Chapter 221 A man with half his face burned
Li Ying waited until her son Chenchen's fever subsided a little before she asked Leng Yi to call Yang Mei and asked his mother to help take care of her. At this time, Xiang Mingren came.
Li Ying led Xiang Ming to Aunt Zhang's village.
At this time, they went to a small village and arrived at Aunt Zhang's house. Aunt Zhang was about to look for Li Ying.
"Girl Li, you are absolutely right. My grandson also had a high fever, but he got much better after taking the medicine you gave him."
"Aunt Zhang, go find the person in charge of your village now so that you can question the police officer."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Li Ying went in to check on Aunt Zhang's grandson first. After finding out that the condition was indeed not that bad, she prescribed some medicine for Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law.
Aunt Zhang has already called the village chief.
The village chief was terrified when he saw Xiang Ming: "Officer Xiang, what brings you to the village?"
Xiang Ming explained the details of the situation, and the village chief led Xiang Ming and Li Ying to the yard next door.
"Half a year ago, a very strange man suddenly showed up. He only had half his face left, horribly burned. He said he was from his hometown and wanted to stay here. I felt sorry for him, so I agreed. Coincidentally, this family was looking to rent out their house, so I rented it to him for 150 yuan a month. Even though his face was burned, he was very generous and gave me six months' rent right away."
Several people came to the gate and the village chief knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, he found that the door was locked from the outside.
"He's not at home. He must be out shopping."
Li Ying looked inside through the hollow gate. The yard was full of grass, with only a small path that could be used for traffic. If you didn't know, you would think it was a deserted house.
"Look at him, isn't he weird? When other people move in, they will clean up the weeds, but he not only doesn't clean them up, he also plants more flowers and plants in the yard. He also piled up some weird-shaped stones. I really don't understand." The village chief shook his head and sighed. He really couldn't figure out what this person was trying to do.
"Uncle Village Chief, do you know his name?"
"He gave the village rank the name Liang Jin."
Liang Jin?
Li Ying didn't remember this person's name, so he shouldn't be someone she knew.
"Village Chief Yu, when this person comes back, have him go to the police station to register his file."
"Okay, I'll tell him."
Xiang Ming and Li Ying couldn't wait for anyone, so they had to go back first.
"Do you think there's something wrong with that yard?"
"There's nothing wrong with the yard, it's the rocks," Li Ying told Xiang Ming. "Can you find a geologist?"
"Geological expert? Oh, and Mr. Ye is currently in Shanghai."
Mr. Ye?
Li Ying remembered that it was Tang Qiao's husband, Ye Jingchi's adoptive father, a geological expert who had been doing geological exploration outside.
Li Ying returned to the clinic, and what a coincidence, Tang Qiao and Ye Chengyi were there.
They came to see Chenchen, and when they learned that Chenchen was sick, they stayed to take care of the child with Yang Mei.
Ye Chengyi is in his fifties, dressed simply, and his face, weathered by the wind and sun, looks very old.
"Yingying, you're back? Come, let me introduce you, this is your father-in-law Ye Chengyi." Tang Qiao took Li Ying's hand and introduced Ye Chengyi.
"Hello, Uncle Ye." Li Ying did not call him father-in-law.
Tang Qiao was very embarrassed.
Yang Mei glared at Li Ying. This child is sometimes too straightforward.
Ye Chengyi laughed and said, "You can call me whatever you want. As your father-in-law, I have never shown my face since my son got married and my daughter-in-law gave birth. I am not qualified to be your father-in-law."
Yang Mei immediately smiled and said, "This girl has been spoiled by me."
"No, no, no, Sister Yang, you have raised your daughter very well. It is our Ye family that has let you and your daughter down."
"Okay, stop apologizing to each other."
Tang Qiao sat down, hugged Chenchen and said to Li Ying, "Yingying, I want to take Chenchen home to stay for a few days. What do you think?"
The family will not be able to return to Tongcheng for some time.
"Okay." Li Ying did not refuse and agreed readily.
Tang Qiao was very happy and held Chenchen's cheek: "Chenchen, go back with grandma, okay?"
"good."
Li Ying did not hesitate and told Ye Chengyi about what had happened recently.
"Really? Come on, let me go with you to take a look." Ye Chengyi was obsessed with studying geology and would not miss any opportunity.
"Take a break and go again in the afternoon."
"Why wait until the afternoon? Let's go now. Where's Officer Xiang you mentioned? Call him. Since we've found something suspicious, we can just pry open the door and get in without notifying the residents."
This is perfectly fine, and if there are issues with those stones, a mandatory inspection can be carried out.
Xiang Ming and Li Ying led Ye Chengyi to this yard.
The village chief ran over in a panic.
"Village Chief Yu, where are the others?" Xiang Ming asked.
"It's strange, he went out for a day and I don't know where he went, but he didn't come back."
"I think he discovered it, so he hid himself."
Xiang Ming asked again: "Is there a spare key to this house?"
"No, the lock was prepared by the resident himself. We don't have the key."
"Then smash it open."
The village chief called a few strong men and broke the door lock.
Ye Chengyi said to everyone, "Don't go in, I'll go in and take a look first."
Li Ying wanted to follow, but was rejected.
Ye Chengyi brought his own tools, followed the path, and found the other party's stone rockery.
Through the rockery, Ye Chengyi found a very suspicious stone and he quickly retreated.
"Officer Xiang, please quickly notify people to cordon off this place. Village Chief Yu, please ask the people around here to move out first. There is a stone here that contains toxic substances and is a very strong radioactive source. All the flowers and plants in the yard have been exposed to radiation. There is just one thing I don't understand. These plants are not dead?" Ye Chengyi frowned, but he could hardly hide his excitement.
For a geology enthusiast like him, this is a challenge.
Xiang Ming and Village Chief Yu did as they were told.
The villagers were relocated to other places and the yard was put under security.
Ye Chengyi first took some grass back for testing, and sure enough, a small amount of radioactive substance was extracted from these grasses.
In order to determine the harm these substances would cause to the human body, Ye Chengyi decisively took off his gloves and pinched the substance with his fingers.
"Meteorite, this is probably the remains of a meteorite. It has a very strong radioactive source and can weaken a person's immune system. Even the slightest contact with other toxins can kill instantly."
Ye Chengyi rushed out of the laboratory excitedly, but when he thought about rushing out like this, if the radioactive source was released, it would hurt many people.
He told the people outside his laboratory the results of his experiment through the doors and windows, and then said to them: "Go find professional medical staff to isolate me and send me to the hospital."
Li Ying was also very excited when she received the news. This discovery proved that Tang Long’s death was related to the man with half of his face burned.
