Chapter 353 What a Gift
Xu Lin: "But people in reality are not so lucky."
Wu Sangui: "That's right. Look, even when Duanmu Xueying died, none of her family members dared to call the police. If it weren't for the hospital, we wouldn't have known she was dead."
Xu Lin: "Stop wasting time here and go to the hospital to see what's going on!"
In the hospital, Situ and the high priest, who had not slept all night, looked very tired.
When Situ saw the police coming, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
Situ whispered in the High Priest's ear, "The police are here. They're definitely up to no good. They must have heard about it from somewhere. I know that woman. You don't have to say anything later. Just let me do it."
The high priest nodded.
Situ walked over and took the initiative to greet Xu Lin: "Long time no see, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Xu Lin: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I just want to ask you one thing: do you still consider me your friend?"
Situ: "Need I tell you this? When did I treat you as an outsider?"
Xu Lin: "Then why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Situ: "That's my boss's family's business. They're silent, so it's hard for me to speak up. Every family has its own problems. It's hard to meddle in other people's family affairs, and I can't meddle in my boss's business!"
Xu Lin: "Where is Nangong Yu now?"
Situ was about to answer when a loud and familiar voice suddenly came from behind Xu Lin: "I'm here, Officer Xu, is there anything you want to know?"
Xu Lin quickly turned around and saw that Nangong Yu was standing behind her.
Xu Lin: "Mr. Nangong, we already know about your sister's situation. The dead cannot be brought back to life, so please accept my condolences."
Nangong Yu: "Thank you for your comfort. You came all the way here not just to comfort me, right?"
Xu Lin: "Duanmu Xueying died from a neurotoxin attack. This neurotoxin is prohibited from circulation on the market, so we believe her death is definitely not a simple accident. We have decided to open a case for investigation."
Nangong Yu: "Although I think your chances of solving the case are slim, if you like to investigate, go ahead and investigate! I also want to see what you can find out."
Xu Lin: "It was your family's driver who took Miss Duanmu to the hospital, right? I heard he's awake now. We plan to ask him first. After all, he's the first eyewitness."
Nangong Yu: "I'm not familiar with handling cases. You can do whatever you want. I will try my best to cooperate if you need me. But now I just want to take good care of my sister's funeral. Excuse me."
Xu Lin and Wu Sangui came to the driver's ward and saw that he was not seriously injured and was able to get out of bed and exercise on his own.
"Hello, we are the police."
"Oh! You are police officers. Please take a seat." The driver greeted them warmly.
Xu Lin: "We won't disturb you while you're recovering, right? If it's not inconvenient, we can talk tomorrow."
Driver: "It's okay. The doctor told me yesterday that I only ingested a small amount of poison. With timely treatment, I would have been fine and could have been discharged. It was Mr. Nangong who sympathized with me, so he allowed me to recuperate here for a few more days at public expense. But my wife was not so lucky. Alas..."
The driver still blamed himself for not being able to rescue Duanmu Xueying.
Xu Lin: "Tell me in detail what happened that day!"
Driver: "That day, my wife was shopping at the Donkey store on Orchard Road and was about to get into the car when she was attacked by a man wearing a mask. I was about to get out of the car to stop him, but he ran away. I saw my wife lying on the ground, so I didn't chase him and rushed her to the hospital."
Xu Lin: "Can you describe the murderer's appearance?"
Driver: "He came prepared, wearing a mask and a hat. It happened so quickly that I don't remember any of his features. I can only say that he was about my height, but I can't say anything else."
Xu Lin: "Thank you for your cooperation. Have a good rest! I'll come back to you if I need anything."
Driver: "You're welcome anytime. I've been working as a driver for Mr. Nangong for several years. He and Mr. Situ are both good people. His family has been in trouble one after another, and I can't help much. I'm really ashamed."
Wu Sangui: "You have done your best. You are also a good employee who is loyal to your duties. There is no need to blame yourself too much."
Xu Lin: "We're leaving first."
After they left the driver's ward, Wu Sangui asked: "Where are we going now?"
"Let's ask the doctor about the situation, and then go to the accident site to see if there is any valuable surveillance video."
They found Duanmu Xueying's attending physician, Xu Lin: "Doctor, can you tell us how this poison kills people?"
The doctor hadn't rested all night and was exhausted, but he still explained to them in detail: "This poison can be absorbed through the skin into the internal organs, causing the body's white blood cells to suddenly stop regenerating, leading to organ failure and death. Although Miss Duanmu was brought here in time, the murderer must have concentrated the poison on her eyes. This poison has the greatest effect and the fastest effect in the eyes, which is why her death was accelerated. The accompanying driver only had a minor infection and is not seriously injured."
Wu Sangui: "This poison is so strong that even the people accompanying it will be infected. Is the life of the person who administered the poison in danger?"
Doctor: "That's hard to say. If the person who poisoned you took adequate precautions or injected you with an antidote beforehand, you shouldn't be in any danger."
Wu Sangui: "Thank you, doctor. Also, listen to my advice. Although doctors are said to be like parents, they are also human beings. Look at your current condition. Forget saving people and curing illnesses. I think you are about to lose yourself."
Doctor: "I had a lot going on last night. I was planning to go home, but now I've run into you guys again! I don't care. Even if the sky falls, I'm going to go back and rest this time."
Xu Lin didn't dare to disturb them any further and hurried back to the police station with Wu Sangui.
The two sorted out the clues of the case, then watched all the surveillance videos in the Orchard Road area and raised several questions.
First: Why did the murderer attack Duanmu Xueying? Was it a personal vendetta or was he paid to ward off evil?
Second: Is the murderer still alive?
They printed out the screenshots from the surveillance cameras and posted them on bulletin boards on major streets in City Z.
The day of Duanmu Xueying's funeral soon arrived. Situ rented a fairly large mourning hall and decided to hold a memorial service for her on Friday, and then spread the news to major media outlets.
After seeing the news, Xiao Yuehan laughed from the bottom of his heart.
He smiled and said to Nangong Lan beside him: "I am really happy about your gift."
Nangong Lan: "Isn't that right? Things are different now. You're a big star now, and we all rely on you for our livelihood! You're not easy to please! How can I come up with a decent gift to please you without putting in some thought?"
Xiao Yuehan: "Your hands and feet are clean, right? Will they find out about us?"
