Chapter 18 Chapter 18 1025
When school started again in March, Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman both transferred to schools in Changxia City, and Fang Xiaoman continued her senior year of high school.
I don’t know what Hui Haiming’s ability is, but with just one phone call from her, all the procedures were given the green light. The transfer was completed smoothly, and Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman even got Chinese identity cards.
This is equivalent to immigrating from Ninglan Country to China. There is no resistance at all and it can be done easily.
Su Lanyi drove the two of them to school.
The jade shop still had business, and Hui Haiming and Su Lan couldn't move away. They were also worried about Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman living alone, so they let them go home every day.
Fortunately, the two cities are adjacent to each other, and are actually just slightly larger cities, so the round trip is not far.
At present, China still has a system of distributing welfare housing to factories, and it will take a few more years for commercial housing to be available. Hui Haiming means that they will not compete with the workers for housing.
On the way to school, Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman whispered, "Why do I feel like Big Sister means that as long as she wants, she can fight for it?"
Fang Xiaoman said, "I used to think my eldest sister had connections in Longxinggang, but I didn't expect her biggest connections were in China!"
"...Isn't my elder sister really the king's princess who was cast away from home?"
Su Lanyi looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror.
Sang Baiyu touched the brand new yet ancient car and took the lead in expressing his opinion, "I will study hard when I get there! I won't run around!"
Su Lanyi said "hmm".
Because of his overly cold personality, Sang Baiyu is still embarrassed to joke with him. She can only vaguely feel that Su Lanyi's coldness is directed at everyone, not her.
Sang Baiyu transferred to Fenghua Middle School.
Fang Xiaoman is in No. 1 Middle School.
Before entering the school, Su Lanyi reminded them, "This is China, not Longxinggang. The old ways won't work in China. Keep a low profile."
Fang Xiaoman responded absentmindedly.
Su Lanyi said, "Especially you, you are not allowed to fight with your classmates."
Fang Xiaoman nodded.
I understand. I need to find the teacher to take action.
Su Lanyi looked at Sang Baiyu again.
Sang Baiyu was carrying a schoolbag and holding a water bottle and lunch in her hands. She looked like a good student who went to school obediently. It seemed that Su Landi had nothing to remind her.
He hesitated for a moment, patted Sang Baiyu's shoulder, and said, "Go."
Fang Xiaoman's eyes widened into big grapes.
Second brother never spoke softly to her!
The two schools are close to each other, so they can take care of each other.
The two waved goodbye at the fork in the road and went to their respective schools.
Fenghua Middle School is indeed much more serious than Pingxiang Middle School.
Today is the first day of school. Students in school uniforms walk in one after another. Sang Baiyu looks at their uniforms and shakes his head.
I didn’t expect that the school uniforms thirty years ago and thirty years later are equally ugly. Can ugly school uniforms be passed down?
The atmosphere at Fenghua Middle School was much more tense than that at Pingxiang Middle School. Sang Baiyu found Class 5 and walked in. A small number of students were studying.
As soon as she walked in, the attention of others was attracted. A girl came over and asked, "Classmate, who are you looking for?"
Sang Baiyu said obediently, "Hello, I'm a transfer student. My homeroom teacher is not in the office, so the teacher in the office asked me to wait for him in the classroom first."
The whole class exclaimed "Wow" together.
They didn't have any special feelings about the transfer student, they just thought she was well-behaved and pretty, and they found her particularly pleasing to the eye.
The girl took her hand and wanted to help her find a seat.
The other two girls came over curiously and asked, "Which factory do your parents work in? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
Changxia City is countless times stronger than Longxinggang, but if it were placed in China, it would just be a small city not worth mentioning.
There are only a few factories in small cities, and Fenghua Middle School, in particular, only accepts children from those factories, so everyone knows them.
Sang Baiyu explained that she was from Longxinggang.
The students exclaimed "Wow" again.
At this moment, a figure staggered to his feet in the corner of the classroom.
His voice sounded unhappy and familiar, "When I told you I was transferred from Longxinggang, your reaction wasn't the same as it is now."
When he heard the sound, Sang Baiyu's first reaction was to move his nose.
The voice was familiar, she must have seen it before, so she wanted to remember the characteristics of the other person's smell.
but……
Why is it a bit like a dog's habit?
The boy walked over with a wronged look on his face, wanting to blame the new classmate, but was stunned when he saw Sang Baiyu.
Sang Baiyu also recognized him, "You are... a rich man."
Chi Xi, who had grown a little taller, walked happily to Sang Baiyu's side, "You're here for school too? Didn't you say you'd come find me? Why aren't you here?!"
Sang Baiyu: "..."
Who is he?
Sang Baiyu was arranged by the teacher to sit next to Chi Xi.
The teacher kindly reassured her, "There are no empty seats now, but our class will swap seats every month, and we'll move you forward then."
The current rule of teachers arranging seats is that the students they like are placed in the front row.
Chi Xi was very unconvinced, "I haven't taken the exam yet."
Teacher: “?, Is it related to the exam?”
Chi Xi said: "She may not be good at studying!"
Teachers generally like students with good grades.
Hearing this, the teacher patted Sang Baiyu's shoulder with a smile, "Who can not like Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu, don't let him lead you astray. Don't talk to him in class."
Chi Xi: "..."
Not fair!!
Chi Xi complained to Sang Baiyu indignantly, and revealed all his own affairs while complaining.
He transferred to Fenghua Middle School last semester. Fenghua Middle School is the best junior high school in Changxia City. I heard that you can't get in without some connections.
Sang Baiyu thought that her elder sister was indeed no ordinary person.
Chi Xi also said that he came to Fenghua Middle School to study hard, but for some reason, Chinese, mathematics, and English did not like him very much.
Sang Baiyu asked: "Do politics, history, physics, and biology like you?"
Chi Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily."
Sang Baiyu: "..."
Chi Xi emphasized, "But my family hopes that I can have a Chinese diploma. They want me to study at a Chinese university and then return to inherit the family business."
Family business...
Sang Baiyu thought of Chi Xi's extended version of the car, she still didn't know what brand it was.
Chi Xi was still nagging, "But it's so awkward to go to school in Changxia. I don't like it. The teachers here are too weird."
So far, everything is normal at Fenghua Middle School. The students are now memorizing English words. It is very similar to the place where Sang Baiyu used to study. Sang Baiyu doesn't find it strange.
This is the safe China. Everyone is studying and working without having to worry about safety. How wonderful.
Chi Xi said, "It's very strange! The teachers are not afraid of me. They don't let me use my privileges! I told them I'm a member of the Chi family, but they weren't afraid at all. Isn't it strange!"
Sang Baiyu looked at Chi Xi calmly.
Both Wu Yuanqing and Hui Haiming mentioned the Chi family, and they gritted their teeth every time they mentioned it.
She remembered that there were five major families in Ninglan Country, and one of them was surnamed Chi.
Sang Baiyu asked tentatively, "Are you from the Chi family of Ninglan Country?"
Chi Xi said excitedly: "I knew you could understand me, you are from Longxinggang."
Sang Baiyu said nothing.
The Chi family's child is attending school in Changxia City? This news must be told to the eldest sister immediately.
Although Hui Haiming did not explain to her the reason for staying in Longxinggang, she could feel that Hui Haiming was particularly concerned about the Chi family, and perhaps it was related to the Chi family.
Sang Baiyu decided to be friends with Chi Xi for the time being.
Apart from being nagging, playful, not studying, unable to sit still, always pushing tables and chairs, and pulling the hair of the girl in the front row for no reason... Chi Xi doesn't have any major problems!
Sang Baiyu tried hard to hold back.
Tolerate!
During class, Sang Baiyu did not respond to Chi Xi. She listened carefully and took notes seriously. After class, she went to the teacher to ask for a list of books. The content she was learning was too simple for her.
The main reason was that Ning Hongying's teaching content was quite diverse. In addition to cryptography, she also taught her some physics and chemistry.
Sang Baiyu's performance in science was already good, and he surpassed her in all of a sudden.
The teacher fully affirmed Sang Baiyu's positive attitude.
Every time in class, Chi Xi would think that Sang Baiyu disliked him and felt very disappointed.
But as soon as the get out of class was over, Sang Baiyu became lively again and enthusiastically invited Chi Xi to chat and get water together. He almost asked her to go to the toilet together, mainly because it was inconvenient due to gender.
So Chi Xi fell into confusion.
The previous second, he was chatting with Sang Baiyu in a friendly manner.
The next second the class bell rang, and Sang Baiyu stopped talking.
Chi Xi: "..."
Women are so complicated.
That night, Sang Baiyu reported all of Chi Xi's situation to Hui Haiming.
The family was eating together. After listening to Sang Baiyu's words, Hui Haiming put down his chopsticks and was lost in thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Chi Mingyuan does have two sons. The eldest son is Chi Zhao, and the younger son... There is no information about the younger son at the moment."
Sang Baiyu asked curiously, "Why don't you know?"
"Chi Zhao is 17 years old this year, right? He has been helping the family manage the business for a long time. The youngest son should be a few years younger than him. Not letting him show up is to protect him."
Sang Baiyu was even more confused. "He's only 17 and not yet an adult. Why didn't he protect his eldest son?"
In her opinion, as long as you haven't graduated from college, you are still a child.
This concept does not include her, she is a mature adult.
"I don't know about that. Maybe Chi Zhao is already good enough, or maybe he loves his younger son more?" Hui Haiming said, "After Chi Zhao showed up, he did a lot of things. Don't treat him like a child. His methods are even more cruel than Chi Mingyuan's."
The fact that he was able to gain a foothold in Ninglan Country in such a short time shows how ruthless his methods were, and this Chi Zhao was even more notorious.
Sang Baiyu sighed again, it turns out that bad guys also have people they need to be wary of.
Worse people!
Until Friday, Fenghua Middle School was calm.
The school experience in Changxia City is much better than that in Longxinggang. She doesn't have to worry about messy things. The classmates around her are basically studying and rarely play around.
On Friday, Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman took a ride back with Chi Xi. This was Hui Haiming's instruction. She wanted to see who Chi Xi really was.
The luxury car stopped in front of the jade shop again. Without Sang Baiyu's invitation, Chi Xi got out of the car and went into the jade shop together.
There were several crystal clear jade bracelets on the locked counter. Chi Xi's eyes were attracted and he walked over excitedly, "Are your products so good?"
Although Chi Xi cannot open good stones, he has a good eye and can recognize good goods.
Fang Xiaoman teased, "So you're an expert in jade."
Chi Xi nodded, "The best jade in Ninglan Country is in my house."
Of course he knows what kind of jade is good.
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
Damn rich people.
Sang Baiyu said: "This is the jade we found last time we went to the market."
Because of its good quality and high price, Hui Haiming stayed in the store waiting for the right person.
Chi Xi's mouth gradually opened.
He remembered that Sang Baiyu picked up a lot of stones at that time.
Looking at the number of jade bracelets, could it be that all those stones have yielded fine jade?!
Chi Xi: "..."
Isn't this different from his experience?!
Chi Xi knelt down to Sang Baiyu, "Boss, please teach me!"
Hui Haiming and Su Lanyi stood not far away and observed the two.
They were on high alert. If Chi Xi was Chi Mingyuan's youngest son, they had to find out his information as soon as possible.
but……
Hui Haiming's expression was indescribable. "Him? He looks silly, doesn't he?"
Su Lanyi: "..., like a nouveau riche."
Chi Xi stayed at the jade shop for dinner.
Dinner was prepared by Su Lanyi, who is a first-class cook, so Sang Baiyu ate an extra bowl of rice.
Chi Xi probably doesn't eat home-cooked meals often, so everything he eats is strange to him.
Hui Haiming asked calmly, "Have you ever cooked Chinese food at home?"
Chi Xi had just taken a bite of food when he mumbled, "My parents are both from Ninglan."
"But you speak Chinese."
"My dad has been to China. He said that if you want to do business with China, you have to be able to speak both sides' languages."
Sang Baiyu suddenly asked, "What about your brother? Does he speak Chinese too?"
Chi Xi didn't notice anything unusual at all. He nodded and said, "He can speak English, and maybe other languages too. He's really amazing."
Hui Haiming's face darkened.
Chi Xi is most likely Chi Zhao's younger brother.
In the past, she was the one thinking about how to get close to the Chi family, but she didn't expect Chi Xi to come to them on his own initiative.
Sang Baiyu didn’t think too much about it. After finishing her meal, she and Fang Xiaoman went for a walk in front of the store to help digest the food.
Wu Yuanqing closed all the unqualified shops on Pingxiang Street and arrested a group of people and took them to the police station. Pingxiang Street is now much quieter.
Chi Xi followed and walked out. "It's too troublesome to run back and forth like this. I have to ask my dad to buy a house in Changxia City, in a neighborhood near the school. Then I can go home and play games at noon. How nice."
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
She doesn't like to be friends with rich people.
While the three were chatting, Sang Baiyu was the first to notice the thick black smoke rolling up in the distance, and the raging fire rushing into the night sky, with sparks flying out.
Sang Baiyu climbed up from the recliner and said, "It's on fire, a big fire."
Fang Xiaoman immediately picked up the bicycle key and said, "Let's go! Watch the fun!"
Sang Baiyu sat in the back seat.
Chi Xi was confused for a moment, then hurried to find the driver.
The three of them rushed to the fire scene together.
After the limousine left, Hui Haiming and Su Lanyi walked to the door. Hui Haiming said in a deep voice, "It's not safe for Xiaoyu to be with Chi Xi."
Su Lanyi said, "We have done a good job of concealing our identities. They won't find out that Xiaoyu was lost in the first place. We can't find out who her biological parents are, and they won't be able to find out either."
Hui Haiming thought for a moment and said, "Protect Xiaoyu during this period and act accordingly."
*
At first, Sang Baiyu, like everyone else, thought that Fang Xiaoman just liked to watch the fun.
She is indispensable for such a big event as a fire.
But after being with Fang Xiaoman for almost a year, Sang Baiyu discovered that every time she arrived at the scene, she would stop passers-by and ask about the situation. Last time a pharmacy caught fire and the clerks were trapped in the store, Fang Xiaoman wet the quilt with cold water and rushed in wrapped in the quilt after learning about it.
The same is true this time.
The fire broke out in a bungalow with houses on both sides, and the fire had spread outward.
Fang Xiaoman randomly grabbed a person who had escaped from the house next door and cried, "My father went to look for my mother, and they haven't come out yet."
Fang Xiaoman turned around to find water.
Chi Xi was frightened by the thick smoke and raging fire that looked like a vicious dragon. He stared at the two of them blankly, completely not knowing what to do.
The driver tried to take Chi Xi away, but Chi Xi hugged someone and refused to leave.
He was actually very scared. He didn't know why he stayed, but he just didn't want to leave.
Wu Yuanqing and others have arrived at the scene.
Longxinggang does not have a professional fire brigade. When a fire occurs, local residents and soldiers usually work together to put out the fire. After Wu Yuanqing came to Longxinggang, the police station also joined the firefighting team.
He immediately spotted Fang Xiaoman trying to rush in and shouted, "Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Sang Baiyu was already standing at the door of that house, pointing the way to Fang Xiaoman, "You can go in this way, and you'll be out in a minute."
Wu Yuanqing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "You are joining in the fun?! You two step back, I'm going in!"
Sang Baiyu said seriously: "Sister Xiaoman has saved many people. I have advised her, but she is willing to do this, so I will try my best to help her. If she goes in, the possibility of success is much higher than your uncle."
The first half of the sentence made Wu Yuanqing look complicated, but the second half...
"What do you mean by high probability?"
Sang Baiyu gave a subtle smile.
Wu Yuanqing thought of the time when in Mangzhai, Sang Baiyu suggested going to see the tiankeng, and then pointed out that there were corpses and explosives under the tiankeng, which was the tiankeng that Fang Xiaoman had dug. At that time, the police station only prepared a rope long enough.
Wu Yuanqing also tried to go down and take a look, but his conscience did not allow him to let Fang Xiaoman take the risk, but...
The shameful history made Wu Yuanqing too embarrassed to face people.
As he spoke, Fang Xiaoman rushed in again.
Sang Baiyu quickly found a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, and planned to rush in.
Wu Yuanqing: "!!, you want to take a risk too?!"
Sang Baiyu said, "If I go in, my chances of success are higher than yours."
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Forget Fang Xiaoman, but how dare Sang Baiyu make such a boast?
He has been spending every day in the boxing gym in the past few months!
Wu Yuanqing felt so angry that his liver ached when he thought of his shameful history.
Wu Yuanqing rushed in.
Chi Xi was stunned. "You, you guys are really going in?"
Judging from the extent of the fire, it could kill people, right?
Aren't they afraid of dying in there? Giving their lives to save strangers?
Fortunately, Wu Yuanqing and Sang Baiyu went in. Two adults were trapped. The roof beams collapsed and they had no way to go. They had already fallen into a coma.
The three of them worked together to lift the two men out. Before Wu Yuanqing could speak, Sang Baiyu pushed him away. After observing the condition of the two men, he and Fang Xiaoman performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on them.
Their technique was quite professional and the two woke up in a short while.
Wu Yuanqing and Chi Xi were stunned.
Especially Chi Xi, he is the same age as Sang Baiyu, but faced with such a scene, he has no idea what to do.
Throughout the whole process, he stood by and watched them operate like an outsider.
There was warm applause all around.
Fang Xiaoman was very pleased and welcomed the praise with his head held high.
Sang Baiyu asked Wu Yuanqing for a medical kit and treated the wounds of the two men.
Her bandaging technique is also quite professional, as if she has studied it systematically.
The same is true for Fang Xiaoman.
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Isn’t this right?
Wu Yuanqing asked suspiciously, "Are you from the military?"
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.
Sang Baiyu was surprised and asked, "Isn't this common sense?"
Fang Xiaoman: "Uncle, you don't know how to do it?"
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
I was despised again.
With everyone working together, the fire gradually died down, the billowing smoke gradually dissipated, the mad beast calmed down, and was finally extinguished.
The space distorted by the heat wave gradually returned to normal, but the residual heat from the burned-out house frame was still there, making people afraid to approach.
Sparks of fire appeared, and Sang Baiyu poured a bucket of water over it, and the sparks disappeared.
Wu Yuanqing asked Ruan Feng to help relocate two families who were affected. They ran away quickly and there were no casualties.
Sobbing sounds were heard in their ears, and everyone looked at the house that had been burned to charcoal in silence. The pungent smell in the air had not yet dissipated. They supported each other, and the crying became clearer and clearer.
The smoke dissipated, the stars shone, and Longxinggang returned to its original state.
Wu Yuanqing looked at the source of the fire. The house in the middle was the worst burned. Now only the burnt bricks could be seen. There were black things stuck together on the ground, and it was impossible to tell what they were.
Since the fire broke out, no one has escaped.
Wu Yuanqing asked, "Who lives here?"
The neighbor who was helping to put out the fire replied, "Ricardo's family, his wife, his mother, and two children, five people living there."
"They're not home?"
This is the answer Wu Yuanqing longed for.
The neighbor shook his head and sighed, "Ricardo is the only one working outside his family. His wife and children are always at home. Ricardo has been back a long time ago."
But since the fire broke out, there has been no movement from this family.
Wu Yuanqing had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he slowly looked at Sang Baiyu.
Sang Baiyu nodded slightly.
She hadn't said it just now, but in fact, she had already smelled the smell of human flesh burned by the high temperature of fire, very clearly.
After the temperature dropped, Wu Yuanqing took protective measures and entered the scene.
Sang Baiyu stood in the yard and looked inside. Wu Yuanqing had already found the first body.
The corpse was curled up and charred, shaped like a fist.
It's even impossible to tell gender based on appearance alone.
Wu Yuanqing waved to Nata, who walked in timidly, "Inspector, are we going to come in and check? Are you sure?"
The house has been burned to a skeleton. Will it collapse?
Wu Yuanqing said, "The resignation letter is on my desk. You can leave now."
Nata: “…”
Of course he couldn't resign.
Wu Yuanqing said, "Don't want to leave? If you don't leave, it's your responsibility. Do you just want to take the money and not take responsibility?"
Nata said: "I'll go find someone now!"
The detectives carried out four bodies one after another.
The neighbors gathered around and sighed.
"Four people, all gone."
"The Ricardo family is so unlucky. They had a child like that. Just when life was getting better, there was a fire at home."
"There are five people in my family, and four of them died at once..."
Four charred bodies were taken back to the police station.
Wu Yuanqing stayed at the fire scene. He wanted to investigate the cause of the fire. If it happened in China, this would be the job of a firefighter. He was not a professional, so it would be difficult to investigate.
Fortunately, Sang Baiyu didn't leave.
She pointed to the window and said, "Here, the smell is the strongest."
Wu Yuanqing silently lamented the death of traditional criminal investigation in his heart, then walked towards Sang Baiyu and asked, "What does it smell like?"
"The smell of gasoline. The fire started here."
Wu Yuanqing also smelled gasoline, but he couldn't tell where it was strongest.
"Putting gasoline next to the window? Does this family need gasoline?"
The families nearby all looked quite poor.
"If someone had set the fire, pouring gasoline in through the window would have been possible," Sang Baiyu said.
Wu Yuanqing complained bitterly.
Of course he also thought of this, and this was also what he feared the most.
If someone sets a fire, it is a homicide, and a murder that wipes out an entire family.
A family of five, four died, it was so tragic.
Fang Xiaoman joked, "Uncle Inspector trusts our Xiaoyu very much now."
It's no longer the time to say that smelling is unreliable.
Faced with ridicule, Wu Yuanqing remained calm and said, "People must learn to accept new things and cannot remain unchanged."
“Tsk.”
We have to wait for the forensic doctor to come and investigate to find out who the deceased is and which one is missing.
Under Wu Yuanqing's protest, a forensic doctor was assigned to the police station. His skills were average and could not match those of Chinese forensic doctors, but it was better than having no one.
Wu Yuanqing asked about the situation of Ricardo's family on the spot. Since the fire had just broken out and Wu Yuanqing was the one who rushed in to save people, everyone was not very resistant to him and he explained the situation clearly in a few words.
"Ricardo is in his forties! The eldest son is twenty-four, and the youngest is eighteen. They usually get along well with us."
"His mother must be in her sixties or seventies, right? She loves her child very much."
"His eldest son has a mental problem and suffered a lot when he was young. But when he came back this time, he looked much more normal. I thought his family could finally live a happy life."
Sang Baiyu could already understand Ning Languo's language and even speak a few words. She asked, "What do you mean by 'brain problems'?"
"He's mentally ill!" the neighbor said. "He's had problems since he was a kid. Ricardo and his wife watched him when he was little. When he grew up and became a strong man, they couldn't control him anymore, so they sent him to the hospital. The hospital said they could cure him and the fees weren't very high. He seems much more honest this time."
Ricardo's eldest son is a mentally ill and violent person.
Wu Yuanqing thought that there were only four bodies at the scene and felt that it was not good.
Sang Baiyu asked faster than he could, "How is his relationship with his family?"
"Him? You mean Dara? No matter how good our relationship was, there should be problems after so many years. To be honest, when Dara gets angry, he doesn't care about anything. One time, he was smashing things at home, and I went to help stop him, but he beat me up too. Look at the scar at the corner of my eye, it was caused by him. His family was helpless and sent him to a mental hospital."
Sang Baiyu asked, "You just said he performed well this time?"
"He's pretty well behaved, better than before. He's been staying at home and hasn't left the house. I haven't heard him smashing things or hitting anyone at home. Is that good enough?"
Dara's behavior was abnormal after she was five years old. She had never worked or gone to school for many years. She was sent to a mental hospital a year ago and had not received any medication before that.
Sang Baiyu didn't quite believe that he was cured all of a sudden, and according to his neighbors' description, he seemed too quiet after returning home.
Sang Baiyu whispered to Wu Yuanqing, "Dara was sent to a mental hospital. From his perspective, he might have been abandoned. This matter needs to be investigated in detail. At least we need to find the person and then go to the mental hospital to ask him."
Wu Yuanqing laughed and said, "Thank you for arranging the work."
Sang Baiyu: "You're welcome! I have a day off tomorrow!"
Fang Xiaoman raised her hand and said, "I'm on vacation too."
After a long silence, Chi Xi came over and said, "Actually, I'm on vacation too."
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
*
Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman arrived at the police station as promised.
This time there was also Chi Xi, who came on a motorcycle.
Fang Xiaoman was speechless, "Why do you have to follow us?"
Chi Xi said: "You woke me up so quickly, it's amazing, I want to play with you."
Fang Xiaoman dislikes the useless Chi Xi.
Sang Baiyu could tell that Hui Haiming and Su Lanyi cared about Chi Xi very much, so she took the initiative to say, "Stay. We are classmates, and it's safer to be together."
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
Talking nonsense with eyes open.
Fang Xiaoman said, "Not only did you come here, but you also rode a motorcycle. You always show off in public, and we are embarrassed along with you."
Sang Baiyu looked at her sister Xiaoman silently.
Her sister Xiaoman’s favorite thing is to be in the spotlight.
Chi Xi was also aggrieved. "I know I have to be low-key. I specially changed to a motorcycle. This is the most low-key car in my family. Look, it's so shabby."
Fang Xiaoman looked at the brand new motorcycle: "..."
The three of them walked into the police station.
Wu Yuanqing got a headache when he saw the three of them. "What? Has the police station turned into a nursery?"
Fang Xiaoman immediately drew a line between herself and them, "I'm twenty, I'm an adult."
Sang Baiyu corrected him, "Only nineteen."
"twenty!"
"Long Xinggang doesn't count his age."
"That's twenty!"
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
He really treats this place as a kindergarten.
Sang Baiyu asked, "Are the autopsy results out yet? Has the fifth person been found?"
In comparison, Sang Baiyu seemed much more mature than Fang Xiaoman. Wu Yuanqing preferred to communicate with Sang Baiyu. He said, "There's no need to wait for the autopsy results. The forensic doctor isn't very good, so we'll have to ask my friend to come. What we can confirm now is that judging from the bones, Ricardo, his mother, wife, and youngest son are all dead. The one who survived is Dara. We searched all night and couldn't find Dara."
Chi Xi was surprised and said, "He really set fire to the whole family? This guy is too evil."
Fang Xiaoman said: "Stupid, he has mental problems."
"Not every psychopath would set fire to their family. It's still his problem," Chi Xi said. "Catch him and shoot him."
Fang Xiaoman disliked him more and more.
Sang Baiyu asked, "Have you been to the mental hospital?"
Wu Yuanqing said with a forced smile, "I'm on my way there now."
She really knows how to pick the time.
There are no four seasons in Longxinggang. The so-called spring, summer, autumn and winter are all habits left by Sang Baiyu.
Although it is only March, the temperature in Longxinggang is already quite high.
Wu Yuanqing led them to the police car. Chi Xi got in first. Wu Yuanqing dragged Chi Xi out and pressed Sang Baiyu against the car window. "It's comfortable to sit by the window."
He looked at Chi Xi again and said, "This seat is collapsed. You sit here."
Chi Xi: "..."
That's too much discrimination!
Chi Xi curled his lips and said unhappily: "My family members love me very much."
Wu Yuanqing: "Then go home."
Chi Xi: "..."
He protested, "No one ever dares to bully me when I'm outside!"
Wu Yuanqing was happy, "The King of Heaven is here, you sit here too."
Chi Xi: "..."
Wu Yuanqing looked at Sang Baiyu and said, "Your classmate is quite arrogant."
Sang Baiyu said: "He is a member of the Chi family."
Wu Yuanqing was startled and turned to look at Sang Baiyu. Sang Baiyu was looking at him with a smile, obviously knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Yuanqing looked at Chi Xi carefully.
Chi Xi said proudly: "Are you scared?"
Wu Yuanqing: "You still have to sit here."
Chi Xi: "!!"
There is only one mental hospital in Longxinggang City, and it is located in a remote area.
Mental hospitals are private and government-regulated.
There are no buildings in the mental hospital. After driving through the gate, there is a large courtyard with several bungalows around it. There are office buildings, canteens, rest areas, and activity areas.
Everyone was wearing the same uniform, but it was not hospital gowns, but casual sportswear.
There are several people running in the yard, supervised by nurses, and their condition is relatively stable.
Wu Yuanqing found the dean.
Dean He Li is Chinese, and many Chinese people come to Longxinggang to invest.
Except for the Chinese, the owners of other shops are almost all surnamed Chi.
He Li was very respectful towards Wu Yuanqing.
Wu Yuanqing explained his purpose, and He Li said, "Many of our patients here have violent tendencies. Their families are really desperate, so they put them here. I remember Dara you mentioned. He's been pretty well behaved here. He hasn't shown any abnormal behavior in the past six months. His family was allowed to take him back after an evaluation."
Wu Yuanqing asked, "Is his mood stable?"
He Li narrowed his eyes as he recalled, "He lost control twice, but neither was a big deal. He's been quiet for the last two months. Honestly, if you say he's recovered, that's impossible. You know the situation in Longxinggang; there's no magic bullet. But he's really not making a fuss. His family's financial situation is average, and staying here would be a burden. Now that he's stopped making a fuss, it's fine for him to go back, don't you think?"
Wu Yuanqing smiled and said, "You have considered it very carefully."
"Well, I can't make money by doing dirty things. I originally came to Longxinggang to open this hospital because I have patients with mental problems in my family, and I want to help as many as I can. You came to ask Dara, what happened to him?"
Wu Yuanqing nodded. "He's missing. We want to find a doctor or nurse who is familiar with Dara to find out what happened."
"Dara is my responsibility," He Li said. "Just ask me if you have any questions."
"you?"
He Li smiled and said, "We only have a few staff members here, how can I be idle? I'm the dean and a doctor, and I've been treating Dara's illness."
Wu Yuanqing asked: "During his hospitalization, did his family come to visit? How is his relationship with them?"
"His mother comes every month, which is normal. Some families love their children more and come every two or three days, which is actually more inconvenient for us to manage. But he doesn't like to see his mother, and every time he comes, he can't say more than a few words. As for the others, it seems they haven't come." He Li paused for a moment and said, "If you want to ask about Dara's situation, you can talk to Xu Hui. The two have always had a good relationship."
He Li took Wu Yuanqing to Xu Hui's room.
The rest area is equivalent to a dormitory, and patients who cannot control their behavior live in single rooms, such as Xu Hui.
The mental hospital has limited funds, the corridors are dimly lit, there are insufficient cleaning staff, and there is garbage that has not been dealt with yet, piled up on both sides of the walls. The overall living environment is not very good.
The intensive care unit is separated by iron fences and each door is equipped with a bar.
He Li said: "There was an incident before. A patient in the intensive care unit broke the glass and cut himself. If the nurse on duty hadn't discovered him, he would have died. Since then, bars have been added to the doors."
Room 1025 is Xu Hui's ward.
"Dara is in 106, he lives with other people." He Li took out the key and opened the door of 1025.
The ward faces south, is bright, has green trees outside the window, and is very clean inside.
He Li's expression suddenly changed, and Wu Yuanqing realized that there was no one in the room. "This is..."
Sang Baiyu remained unmoved, "The person is still here."
He Li was about to go out to look for someone, but was stunned when he heard the words and slammed the door shut. At the same time, a strange "giggle" sound came from behind the door, and a figure pounced towards He Li.
