The police officer flipped through the documents in his hand and said to Wang Xiaolan, "This is the diagnosis from the county hospital. It confirms that the baby was born prematurely. How do you explain this?"
When Wang Xiaolan heard this, she was very angry. Wang Xiaohua had clearly given birth to the child in the commune health center, so how could she get a diagnosis from the county hospital?
Wang Xiaolan scoffed and said, "That's easy. You can take the baby to a large hospital in the provincial capital for an examination, and then you'll know whose diagnosis is the real one."
"Zhao Sihai also provided testimony about Zhao Lihan's crime process."
Wang Xiaolan became even more angry and asked, "Do you believe what this old guy said?"
The police officer in charge weighed the document bag in his hand. "There's a stack of materials in here, all of which are reports against Zhao Lihan. This is very disadvantageous to you."
"Zhao Sihai and Huang Jinhua, they've caused trouble in my house more than once. The whole village knows about it. This time they're doing it again, only they've changed the location to your Public Security Bureau."
The police officer in charge of the interrogation had heard about this matter a long time ago and was forced to do so.
He whispered to Wang Xiaolan, "The higher-ups have given us a heads-up on this case."
When Wang Xiaolan heard this, she knew that it must be Captain Shi who was behind the scenes. Since he could do whatever he wanted in this small town, she had no choice but to use her trump card to let him see who was more powerful.
…
Thinking of this, she asked politely, "Can I borrow your phone?"
"You can make the call, but it must be under our surveillance."
"Sure, please connect me to the Criminal Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau and ask for Liu Feng."
The public security officer was shocked and thought, "She actually has connections in the provincial capital? This case looks like it's going to be difficult to handle."
After the call was connected, the person on the other end of the phone answered, Liu Feng, I’m on a business trip.
Wang Xiaolan asked to contact the provincial and municipal public security bureau to look for Liu Pei, but the answer she got was that he was on a business trip.
Wang Xiaolan was completely disappointed. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Xiaoli from the city song and dance troupe.
She asked to call again, but the police officer said impatiently, "This is the last time."
"Okay, if I can't get through on this call, I'll give up."
The call was finally connected, and Xiaoli's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wang Xiaolan briefly recounted what happened here.
After Xiaoli learned about it, she replied, "Don't worry, Doctor Wang. I believe in Zhao Lihan's character. He must have been framed. I will find a way to contact Liu Pei."
After Wang Xiaolan hung up the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiaolan returned to the interrogation room. The officer who had been interrogating her said, "While you were on the phone, the Complaints and Appeals Office sent us another bunch of reports. They're very damaging to you. If you have any new evidence, submit it immediately, or we'll send your materials to the court for a decision."
Wang Xiaolan tentatively asked, "Comrade Public Security, can I act as a guarantor? Can we let Zhao Lihan go home?"
"Your situation is quite special. Zhao Lihan cannot go home. I hope you can understand this."
"Because his head injury hasn't fully recovered yet, I'm worried about his condition."
"Don't worry about that. We will arrange his food and accommodation."
…
Wang Xiaolan returned home in a bad mood. She ate some dinner downstairs and went upstairs alone.
She entered the space, walked around, sighed, and sat down on a chair in front of the open-air coffee table, recalling that more than ten hours ago, the two of them were here, talking and laughing.
When she thought of this, tears streamed down her face.
Xiaoyi came over with a cup of tea.
"Doctor Wang, you look so sad. Why don't you go inside and see him? He's the only one in the room, and the person guarding him is dozing off in the corridor outside."
Wang Xiaolan looked surprised and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xiaoyi nodded, pointed to the path in the garden, and said, "If you go in from this place, you can bypass the guards."
Wang Xiaolan appeared in Zhao Lihan's room as Xiaoyi said.
There was only a bowl of cold rice on the table, which showed that he was hungry.
Zhao Lihan was lying on the bed on his side.
Wang Xiaolan patted his back gently. When Zhao Lihan turned around and saw Wang Xiaolan, he almost exclaimed.
They hugged each other tightly, and although they were only apart for a few hours, it felt like a long century.
Wang Xiaolan took out a piece of bread from her bag and put it into his mouth: "I brought this from the space specially, just in case you can't eat."
Zhao Lihan opened his mouth, took a big bite of bread, and whispered in Wang Xiaolan's ear: "Wife, it's delicious."
"It's delicious, eat more. I have more here."
"Wife, I'm sorry to have frightened you and made you worry about me." Zhao Lihan choked.
Wang Xiaolan patted his back gently and said soothingly, "I know everything. After you left, I went to the commune clinic and found the medical records of Wang Xiaohua giving birth that day. Without my medicine, the two of them wouldn't be alive today."
"Wife, stay away from people like this in the future."
"Huang Jinhua dared to frame you because Captain Shi was behind it."
"When I was brought in by the police, I had already seen them and understood what was going on. These people are extremely shameful."
"Lihan, don't worry, their conspiracy won't succeed with me here."
"Wife, I know you won't stand idly by. I can only rely on you to deal with what's happening outside."
"You can eat what you are supposed to eat and drink what you are supposed to drink here."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I've called Xiaoli, and she'll contact Liu Pei, who's on a business trip, as soon as possible. I don't think it will be long before they arrive here with the evidence."
…
It was already late when Wang Xiaolan came out of the space. She walked aimlessly and unknowingly reached the foot of the mountain behind the village. It was pitch black. She was turning around to walk back when she suddenly heard a groan coming from the haystack not far ahead.
I thought to myself, "Who is sick here at this late hour?"
She followed the sound and walked quickly towards the haystack in front. Just when she was about to get closer, she felt that the sound was wrong, so she stopped and listened carefully. It turned out to be the sound of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman.
At this time, a woman's voice came: "Bad water, try harder."
The man gasped and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Very good, comfortable, and still as strong as ever."
"With you, I feel like a man."
"Isn't the person in your family cooperating with you?"
"Don't mention her. It makes me sick."
…
When Wang Xiaolan heard the familiar voice, she wondered if it was Huang Jinhua and Captain Shi?
I cursed in my heart: "These two old guys are so shameless and are still having an affair outside."
Wang Xiaolan looked disgusted and turned to leave.
Just then, Huang Jinhua's voice came from behind, and Wang Xiaolan had to stop.
