Animal Detective

Chapter 411 Face to Face
Early in the morning, at Guo's Noodle Shop.

"Boss, a bowl of noodles, please."

Shen Xin entered the noodle shop, glanced at the menu on the wall, and said, "Pickled mustard greens with shredded pork, and add some braised pork intestines."

"it is good."

A response came from the kitchen, and Guo Kaitai peeked in, paused, and hurriedly said, "Officer Shen, what brings you here?"

He quickly put down the strainer in his hand and came out.

"Where's Auntie?" Shen Xin glanced around the kitchen but didn't see Guo Jinhua's mother.

Guo Kaitai hurriedly wiped his hands with a towel, then stepped forward to shake hands with Shen Xin and Yang Zeran, saying, "I went to the hospital for dialysis."

He explained briefly, then eagerly asked if there had been any progress in the case.

His face was full of anticipation.

Shen Xin's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "That's right, there has been some progress in the case."

Guo Kaitai was overjoyed.

But then she asked nervously, "Officer Shen, you're not lying to me, are you?"

For the past two years, he would occasionally go to the team to ask, and the answer he always got was the same: they were investigating and there were no results yet.

"No." Shen Xin shook his head.

There has indeed been progress, but this progress is based on the speculation that your son is the murderer.

Shen Xin said, "Uncle, we came here today to see your son again and have a chat. Please don't overthink it; we're still investigating the case."

After offering a word of comfort, Shen Xin turned to Yang Zeran and asked what he wanted to eat.

Yang Zeran glanced at the menu and said, "Same one."

Guo Kaitai nodded and hurried downstairs.

When they came out to scoop out the toppings, they wanted to add gluten and pork chops, but Shen Xin stopped them, saying they couldn't eat that much in the morning.

"You've been running around so much, it must be tiring. Eat more, I won't charge you."

Guo Kaitai's men didn't stop.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Shen Xin gave up, figuring he could just pay the money normally later anyway.

He picked up the fatty intestines, took a bite, and his expression changed slightly.

Yang Zeran across from him also quickly looked up and glanced at Shen Xin.

Careless.

This is definitely the pork intestine dish I made yesterday; the taste is off.

His business wasn't doing too well; he hadn't sold all the braised pork intestines he made, but he couldn't bear to throw them away, so he reheated them again today.

Shen Xin glanced at the pile of toppings on the table, sighed inwardly, and continued eating as if nothing had happened, while casually chatting with Guo Kaitai about everyday matters.

Across from him, Yang Zeran pushed the two toppings towards Shen Xin and silently ate his noodles.

The main topic of discussion was the relationship between Guo Jinhua and his wife, and then the conversation veered towards Guo Meijing.

Mentioning Guo Meijing caused Guo Kaitai's eyes to redden. He sniffled and said the child was so pitiful that he wished he could give his own life to save the child.

They even said that out of several people in the family, only the two most useless and deserving-to-die people survived.

"Uncle, please don't say that."

Shen Xin offered a word of advice.

We chatted for a while, but didn't get anything out of it.

In Guo Kaitai's eyes, Guo Jinhua and his wife were loving, and he was particularly satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Fu Lanting, praising her only the good points.

They all seemed to be speaking from the heart.

After finishing his noodles, Shen Xin stood up and quickly scanned the QR code to pay.

"Uncle, let's go straight to the hospital then, and we can bring Auntie and the others back later, saving us the trouble of taking the bus."

The Yunlin branch hospital doesn't offer dialysis, so they have to go to the more distant Tingyang Hospital.

Since there was no car, the elderly woman pushed him in a wheelchair to take the bus.

Guo Kaitai chased after them, thanking them repeatedly, and watched them get into the car before reluctantly returning.

Yang Zeran said, "When they find out you've listed his son as a suspect, they'll probably give you a piece of their mind."

Shen Xin said, "It's like it has nothing to do with you."

The idea came about together, and they went over the accounts.

"You're the leader." Yang Zeran snorted lightly, skillfully rummaging through his backpack to pull out norfloxacin, and asked Shen Xin if he wanted some.

Shen Xin said, "At least the noodles are fresh."

Yang Zeran neither confirmed nor denied it, but said quietly, "I don't think pickled mustard greens taste right either."

Shen Xin sighed softly and reached out to ask for two.

Heading to Tingyang Hospital.

Yang Zeran said, "It's been almost three years. I think he's already mentally prepared. What's the point of you going now?"

Suspecting Guo Jinhua as the murderer, they each took their own actions.

Ding Yuwei and her team investigated the motive.

Shen Xin also personally visited Liu Jie and his group, requesting their help.

No one said no.

It wasn't just because I owed Shen Xin a favor, but also because of Shen Xin himself.

In Liu Jie's view, Shen Xin is not an ordinary criminal police officer, but a criminal police officer with special skills.

Can you guarantee that you won't encounter cases related to animals in the future, or even need to investigate and use police dogs?
For that reason alone, Liu Jie wouldn't say no.

He organized a group of people, quite a few, and created a group chat for Shen Xin with 19 people.

This involves 5 districts and 4 counties in Pingyu. They are instructed to directly liaise with Shenxin and communicate any findings promptly.

Xiong Yongjian and the people in Linshui are doing the same thing. The net has been cast, but whether there will be any results remains to be seen.

Shen Xin, of course, couldn't sit idle either, and started planning to see Guo Jinhua again.

Face to face.

Of course, it's not the kind of thing you do to startle the suspect.

In some cases, when no clues can be found, this can be done to make the suspect panic, think that the police are watching him, and thus take action to try to destroy certain evidence.

Guo Jinhua is not like that.

Shen Xinyi will not disclose the progress of the investigation; secondly, even if he wanted to take action, he couldn't.

"I just wanted to see him, to stare into his eyes, and see if my intuition was right." Shen Xin pointed to his eyes.

Previously, Guo Jinhua was not considered a suspect; when we looked at him, we treated him as a victim.

Now he is a suspect.

So the feeling is different.

Yang Zeran smiled knowingly: "Not bad, I've been doing this for four years and I still haven't developed the intuition of a criminal investigator."

He knew that some veteran detectives who had spent their entire lives solving cases had what was called intuition due to their rich experience.

But Shen Xin?
I've been with the company for less than two years.

"Hey, are you looking down on me?"

Shen Xin snorted lightly. Although he had only been with the company for a short time, he had handled quite a few murder cases.

Before long, the two arrived at Tingyang Hospital.

The mother and son were in the dialysis room.

Guo Jinhua lay there, utterly despondent.

His mother, Tao Yiping, stood by his side, her eyes fixed on the dialysis equipment, watching the warm blood being drawn out, circulating through the body, and then being returned to his body in a cold state.

"Auntie, please have a seat."

Shen Xin politely pushed the chair back, and then began to chat casually.

Naturally, we must talk about Guo Jinhua's illness.

Because of dialysis, he had large, alarming lumps on his arm.

As for the condition, it continues to worsen.

When discussing treatment options, Shen Xin tentatively mentioned a kidney transplant.

When this was mentioned, Guo Jinhua looked resistant, but Tao Yiping started wiping away tears.

"We want to donate to him."

Tao Yiping sniffed and said, "We only have one son. We would be willing to give him both kidneys, let alone one."

"But he doesn't want to."

Tao Yiping couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Guo Jinhua stared wide-eyed, trying hard to make his point clear: "What's the use of donating? It won't cure you, you'll still die anyway."

He spoke quickly.

Shen Xin quickly advised him not to get agitated.

Shen Xin had consulted his attending physician about his condition.

I learned that his parents had actually secretly done the matching process and were matched with all of them.

After all, they are their biological parents, so the chances are very high.

However, Guo Jinhua himself was unwilling to undergo a kidney transplant, and he had many reasons for this.

For example, the cost of surgery is high.

Secondly, even if a kidney transplant is performed, it only improves the quality of life and does not mean that it can be completely cured.

He also needs to take anti-rejection drugs for life, which will lower his immunity. In his case, with his immunity down, other diseases may break out.

Moreover, the risks of kidney transplant surgery are high for elderly parents.

“I already said, you can live for another twenty years, so donate to me. I won’t live for another ten years, so what’s the point of donating?” Guo Jinhua stared, spitting out each word clearly.

You can tell he is very filial and doesn't want his parents to make such a big sacrifice for him.

In other words, he had a strong desire to die.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have brought this up." Shen Xin quickly apologized, and then added, "Guo Jinhua, try to take it easy, there's still a long life ahead of you, try to think about the happy things."

"By the way, the reason we came here today is to tell you that there has been progress in your case. We are not far from the truth and are about to identify the murderer."

The moment they finished speaking, Shen Xin and Yang Zeran looked at Guo Jinhua almost simultaneously, observing the changes in his facial expression.

Shen Xin intentionally guided him, putting him in a state of heightened emotion.

At this moment, he was swayed by his emotions and his true feelings were revealed.

Then they suddenly attacked him, informing him that there was progress in the case and that they were about to identify the murderer.

If he wasn't the murderer, his surprise should have been followed by delight.

After all, his wife was dead, and he had fallen to such a state. He should hate, be extremely resentful of, the murderer.

But if he were the murderer, he might have shown an unnatural reaction at that moment.

For a moment, Guo Jinhua's expression was one of astonishment.

Then came the surprise. Instinctively, she looked up, eagerly gazing at Shen Xin, and opened her mouth to speak.

He already had difficulty speaking, and now, in his excitement, he opened his mouth and made several "ah ah ah" sounds, but couldn't actually say anything.

But the joy on his face was unmistakably genuine.

At this moment, Shen Xin suddenly wavered.

Could it be that I guessed wrong, and Guo Jinhua is simply a victim?
