Chapter 673 Fainting When Crying
A policeman who was watching the surveillance video with us smiled at us awkwardly and said, "Sorry, this is an intern. He is here to practice with his master today. He doesn't usually do this. The team has been busy promoting the app recently, and this kid has become a little obsessed.
By the way, have you two installed it on your phones? If not, I'll install one for you." He pulled out a QR code from his pocket...
The young policeman's mentor on the screen stroked his forehead and said seriously, "Zhou Qing, continue your story. What happened next? Did you see that man?"
Zhou Qing shook his head. "I've never met that person. He used a virtual internet number, so only he could contact me. I couldn't contact him."
"You can't even contact him, and you still dare to do things for him?" The police instinctively doubted everything.
"He paid me a 50,000 yuan deposit first, and said he would pay me another 50,000 yuan after the deal was done."
Hearing this, the police perked up, "How did he pay?"
"He sent it to me by express delivery. The money was placed in a hollowed-out English-Chinese dictionary, sealed with heat shrink film. There was nothing unusual about it. Two mifepristone pills were also delivered with it."
The trainee police officer asked, "How do you know it's mifepristone and not some other poison?"
Zhou Qing looked up, a little bewildered. "It's written on the packaging. I even did a Baidu search and confirmed that this pill, aside from causing miscarriage in pregnant women, would only cause irregular menstruation for others. That's why I dared to do this."
Upon hearing this, the police officer's brows furrowed even more, and he tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something. He continued, "How was the package delivered to you? Are there any special details?"
Zhou Qing recalled, his tone hesitant. "The courier was delivered directly to the Imperial Banquet Hall. The recipient's address was handwritten, and the sender's information was blank. I even asked him where the package was from, and he said someone stopped him on the street and gave him fifty yuan to help deliver it."
The trainee policeman said excitedly: "Master, I think this courier is very suspicious! Do you want to ask him?" He looked eager to try.
The older policeman glared at him and cursed in a low voice: "Do you even need to tell me that?" He pushed the door open and said a few words to the police outside before returning to the interrogation room.
He looked at Zhou Qing and asked, "Go on, how did you get the medicine into the bitter melon juice?"
Zhou Qing lowered his head, his voice becoming increasingly quiet. "I was afraid of being seen, so I hid in a corner, crushed the pills in an empty wine bottle, and put them in. Then I asked the waitress, Xiao Zhang, to bring the bitter melon juice, and specifically told her to give it to the lady in the beige suit..."
"Does she know you put the drug in?"
"I didn't tell her. I just said I'd give her five thousand dollars if she could do it."
Hearing this, my mother suddenly said, "Sisi doesn't have that much money on hand, she couldn't have done this."
My dad was completely confused. "What did you say? Are you doubting Sisi? Are you talking about the one who lives in our house?"
I rolled my eyes at my dad. "What's the matter? Do you know another Sisi out there?"
My dad quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I only deal with men and don't know any women." Ever since my dad found out my mom was pregnant, he had a strong desire to survive and even only fed the male neighbor's dog.
My mother's words caught the police's attention. "Do you have a suspect?"
I looked at my mother. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously as if she had made up her mind. "Yes, I suspect my niece."
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was really afraid that my mother would still protect Deng Sisi indiscriminately. Now it seems that the baby in her belly is more important than Deng Sisi.
I felt a little uncomfortable. Deng Sisi was finally about to fall out of favor, but then another younger one came along. It seems that I am not destined to be favored.
Forget it, considering that I will soon be worth nine figures, I won’t bother with a fetus whose gender I don’t even know.
When the police heard what my mother said, they immediately became alert and asked, "Can you tell me more about your niece's situation? Why did she do this?"
My mother sighed, her eyes a little complicated. "Deng Sisi is my sister's daughter. She grew up in my house. My sister passed away, and I have always loved her very much. She...she probably thought that if I had another child, she would fall out of favor. But I never thought she would do such a thing..."
"Is there any evidence for your guess?"
My mother looked at me, and I took out my phone and showed the police the surveillance video.
"Judging from the video, Deng Sisi is indeed a serious suspect. We will bring her in for questioning."
The police station was not far from my home, and the police were very efficient. They brought Deng Sisi here in no time.
Deng Sisi probably didn't expect her plan to fail so quickly. When she passed by the interrogation room and saw us sitting inside, she immediately shouted, "Auntie, what happened? Why did the police bring me here for questioning?"
This time, my mother just looked at her coldly and said, "If you still have any conscience, answer the police's questions honestly." After that, she no longer looked at her.
At first, Deng Sisi denied everything and denied all charges related to the shoes and the drugging.
"I don't know what you're talking about. What does it have to do with me if the shoes are of poor quality and the soles are worn out?
The restaurant drugged my aunt. Why are you looking for me instead of arresting the person who drugged her? I'm not the restaurant owner."
Seeing her like this, the police started to scare her while pretending to be good people. Unexpectedly, as soon as they scared her, Deng Sisi burst into tears, and she looked so pitiful.
The older policeman was fine, but the young trainee policeman was at a loss when he saw her crying.
Unexpectedly, Deng Sisi fainted while crying, and the police were so scared that they quickly arranged to send her to the hospital.
"Is she pretending? Her acting skills have improved." I didn't believe she was really dizzy. I had never seen her faint after crying before.
My mother couldn't sit still any longer. "I'm the director of the Department of Internal Medicine at the First People's Hospital. Let me take a look."
The police hurried to make room for my mother. After checking for a while, my mother said, "She's definitely fainted. Remember to remind the emergency doctor to draw blood first."
Deng Sisi was sent to the hospital where my mother worked. The emergency doctor was a student taught by my mother. He had met Deng Sisi when she went to the hospital to see my mother.
Not long after, my mother received a call. I leaned over to listen with a shy face. My mother looked at me and let me listen next to her.
Then a young man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher Lin, your niece has woken up and she's fine, but there's one thing you need to know: she's pregnant."
I was shocked. Is it breeding season? How come one or two of them are pregnant?
I looked at Xiao Shiqiu with a somewhat unfriendly look. It seems that I need to re-evaluate the safety of contraceptive measures.
