Chapter 21: Death of a Doctor (V)
Xia Beibei had just recovered from a serious illness and was still unable to fully move her muscles. In the evening, she thought of ordering takeout to get by, but she didn't expect that when she came out of the shower, Gao Bochuan had already prepared dinner.
The table was filled with the aroma of delicious food. Xia Beibei took off the towel on her head and walked over with shining eyes. Gao Bochuan knocked her hand away from the pork ribs, looked her up and down, and then frowned in displeasure.
"Go back and change your clothes. Don't show your legs!"
Xia Beibei looked down at her shorts and went back to the room with gritted teeth. She always wore this after taking a shower, and these were not hot shorts. Did this man dislike her? Why did he even care about her clothes? More than her aunt!
When I came out, there was one more person in the restaurant.
"Xia Beibei?"
Chu Yang was surprised to see Xia Beibei coming out of the room. He looked her up and down, then turned to look at Gao Bochuan with his half-closed eyes suggesting something. Gao Bochuan explained.
"Someone died in her neighborhood. She was scared and couldn't find a house for the time being, so she stayed with me temporarily."
Xia Beibei walked over and originally wanted to sit opposite Gao Bochuan, but when she saw Chu Yang standing there, she sat next to Gao Bochuan.
After simply greeting Chu Yang, with Gao Bochuan's tacit approval, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He had been eating vegetarian food in the hospital for a few days and was very hungry.
Gao Bochuan and Chu Yang drank some wine and talked about the past. Xia Beibei was eating happily beside them. When Gao Bochuan looked over, she would give him a thumbs up from time to time with an admiring look on her face. She didn't even know that her boss's cooking was so delicious.
Gao Bochuan was in a good mood and would occasionally add a dish for her. Chu Yang kept watching his movements. When he was halfway through drinking the wine, he suddenly said:
"Bochuan, are you planning to hide your lover in a golden house?"
Gao Bochuan was stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xia Beibei. Xia Beibei was eating and texting at the same time. When Lin Qi complained to her that she was almost eaten by a mosquito when she was following Zhang Lan, she was laughing at her.
Gao Bochuan retracted his gaze and drank a mouthful of soup. Chu Yang smiled and said casually without waiting for his answer:
"Life is unpredictable, so it is important to enjoy life while you can and not to have any regrets."
Gao Bochuan looked up at him and said, "Why are you so sentimental all of a sudden? You don't seem like the type to be sad and depressed."
Chu Yang picked up the red wine glass, clinked it with him, then drank it all in one gulp, and shook his head:
"I didn't feel that way before, but a few days ago, a friend I knew suddenly jumped off a building and died. It really touched me."
Gao Bochuan paused with his chopsticks in his hand and spoke inconspicuously: "Jump off the building? Is your friend a doctor?"
Seeing him nod, Gao Bochuan put down his chopsticks: "Zhao Yongde from the Municipal Hospital?"
Chu Yang was surprised, then he thought of something and suddenly shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"That's right. The doctor who jumped from the building at the Municipal Hospital was on the news. You're a police officer, so you can't be unaware of this. Bochuan, is this case your responsibility?"
Gao Bochuan filled his glass of wine, then touched Xia Beibei's arm and asked her to go to the study to get a notebook and pen. Xia Beibei went to get it confused, and when she came back, she saw Chu Yang laughing and scolding Gao Bochuan.
"You are too old-fashioned. You don't recognize any relatives when you mention a case. You can even take notes while eating. I have to admire you."
In the next half hour, Chu Yang kept talking about Zhao Yongde. He said that he and Zhao Yongde were not very familiar with each other, and they could only be considered friends with whom he could talk.
He had neither a good nor a bad impression of Zhao Yongde, and didn't know much about him, but one thing he mentioned was very interesting.
"How should I put it? Zhao Yongde is actually a nice person, but his private life is very messy. He likes to have affairs with both men and women, and he accepts anyone who comes."
"But he hid it very well. I heard that he was also related to the family of a leader in their hospital. It seems that the two of them had a child. Zhao Yongde was afraid that it would affect his career, so he asked the woman to abort the child."
Gao Bochuan sent Chu Yang downstairs. When he came back, Xia Beibei had already cleaned up the dishes and was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Bochuan walked over and touched her hair randomly, then sat down next to her. Xia Beibei didn't notice his actions, and looked at him seriously and said:
"Boss, now I understand why Zhang Lan was so distressed when you mentioned those two girls. The leader's family member Chu Yang mentioned should be Li Lingyuan's wife Zhang Lan."
"So Zhang Lan and Zhao Yongde were having an affair. Now we need to figure out why Zhang Lan was so angry even though his daughter was saved."
Gao Bochuan's phone rang. He opened it and took a look, then handed the phone to her: "I've figured it out."
Xia Beibei was stunned and reached out to take the phone. It was a test report. She looked at Gao Bochuan suspiciously. Gao Bochuan reached out to the coffee table, took a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
"The migrant worker couple both have type O blood. This is the test report of their daughter from that year that I asked Xiao Zhou to get from the hospital. It shows type A blood. Zhao Yongde and Zhang Lan both have type A blood."
Hearing this, Xia Beibei instantly understood that the girl who died because Zhao Yongde stopped taking medication and delayed treatment was not the child of the migrant workers, because two people with type O blood cannot give birth to a child with type A blood.
Zhao Yongde and Zhang Lan both have type A blood, so Zhang Lan did not abort her and Zhao Yongde's child. That child is most likely the girl who died, so Zhang Lan was so painful and collapsed when she heard what happened that year.
However, these are just their speculations and there is no actual evidence.
Gao Bochuan blew out a smoke ring, saw her doubt, and reached out to pinch her face.
"I've asked Yunfei to investigate. The migrant worker couple is a clue. Even if the clue is broken, as long as Zhang Lan didn't abort the child, there must be traces to follow. Once we find the hospital where she gave birth, and then follow the clues, it won't be a problem to find a child."
Xia Beibei nodded, and noticed that he was pinching her face. Just as she was about to reach out to slap him away, she suddenly remembered another question. She was so excited that she grabbed his hand.
"Boss, Lin Qi just said that you are looking for someone with panda blood?"
Gao Bochuan looked at the hand she held in his palm and hummed. Xia Beibei didn't notice that his ears were beginning to turn red, and said anxiously:
"Boss, didn't I say before that I heard about Zhao Yongde's dark history from a nurse? When the nurse mentioned Zhao Yongde, she got really angry and ended up piercing her hand with a needle."
"Then the middle-aged woman said something. She said, 'Your blood is precious. Don't waste it.' Boss, the nurse's name is Liu Qing. You should quickly get someone to test her blood."
Seeing that Gao Bochuan kept his head down and didn't say anything, Xia Beibei added:
"Boss, Chu Yang just said that Zhao Yongde's private life is very messy. The nurse named Liu Qing was very emotional when she mentioned him. They may also have a relationship."
Gao Bochuan finally looked up at her, put out his cigarette, and reached out to touch her head.
"Li Lingyuan's alibi is a nurse named Liu Qing. I know. Go to sleep and leave the rest to me."
After saying that, he took the car keys and walked out the door. Xia Beibei grabbed him with a horrified look on her face: "Boss, you've been drinking, you can't drive."
Gao Bochuan reached out and pinched her face again: "I just called Yang Lin to pick me up. He's almost here."
