Chapter 769: Carved from the Same Mold



Li Jiangshui seemed to notice the loneliness in Bao Shengli's eyes and quickly changed the subject.

"Um, have you eaten? I'll go buy something?" He forced himself to change the subject, which even he felt embarrassed about.

"Master, no need to bother." Chang Li followed Bao Shengli and called Li Jiangshui master. "He can only eat liquid food now. The porridge he eats has to be very thin. It's not much better than rice soup. I'd better go to the hospital cafeteria. They make meals specially for patients here. It's suitable for Shengli to eat."

"Oh, that's fine."

It was the first time that Li Jiangshui heard that the county hospital had a canteen that cooked for patients. He was shocked. It was said that the county was high-end! Everything was better than the town.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave. They're still busy over there!"

"Brother Li," Jiang Yan asked him, "How far is the accident from the hotel?"

Li Jiangshui seemed not to have expected her to ask this question and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yan had a face full of question marks.

"Oh, that's not too far away, in the small alley behind the state-owned hotel."

"Is that the only way the victim could have gotten home?"

Li Jiangshui also became serious. "No, we have already asked around. Xiao Jia's home is in the opposite direction of the restaurant. We guess that the murderer must have been waiting near the restaurant, and took Xiao Jia away to the alley when he was alone."

Jiang Yan nodded, "I think this victim was most likely killed by Wu Dayong."

"ah?"

Li Jiangshui was a little confused. What was going on? Comrade Xiao Jiang was not at the scene. How could he figure out who the murderer was based on just a few words?

"You can focus your investigation around the state-owned restaurant. Wu Dayong can't be seen in the light right now. No matter where he hides, he has to drink water and eat, right? What do you think?"

“That makes sense!”

"Also, if the victim was really killed by Wu Dayong, then what hatred or grudge was there between them?"

Li Jiangshui was not sure whether Jiang Yan's idea was correct. After all, they all thought that Xiao Jia lost his life because of the thirty-odd yuan and the watch.

"You can go to the restaurant and ask if the victim had any dispute with anyone. Wu Dayong needs to eat and drink even when he is on the run!"

A word can wake a dreamer up!

Li Jiangshui was excited. If he could really follow this line, he might be able to dig out Wu Dayong.

"Yes, yes, you are right, I will go back now."

Li Jiangshui left excitedly, while Chang Li went to the cafeteria to get food.

Jiang Yan told her, "Don't leave the hospital. We don't know what the situation outside is like!"

"Yeah. I'll just go to the cafeteria to get some food."

Not long after Chang Li left, Bao Yuanchao arrived.

"Why are you here? What's going on outside?"

"Oh, it's quite strict. It feels like martial law. I just went to the restaurant to buy food and heard that someone died again." Bao Yuanchao was frightened all the way. He didn't know what was going on, but he always felt that something big was going to happen.

"Brother, how are you?"

"Much better. We're fine here, just take care of your parents and tell them not to go out." Bao Shengli also smelled something different. Even though he could only lie in bed now, he could find a lot of problems through some fragmentary information.

"I know, don't worry! Mom and Dad are fine, they're just a little worried about you."

"You..." Bao Shengli was a little tired, "Go back and tell them to stay in the house and never go out."

"good."

Bao Yuanchao saw that he looked very tired, "Brother, how about I help you lie down? Rest for a while."

"good."

Bao Yuanchao carefully helped Bao Shengli lie down, then turned his back to Jiang Yan and asked him in a low voice, "Would you like some water?"

Bao Shengli shook his head.

"Okay, take a nap. If you can't sleep, just close your eyes and rest."

Bao Shengli closed his eyes.

"Second Brother Bao, you should go back. Chang Li and I are here. Take good care of your uncle and aunt. We will be fine once they are caught."

Bao Yuanchao was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry for wasting your time. I originally came here to relax, but I ended up staying in the hospital and couldn't go anywhere."

"It's true that we caught the talent." Jiang Yan wanted to change the subject and asked him about his breeding business.

When it comes to professional issues, Bao Yuanchao appears to be much more professional.

He was afraid of disturbing Bao Shengli's rest, so he spoke in a low voice. "The breeding industry in Qinghe Brigade is already very mature, and the members are very enthusiastic. Because they have benefited from it, I don't have to worry as much as before. In addition, Chinese medicine is very effective in preventing and treating plagues. There is no chicken plague or anything like that, so there won't be much loss."

Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly. "We don't know when the household contract responsibility system will be implemented. Brother Bao San may be involved in planting in the future. I have told him that there is a big market for forest ginseng and various Chinese medicinal herbs."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Bao Shengli who was lying on the bed and whispered even more quietly, "If Brother Bao can't go to work in the future, I mean, he should find something to do..."

Bao Yuanchao understood immediately, "The railway and I haven't said anything, you can do whatever you want, big brother."

Jiang Yan nodded. The children of the Bao family are all well-grown, and the old couple of the Bao family are very good at raising children.

Bao Shengli, lying on the bed, couldn't help but shed tears.

Soon, Chang Li brought the food back.

"Yuan Chao, would you like to eat something here too?"

"Oh, no, sister-in-law, you guys eat, I have to go back and talk to my parents about my brother's condition."

Jiang Yan sent him out and gave him a few more instructions at the door, asking him to stay away from the place where the incident happened in the hotel.

Although Bao Yuanchao didn't know why, he obeyed, "I know."

Jiang Yan stood in the corridor and communicated with Da Lunzi.

【Did you find anything? 】

[No, he didn’t come.]

All right!

Jiang Yan walked into the room, pointed outside, and signaled Chang Li to go to the bathroom.

Chang Li nodded and continued to feed Bao Shengli.

Jiang Yan took the opportunity of going to the toilet to meet Si Lu again in the space.

The two people briefly exchanged information from both sides.

"The man hasn't been caught yet, but I think he will be soon. Another victim has appeared. Although they have concluded that the crime was committed for money, I am sure that I am the scum who did it."

"Your intuition is always accurate. I trust your judgment." Si Lu said, "Please be careful. Do you know how sad I am that I can't be by your side at this time?"

"No big deal, it's nothing. How are the kids, are they having fun?"

Si Lu smiled softly, "Everything is new to me. We are having a lot of fun. Your daughter is either chasing chickens or chasing dogs. She almost strangled the chickens that Auntie raised."

Jiang Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Personality is something that is formed from childhood. Chaochao was extremely lively, courageous and talkative when he was a child.

As for Mumu, he looks just like his father...
