Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 446 Investigation
Li Yancheng and Director Wu stayed in the emergency room for quite some time. When they came out, it was already an hour later. He had already done all the necessary treatment.

"Doctor Zhou, the patient will wake up before nine o'clock in the evening at the latest. After waking up, you can examine the patient according to what I just wrote and record the results of each item clearly. I will come to see him tomorrow morning.

If the patient is still not awake after 9pm, please contact me immediately."

While walking out, Li Yancheng gave instructions to a male doctor in his thirties who was following him.

The male doctor named Dr. Zhou was arranged by the general hospital to take care of Mr. Xue. There is another doctor who is resting now, so the two of them will take turns. Four nurses are arranged to take turns in twos.

At this moment, Doctor Zhou was lowering his head and quickly writing down what Li Yancheng said in the notebook in his hand.

The Xue family members who had gathered around wanted to ask about the old man's condition, but when they saw the doctor was talking, they dared not say a word even though they were extremely anxious.

When they heard that the old man could wake up at nine o'clock tonight at the latest, their originally nervous expressions couldn't help but relax a little.

"I understand, Teacher Li. When Doctor Guan comes over later, I will explain this to him clearly."

"Yeah." Seeing that Doctor Zhou had finished recording his words, Li Yancheng nodded, raised his arm, took off the white coat he had put on after entering, and handed it over.

"Director Wu, please explain the patient's condition to the family. I'll be over first."

"Secretary General, I'll see you off."

"Need not"

"Secretary Li, please stay."

Seeing Li Yancheng was about to leave, Xue Changhe spoke hurriedly.

"Hmm? This comrade knows me?"

Li Yancheng looked at the eldest son of the Xue family with some curiosity. He was very sure that he did not know the family of this patient. He had only heard of the patient lying inside but had never met him.

"Secretary General, this is the patient's eldest son, Xue Changhe, who works at the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission."

"Hello, Comrade Xue. I have already told Director Wu and Doctor Zhou about your father's condition. They will explain it to you." Li Yancheng knew the identity of the patient inside. The staff of the Health Bureau had explained it to him when they called him before.

He knew that due to his age, many patients and their families who did not know him or were not familiar with him were skeptical about his medical skills.

He was too lazy to explain anything, so after completing treatment for a patient, unless he knew the patient, he would leave it to the people at the hospital to explain.

"No, no, Secretary Li, it was Director Xu who asked me to tell you that if you have nothing to do this afternoon, wait for him here for a while. He will be here around three o'clock."

"Director Xu? Which Director Xu is Comrade Xue referring to?"

"He is Director Xu from the Municipal Social Affairs Bureau."

"Do you know Director Xu?" Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard that the Director Xu Xue Changhe was referring to was Old Xu.

"My father knows Director Xu. We are both from Liaoning Province."

"Oh, I see." Li Yancheng raised his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was almost three o'clock. He thought that there was nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so he might as well wait for Lao Xu.

"Okay then." He nodded and said, "Director Wu, I'd like to borrow your medical office to rest for a while."

"Please go ahead, Secretary General. The office door is open."

"Okay, Comrade Xue, I'm in the medical office. If Director Xu comes over later, please tell him."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Li Yancheng agreed, Xue Changhe nodded hurriedly.

Although he still didn't know the exact condition of his father, Director Xu had just said on the phone that Secretary Li's medical skills were definitely superb, and with him around, his father would at least not die.

For Xue Changhe, he no longer has time to consider his father's current position and the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. As long as he can save his life, the old man will still enjoy the treatment he deserves, and their family will still be able to benefit from this treatment.

Moreover, he also wanted to establish a personal relationship with the secretary-general in front of him. Although the Social Affairs Bureau was not a popular unit, his position was there after all. It was impossible for him to reach that position at such a young age without any connections. It was very likely that he came from a big compound.

It is very necessary to have good relations with such people.

The Xue family has almost no connections in Beijing now. If they can establish this kind of relationship, then why would they care what unit the other person works in?

"Brother, who is the Director Xu you just mentioned? And that one..."

After Director Wu finished introducing the old man's condition and left, the second son of the Xue family, Xue Changjing, grabbed his brother Xue Changhe's arm and asked impatiently.

The other people also looked at the head of the Xue family with burning eyes.

The reason why they were concerned about other things was mainly because the situation introduced by Director Wu just now allowed them to temporarily put aside their nervousness.

Knowing that their father's condition was now stable and he was just about to wake up, and that there was a very good chance that he would recover, meaning there would be no sequelae, they certainly felt much more relieved.

Once they relaxed, they became interested in Director Xu mentioned by the eldest son of the Xue family.

When did my brother get to know a director named Xu? This director also knew an expert from the Health Bureau.

"And that one, what does he do as the secretary general?"

In response to his sister's questioning, Xue Changhe did not hide anything. He repeated the identity of Director Xu introduced to him by the old man, and also told him some information he knew about Li Yancheng.

"Social Affairs Bureau? One is the director of the municipal bureau, and the other is the deputy secretary-general of the headquarters office?"

The identities of Lao Xu and Li Yancheng made the other members of the Xue family gasp.

Again, when it comes to this unit, outsiders generally keep their distance.

After all, few people want to be stripped naked in the eyes of others.

Xue Changshan, who was standing aside, had a flickering look in his eyes at this moment.

The old man knew that he was secretly dealing with the police, but he didn't know much, and he scolded him for this, which made him so excited that he had a cerebral thrombosis.

If the old man knew what he had done...

He simply couldn't bear to think of the consequences.

In fact, he didn't need to think too much. What would it be like if the old man was sick and hospitalized? There would be so many people coming to visit and give gifts that even if he rented a separate room, there might not be enough space for the gifts.

Now, it has been almost 20 hours since the old man was hospitalized last night, and the number of people who came to visit him can't even count up a pair of fingers and toes. If his old man knew what he did behind his back, he would not have a cerebral thrombosis, but would probably die of anger.

He wasn't worried about other people being exposed, but as for the people from the Social Affairs Bureau, even if he had never dealt with them before, he knew it would be very easy for them to find out what he had done.

What if he told his father...

"Changshan, what are you daydreaming about?"

Just when Xue Changshan was getting emotional, his sister Xue Changjing suddenly hit him with her elbow.

"Ah? What's wrong, sis?"

"Brother is talking to you, asking you to be careful and stop irritating our dad."

"Oh, brother, sister, don't worry, I definitely won't dare to do it again."

Hearing that his sister was talking about this, Xue Changshan responded hurriedly.

Xue Changhe looked at his younger brother deeply. He knew some of the little tricks this guy did behind his back. Although he knew them, he didn't dare to teach his brother a lesson openly now.

There are some things that can be said, but they must be said in private. The Xue family's foundation in Beijing is not stable. No, that's not right. It's not a question of whether the foundation is stable or not. The point is that they have no foundation at all.

Since I have no foundation, I must step up my game in this place full of bureaus and departments, and never let my brother continue to act recklessly.

This time it was the old man who found out. If it was known by others, they would do something with it, and it would be a lot of fun.

……

While Li Yancheng stayed in the main hospital waiting for Lao Xu to come, Jin Zhihai, who was sitting in the Dianhai Branch waiting for news of the investigation visit, was looking through some investigation materials sent from below in the small conference room of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Branch.

At present, because of the footprints at the scene, they are temporarily investigating the two cases that have already occurred and the series of cases ten years ago together.

This brings us to the question of why this criminal struck again after a ten-year interval.

Their analysis is that it is very likely that this criminal did not commit another crime for such a long time due to some force majeure reasons, and that he resumed his previous criminal behavior ten years later. This means that he is free again, or has returned to Beijing.

It seems that this person has been quiet for the past ten years. Either he was in jail for other reasons, so he certainly can't continue his criminal behavior, or he was one of those who went to the countryside to work in a production team or was demoted and has just returned to the city recently.

If he was sent to the countryside to work in a production team, would he have committed crimes there? Criminals involved in such serial crimes generally would not take the initiative to stop committing crimes unless there were irresistible external factors.

On the one hand, they issued a joint investigation notice to the provincial and municipal bureaus through the ministry, requesting an investigation and statistics of all cases of first having sex and then killing that occurred in various places within the past ten years.

On the other hand, they retrieved files from the court and investigated all criminals sentenced in the 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, focusing on those who had been sentenced for more than ten years.

What Jin Zhihai was looking at at this time was the files transferred from the court.

After obtaining the files, some people have already conducted investigations and visits to these released persons.

"Director Jin, do you want to transfer the files of prisoners serving sentences of less than ten years?"

Less than ten years?

After hearing what the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Section of the Branch said, Jin Zhihai hesitated. Their current workload is already very heavy, and if they have to transfer the files of prisoners who have been sentenced to less than ten years, the workload will be even greater.

Just when he was about to say no, he suddenly thought that if this criminal was deliberately trying to avoid investigation by going to jail, then he would most likely deliberately cause trouble in prison, thereby increasing his sentence.

Thinking of this, he put down the file he was reading, frowned and nodded.

"Let's transfer them. One sheep is released, a flock of sheep is driven. Now that we have done this job, we might as well do it thoroughly, so that we don't have to go back and start all over again if we can't find a breakthrough in other directions in the future."

"Yes"

After sending away the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Section of Dianhai Branch, Jin Zhihai reached out to light a cigarette, then lowered his head and began to carefully look through the stack of documents on the table.

The court staff also knew that this case had been registered with the higher authorities and that many eyes were watching it. They were particularly cooperative when the people from the Dianhai Branch came to check the files and retrieve the information, and they even sent someone to help.

Otherwise, Jin Zhihai and his colleagues simply cannot spare any extra people to go to the court to do these tasks. It will take several days for one or two people to check the information in the court's archives.

It’s nothing like now, where most of the information and files were sorted out in less than a day.

Jin Zhihai can't actually see anything by looking at these materials now. If he can find out something just by looking at textual materials, it would not be criminal investigation.

He now plans to familiarize himself with the released persons provided in the information so that he will not be clueless when he talks to them later.

"Deputy Director Jin, this person was sentenced for attempted rape ten years ago. He was sentenced to ten years and was released in mid-June."

There is a lot of information. If Jin Zhihai were to check it alone, he would not be able to finish it even if he did not sleep for two or three days. There were other people from the second department in the small conference room who were also checking it carefully.

After a while, someone came over with a file.

Jin Zhihai took the file and looked through it carefully.

The released person is called Chen Shuanniu, he is 47 years old and a widower. His home is at the junction of Dianhai, Jingshan and Taifeng districts, not far from the crime scene of the 1992 case.

His wife died of complications during childbirth of their second child twelve years ago.

Ten years ago in the summer, one night he was on his way home after getting drunk at a friend's house when he met a single lesbian who was also returning home from a night out.

In the summer, everyone was wearing thin clothes. This guy was hiding behind a tree and relieving himself. The female comrade happened to pass by not far from him and didn't notice him at all.

Chen Shuanniu had not been able to find a wife since his wife passed away two years ago. He had been holding it in for two years. He drank some wine that night. It is said that alcohol makes cowards brave. In addition, the street lights on that road were dim, and there were few people in front and behind, and there were no households nearby.

He became aroused and secretly went up to the woman, covered her mouth, tore off her clothes, and pulled her behind the big tree where he had just relieved himself.

He almost succeeded. The female comrade was also lucky. Just when she was most helpless, a few patrolling security officers came over and Chen Shuanniu was caught on the spot.

In fact, this case also attracted attention at that time. After all, the series of cases had not been solved at that time, and there was not even any clues. After Chen was arrested, the Dianhai Branch immediately reported it to the Municipal Bureau.

The person in charge of the interrogation at that time was Tian Kecong, the then director of the Criminal Investigation Division 2 of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who was also Jin Zhihai's leader. He called him Uncle Tian in private and had a very good relationship with his father. It was thanks to Uncle Tian that he was transferred from the police station to the Municipal Bureau.

Tian Kecong is now the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau in charge of public security.
