Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 173 Lucky Woman

"I don't think it's necessary to search the entire Dianhai District."

As soon as Lao Xu finished speaking, Su Xiaotong stood up and said, "I don't think Pan Youzhi would bother running too far. If this woman really exists, she should probably be in the village behind the instrument factory.

Director Zhong, I will take people to search the village now. If there is no target person who meets the requirements, we will expand the scope. "

"Xiaotong, do you want to ask the police in Dianhai for cooperation?"

"For now, let's forget Director Zhong. It's better for us to do it ourselves."

"Okay, then go now and make sure it's sieved very finely."

"Yes"

……

Lin Meichun was lucky. She escaped the disaster last night because she worked the night shift and did not get back from get off work until after eight in the morning. Otherwise, she might have been stripped naked and found dead in her own home like Pan Youzhi.

The village behind the instrument factory has more than 300 households and more than 4,000 people. After Su Xiaotong brought his people over, he went straight to the home of the village cadre.

According to his judgment, Pan Youzhi wanted to find a stable partner and would definitely not look for a married woman. Most likely he would look for a widow who was raising children, or more than one child, and whose family life was relatively difficult.

There are three people in the village who meet the requirements. One of them lives with her ex-in-laws. In this case, the possibility of her having sex with another man is not very high, so there are only two left.

Just let the village cadres go to the person’s home and call him to the village office.

Su Xiaotong looked at the two women in their twenties or twenties brought by the village cadres. One of them had a bewildered look on her face, not knowing why the village had called her over. Then she saw that there were several strange men in the village office, and she suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do.

What about the other one? Why did she look so flustered?

Su Xiaotong's attention immediately focused on the woman named Lin Meichun.

He took the photo of Pan Youzhi from Tian Linjun who came with him and walked in front of Lin Meichun.

"Do you know him?"

Under Su Xiaotong's piercing gaze, Lin Meichun nodded with great difficulty: "I have... I have."

"What's his name?"

"Pan...Pan Youzhi."

Huh...Su Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He took the photo to another woman and asked the same question.

The woman stared at the photo for a long time before nodding and shaking her head uncertainly and saying, "I think I've seen him before. He seems to have a problem with one of his legs."

Su Xiaotong glanced at her and said nothing. He put away the photo and signaled to the village cadre next to him to take the woman away first and leave Lin Meichun behind.

"Comrade Lin Meichun, we are not interested in the exact relationship between you and Pan Youzhi. I just want to know how much you know about Pan Youzhi and whether he has placed anything with you."

"Comrade Public Security, Lao Pan...what happened to Lao Pan?"

Facing Su Xiaotong's questioning, Lin Meichun didn't seem to be particularly afraid. She didn't answer his question, but asked back.

"What do you think happened to him?"

"I don't know." Lin Meichun shook her head. "He just mentioned to me that one of his former enemies seemed to have found him, and he felt that something bad would happen sooner or later. Public Security Comrade, is he..."

"Were you not at home last night?"

"No, I just got back from the night shift and hadn't even entered the house when the village chief brought me here."

"Comrade Lin Meichun, answer my question first. Did Pan Youzhi ask you to keep anything for him?"

"Yes, he left a wooden box with me. I don't know what's in it. The box is locked."

"Take us there, now." Su Xiaotong said without question.

Why do you say this woman is lucky? You will know when you enter her house. That guy is like a typhoon passing through.

Seeing the scene in her own home, Lin Meichun sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

The village cadres who came with them were also stunned when they saw the appearance of the house.

Lin Meichun's crying attracted all the villagers. Su Xiaotong had no choice but to ask someone to guard the place and keep the villagers outside. He and Tian Linjun helped to clean up the mess.

The wooden box is still there, but the things inside are gone, and it can no longer be called a box. It would be more appropriate to call it firewood.

The murderer was still as cautious as ever. Su Xiaotong looked at the pile of firewood and felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

This feeling of being led by the nose really made him uncomfortable.

"Comrade Lin Meichun, don't you have two sons? Where are the children?"

Su Xiaotong suddenly remembered that the village chief had just told him that Lin Meichun had two sons, the older one was five years old and the younger one was three years old, so how come he couldn't see either of them now?

Lin Meichun, who had been comforted by the village chief and stopped crying, raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand. She choked and said, "I...I always put my child in the nursery at the factory when I work the night shift, and pick him up after get off work in the morning.

After get off work this morning, I felt a little uncomfortable in my head, so I went to the nursery and told the aunt that I would not pick them up today. I am still on the night shift tonight, so I will pick them up tomorrow morning. "

"Did you see the child this morning?"

"Yes, they had just finished breakfast and were playing with their friends when I went there."

"That's fine." Hearing her say this, Su Xiaotong felt relieved and continued to ask, "Think about it carefully. Did Pan Youzhi tell you anything else?"

"he……"

Lin Meichun was about to say something when she suddenly realized that the village chief was still there. After glancing at him, she closed her mouth again.

The village chief was also a smart man. Although he didn't know who Pan Youzhi was, he could guess roughly who he was. He knew that people might have many things that were not convenient to say in his presence, so he spoke first without waiting for Su Xiaotong to say anything.

"That's it, Public Security Comrade. There's no need for my help here for the time being. I'll go out first. I'll let those people go back to their homes. What's the point of surrounding them outside? If you need anything, feel free to call me."

"Thank you, village chief. Thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's my duty to cooperate with you."

"Village chief, please don't tell anyone what you just heard when you go out." As Su Xiaotong said this, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took the village chief's hand and stuffed it into his hand.

The village chief looked down and saw that the Grade A Blue Peony with a filter was only 50 cents a box. He could hardly suppress the smile on his face and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I promise not a word of it will be spread out."

"it is good"

After the village chief left, Su Xiaotong lit a cigarette for himself and looked at Lin Meichun again, waiting for her to continue saying what she had not said just now.

Seeing him looking at her, Lin Meichun pursed her lips and raised her hand to tuck the fallen hair behind her ear.

"Old Pan always comes over after 12 o'clock, and we...we basically don't say much, but...he leaves at 2 or 3 o'clock at the latest.

Just last month, he came over one night and suddenly told me that his enemy had found him. "

"Is it true that you two just do that when you meet without even talking to each other?" Su Xiaotong asked with a look of suspicion.

Swish! Lin Meichun's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.

……

In Qin Province, thousands of kilometers away, there is a small county town sixty or seventy kilometers away from the provincial capital.

After greeting the security officer on duty at the factory gate, Luo Yang quickly walked to the administrative building and called out the old man who worked there.

After all, an old comrade had made arrangements for them, so the Luo family did not suffer too much after they came here, except that only four jobs were provided and the living quarters were a bit tight.

The old man was directly assigned to the factory office, where he wrote and drew every day, which was quite a leisurely job.

This small northwestern city is free from the hustle and bustle of big cities. It is a good opportunity for the old man of the Luo family to sort himself out and clear his mind.

Although I was forced to rest, who can tell whether it was good or bad?

Seeing that Luo Yang was not working properly in the workshop, he called him out of the office mysteriously. As soon as he walked out of the administrative building, the old man frowned.

"Why did you ask me out when you're not at work?"

Mr. Luo has always been a rather old-fashioned person. No matter what job he does, he always wants to do it in a down-to-earth manner. What he hates most is cheating and playing tricks.

"Dad, Changjun just came over."

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

"Changjun, the third son of Uncle Ji's family."

"Ji Changjun?"

“Yes.” Seeing his youngest son nod in confirmation, the old man had a look of disbelief on his face. The reason for his reaction was that Lao Ji and him were not on the same page. Every time they met, they were always at loggerheads. Why would his son come here?

"What about people?"

"He's gone. He was just passing by here and came to take a look and help pass on some things."

"What?"

"Xiaotong and Li Yancheng asked him to bring over more than 300 kilograms of national food coupons."

Luo Yang pulled out an envelope from his jacket pocket and opened it to show his father.

There were not only food coupons inside, but also a letter. He had not had time to read the letter yet. He and Ji Changjun had just met hastily on the roadside and parted without saying a few words.

The old man glanced at the contents of the envelope and was silent for a moment.

A friend in need is a friend indeed, and the friends his youngest son made were truly great.

"I know Xiaotong, the boy from the old Su family, whose child is Li Yancheng you are talking about?"

"You forgot that Dad, Doctor Li, has treated both my mom and me. For such a long time, my mom's high blood pressure has never recurred."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man raised his hand and patted his forehead: "Look, I am really old and confused. This is the benefactor of you and your mother. Alas, I also said that I wanted to meet this young man if I had the chance. Alas..."

"Dad, there must be a chance."

"Yangzi, there is no good way to deal with our current situation. If you have the chance in the future, you must thank your friends on behalf of your father."

"Don't worry about that. I certainly won't forget them."

"Well, put the envelope away first. Find a time to see if you can exchange it for local food coupons. Then find a way to send some to your sister. This girl has suffered so much."

"I know, Dad. Don't think too much about it. Xiaomin is fine. I'll think of a solution later. This is it. You go in. I have to go back to the workshop and can't be out for too long."

"Okay, go ahead. We can talk about it when we get back tonight."

"Okay, I'm leaving first, Dad."

Looking at his youngest son's hurriedly leaving back, the old man sighed again. He turned around and was about to enter the office building when he suddenly remembered that his wife had once told him that his youngest daughter seemed to like Doctor Li. He couldn't help but pause.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was already this time and there was no point in thinking about those things. He just felt a little sorry for his two daughters.

Alas, I am so old. I didn’t expect that my son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law would all be implicated.

The old man walked into the office building, but his back looked a little lonely.

……

"Lao Zhu, Xiao Jiu, thank you."

"You're welcome, bro."

"Why are you being so polite to me? If it weren't for you and Director Su, we would have been in great trouble."

The record-taking of Zhu Yongyang and Zhang Jiufu was not finished until 10 o'clock. Knowing that they had nothing to do and could go home, Li Yancheng took them to his clinic.

These two people have suffered a lot because of him, and it would be difficult to just say thank you. But Li Yancheng couldn't think of how to compensate them, so he simply let it go and wait for the right opportunity.

"Old Zhu, I just told you in the back, if nothing unexpected happens, you are safe now."

"I told you, I'm planning to go to Zhihai's place and pick up my brother and sister. They've been living there for so long, they must be feeling suffocated."

"It's my fault that I implicated you this time." Li Yancheng smiled a little embarrassedly.

"From what you said, I don't think there is any involvement or no involvement. As long as the matter is resolved, it's fine.

Dacheng, will you continue to work in this unit and not return to the hospital?"

"Yes, I have completed all the formalities in January, and I will be a formal employee here from now on."

"Haha, your job is not easy. You should pay attention to safety in the future."

"Thanks for the reminder, I will."

"Well, Dacheng, if you have nothing else to do, Xiaojiu and I will go first. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come and find me. I can't tell you anything else, but I can basically get those tickets and other things."

"No problem. By the way, Lao Zhu, I almost forgot about what happened last night..."

"Don't worry about it, really. It would be a compliment to ask you or Zhihai for such a small matter.

I can handle it. I was just caught off guard yesterday. I don't really care about Liu Laoer and his gang, including his brother Chen."

Zhu Yongyang knew what Li Yancheng wanted to say and interrupted him directly. In his opinion, there was no point in using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

"Okay, since you said so, I won't say anything. If you need any help, just ask. If it's inconvenient to come to me, you can go to Zhihai."

"I know you two have always worn the same pair of pants. Xiaojiu, say goodbye to Big Brother Li, and let's go."

"Brother Li, you are busy. We are leaving now."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaojiu."

"Hey, you're welcome. It's my duty."

Perhaps because he had suffered a lot in his childhood, many of Zhu Yongyang's subordinates were like Zhang Jiufu, who came from very poor family conditions.

He gathered these people together to help him do things. As his power grew, others dared not bully him and his subordinates, so they could earn more money.

And the people he gathered together could get more money from him.

Every time he gave money to these people, he would remind them not to spend it recklessly, but to save the money so that they could get married and raise children in the future.

He is wholeheartedly devoted to these people, so Xiaojiu and the others also do their best to work for him.

This is a virtuous cycle. Although what they do seems a bit illegal, there is no other way. Everyone has to have something to eat. Otherwise, if these people have nothing to do and just wander around all day, that would be a big problem.

……

It was already noon when Su Xiaotong came back, and Lin Meichun was also brought over.

When Li Yancheng heard that the woman escaped because she worked the night shift last night, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her.

If she had been at home with her two children last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

It seems that this woman really knows nothing. She has been with Pan Youzhi for two years.

The reason why they were able to be together was that one day, on the eve of her leaving home, she was teased by a few idle people while walking on the road and was saved by Pan Youzhi. It was that simple.

It’s actually quite ironic when you think about it!

After all, Pan Youzhi's other identity, Qin Xiang, was targeted because of that incident.

They have now basically determined that Pan Youzhi is the Qin Xiang from three years ago. How to write the case closing report is a matter for the future.

What Su Xiaotong and his team have to do now is to transfer the case files from three years ago from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and also transfer the case files from the court.

Li Yancheng simply asked Lin Meichun a few questions and then returned to the evidence room.

In the morning, a large pile of things were brought back from Pan Youzhi's room, and another pile was brought back from the woman's house. They needed to go through these things one by one as soon as possible to see if there was anything that the murderer had missed.

"Hey, Doctor Li, is this a book on Chinese medicine?"

"Let me see"

Li Yancheng took a tattered-looking book from Sun Nanping, a staff member of the evidence room, with some curiosity. The cover was gone. Someone had pasted a new cover with newspaper. There was also a date written in pen on the cover: the 20th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was only this year.

Judging from the content, it is indeed a classic Chinese medicine book. The first half is theory, and the second half has more than 20 prescriptions for treating various diseases. Unfortunately, because he has read too few books on Chinese medicine, he really can't tell who wrote this book and what it is.

But no matter who wrote it, as long as it was about traditional Chinese medicine, he wanted to keep it.

In recent years, many books on traditional Chinese medicine have been sent to paper mills and turned into pulp, which is really sad to think about.

If possible, he would like to save some to the best of his ability.

"Nanping, please keep this book safe and lend it to me to copy later."

"Just take it away. I just checked it and it's useless. But Doctor Li, please don't let anyone outside see it."

The "outside" Sun Nanping was referring to was outside the unit, and Li Yancheng understood what he meant.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome. Things like these that have been determined to be ownerless and have nothing to do with the case will eventually be destroyed. As for the books, it would be a pity to destroy them, and you happen to be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
