I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 142: The mentor's phone call, police interrogation, and a terrible social impact!
"Hey, teacher, I'm going back to school tomorrow."

Zhang Lingchuan really didn't expect his teacher to call.

I remember I already told my teacher about it on WeChat.

The other party also replied with the word "okay".

What's with calling again now?

Is there something else you need to tell me?
"I know, I know, Lingchuan. I called mainly to ask if it's too late for you to arrive at 9:30 tomorrow night. I happen to be picking you up from the airport at 9:30, so how about I pick you up too? What do you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Changming asked in a gentle tone with a smiling expression.

Beside him was a sharp gaze.

Yes, it was Ms. Huang holding the spatula.

A national emergency medical expert, enjoying special allowances from the State Council.

"Oh, so you're picking up a friend, teacher... But flights are often delayed... Sometimes it might not even arrive by 10 o'clock. I'll just take a taxi home myself, so please don't trouble yourself."

Zhang Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his teacher was just picking up a friend and giving him a ride.

He almost thought his teacher knew he was participating in the veterinary competition livestream.

However, based on his understanding of Lao Shen, he knew that Lao Shen would definitely ask if he knew that Lao Shen was participating in this competition.

Since no one has asked for so long, it's probably because they don't know yet.

So he still has time to make things up, and it's not like he'll face a hellish start as soon as he gets back.

However, Zhang Lingchuan was unaware that Shen Changming's phone call on the very first night after learning about this was intended to inquire about it.

However, his performance was extraordinary, so Shen Changming decided to play the long game and reel him in when he returned.

"I see... That's a bit of a shame."

The tone on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat helpless.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I will definitely do my best on my graduation thesis this time and strive for an excellent grade!"

Zhang Lingchuan immediately replied seriously.

He was originally thinking of replying: "It's no pity, it's no pity. If it really doesn't work out, Lao Shen, you can just reimburse my train ticket later."

But after thinking about it, I think it's better to give a more serious reply.

It's mainly because of my relationship with Lao Shen. We're familiar with each other, but not as comfortable as I am with Lao Zhang.

"Your graduation thesis is a small matter. Alright, since the timing doesn't match, let's meet at school."

At that moment, Shen Changming said one sentence.

"Okay, goodbye teacher."

"OK, bye."

The phone hangs up.

"Shen Changming—you did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

Shen Changming had just hung up the phone when Ms. Huang next to him started making a ruckus, grabbing a spatula!

“My dear wife! This wasn’t intentional at all! Look, this kid himself said his flight was delayed and refused to let us pick him up from the airport, what could I do?!”

Shen Changming poured out his grievances with a helpless expression.

Yes, he was being blackmailed.

Normally, we should have met on the 2nd, since Lingchuan came from Lingnan on the 1st.

Unexpectedly, his wife decided to take the initiative and said she had to pick him up from the airport.

So he was forced to make the call.

Fortunately, Lingchuan is an outstanding young man, and he rejected the offer!
They are truly my good students.

Otherwise, if my wife goes to the airport with me to pick me up, I don't know what might happen on the way back.

So how did a trip back to the South for just over a month become such a hot commodity?

They want this, they want that, and they even resort to outright robbery!
That's outrageous!!
"You clearly said you'd just pick him up from the airport, so why go through the extra trouble of saying you'd pick him up while you're at it? Shen Changming, don't think I don't know what you're up to!!"

Ms. Huang glared at Shen Changming.

He brandished the spatula in his hand, making a wild, aggressive motion.

"My dear, you've really misunderstood me. Think about it, if I said I was picking someone up, then it makes perfect sense for you to be in the car, doesn't it?"

Shen Changming remained calm and collected, having already devised a countermeasure.

"Then why can't I go with you?"

Ms. Huang countered the questioning with a counter-argument.

"Of course not. Think about it, if the professor and his wife come to the airport to pick him up, what will the kid think? Something's not right! Why would the professor and his wife come all the way to pick him up? Won't he feel pressured? Right?"

Back and forth they went, the old couple exchanging blows, but in the end Old Shen was the one who came out on top.

But Ms. Huang still gave him a firm order.

That means I have to see her before I can see my father!
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
Xiagou Village, Qingxian County, Lingnan.

Zhang Lingchuan, of course, had no idea that his mentor was now caught in the middle.

Because after hanging up the phone, he was trying to persuade his parents.

"Nonsense, why would I go to your gathering with the media convergence center?"

Comrade Xu Xiaoying spoke with a completely annoyed expression.

"Forget it, you can go by yourself, your mom and I will stay home."

He had originally planned to bring his parents along for dinner tonight.

After all, Comrade Zhang Zhenghai has been driving for so many days, and everyone is quite familiar with him.

Comrade Xu Xiaoying is home alone, and cooking is troublesome for her, so let's go out and have another meal together.

To everyone's surprise, Comrade Xu Xiaoying turned out to be the most difficult to overcome.

They immediately refused after I brought it up.

Then Lao Zhang's lines also collapsed.

He indicated that he had dinner at home with Comrade Xu Xiaoying.

"Boss Zhang, what are you doing all this time?"

Zhang Lingchuan gave Comrade Zhang Zhenghai a disgruntled look.

My dad is really something.

At a time like this, they still caused trouble in his own backyard.

"I'm really not going. Besides, this is your dinner to thank Teacher Chen and the others. What would it look like if I, who just walked in halfway, went? And besides, do you think I could leave your mother alone at home? The dinner is already cooked!"

Old Zhang pointed to the rice in the rice cooker.

At first, when his son tried to persuade him, he didn't think much of it; it was just one meal.

Now that his wife isn't going, he's too lazy to go and join the fun.

"Forehead……"

Zhang Lingchuan was completely disoriented.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and go. I've charged the tram for you. If you hear anything about that kid tonight, remember to let me know."

Old Zhang simply inserted the key into the tram.

Then he began to explain to Zhang Lingchuan.

He's quite concerned about the child now, but he doesn't know how the hospital check-up went.

"The one from Sankengtun? The test results are in; he has twelve steel needles stuck in his body."

Comrade Xiao Song called him earlier.

The hospital results are in, and they need a verification code to log in to their account so they can send out the edited video.

I wonder how many views it has now.

Zhang Lingchuan didn't have time to watch Douyin.

The image on the Douyin app has consistently shown a status of 999+ messages.

"Ah! They're out! There really were twelve steel needles stuck in their skin! What a tragedy! Have they found the murderer? Was it the child's grandmother?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang's face turned bright red at a visible speed.

The news shocked him to the point of shattering his worldview.

I don't know if the murderer has been caught yet.

Is she the child's grandmother?

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by giving a child a needle?"

After hearing this, Comrade Xu Xiaoying asked with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's hard to say. Today we went to Jiuqu Sankeng, and there was a ten-month-old baby who kept crying day and night. He was very noisy."

"Isn't that the same as when he was a child?"

Xu Xiaoying glanced at Zhang Lingchuan.

"Forehead……"

Zhang Lingchuan was speechless.

I never expected that Comrade Xu Xiaoying would connect this matter to her own.

She's such a good mom!

"No, although this kid was mischievous when he was little, he was nothing compared to that other kid, who cried until his voice was hoarse. So we had this kid take a look, and guess what?"

Old Zhang paused here and looked at his wife.

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Just tell me! What is it?!"

Old Zhang, who had left a hook to pique his wife's interest and was preparing to slowly explain things to her, got punched instead...

"This kid's conclusion was that he was pricked by a steel needle!"

"I've been stabbed by a steel needle!!!"

As soon as Lao Zhang finished speaking, Xu Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah, I thought the kid had made a mistake at first, but I never expected the hospital test results to show that he had twelve steel needles stuck in his body!!"

……

The two old people were having a great time chatting.

"I'm leaving now, Mom and Dad."

Zhang Lingchuan drove off in his electric scooter.

"Don't panic. Has the murderer been caught yet? Is it really the child's grandmother?"

At that moment, Comrade Xu Xiaoying asked the same question.

Because her husband recounted almost everything that happened today.

She learned that her child had a grandmother who pretended to be a shaman and did all sorts of superstitious things, and she wanted to know if it was really her grandmother who did it.

"I don't know, let's wait for the police to release their report! Or you can try searching on Douyin."

Zhang Lingchuan left a message and then disappeared.

After all, he wasn't a policeman, and he wasn't from the same village as the person involved, so how would he know who it was?

But without a doubt, Grandma is the prime suspect.

Sankeng Village, Jiuqu Township. It was 5:30 PM.

But the whole village was bustling with activity because two police cars were parked at the village entrance.

Three or four policemen came down.

Everyone started discussing it.

"That veterinarian Zhang is truly amazing! Sigh, I should have had him take a look at me today!"

"My God, who is so heartless as to not even spare a ten-month-old baby?"

"Who else could it be? Lianying, of course. She's a bit eccentric, but I never realized she was so wicked! She could even harm her own granddaughter!!"

"Who else could it be but her? Don't you all remember when Ah Shuang came down to leave and we wouldn't let her go? I felt something was fishy back then. After all, who doesn't bring their baby out to see the world after ten months of childbirth, and then talk about family fortune?!"

"Fengzhen, Lianying is your neighbor next door, and also your sister-in-law. Don't you usually feel that this person is a bit strange?"

"Fengzhen??"

Village entrance.

Of course, there's the intelligence team that everyone is most familiar with.

When they saw the police arrive, they all started chatting.

In the village, everyone naturally learned that ten-month-old Lu Yunyun's body was covered in steel needles.

Everyone was utterly shocked and furious!

And now everyone is suspecting the child's grandmother, Mo Lianying.

After all, she was the most superstitious person in the village.

Now that their first child is a girl, it's not impossible for them to use this unorthodox method to have a boy.

Then everyone turned to Fengzhen, who lived next door to Mo Lianying and was also at the village entrance, and asked her about her.

In fact, the other party is Mo Fengzhen's cousin.

The two cousins ​​married Mo Lianying's husband, the Lu brothers.

Therefore, Mo Lianying is both the elder sister-in-law and the cousin.

Now both of their husbands have passed away.

But in terms of understanding, Hu Fengzhen undoubtedly understands the other party the most.

However, everyone is a little confused now, as Fengzhen seems to be in a daze.

"Huh? I don't know the specifics of that either."

Hu Fengzhen was speaking at this moment.

"Grandma, I'd like to ask where Lu Jinming's house is? Could you tell us where it is?"

Just at this time.

The lead policeman approached and asked him questions.

"Officer, we know where it is. Shall we just take you there?"

"It was said by an elderly woman with silver hair."

"Sure! Thank you for your help, Grandma."

The police officers immediately expressed their gratitude.

Several elderly women helped lead the way, including Hu Fengzhen.

"Officer, you're not here to investigate Yunyun's matter, are you?"

An old woman asked.

"Yes, we came down to investigate after receiving the report."

The sheriff leading the team nodded.

"Oh dear, this Yunyun is so pitiful. She cried constantly after giving birth and finishing her postpartum period. Her grandma even said she had bone spurs. It's all thanks to Veterinarian Zhang who came to our village, otherwise this child might not have survived one day!"

"I heard it was Jiayun. The child looked so pitiful, so I let Veterinarian Zhang take a look!"

"Sigh... I wonder how Jiayun is doing, whether she has a snake around her waist."

"Definitely. They can even spot a steel needle; how could it be a snake coiled around the waist?"

The old ladies are quite talkative right now.

They walked and talked.

"Officer, are you arresting the child's grandmother now?"

At that moment, Hu Fengzhen began questioning the police.

"How could that be? Everything requires evidence. Right now, the child's grandmother is just someone we need to understand what happened. If we confirm that she did it, then we will make an arrest."

The police chief leading the group, named Li Ming, spoke at this moment.

"oh oh……"

Hu Fengzhen nodded.

Soon we arrived at the ridge.

There are only four families in the entire ridge.

The first house is Hu Fengzhen's house, next door is Mo Lianying's house, behind which is Grandma Hong Jiayun's house, and a little further to the left is another house.

I passed by Hu Fengzhen's house.

Then a group of people arrived at Mo Lianying's house.

The television was on, and Mo Lianying was watching it, but her gaze seemed to wander, not quite on the screen.

"Officers, you go ahead, we'll chat here."

The old ladies were quite shrewd.

They left immediately after bringing the person up.

"Okay! Thank you for your help, grandma."

Li Ming expressed his gratitude.

Soon, the group of elderly women sat down in front of Hu Fengzhen's house.

Then they all perked up their ears.

"Hello, are you Ms. Mo Lianying, Yunyun's grandmother?"

Li Ming led three policemen into the house.

"I'm."

Mo Lianying was still watching TV.

But right now, I'm really nervous.

The child called home; the granddaughter's body wasn't covered in bone spurs, but in steel needles.

And there were a full twelve of them.

Even now, the county hospital doesn't dare to perform the surgery, and the patient has been transferred directly to Zhongshan Hospital in the provincial capital.

She is now clearly the prime suspect.

But I really didn't stick any steel needles into my granddaughter.

After all, this is such a heinous thing!!

"Hello, we received a report here and are here to understand the situation from you."

Li Ming looked at Mo Lianying.

The remaining police officers then conducted a thorough search of the house.

six o'clock.

“It’s out! It’s out!!”

The group of elderly women at the door suddenly looked at Li Ming and his group.

"Huh? Why did these police officers just leave on their own?"

They all asked questions with confusion.

"Let's go."

Then they chased after them.

After all, Lingtou isn't their home, so it's reasonable for them to go down there with them.

Of course, Hu Fengzhen followed along.

"Officer, aren't you going to arrest them?"

She asked curiously.

"Grandma, arresting people requires evidence. We certainly can't arrest people arbitrarily without evidence right now. But the director is personally paying attention to this matter, which puts a lot of pressure on us. In addition, the media is calling us to demand that we solve the case. So I guess we'll have to bring in our best officers. We'll definitely get to the bottom of this and not let any bad guy get away with it."

Li Ming replied with a smile.

"I see. So, officer, what happens if someone is caught in a case like this?"

Hu Fengzhen asked another question.

"We are now filing a case for intentional homicide. The specific outcome will depend on the degree of social impact. If the social impact is very serious, life imprisonment or the death penalty are both possibilities."

Li Ming gave a casual reply.

After all, intentional homicide is a serious crime with a negative social impact and can result in the death penalty.

"The death penalty! That's so serious!!"

Hu Fengzhen was shocked!!
"Fengzhen, why are you so agitated? It's your sister-in-law who's being sentenced to death, not you."

Seeing how excited Hu Fengzhen was.

The old woman next to me said something rather irritating.

We soon arrived at the village entrance.

The police car drove away.

"Master, the child's grandmother is vehemently denying it, and it doesn't seem like a lie. But if it wasn't her, who is the murderer?!"

I just asked them in detail.

The grandmother who discovered the child has been denying it and insists that she absolutely did not do such a thing.

Furthermore, given that they have indeed failed to find any evidence, the case is undoubtedly at a standstill.

"No rush. We're only at the initial stage now. We'll work on it slowly and ask everyone who's been in contact with the child during this time. We're sure we'll find some clues."

Li Ming is a veteran criminal police officer himself.

The clues in this type of case are not complicated.

A breakthrough can be achieved as long as the breakthrough is found by focusing on people.

The car drove away.

And at this moment, there is the Hao Zai Lai restaurant.

"Teacher Chen, Awei, Xiaoyuan, and our Comrade Xiao Song, thank you all for your hard work over the past month. Please accept the red envelopes on the table."

Zhang Lingchuan gave each of them a large red envelope.

"Teacher Zhang, you're being too polite. I'm a staff member of the media center, so I can't accept red envelopes and make a mistake. If you really want to thank me, how about you take my pulse and prescribe some medicine to help with the pregnancy? I just want my baby to be born safely."
