Chapter 101

In the afternoon, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao took all of Ye Songming's notes and planned to take the high-speed train back to Xiangcheng. The local police sent a car to take them to the high-speed train station.

On the way, Chen Pu called Ding Guoqiang.

After listening to Chen Pu's report, Ding Guoqiang asked: "Who do you suspect?"

"There may be something wrong with the doctor who handled the case at that time."

Ding Guoqiang gave him the contact information of a criminal police officer and said, "Tang Zonghua was one of the criminal police officers in charge of the Xiang Wei case. He has now been transferred to another branch. It would be fastest if you ask him directly. We will have to reconsider this case when we get back."

Chen Pu immediately called Tang Zonghua, introduced himself, and explained his purpose.

Chen Pu asked: "Brother Tang, how did you choose the hospital at that time? Did you designate it, or did Li Meiling and her daughter choose it?"

Tang Zonghua recalled the situation that night and replied, "It's not that anyone designated it. In the first few days, Li Meiling said she would not agree to anything, saying that Xiang Siling was still a child, how could she accept such an examination? It was too insulting. We can understand her feelings as a mother, but we can't force a high school student to take the examination because there is no evidence to support it.

In fact, everyone was holding out hope at the time. They wanted to find out the truth and also wanted to do their best to help Luo Huaizheng's child. Later one night, Li Meiling finally gave in. We were afraid that she would change her mind, so we rushed over. I remember it was around 10 o'clock in the evening, and a colleague and I drove to pick them up. "

Tang Zonghua still remembers what happened that night very clearly.

When they opened the door, the mother and daughter's eyes were red, as if they had just cried. Li Meiling's attitude was not very good, and she asked them if proving her daughter's virginity would prove that Luo Huaizheng was lying and arrest the little beast. Tang Zonghua just laughed.

"What was Xiang Siling's reaction at that time?" Chen Pu asked.

"She looked the same those days, dull and prone to tears. She didn't say anything when we asked her questions, and her mother answered all our questions for us. And then..."

They talked about which hospital to go to. Li Meiling said it didn't matter. The closer the better. They wanted a big hospital to avoid an irregular one that might hurt the child. The nearest big hospital to their home was the Third Municipal Hospital, so they went there without any discussion.

It was already 11pm when they arrived at the hospital. The outpatient department had already closed, so they registered for the emergency gynecology department. Li Meiling said that she was afraid of attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble, so she hoped that they would not reveal their police identities. This request was reasonable, so Tang Zonghua agreed.

When they arrived at the emergency gynecology department, the doctor's office was empty, with only a deputy chief doctor in his forties, a man. Li Meiling told the doctor that she wanted to check her daughter's body, fearing that she might be bullied, and to see if her hymen was still intact. The doctor probably had seen this happen many times, so he didn't ask any more questions and took Xiang Siling into the examination room alone.

Li Meiling and two policemen were waiting outside.

Soon, the doctor brought Xiang Siling out and gave them the test results: [Hymen intact, vagina intact.]

Tang Zonghua's heart sank at that moment.

……

"What's the doctor's name? Can I find it out?" Chen Pu asked.

"Let me check. There is a signed inspection record in the file... I found it. His name is Ling Yong."

After hanging up Tang Zonghua's phone, Chen Pu called Ding Guoqiang again: "Master, please help me check another person, Ling Yong, who was a gynecologist at the Third Municipal Hospital seven years ago. Can you help me check this person's background and which hospitals he has worked in?"

Li Qingyao, who was listening nearby, suddenly remembered that Li Meiling had worked in a hospital when she was young. That day, they were at her mother's house and saw the nurse's nameplate of the hospital. The hospital was called...

"Huawang Hospital."

Ding Guoqiang was very quick in his response. As soon as Chen Pu and his team arrived at the high-speed railway station, he responded:

"In 1998, Ling Yong graduated from Medical University and went to work in this private hospital, where his salary was twice as high as that in the institutional hospital. Two years later, Huawang went bankrupt due to poor management, and Ling Yong stayed at home for more than a year. Later, his family helped him get a job in the Municipal People's Hospital. After working there for ten years, he was transferred to the Municipal Third Hospital, and now he has become the director of the gynecology department."

Chen Pu and Li Qingyao calculated the time and found that Ling Yong's stay in Huawang Hospital coincided with that of Li Meiling. One was a new medical graduate with a bright future, and the other was a young and beautiful nurse.

-

The local high-speed railway station was small and not crowded, with only two platforms and empty seats everywhere in the waiting hall. It was not time to check the tickets yet, so Chen Pu and Li Qingyao found a seat and sat down.

Chen Pu placed their luggage on the empty seat next to him. Turning around, he saw Li Qingyao looking distracted again.

He had long been accustomed to it and had expected that whenever something happened to Luo Huaizheng, she would become abnormal.

However, he originally thought that he would not feel bad now, as he had the mentality of a top-notch player who said, "Let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills." But now, seeing her return to her old ways, he realized how wrong he was. It was no longer a case of not caring, it was simply a case of post-traumatic stress disorder for him.

As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. That familiar feeling of falling came over me instantly. My chest was stuffy and my heart was embarrassed. I felt as if I had been hit hard by someone and I felt weak all over.

He looked out the window. The platform was empty. The train hadn't arrived yet. The afternoon sun was shining on the railway. The sky was blue, and the clouds were white like snow. His ears were filled with all kinds of empty and noisy sounds in the station.

Although the old saying goes, once you have seen the sea, other waters are no match for you.

But as the old saying goes, only new people laugh, and no one has ever seen the old people cry.

Fuck him!
Chen Pu felt that he had made great progress and his emotions had basically calmed down. He even smiled with understanding and asked Li Qingyao, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Luo Huaizheng? If you have any ideas, let's discuss it." Li Qingyao nodded, and her brows, which were usually lazy, were now tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry. She said, "It is now certain that Ling Yong and Li Meiling colluded to commit fraud. When they went to that hospital that day, Ling Yong happened to be on duty in the emergency department. It must have been arranged in advance."

"Yes."

"Xiang Siling was sexually assaulted in her second year of high school. This leads to a case within a case. Was she willing or was she forced? Who was that person? Was it Luo Hongmin or Xiang Wei? Or were they both involved? Can the case from that year be retried? Is it possible for Luo Huaizheng to clear his name? Is this a false case?"

She said so much in one breath, and it was obvious that her mood was up and down.

Chen Pu thought of her depression experience on the train yesterday, and when he saw her worried look at the moment, he felt pity for her. Then another thought flashed through his mind - maybe the trauma she had experienced back then was too great, so she had such an intense emotional reaction when she met Luo Huaizheng. This made perfect sense.

He just took it as it is.

He said calmly: "Luo Huaizheng can request a retrial, but whether it can be initiated depends on the court. However, I think there is hope, because this abortion report proves that Xiang Siling and Li Meiling lied, and had subjective intentions to conceal and falsify information from the judicial authorities. Luo Huaizheng insisted in his confession that he witnessed Xiang Wei sexually assaulting Xiang Siling. So now, there is a basis for his behavior that was a courageous act and legitimate defense. But I think... this is not direct evidence and cannot clear him of the charges. In fact, whether this case can be retried and Luo Huaizheng can be cleared of all charges depends on one person."

"Who?"

"Xiang Siling. In addition to the deceased Xiang Wei, only she and Li Meiling were present at the time. She must know the truth. I have read her confession carefully. At that time, she did say that her father beat her, not raped her. But she did not say that she witnessed that it was Luo Huaizheng who caused Xiang Wei's fatal injury. She said that she hid in the room at the time."

"Will she suddenly have a change of heart?" Li Qingyao asked. But the scene of her and Chen Pu going to Luo Huaizheng's company that day came to her mind. What did Luo Huaizheng say at that time?

【Did you discover anything during your contact with her? 】

[Qing Yao, if I find anything clear, I will tell you as soon as possible.]

From the beginning, Luo Huaizheng's appearance beside Xiang Siling was suspicious. He must have discovered something.

"Maybe we can talk to Xiang Siling again after we go back." Chen Pu put his arm on the back of her chair, his eyes flashing with the cunning and shrewd light of an old detective. "The evidence of abortion we found is beyond her expectation and can catch her off guard. Then she will only have two choices - either admit that the man is Luo Hongmin, but in this way, she will have sufficient motive to kill Luo Hongmin, and we can also legitimately investigate all her assets, bank accounts, and communication records; or, admit that the man is Xiang Wei, then her confession will no longer be convincing, which is very beneficial to Luo Huaizheng. Let's see what she chooses."

Li Qingyao opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She really didn't expect that he could be so calculating... no, to gamble with the suspect. She looked at his calm appearance, and her heart was agitated. She said, "Great! I was really worried and confused. I didn't expect it at all."

Chen Pu maintained a wise and calm smile.

Damn it, caring too much will only lead to chaos!
Although he was jealous, seeing the train coming into the station and people lining up for ticket checking, Chen Pu stood up with his luggage and said seriously, "Don't worry, if Luo Huaizheng is innocent, we have come this far, there must be a way to clear his name. As long as it is a false case, I will do my best to expose it. Anyway, I am a person who has no scruples. Let's go and get on the train."

Li Qingyao said nothing and followed him.

Chen Pu was still wearing the same white T-shirt he had changed into the night before. Because he had been busy for most of the day, there was a smear of dust on his back and on his right arm. He was too lazy to carry his black backpack, so he carried it together with her luggage. His five fingers looked strong and sturdy. He looked up at the front, tall and frank. In fact, his back looked thin and tight, and you could always see the faint curve of his shoulder blades. He always liked to wear black pants, probably because they were dirt-resistant. He had long legs. After all, he was a gang leader, and if he was not tall enough, how could he win the support of the crowd in the past?

Li Qingyao looked at his back, and a long-lost impulse surged in his heart.

I want to jump up again.

He would be startled, and then quickly protect her with both hands. The luggage would definitely not be lost, so he would have to carry the luggage and her, but he would definitely be able to hold it.

He would never abandon her. But with so many people around, he might be shy. Then it would depend on who has more dignity, her or him.

As Li Qingyao thought about it, he started to laugh.

But of course she wouldn't jump on his back. There were so many people around, and it wasn't like she had put her face in the refrigerator at home and didn't bring it out.

but.

Li Qingyao took a step forward and suddenly moved close to his back, with her face directly touching it. Chen Pu noticed it and immediately stopped moving. She buried her face in his T-shirt, rubbed it a few times, and finally gently wrapped her hands around the waist that she had measured many times with her eyes.

She said, "Thank you, Chen Pu. You are so kind."

After saying this, her hands loosened and her face turned away without any hesitation. She said, "Okay, the warm and touching moment is over. Hurry up, the car is coming."

Chen Pu didn't look back.

His entire back was numb, his heart was pounding, and his waist felt like it was electrified. He thought, what the hell is this? Li Qingyao took the initiative to hug him for the first time for another man's matter, and even gave him a good guy card.

but……

He lowered his head and smiled.

No matter why, he is very good anyway.

　Thanks to the students who raised the bug yesterday, the bug has been fixed.

　　I need to sort out the detailed outline of the following chapters tomorrow, so I have to stop updating for a day. If I can't finish it in one day, it may take two days. Every author has a different style. For example, a certain anonymous friend of mine doesn't have an outline. For me, the outline is the most important thing. I will try to update one chapter the day after tomorrow. If I don't update, I will make up for it with a short drama.

　　(End of this chapter)
