Chapter 96

Chen Pu asked Sun Yuanan: "Didn't you say that there is no such person?"

Sun Yuanan said: "She hasn't been here for seven or eight years, how could I remember."

Since Sun Zhilan was very cooperative, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao wanted to give her face and stopped questioning Sun Yuanan. Chen Pu gave Li Qingyao a look and looked at Sun Zhilan.

Li Qingyao understood immediately that Sun Zhilan might be the breakthrough point.

This is easy to judge. Sun Yuanan lost his wife at an early age and raised his children alone. In front of her father, Sun Zhilan was very confident, casual, and had a say. This shows that she grew up being loved by her father.

Sun Yuanan refused to cooperate just now. Now there is only a vague record of "pneumonia" in the system. Of course, he can continue to say that he can't remember clearly. It is probably difficult to get him to speak.

Sun Zhilan was different. She actively cooperated with the police, which showed that she was afraid that her father would get into trouble and was eager to clarify. She also acted very frankly and honestly. If Sun Yuanan really did something, Li Qingyao felt that he definitely did not tell his daughter. Sun Zhilan acted very familiar with the situation in the clinic, maybe they could find out a little bit.

Chen Pu put his hand on Sun Yuanan's shoulder, and Sun Yuanan shook slightly.

"Doctor Sun, can you show me around the clinic?"

Sun Yuanan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay."

After the two walked out of the office, Li Qingyao started chatting with Sun Zhilan.

"Why doesn't your father cooperate? We are investigating others and it has nothing to do with him. Isn't he just getting himself into trouble?"

As soon as Li Qingyao said these words of complaint, Sun Zhilan suddenly felt like she was chatting with girls of the same age, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

She replied: "My father is a very stubborn person. He likes to get stuck in a rut. Police comrades, please don't take it personally. He is not a bad person and is very kind to patients."

Li Qingyao nodded: "My mother also runs a clinic, but it's a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Treating patients well is the most important thing."

Sun Zhilan suddenly felt closer to her and asked, "What case are you investigating? Is there any problem with Xiang Siling?"

Li Qingyao made a "hush" gesture and said, "You can't ask about it. Please keep our visit a secret, okay?"

Sun Zhilan immediately said no problem.

Li Qingyao asked again: "Seven or eight years ago, you were still in college, right?"

"Yes, I'm studying at a normal school."

"So you grew up in a clinic like me, right?"

Sun Zhilan smiled and said yes, and then said: "If I didn't have a license, I could give injections when I was 10 years old."

Li Qingyao smiled at her and changed the subject: "Do you have any impression of this Xiang Siling?"

Sun Zhilan shook her head: "I only came back during the winter and summer vacations during college, so I have no impression of this name."

Li Qingyao still hoped to find the most original paper medical record book, and said: "Your medical system is quite good. In which year was it installed?"

"January 2016."

Li Qingyao was stunned for a moment, and his gaze fell on Sun Zhilan's face again.

Even the clinic staff would have to think about it for a while before they could remember when the system was installed eight years ago, and they might not even remember it clearly. This is human nature. But Sun Zhilan answered immediately.

"You didn't ask someone to install this system, did you? I don't think your father knows much about this."

The smile on Sun Zhilan's face disappeared, and she said, "It's not me. I studied liberal arts and don't understand these things. It was one of my father's apprentices at the time. He did everything himself."

Li Qingyao looked outside and asked, "Is he still in the clinic?"

"He left Xiangcheng seven years ago."

Seven years, and another seven years.

Li Qingyao's nerves would twitch slightly when she heard the words "seven years" and "Chaoyang Home". She and Chen Pu were clearly investigating the Luo Hongmin case, but more and more small clues were gathered to Chaoyang Home seven years ago.

Is this a coincidence?
Li Qingyao looked at Sun Zhilan's unnatural expression and asked, "What's his name? We want to talk to him too."

Sun Zhilan said: "You may not be able to find him. He didn't tell anyone where he went and even changed his phone number."

"So he left without saying goodbye?"

Sun Zhilan lowered her head and looked at the table, her face indifferent: "I just said hello to my dad."

"If others can't find it, we will definitely be able to find it. When the time comes, should I give you my cell phone number?"

Sun Zhilan smiled and said, "No need. His information is in the system. Please wait a moment."

Sun Zhilan retrieved a file very skillfully.

He was a handsome young man with slightly dark skin, who looked only about 23 or 24 years old. He was wearing a white coat, with clear eyes and a lively look.

His name is Ye Songming. He was from a village in Xinyang, Henan Province, and graduated from a third-level medical university in Xiangcheng.

Li Qingyao took a photo of the screen and nudged Sun Zhilan with his arm: "You were with him back then, right..."

Sun Zhilan has always been straightforward. Looking at Li Qingyao's gentle and kind eyes, she felt that there was no need to hide anything. She smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."

"Then why did you separate?"

Sun Zhilan seemed to see the thin, dark-skinned young man again. He had the brightest eyes in the world, was always full of energy, and worked hard to introduce new systems and improve the triage process. He worked from dawn to dusk every day. On the only day off a week, he would take the subway and then two buses to run to her school, as if he never got tired.

He accompanied her to eat, watch movies and go shopping; he accompanied her to roll around in the snow, and they ran and shouted like two idiots on the hills; they hugged and kissed each other in the dark night, in the corner of the silent clinic. Sun Zhilan pursed her lips and replied, "We were together for more than a year, from my sophomore to junior year, and we were fine. But one day, he suddenly sent me a text message saying that he felt we were not suitable and wanted to break up. I couldn't accept it at all and was angry for a few days. When I came back from school on the weekend, he was gone."

"What kind of person is he?"

Sun Zhilan was silent for a while, then answered: "Although he is an irresponsible jerk in our relationship. But objectively speaking, he is a very good person, very kind, very honest, very hard-working, and very good to every patient. He is also very smart. He was the one who contacted and introduced the diagnosis and treatment system. At that time, I joked that he had upgraded the clinic.

I have a boyfriend now, we've been together for two years, and we plan to get married in the second half of this year. If you find him, you don't need to give me his contact information. But can you help me ask him why he left? I must know the answer in this lifetime."

-

After leaving the clinic, Li Qingyao said to Chen Pu, "The diagnosis and treatment system was introduced by Ye Songming, and the case data must have been entered by him. He should be an insider about Xiang Siling's affairs. Moreover, he abandoned his lover and his job and left without saying goodbye, which is very strange."

Chen Pu immediately called the Xinyang police in Henan and asked them to help check the man's information and whereabouts. The Xinyang police agreed immediately. Chen Pu also contacted the police in charge of household registration information in the bureau to help with the search.

All that’s left is to wait for news.

It was just after midnight, and the two were hungry. However, according to the cold war practice of the past two weeks, they should now go their separate ways.

Chen Pu looked at the shops on the street with a natural look and asked, "Let's have a meal to celebrate today. Do you want a midnight snack or a stir-fry?"

He didn't say what he was celebrating.

Li Qingyao said: "But I still think it's better to go home and eat takeout alone."

Chen Pu smiled, stretched out his hands and pressed her shoulders, and his voice rang beside her ears: "How many times do I need to admit my mistakes? Tell me the number so that I can have a rough idea."

Li Qingyao was pushed by him and walked a few steps. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Chen Xiaopu, do you know how to write the word 'gutiment'?"

"I don't know. If I know what that is for, do you have the guts to eat with me?"

The two chatted and laughed. Li Qingyao picked a small stir-fry restaurant and said, "It's my treat. Don't grab it."

Chen Pu sat down across the table and asked, "Why?"

Li Qingyao flipped through the menu and said, "You treated me to milk tea and chocolate today. I want to treat you to food, too."

When she spoke these words, her voice was soft and gentle, neither hurried nor slow. Chen Pu felt a warm current surge in his heart - he felt that he understood her voice-over, she was telling him that she was the same as him. She also didn't want to quarrel or have a cold war.

She also wanted to make him happy.

"I want lettuce stewed with cured pig's trotters." He responded actively by ordering food.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingyao glanced at the menu and said decisively: "I don't eat pig's trotters tonight. They are too fatty. Besides, this is hot pot. You can't finish such a large portion by yourself. It's 128, too expensive. Change it."

Chen Pu: “…”

"I just want to eat pig's trotters."

Li Qingyao raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Okay, I'll order a roasted pig's trotter for you, 18 yuan, that's it, I'll order the other dishes, you can take a rest."

In the end, both of them were full and walked out of the restaurant holding their stomachs.

Li Qingyao: "It's all your fault. Why did you order a Coke? I drank a lot."

"How about we make a rule that we can only have drinks once a week?" Chen Pu was also afraid of getting fat or developing a belly.

"Okay, you'll keep your word?"

"I can't do anything. At worst I can just drink ice water next time."

"Didn't my mom say you have kidney deficiency? Why are you drinking ice water?"

Chen Pu stopped and refused to leave: "Why did Aunt Yuan tell you everything? This is the patient's privacy... No! She said that my overall physical fitness is very good, better than most people, but because of staying up late, my kidney energy is a little bit weaker. This is not kidney deficiency, damn it! Come back here, why are you walking so fast!"

As they were talking, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Henan. He said to Li Qingyao, "Come here." and picked up the phone immediately.

The Henan police were very efficient because Ye Songming's mobile phone, address, and work status in the past few years were all registered in the system. After leaving Xiangcheng seven years ago, he returned to a county under Xinyang and opened a private clinic. He has lived in Henan since then. He has never been married, has no girlfriend, and has always been single.

Two years ago, he was killed in a car accident while driving out to buy medicines. He was only 32 years old.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingyao said, "So, the clue is broken again?"

Chen Pu said, "I think I should go to Henan and see it for myself."

Li Qingyao: "Then you go alone. Bye."

Chen Pu smiled again, and suddenly raised his hand and rubbed her short hair very hard, until Li Qingyao's face turned black. She slapped his hand away, and he quickly pinched her face again.

"Chen Xiaopu, are you crazy?!" His movements were so rough that they hurt her face.

"It's not safe for me to go alone, will you accompany me?"

Li Qingyao: "Whatever."

Chen Pu checked the traffic and confirmed the location of Ye Songming's hometown and his family's contact information with the police in Henan. Finally, he decided to take the sleeper train with Li Qingyao that night and arrive at the town where Ye Songming's family is located early the next morning.

I may not have said at the beginning of the series that this book is a suspense romance, not a mystery romance. My writing goal is to be realistic, to use more lifelike details to portray the characters' behavior, psychology and humanity (not referring to the male and female protagonists), and to make the details of solving the case more solid.

So it will have suspense, but it is not destined to be a novel with ups and downs, many plot twists, and excitement. I explain this because I find that some readers may have always wanted to read such content, but they may be disappointed because the style of this book is not like that.

I am old now, and the writing goals of each book may be different. For example, on the first day of writing "A Zen", I said in the copy that there is only one goal: to practice the ability to advance details, that is, the ability to constantly reverse and advance details under the premise of an old plot. It is completely different from this book, and students who are interested can also take a look. (I am really just here to express my heart, not to advertise haha)

In short, new readers may not understand, I will emphasize my seniority again - I have been writing for so many years, so old, don't have too high expectations of me, just be able to write, let me write whatever I want, if the writing is not good enough, you can ask for it, but you also need to understand - you see a skinny old donkey and a fat and strong young donkey, can you ask the same of them? No! I tell you that my kidney qi is really insufficient, I feel it myself. Every day while typing, I stuff a handful of kidney pills, it's so sad, not funny, it's true.
