Lu Yuan only mentioned his suspicions, and the police identified Sun Changsheng and Zhang Yuping as the suspects.
However, lacking substantial evidence and failing to make any breakthroughs in Zhang Yuping's interrogation, Lu Yuan decided to start with Sun Changsheng.
Since Sun Changsheng and Zhang Yuping framed him, he wouldn't mind giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Using the Revolutionary Committee is a good idea. And we can also take advantage of what they left behind a few days ago.
He had considered that Sun Changsheng saw him as a thorn in his side, and regardless of whether or not he could be found out that Sun Changsheng was the murderer who hurt Grandpa Liu, this person had to be dealt with.
With Sun Changsheng arrested, the old man in the cowshed no longer had any worries and was able to tell the truth.
Put more pressure on Zhang Yuping, making her realize that it's better for a fellow Daoist to die than for a poor one, and that she will definitely betray Sun Changsheng in order to protect herself.
And since Sun Changsheng is finished, he will definitely drag Zhang Yuping down with him.
He always loved watching dog-eat-dog dramas.
Unexpectedly, the old man in the cowshed's words cleared Sun Changsheng of suspicion.
The plans were completely disrupted.
Lu Yuan was relieved. No matter what, Sun Changsheng was really finished this time and could not cause him any more trouble in the future.
Two prohibited items and an English book are enough to give him a hard time.
He cannot escape punishment unless he can prove that the item is not his.
But suddenly, Grandpa Liu's case hit a deadlock again, which made him very unhappy.
"Officer Song, I'm sorry, it was my misjudgment."
Song Minghao, however, was very understanding. "How can we blame you? You were just cooperating with our work."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, "It seems we can only wait until Grandpa Liu wakes up before we can discuss it further."
Song Minghao is optimistic: "Dr. Gao said that Grandpa Liu's condition is getting better day by day, and he may wake up at any time."
For Old Man Liu's safety, Lu Yuan told Song Minghao about concealing Old Man Liu's situation that day.
Not only did they not tell the truth to He Shenghua and Sun Maodou, who were taking care of him, they also claimed to the outside world that Grandpa Liu's condition had deteriorated again, thus deceiving the murderer.
There are some advantages, though. At least no one has been causing trouble for Grandpa Liu these past few days, and things are getting better and better.
Lu Yuan went to the health center again, and first went to the doctor's office to find Gao Weishan.
"Xiao Lu, you've come at the perfect time. I was just looking for you."
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Gao Weishan excitedly spoke first.
"Dr. Gao wanted to see me about something?"
"Come, sit down and talk."
Gao Weishan even poured him a glass of water, which was very polite.
Lu Yuan didn't seem uncomfortable at all, and calmly took the water and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
He was thirsty too.
“Xiao Lu, we’ve prepared the medicine your wife gave us last time, but after clinical trials, it’s not as effective as the medicine she gave us. Could you ask your wife to come over and help us figure out what the problem is?”
Lu Yuan refused without hesitation, "Dr. Gao, my wife doesn't know anything about medicine, so I'm afraid she can't help you much."
Gao Weishan persisted, "Your wife may not know medicine, but she might know pharmacology. Could you please pass on a message and ask her to come and take a look? It's okay if she can't figure it out."
Seeing that he had already said that, Lu Yuan had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell her. Whether she wants to come see me or not is up to her."
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Lu," Gao Weishan said sincerely.
As he spoke, he took a net bag out of the small cabinet on his desk.
“These are some snacks my wife sent and some welfare items from the health center. I don’t really like them, so please take them back to your wife. Consider it my way of thanking her.”
Since it wasn't for himself, Lu Yuan couldn't very well refuse it on behalf of his fake wife.
Considering that the fake wife had indeed given him medicine, which could be considered a help, it was only right that she thanked him. So he accepted the gifts.
"Then I'll thank Dr. Gao on behalf of my wife."
This gift is quite substantial; it consists of high-end pastries, and even includes chocolates that aren't sold at the supply and marketing cooperative.
This item seems to be available only at Friendship Store.
It seems that Dr. Gao's family is quite influential.
Thinking to myself, since I've received such an expensive gift, I should reciprocate with a gift in return.
I'll go hunt a pheasant or a rabbit in the mountains another day and give it to him.
Lu Yuan returned home carrying a net bag full of things, and to his surprise, his whole family was there today.
They all sat silently in the main room, their faces clearly not looking well.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Yuping even had a handprint on her face.
Even a fool could tell that it was Lu Guoqing who did it.
Hey, his dad's actually gotten cocky! He's learned to beat his wife!
I didn't see Wen Moxue. Looking at the closed door, she's probably inside.
Without saying a word, he went straight to his door and started knocking.
"Wife, I'm home."
The people in the main room stared wide-eyed at what he was carrying.
The contents of the net bag were clearly visible, and many of them were items they had never seen before, appearing to be of very high quality.
Although they didn't recognize them, that didn't stop them from knowing that these were all delicious foods.
Lu Xiaojun couldn't hold back any longer and came running over, drool practically dripping from his mouth.
"Big brother, what are you carrying? I want to eat."
Lu Yuan was amused by his self-righteous behavior in demanding things.
"If you want food, go find your parents."
Lu Xiaojun turned to look at Lu Guoqing and Zhang Yuping, hoping they could help him ask for it. But neither of them said a word.
She looks like she's about to cry when her lips twitch.
Just then, the door was opened.
Wen Moxue's pretty face appeared before my eyes.
Lu Xiaojun quickly suppressed his tears and said to Wen Moxue, "Sister-in-law, my older brother brought you a lot of delicious food, but I haven't tried any of it. Can I have some?"
