Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 24

In Ma Yongquan's house, Zhao Bowen and Qian Shaowei sat on the sofa in the living room with dignified faces, and the ashtray on the coffee table was already full of cigarette butts.And Ma Yongquan stood by the window with a cigarette in his mouth, with a livid face, without saying a word, and the room was deadly silent.

"Brother Ma, you just said something! You just kept silent when you came back from the police station. I don't know what to do!" Qian Shaowei couldn't bear it anymore, and said.

"Why are you arguing! Didn't you see that Brother Ma was thinking about something?" Zhao Bowen scolded.

"The police also said that Meizi was killed by someone, plus the threatening package we just received this morning, do you think I can't be afraid?" Qian Shaowei said aggrievedly.

"Look at your virtue." Zhao Bowen said disdainfully.

"Okay, stop arguing." Ma Yongquan finally spoke. He did not reprimand Qian Shaowei for being timid. On the contrary, he appeared unusually calm and calm, "I have to admit that I underestimated my opponent too much. I shouldn't have let Meizi investigate by herself so quickly, I must bear some responsibility for her death."

"Brother Ma..."

Before Zhao Bowen finished speaking, Ma Yongquan interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about it, Meizi and we have been in a relationship since we were young. She died, and none of us feel bad."

"But who killed Meizi?" Zhao Bowen was puzzled.

"It must be Shen Hao's ghost who came back to seek revenge on us." Qian Shaowei said in horror.

"What the hell? Where did the ghost come from? There are no ghosts in this world, so stop scaring yourself." Ma Yongquan reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you hear what the police said? Meizi was poisoned by a hallucinogen , that’s why there was a car accident.”

"The most suspicious thing now is the mysterious person who sent a threatening package in the morning." Zhao Bowen said.

"That's true. Meizi played with us since we were young. We know who she knows very well. How could anyone want to kill her?" Ma Yongquan mused, "First use Shen Hao to scare us, and then lead us to investigate. Shen Lang then poisoned Meizi, it seems that the other party came prepared, the whole situation was perfectly arranged, and it was obvious that he wanted to avenge Shen Hao!"

"But Shen Hao has no relatives other than his younger brother Shen Lang. Who would want to avenge Shen Hao? And we have kept the secret of Shen Hao's death so far. It is impossible for anyone to know. " Zhao Bowen was puzzled.

"But the threatening package this morning was very clearly written, blood debt, blood payment, signed by Shen Hao, if the person who sent the package didn't know that Shen Hao was dead, how could he write blood debt?" Qian Shaowei Said.

Ma Yongquan frowned and thought deeply, and after a long time, he said: "I think the same person did the killing of plums and sending the parcels, what do you think?"

"Well, I agree. If it wasn't for that package, Meizi wouldn't have gone out to see Shen Lang, so she wouldn't have given someone a chance to be poisoned." Zhao Bowen nodded in agreement.

"Brother Ma, I agree with what you said, but the key now is who is this person? How much does he know about us? Also, judging from the content written in the package he sent, Killing Meizi may be just a At first, his target may be all of us!" Qian Shaowei worried.

"It makes sense. Let's not talk about whether this person wants to kill the four of us. Let's say that he has already killed Meizi and alerted the police. If the police find him before us, in case he confesses what he knows , then we can’t afford to walk around, so we must find him first before the police find the murderer, and then weed out the roots to prevent future troubles.” Ma Yongquan said viciously.

"But now that the police have intervened in the investigation, how can we investigate?" Zhao Bowen asked.

"Although the police started to investigate, they don't know as much as we do. Meizi was poisoned outside. We know her whereabouts best today. First, I went to the hospital to see Shen Lang, and then followed the clues given by the nurse. We found an old man named Yang Haisheng in the Charity Home for the Elderly, and was killed on the way back, so she was probably poisoned in the process, so we can use these points as clues to investigate first.” Ma Yongquan analyzed.

"Okay, leave this to me! I'll go to the Charity Nursing Home tomorrow morning." Zhao Bowen said, patting his chest.

"Well, we must pay attention to safety. Don't eat and drink whatever anyone gives you. We have to eat a pit, gain a wisdom, and recently we have to reduce the number of times we attend public places. After all, the murderer is in the dark. We are in the open. , We don't know what his next move is, the most important thing now is to be careful, and the most important thing is to save this life." Ma Yongquan reminded cautiously.

Shen Lang is still lying quietly on the hospital bed, now he can only live in his own world without moving, and all the people and things around him seem to have nothing to do with him, but this may be a good thing for him. This is the best choice. If one day when he wakes up, he finds that all the relatives around him have already left him. I really don't know if he will accept this reality, which is more cruel than lying quietly.

Meng Shaohui stood quietly by Shen Lang's bed and observed for a long time, and tried to call him a few times, but Shen Lang still fell asleep on his own, ignoring Meng Shaohui, the only person who could tell Meng Shaohui that the person in front of him was still alive , only the beating ripple display instrument in the ward.

"Are you his friend too? There are quite a lot of people who have come to see him recently!"

The little nurse that Sun Mei met when she came to see Shen Lang before came into the ward with a newspaper.

"No, I'm a policeman." Meng Shaohui replied.

"Police?" The little nurse stared at Meng Shaohui curiously, "Could he do anything else?"

"Hehe, no, it's just that there is a case that may be related to him, so let's take a look." Meng Shaohui smiled, "By the way, from your tone just now, has anyone visited him recently? Who is it?"

"Yesterday, a woman said she was his friend and came to see him."

"Is it this woman?" Meng Shaohui took out Sun Mei's photo and handed it to the little nurse.

"Yes." The little nurse nodded.

"Did she say anything?"

"It's not just asking about his condition, whether he has woken up, and who paid his medical expenses."

"Has he ever woken up? I mean recently." Meng Shaohui stared at Shen Lang and asked.

"No, he has been lying like this for several years, and if he wanted to wake up, he would have woken up long ago."

"What about his medical expenses? The daily medical expenses of a patient like this should be very high!" Meng Shaohui asked Sun Mei's question again step by step. He hoped to find some clues from it. At least he could understand the purpose of Sun Mei's coming here.

"It was donated by an old man named Yang Haisheng in a charity nursing home."

"So the woman in the photo also knows about this situation!"

"Yes, you and she asked the same question yesterday. Is she also a policeman?"

"How long have you been taking care of him here?" Meng Shaohui didn't answer the little nurse's question, but changed the subject.

"It's been almost a year! His brother has been here to take care of him before. Since his brother's accident, head nurse Lu has been taking care of him personally, but head nurse Lu is too busy, so she arranged for me to take care of him every day. He's gone." The little nurse said while massaging Shen Lang's leg muscles, "It's much easier to take care of him than those patients who can run and move, at least he is obedient, hehe." The nurse smiled mischievously.

"Then does he respond to external things? For example, if you talk to him, can he hear it?"

"I think I should be able to hear it, but there is no reaction, so sometimes if I encounter some unhappy things, I will come to him and tell him. I don't expect him to enlighten me, but some words are not good for others. Say, come talk to him, at least it will make me feel like I’m talking to someone, and I’ll feel better, and he won’t pass me around, hehe.” The little nurse smiled mischievously.

"Then do you know his brother Shen Hao?"

"All the doctors and nurses here know him. His brother really loves him. Before the accident, he would come here after work every day. On weekends, he basically stays here all day. He is really a good brother. "

"Apart from these, do you know anything else about his brother?"

"It's gone, because I was not in charge of taking care of him at the time, but you can ask head nurse Lu, because at that time his brother and head nurse Lu were very close, and sometimes he couldn't come to work overtime, so he called head nurse Lu for help take care of him."

Walking out of Shen Lang's ward, Meng Shaohui immediately dialed the investigators' phone number and asked them to rush to the Charity Nursing Home to find out about Yang Haisheng's situation, and whether Sun Mei had been there yesterday, and what she had done there.And in order to get a better understanding of Shen Hao and Shen Lang's situation, he found the head nurse Lu Yanxia the nurse had mentioned, and she happened to be resting in the office at this time.

Lu Yanxia should be about 30 years old, with a standard oval face. Although she wears a pair of glasses on her face, she should not belong to the type of high myopia, because when she saw Meng Shaohui walking into the office, she took off her glasses. Her eyes are clear and bright, coupled with a pink nurse outfit and light makeup on her face, it gives people a peaceful and virtuous and comfortable feeling.

"Are you Head Nurse Lu?" Meng Shaohui stepped forward and asked.

"What do you want?" Lu Yanxia put down the medical book in her hand and asked.

"My surname is Meng, and I'm a policeman." Meng Shaohui introduced himself.

"Please sit down." Lu Yanxia got up and greeted, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I heard that you are quite familiar with Shen Lang's brother Shen Hao, isn't it?" Meng Shaohui asked.

"Shen Hao?" Lu Yanxia looked at Meng Shaohui suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It can't be considered too familiar, it can only be said to be acquainted. He gave up everything in order to take care of his younger brother who was lying on the hospital bed. In terms of life and time outside of work, since Shen Lang was admitted to our hospital, except for working hours, you can basically see him, and his meticulous care of his brother is really touching."

"Then he hasn't visited Shen Lang since he absconded with money?"

"Yeah! When I heard the news of him absconding with money, I was really shocked. I couldn't imagine why he did such a thing. Now that their family has no other relatives, Shen Lang can only rely on our medical care The staff took care of it." Lu Yanxia sighed softly.

"I heard from the nurse that Shen Lang's medical expenses were all donated by an old man named Yang Haisheng. Do you know what relationship he has with Shen Lang?"

"Old man Yang seems to know Shen Lang's parents, so after hearing that so many accidents happened to the Shen family, he selflessly used his pension money to help Shen Lang. Fortunately, he has him, otherwise the high medical expenses like Shen Lang , Our hospital really doesn’t know how to solve it.”

"Has Shen Lang woke up recently? Or if a vegetable like him wakes up, can he get out of bed and walk around immediately?"

"He has been lying like this for several years, and the possibility of waking up is very slim! And even if he does wake up, it will take a long time to recover. How can he get out of bed and walk around immediately? Why, Are you suspicious of Shen Lang?" Lu Yanxia hurriedly asked as if she felt something.

"Oh! No, I'm just asking casually. I don't mean anything else. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Meng Shaohui immediately found an excuse to leave. He didn't want his question to be disturbed by a vegetable lying on a hospital bed. Come to unnecessary trouble.
