Chapter 120 Unexpectedly
Early the next morning, Cheng Feng drove to pick up Jiayi, and the two went straight to City A.

Recently, the cold snap hit and the temperature plummeted. Jiayi's body was cold and she had already dressed herself like a ball. Cheng Feng's car was also blowing warm air, but she still felt cold hands and feet.

"Open the drawer in front of you, there are your things." Cheng Feng was driving on the highway, and caught a glimpse of Jiayi rubbing his hands.

Jiayi was puzzled, she never had the habit of misplacing things in other people's cars, not to mention she had never opened the drawer of Cheng Feng's car, but since people said so, she opened it and took a look.

As soon as the drawer was opened, she saw a travel thermos. She took it out, unscrewed it, and a warm sweet fragrance wafted out. It turned out to be a pot full of hot milk tea.

"How do you know that I'm afraid of the cold?" Jia Yi took a sip from the thermos with both hands, the sweet hot milk tea warmed him up.

"Only your hands are always cold, it's hard not to notice." Cheng Feng said nonchalantly.

"Yo? Have you compared?" Jiayi asked Cheng Feng sourly, not noticing how ambiguous the relationship between the two of them was made by his question.

Cheng Feng chuckled lightly: "Not yet, if you need, I can do my best to help you compare."

Jiayi gave him a harmless look, and said angrily, "Nervous!"

It takes more than four hours to drive from city A to city C. Although the two of them set off just after [-] o'clock in the morning, they felt that it was still noon in city A. They found a place for lunch, and the two of them followed the plan The clue rushed to find Pang Lili.

When the car drove into the gate of a nursing home in City A, Jiayi glanced at Cheng Feng strangely: "Pang Lili lives in a nursing home?"

"Yes," Cheng Feng nodded: "According to our investigation, it should have been here for almost half a year."

"It's been that long?" Jia Yi was taken aback: "Then, do we want to find out if she has left the nursing home during the stay? After all, the journey from City A to City C is only four or five hours."

Cheng Feng understood what she meant, and nodded: "That's right, we need to confirm whether Pang Lili has ever stayed overnight. After all, we don't know how this nursing home manages the inpatients."

Soon, they found the person in charge of the nursing home. Cheng Feng and the others learned from the person in charge that this nursing home is not for the recovered people to recuperate like many other nursing homes, but for those who need special care. Living, or special diseases that cannot live alone, each patient has his own doctor in charge, as well as a dedicated nurse to take care of.After explaining their purpose, the person in charge helped them find Pang Lili's doctor in charge.

Pang Lili's doctor, surnamed Zong, is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who looks very shrewd and capable.

"You want to investigate Pang Lili?" He was surprised after hearing Cheng Feng's explanation of his visit: "I can't think of why the police want to investigate her."

"She is now an important person involved in a serial murder case in City C," Cheng Feng briefly explained the outline of the entire vampire bride case to Dr. Zong: "Pang Lili is involved in both the first and second victims of this case." , so we investigate her."

Although the case of the vampire bride was a sensation in City C and made people panic, it obviously had not yet spread to City A, which is four or five hours away by car. Dr. Zong knew nothing about the case at first. After the introduction, he was also very surprised, but he still had an attitude of no need to investigate Pang Lili.

"If you want to ask her for some information, it may be necessary, but if you investigate her as a suspect, it would be ridiculous," he said. "Our management of patients is very strict here. According to the records of our nurses, Pang Lili has never left the nursing home during this period, and there is no way for her to leave the nursing home. Unless the mind can kill, I don't see how she can kill the two people in City C."

Although Dr. Zong's firm answer made Cheng Feng curious, those questions can be saved after meeting Pang Lili. Right now, he thinks of another question: "How about your charging standard here?"

Dr. Zong smiled: "You are from City C, so you may not understand that in City A, our conditions in all aspects are first-rate, even if compared in the whole province, we are among the best."

"The fee must be expensive?" Jia Yi understood Cheng Feng's meaning.

Doctor Zong nodded.

"For ordinary working families, can they afford the cost of long-term treatment here?" Jiayi continued to ask.

"I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult." Dr. Zong looked at the two people in front of him wonderingly: "Why are you two so interested in our charging standards?"

"We want to know that Pang Lili has lived here for so long, has her treatment fee been paid? As far as we know, her financial situation is not optimistic." Cheng Feng clearly remembered that they went to Jiangkou District Civil Affairs Bureau to find out the situation. At that time, I heard about whether Pang Lili's application for subsistence allowances was approved, and her parents who have been divorced for many years are also ordinary working-class people. Whether it is herself or her parents, it will be very difficult to bear the expenses here, let alone After Pang Lili's parents remarried, they have been indifferent to their daughter for a long time.So, where did Pang Lili get the money to live here for half a year?
"This..." Dr. Zong was stopped by the question: "I only know that her fee is paid in one lump sum, directly for five years."

five years?That's a lot of money!Both Cheng Feng and Jiayi were surprised by Dr. Zong's answer.

"Then who pays?"

"We don't know about this either. The other party didn't want to disclose their real information. They got in touch with us by phone. We also went to pick up Pang Lili in City C. After she received it, that person transferred the money online to us. On our account." Dr. Zong couldn't help feeling: "There are not many such activities that do good deeds without leaving a name these days!"

"Don't you guys have any idea about the other party's identity?" Jia Yi didn't give up.

Doctor Zong shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm just Pang Lili's doctor in charge. I don't care about those financial matters. If necessary, I can ask the financial side to check for you."

"Then I'll trouble you!" Cheng Feng nodded and thanked: "Can you tell us about Pang Lili's situation? If possible, we would like to meet and chat with Pang Lili."

Doctor Zong sighed and stood up: "How about this, since you insist on seeing Pang Lili, then I will take you to meet her first, and then we can talk!"

Cheng Feng and Jiayi thanked Dr. Guozong, and followed him to Pang Lili's ward.

The ward where Pang Lili lives is on the shady side of the building, and it is shrunk to the corner of the building. Anyone who has lived in a building will know that the lighting in such a room is often not ideal.

"Arranging her to live here is not a matter of cost." Seeing the strange expression on Jiayi's face, Dr. Zong couldn't help explaining, "We assign patients here without distinguishing living conditions based on charging standards. The difference is also related to the treatment method."

Under Jiayi's surprised gaze, Dr. Zong took out the key and opened the door without knocking. The light from the corridor shone in, and what caught Jiayi and Cheng Feng's eyes was another wall and a door.

No wonder Dr. Zong didn't have to knock on the door. It turned out that there was a door inside the door. Jiayi was relieved. Just now she almost thought that this nursing home had no privacy at all.

This time, Dr. Zong gently knocked on the second door: "Lili, I'm Dr. Zong, someone wants to see you, can you let them in?"

There were some small rustling sounds from the room, and a hoarse female voice said, "Okay."

"Do you need me here?" Dr. Zong asked Cheng Feng for his opinion.

"It would be great if we could talk to Pang Lili alone."

Doctor Zong nodded after listening, then turned around and closed the first door behind him, and the surrounding immediately became dark.

"Close the door after you go in, I'll wait for you in the corridor." He explained to the two cautiously, and then opened the second door with the key.

The door was still pitch black, Cheng Feng Jiayi walked into the room, the door was shut behind him with a bang, followed by another muffled sound, Dr. Zong had retreated into the corridor.

Jiayi instinctively stretched out his hand to grope on the wall, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything except the wall.

Hearing the rustling sound of Jiayi's hand touching the wall, the hoarse female voice said, "Don't touch it, there is no light in this room."

"So that's it, you are Pang Lili, right?" Jia Yi gave up exploring and asked.

The other party was silent for a while: "Aren't you sister Yuanyuan?"

Doesn't Pang Lili know about Feng Yuan's murder?Jiayi's first reaction was to see Cheng Feng, but then she realized that under the current situation, she couldn't see clearly at all, and she didn't even know if Cheng Feng was by her side.

As if feeling the uneasiness in her heart, just as Jia Yi stretched out his hand to test Cheng Feng's position, her hand was held by another big warm hand.

Knowing that it was Cheng Feng's hand, Jiayi's uneasy heart because of the darkness was a lot more at ease.

"Who are you?" Pang Lili's voice came, and at the same time there was a rustling sound from the other end of the room.

"Pang Lili, we are from the Public Security Bureau of City C." Cheng Feng's eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment, but he still couldn't see Pang Lili at the other end of the room clearly. He could only vaguely see a person with loose long hair sitting by the bed.

"From the Public Security Bureau?" Pang Lili's voice suddenly became a little higher, and Cheng Feng and Jia Yi could only see her move, as if she turned her face to face them.

After being silent for about half a minute, Pang Lili opened her mouth slowly and uttered a question: "Sister Yuanyuan has an accident, right?"
