Li Banfeng sat in the ward, looking at He Jiaqing lying on the hospital bed.
After two days of rescue, He Jiaqing's life was saved, but he fell into a deep coma and it was unknown when he would wake up.
The cause of the coma is unknown and the hospital has not developed a plan for the next stage of treatment.
According to the hospital, the next stage of treatment plan depends on He Jiaqing's physical condition and the wallets of Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing.
Li Banfeng used up all his living expenses, and even after deducting the part reimbursed by medical insurance, it was still a drop in the bucket.
He Jiaqing has some savings on his card, but he cannot withdraw it for the time being because he doesn’t know the password.
Li Banfeng tried to contact He Jiaqing's family. Although the two had a good relationship, Li Banfeng did not know his family's contact information. He didn't even have Lu Xiaolan's contact information.
If this continues, Li Banfeng will not even have his next meal, and He Jiaqing's oxygen tube may not be able to be kept.
Fortunately, on the third day, things took a turn for the better and a man named He Haisheng appeared.
He claimed to be He Jiaqing's third uncle. Although Li Banfeng had never met this uncle, it didn't matter. This uncle paid for He Jiaqing's medical expenses first.
People who give money voluntarily are most likely not scammers, of course, provided that they really give it.
"Your name is Li Banfeng, right? I heard from the school that you have been taking care of Jiaqing these two days. Thank you for your hard work." He Haisheng peeled an apple for Li Banfeng.
"This is what happened..." Li Banfeng took a bite of an apple and was about to tell what happened when he was interrupted by He Haisheng.
"We'll talk about other things later." He Haisheng took out his wallet and gave a stack of cash to Li Banfeng. "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
Li Banfeng really needed money because he had no money to eat.
But he didn't want to take the money: "I'm not short of money, Jiaqing is in need of money now."
"I don't mean anything else, it's just a little token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, it means you think it's too little!" He Hai stuffed the money into Li Banfeng's pocket forcefully.
After sitting in silence for a while, He Haisheng sighed: "The school told me to call home and say that Jiaqing was in trouble. I thought my second brother and sister-in-law would come as soon as possible, but it turned out that neither of them was reliable.
It's my fault for being late and making you tired, Banfeng, go back and have a rest, I'll be there for you."
Li Banfeng left the ward. He hadn't slept much for three days and was indeed tired. His legs felt weak as he walked in the hospital corridor.
When I was almost at the elevator, my cell phone suddenly rang.
Click~
It was a message, and the number displayed was still He Jiaqing.
Li Banfeng frowned immediately.
The message still contained those four words: "Brother, save me."
Li Banfeng replied: "Who are you?"
"I'm He Jiaqing."
"Where did you get this phone?"
Li Banfeng sent He Jiaqing to the station. After He Jiaqing got on the train, he suddenly appeared on his bed. Before that, Li Banfeng had called He Jiaqing, and after that, He Jiaqing sent a message to Li Banfeng again.
This matter was very strange, so strange that Li Banfeng could not understand the logic behind it.
But no matter how strange the process is, the result in front of us will not change.
He Jiaqing was lying in the hospital. Although he had neither ID nor mobile phone on him, that was He Jiaqing and Li Banfeng would not make a mistake.
So here comes the question.
Who answered the phone before?
Who is sending the message now?
The only reasonable explanation is that He Jiaqing's mobile phone was lost, and the person who got his phone answered Li Banfeng's call that night, imitated He Jiaqing's voice, deceived Li Banfeng, and is now sending messages to Li Banfeng.
He picked up the phone, why did he contact me?
Isn't this a typical scam?
This matter should be reported to the police.
Li Banfeng felt that there must be some connection between He Jiaqing's coma and this person.
The other party didn't reply to the message for a long time.
The elevator is here.
Li Banfeng put away his phone and was about to go downstairs when a middle-aged man with a broad forehead, slender cheeks and a thin body blocked his way.
He smiled at Li Banfeng and took out his ID from his pocket: "I am a policeman. Your name is Li Banfeng, right? I have a few questions about He Jiaqing."
The man looked to be in his fifties, with a duck voice. When he spoke, it was as if there was a piece of phlegm in his throat.
I was about to call the police when they showed up...
Li Banfeng really wanted to take a closer look at the other party's ID. The middle-aged man took the ID back into his arms and whispered a few words to the doctor in a white coat next to him.
The doctor seemed to be very familiar with him. He took the middle-aged man and Li Banfeng into an empty ward.
The doctor closed the door outside the ward, leaving only Li Banfeng and the middle-aged man in the ward, sitting opposite each other on two adjacent beds.
"Don't be nervous," the middle-aged man said with a smile, "My last name is Chen, you can just call me Lao Chen. I just want to ask you a few simple questions. It was you who sent He Jiaqing to the hospital, right?"
"It's me." Li Banfeng nodded.
"How did you find out that something was wrong with him?"
"He was sleeping on my bed, his face and breathing were not normal, I called emergency services immediately."
Old Chen nodded, looked Li Banfeng up and down, and his eyes changed slightly.
He was looking at Li Banfeng's face, but not at Li Banfeng's eyes, but at Li Banfeng's forehead.
"I heard that you drank together that day?"
"Yes!" Li Banfeng nodded, "He is going home, I will see him off."
"You're seeing him off?"
"Yes, I sent him to the train station and took the subway back. When I got to the dormitory, I suddenly found him sleeping on my bed."
What Li Banfeng said was totally unreasonable.
How could He Jiaqing appear in the dormitory after he went to the train station? And on Li Banfeng's bed?
Old Chen was not surprised by this answer. He looked easygoing and still focused his eyes on Li Banfeng's forehead:
"Do you and He Jiaqing usually have conflicts?"
Is there any contradiction?
Li Banfeng thought about it carefully.
I have seen some photos of his girlfriend. Is this a contradiction?
This is obviously not the point.
The key point is the hidden meaning of this sentence.
Li Banfeng looked at Lao Chen and said calmly, "Do you suspect that I harmed He Jiaqing?"
Old Chen shook his head: "I can't say I doubt you, I'm just asking. If I really doubted you, I wouldn't be here to question you. I heard that you have some mental problems?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "There is a problem, but I am not crazy. You can check my medical records.
I sent He Jiaqing and Lu Xiaolan on the same train and returned to their hometown together. You can check this with Lu Xiaolan."
"Lu Xiaolan..." Old Chen took out a cigarette, looked at the environment in the ward, felt that it was not appropriate to smoke, and put it back into the cigarette box.
"Who is the Lu Xiaolan you just mentioned?" Old Chen asked.
"She is He Jiaqing's girlfriend. We went to the same school together. I sent them both to the station together. She got on the same train with He Jiaqing. She can testify for me."
"Since both of them were in the car, why did He Jiaqing go to your dormitory again?"
"I don't know," Li Banfeng answered truthfully, "You should ask Lu Xiaolan about this matter. They have always been together."
"Do you have Lu Xiaolan's contact information?"
"I don't have it. I can check it at the school. I'm sure I can check the ticket information as well."
"Which train did they take?"
"How would I know that..." Li Banfeng thought about it, and a string of numbers suddenly appeared in his mind.
Train 1160.
"Train No. 1160, the train No. 1160 they were on." Li Banfeng remembered the voice of the platform announcer.
Old Chen rubbed his lips with his fingers. With his thoughts stuck in a dead end, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette: "It seems that Lu Xiaolan is not easy to find."
"Why is it hard to find?" Li Banfeng didn't understand what Lao Chen meant.
Old Chen continued to stroke his stubble-covered upper lip and said slowly, "On the night of He Jiaqing's accident, Train No. 1160 derailed and fell off a cliff. No survivors have been found on the train so far."
Li Banfeng blinked his eyes. There seemed to be thunder rolling in his mind. Between the thunders, He Jiaqing's voice kept repeating:
"She sleeps better than me. She sleeps soundly, more soundly than a pig. She can't wake up even if the train derails!"
The train really derailed.
Lu Xiaolan might really be dead.
Has He Jiaqing’s mouth been blessed?
Or did he already know something?
He seemed to have told me that Lu Xiaolan was lying to him.
Isn’t it just because of Teacher Song’s peaches?
He asked me to go back to the dormitory and call him. Why?
Old Chen continued to stare at Li Banfeng's forehead and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything, I was just worried about Lu Xiaolan."
Old Chen was very interested in this: "How is your relationship with Lu Xiaolan? Is there something between you two and He Jiaqing..."
"Are you talking about a love triangle?" Li Banfeng's mouth curled up, he was a little angry.
