Chapter 3541: Chapter 3533: A Friend’s Liquor
"Did the ambulance take him away?"
Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
A bad premonition emerged.
"Do you know what caused it?"
He had previously checked Liu Dagang’s pulse; it was just basic elderly illness.
It shouldn’t be a sudden illness.
"I’m not sure, but the head was covered in blood."
"Alright, got it, thanks."
After expressing his gratitude, Lin Yi took his things and left, heading back to his car.
He had been stationed at the east entrance, while Building 27 was closer to the north entrance.
The distance between the two was quite far, so he didn’t notice the ambulance arriving; it’s understandable.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi dialed Miao Guofeng’s number.
He asked him to call the emergency center to check which vehicle had just come to Fenglin Shengjing District.
That way, they could find out which hospital they went to.
After about twenty minutes, Lin Yi received Liu Guofeng’s call.
The ambulance came and took the person to the nearby Railway Hospital.
In Lin Yi’s memory, this hospital had extremely poor conditions.
Hardly anyone went there.
The only surgeries they could perform were appendectomies or simple headaches and fevers.
In this kind of situation, sending someone there speaks volumes.
After hanging up, Lin Yi drove to the Railway Hospital.
The entrance was silent, with only one car parked.
The front of the hospital didn’t have any lights; it was pitch black.
Only the LED lights in front of the main door flashed with an eerie red glow.
After parking the car, Lin Yi rushed inside.
"Who are you looking for?"
The night shift doctor wore slippers, a cigarette in his hand, looking relaxed.
"Is there an old man who’s been sent here?"
"Yeah, he’s on the third floor. Looks like he’s already gone, you should go check."
"Alright."
Lin Yi rushed to the third floor.
He saw Liu Chuanlong, and his wife was there too.
"There’s no point in treating someone who’s already gone! Start preparing the funeral."
"Can you say a little less? He is my dad, after all."
"I can’t believe you are suddenly being filial now."
Liu Chuanlong’s wife was very impatient, showing no signs of sorrow.
Her arms crossed in front of her chest, standing aside.
"Try to get everything done tonight, cremation tomorrow, and sort out the inheritance for the family house."
"We’ll see how the situation unfolds."
"What do you mean by ’see how the situation unfolds’? We’ve been in this damn place long enough. I’m telling you, I can’t stay here one minute longer, we’ve got to sort out the house tomorrow."
"Can you just cut it out?"
Liu Chuanlong raised his voice, his expression turning fierce.
"If you hadn’t shoved my dad, and made his head hit the table, this wouldn’t have happened."
"You heartless thing, make it clear! Did I push him on purpose?"
The woman retorted angrily:
"He’s the useless one. I just nudged him lightly, and he couldn’t stand still. How is that my fault?"
"And, you should be thanking me. There’s nothing wrong with his body. If we wait for him to die naturally, it’d take another ten years at least. Now that he’s gone, the house is ours."
"Alright, I don’t want to hear it anymore. Be quiet."
As they were arguing, they saw Lin Yi appear at the staircase.
Liu Chuanlong instantly recognized him as the district security guard.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just coming to see him."
Lin Yi said nothing else and walked into the ward.
The elderly man’s face was covered with an oxygen mask, with no other emergency equipment.
Lin Yi reached out to touch his wrist.
The pulse was weak and chaotic.
He had felt this type of pulse before.
It’s the pulse of impending death!
Liu Dagang’s wound had already been treated.
Lin Yi gently lifted the bandage, and found a large gash at the temple.
That was obviously the fatal injury.
But Lin Yi’s experience told him, with timely medical attention, it shouldn’t have ended this way.
It’s likely the treatment was delayed.
At this moment, Lin Yi saw the old man’s fingers move slightly.
"You’re awake."
Hearing Lin Yi speak, Liu Chuanlong and his wife came in.
"Dad, you’re awake."
Liu Dagang didn’t look at the two, he kept his gaze on Lin Yi.
"Wine, wine..."
"I haven’t forgotten. I promised to come over for a drink with you today."
The old man smiled.
His eyes were incredibly sincere.
And at that exact moment, Lin Yi saw that the old man’s pupils dilated.
His hand weakly fell to the bedside.
"What’s going on? He just moved, why isn’t he moving now?"
"He’s gone."
Lin Yi’s words hit Liu Chuanlong like a bolt of lightning.
Tears began to flow as he knelt by the bedside.
"Dad..."
Despite living a pitiful life, not being particularly filial.
But in this moment, he couldn’t hold back his tears.
The blood ties made him cry even more sorrowfully.
"Leave the body here for now. Tomorrow morning, I’ll call people to take him away for cremation. If you have any conscience left, cooperate with my people to handle these matters properly," Lin Yi said coldly.
"Understood, thank you."
"And, I heard your conversation earlier. Your wife pushed him and caused the blow to the temple. I will report this to the police; let them deal with it."
Liu Chuanlong’s wife panicked.
"What do you mean? Which eye of yours saw me push him? Stop making false accusations!"
"Whether I’m accusing you falsely, you both know. Even if you deny it, it’s fine; the autopsy will reveal the truth."
Leaving those words, Lin Yi turned away coldly and walked off.
A feeling of powerless emptiness filled his body.
Feeling like his energy and spirit were being drained.
Sitting in the car, rubbing his temples.
His head throbbed terribly.
Silently, he drove back to the district, the dim streetlights silhouetting his unsmiling face.
Upon returning, Lin Yi arrived at Liu Dagang’s door.
Taking the wire he found in the car, he picked the lock of the security door.
Once inside, he discovered the house had changed significantly.
Though it was still simple, everything was cleaned up nicely.
There was no unpleasant smell anymore.
He had listened to his words.
Did his best to make the house spotless.
Lin Yi saw bloodstains at the corner of the table.
Instinctively, he guessed.
The fatal injury likely happened there.
Because treatment was delayed, he passed away.
Then, Lin Yi noticed two bottles of Erguotou on the kitchen stove.
One bottle was blue, priced at 32 yuan.
The other was transparent, costing 12 yuan.
Lin Yi guessed that these were the drinks he had bought, planning to share tonight.
Next to the alcohol, there was half a watermelon.
Covered with cling film, seemingly also recently purchased.
Perhaps planning to eat it while drinking.
Holding two bottles of baijiu.
One costing 32 yuan, the other 12 yuan.
From this, it’s clear the 32 yuan bottle was meant for Lin Yi.
The 12 yuan one was for himself.
Two bottles of baijiu with different prices, half a watermelon covered with cling film.
This was his way of hospitality.
Also the dignity the old man held tightly.
