Accidentally entered a high gate

Both the police chief and the head of the security section were demobilized soldiers. Those who could become police chiefs and security section heads after demobilization were not ordinary soldiers in the military.

After the police officer in charge of drawing the portrait drew it based on the old woman's description, he gave it to his chief.

The police chief looked familiar at first glance. Upon closer inspection, he looked even more familiar.

The police chief handed the sketch to the head of the security department. "Do you recognize this person? He looks familiar."

The head of the security department took a look. "I also think it looks familiar."

The police chief looked at him and felt he recognized him, so he said, "That should be this area..."

Before he could finish speaking, the head of the security department said, "I know why we both think he looks familiar. This man looks a lot like Chief Ma."

Police Chief: "..."

"This man bears a striking resemblance to Commander Ma."

Police Chief: "..."

"This person...this person is very likely Chief Ma's grandson."

The police chief tried to argue one last time. "How could Chief Ma's grandson possibly be here?"

The head of the security department wanted to agree. However, "Chief Ma's eldest daughter, Dr. Ma Lilan from the military hospital, is ill, and very seriously ill."

"Don't our hospital and the military hospital have a collaboration? After Dr. Ma fell ill, the military hospital even asked one of our doctors to take a look, but unfortunately, our doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with Dr. Ma either."

"I heard from people at our hospital that if they can't find the cause, Dr. Ma can only last a week at most."

Police Chief: "..." If that's the case, it's not impossible that Chief Ma's grandson is here. "Neither your hospital's doctors nor the military hospital's doctors can find the cause of the illness?"

"Um."

The police chief thought for a moment, then leaned close to the head of the security department and whispered, "If Dr. Ma's illness is related to him, then the Ma family has truly rid the people of a scourge. If Dr. Ma's illness isn't related to him, then the Ma family has no reason to kill him. Besides, if the Ma family wanted to kill him, why would they need their own child to do it?"

The head of the security department thought about the old man's past identity, and then he thought about how, even if everyone at the military hospital and their own hospital combined, they didn't know why Ma Lilan was unconscious...

"You're right. If Dr. Ma's illness is really related to him, then we could all become the next Dr. Ma."

"Hmm. Did Dr. Ma criticize him?"

"No. Dr. Ma comes to our hospital either to treat difficult cases or to discuss medical techniques with our doctors. We don't have time to deal with him. I'm sure Dr. Ma doesn't even know that there's such a person in our hospital."

"Have you spoken to Dr. Ma?"

"I did say that."

"Then I'll buy you some things. Go see Dr. Ma. While you're at it, ask if her nephew has come to see her. If he has, did he go to your hospital morgue? If not, that's fine. If he did, ask him if he went to the wrong place."

"I can buy it myself. I remember seeing him being dismissive when family members asked him questions, so I gave him a lecture. I still get scared thinking about it now."

"This is just my guess."

"I think you guessed right. Dr. Ma was so energetic when he came to our hospital to treat some difficult cases a while ago. But he fell ill a few days later. And the illness was completely inexplicable."

The head of the security department became increasingly frightened as he spoke. "I need to buy Dr. Ma more things."

As soon as the department store opened, the head of the security department went to buy things.

On the other side, after waking up, Little Bowl stretched and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, your little one has had enough sleep."

Ma Lilan: "..." Her little niece is so adorable! And, just like her mother and her two sisters-in-law said, she's both beautiful and spirited. Her brother also sent her photos, but the children in those photos aren't as lively as the children around her. "Your dad went to buy you meat buns. I'm your aunt."

Little Wanwan paused for a moment, then got up and kissed Ma Lilan. "Hello, Auntie! Auntie, you've had a good sleep too?"

"Yes. Auntie has had enough sleep too. But Auntie can't move yet. We'll hold you when Auntie can move, okay?"

"Okay." Little Bowl kissed her again. "Auntie, do you want to hear a story?"

"listen."

"Then let me tell you a story."

"it is good."

……

When Ma Lifeng returned with steamed buns and millet porridge, Xiaowanwan had already told Ma Lilan two stories. "Dad, aren't I amazing?"

"Great job! Here's a big meat bun for you."

"Thank you, Dad."

……

After finishing his meal, Ma Lifeng took the opportunity while brushing his teeth at his lodgings to look at Xiao Wanwan and ask, "Can you tell when your aunt will be able to move?"

"I couldn't tell. If you want my aunt to get better soon, carry her on your back and climb Mount Tai."

"Okay." Ma Lifeng said while squeezing toothpaste, "After the police contact me, I'll sneak your aunt out to climb Mount Tai. Have you ever climbed Mount Tai?"

"I climbed over there. I should have disguised myself back then."

"Your Uncle Zhao is with us. Also, solving cases requires evidence."

That's true. "When did they come looking for us?"

"These past few days, haven't you? Your dad has grown quite handsome."

Little Bowl: "..." Being handsome is indeed not suitable for doing bad things.

After brushing their teeth, the father and daughter went back to the hospital to be with Ma Lilan.

Just as Ma Lilan was about to ask Ma Lifeng how many days off he had taken, there was a knock at the door. "Come in."

A young nurse pushed open the door and came in. "Vice President, it's Director Wu from the Security Department of the People's Hospital who's here to see you. Are you available now?"

Ma Lilan was surprised to hear this. "Chief Wu of the Security Department at the People's Hospital?"

"Um."

"It's convenient. Please let him in."

"it is good."

A moment later, Section Chief Wu came in.

Ma Lilan was even more surprised to see him carrying so many things. She had only exchanged a few words with Section Chief Wu.

Section Chief Wu was also surprised. "You're awake?"

"Okay. Please sit down."

"it is good."

"Did your dean send you?"

"No. I came here for two reasons. First, to visit you. Second, to express my gratitude... um... and third, because I heard your nephew is here and I'd like to learn from him. I've heard a lot about your nephew before."

Ma Lilan was about to say that her nephew hadn't come when she realized, "He's not my nephew, he's my brother."

Section Chief Wu: "..." The age difference between you two siblings is too much! "Oh, you're the younger brother. Hello!"

As he spoke, Section Chief Wu raised his right hand and extended it toward Ma Lifeng.

Ma Lifeng shook hands with him. "Hello!"

Section Chief Wu sat for a while and then said he had to go back to work.

Ma Lilan told him to take the things back, but he refused to take them no matter what.

Ma Lilan couldn't force him to take it back. "Lifeng, see Section Chief Wu off for me."

"it is good."

After leaving the ward, Section Chief Wu looked at Ma Lifeng and whispered, "The person in charge of the morgue at our hospital was shot in the head last night. An older woman at our hospital said she saw you go to the morgue. Could she have been mistaken?"

"She didn't see wrong."

Section Chief Wu: "..."

"You wouldn't suspect me of killing him just because I went to your hospital morgue, would you? Why would I kill him? I had no grudge against him. Besides, if I wanted to kill him, wouldn't I at least have to pretend?"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Wu quickly said, "We don't suspect you. We just wanted to ask why you went to our hospital morgue. You must have come to the wrong place."

"No. I just want to find a place to cry. I thought my older sister wouldn't make it."

Section Chief Wu: "..."
