Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1397: Finding doubts
Jiang Qiyong said, "They are rebellious. They came to our Jeju for archaeological excavation and asked us to contribute money and manpower, and we had no objection. Why can't we ask them for help? If they are unwilling to help us with this matter, don't expect us to cooperate in the future."

A bystander sees things clearly. Yang Wenguo saw clearly that Xu Chunliang successfully provoked Jiang Qiyong's anger with just a few words. However, Jiang Qiyong had the confidence to say this. If the joint archaeological team really did not help, then their archaeological work would definitely encounter many obstacles in the future.

Xu Chunliang stood up to say goodbye, and this time Jiang Qiyong did not keep him.

After Xu Chunliang left, Yang Wenguo said, "Director Jiang, forgive me for being blunt, this is a big deal, you have to be fully prepared mentally."

Jiang Qiyong said: "Director Yang, don't worry. If you need our cooperation, we will do our best. Jeju Tourism is not a place where filth and dirt are hidden. I also believe that there are more than just Zhang Yucheng involved. There must be other people involved."

Yang Wenguo said, "After Zhang Yucheng's death, many clues were lost. Although the anonymous report letter you just gave me listed names, it did not contain any evidence. When we police investigate cases, the most important thing is evidence. Whether it is personal or physical evidence, it must be solid and can withstand scrutiny."

Jiang Qiyong nodded repeatedly and said, "So this is why I didn't give this letter to the disciplinary inspection department."

Yang Wenguo said: "I hope it's just Zhang Yucheng who has the problem, otherwise the impact will be huge."

Xu Chunliang contacted Pu Jian and learned that he and his apprentice Huang Wanglin were drinking tea in Renhe Hall, and Xiahou Mulan was also there.

Xu Chunliang was quite surprised that Xiahou Mulan came without saying hello to him this time. He guessed that she came here for him and also to discuss the matters of the Pimen with Huang Wanglin.

Xu Chunliang glanced at the messages and saw several unread messages, including one from Pu Jian, one from Zhao Hong, and one from Xiahou Mulan.

More than an hour ago, Xiahou Mulan sent him a hug emoticon, but he was so busy with work today that he didn't have time to read it.

Xu Chunliang belatedly responded with a kiss, and Xiahou Mulan quickly responded, "Are you done? I'm waiting for you."

Xu Chunliang said he would be there soon, and when he was about to leave, he saw Zhao Hong driving over in a car from the Water Security Management Brigade.

Zhao Hong rolled down the window and said, "Director Xu, I was looking for you."

Xu Chunliang then remembered that he had also sent him a message, and he was so busy replying to Xia Hou Mulan that he forgot about him. Of course, Xu Chunliang couldn't say that he didn't see it, so he smiled and said, "I was just about to call you."

Zhao Hong said: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Xu Chunliang's car was still at the police station and he hadn't had time to get it yet. He nodded, opened the door and got in.

Zhao Hong drove the car out of the gate and said, "Some things are inconvenient to say over the phone, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to see you."

Xu Chunliang felt secretly ashamed, and still had no idea why he was looking for him, so he asked Zhao Hong to take him to Renhetang first.

Zhao Hong said as he drove: "We were the first to find Zhang Yucheng's body."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I know. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this bad luck right after you arrived."

Zhao Hong said: "We are police officers and are used to this kind of thing. We have nothing to worry about. I came to talk to you."

Xu Chunliang probably thought it was a very important matter, otherwise he would have told me on the phone earlier and he wouldn't have come all the way here specially.

Zhao Hongdao: "Zhang Yucheng must have been beaten before his death. I found several scars on his body."

Xu Chunliang frowned. He had always been suspicious about the cause of Zhang Yucheng's death. He thought that Zhang Yucheng was most likely framed and silenced by someone. First there was the anonymous letter, and then he heard what Zhao Hong said, which made him feel more and more that Zhang Yucheng might have been killed.

Xu Chunliang asked: "Have you told the police?"

Zhao Hongdao: "I told them that their attitude was rather perfunctory. They might think I am unprofessional or that I am over-involved. There is no need for them to explain these things to me."

Xu Chunliang asked: "Is there any evidence?"

Zhao Hong said: "After I found the body, I took a few photos right away. I wanted to provide them to them, but they took over the case after they arrived and asked the forensic doctor to do the identification. I was rejected by the forensic doctor, so I didn't try to get involved."

Xu Chunliang asked Zhao Hong to send the photos to him.

Zhao Hong said, "I didn't want to get involved, but now there are so many rumors out there, most of which say the deceased committed suicide out of fear of punishment. I have a different view. The most worrying thing about handling a case is going in the wrong direction. If you go in the wrong direction at the beginning, you will only go further and further away. I'm an outsider, not a criminal police officer, but after thinking it over, I still want to tell you."

Xu Chunliang said: "Okay, I'll go back and ask the police officer who's handling the case about the situation."

Zhao Hong sent Xu Chunliang to Renhetang. Xu Chunliang invited him in, but Zhao Hong did not get out of the car. Recently, the Water Security Management Brigade was helping the police investigate the circumstances of Zhang Yucheng's drowning on the night, and he really could not get away.

Xu Chunliang went around to the backyard of Renhe Hall. The small door was open. Xiahou Mulan and her apprentice Huang Wanglin were drinking tea in the teahouse in the backyard.

Xiahou Mulan waved to him through the French window.

Xu Chunliang pushed the door open and entered the warm tea room. He smiled and said, "I hadn't been here for a while and didn't realize the backyard had been transformed into this."

Xiahou Mulan asked, "Is it comfortable to be a hands-off shopkeeper?"

Xu Chunliang said, "It's all thanks to Miss Mulan's care." Pu Jian said, "Stop pretending, don't you two know what your relationship is?"

Huang Wanglin glared at Pu Jian, obviously blaming him for being rude to the sect leader. Pu Jian also realized that he had said something wrong and he really shouldn't joke with Xiahou Mulan in front of his master.

Xu Chunliang said: "Ms. Mulan is a business genius. It is my blessing to be able to work with her."

He sat down next to Huang Wanglin, and Xiahou Mulan took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea.

Huang Wanglin could see the close relationship between the two, but it was not his turn to intervene in such matters. He whispered, "Is there a solution to the museum issue?"

Xu Chunliang said: "The superiors attach great importance to this matter and asked me to take the lead to thoroughly investigate the museum's counterfeit incident. This is a letter of appointment for you. Please be sure to help us."

Huang Wanglin said, "I hate this kind of behavior of stealing and using power for personal gain. He has fooled many ordinary people with fake cultural relics. I will help you with this, but the Jeju Museum is a national second-level museum with a lot of collections. I'm afraid it's not enough for the two of us, master and apprentice, right?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I've thought about this." He told Huang Wanglin about the Jeju Culture and Tourism Bureau's request for help from the joint archaeological team. Huang Wanglin nodded. With the help of the experts from the joint archaeological team, things became much easier.

Pu Jian said: "Director Xu, our public affairs are public and private affairs are private. Master is not easy to say, but I can't not say it. We can't work in vain."

Huang Wanglin asked, "Pu Jian, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "That's not nonsense. I certainly can't let you work for nothing. The living and working conditions are provided according to the highest standards, and the labor fee is calculated separately. By the way, if you have other requirements, I can also help you apply for them."

Pu Jian smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

Huang Wanglin said: "We don't have any special requirements."

Xu Chunliang said, "Third Master, you don't have any request or you just can't remember to ask for it. So, let me help you think of one. After this is done, we at Jeju Culture and Tourism will hire you as our senior cultural consultant. Your main job is to help us guide and supervise the archaeological work of the underwater sunken city."

Huang Wanglin's eyes lit up when he heard this. What interested him most in his life was collecting. Although he was not an archaeologist, he would certainly like to witness it with his own eyes if he had the opportunity.

Pu Jian laughed and said, "Chunliang, ah Chunliang, you know exactly what my master likes, and you went around in circles and dug a trap for my master to jump into."

Huang Wanglin said, "I am happy with it. OK, it is settled."

Xu Chunliang suggested that Huang Wanglin take a good rest first, but Huang Wanglin decided to start working as soon as possible. After drinking a few cups of tea, he called Pu Jian to go to the museum to start the appraisal work immediately. He did not have high requirements for accommodation and asked Xu Chunliang to arrange accommodation nearby, as long as it was clean.

After the master and his apprentice left, Xu Chunliang sighed, "The Third Master is still strong despite his age."

Xiahou Mulan said: "He told me that he is no longer able to do it and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility."

Xu Chunliang laughed out loud.

Xiahou Mulan spat, "What's so funny? I had hoped that he would work for a few more years. Another reason he came here this time was to resolutely resign from his position as elder."

Xu Chunliang said: "Since Mr. Huang San is not interested in this, you should let him go."

Xiahou Mulan said, "It's only you who asked, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed so easily." She sighed softly and said, "The main reason is that the talents in the sect are dwindling, and there is really no one available."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "It's not that there is no one available, but there are too few people you can trust. Didn't someone recommend Liang Wenjing to you?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "She must have put in a lot of effort. Many people recommended her to me."

Xu Chunliang asked: "What are your plans?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "I will listen to you."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "If people in the sect hear you saying this, they will say that you are my puppet and I am the one in power."

Xiahou Mulan said: "If you are willing, I can give you the position of the sect leader now."

Xu Chunliang knew what she meant, so he grabbed her hand and whispered, "Let's stay at the old house tonight."

Xiahou Mulan's pretty face flushed and she whispered, "I didn't come here for this matter."

Xu Chunliang said: "Diligence makes you proficient, while laziness makes you lose. Without my encouragement, when will you be able to reach the Xiantian realm?"

Xiahou Mulan spat, "Shame on you."

At this time, Lin Hong, the person in charge of Renhetang, came over, and Xiahou Mulan hurriedly pulled her hand out.

Lin Hong only recently found out that Xu Chunliang was her boss. She knocked on the door and only entered the tea room after getting permission.
