Chapter 69
Wan Zhen's body trembled, hesitating,
"I...I don't know."
"Deliberate concealment is also a crime, you must think carefully."
As soon as the words fell, Wan Zhen was obviously frightened and kept talking.
"I...I didn't do it on purpose. My husband just came home and looked up the symptoms of a heart attack online, and that's when we found out. We always thought these symptoms were minor and never took them seriously. We really didn't hide it on purpose. We really didn't know at first."
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze towards Wan Zhen softened for a moment, and he said in a deep voice,
"Since you knew it before coming to the hospital, why did you insist on denying it just now? If this isn't concealment, what is it?"
Wan Zhen was completely panicked. Knowing she was in the wrong, she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone else, and stammered.
"Yes...my husband said that as long as he denies everything, you won't have any evidence, and then...we can get the one million. We can't let Xiaozhi die in vain."
"So, you'll use your son's death to buy a worry-free old age?"
Lin Sheng's tone was extremely cold, and his expression was clearly chilling. He stared at Wan Zhen, who was so ashamed that she was about to crawl under the table.
"Take the person away!"
Sun Yong was sentenced to one year in prison for intentional injury, and Ye Jingchuan was ordered by the hospital to return home to recuperate for two weeks due to his injuries.
Inside the police station.
Lin Sheng handed Sun Yong over to the police station and came back to report. He happened to see Xu Guannan and others investigating the case. He simply folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the door to listen.
"After investigating the crime scene, we found that the three victims died in similar ways: they all suffered a brief cardiac arrest after being frightened, and were then suffocated, strangled, or stabbed to death. Therefore, the murderer is very likely the same person. In addition, we found a cufflink in the right hand of the third victim. Based on the modus operandi, we preliminarily determined that the murderer was left-handed."
Chu Xiao made his own investigation summary.
Wen Yao added,
"This drug was found in the homes of the three deceased. Analysis revealed that it was a newly launched sleeping pill in the city, a tranquilizer and sleep aid. The other three had all been treated at the same hospital."
Wen Yao paused at this point. Xu Guannan was puzzled, frowning slightly and asked doubtfully,
"Which hospital?"
Lin Sheng stood at the door, listening quietly until he opened his mouth and suddenly answered,
"Boyuan Hospital."
When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and saw Lin Sheng appear at the door.
Wen Yao was the first to ask,
"Sister Lin, why are you here? Aren't you..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Sheng's expression changed slightly and he suddenly disappeared. Everyone present was stunned.
Wen Yao hurriedly opened the door and looked outside, looking at the others in confusion.
"Why does she appear and disappear?"
Lin Sheng immediately returned to Boyuan Hospital and retrieved the hospital's good patient files. He found that the three people had all made appointments with Ye Jingchuan at Boyuan, and that Ye Jingchuan was their prescribing physician and attending physician.
But after spending so many days together, Ye Jingchuan is not left-handed at all. This alone does not match the characteristics of a murderer.
"Hey, Doctor Guo, I need your signature on this medical record."
The nurse on the platform suddenly called out to Guo Da who was passing by.
Guo Da responded, turned around hurriedly, walked back to the platform, took the medical record with his left hand and signed it.
"Doctor Guo, Dr. Ye has been away for a while, so you must be very busy."
Guo Da put down his pen, handed the medical record back, and forced a smile on his face.
"Master is not here, so I have to take over. Those who are capable should do more work."
As he spoke, Guo Da hurried into the clinic.
Lin Sheng stood in the corridor and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. When Guo Da signed, he used his left hand.
Recalling the scene of interrogating Guo Da, Lin Sheng vaguely remembered Guo Da saying that Ye Jingchuan taught him everything he knew.
"Captain Xu, I've discovered something that might be helpful to you."
Immediately, Xu Guannan rushed to Boyuan Hospital and, based on Lin Sheng's speculation, took Guo Da back to the bureau for interrogation.
"Guo Da, look carefully, do you recognize the people in these three photos?"
Xu Guannan walked up to him and placed photos of the three deceased in front of Guo Da.
Guo Da answered very straightforwardly and denied it flatly.
"I don't know him. Officer, why did you arrest me?"
Xu Guannan's eyes turned cold, he sat back in the interrogation chair, and said in a deep voice,
"Don't you know him? Someone died in Ye Jingchuan's clinic two days ago. Were you there?"
"Yes, I never miss any of my master's consultations."
"Then let me ask you, how did the deceased Sun Zhi die?"
Guo Da's eyes showed doubts, and he spoke hesitantly.
"Officer, I explained all of this to Miss Lin last time. She knows all the details."
Xu Guannan obviously didn't buy it.
"Please cooperate. I'll ask you questions and you answer them. Don't say anything extra."
Guo Da's throat moved slightly, and he nodded. His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Guannan.
"The cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by excessive shock. The patient had a history of heart disease, but he did not explain it clearly, which led to his accidental death during treatment."
"Are you sure this is the case? Let me ask you, are you and the deceased Sun Zhi old acquaintances?"
As soon as the words came out, Guo Da was stunned and quickly responded.
"No! How could I know him, officer? Are you kidding?"
Seeing the guilt in Guo Da's eyes, Xu Guannan took out his cell phone, put it in front of Guo Da, and said calmly,
"You really don't know him? Although there's no surveillance in the pharmacy, it clearly captured the deceased, Sun Zhi, quietly following you into the pharmacy before the consultation. Shortly after, you could hear him arguing inside, which happened to be captured by the camera in the corridor outside the pharmacy. And then, you angrily kicked him out."
Guo Da obviously didn't realize this, and didn't expect to be photographed. He looked nervous and spoke slowly.
"I do know Sun Zhi. We were classmates in junior high school, but we hardly spoke. He followed me in that day to steal medicine. I stopped him and we got into an argument."
"Do you have anything to do with Sun Zhi's death? Answer honestly."
Guo Da lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Guannan. He was silent for a long time and did not answer.
Xu Guannan stared at him, noticed his avoidance, and urged,
"Speak! What did you do to him? Even if you don't tell us, we can find out. Then the nature of the matter will be completely different."
Guo Da's throat moved slightly, and he stammered.
"I...I didn't do anything. I just gave him an injection of Lamo. I didn't do anything else."
"What does it do?"
"It...acts...increases a person's mental arousal, which may be accompanied by nightmares or incubi. Generally speaking, the probability of a nightmare being triggered is relatively low, and it won't happen easily...I really didn't want him to die, I just wanted to give him a hard time."
Xu Guannan looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice,
"It was because of your low probability that he had a heart attack."
Now that things have come to this, Guo Da is no longer afraid to act, and shouts boldly,
"He deserves to die! People like him should go to hell! I should have killed him long ago."
"That's not a reason for you to take action. This matter also involves Ye Jingchuan. He was almost stabbed to death by Sun Yong. Don't you feel guilty about this?"
Guo Da's eyes flashed with a moment of astonishment, but he quickly changed his expression, changing his usual respectful attitude towards Ye Jingchuan, and sneered,
"Oh, I wish he would be stabbed to death, but unfortunately Sun Yong didn't kill him. Anyway, I have learned a lot of skills. When Ye Jingchuan is gone, I will be the next Ye Jingchuan."
Wen Yao, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and angrily threw his pen at Guo Da, slammed the table and stood up, cursing,
"Ignorant bastard! Professor Ye taught you all his skills, and this is how you repay him?"
There was no trace of shame on Guo Da's face, only the joy of impending success between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Since you've taught me all your skills, wouldn't it be better for you to pass on your position to me? If it weren't for you, Ye Jingchuan's reputation would have plummeted."
"The three photos I just showed you are of the victims of a recent serial murder case. Their deaths are very similar to Sun Zhi's. They all died of shock first. I want to ask you, did you kill these three people? Why did you kill them?"
Guo Da's face clearly flashed with surprise, mixed with fear, but he quickly covered it up, looked at Xu Guannan, and answered confidently,
"I told you, I don't know you and I don't know what you're talking about."
"According to our investigation, we have preliminarily determined that the murderer is left-handed. These three people have all been treated at Boyuan Hospital and have also received treatment from Ye Jingchuan. You have always been with Ye Jingchuan, so it is impossible that you don't know them."
Guo Da, however, looked unconcerned and ignored Xu Guannan's words. He casually said,
"The hospital sees so many patients every day. How can I remember them all? Officer, you overestimate me."
"Their medical records show that the average person goes four times a month, or once a week. How dare you say you don't know them?"
Guo Da showed an impatient expression and stretched out his wrist helplessly.
"If I say I don't know him, then I don't know him. If you want to force a conviction on me, then just handcuff me. I can't argue anyway."
Wen Yao, who was standing by, was furious. He handcuffed Guo Da and detained him at the police station. He then walked over to Xu Guannan and asked curiously,
"Boss, do you think Guo Da is the murderer? Although he is left-handed, he doesn't look like a vicious person. The accidental killing of Sun Zhi was due to a grudge between the two of them, but putting that aside, what kind of grudge could there be between a doctor and a patient?"
許觀南腦海中思索，只覺得兩樁案子疑點重重，沒有直接回答文耀，反倒是拍了一下文耀的肩，
“走吧，去醫院看看。”
林笙有些心神不寧，總覺得自己似乎遺漏了什麽東西，索性回到醫院，繼續調查。
