It was seven o'clock when Lin Shuyue and Ye Xueyu left Ma Yanmin's house.
Ma Yanmin and her family of three followed closely behind. They had already confirmed with the hospital that they would go back and stay for a few more days, which Dr. Zhao welcomed very much.
He had reported Ma Yanmin's case to his superior last night. After work today, his superior gave Dr. Zhao an instruction to bring Ma Yanmin back for another examination, making sure to check her thoroughly inside and out, front and back.
Never allow a single mistake to be missed.
This matter is of great importance. If Ma Yanmin really died and this matter was exposed by the media, if they knew that the water she drank in the hospital was problematic and they couldn't detected it, what would they do if they blamed the hospital?
The doctor-patient relationship has become increasingly tense in the past two years. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?
Ye Xueyu went back to the bureau first. Lin Shuyue did not drive her own car. She took a taxi to take Ma Yanmin and the other two to the hospital, completed the hospitalization procedures, and followed them into the ward.
Lin Shuyue couldn't refuse the hospitality this morning, so she had breakfast at Ma Yanmin's home. When she brought water to Ma Yanmin, she put a life-saving pill into the cup.
This life-saving pill was bought by Lin Shuyue when the system mall was first opened. According to the product introduction in the mall, this life-saving pill can keep a person alive as long as there is a breath left.
Lin Shuyue hopes that Ma Yanmin can overcome this man-made disaster, and at least live a safe and peaceful life, though not a healthy one.
Doctor Zhao specifically went to find Lin Shuyue to learn about the situation. After learning that someone had poisoned Ma Yanmin with suspected heavy water this morning, his face turned pale and he hurriedly called the security department. Soon two security guards were specially dispatched.
Not long after Lin Shuyue was about to leave, she saw Jiang Zhou. She was wearing a hospital gown and was supported by Wu Dongyan as she moved into the ward where Ma Yanmin was.
Wu Dongyan and Jiang Zhou did not sleep last night, especially Jiang Zhou, who watched the surveillance all day. By now, his eyes were red, and he was thin, pale, and tired. If nothing else, he really looked like a patient.
Wu Dongyan first showed her and Jiang Zhou's ID cards to Ma Yanmin's family.
Ma Yanmin burst into tears. From last night till now, her mind was in a daze. She and Xu Zhenbo were just two ordinary people doing business honestly, but someone tried so hard to murder them!
It was like a dream. She was extremely glad that it was Lin Shuyue who came to interview her yesterday. What if it was someone else who was not as careful as her? If she hadn't discovered the problem with the water, she would definitely have died!
Who could have imagined that drinking water could one day cost a person's life?
Although Ma Yanmin was ready to die at any time, no one wanted to die! If they could live, who wouldn't want to live a hundred years?
She didn't expect that a policeman had protected them all night last night, and today two more policemen were protecting them and bringing them to the hospital.
At this moment, the family of three was both moved and proud.
Jiangzhou was lying in bed as a patient, while Lin Shuyue and Wu Dongyan went outside to talk.
Wu Dongyan did not sleep well last night. After taking the water taken from Ma Yanmin's house to the laboratory for testing this morning, she immediately went to check the homes of those people to whom Li Tiangong delivered water today.
Until this moment, he took a break and said, "The test results from the testing department are out. Those bottles of water are all heavy water."
Heavy water murders. In Lin Shuyue's previous life, there had been films about this both in China and abroad.
But generally speaking, very few people are killed using this method. The fundamental reason is that heavy water is too expensive and most people cannot afford it.
Lin Shuyue recalled that Li Tiangong was once a chemistry student: "Did he purify this heavy water himself?"
Wu Dongyan nodded and took a sip of the green tea she bought from the store in front of the hospital. She originally wanted to buy mineral water, but she really couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
"According to the news from the Luohu Police Station in Huicheng, Li Tiangong rented a reservoir on the mountain in 1990. The spring water he sold came from that reservoir. He built a relatively large building next to the reservoir. No one knows what he does there. But if nothing unexpected happens, it is his laboratory for purifying heavy water."
"Colleagues in Huicheng have already gone to check it out." Wu Dongyan took another sip of green tea. When one is extremely thirsty, drinking a sweet drink is simply a disaster. The more one drinks, the thirstier one becomes. "We followed that bastard all the way today. That bastard was very cautious. The water he sent was normal water, without even any lead content."
Wu Dongyan gritted her teeth. She had already experienced Li Tiangong's caution last night, but she was still irritated by his caution.
"Haven't we talked about this a long time ago? He is very patient. He spent three years planning to kill a person and rob a person's house. If he wasn't more careful, would he have the wealth he has now?"
Last night, Lin Shuyue and Ye Xueyu were at Ma Yanmin's house, but Wu Dongyan and others went to investigate the real estate under Li Tiangong's name.
The city of Shenzhen is developing very well now, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is changing with each passing day. If a city needs to develop into a modern international metropolis, it needs land for construction.
Some of the houses that Li Tiangong bought were demolished, and now he is rich. Not to mention his house in Huicheng, Ye Xueyu complained about him last night, he has four or five buildings for rent in Huicheng.
But even with so much money, Li Tiangong still does the same job of delivering water as before, and spends three years planning a life that he doesn't know whether it will succeed or not. This is no longer a simple attempt to make money.
This person is a psychopath, commonly known as a sick person!
"Have you investigated? He wouldn't just target Ma Yanmin, right?"
"No, he targeted two families at the same time. Ma Yanmin was one of them, and the other family was also from outside the area. The couple first came here to work as construction workers. After selling vegetables for ten years, they bought a house in the village. It's not big, only about 100 square meters, and it was a bungalow built in the 1970s or 1980s."
"The couple has a biological mother who is the most capable of mischief and loves to torment her son and daughter-in-law. Two or three years ago, she insisted that the water in Pengcheng stinks and that they should drink spring water. She is a strong person and her son and daughter-in-law dare not disobey her. She monopolized the spring water ordered from Li Tiangong and even refused to let her great-grandson drink it. But her son is filial."
"Li Tiangong gave her a chronic poison. I don't know what kind of poison it was. Anyway, she went to the hospital every day whenever she felt a little uncomfortable."
"The house his family bought with great difficulty has been sold to pay for her medical treatment. The tenant just transferred the house a few days ago, and bought it at 20,000 yuan below the market price. Last night I called my friend in the Planning Bureau, and she said that the village was going to be demolished."
Last night, when Wu Dongyan saw that Li Tiangong had a house that had just been transferred to him and it was a house in the countryside, she felt something was wrong. Thinking of the demolition compensation that Li Tiangong had eaten, she asked her friend with the mentality of giving it a try, and it turned out to be just as she expected!
After tasting the sweetness of house demolition, Li Tiangong no longer looks down on ordinary houses. Only houses that are about to be demolished can catch his eye.
Lin Shuyue glanced into the ward and asked: "Is Jin Shengyuan Community also going to be demolished?"
"Yes, they say that a foreign-funded enterprise wants to build a foreign language school there, and it's already going through the approval process."
After Wu Dongyan said this, Lin Shuyue understood. No wonder Li Tiangong had been planning for three years, but couldn't even wait for a month to give Ma Yanmin heavy water. It turned out that Jinshengyuan Community was already in the process of demolition, and he was afraid that he would not be able to enjoy this wave of dividends if he was late, so he couldn't wait.
"Then are most of the original owners of his houses still alive?" Lin Shuyue asked again.
Wu Dongyan shook her head. "Not many. Apart from that old lady who was so naughty, there were only five or six. Most of those who were still alive were just like that old lady, naughty and unreasonable. They helped him ruin his family."
Wu Dongyan had reason to suspect that the reason these people were still alive was because of their actions. After all, no matter how to put it, what they did helped him and accelerated the time for him to buy a house.
"Are they all from outside the area?"
"Yes, they are all outsiders who came to Pengcheng to work. They don't have any roots and their interpersonal relationships are simple. When something happens, the neighbors around them just sigh that they have bad luck and won't pursue anything else."
Lin Shuyue had already guessed that only if he was an outsider with no roots, what Li Tiangong did would not be exposed.
The situation was almost understood, and the next step was to arrest Li Tiangong, which she could not intervene in. She only needed to make public the evil deeds he had done after the police were sure to catch Li Tiangong.
Lin Shuyue washed her face downstairs and went straight back to the newspaper office. There she saw Li Weisheng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Li Weisheng has grown darker and stronger. Ever since the two of them secretly visited the Taishida Rice Noodle Factory together, a revolutionary friendship has been formed between them.
Li Weisheng was no longer as arrogant in front of Lin Shuyue. Sometimes when he didn't go home at noon, Lin Shuyue would still have lunch with him and Li Mingfang.
When Lin Shuyue saw him, she teased him: "Ah Sheng, where are you from? Why are you so dark?"
Li Weisheng looked at Lin Shuyue and sighed: "I was taken away for training."
Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows: "Who caught you?"
Ever since Lin Shuyue made her secret visit to the gate of the vocational school, she has had less contact with Li Weisheng. At first, she could still contact him, but later there was no news. If she hadn't asked Huang Qiang and knew that Li Weisheng was safe, Lin Shuyue would have thought that Li Weisheng was kidnapped and assassinated.
Li Weisheng felt even worse. "Didn't I go to that martial arts gym with you to learn martial arts? I paid the money, but the martial arts teacher named Jiang Xinxin felt that she couldn't teach me well, so she introduced me to her senior brother. His senior brother opened a martial arts gym over at Hengzhen Film and Television City. He also guest-starred as a martial arts instructor in film and television dramas. He has seven or eight instructors under him, and they all let me practice alone."
Li Weisheng said this with a look of grief and indignation: "I feel like I am not even an apprentice of their martial arts school, but their toy."
Li Weisheng talked about his miserable experience during this period like the Yellow River, "I got up at six in the morning, ran ten kilometers, and came back at eight o'clock. I had no time to rest before I started fighting training. This fighting training means they train, and I serve as a sandbag for them."
"After lunch, I sleep for an hour and a half. When I get up, I either go up the mountain for training or roll in the mud in the martial arts school." Li Weisheng was about to cry.
He had been in that martial arts school for half a month, and there were six or seven instructors! There wasn't even a single apprentice under him, and he was left to practice all by himself. He was almost ruined.
When Lin Shuyue heard this, she knew that this was formal military training. It was completely different from those Internet addiction schools that used the guise of military training to abuse people.
"Congratulations on experiencing military life." Lin Shuyue's words were particularly perfunctory.
Li Weisheng just felt that people could not share the same joys and sorrows. Since he came back last night, whenever he complained to his family or relatives and friends, he only received the same comfort as Lin Shuyue.
He felt sad.
Huang Qiang came back and told Lin Shuyue about yesterday's court hearing on Lin Jianxin's trial.
Lin Jianxin was sentenced to life imprisonment and all his property was confiscated; Zhang Zhenfa was sentenced to death.
Lin Shuyue was not satisfied with the verdict. She was mainly dissatisfied with Lin Jianxin's sentence. How many people had his gang oppressed? Her family had suffered so much because of him. People like him were wasting their lives!
Lin Shuyue decided that when she got home, she would stuff Lin Jianxin into the realm of reincarnation to let him experience what he had done before.
Huang Qiang could understand her unhappiness, so he changed the subject: "Ah Yue, how was your interview with that cancer-stricken couple?"
Huang Qiang's daughter likes to eat their food before. She fell in love with the wolf tooth potatoes made by Ma Yanmin after eating them once. She eats them from time to time. Huang Qiang has only this one daughter and he dotes on her. Since she likes to eat it, he will often buy it for her even if he has to travel across half the city. It has been a few years and his daughter has grown up.
After learning that Ma Yanmin had cancer and her husband had sold his house and shop to treat her but was still unable to do anything, Huang Qiang decided to interview them. As soon as he proposed the interview, Ma Yanmin agreed. But when the agreed interview time came, Huang Qiang discovered that it coincided with Lin Jianxin's court trial date.
Lin Shuyue was not a stranger to him, so he just gave it to her.
Lin Shuyue didn't come to the newspaper office yesterday, and Huang Qiang didn't ask about her progress. Now that everyone was there, he just asked casually.
"Master, this is a big incident. This is not a simple story of a couple with cancer. This is a case of poisoning!"
Lin Shuyue's words shocked Huang Qiang: "What the hell?"
She was shocked by Huang Qiang's non-standard Northeastern accent.
Just as Lin Shuyue was about to explain in detail, her phone dinged and a text message came in. Lin Shuyue opened it and saw: "The person who poisoned has been caught. Shall we go check it out together?"
"Let's go, let's go." Huang Qiang couldn't wait any longer, and Li Weisheng also stood up. He wanted to go too. Huang Qiang and Lin Shuyue shouldn't think of leaving him behind!
The three of them had just taken a few steps when they were stopped by Wang Mingzheng.
"Xiao Lin, our Pengcheng Legal Channel has teamed up with the City Women's Federation to produce a documentary about interviewing serious criminals. The Pengcheng News Department gave this opportunity to our newspaper, and they specifically asked you to go."
"You should prepare, it should be in the next two days."
