Chapter 406 Clues
Liu Jian: "Pu Yi is such an unreliable guy. He thinks he can just release someone and forget about it. He doesn't even bother to see if they can make a living."
The hunchbacked man quickly said, "Don't blame them. They've already arranged social welfare for me, and a social worker will be here in a few days to plan my future. They'll give me a free bed in the nursing home here, and a 500 yuan disability pension every month. I've already been half buried in the earth, and now I have food, clothes, a roof over my head, and some extra money. I'm really satisfied."
Xu Lin felt somewhat comforted when she heard this. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only say politely, "That's good, that's good."
Since there was nothing more to say, Liu Jian and Xu Lin turned around and said goodbye.
On the long-distance bus, Xu Lin yelled: "Ah..."
Liu Jian, who was sitting next to him, was so scared that he quickly took off his headphones. Everyone in the car couldn't help but look at their seats.
"What happened?" Liu Jian asked hurriedly.
Xu Lin also felt a little out of control. She lowered her voice and said, "Oh no, we forgot about Sun Xiaomei."
Liu Jian: "I thought it was something else. Please don't be so alarmed. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about a drug dealer? We need to focus on the Wei Zongxian case right now. Let's leave Sun Xiaomei to Pu Yi and the others! We have to trust in their ability."
Xu Lin thought about it and closed her mouth, lying quietly in her seat with her eyes closed to rest.
After more than ten hours of bumpy ride, they finally returned to the police station in City Z. They handed over the information they knew and Zhao Lingyu's data to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui: "I understand the general situation. You should go back and rest for a while. We will make a detailed plan tomorrow."
The two of them could finally return to their warm home and have a good sleep.
The next morning, Xu Lin returned to his territory and was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
As soon as Liu Jian arrived, they found Wu Sangui and held a meeting.
Xu Lin spoke first: "What does Zhao Lingyu do for a living now?"
Wu Sangui: "According to my external investigation last night, she is currently working as a cleaner at the city's 123 Mental Hospital. However, based on the preliminary information you provided me, I think she may not be as simple as she appears."
Xu Lin: "Actually, I don't discriminate against those released from prison. Some people are able to reform and integrate into the world after being released from prison. But like Wu Sangui said, I don't believe Zhao Lingyu is innocent in this matter."
Liu Jian: "What we need is evidence."
Xu Lin and Wu Sangui said in unison: "Then I'll send you to monitor her."
Liu Jian looked unwilling.
"Why me again?"
Xu Lin: "What do you mean, you don't have to work? Or should I send you to stay at the Lingsi Meditation Center?"
Liu Jian immediately said, "I'll go monitor Zhao Lingyu right away."
Wu Sangui: "She didn't remarry after her release from prison. She lives alone in the staff dormitory of the 123 Mental Hospital. She has a good relationship with her colleagues. If you discover any other problems, you can take immediate action and report the situation later."
Liu Jian gave a standard military salute and replied loudly, "Yes."
He drove his private car to the mental hospital where Zhao Lingyu was and found her working, cleaning the hospital meticulously.
Then he ran back to the car and waited for her next outing.
While waiting, Liu Jian ate potato chips and drank milk tea. He seemed leisurely, but his eyes never left the 123 Mental Hospital.
However, Zhao Lingyu seemed to know that someone was following her, and she basically never left the 123 Psychiatric Hospital. She only went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities after get off work or went out to have fun with colleagues during her breaks.
Just like the reaction of the other team of colleagues who were in charge of guarding, Zhao Lingyu did not show any abnormality.
This was Liu Jian's last day tracking Zhao Lingyu. He had originally planned to give up, but when he thought about how much he had worked so hard and risked his life to find the clue of Zhao Lingyu in the natural village, he felt reluctant to let go now.
Anyway, it was the last day and he was not afraid of alerting the enemy, so he decided to go into the 123 Mental Hospital to find out what was going on.
At first glance, Zhao Lingyu in the 123 Mental Hospital is no different from an ordinary cleaner.
However, the meticulous Liu Jian noticed something strange, that is, she loved to run to the room on the top floor, the 5th floor, and he couldn't figure it out.
In order to resolve the doubts in his mind, he had an idea. He pretended to be a patient's family member and ran to Zhao Lingyu to ask him all kinds of questions.
"Oh, it's so hard to have my wife at home suddenly fall ill!"
Zhao Lingyu, who was standing by, pretended not to hear and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Liu Jian spoke again.
"Life is too tiring. I don't want to live anymore. One day I'll take her and the child and jump off the building! There's no point in living anymore. I don't want to leave them to suffer in this world. It's better to die together and close our eyes and be done with it."
After hearing this, Zhao Lingyu could no longer move.
She walked over to Liu Jian and comforted him, "Young people, why do you have to think about anything else when you are young? Why do you want to commit suicide?"
Liu Jian: "Sister, you don't understand! Who wouldn't want to live even if there's only a glimmer of hope? I really have no way out."
Zhao Lingyu: "One person's plan is short, and two people's plan is long. If you have any concerns, you can tell me and let me weigh them for you."
Liu Jian: "My wife and I have been married for several years. Recently, after having a child, she's been acting up, saying people are trying to harm her and even hitting me. The scariest thing is, I've discovered she sometimes hurts the child. I've left the child with my parents. I thought she was just suffering from postpartum depression, so I took her to a specialized hospital for treatment. Only then did I realize she had more than just postpartum depression. It turns out she had a family history of mental illness, a fact she'd been hiding from me. Later, the doctor secretly told me it's incurable and can only be controlled with medication. There's also a 50% chance it will be passed on to my poor baby, who's only a few months old. Now, whenever I see my wife going berserk, I feel terrified, and when I think of our son's dire future, I feel hopeless. Do you think we can still live like this?"
Zhao Lingyu: "Alas, every family has its own difficulties. You think you can't make it, but there are many people who can't survive even more than you. But don't you see that they just gritted their teeth and got through it? You should do the same! Why do you talk about life and death so easily when you encounter a little setback in life? You are too hypocritical."
Liu Jian thought to himself, "You're the one being hypocritical. You're a human trafficker, and you're pretending to be a close friend to me. Are you trying to sell me off like a pig? If it weren't for solving the case, I wouldn't waste any more time talking to someone like you."
Liu Jian: "After hearing what you said, I feel a little better. Fortunately, you listened to my sad story, otherwise I would not know where to vent all my bitterness."
