come with us to the Public Security Bureau!"
She originally thought that the police would not do anything to her because of her age, but when she heard that they were serious, she started to get scared.
"Comrade Public Security, I'll tell you everything."
She looked around, about to speak.
Liu Pei, ask all the idlers around to leave.
Grandma Gong finally spoke up: "Comrade Public Security, I have no choice."
She began to explain the cause of the incident: My old man had been ill for several months, and the family had no money to treat him, so I had to rely on collecting some herbs from the mountains and making medicine for him to drink. Not only did his condition not get better, but it became worse.
That day, when I came down from the mountain, I happened to meet Captain Shi. He said that if I cooperated with him to do something, he would give me 500 yuan after the task was completed. When I heard about such a good thing, I immediately agreed.
In the evening, he came to my house, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, and said, "Although this medicine cannot cure your old man's illness, it will make his illness worse and eventually lead to his death.
Hearing this, I was shocked. Isn't this murder? I didn't agree. He said your old man doesn't have many days left to live. It doesn't matter if he dies early or late. If you cooperate with me, you can get some money.
At this moment, I heard a violent cough behind me. I turned around and saw the old man staring at me with his mouth wide open...
I was so scared that I didn't know what to do, and the medicine bottle in my hand fell out of my hand...
“You…you…this is…”
