Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 149 Discovery
He sat there thinking for a long time but couldn't figure anything out. He felt depressed because he was still thinking about it, so he just got up and walked out of the clinic, planning to go out for a walk and buy a few packs of cigarettes.

As soon as he left, Ren Yunyun, who was sitting at the desk reading seriously, put down the book in her hand and stood up.

He just stood up and looked outside through the window with an expressionless face. He kept watching Li Yancheng's back until he turned the corner and disappeared from his sight. Then he turned his head and glanced at the inner door that he had closed when he came out just now.

Looking at the door, a hint of hesitation flashed across her expressionless face.

After two or three seconds, she sighed slightly, sat back in her chair, picked up the book on the table and continued reading.

After reading for a few minutes, she threw down the book in her hand in annoyance, raised her hands and rubbed her face, then put her elbows on the table, buried her face in her palms, and sat there quietly in this posture. After several minutes, she let out a long breath, reached into her pocket and took out a small paper bag.

Ren Yunyun lowered her head and looked at the paper bag in her hand expressionlessly. She let out a long sigh again, held the paper bag in her palm and stood up.

Just as she stood up, she heard voices outside the house. Her face changed slightly and she sat back in the chair in a hurry. The paper bag that she had been holding in her hand was put back into her pocket.

Then she saw two people walking past the window, talking about something.

Seeing the two men passing by, she stood up and walked to the door, listened for a while through the curtain, then reached out to close the door, walked to the window and looked into the yard for a few times. Seeing that no one would come for the time being, she quickly pushed open the inner door and walked in.

It didn't take long, only about a minute or two, and she came out again, not forgetting to close the door.

But at the moment she closed the door, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face again, and her hand paused for a moment, as if she was planning to push the door open and go in again.

But the noise outside the window made her immediately give up the idea. She let go of the door handle and quickly returned to her seat.

Ren Yunyun sat in her seat, looking at the figures passing by outside the window. She breathed a sigh of relief and completely gave up the idea of ​​going into the inner room again.

Although she was relieved, her slightly trembling hands on the table revealed her nervousness at the moment.

……

Where is Li Yancheng?

He went to a store on the street and bought a few packs of cigarettes. When he walked out of the store, he stood on the side of the road and took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

He couldn't tell why he felt depressed, but he suddenly felt depressed and panicky.

To put it another way, I always feel like something is going to happen, but I can't figure it out.

"Yancheng... Yancheng... Hey..."

"Ah? Oh, Director..."

"What are you thinking about? You're so focused. I called you several times but you didn't respond."

"I……"

Looking at Xu Guishan standing in front of him with a curious look on his face, Li Yancheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "I... I don't know what's going on. I just... I suddenly feel very upset and uneasy. I always feel like something is going to happen."

"What's going to happen?"

Hearing this, the curiosity on Xu Guishan's face turned into surprise, and he repeated the sentence again.

"Hey Yancheng, are you nervous because you're going on a business trip so far away?"

Nowadays, people rarely have the opportunity to travel far. Some people have lived for decades, but their range of activities has always been within a few miles.

The place Li Yancheng and his team were about to go was thousands of kilometers away, so it was normal for them to feel nervous, excited, and a little strange.

"How is that possible? It's not like I haven't been far away before. Our unit is not close to Beijing. How could I be nervous?"

"That's true. So what happened?"

"Director, why are you here..."

Li Yancheng did not answer Lao Xu's question, but asked directly instead.

"I came over to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"Please buy some cigarettes first, and we can talk later."

"Okay, wait for me."

"it is good"

Lao Xu came out very quickly, and as soon as he came out, he took out a cigarette from the newly bought cigarettes and threw it to Li Yancheng without caring whether he wanted it or not.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Yancheng caught the cigarette in a hurry. He had not finished his own cigarette yet, so he could only put the cigarette behind his ear. After hearing Lao Xu's question, he did not hesitate any more and told him the source of his frustration in detail.

"You mean to say that you felt uncomfortable from the first moment you saw Ren Yunyun?"

"That's right"

"You knew her before?"

"How is that possible, Director? I've only been to the bureau once, when we held a commendation meeting. Aside from Director Fang and Director Zhong, I don't know any of the others."

"Then why do you feel that way about that girl? She has been in this unit much longer than you."

"Yes, that's why I'm upset because I can't find the reason."

"Uh... Hey, you've got me stumped."

Lao Xu didn't know how to react. After thinking for a while, he asked seriously, "Yancheng, tell me the truth. Do you think there is something wrong with Comrade Ren Yunyun?"

"Yes, this feeling is always in my heart. I know I shouldn't doubt my comrades without any basis, but I can't get rid of this thought.

Especially in the past few times, I inexplicably felt that someone was eavesdropping on my conversations with others.

Our clinic is an independent room, and it is not connected to the logistics department's room. I was standing outside and talking to someone, so if there was anyone eavesdropping, it could only be someone inside the room."

"Is it possible that you are feeling it wrong? You don't like this person intuitively, so you keep finding problems to support your feeling."

"It's not impossible, but... there are more than a hundred people in our relationship, why would I do this to her alone?"

"Who knows? You..." Lao Xu raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. It just so happens that you are on a business trip this time. Take this opportunity to relax. Maybe the six-month closed management has caused some impact on your mind. Let's go back."

As he said that, he started walking towards his workplace.

After hearing what he said, Li Yancheng said nothing more and just followed him.

It is said that it is not a good idea to make groundless accusations. What he did is not even groundless accusations. From the current perspective, it is purely a personal psychological problem. Even if the leader has a good relationship with him, it is impossible for him to make a fuss about something that has no basis.

It's not like I have nothing to do.

But soon, the doubt in his heart became a reality.

After arriving at the unit, Li Yancheng and Lao Xu separated and returned to the clinic. Ren Yunyun was still sitting there reading a book carefully.

After entering the house, he took a quick look and pushed open the door to the inner room and walked in.

After sitting at the desk, he stretched out his left hand and was about to pick up the teacup on the table to drink water, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

Looking at the handle of the enamel pot on the table facing the right, a look of doubt appeared on Li Yancheng's face.

He was very sure that the handle of the teacup should face to the left.

Because when he went out just now, he didn't know why, but he deliberately turned the teacup so that the handle was facing the lower left corner of the table.

But now, the handle of the teacup has turned to his right.

what's the situation?
After staring at the teacup for a few more seconds, Li Yancheng retracted his left hand that was suspended in the air, and slowly turned to his right side with a stiff neck.

Over there was a wall that divided the room into the inner and outer rooms. He seemed to want to see through the wall what Ren Yunyun in the outer room was doing at the moment.

He didn't have X-ray vision, so of course he couldn't see through the wall and see the scene on the other side. After looking for a while, he turned his head to look at the teacup on the table and frowned tightly.

He stared at the teacup motionlessly for a while, then slowly raised his arm and picked up the lid.

His movements were very gentle, as if the lid of the teapot was some rare treasure. After opening the lid, he leaned over to look into the teapot.

The liquor soaked in it is Gao Sui, which I got from Su Xiaotong.

He didn't have any particular preferences when drinking tea. He would drink any tea, regardless of whether it was hot or cold. Cold tea was even better. He would just gulp it down.

At this time, the tea in the cup didn't look unusual, with broken tea leaves floating on top. Every time I took a sip, I had to spit for a long time.

Even so, it's good enough to be able to drink it. For example, scented tea, Longjing tea, Maojian tea and the like, ordinary people can't even think about buying them, they are almost impossible.

After staring at the tea dregs floating in the jar for a while, Li Yancheng gently put the lid back on and sighed silently. He didn't know if there was any seasoning added to the tea, or even if there was nothing at all.

At this moment, the images of Zhu Yongxiang and Chen Guangyao after being poisoned emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

He quickly banished the image from his mind.

He dared to bet that if there was really something in his teacup, it would definitely not be that kind of poison.

He had a feeling that if something really went down there, it would be intended to kill him.

Thinking of this, he leaned back in his chair and sighed leisurely. It had been eight months already. Was the mastermind behind this finally going to make a move?
But why is it directed at me?
Is it because he has a way to make everyone who is caught alive confess?

After thinking about it, this was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why they attacked him first.

Then the question arises. Normally, only some people in one place and the two leaders in the bureau should know about my ability to make everyone obey me. Outsiders should not be aware of it.

and so……

Could it be that the mastermind behind this is among these people?

wrong!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Yancheng shook his head in denial.

If the mastermind was inside, or one of the two leaders, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. The grass on his grave would probably be several feet high.

The mastermind is outside. He sent Ren Yunyun in. She is...

Thinking of this, the figure of the Second Department Director Hong Dingguo suddenly appeared in Li Yancheng's mind again.

He remembered Su Xiaotong saying that Ren Yunyun was the niece of the captain of the First Operations Team of the Second Division. After the captain died, Director Hong brought her from Xianghe to Jingshi as if to repay her for blocking the bullet. He arranged for her to go to school and to work in the bureau after graduation.

Hong Dingguo?!

That shouldn't be the case. If he really died here now, and it was finally found out that he was poisoned, the first person to be suspected would definitely be Ren Yunyun.

As Ren Yunyun's sponsor, other people's eyes will inevitably fall on Hong Dingguo and they will start to suspect him.

Although it may end in a hasty manner due to lack of evidence, in this unit, as long as you arouse suspicion from others, your career is basically over, unless there is concrete evidence to prove that the matter has nothing to do with you.

As the director of the Second Division, Hong Dingguo has extensive experience in handling cases. If it really was the culprit, considering the caution he had shown before, would he be so careless?
If it’s not him, then who else could it be?

Could it be that I remembered it wrongly? When I left just now, the teacup was exactly like this?
As soon as this thought popped into his mind, he quickly rejected it.

He remembered clearly that when he stood up and prepared to go out to buy cigarettes, he turned the teacup on a whim.

There is absolutely no mistake about this. Did someone come into your room?

This situation is almost impossible. If someone really came in, Ren Yunyun would definitely tell him.

Or, Ren Yunyun also went out just now, and someone came in while she was out?

"Nurse Ren..."

"Hey, Doctor Li"

"Deputy Director Li said he wanted me to give him an acupuncture today. Have you come over just now?"

"No, I've been here the whole time. I didn't see Deputy Director Li coming over."

"Okay, I'll go find him then."

It’s settled. If anyone really touched this teacup, it would only be Ren Yunyun.

Li Yancheng let out a light breath, stood up and walked to the cabinet, opened the glass door, took out the bottle of alcohol cotton wool and tweezers and put them on the tray, then opened the drawer and took out the bag of acupuncture needles, picked up the tray, turned around, picked up the large teapot and put it on the tray, then walked out.

"Nurse Ren, I'm going to Deputy Director Li's office to give him an injection. If anyone wants to see me, tell them to find me over there."

"Okay, Doctor Li."

Coming out of the health room, Li Yancheng, holding a tray, greeted and said a few words to a person coming out of the logistics department's office, then walked straight to Deputy Director Li's office opposite.

As expected, Ren Yunyun stood up again and looked out the window, watching the figure walk into the deputy director's office, then she sat down again with a serious face.

……

Li Zhiguang, who was in the opposite office, saw Li Yancheng coming in with a tray, put down his pen, and asked curiously, "Yancheng, what are you doing?"

"Director Li, don't ask me what I want to do first. Please get me a clean cup first."

"A clean cup? Here, it's under the cabinet next to you, help yourself."

Putting down the tray in his hand, Li Yancheng bent down and took out two clean cups from the small cabinet under the cabinet, then poured some water from his teacup onto the two quilts.

Li Zhiguang sat there and watched all this curiously, and couldn't help but teasing: "Yancheng, isn't it just a little bit of high-grade broken? Why do you have to bring it over specifically for me to share with you?"

"Haha, I don't dare drink this water."

"Don't dare to drink? What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you later."

After pouring the water, Li Yancheng picked up the phone on Deputy Director Li's desk and dialed the number.

This phone can only dial the bureau's dedicated line and cannot contact any external phones.

"Deputy Director Su, it's me, Li Yancheng. I'm with Deputy Director Li right now. If you don't have anything else to do, please come over. I have something very important to tell you. By the way, do you know where I can catch a live mouse?"

"Live rats? Didn't the cafeteria say they caught two rats during breakfast this morning? I wonder if they killed them. What do you want live rats for?"

"As an experiment."

"What happened Yancheng?"

"My teacup may have been poisoned."

"What did you say?"

Su Xiaotong's voice on the other end of the phone became shrill, and Deputy Director Li, who had been sitting there, stood up in shock after hearing this, and looked in disbelief at the two glasses of water that Li Yancheng had just poured out.

"I'm not completely sure yet, I just suspect it, so I want to find a mouse to do a test."

"Do you suspect that it was an inside job?"

"If there is poison in this teacup, I know who put it there."

"Wait a minute. I'll have someone look for the mouse. I'll be right back."

Su Xiaotong moved his office to the Central Courtyard.

Seeing Li Yancheng put down the phone, Li Zhiguang asked, "What's going on, Yancheng? Why do you suspect that your cup was poisoned?"

"I just went out for a while, and when I came back and was about to drink some water, I suddenly found that my cup had been moved."

"Being...you..." Li Zhiguang turned his head and looked out the window. Opposite was the health room.

"You're not doubting the nurse from the bureau?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure whether the tea is poisonous or not. I just suspect it."

"No, even if your teacup was touched by someone, how could you think someone poisoned you? Maybe they touched it accidentally."

"Just feel it."

"Intuition?" Li Zhiguang did not ask any more questions. He was transferred from the front line to the second line after being injured. He has rich experience in handling cases and knows that intuition is something that cannot be explained, but sometimes it is quite accurate.

The mice were brought over by Su Xiaotong himself. The two mice caught in the cafeteria that morning were still there, being locked in cages by the cafeteria staff. No one knew what they were going to do with these two mice.

They were big and brave. Li Yancheng picked up a cup and carefully put it into the cage, wanting to see if they would drink the water. Unexpectedly, the two mice rushed to drink it and overturned the cup.

It doesn't matter, just drink it.

Seeing his clean cup being ruined like that, Li Zhiguang couldn't help but twitch his mouth twice. Before he could open his mouth to complain, one of the two mice in the cage fell down and started kicking, and the other one followed closely behind.

It squeaked twice and then there was no movement.

From the time he started drinking water to the time he fell down, it took only about ten seconds in total. This scene left the three people in the room dumbfounded.
