Chapter 21 Eliminating Suspicion



It's already 10 p.m.

The surgeon on duty had to go home temporarily, and there shouldn't be many patients at this time, so his apprentice filled in for him.

This apprentice was a half-baked fellow; he had only learned a little bit and hadn't really practiced much. Seeing Liu Wenbin's disheveled appearance, he was extremely disgusted.

They pretended to know what they were talking about, pressing around and even tricked them into taking full-body X-rays, but after looking at them for a long time, they still couldn't figure out anything.

He only said that he had multiple fractures throughout his body and needed surgery.

Then the nurse put Liu Wenbin on an IV drip.

The nurse was half asleep in the middle of the night and didn't see the medication clearly, resulting in an error in the dosage.

Liu Wenbin, who was receiving an IV drip, suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, and vomited all over the floor.

To cover up his mistake, the nurse lied and claimed that he was allergic to the medication.

The effect of the bad luck charm would cease after midnight.

When the surgeon returned to the ward, after a detailed examination, he found multiple bruises all over his body, multiple fractures in his lower leg, and multiple fractures in his ribs.

Moreover, there are many secondary injuries.

The wound is swollen very badly and has become inflamed.

This person is really pitiful; I wonder who beat him up like this.

With limited medical resources, he couldn't guarantee whether injuries treated past the optimal window for recovery could be saved.

Moreover, the cost of the surgery is not low.

Liu's mother took out all the money she had on her, but it was only enough for part of the surgery costs.

In the past few days, she has spent all the money she could at home to pull strings for Liu Xiangqian, and what she has now is money she borrowed from her parents' home yesterday.

Doctors aren't charities; you pay a fee, but you can only have a portion of the surgeries performed.

Liu Wenbin's ribs were set, but his lower leg was delayed.

The next day, Liu's mother went back and borrowed money from relatives and friends to pay for all the surgery fees, but Liu Wenbin's leg was delayed.

The doctor said that there might be a noticeable problem with walking in the future.

When Liu Wenbin woke up and learned the news, his eyes turned red, and he frantically asked his mother to call the police for him. He wanted to sue Liu Yihang for coming to his door to commit the crime and send him to jail to vent his anger.

Liu's mother felt that her son was looking for someone to vent his frustrations, since she had personally seen that the doors and windows were locked from the inside.

Liu Yihang can't fly or disappear without a trace.

But the marks on her son's body were clearly from being beaten, which left her completely baffled.

In the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and call the police.

The county's public security bureau directly assigned this task to the Lushui Town Public Security Bureau.

The same two veteran officers came to question us, just like last time.

They found it quite novel to handle this family's case twice in one month.

"You said Liu Yihang broke into your room late at night and beat you up. What was the exact time? Are there any witnesses or physical evidence?" The veteran police officer asked in a businesslike manner as he stood in front of the hospital bed.

"The night before last, around 11 or 12 o'clock, I was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly hit me with a stick, stuffed a pair of smelly socks into my mouth, and then kept hitting me."

Then I fainted and didn't know anything anymore.

When I woke up, he was gone, and there was nothing left. But when I turned my head, I could vaguely see his figure; it was Liu Yihang.

"So, there's no witness testimony or physical evidence, it's all just speculation?"

“Officer, I’m telling the truth. You just handled my family’s case, so you should know that he’s the only one who has a grudge against my family. He must be holding a grudge and is secretly taking revenge in the middle of the night.”

"We need to verify this before we can confirm it."

The veteran officer asked Liu's mother some questions separately.

Although Liu's mother also had her doubts, she did not tell the police officers about them in order to help her son.

The two officers then conducted an on-site investigation and found that Liu Wenbin's door had a hole in it and the windows were closed.

After repeated questioning of Liu's mother, it was discovered that the doors and windows were closed when the incident occurred, which was very strange.

The doors and windows were locked from the inside. Even Liu's mother had to break down the door to save her son. Who could possibly walk through the wall and beat up Liu Wenbin?

Or is this a ruse on his part?

Putting all that aside, the two decided to meet with Liu Yihang and investigate his whereabouts over the past few days.

After a long and winding journey, I finally arrived at the place where Liu Yihang worked, only to find out that he had long since stopped working on the construction site and had switched to selling boxed lunches.

The two found Liu Yihang's stall at midday.

Wow, this kid's doing pretty well; there's quite a long line at his stall.

Liu Yihang was indeed very busy. Since that day, Wang Dazhuang and another stir-fry stall had never come to sell food again, and his business was even better.

He can sell around 200 meals a day. He needs to prepare more than 100 boxed meals in advance for packaging, and the rest are cooked on the spot.

Liu Xiangdong watched the fried rice steps countless times, and Liu Yihang even copied down the recipe given to him by the system so that he could memorize it.

I've already gotten the hang of it and started operating it in the last couple of days.

At first, he wasn't very skilled, and the taste was always a little off, so he put his fried rice aside and sold it at a discount, and quite a few people bought it.

After several days of practice, Liu Xiangdong's cooking skills have improved considerably. It's estimated that it won't be long before he can cook as well as Liu Yihang.

The two officers did not immediately approach to inquire, fearing it would affect their business.

Making a living is not easy for anyone.

It wasn't until around 1 p.m., when Liu Yihang's fried rice had sold out, that the two of them finally appeared.

"Oh, it's you two!" Liu Yihang said, feigning surprise.

Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua had never met the two of them before and were completely confused.

As Liu Yihang explained, the couple repeatedly expressed their gratitude, thanking them for helping them find the notice that day, and even said they would treat the two of them to a meal.
