Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 334 Still alive
Li Yancheng didn't want to listen to what she said at the moment. He walked to the pregnant woman and grabbed her wrist.

Fortunately, the pregnant woman’s problem was not serious, it was just abnormal fetal movement caused by excessive mood swings.

Because Meng Lan didn't allow her to go into the room for the acupuncture, the pregnant woman's father-in-law had to move a recliner for her to lie on first, and Li Yancheng gave her an acupuncture to stabilize the fetal movement.

"Let them all go into this room first, and we'll have a good talk. You should be able to hear no movement outside. We are very sincere. Just tell us what conditions you have. The leaders are all outside, and I will convey your conditions to them. There are no windows in this room, so you don't have to worry about them running away. How do you do that?"

After giving the pregnant woman an injection, Li Yancheng put away the needle. After a long moment of silence, he looked at Meng Lan and made a proposal to her sincerely.

There is really no point in keeping all these people in the yard. They can't run away anyway. They are all old and young, and there is no need to worry about what will happen to them. Meng Lan did not refuse this suggestion. She really needed to talk to the people from the Social Affairs Bureau. These people were delaying things here.

"Can"

After watching them all go into the house, Li Yancheng pulled over a small stool and sat in the shade, then took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

"Meng Lan, Uncle Hu just said there is a dead body in your room. Can you tell me who it is?"

"Do you know Zhang Yong?"

“The deliveryman from Taiping Glove Factory?”

"Wow, you guys are quite fast. You found out about him so quickly." Meng Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She thought that the people from the Social Affairs Bureau had not found Zhang Yong yet.

"You guys have caused such a big commotion. If we still can't find out, then we are too incompetent. It's like we can find you here."

"Speaking of this, I'm still a little curious, how did you find out about me?"

"Zhao Guangrun told us."

"Zhao..." This name made Meng Lan stunned for a moment, and then she asked uncertainly.

"You mean the cook?"

"That's right." Li Yancheng was also a little confused. It seemed that this old woman didn't know Zhao Guangrun.

"Impossible. I watched him die and waited for several hours before leaving. There is no way he is still alive. What's more, he doesn't even know my name."

"He knows you are Lotus. Meng Lan, can you help me solve this puzzle? I noticed that you don't seem to know Zhao Guangrun. What is the relationship between you and him? Why did you want to kill him?"

"Do you believe me when I say I have nothing to do with him?"

"Then why did you kill him?"

"Because he ruined our business and killed our people."

Li Yancheng was silent for a moment, then said in surprise: "Liang Qiutao and the others are your people. Did Zhao Guangrun kill them?"

"That's right, okay kid, I've said everything I need to say, now let's talk about business." Meng Lan changed the subject, she didn't want to continue explaining anything.

"What are your conditions? Tell me."

Although his mind was still full of questions, Li Yancheng knew that now was not the time to continue asking questions and he could only go along with Meng Lan's words.

"My conditions are very simple. All you have to do is send one person here."

"Don't tell me it was someone above you. You should know that it is impossible to do that."

When he heard that they were going to send someone over, Li Yancheng immediately gave her a shot of prevention in advance.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. The person I'm talking about is called Wang Quanshan. At your age, you probably don't know who he is. Just go tell your leader.

But boy, I have to say something ugly first. I won't set a time for you. You can send it over any time you want, but my health is not good."

At this point Meng Lan raised her left hand and gestured.

"I'm holding a detonator. As long as I let go, the explosives in my house will explode. You don't have to think about cutting off the power here. I'm connected to a battery. If I lose my strength and let go, you can imagine how powerful the damage will be.

By the way, you don’t have to worry about me trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain so that you can rest assured. The remaining 150 kilograms of explosives are all here.

Don't think about breaking the wire on the ground. If the wire is broken, the explosion will explode."

Seeing that the guy glanced at the wires from time to time, Meng Lan, who was about to stop, finally spoke up to remind him.

Her reminder was really timely. Li Yancheng did have this idea in mind, but when he heard that the wire would explode if it was broken, he immediately put away that little thought.

He smiled awkwardly: "You have to tell me where the Wang Quanshan you mentioned is now. Otherwise, he is in the northwest, and it will be impossible to bring him back to you in three to five days."

"No, I'm 100% sure that he is in Beijing, so don't try to delay time by saying he's not here. The longer you delay, the more likely I will let go..."

Just as he said this, Meng Lan suddenly started coughing violently. Looking at the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, Li Yancheng frowned. It seemed that this old woman really didn't have much time left.

Just now when we were outside, Director Zhong said that this woman has been under investigation by the committee because of reports from others, and it has been going on for three years.

Now that the review is over, it doesn’t mean that she is fine, but her health is no longer good, she has lung cancer.

This means that she is now in a state of seeking death, and basically nothing can make her stop on her own initiative.

And her current thought process is definitely different from that of normal people.

Seeing Meng Lan's whole body moving because of coughing, Li Yancheng stared at her shaking left hand. He felt frightened every time her hand moved.

It was so exciting to step on the wine. If the old woman let go unconsciously... he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After waiting for her to stop coughing, he quickly said, "Meng Lan, do you want me to take a look at you? I may not be able to cure your illness, but I can still make your body feel better temporarily and stop coughing."

Li Yancheng's suggestion made Meng Lan, who was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, pause. A hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes, but soon her eyes became clear again.

"Boy, you have a good plan. Come closer to me and try to control me, right?"

"Meng Lan, you really misunderstood this time." Li Yancheng tried hard to make the expression on his face look more sincere.

"I'm just worried that if you cough again, your left hand might loosen unconsciously because it's too uncomfortable. Then... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm still young and don't want to sacrifice myself like this."

"No need to worry." Meng Lan smiled faintly.

"I won't let go until I see the person I want to see. Of course, if you have other ideas, that's another matter.

Okay kid, if you want to continue to waste time with me here, I have no problem with that, but I don’t know if your leaders and colleagues outside have the patience to continue waiting.”

Sitting in the front yard, you can clearly hear what's happening in the alley outside.

It is not clear whether arrangements have been made for nearby residents to evacuate, but there is no doubt that there are people at the gate of the yard at this time.

Li Yancheng also understood that he must first report Meng Lan's condition to his leader, and then make other plans.

"I will go out now and tell my boss about your conditions, and I will come in to continue communicating with you in time."

"Okay, go ahead. You'll have to come in later. If it's not you, I'll let go immediately."

"No problem, it must be me coming in."

As he spoke, Li Yancheng stood up. He took a deep look at the old woman who was sitting there and looked a little weak because she had just coughed, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Until his figure disappeared in the doorway, Meng Lan, who had always had a calm expression on her face, frowned slightly and murmured to herself: "A member of the Cheng family? Could he be the little master that the Cheng family lost that year?"

That year, she also received an order from her superiors to search for the lost child of the Cheng family in the team.

The order she received at that time was that if the child was found, steal it out if possible, or get rid of it if that didn't work. In short, she must not let anyone use the child to negotiate with the Cheng family and win them over.

This was the first order she had to complete after years of hiding. All the orders she had received before were to hide herself and wait for an opportunity to act.

Of course she didn't find the child, but she didn't expect to see the child more than 20 years later. He looked exactly like the eldest son of the Cheng family.

Just when she thought of this, she suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and shook her head. Why should she think about this now? Whoever the child he was, it had nothing to do with her now. She just wanted to fulfill her last wish.

Meng Lan exhaled lightly, raised her head and looked at the blue sky, her eyes full of confusion.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the calendar has turned to January 11, the 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a Sunday.

Today is the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is less than a month left until the Chinese New Year.

The cadre training class that Li Yancheng attended officially ended the day before yesterday, Friday, ending his six-month long study and getting a rare two-day vacation.

It was a little after seven in the morning, and he was in the house, humming a song quietly while kneading steamed buns on the chopping board.

The noodles were fermented last night and placed next to the stove. They were just fermented when I got up in the morning.

Just now at seven o'clock, his wife, with her belly beginning to show, went to the vegetable market with Xing Lihua and Xiao Ningning.

That’s right, Luo Min is pregnant. She found out in September and it’s been more than four months now.

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun stole the imperial horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fought in Changsha..."

"Dacheng"

"I'm in the house, come in." Jin Zhihai's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and Li Yancheng said without raising his head.

"Wow, how much dough did you make? How come you can steam so many buns?"

"I'm going to steam two pots this time. Please help me pour the water on the stove into the big pot. I'm going to steam one pot first. There's no room left."

"Okay, Dacheng, are you going back to work tomorrow?" Jin Zhihai picked up the kettle on the stove and asked as he poured water into the big pot of steamed buns next to the stove.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you yesterday? What's wrong?" Li Yancheng did not stop kneading the buns and turned his head to look at his good brother.

Jin Zhihai was promoted to deputy team leader of the first group of the Second Criminal Investigation Division in August last year. In July, the case of the stolen data from the instrument factory was closed. As expected, the Social Affairs Bureau recommended a third-class merit for him to the Beijing Municipal Government.

In addition, the credit for the previous Tong County case finally fell on him, and with the director's nod, he was smoothly promoted to deputy team leader and was able to lead people to handle cases independently.

In September, less than a month after he was promoted to deputy team leader, he led his men to Yangcheng. With the cooperation of the local police, he arrested the five arsonists who had caused the four fires as confessed by Meng Lan after her arrest.

The reason why the old woman knew the arsonist's details was that she forced the information out of Zhao Guangrun when she was dealing with him.

Originally, Meng Lan planned to deal with the arsonists personally, but she heard that they had already gone to Guangzhou and were waiting to be picked up to go to Hong Kong Island.

She knew that she couldn't do anything, so after being arrested she readily confessed everything she knew.

After the old woman was arrested that day, she was very frank when she confessed the problems of others in her hands, and even helped the Social Affairs Bureau catch two spies. However, when it came to her own problems, she became tight-lipped and refused to talk about them.

In her opinion, other people's problems can be discussed, but she will not say a word about her own problems.

Anyway, she was about to die, so she didn't believe that the people from the Social Affairs Bureau could do anything to her.

Unfortunately, she met Li Yancheng, and she had no say on whether to confess or not.

The matter involving this old woman is extremely complicated. She has been lurking for a long time, has been implicated in many cases, and is now in poor health.

In order to ensure that she stayed alive, Li Yancheng could only treat her while using special interrogation methods on her once every one to ten days, and each time could not exceed five minutes.

Yes, even if she knew that she didn't say it actively, she would still confess the truth involuntarily under that method. Even if Meng Lan woke up, she still chose not to speak.

There's no other way. Since she won't cooperate, I can only dig it out of her mouth little by little.

In this way, it seems that she has been captured for half a year, but based on the interrogation time of five minutes each time, even if it is four times a month, she can only be interrogated for twenty minutes a month.

In other words, the total time spent interrogating her was only about two hours.

What was revealed during the more than two hours of interrogation was nothing compared to the secrets hidden in her head.

Since she doesn't cooperate, I can only use this stupid method to endure it slowly.

But there is another key issue here, that is her illness. Meng Lan has lung cancer and she was treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Doctors from several hospitals diagnosed that she would not survive for more than a month, and she had to rely on painkillers to keep going during that time.

Now Li Yancheng has delayed the life of a person who should have died long ago for another five months, but facing the worsening condition, he no longer has any better solution.

It was still a little late to take over her treatment. If it had been even a month earlier, judging from her condition during this period of treatment, Li Yancheng was confident that she could live at least another two or three years.

This is a bit off topic, let’s talk about Meng Lan later.

Jin Zhihai, who was pouring water into the pot, said without raising his head: "I remember that you seem to have a deep understanding of footprints, right?"

"Footprints?" Li Yancheng stopped kneading the steamed buns and turned to look over: "The footprints I know are related to medicine, which is different from the trace analysis in criminal investigation.

Why do you think of asking this? Have you taken on a new case?"

"yes"

After pouring all the water in the kettle into the pot, Jin Zhihai bent down, picked up the pot and put it on the stove, then pointed to the grate on the table where the steamed buns were already placed waiting to be put into the pot and asked, "Put this in first, right?"

"Well, this one is at the bottom, and then you can put the two steamers there."

"Okay," Jin Zhihai nodded, and while putting the grate and steamer on the pot, he continued the previous topic and said, "I took on a case, a serial theft case, which can't be said to be a new case.

According to the current summary, the earliest case discovered occurred in our east city before November 1st, followed by Wen Chong, then east city, and finally Yang Chao.

Starting from the end of September, it happened once a month, exactly four times. Before that, the three branches were fighting independently. It was not until after New Year's Day, when the Municipal Bureau had a meeting, that the criminal investigation chiefs of Chengdong and Yangchao accidentally talked about the case while chatting together.

Only then did they discover that the theft cases being investigated by their two branches seemed to be committed by the same person. After reporting it to the Municipal Bureau, they discovered that Wen Chong also had a case that could be combined with theirs, so they handed it over to us.

The case value of the four cases was not large, adding up to only about 200 yuan, which was not a big case, but this person stole from ordinary people's homes, which had a particularly bad impact.

According to common sense, this thief might steal again at the end of this month, and the leader’s request is that he must not be allowed to succeed again.

Although there is no deadline for solving the case, today is already the 11th, which is no different from a deadline.

The current situation is that there are a lot of traces left at the scene, including fingerprints and footprints, but they are all incomplete, have little reference value, and there are no results from comparison.

The three districts of Chengdong, Yangchao and Wen Chong all went through the list of Buddhist masters within their respective jurisdictions, but found nothing.

It can be said that the investigation of these three district police stations has been completed.

I am at a loss now and can only turn around and start again from the traces left at the scene."

Jin Zhihai was a little depressed. This serial theft case with a small case value could be said to be the first case he took over after becoming the deputy team leader.

Before, when we went to Yangcheng to arrest people, we just followed the map and it wasn’t difficult.

This case is different. Many people are watching him, and many are waiting to laugh at him.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to prove himself, but the circumstances of this case were really confusing.

"Is one of the two thefts in the east of the city that you mentioned the one that happened at Old Yang's house in Baochao Hutong?"

After listening to his story, Li Yancheng thought for a while and asked.

"That's right." Jin Zhihai nodded. "The case in his family is the third in this series of cases. Twenty-three yuan and sixty cents, four catties of grain coupons, two taels of meat coupons, two taels of cotton coupons, and three feet of cloth coupons were lost."

In this era, the Yang family suffered heavy losses!

For the public security, murder cases must of course be solved, but thieves like this must be caught even more.

For most ordinary people, a murder may never happen around them in their lifetime, but the probability of being robbed is much higher.

Ordinary people also pay close attention to this type of case because it is closely related to everyone's life.

It is the responsibility of the public security system to solve such cases in a timely manner and try to recover the losses of the people whose property has been stolen.

Li Yancheng thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any photos of fingerprints and footprints?"

During the six months of studying at the General Cadre School, he asked for Jin Zhihai's textbooks from when he was studying at the Public Security Cadre School and read them carefully twice. He was more interested in trace inspection.

It is always good to have many skills, so he wants to learn more.

"Have"

"Let me see you back."

"No problem. Let's wait till tonight. I have to go to the office later. I can't have a weekend off until this case is solved. Hey, hasn't the criminal in your bombing case confessed yet?"

"Don't mention it." Li Yancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "She is like an abacus bead. She won't move unless you move her. But her body can't bear it. She can only be interrogated for a maximum of five minutes a week.

I don’t know how long it will take to get all the secrets out of her, but… well, I don’t think she’ll live much longer.”

Not to mention that she only had a few days left to live, the fact that Meng Lan was still alive today had already surprised all the doctors.

She fell into a coma on the day she was captured, and Li Yancheng used all his strength to pull her back from the brink of death.

The leaders of the Social Affairs Bureau at the time were worried that something might go wrong. After reporting to the headquarters, they also invited experts from other hospitals for consultation. The replies they received were basically the same, with the longest one saying that the maximum survival rate was two or three months.

But now half a year has passed, and this patient who was undoubtedly dying in their eyes is still alive. Apart from being a little thinner and looking a little listless than half a year ago, he looks no different from a normal person.

Several industry experts who were invited again were in the ward of the inpatient building dedicated to the Social Affairs Bureau of the Public Security Hospital. Some were looking at the examination reports, some were taking the patient's pulse. The expressions on their faces were almost the same, full of disbelief.

Even Director Liu Changshun of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the General Hospital of the Armed Forces was the same. He had already taken Meng Lan's pulse, and he had a clear understanding of the patient's physical condition half a year ago.

He said at the time that he could live for another two or three months, but now...

He could already feel from the pulse that this patient was really in the final stage of his life, but he didn't dare say that anymore.

What he said half a year ago is still fresh in my mind, but what about the facts?
"Yuanzhu, is this treated by Li Yancheng alone?"

"That's right, Lao Liu, what do you think of this patient now..."

"What did your Section Chief Li say?" Director Liu did not answer Director Zhong's question. He wanted to hear Li Yancheng's opinion first. This young man no longer brought him surprise, but shock.

When talking about his professional skills, he never belittles himself. He believes that there must be old monsters in the world who are better than him.

But that young man who seemed to have ordinary medical skills...
