Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 191 Stone Instructor

Li Yancheng took a long time to take the pulse this time, more than ten minutes, before he walked over with a serious face.

"How about it?"

Seeing Li Yancheng's expression, Su Xiaotong knew the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

“I could leave at any time.”

Sure enough!

Su Xiaotong sighed and continued to ask: "Yancheng, is it possible..."

"Have"

Li Yancheng knew what he wanted to ask, and answered very straightforwardly: "It's about the same as Pan Youwei's questioning at the beginning. It will probably take at most ten minutes. If you want to make a decision, the sooner the better."

The two did not avoid mentioning Director Guo of the Qin Provincial Bureau in their conversation.

Because Director Guo knew what they were going to do on this trip, and the headquarters had already told him before they came.

And it just so happened that he also had a suspect who needed Li Yancheng's ability to interrogate.

It was the one who poisoned the researcher.

This guy is very stubborn. Even if he is forced to do something, he will still refuse to say anything, which really gives the people in Qin Province a headache.

"I understand." Su Xiaotong nodded, turned to look at Director Guo of Qin Province and said, "Director Guo..."

Without him saying anything, Director Guo already knew what to do next. He waved to the other people in the room, signaling them to go out first.

Regarding Li Yancheng's ability, his superiors had reminded him that, except for himself, he should try not to let anyone else know about it and keep it strictly confidential. This was also the reason why he, a provincial bureau director, was still waiting here in the middle of the night.

After everyone else left, Director Guo grabbed Li Yancheng's arm and asked.

"Doctor Li, I haven't been told in detail about your ability. I want to ask, can everyone use your method to ask, or is it only for those who are about to die?"

"Basically anyone can do it, but the time must be strictly controlled. If the time is too long, a normal person will die after being questioned. If the time is controlled well, the person being questioned will just be weak for a while.

But this one..."

Li Yancheng pointed his eyes towards the bed and said, "If someone like this is found, he will definitely not survive."

After listening to this, Director Guo thought for a moment and nodded: "Director Su, Doctor Li, do you plan to start now?"

"Director Guo, you just heard what our doctor Li said. Of course, the sooner the better. If Yu Kexun suddenly dies now, it will be too late."

"Well, I understand. Director Su, you should also know the procedure. Although the headquarters told me in advance, I still have to report to Mr. Wang first. I'm sorry to bother you two to wait for a moment, no more than an hour."

"I understand. Thank you Director Guo for your support for our work."

This is the normal work process and Su Xiaotong has nothing to say.

"You're welcome. I understand your urgency. Let's talk about other things later. I'll go now."

After saying this, Director Guo raised his voice and said, "Xiao Zeng, prepare the car and set off. Zhan Liang, take Director Su and Doctor Li to rest for a while first."

Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the person who came in was Director Liu Zhanliang, who had just gone to the train station to pick them up.

"Director, Xiao Zeng has already gone to drive the car."

"No need, Director Guo, Director Liu, let's just stay in the hospital. To be honest, we don't feel like resting."

After Director Liu finished speaking, Su Xiaotong waved his hand and rejected the suggestion to take a rest.

"that line"

Director Guo didn't hesitate. As they needed to hurry, he whispered a few words to Director Liu and then turned and left the ward.

After the leaders left, Director Liu had someone pour two glasses of water, asked Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng to sit down, and took out a pack of Dayan Pagoda cigarettes and gave each of them one.

Smoking in the ward?
Li Yancheng grinned unconsciously.

But thinking that the two doctors were smoking when he entered the ward just now, he could only lower his head and light the cigarette in his hand.

"Director Su, you are an expert from above. Can I ask you a question?"

"Director Liu, don't ask for advice. If you have something to ask, just tell me and we can discuss it together."

"It's like this, Director Su, we are now facing a case..."

When Director Liu said that Su Xiaotong was an expert from above, this was not a mockery or a compliment, but a fact.

Although the Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau has the words "Beijing Municipal" in its name, it actually has the power to provide business guidance to the provincial and municipal bureaus below it.

What they call the headquarters is actually just a signboard with a permanent office. It is true that Mr. Wang, Mr. Fang and several other old comrades are leaders of the headquarters, but they also have other positions and do not work in this so-called headquarters.

The main responsibility of this permanent office is coordination, not coordination with the provincial and municipal bureaus. The Beijing Municipal Bureau is responsible for that. What they have to do is coordinate the work with other departments.

For example, this case involves an instrument factory under the scientific research institute. The Social Affairs Bureau needs to send people from the Security Department to be responsible for security work. Then the headquarters office will have to come forward and coordinate many aspects of the issue with the scientific research institute.

If any problems occur in scientific research institutions under the industrial department, the Social Bureau will send people to investigate, and the permanent office at the headquarters will also be needed to coordinate some work with the industrial department.

It's like someone who is responsible for auxiliary work.

As for business issues, the permanent office does not care about them and they don’t understand them. These are all handled by the Beijing Municipal Bureau. So for the provinces and cities below, the comrades from the Beijing Municipal Bureau are really people who came down from above.

……

Li Yancheng didn't listen to their discussion of the case, as his thoughts had already wandered off to another place.

Stepping on his former hometown land, smoking the hometown cigarettes he smoked in his previous life, his heart was filled with ups and downs.

Now that you are here, do you want to go to the place where your parents worked in your previous life? See what your parents look like when they are thirty years old, see if your brothers and sisters from your previous life are still there, and you don’t know if you will still be in that family in this life.

He kept thinking about this problem while sitting in the car.

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

His parents in his previous life are still working in a unit in the mountains, and they will not be transferred to the city until the 1980s.

He suddenly proposed to go to a confidential unit located in the mountains to see two people who had never had any intersection with him.

As long as he dared to say this, he guaranteed that Su Xiaotong would definitely take him under control immediately and start the isolation and investigation again.

Alas... there will be more opportunities in the future. The two elders will still be in good health after more than 50 years. Let's wait until they come out of the mountains and return to the city to work. If he goes there now, he really can't find a suitable reason.

About an hour later, Director Guo rushed back, exhausted.

Yu Kexun has no family. According to what he said when he just came back from Beijing, he should have relatives, but none of them were found on the list he provided.

His current condition is such that he would probably die soon if his oxygen mask was removed.

……

April 1st, around midnight
A ward in the internal medicine department of the fourth hospital in Qinan City
Inside the room, under Director Guo's astonished gaze, Yu Kexun, who had been lying on the bed in a coma, slowly opened his eyes after Li Yancheng pierced him with six needles.

"What's your name?"

"Yu Kexun"

Although the pronunciation is still a little unclear, you can still hear it clearly if you listen carefully.

"Remember the code name Stone?"

"My former code name."

"From what year to what year did you use this code name?"

"From 1939 to 1944."

"Is there anyone who will take over the code name Stone after you?"

"Have"

"What is your name?"

"Wang Keping"

"That gram?"

"Overcome the Gram."

"That Ping?"

"Usually."

"how old?"

"He was in his twenties when he succeeded me." "Does Wang Keping have any obvious characteristics?"

……

This question took Yu Kexun a while to think about. Seeing the time passing by second by second, he dared not waste precious time like this. Li Yancheng was about to change the question when he finally spoke.

"The ears are hairy."

This answer made Su Xiaotong stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly wrote it down in his notebook.

"Did Wang Keping infiltrate the Red side?"

"do not know"

"How tall is Wang Keping?"

"One meter seventy..."

As soon as he said the seven words, Yu Kexun's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng hurriedly reached out and touched his left wrist, then quickly put it down, directing Su Xiaotong to tear off his hospital gown, picked up the long needle on the tray at the head of the bed, and pierced his chest three times, which gradually calmed him down.

Without any nonsense, Li Yancheng seized the opportunity to ask again.

After asking a few more questions, the last bit of Yu Kexun's life potential was squeezed out and his breathing gradually stopped.

It was about the same time as estimated, less than eleven minutes.

Seeing that he had stopped breathing, Li Yancheng went through the procedures, and after confirming that he was dead, he looked up at Su Xiaotong.

He didn't know whether the questions that Yu Kexun had just answered were related to Li Xueyi, so he could only rely on Su Xiaotong's judgment.

Su Xiaotong's face was a little solemn. He had been looking down at the notebook and felt Li Yancheng's gaze. He nodded slightly without raising his head, but soon shook his head.

This operation confused Li Yancheng. What does this mean? Is it the same and not the same?

However, Su Xiaotong did not explain to him. He closed the notebook in his hand, turned around and walked to Director Guo who had been waiting on the side.

Li Yancheng could only suppress the doubts in his heart temporarily.

The pressure lasted until four o'clock in the morning, when the two of them came to the guesthouse opened for them by the Qin Provincial Bureau to rest.

The guesthouses nowadays are like that, with two wooden beds and a bedside table in the room. The thermos has to be brought up from the registration office downstairs, and the toilet and washing are all shared on the floor.

"What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding your head just now?"

"It means I'm still unsure."

Taking the cigarette handed to him by Li Yancheng, Su Xiaotong sighed.

"Except for the one with long ear hair, which I don't know what he meant, the others are basically all true. However, those external conditions cannot confirm that it is Li Xueyi."

Long ear hair?

Li Yancheng frowned. He vaguely remembered where he heard or saw it in his previous life. He said it seemed to be hereditary.

But this is not the point now. The body was burned in such a state that not only the hair on the ears but also the hair on the body was burned cleanly. It has no reference value at all.

"Yancheng, what do you think the woman Yu Kexun mentioned at the end meant?"

Li Yancheng was also puzzled by this question.

His last question was whether he had seen Wang Keping again after liberation.

Yu Kexun’s answer was that he had seen her, which was a normal answer. What was abnormal was that he later added that he had also seen that woman.

This really made Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng very confused.

How come another woman suddenly appears?
Unfortunately, after answering this question, Yu Kexun’s life came to an end and he could no longer answer questions.

This left them with a big question mark.

female?

Women never appeared in the previous questions, so why did they appear at the end?
"Xiaotong, do you think it is possible that when Yu Kexun first met Wang Keping, there was a woman with him.

Later he saw Wang Keping with this woman again.

So when he answered my last question, he subconsciously said that he had seen that woman before. "

Su Xiaotong frowned and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed weakly and fell back on the bed.

There is no way to have an answer to this. Now only God knows what Yu Kexun meant by saying that.

However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, Wang Keping has received professional training, and through the inquiry just now, we learned that their training content includes training on how to use a dagger.

When Hong Dingguo was asked the day before yesterday, he said that he was taught how to use a dagger by Li Xueyi in 1946.

The reason why they taught him to use a dagger was because when they were planning to remove the first stone, Hong Dingguo only knew how to use a gun.

The place where the stones can be removed is a particularly quiet spot indoors.

If he used a gun, even with a silencer, it would inevitably attract other people's attention. In that case, Hong Dingguo would be discovered and he would be in great danger.

That's why Li Xueyi temporarily taught him where to use the dagger on the enemy's neck so as not to get himself covered in blood and prevent the opponent from speaking.

It was also after this time that Hong Dingguo also fell in love with this silent method.

Of course, the dagger cannot be considered as evidence, not even supporting evidence. It is just a pointer at best.

Now through their investigation, there are more and more doubts about Li Xueyi, and the context of the whole thing is gradually becoming clearer. What is currently lacking is hard evidence.

According to the current investigation, all the clues they have point to Li Xueyi.

If he is really a stone, then Director Zhong's entire family had indeed died at his hands.

When asked about this task just now, Yu Kexun's answer was also ambiguous.

Li Yancheng had asked many people in this way, but this was the first time he had seen such an ambiguous answer.

But it also pointed them in a direction.

What he asked at that time was where Shitou took the task of assassinating the family in Jinshi four or five years ago.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Kexun replied that it would most likely be a small life.

To be honest, this answer almost made Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong drop their jaws.

When asked the reason, he replied that he had doubts.

Why does he have such doubts, and why does he know who his successor will be? Because according to the rules, in this kind of inheritance, if the previous successor simply retired but is still alive, it is impossible for him to know who the next successor will be.

After further questioning, we learned that Yu Kexun was actually an instructor, so he was so clear about his successor.

The reason why he suspected that the second Shi Tou was still helping Xiao Ri Zi was that when he learned about the Zhong family tragedy, he went to investigate. During the investigation, he found out that Shi Tou’s superior had died. Not only that, two people who trained at the same time as Wang Keping also died in unclear circumstances.

In order to save his life, Yu Kexun hurriedly hid in the army of an old comrade-in-arms. From then on, he completely lost all contact with the group related to Shi Tou.

It is very simple to see that Shitou himself is still alive after liberation. The second Shitou didn’t know his real name. Another point is that he was disfigured on the battlefield and his face was full of scars. Not to mention Shitou, even his biological parents would not be able to recognize him if they were still alive.

Since they had no mood to sleep, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong sat on the bed with pen and paper and went over the whole case again.

According to the existing clues, Li Xueyi took over Shitou in 1944, and received a mission from an unknown place in 1945, and went to Jinshi to commit the Zhong family massacre.

Then it might have been attacked here, because since then the code name "Stone" seemed to have disappeared.

After breaking into this place, in order to gain merit, they created two stones in 1946 and 1948 respectively, and used other people's hands to remove them.

As for the fact that he taught Hong Dingguo to slit his neck with a dagger, it was probably to divert some people's attention to Hong Dingguo.

After liberation, Li Xueyi was ordered to continue to lie undercover. Now, looking back and thinking carefully, all the cases he handled in the past twenty years seemed to have been solved in the end, but they all had one thing in common, that is, the accomplices who did not know the details were basically alive, but the main criminals were dead and there was almost no confession.

The only exception was Pan Youwei, who was shot in the head in July last year but was pulled back from the brink of death by Li Yancheng to explain some problems.

Ever since Li Xueyi's accident, Su Xiaotong has been constantly reminiscing.

It actually reminded him of some details, which was on July 1 last year when Li Yancheng brought Pan Youwei back from the brink of death and was able to question him for about ten minutes.

He asked a question at that time, but before Pan Youwei could answer, Li Xueyi asked another question. This was not a big deal, as time was tight and he could ask as many questions as possible.

But looking back on it later, there are quite a few problems.

Because Li Yancheng deliberately said at the time that the questions asked should not be vague, but should be direct. However, the questions asked by Li Xueyi at that time were the kind of questions that a normal person would have to think about for a while, let alone Pan Youwei in that state.

That question wasted a full minute or two, and ultimately resulted in Su Xiaotong not getting an answer to the question he wanted to ask.
