After a long time, the officer who came out with Officer Chen was a man who looked much younger than Officer Chen. Officer Chen formally introduced him to them, "This is our deputy director, Comrade Li Ningshan."
Xu Keke took the initiative to shake hands with Li Ningshan.
"Comrade Du Wenting, hello. We have already reported to our superiors. They are taking this matter very seriously. We will be arresting Li Shaojie immediately. We will need your cooperation in the following steps."
Although she knew that gender issues were taken very seriously in this era, the efficiency still exceeded Xu Keke's expectations.
A police car was parked at the alley entrance. Xu Keke stood in front of Fan Tao's house. By the dim streetlights, she saw Chief Li, along with several police officers, gently push open the courtyard gate and quietly enter. The courtyard was quiet, and there were extremely soft voices inside the house, so quiet that they were almost inaudible. Occasionally, the sound of a cat meowing came from the depths of the alley.
After a while, the sound of a door being kicked came from the yard, and the light inside came on. Then came screams, a commotion, and then silence.
The first one brought out was Li Shaojie. He was still wearing the blue-gray plaid pajamas that Du Wenting's aunt had given him before their marriage. He had a gray wool jacket over it, which was the first piece of clothing that Du Wenting had bought for him when they were dating.
Li Yumei, who was behind Xiao Yujie, was dressed more neatly than Xiao Yujie. Xiao Yujie's clothes were clearly put on in a hurry, hanging haphazardly on her body. The two of them were shivering, their heads hanging low.
Only Li Shaojie saw Xu Keke. He had lost his arrogance from the evening, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He seemed unable to understand why Xu Keke was there.
That evening, Xu Keke went back to the police station and gave a formal statement.
For the next two days, Xu Keke went about her daily routine, going back and forth between school and home. Life was the same as before, as if nothing had happened.
On the third day, she received a call from Lin Munan, asking her to come home for dinner, saying that Du Junsheng had returned.
That evening, as Lin Munan had requested, Xu Keke called Fang San and asked him to go back to the Du family home with her.
Only after piecing together what the people said did Xu Keke finally understand.
Fang San learned from his classmate that "Xiao Yujie's mental state is not very good at the moment, but that night, when they entered the Xiao family's courtyard, they heard Li Shaojie inside, persuading Xiao Yujie to give a false testimony. Xiao Yujie initially disagreed, but later she softened her stance. It seemed that she wanted to frame a professor for having an affair with a female doctor at their hospital. The police discovered some other clues from Xiao Yujie's intermittent statements."
Fang Minghui: "The Party Secretary of our hospital specifically asked me to switch shifts. He said the investigation team wanted to talk to me the next day to get some information. The Party Secretary also instructed me to tell him everything, not to exaggerate or hide anything, and to report the facts. He also said he would emphasize this to all the colleagues involved in the investigation. As a result, the investigation team came to the hospital the next day, and first talked to an older colleague. Before they finished talking, they said they had received a notice and left. I had prepared a lot of praise for my teacher, but I couldn't say a word. I was so frustrated."
Du Junsheng: "You're all overthinking it. At first, I didn't know what they were investigating. It was only when the investigation team asked me that I found out that I had taken two watches and some money from Mr. Lin."
Du Junsheng glanced at Fang Minghui and said, "It's all this kid's fault. He was there when Mr. Lin gave you the watch. Later, when your aunt called to ask what watch to buy for you, this kid was there too. He said that he thought Mr. Lin's two watches were pretty good, so he told your aunt to buy the one from that brand."
"I didn't return the form and money before the surgery because I was afraid of putting a burden on the patient. Later, I returned them to him through the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office before he boarded the plane. As for other things like romantic relationships and small gangs, the investigation team didn't believe them."
"Sister Wei said, who would go to the operating room to have an affair? They're just afraid people won't see it."
Lin Munan slapped Du Junsheng, "What nonsense are you talking about, in front of the children? How can you just spout off like that?"
Du Junsheng smiled and said, "I'm just repeating what they said. As for the 'small clique,' that's even more nonsense. What can a hospital do by forming a small clique? Even if you want to eliminate dissidents, you need to have a purpose. The appointment of the hospital director a few years ago was already approved, but I didn't want to spend my energy on administrative work, so I asked the organization to transfer me to the college. This time, the position of vice president is also something I have been disagreeing with. That's why the appointment hasn't been approved yet."
"Then why has it been taking so long?" Xu Keke asked, nestled close to Du Junsheng, puzzled.
Du Junsheng tapped her forehead. "Secretary Chen said that since we're going to investigate, we should investigate thoroughly so that no one can use it against us later. We're too old for that; we're too busy with our own work to deal with these things every day. Secretary Chen contacted Mr. Lin through the organization and asked him to provide a written account of what happened."
"By the way, when I came back, Secretary Chen said that Li Shaojie has been formally arrested. Secretary Chen and the police officers who went to the school to investigate also asked him about it. Your divorce from Li Shaojie will not affect their filing of a case. He said that you should contact him in the next couple of days, and he will accompany you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures. He has reported this to the organization."
With Secretary Chen's words in mind, Xu Keke didn't think about wasting any time and went to see Secretary Chen the next day.
Secretary Chen was personally posting notices on the school bulletin board. One notice announced the removal of Comrade Zhou Chunhong from her position as head of the Department of Surgery. The other notice was an appointment letter appointing Du Junsheng as vice president.
Xu Keke thought for a long time. Yesterday, Du Junsheng clearly meant that he was afraid of being overwhelmed by too much administrative work, so he was applying to the organization to cancel the appointment. Xu Keke had an impulse to ask Secretary Chen if this appointment had been made without his father's consent.
