Chapter 869: Chapter 859: Visit and News

"Consultant Su, please describe in detail what happened that night!"

In the VIP ward, a police officer unfamiliar to Su Qing stood nearby and asked. Next to him were several leaders from the East City Public Security Bureau’s administrative departments, including a deputy director whom Su Qing had seen giving a speech at a commendation ceremony. They were all present in the ward at the moment.

Even personnel from the Criminal Investigation Division had come over. Li Zijun and Du Qiang stood at the doorway, active in the living room.

When they heard he was finally awake, it was natural for the police station to send people over, partly as representatives expressing concern, because after all, this could be considered a work-related injury. On the other hand, they were there to take his statement.

Considering the gravity of the situation, since he was the first to discover the target, even though he was a consultant, the necessary procedures had to be followed, just as if he were a formal police employee.

"That day, I thought since the killer murdered both Zhao Dongyang and Liu Chunbao, it must be for revenge. So I felt the killer might return to Qingshu Village. After mentioning it to Captain Lin, I stayed there.

Initially, I was sitting in the car, and it was raining outside. But suddenly, I heard what seemed like a motorcycle outside. I drove a short distance forward and found motorcycle marks at the junction leading to Sanhe Village Primary School. I immediately got out, and finally discovered a motorcycle lying on the ground at the abandoned primary school entrance.

I went in to look around and found footprints and bloodstains at a classroom door, knowing something was up, I then ran out to report!"

As he spoke, the police officer took notes.

"So, you didn’t see the killer inside the classroom?" the officer asked.

Su Qing nodded with a bitter smile: "I was scared at the time, where would I dare to push the door? After all, the person inside must be a desperado. With my little arms and legs, I should leave it to professionals."

"So why did you faint at the school gate?"

"Maybe I’m just not well physically. I’m not quite sure. I just felt my heart race, everything went black, and I was powerless. After reporting the location to Captain Lin, I knew nothing more!" Su Qing said candidly.

He indeed did not push the door to meet the killer, and what he said was all factual. His fainting wasn’t caused by the killer either.

Soon, his statement was completed, and since it was in the hospital, no one discussed the case details with him.

"Comrade Su, you handled this very well. We represent our bureau in offering our condolences; rest well!" The deputy director came to the bedside and spoke kindly.

Though the tone was bureaucratic, it was understandable since he was a leader. It was quite decent of them to come to inquire.

"Director Zhang, you’re being polite. This is what I should do!" Su Qing smiled.

Then Vice Director Zhang shook hands with him and moved to the ward’s living room, exchanged warm words with his mother Zhou Hui, and finally left.

Once Director Liu and the others departed, Du Qiang and Li Zijun hurried forward.

"Look, this is the result of not bringing me along. With me there, how could you face such a situation? I, your brother Qiang, have learned authentic arresting skill. You tried to show off, but it went wrong, didn’t it!" Du Qiang approached, seeing him fine, showing a face of schadenfreude.

He was quite grudging about Su Qing not taking him to the scene that day. Such show-off tasks, if he had encountered, everyone at the bureau meeting him would surely give a thumbs-up, wouldn’t they?

But before he finished speaking, Li Zijun slapped him away: "Get lost, you attention-seeker. If you had gone along, I fear there wouldn’t be just one person lying here now!"

Li Zijun glared at Du Qiang and then sat on the chair at the bedside: "Is your body really okay?"

"No problem. Don’t you trust me? If mom and little Yi weren’t stopping me, I’d be discharged by now!" Su Qing, wearing a patient’s gown, actually looked quite fit.

After sleeping for so long, his spirits weren’t in bad shape.

Having eaten, he was now feeling better. His fever had mostly subsided.

Hearing this, Li Zijun gave him a meaningful look: "Better have a thorough checkup at the hospital. Had I not asked Aunt Hui, I’d have thought you were kidding me.

How could you faint out of nowhere? Is your body really that weak?"

Indeed, that’s what Li Zijun and Shen Yi worried about. Others may not feel it, but those close to Su Qing sensed something unusual.

No external attack, no shock, how could he suddenly faint?

As for overwhelming grief? Joking. It could only be possible if the killer was someone dearly loved by Su Qing. Knowing the truth, he couldn’t accept it, but the person was merely a primary school classmate not contacted for eight hundred years. Moreover, as Su Qing stated, he just circled the entrance and left. They didn’t even meet, implying he didn’t know the killer’s identity.

Under such circumstances, how could he be strongly affected?

Given this, his fainting was confusing, and that’s what worried Li Zijun and Shen Yi, fearing he has some unknown physical issues.

"Sister Jun, you’re attacking me personally now! Your brother’s body is healthy, and everything tastes delightful!" Su Qing felt his dignity was insulted and hurriedly spoke.

"Alright, you know your own frailty. Look at you, tall yet lacking strength? You rarely exercise, expecting good health?" Li Zijun looked at Su Qing disdainfully.

By rights, Su Qing’s build should be considered slim. But undeniably, he was somewhat thin, with a flat stomach. Despite not having a large belly, he also lacked abs, let alone Du Qiang, an officer who occasionally showed off muscles.

For both Li Zijun and Du Qiang, as criminal police officers, they had training tasks. Naturally, their physique was impressive.

Compared to them, Su Qing must admit he was indeed weaker.

"Here, have some. These cherries and strawberries I usually don’t indulge in," Li Zijun took out the fruits she brought, placing them on display.

Visiting someone in a hospital ward, how could one come empty-handed?

"Wow, Sister Jun, you’re generous—got rich?"

"I didn’t get rich!" As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of cherries herself before letting Su Qing have them.

Su Qing: ...

"By the way, do you know who the killer is?" Li Zijun asked after spitting out the pit.

Su Qing shook his head: "I’ve already said, I didn’t see the person. How could I know who they were?"

"You actually guessed right; he is your classmate!" Beside them, Du Qiang also took out fruit, broke off a banana, and started munching.

Honestly, Su Qing strongly suspected that these two graduated from the same police academy. Though the fruits were brought by them, they were meant for him; they munched them so shamelessly!

The same master taught them; no way to counter! Truly, mouths wielded here!

Su Qing, though anticipating, still feigned surprise, looking at Li Zijun: "Really? Who is it!"

Li Zijun glared at Du Qiang and spoke: "Bai Longsheng, do you remember?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Su Qing’s face paused, suddenly recalling the person—a thin, short guy with somewhat delicate features.

The man’s leg was slightly disabled, walking with a limp. He still clearly remembered when that group transferred, mentioning Bai Longsheng to his mom, Zhou Hui, who instantly commented, ’Nice name, Bai Longsheng, the child of Bai Longsheng, impressive!’

"So, it was him. Then he..."

"Dead. By the time we arrived, he had no breath. He drank poison, suffered two knife wounds, and extensive injuries from falls. To say, making it from Dalincun required sheer willpower!

When we sent him to the hospital, just one look from the doctor, they gave up on resuscitation!" Li Zijun spoke somewhat ruefully.

"Ah~~" Su Qing sighed, a bit at a loss for words.

Seeing him like this, Li Zijun chuckled: "Alright then, according to his note, at least he avenged himself. No regrets now. When my mentor and they went in, heard he was even drinking wine, well-rounded after all.

Of course, not without good news, when I came today, I heard Zhao Dongyang’s family and Liu Chunbao’s family have confessed everything, acknowledging their crimes and additionally exposed Miao Fang and her son extorting for compensation. The results should bring great relief!"

Hearing this, Su Qing nodded, indeed it was good news.

"Brother, get ready, time for an examination!"

At this moment, Shen Yi walked in, speaking.
