Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 293 Strange

This rumor is more like the gossip of a group of men when they are bored.

"You mean, Guan Xiaofeng and Wei Haiping do have that kind of close relationship?"

"Stop thinking about it." Su Xiaotong stood up and brushed the dust off his butt.

"Let's go back and see if there is any problem with the bag of medicine we found from the Wei family. If there is no problem, everything we just said will be invalid.

If there is any problem, let's slowly sort out the relationship between them."

"Don't worry, we're already here, let me go inside and take a look, I don't want this trip to be in vain."

After entering the small courtyard, the two of them kept talking in the yard and had not yet entered the house.

Hearing him say this, Su Xiaotong pushed open the door behind him. The airflow brought by the wooden door raised the dust in the house.

The two of them stood outside for a while, waiting for the dust to settle a little, and then they stepped over the threshold one by one and entered the house.

Except for the person who came in and inspected the room after the discovery that day, no one has entered the room in the past few days. Because the air has not been circulating, the smell in the room is not pleasant.

It was a good thing that the blood on the ground was cleaned up that day, otherwise no one would be able to come in today.

Su Xiaotong didn't know what Li Yancheng wanted to see, but he felt there was nothing to see here.

In fact, Li Yancheng himself didn’t know what he wanted to see.

After walking around the house, the two of them went out again, looked at the other two rooms, and then walked out of the yard.

Just as I was locking the door when the gate to the east courtyard was opened, and Mrs. Wang poked her head out.

When she saw Li Yancheng locking the door, Mrs. Wang was obviously relieved.

"It's Comrade Li. I was startled when I heard some noise in the yard just now. I was ready to go to the police station."

That day, Li Yancheng took her to the research institute to look at photos for several hours, and the two became quite familiar with each other.

"Sister Wang, I'm sorry. I came over to say hello to you just now, but I saw that your gate was locked, so I didn't knock."

"I just got back too, Comrade Li, can Liu Jiaquan come back?"

Mrs. Wang asked with a gossipy look on her face.

What happened to the Liu family was the biggest scandal in their neighborhood in recent years.

They came when there were not many people in the alley. If they had come in the afternoon just after dinner, the entrance would have been surrounded by people inside and outside.

"Haha." Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Sister Wang, I can't say for sure whether she can come back or not, but there will be news soon.

You are busy, we are leaving first!"

"Hey, take care, both of you."

If it had been someone from the local police station, Mrs. Wang would have definitely chased after them and asked them about the matter, but when she heard that those investigating the case were from the Municipal Bureau, she didn't dare to act rashly and could only say goodbye with some reluctance.

……

“There must be something wrong with these drugs.”

After returning to the office, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong went to the evidence room and found all the things that were taken out from the Wei family and handed over by the Security Department that day.

The medicine Wei Haiping took was not prescribed by the hospital, but was small Chinese herbal pills bought from Leshoutang Pharmacy on Xidan North Street.

Le Shou Tang has a shop in front and a factory in the back. Many people find it troublesome to take the Chinese medicine home and boil it every day, so they can make it into honey pills so that it is convenient for patients to drink after returning home.

Although the paper bag brought back from the Wei family also contained small black pills, Li Yancheng could tell at a glance that these pills looked more like they were shaken by hand, and the surface of the pills looked a little rough if you looked closely.

The process of manually shaking medicine pills is a bit similar to the process of shaking coal balls in winter.

But Le Shou Tang has its own machine, and the pills it produces are of uniform size and have a smooth surface.

Less than twenty small pills poured out of the paper bag. Li Yancheng stared at them for a long time, picked one out from the middle and looked at it carefully.

"This pill looks like the medicine from Le Shou Tang. Xiaotong, look, although these two pills look about the same size and color, look carefully at the smoothness of the pills themselves."

"Hey, now that you mention it, it does seem different."

Su Xiaotong picked up the plate and looked at it carefully for a long time towards the light.

"Okay, have someone send these pills to the pharmaceutical research institute. They're quick there, so have them test the ingredients and separate this pill from the others.

Tell them that it may contain cyanide such as potassium cyanide, and they can move faster with a direction. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the evidence room was pushed open and Lao Xu appeared at the door.

"I heard that you two came here as soon as you came back. Did you find anything?"

"I did find something." Su Xiaotong nodded and carefully pushed the plate of medicine to Lao Xu as if he was presenting a treasure.

"This is the medicine that Wei Haiping took every day during his lifetime. If our guess is correct, his medicine has been replaced with poison.

The murderer had planned it. He was supposed to die on the night of the 26th, but for some reason he didn't take the medicine that night, and ended up dying on the 27th."

Old Xu was looking down at the medicine on the plate. He was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Xiaotong's words. He straightened up and said with some surprise.

"You mean, his death on the morning of the 27th was actually very hasty, and it was an unplanned act for the murderer."

"Yes." Su Xiaotong nodded. "Director, do you remember what Liang Jinhua said in her confession? She said that when her husband came back from buying groceries that morning, he found all the deposit slips and planned to go to the police station to surrender at eight o'clock."

"That's right"

"But just as Wei Haiping took out the deposit slip, he made a gesture as if he was listening attentively, then opened the door and ran out. This is what Liang Jinhua said, but she also said that she didn't hear any sound."

Lao Xu thought about it, said nothing, and just nodded.

Next, Su Xiaotong told Li Yancheng about his and Li Yancheng's previous inferences.

After hearing this, Lao Xu pulled a chair and sat down, frowning and thinking.

Seeing him like this, Su Xiaotong picked up the plate on the table and walked out, arranging for someone to deliver the medicine to the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

Just when Li Yancheng was almost done smoking the cigarette in his hand, Lao Xu finally woke up from his thoughts. He first tapped the table a few times with his fingers.

"Bang Bang Bang..."

"Yancheng, your speculation does make sense, but even if the medicine was really replaced with poison, you can't just say that it was Guan Xiaofeng who did it.

So far, we haven't found any evidence that the two had an affair. It's hard to convince people with just a rumor that seems to be true."

"Director, they said they were having an affair, but that's just what Xiao Tong and I talked about. As for whether it's true or not, let's hear what Liang Jinhua has to say.

As a couple who share a bed, whether the one sleeping next to them has cheated on their partner, the other will have a feeling even if there is no evidence. "

"When will she wake up?"

Lao Xu raised his arm and looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock.

"I woke up around 2pm yesterday, so it should be around the same time today."

On the day Li Yancheng and his men returned from Nanshi, Liang Jinhua took the initiative to accept the special interrogation methods used on her.

Because it takes a short time, her wakefulness time is relatively fixed every day, and the wakefulness time is also relatively long, about two hours, and she can still move around on her own after waking up.

This is Li Yancheng's improvement to a special method. So far, the effect seems to be quite good, and no other side effects have been found yet.

For example, it didn't take Ma Dagui and his wife a minute in total yesterday. They were unconscious when they were sent away from here yesterday afternoon. This morning, as soon as they got to work, they received a call from the Security Department, saying that the couple woke up at around five in the morning, but were still a little dizzy.

This improvement will make things much more convenient. Otherwise, every person who has been questioned will have to lie down for half a month and will not be able to move independently. If there are too many suspects, it will be impossible to take care of them all.

"Okay, then remember to ask her later. The bureau office just notified me that there will be a meeting in the bureau this afternoon. I'm going there now. Please tell Xiaotong for me."

"no problem"

Lao Xu opened the door of the evidence room and walked out, but stopped again and almost bumped into by Li Yancheng who was following closely behind him.

"Sincerity"

"arrive"

"When Xiaotong mentioned your speculation just now, did he have something else to say?"

Old Xu waved his hand to signal Li Yancheng to follow, and then walked towards the front yard.

"It's not like I have anything unfinished to say, I just feel it's a little weird."

"What's strange about that?"

"Aren't you in a hurry to get to the bureau? You can't even explain it in a few words."

"Just pick out the key points."

Well, since the leader wants to hear it, just say it, Li Yancheng pursed his lips.

"The point is that we think Xue Baolai's role is a bit redundant." "Redundant?" Old Xu stopped again and turned to look to the side in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"Look, I can't explain it in just a few words." Li Yancheng spread his hands, looking helpless.

This made Lao Xu's breathing stagnate. He raised his finger and pointed at him unhappily: "You little bastard, are you deliberately teasing me?"

"Look, look, I told you to wait until you come back to report, and you asked me to pick out the key points, but after I finished speaking you were not satisfied. Are you going to let me live?"

"Get lost!"

Old Xu was so angry that he raised his foot as if to kick.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng quickly stepped back several steps and said with a chuckle.

"Director, you'd better hurry to the bureau. Today is your first meeting as a new member of the bureau. If you go late, your superiors will think you are just getting cocky after being promoted."

"Wait for me. You are not allowed to leave work until you see me. I want to hear your report today."

After saying this, Lao Xu put his hands behind his back and strolled towards the front yard, leaving Li Yancheng standing there dumbfounded.

What is this? Is this using power to oppress others? Should I resist?
Just when Li Yancheng was about to jog after him and jump up and down, Su Xiaotong came out of the big office of Action Team 1 and called him.

"Yancheng, why are you standing there like an idiot? Xue Baolai is awake, do you want to go?"

"Coming"

The case is still important!

……

Although Li Yancheng had adjusted the acupuncture method for special interrogation and the side effects were much smaller, Xue Baolai was still very depressed because he had experienced three special interrogations in a short period of time.

What’s slightly better than before is that he can sit up with help and eat and drink by himself.

When he saw Li Yancheng come in, like other people who had experienced special interrogation, a hint of fear inevitably revealed in his eyes. He even forgot to chew the food he had just put into his mouth. He sat on the bed and stared blankly at the two people who had just come in.

"Xue Baolai, how do you feel?"

"Uh... it's... it's OK, but... I just feel really dizzy."

"Eat your meal, and let's chat."

After saying hello to the guard who was taking care of him, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong each pulled up a chair and sat down.

Xue Baolai carefully glanced at Li Yancheng, who had been silent since he came in. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he started eating. However, his eyes would still glance over there consciously or unconsciously.

"Just enjoy your meal. When I ask you a question, just answer what you know. Why are you staring at him? He's not eating you."

"Yes, Su... Director Su, if you ask, I will tell you what I know."

Look, he is as docile as a cat. People who don’t know him would never guess that he is a specially trained undercover agent who has been involved in four murders.

"Xue Baolai, what do you think is your position in your group?"

"What status?" Xue Baolai repeated the question in a low voice, with a bitter look on his face.

He shook his head slowly and said, "Director Su, if you had asked me this question before, I would have said that I am very important.

But now, I myself don’t know what my status is.

If you hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't have known that the superior who contacted Cao Wanquan was not the same person as my superior.

I always thought that there were only three of us in our group, me, Cao Wanquan, and that person who was online, but now it seems... Alas!"

Xue Baolai seemed very depressed.

"I remember you said earlier that your superiors have no direct contact with the Guan family mother and son, right?"

"Yes"

"But we now have evidence that the person behind you can at least be directly connected to Guan Wei."

"No...impossible, right?"

After hearing Su Xiaotong's words, Xue Baolai was stunned.

"You know that Wei Haiping is dead, right?"

"Yes," Xue Baolai nodded, "I heard that he committed suicide by jumping off a building, isn't that right?"

"It's definitely not suicide, because Wei Haiping originally planned to turn himself in. If he was planning to turn himself in, how could he commit suicide?

Moreover, he kept the deposit certificates of the money Cao Wanquan gave him in his pocket, but after his death, all these deposit certificates were gone. "

"Surrender yourself!"

Xue Baolai really didn't know this news. He stared at Su Xiaotong with wide eyes, as if he wanted to tell whether the words were true or not from his face.

"Director Su, I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Well, I know you don't know the details, I just want to ask your opinion on this matter."

"I don't know what I think." Xue Baolai shook his head and said, "Alas, I advised Haiping to withdraw, but he just wouldn't listen to me.

I asked him who the person was who pulled him in, but he refused to tell me and just smiled mysteriously every time.

To be honest, I didn't dare to make a big deal about it, so I just had to let him do what he wanted."

"He told his wife that the man was an unexpected person. What kind of person do you think would surprise you?"

"There are so many people who can surprise me. You asked me that day, and I really can't think of it."

Indeed, what Wei Haiping said at the time was too general and could not be used as a reference at all.

"Okay, let me change the question. That night, Mao Chunan sent the developed plates to the yard in Xuanwu District. This was something you had agreed on in advance, right?"

"Yes, that's the time Guan Weizheng told me."

"Who else knows?"

"My upline, I put it in the place she specifies right after I get the final version, so she knows the time."

"When you went over there and saw Mao Chunan dead, your first instinct was that your superior killed him, right?"

"That's right, because she was the only one who knew that Mao Chunan would go there to place the negative plate that night."

"Then have you ever thought that since she's gone, why doesn't she just take the plate herself? Why does she have to wait for you to get it?"

"Didn't I tell her before? I'm going to put some money in there. She doesn't dare to see me in the room. Maybe she's worried that I'll force myself to see her face. She doesn't want me to know who she is."

"Didn't you suspect that Guan Weizheng killed him?"

"I thought about it, but I can't think of a reason."

"Then let me tell you now, it was Guan Wei who killed him, and he was also poisoned by Mao Chunan's needle, but he didn't know that the needle was poisonous.

So he died at home the next morning. Guan Xiaofeng committed suicide after seeing her son die. "

Xue Baolai's mouth was almost open.

He only knew that the mother and son of the Guan family were both dead, and he thought that they had been exposed and had no choice but to choose suicide.

That was why he could go to Nanshi so calmly at that time, because after the death of Guan mother and son, no one would know him, otherwise he would have to run away in hiding.

"But...why did Guan Weizheng want to kill Mao Chunan?"

"Because he received orders."

"Life..." Xue Baolai was stunned, and muttered to himself after a long while: "She...she can contact Guan Weizheng directly, so why do I need her?"

This is the question that Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong want to figure out.

They believed that if they could figure out this problem, they would be able to solve the case.

"Xue Baolai, tell me, could that unexpected person Wei Haiping was talking about be you?"

"Impossible, Cao Wanquan doesn't know me at all. I know Cao Wanquan, but he doesn't know me. We have never come into contact in daily life, so the unexpected thing Wei Haiping mentioned is definitely not referring to me.

And to be honest, if Chief Li didn't know that strange method, I wouldn't be worried about being caught by you.

As long as I don't tell you, you won't have any evidence, and someone will come to save me."

Xue Baolai was not talking nonsense. If it were not for Li Yancheng's special interrogation method, even if they caught Xue Baolai, they would release him sooner or later.

Not to mention Professor Zhang, the committee will take action.

"Director Su, Chief Li, I'm also confused now. Since my superior can contact Guan Weizheng directly, why does she want me to do that? To help her get out of this situation?"
