Chapter 72
In the afternoon, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao took all of Ye Songming's notes and planned to take the high-speed rail back to Xiangcheng. The local police sent a car to take them to the high-speed rail station.
On the way, Chen Pu called Ding Guoqiang.
After listening to Chen Pu's report, Ding Guoqiang asked: "Who do you suspect?"
"There may be something wrong with the doctor who handled the case at that time."
Ding Guoqiang gave him the contact information of a criminal police officer and said, "Tang Zonghua was one of the criminal police officers in charge of the Xiang Wei case. He has now been transferred to another branch. It would be fastest if you ask him directly. We will have to reconsider this case when we get back."
Chen Pu immediately called Tang Zonghua, introduced himself, and explained his purpose.
Chen Pu asked: "Brother Tang, how did you choose the hospital at that time? Did you designate it, or did Li Meiling and her daughter choose it?"
Tang Zonghua recalled the situation that night and replied, "It's not that anyone designated it. In the first few days, Li Meiling said she would not agree to anything, saying that Xiang Siling was still a child, how could she accept such an examination? It was too insulting. We can understand her feelings as a mother, but we can't force a high school student to take the examination because there is no evidence to support it.
In fact, everyone was hopeful at the time. They wanted to find out the truth and also wanted to do their best to help Luo Huaizheng's child. Later one night, Li Meiling finally gave in. We were afraid that she would change her mind again, so we rushed over. I remember it was around 10 o'clock in the evening and a colleague and I drove to pick them up. ”
Tang Zonghua still remembers what happened that night very clearly.
When they opened the door, the mother and daughter's eyes were red, as if they had just cried. Li Meiling's attitude was not very good. She asked them if proving that her daughter was a virgin would prove that Luo Huaizheng was lying and they could arrest the little beast. Tang Zonghua just laughed it off.
"What was Xiang Siling's reaction at that time?" Chen Pu asked.
"She looked the same those days, dull and prone to tears. She didn't say anything when we asked her questions, and her mother answered all our questions for us. And then..."
They talked about which hospital to go to. Li Meiling said it didn't matter, the closer the better, and it had to be a big hospital in case it was an irregular one and hurt the child. The nearest large hospital to their home was the Third Municipal Hospital, so without any discussion, everyone went there.
It was already 11pm when they arrived at the hospital and the outpatient clinic had already closed, so they made an appointment for the emergency gynaecology department. Li Meiling said that she hoped they would not reveal their identity as police officers for fear of attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble. This request was reasonable, so Tang Zonghua agreed.
When I arrived at the emergency gynecology department, the doctor's office was very empty, with only a deputy chief physician in his forties, a man. Li Meiling told the doctor that she wanted to check her daughter's body for fear that she might be bullied, and to see if her hymen was still intact. The doctor had probably seen this kind of situation many times, so he didn't ask any more questions and took Xiang Siling into the examination room alone.
Li Meiling and two policemen were waiting outside.
Not long after, the doctor brought Xiang Siling out and gave them the test results: [The hymen is intact and the vagina is not damaged. 】
Tang Zonghua's heart sank at that moment.
…
"What's the doctor's name? Can I find it out?" Chen Pu asked.
"Let me check. There is a signed inspection record in the file... I found it. His name is Ling Yong."
After hanging up Tang Zonghua's phone, Chen Pu called Ding Guoqiang again: "Master, please help me check another person, Ling Yong, who was a gynecologist at the Third Municipal Hospital seven years ago. Can you help me check this person's background and which hospitals he has worked in?"
Li Qingyao, who was listening nearby, suddenly remembered that Li Meiling had worked in a hospital when she was young. That day, they were at her mother's house and saw the nurse nameplate of the hospital. The hospital is called...
"Huawang Hospital."
Ding Guoqiang took action, so naturally he was very fast. As soon as Chen Pu and his friends arrived at the high-speed railway station, his reply came:
"In 1998, Ling Yong graduated from Medical University and went to work in this private hospital, where his salary was twice as high as that in the institutional hospital. Two years later, Huawang went bankrupt due to poor management, and Ling Yong stayed at home for more than a year. Later, his family helped him get a job in the Municipal People's Hospital. After working there for ten years, he was transferred to the Municipal Third Hospital, and now he has become the director of the gynecology department."
Chen Pu and Li Qingyao calculated the time and found that the time Ling Yong stayed in Huawang Hospital coincided with that of Li Meiling. One is a new medical graduate with a bright future, and the other is a young and beautiful nurse.

The local high-speed rail station is very small and not crowded. There are only two platforms, and the waiting hall is full of empty seats. The ticket checking time had not yet arrived, so Chen Pu and Li Qingyao found a seat and sat down.
Chen Pu placed their luggage on the empty seat next to him. Turning around, he saw Li Qingyao looking distracted again.
He had long been accustomed to it and had expected that whenever something happened to Luo Huaizheng, she would become abnormal.
However, he originally thought that he now had the mentality of a top-notch player: "Let him be as strong as he can, the breeze blows over the hills," and he should not feel bad anymore. But at this moment, seeing her return to her old ways, he realized how wrong he was. It's not that he doesn't care, it's simply become his post-traumatic stress disorder.
As the saying goes, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. That familiar feeling of falling came over me instantly. My chest felt stuffy and my heart was embarrassed. I felt as if I had been punched hard and I had no strength left in my body.
He looked out the window and saw the empty platform; the train had not arrived yet. The afternoon sun shines on the railway. The sky is blue and the clouds are as white as snow. My ears were filled with all kinds of empty and noisy sounds in the station.
Although the old saying goes, once you have seen the sea, other waters are no match for you.
But as the old saying goes, only new people laugh, and no one has ever seen the old people cry.
Fuck him!
Chen Pu felt that he had made great progress. His emotions had basically calmed down. He even smiled with understanding, and asked Li Qingyao: "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Luo Huaizheng? If you have any ideas, let's discuss it."
Li Qingyao nodded, his brows, which were usually lazy, were now tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry. She said: "It is now certain that Ling Yong and Li Meiling colluded to commit fraud. When they went to that hospital that day, Ling Yong happened to be on duty in the emergency department. It must have been arranged in advance."
"That's right."
"Xiang Siling was sexually assaulted in her second year of high school. This leads to a case within a case. Was she willing or was she forced? Who was that person? Was it Luo Hongmin or Xiang Wei? Or were they both involved? Can the case from that year be retried? Is it possible for Luo Huaizheng to clear his name? Is this a false case?"
She said so much in one breath, and it was obvious that her mood was up and down.
However, Chen Pu thought of the depression experience she had talked about on the train yesterday, and seeing her worried look at this moment, he felt pity for her. Then another thought flashed through her mind - maybe what happened back then had traumatized her so much that when she met Luo Huaizheng, her emotional reaction was so intense. This totally makes sense.
He just took it as it is.
He said calmly: "Luo Huaizheng can request a retrial, but whether it can be initiated depends on the court. However, I think there is hope, because this abortion report proves that Xiang Siling and Li Meiling lied, and had subjective intentions to conceal and falsify information from the judicial authorities. Luo Huaizheng insisted in his confession that he witnessed Xiang Wei sexually assaulting Xiang Siling. So now, there is a basis for his behavior that was a courageous act and legitimate defense. But I think... this is not direct evidence and cannot clear him of the charges. In fact, whether this case can be retried and Luo Huaizheng can be cleared of all charges depends on one person."
"who?"
"Xiang Siling. In addition to the deceased Xiang Wei, only she and Li Meiling were present at the time. She must know the truth. I have read her confession carefully. At that time, she did say that her father beat her, not raped her. But she did not say that she witnessed that it was Luo Huaizheng who caused Xiang Wei's fatal injury. She said that she hid in the room at the time."
"Will she suddenly have a change of heart?" Li Qingyao said. What emerged in her mind was the day when she and Chen Pu went to Luo Huaizheng's company. What did Luo Huaizheng say at that time?
What did you discover during your interaction with her? 】
[Qing Yao, if I have any clear findings, I will tell you as soon as possible. 】
From the very beginning, there was something strange about Luo Huaizheng's appearance next to Xiang Siling. He must have discovered something.
"Maybe we can talk to Xiang Siling again after we go back." Chen Pu put his arm on the back of her chair, his eyes flashing with the cunning and shrewd light of an old detective. "The evidence of abortion we found is beyond her expectation and can catch her off guard. Then she will only have two choices - either admit that the man is Luo Hongmin, but in this way, she will have sufficient motive to kill Luo Hongmin, and we can also legitimately investigate all her assets, bank accounts, and communication records; or, admit that the man is Xiang Wei, then her confession will no longer be convincing, which is very beneficial to Luo Huaizheng. Let's see what she chooses."
Li Qingyao opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She really didn't expect that it was possible to plot like this... no, to gamble with the suspect. She looked at his calm demeanor, her heart agitated, and said, "Great! I was so concerned that I was distracted. I didn't expect this at all."
Chen Pu maintained a wise and calm smile.
Damn it, caring too much will only lead to chaos!
Although he was jealous, seeing the train coming into the station and people lining up for ticket checking, Chen Pu stood up with his luggage and said seriously, "Don't worry, if Luo Huaizheng is innocent, we have come this far, there must be a way to clear his name. As long as it is a false case, I will do my best to expose it. Anyway, I am a person who has no scruples. Let's go and get on the train."
Li Qingyao said nothing and followed him.
Chen Pu was still wearing the same white T-shirt he had changed into last night. Having been busy for most of the day, there was a smear of dust on his back and on his right arm as well. He was too lazy to carry his black backpack, so he just carried it together with her luggage. His fingers looked strong and sturdy. He looked up and ahead, tall and upright. In fact, his back looks thin and tight, and you can always see the faint curve of his shoulder blades. He always likes to wear black pants, probably because they resist getting dirty. He has very long legs. After all, he is a leader, and if he is not tall enough, how could he win the support of others in fights?
Li Qingyao looked at his back, and a long-lost impulse surged in his heart.
I want to jump up again.
He must have been startled and quickly protected her with his hands. The luggage would definitely not be lost, so he would have to carry the luggage and ask her to do it, but he would definitely be able to hold it.
He would never throw her down. But with so many people around, he might be shy. Then it will depend on who has more shame, her or him.
As Li Qingyao thought about it, he started to laugh.
But of course she wouldn't jump on his back. There are so many people here, and it’s not like she put her face in the refrigerator at home and didn’t bring it out.
But.
Li Qingyao took a step forward, suddenly moved close to his back, and put his face directly against his. Chen Pu noticed it and immediately stopped moving. She buried her face in his T-shirt and rubbed it for a few times, then finally put her hands gently around the waist that she had measured many times with her eyes.
She said, "Thank you, Chen Pu. You are so kind."
After saying this, her hands loosened and her face moved away without any hesitation. She said, "Okay, the warm and touching moment is over. Hurry up, the car is coming."
Chen Pu didn't look back.
My whole back was numb, my heart was pounding, and my waist felt like it was electrified. He thought, what the hell is this? Li Qingyao took the initiative to hug him for the first time because of another man's matter, and also gave him a good guy card.
But……
He lowered his head and smiled.
No matter why, he is very good anyway.
