"Hehe, actually, now that you know I'm the author, you can guess a lot of things."
"Sister Peng, I am very sorry about what happened to your parents. So much time has passed, please accept my condolences!"
"Xiao Li, this isn't really the fault of your An Ding Division. It's just that the murderer is too clever. Who knows, he might actually have superpowers!"
"Sister Peng, we're practically family, so I'll just ask directly. Some details in your comics are very similar to things that our An Ding Si hasn't publicly revealed. I'd like to ask, what's going on here?"
Peng Yuanyuan feigned confusion and asked, "Which details are you referring to?"
Li Nan pointed to Ma Jie's back, "Poetry, poetry from Meiluo Academy!"
Peng Yuanyuan looked like she suddenly realized something. "You mean this? You know how I used to be with Brother Gao. He often hung this poem in the meeting room, and I just borrowed it. I even told him about it yesterday, and he didn't mind!"
Li Nan thought to herself, "Am I asking about the origin of the poem?"
"Sister Peng, what I want to ask is, how did you know that this poem would be engraved on the deceased's body!"
"Oh no, really? The killer actually did that?"
Even Ma Jie noticed Peng Yuanyuan's exaggerated performance, and pretended not to care as he looked around.
"I really didn't know anything about this. I was just drawing randomly." Peng Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, seemingly trying to squeeze out two tears, but it was no use.
"That's such a coincidence!"
Li Nan knew in her heart that Peng Yuanyuan could not be the murderer, but could these things be explained by mere coincidence?
Li Nan knew that asking any further questions would be pointless, so she told Peng Yuanyuan to take care of herself, offered a few words of comfort, and then left with Ma Jie.
In the corridor, Ma Jie voiced his doubts, "Captain Li, Peng Yuanyuan is clearly lying, why don't you expose her?"
Li Nan was furious. "You idiot! Even Xiong Sifu said that Peng Yuanyuan isn't the murderer. Besides, her parents were victims of the drowning case. Don't you have any conscience? Doesn't it hurt?"
The two arrived at Gao Siming's ward but couldn't find him. They asked the other patients in the ward and learned that his sister had taken him to get a checkup.
Li Nan was startled. "What kind of examination?"
So he dialed Gao Zimin's number, "Sister Zi, what's wrong with Brother Gao? What are you going to check?"
"Xiao Li, my brother's illness has relapsed!" Gao Zimin sobbed on the phone. Li Nan was also very surprised to hear that Gao Siming's illness had relapsed.
"How could that be!"
After asking them where they were over the phone, he quickly rushed out of the ward with Ma Jie.
When the two arrived at the CT room, they only saw Gao Zimin wandering alone by the wall.
"Sis, what happened? How could Brother Gao do that?"
Gao Zimin, having cried all her tears, forced a smile and said, "Xiao Li, it's okay. The doctor said this disease is prone to relapse, and I'll probably be fine after a few days of rest!"
As they spoke, the alloy door to the CT room opened, and the doctor inside said, "Gao Siming's family, come in and receive the patient!"
Let's do it!
Li Nan bypassed Gao Zimin and led Ma Jie into the CT room. Women should try to avoid going into such places.
On the MRI machine, Gao Siming had just been helped up and seated by a nurse.
"Family member of the patient, come and help!"
Li Nan and the other person rushed forward to help him up, only to find that Gao Siming was limp and powerless.
"I'll carry you on my back!"
Just as Ma Jie was about to push Gao Siming onto his back, Gao Zimin pushed the wheelchair in.
"There are still several tests to be done, so please use the wheelchair!"
Although we had two more people to help, the hospital was also full of patients, and it was already past 6 p.m. when all the tests were completed.
During the inspection, Li Nan also chatted with Gao Siming about what happened at noon.
Unexpectedly, Gao Siming and Peng Yuanyuan were talking about almost the same things, just catching up and discussing the new plot of the comic.
Li Nan originally planned to treat Gao Zimin to a casual meal, but Gao Siming still had one last lumbar puncture to take before he could return to his ward, and a family member would need to accompany him for six hours after the puncture.
The CT results won't be available until the attending physician comes to work tomorrow, and the lumbar puncture results will take even longer. Given the level of expertise at Tanhua City Hospital, it will take at least three days to get the results.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Nan said goodbye to the two. Before leaving, Li Nan asked Gao Zimin to tell her as soon as she learned the result.
Back at the Anding Division, Qin Wen had completed all her experiments.
The balloons are just ordinary hydrogen balloons. Although the country has now banned the addition of hydrogen to balloons, many merchants and vendors still do it secretly for petty profits.
The main advantage is that hydrogen is very easy to obtain; small vendors can produce it themselves at home.
What makes this case special is that a highly concentrated anesthetic was added to the hydrogen balloon.
This stuff is hard to get; aside from hospitals and legitimate laboratories, only some legal slaughterhouses would need it.
Huang Jun, the balloon merchant, was just an ordinary person; he probably didn't have any way to obtain these potions.
Qin Wen inquired about Gao Siming's condition, but Li Nan did not tell her about Gao Siming's relapse.
Just then, Yang Bairong arrived; the interrogation had already ended.
"This Huang Jun seems to be out of his mind. He actually said that someone asked him for a light, and that's how the accident happened."
Despite repeated interrogations, the balloon merchant's testimony remained consistent.
Someone asked him for a light, and he meant well but ended up doing something wrong. As for the anesthetic, he knew nothing about it.
