When Xu Guiying opened her eyes and woke up again, it was 10 a.m. the next day.
The ward was packed with people.
"Hey, Guiying, how are you feeling?"
"Mom! My mom's awake! Someone come quick! Where's the doctor? Doctor, come quick!"
"Mom, how are you feeling? Do you still recognize me? Can you see me?"
Xu Guiying felt a sharp pain in her forehead and opened her eyes to see the person in front of her.
Grandpa and Grandma Song stood by the bed, their faces full of worry. Song Xinfu had red eyes and looked haggard. The third and fifth sons, Qian Yu'an, Song Zhicheng, and Lu Hui were also there...
Xu Guiying looked around and then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
He woke up two hours later.
Everyone is still keeping watch in the ward.
"Quick, quick, Mom's awake again! Mom, how are you feeling now?"
"Guiying, what do you want? Do you want some water?"
"Dad, keep your voice down, or you'll disturb Mom!"
...
Xu Guiying, unable to bear it any longer, said, "...Quiet down, what's going on?"
Grandpa Song asked everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Xu Guiying.
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Xu Guiying's heart also tightened.
The old man recounted the events of last night from beginning to end.
This information was obtained from the police and witnesses.
Last night, Xu Guiying and Xu Songyuan were beaten on the street. The passersby who intervened said they saw Xu Songyuan being carried into a van by two men, while Xu Guiying lay on the ground covered in blood.
They quickly took the person to the nearest hospital.
As luck would have it, Officer Zhao, who was visiting a sick family member at the hospital, noticed Xu Guiying's condition and asked several passersby for details. He then asked one of the passersby to go to Heping Lane and notify the Song family to come over.
An investigation was launched last night, and the police are looking for Xu Songyuan's whereabouts.
The entire Song family came. Qian Yu'an asked Aunt Wang to watch the two children for a while and came along as well.
The doctor said that Xu Guiying was injured by a heavy object and needed several stitches. Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, and she will need to stay in the hospital for a few days for further observation.
After hearing this, Xu Guiying immediately asked, "Where is Songyuan?!"
Just then, a commotion came from outside the ward.
"Xu Songyuan should pay with his life! He killed my father, and we will not let this go!"
"Heavens above, what a deep-seated hatred and grudge! Rong Guo already knew he was wrong, why did you still have to kill him..."
"Quiet down! What's all the noise about! Whether this matter is related to Xu Songyuan is still under investigation. He may not be the murderer! Silence!"
The sounds from outside drifted into the ward, making Xu Guiying's already pale face look even worse.
"What on earth happened?!"
What happened in Songyuan?
Just as the Song family members were organizing their thoughts to speak, the ward door suddenly opened.
Xu Guiying was in a four-person ward. In addition to her, there was an old woman with a broken leg living diagonally across from her.
The person who came was a policeman.
The case is of great importance and has been handed over to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team for investigation.
Song Yun looked over with a worried expression; this person looked so familiar.
She remembered that it was the time Zhuang Pinghua robbed and murdered someone in the shop. It was Mo Hong and Peng Yuan who handled the case. She had heard Peng Yuan call Mo Hong "Master".
Mo Hong is related to the parties involved in this case and has applied for recusal from the investigation.
Peng Yuan: "Don't worry, the doctor said Xu Songyuan is fine, and this case is probably not related to him."
Xu Guiying was still completely confused, and frowned as she asked, "What exactly happened?"
At 6:30 this morning, Tan Ya's mother, Yin Cui, who is also Tan Rongguo's wife, went out as usual to buy breakfast for the whole family. The Tan family now lives on the third floor of an apartment building. When she passed the second floor, she noticed red stains seeping out from under the door. She hurriedly went home, got her key, opened the door, and went in. She saw Tan Rongguo and Xu Songyuan lying in the living room covered in blood.
Tan Rongguo had already stopped breathing.
A bloodstained stick was found at the scene, and Xu Songyuan was holding a kitchen knife. Yin Cui immediately screamed, waking up the Tan family members and neighbors who were still sleeping in the building.
The apartment on the second floor was bought by Tan Rongguo and his wife, but they had already moved to the third floor to live with Tan Ya's grandparents. Tan Ya's grandparents were in poor health and wanted everyone to live together for a lively time, so the apartment on the second floor had been uninhabited for two years.
Last night, the police were still searching for Xu Songyuan's whereabouts, but they found him so quickly.
The Tan family insisted that Xu Songyuan killed Tan Rongguo and were determined to have Xu Songyuan imprisoned or executed.
Tan Ya's uncles, aunts, and cousins also came to the hospital, and Tan's family members went to the Phoenix Pavilion to make a scene, saying that Xu Songyuan had killed someone.
It became common knowledge.
After hearing this, Xu Guiying was so angry that her eyes blazed with fury. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Peng Yuan nodded: "There are many suspicious points in this matter. We are still investigating. We came here to find out what happened on the street last night. Do you know those two people?"
This matter is of great importance, and Xu Guiying's voice was full of vigor:
“I don’t know him! Xu Songyuan and I walked back to Heping Lane after leaving Phoenix Pavilion last night. Damn it, I should have ridden my bike! We were talking about the shop’s business as we walked, and we passed a small alley. I’d walked about three or four steps when I felt something was wrong behind me. I turned around and saw a man with a stick hitting me on the head…”
Xu Guiying recalled, her brows furrowed, "We didn't know each other at all, this must have been premeditated! I was lying on the ground unable to move when I saw them hit Songyuan with a stick and carry him into the car. Xu Songyuan was so badly injured, he was unconscious! How could he possibly kill Tan Rongguo!!! They must have taken him there to take the blame!"
"Officers, you must investigate this matter and give us an explanation! Also, maybe this whole thing was staged by the Tan family! Xu Songyuan was injured so badly, you must find the culprit and hold them accountable. His head is so important! If vital organs are injured, he'll be ruined!"
