Chapter 20: Death of a Doctor (Part 4)
Coming out of the dean's office, Lin Qi and Yang Lin asked Gao Bochuan in bewilderment how he knew about the dark history of the deceased Zhao Yongde. The two were full of questions. They were clearly asked to check before they came, so how come he suddenly knew about it when they arrived at the hospital.
Gao Bochuan didn't explain. After asking them to follow Zhang Lan, he called Shen Yunfei again. Finally, he sat in front of Xia Beibei's bed and looked at her with a sullen face.
Xia Beibei confessed honestly that she actually bumped into Zhang Lan on purpose, because when Zhang Lan appeared, she overheard the nurses next to her secretly discussing, and when she heard that Zhang Lan was the dean's wife, she became more cautious.
Then she sneaked in to inquire, and after many twists and turns she got first-hand information that Zhang Lan was the wife of the hospital director Li Lingyuan. The couple had a harmonious relationship and were well-known model couple. Zhang Lan often came to the hospital to visit her husband.
But a year ago, their relationship seemed to have changed. Although they were still a model couple in front of others, Zhang Lan seldom came to the hospital, and when he did, they quarreled.
A nurse once heard a heated argument between the two people in the director's office. She didn't hear it clearly, but only heard the word "child", which might be because the children were arguing.
It is normal for couples to quarrel over children, but what is abnormal is that Zhang Lan has not come for nearly half a year, but suddenly came today.
After I arrived, I went to the dean's office. The door was closed and the windows were drawn. I didn't hear the two of them arguing, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
When Zhang Lan came out, something was wrong with her. Her eyes were dull and she ignored the doctors and nurses who passed by. She seemed like she had lost her soul. A nurse said that every time Zhang Lan came, the dean never let anyone in to disturb her.
Xia Beibei had a hunch that something was wrong. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and now she was here because Zhao Yongde had died. Moreover, their relationship had changed a year ago. It was also a year ago that Zhao Yongde deliberately killed a migrant worker's child in order to save the dean's child.
Logically speaking, no matter what the process was, the one who survived was her own child, and Zhang Lan should be happy. She had met Zhang Lan before, and judging from his face, Zhang Lan was not a pushover, and he would not righteously accuse her husband of replacing one child with another.
Therefore, Xia Beibei had a hunch that something was wrong. She felt that Zhang Lan's visit this time might be related to Zhao Yongde's death. Lin Qi said that when she went to ask the dean in the morning, she felt that the dean was a smiling tiger and very scheming.
Therefore, while Zhang Lan was emotionally unstable, she had to find a way to let Zhang Lan and the principal meet again. It would be best if she could watch from the side and observe the two of them at all times.
That's why she bumped into Zhang Lan on purpose. When Gao Bochuan came, she secretly told Gao Bochuan to take him to the dean's office.
Sure enough, there was something fishy going on between the two of them, but the strange thing was that it was different from what she had expected.
"Boss, when you mentioned Zhao Yongde, Zhang Lan was in pain, but it didn't last long. She quickly calmed down. However, when you mentioned the two girls, she was very confused. She was thinking about why it wasn't Li Lingyuan who died."
There were fruits on the table that Yang Lin and others had brought. Xia Beibei peeled a banana and handed it to Gao Bochuan.
"So, Boss, I think the focus is on Zhang Lan. Although she is not the murderer, she should know something about Zhao Yongde. Or, you can check the daughter of the migrant worker."
The dean was a cunning man, and he must have something to hide, but he had been deliberately avoiding her and Gao Bochuan's gazes, pretending to look at the documents on the table casually, and just perfunctorily answered Gao Bochuan's subsequent questions with "I don't know".
In the end, he got tired of being asked so many questions that he just turned into a smiling tiger.
"Comrade police officer, although I am the dean, to be frank, I am only in charge of administrative matters now. I rarely interfere in medical matters."
"In terms of administration, there is nothing wrong with Dr. Zhao. As for the surgery, I am not sure. However, even if he gave the girl's cornea to my daughter, it was definitely in compliance with the procedure."
Yang Lin and Lin Qi followed Zhang Lan for two whole days but found no useful clues.
Zhang Lan went home directly from the hospital and stayed at home since then. His daughter went to her grandmother's house. Zhang Lan was alone at home and ordered takeout for dinner. Yang Lin and others checked the takeout and found nothing unusual.
Shen Yunfei brought back the parents of the deceased girl. They still don’t know that what they signed was a donation of their daughter’s cornea. They still thought it was a notice of critical illness. They don’t even know that their daughter was killed by Zhao Yongde’s deliberate delay in treatment.
When Zhao Yongde got into trouble, both of them were at home and had no alibi, but they also had no motive for murder. Moreover, both of them had type O blood, not panda blood, so they could be ruled out as suspects for the time being.
Although Li Lingyuan had a motive for murder, he also had an alibi, and his blood type was not RH negative. Zhang Lan gave birth to her child in the municipal hospital, and the hospital had records that her blood type was type A.
After forensic identification, the DNA extracted from the skin scraps between the fingernails of the deceased Zhao Yongde did not belong to just a few people. So after a lot of detours, the hospital director Li Lingyuan, Zhang Lan, and the migrant worker couple were all ruled out as suspects.
The only thing they can do now is to follow Zhang Lan and monitor the dean Li Lingyuan at the same time, because although there is no breakthrough in the case, everyone knows that these two people may be the key to solving the case.
On the day Xia Beibei was discharged from the hospital, Gao Bochuan picked her up. When she arrived downstairs of the community, before she had the chance to say thank you, she was led upstairs by Gao Bochuan in a daze. Then, under his unyielding gaze, she packed two suitcases of clothes under tremendous pressure.
"This is your room. The furniture inside is configured according to your original room. If you don't like it, you can just change it. Tell me if you need anything, or you can buy it yourself. This is the card. The password is my birthday."
Xia Beibei was confused all the way. Looking at the bank card in front of her, she shuddered all over and finally came to her senses. She looked like she had seen a ghost and stammered:
"Boss, you...you're not going to support me, are you?"
Oh shit! What is going on? Why are you returning the card?
Lin Qi said that there are very few men who voluntarily hand over their salary cards after marriage. Those who give the cards before marriage are all kept by others. Aren't they just hooligans when they are not even boyfriend or girlfriend?
Gao Bochuan's face darkened. Seeing her eyes widened with a defensive look, he pinched his brows helplessly. Suddenly he remembered something, squinted his eyes and glanced at her tightly protected chest, as if hinting at something.
"Right A?"
Depend on! Xia Beibei's face turned red, almost bleeding, and she stomped her feet in anger.
Does this mean that you're not interested in her because her breasts are too small?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, Gao Bochuan had already stuffed the card into her trouser pocket.
"You put the things you bought at my house, so they belong to me. I'll keep the card for your household use. It's your job to buy groceries and cook for you. Tell me if there's no money in the card."
Xia Beibei: “…”
Are you treating her as a nanny?
