Chapter 98 - Chapter 98

  Doctor Fu seemed to be just passing by. After the uncle next to Lin Shuyue finished speaking and heard his reply that the ointment was effective, he left. His one-long-legged-and-short-legged walking made him walk a little faster, so his walking was more obvious.

  As soon as he left, the uncle began to sigh again: "Dr. Fu is so pitiful. When he was very young, his father said he was going to Hong Kong to make a living, but he never heard from him again. The two siblings lived with their grandparents, but they passed away before they even went to college."

  "His sister paid for his university education. In order to support his studies, she didn't get married in all these years. She did meet a few potential partners, but when she heard that she was going to support her brother's studies, they hesitated."

  The situation of the Fu family is somewhat different from that of Lin Shuyue's family. Lin Shuyue is a girl, so the most they can do is support her until she graduates from college. Their mother is still alive, so she don't need much help from Lin Shuxing when she get married and have children in the future.

  Doctor Fu is a boy, and his parents are missing. Fu Rou will definitely help him get married and have children. Under such circumstances, even if someone likes Fu Rou, they will still have concerns. The most important thing is that Fu Rou is not keen on getting married. As soon as the blind date raised concerns, she broke up immediately without hesitation.

  "What a pity." The uncle sighed. In the past, Beijiao was a village committee. Now that it has developed well, Beijiao has become a township. Beijiao Hospital is not far from Baixun Village. Usually, if the villagers have a disease or pain, they can walk to the hospital in less than half an hour.

  It has been seven or eight years since Dr. Fu's sister started working at Beijiao Hospital. She is considerate and gentle. No matter whether the elderly or children go to the hospital for treatment, she is very patient and responsible and has never given anyone a cold shoulder.

  There is no uncle or aunt in Baixun Village who doesn't like her. Doctor Fu often comes here because her sister works here. Almost everyone in Baixun Village has watched him grow up.

  The relationship between the siblings was so good that the villagers had never seen them quarrel. During the summer vacation, Dr. Fu would work in nearby shops or factories, and would go home to cook for Fu Rou after work. If Fu Rou worked the night shift, he would pick up his sister after get off work.

  How many people in the village envy the harmonious relationship between the siblings?

  Dr. Fu had finally graduated and started working, and her life had just gotten a little better when this happened. When the news of Fu Rou's death came out, countless people in the village felt sorry for her.

  The uncle couldn't help but feel sorry for the deceased doctor Fu's sister Fu Rou: "Damn that hit-and-run guy."

  Lin Shuyue herself was also raisrd by Lin Shuxing. Hearing this, she felt sorry for this girl who also gave a lot to her younger siblings: "Uncle, where was she hit? Isn't there any surveillance nearby?"

  With the development of the times, electronic cameras have been installed in many places in Pengcheng. Lin Shuyue just walked along the way and saw many security cameras on the streets.

  The uncle sighed and said, "Not here, but in the alley over there. There are no surveillance cameras on the nearby roads. Ah Rou was hit on her way back from her night shift. When she was found, she was dead. The traffic police investigated for a long time but could not find any clues."

  "Did Dr. Fu also entrust her funeral arrangements to Baixun Funeral Home?" Lin Shuyue asked again.

  "Yes, it's nearby, so he handed it over to Baixun Funeral Home. Her ashes are buried on the mountain. Some time ago, we often saw Doctor Fu visiting her. Sometimes he went at night and came down the mountain the next morning. But he hasn't been there recently. Maybe he has moved on."

  The uncle was very open-minded: "That's right, the dead can't be resurrected, but the living have to live their lives."

  As soon as the uncle finished speaking, he started talking to someone else.

  They quickly walked back to the entrance of the funeral home. There were several more wounds on Long Jingyi's body. Judging from the appearance of Ran Kangshun's children and his mother, those extra wounds must have been caused by Ran Kangshun's children.

  Long Jingyi lowered his head and said nothing, but his hands gradually clenched into fists.

  Lin Shuyue looked around and found the auntie who had just chatted with her: "Auntie, was that person beaten again?"

  The aunt ran back to the funeral home after seeing Ran Kangshun's children coming. Now seeing Lin Shuyue coming to ask her, she immediately said, "Yes, yes, it was Ran Xiaodong and Ran Xiaoxi who did it. These two are really not good people! I remember that Long Jingyi was very good to them. When Ran Xiaoxi was admitted to the technical secondary school, Long Jingyi gave her a computer."

  It is only 2004 now, Ran Xiaoxi is only 20 years old, and he was admitted to technical secondary school in 2000. A computer must cost tens of thousands. Such a big gift can only be given to close relatives. But since they are so close, why is there no one in Ran Kangshun's family who respects Long Jingyi?

  Lin Shuyue felt that the relationship between Long Jingyi and Ran Kangshun's family was really hard to understand.

  "Auntie, this Long Jingyi doesn't have a wife?" Lin Shuyue found a random entry point.

  "He has a wife, and she's quite pretty. She's delicate and slim, but the couple's relationship isn't very good. Although they don't quarrel, some people say they have been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time. But his wife has a good temper. Ran Kangshun often goes to his house for dinner, and his wife always entertains him warmly." Long Jingyi's family also lives in Baixun Village, not far from Ran Kangshun's home.

  The speed of interpersonal relationships and the spread of information in rural areas is described by Lou Fengqin as follows: if someone farts with a certain smell, it will spread throughout the village in less than a day.

  If the family had more things to talk about, the pecking between the two chickens would be talked about. As the first two outsiders to buy houses in the village, Ran Kangshun and Long Jingyi were like this.

  Lin Shuyue couldn't help but reveal Conan -like thinking movements, and then she asked: "Does Long Jingyi have children?"

  "There was a daughter, she was sixteen or eighteen years old, I forgot." The aunt thought hard, but she really couldn't remember.

  At this time, Lin Shuyue's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Li Mingfang calling. After knowing that Lin Shuyue was watching the excitement at the funeral home, Li Mingfang condemned Lin Shuyue in a stern manner and also wanted to watch the excitement. When they arrived, the forensic doctor was preparing to take Ran Kangshun's body back to the public security bureau for autopsy.

  All of the Ran family was stunned, especially Ran Kangshun's wife Yao Fenglian: "Why do we need to autopsy? It was Long Jingyi who killed my man, you can just arrest him! Why are you taking our Kangshun away?"

  Ran Kangshun's mother Wang Cuihua also stopped the police and said, "Yes, you are not allowed to take him away! You are not allowed to cut him open, he must be intact."

  The forensic doctor has conducted a preliminary examination of Ran Kangshun's body, and the results of the examination are the same as the conclusion reached by the director of the Beijiao Police Station, that he died of cardiac arrest, but the specific details still need to be returned to the Public Security Bureau for further autopsy.

  Facing the family's objections, the forensic doctors were already used to it. Everyone had a bad opinion about being dissected. After all, the concept had been there for thousands of years. Who wouldn't want to keep a whole body after death? It was just that the Ran family was more opposed to this matter.

  The forensic team leader was Qi Yuanyuan. She pushed her eyeglasses on her nose and talked to the Ran family calmly. Generally speaking, she would persuade them with emotion and reason, and the family would agree to let them take the body away. Although as public security personnel, they could forcibly take the body away, they did not want to go to that step unless it was absolutely necessary. It was still necessary to communicate well with the family.

  The two sides argued with each other for more than ten minutes, and the Ran family still did not agree to an autopsy. Hang Jiabai had already led his team to survey the funeral home. When he came back and saw that they were still arguing, his face turned bad. He said directly to Zhao Youcheng Jiangzhou beside him: "Take him away by force."

  The curator had been following Hang Jiabai the whole time. When he saw the Ran family preventing the forensic doctor from taking the body away, his face turned pale: "Third Aunt, don't hinder the police comrades' work."

  The third aunt that was called was Ran Kangshun's mother, Wang Cuihua. She glanced at the curator and lowered her head under the curator's warning gaze. When she withdrew, although Yao Fenglian and her two children were very unhappy, they didn't say anything and just stepped aside.

  The policemen wearing gloves placed Ran Kangshun on a stretcher, covered him with a white cloth, and carried him out.

  Hang Jiabai and others were also saying goodbye to the curator, who saw them off politely.

  As soon as the police left, the director closed the door of the funeral home, blocking everyone's sight. Neither Long Jingyi nor the Ran brothers and sisters came out.

  Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd dispersed, and Lin Shuyue, Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang walked towards the resort.

  Before leaving, the aunt saw that Lin Shuyue liked mangoes very much, so she went to her house and brought a lot of mangoes for her. They were all from her trees and ripened with straw. They tasted sour and sweet, different from the purely sweet ones sold outside, and they were also very delicious.

  Lin Shuyue's refusal was useless.

  After the aunt turned around and went home, Li Mingfang opened the bag of mangoes and stuffed it into Li Weisheng's arms. Then she took Lin Shuyue's arm and chatted with her affectionately.

  They were chatting about all the gossip about the funeral home today. Li Weisheng lagged behind, walking slowly.

  After arriving at the resort, Li Mingfang followed Lin Shuyue back to change into swimsuits and then couldn't wait to take her to the beach.

  Wang Fahui and her friends were sitting and chatting under a parasol at the sea ice bathing beach. The ultraviolet rays at the seaside were strong, so they were not willing to go out in the sun. Instead, they felt more comfortable looking at the sea, feeling the sea breeze and chatting.

  Next to Wang Fahui there was a pile of pocket books, all of which they had just finished reading.

  As soon as Lin Shuyue arrived, Xiao He, who was sitting next to Wang Fahui, spoke up: "Ah Yue, where have you been? I wanted to talk to you just now but you were nowhere to be seen. Ah Fang just said you're back. I got you a glass of ice water, drink it quickly."

  Since Li Mingfang started calling Lin Shuyue "Ah Yue", people in the office also started calling her that.

  Lin Shuyue saw the glass of iced juice under the parasol, which was still dripping with water, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Ah He. We went to the funeral home. You know that place, right? Someone died in the funeral home!"

  Lin Shuyue's words were like a bolt of thunder that exploded in everyone's ears. They were still talking about the funeral home in the morning. It only happened a few moments ago, so how come someone died now?

  Wang Fahui took off his sunglasses and asked, "What's going on? Who died?"

  Li Mingfang took over the conversation: "He was a cremator. He died last night and was only found at noon today."

  Li Mingfang told Wang Fahui and the others the story she heard from Lin Shuyue in a vivid way.

  Several people listened very carefully.

  Sister Liu and Xiang Bingbing, who came from the bathhouse to look for Lin Shuyue, were also attracted.

  The two of them were listening attentively beside Lin Shuyue.

  When Wang Fahui heard Li Mingfang talking about Long Jingyi's wife, she exclaimed and covered her mouth, and everyone looked at her.

  Wang Fahui said: "I know Long Jingyi's wife. One day, my husband and I came home in the middle of the night and saw Long Jingyi's wife hugging Ran Kangshun. They were right in front of the funeral home."

  Anything that has something to do with matters between men and women is particularly attractive, and everyone's thoughts are immediately diverted.

  "There's a high possibility that the man surnamed Long really killed the person because he found out that his wife was having an affair with Ran Kangshun."

  Nowadays, there are countless people who kill in passion because of being cuckolded. Combined with what Wang Fahui said, the motive for murder was immediately clear.

  "It's possible. Didn't you guys say that before? The one who was supposed to be on duty was Long, but he just happened to die on this day. Maybe he pretended to have a stomachache and then went to kill someone in the middle of the night."

  "I think this is possible nine times out of ten."

  Everyone talked about it and discussed it for a long time, and finally went to play with satisfaction.

  In the evening, a barbecue grill was set up on the beach, and everyone started grilling the skewers. Lin Shuyue finally received a call from Hang Jiabai.

  Hang Jiabai had just finished his work, and the autopsy report of Ran Kangshun had come out: "Ran Kangshun died of cardiac arrest because a large amount of air was injected into his blood vessels."

  As we all know, there cannot be a large amount of air in blood vessels. Once a large amount of air enters the human body, it will hinder blood circulation, and the heart or brain will not be supplied with blood, and sudden death will occur.

  This is the case with Ran Kangshun.

  Lin Shuyue held a string of grilled prawns in her hand and kicked the soft sand under her feet. The night sea breeze ruffled her hair. She took a bite of the prawns and said softly to Hang Jiabai, "Perhaps you can check with Doctor Fu at the Beijiao Hospital."

  Hang Jiabai stopped rubbing his eyebrows. Today, they visited all of Ran Kangshun's social relationships and only found that Long Jingyi's wife had an abnormal relationship with Ran Kangshun. When they went to Long Jingyi's house, Long Jingyi's wife's eyes were swollen and she burst into tears when she mentioned Ran Kangshun's name.

  Before calling Lin Shuyue, Hang Jiabai and his team had already listed Long Jingyi as a key target for investigation, and he had been locked up for interrogation for a long time. They also visited Beijiao Hospital, but Long Jingyi did come to see a doctor yesterday afternoon for enteritis and had two injections in his buttocks.

  It was also a coincidence that the person who saw the patient was the doctor Fu that Lin Shuyue mentioned.

  "Ah Yue, did you find something?"

  Li Mingfang came over and gave Lin Shuyue the roasted zucchini slices. Lin Shuyue took a bite. The sweetness of the zucchini mixed with the taste of the barbecue seasoning was very refreshing. She said, "Doctor Fu had a very close sister. She died in a car accident some time ago. It was Baixun Funeral Home that collected her body."

  Hang Jiabai sat up straight. He had noticed that something was wrong with this funeral home, but what exactly was wrong still needed further investigation.

  "Okay, I'll focus on checking him."

  After hanging up the phone, Hang Jiabai called Jiang Zhou, and the two went to Beijiao Hospital again.

  Doctor Fu was on duty at the time. When he saw Hang Jiabai and the other man, he was not panicked at all: "Wait a moment, officers. I'll be done soon."

  "Take your time. I'm not in a hurry."

  The two sat down outside the ward, and Dr. Fu continued to treat a little girl who suddenly had a high fever and prescribed medicine. The little girl's parents took her away, and Hang Jiabai and the others also came in. When Hang Jiabai asked about the death of his sister Fu Rou, his expression became very sad. When talking about the car accident, Dr. Fu was so sad that he shed tears.

  Halfway through the inquiry, Hang Jiabai received another call from Lin Shuyue, who said on the phone: "I saw a post on the forum that someone died in the funeral home again."

  "It is said that the person who died was the gravekeeper on the mountain. I don't know if it is true or not. You'd better go and verify it."
