At this moment, Tan Caixing's ghost flashed in again. When he came to the hospital bed, he saw Zhen Xinglong, who had been lowering his head, raised his head, leaned close to Qian Fufang's ear and whispered, "Why don't you admit it?" Just say that you sent me up the mountain to find my mother to pay back the money.
Qian Fufang also whispered, can I admit it? Yesterday I had a dream while sleeping in the ward of Jundu County People's Hospital at noon. I heard you said that if I don't pay back the money, my illness will not be cured. Besides, you didn't kill the old woman. If you had killed her, no one would have boiled water to water the scarecrow, and the sores on my body wouldn't have been so severe.
You are stupid. You returned the money to your mother yesterday afternoon, but your illness has not improved at all. The police just brought the money back to you, you should want it. As for not paying back the debt when you have money in the future, pay it back if you are in a good mood, and don't pay it if you are in a bad mood. Besides, there is no IOU, so you don't have to pay it back at that time. Zhen Xinglong smartly blamed her for losing the great opportunity of the police to refund her mother's money.
Qian Fufang felt stupid after being enlightened by her husband, and regretted it. Then he whispered, Xinglong, chase him out quickly. The three policemen haven't gone far yet and they want the 4,000 yuan back.
The sitting Zhen Xinglong nodded, immediately stood up, turned around and went out to chase the three policemen.
The three police officers had already gotten off the elevator and exited the first floor, and were walking towards the police cars parked at the berth at the edge of the hospital grounds. Deputy Director Gu walked in front, took out the sensor key and pressed it. The police car made a beeping sound and then stopped. Before he could open the door, he heard a male voice calling Director Gu.
He looked back and saw that it was none other than the man who sat beside the bed in the ward where Qian Fufang was hospitalized and kept his head bowed in silence - Qian Fufang's husband Zhen Xinglong.
At this moment, Deputy Director Gu looked at the timid Zhen Xinglong who looked a bit wretched strangely and asked, "What's the matter?"
Something happened, something happened. Zhen Xinglong, who had already approached Deputy Director Gu, nodded and bowed.
Why didn't you tell me something happened when we were in the ward just now? The square-faced policeman looked at him strangely and asked.
I didn't think about it well, but I think about it now. Zhen Xinglong replied.
To make a long story short, we have to rush back to Jundu County. Deputy Director Gu stretched out his hand to open the car door, then stopped and looked at him.
Zhen Xinglong was about to speak, but the sound of car horns on the street was particularly harsh, and he remained silent for a while.
The round-faced policeman opened the back seat door and looked at Deputy Director Gu for advice. Director Gu told him to sit in the car and forget it. There were too many people and cars outside and it was too noisy.
OK. As Deputy Director Gu said, he opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and closed the door. The square-faced policeman in the passenger seat and the round-faced policeman in the back seat also closed the doors one after another, and the car seemed much quieter.
Deputy Director Gu turned his body and looked back. To the right of the round-faced policeman was sitting an uneasy Zhen Xinglong, and motioned for him to speak.
Zhen Xinglong said, Director Gu, I'm sorry. When you asked about my wife's condition in the ward, I didn't speak because I was worried.
what do you want to say? Any concerns?
I want to say that I paid the 4,000 yuan debt to Hou Jinzhi’s mother on behalf of my wife. The reason why I and my wife refused to admit it when you asked me at first was because I was afraid of losing face. The debt was owed for too long and should have been paid long ago. It has been delayed until now, that is, yesterday afternoon. Let others know, how embarrassing it is!
After hearing this, Deputy Director Gu pondered for a long time and then asked, your wife suffers from such a serious skin disease, and it is said that she bought the ticket yesterday. Your wife still has something to worry about going out of the city to Houzhuang, Wujinshan Town, which is dozens of kilometers away. Ask that mother to pay back the money? What's more, your mother is not at home and is collecting firewood on the mountain behind the house. How can you and your sick wife have the patience to go up the mountain to find your mother to pay back the money?
I heard from my mother that she only saw a young man who helped her pick bundles of firewood. She didn’t see or mention your wife at all. I still don’t know if the young person she mentioned is you.
Zhen Xinglong didn't know how to give an appropriate answer, so he said bravely that the 4,000 yuan in debt was indeed paid back to his mother by me on behalf of his wife.
Deputy Director Gu calmly said that this cannot be confirmed unless my mother identifies it as you on the spot, but my mother said that she was confused at the time and had no idea who put the 4,000 yuan in her right pocket. , that is to say, even if the descendant whom my mother mentioned was you, she has no idea whether the 4,000 yuan was given to her by the descendant, because she was confused and did not see the descendant after she woke up.
Based on this analysis of the situation, even if my mother is present and identifies you as the descendant, she still cannot confirm that the money was given to her by you. There must be something fishy in this, and we will continue to investigate.
Zhen Xinglong also felt that he could not justify himself, because Qian Fufang had a nightmare yesterday afternoon. In the dream, he learned that his mother boiled water and poured water on the scarecrow, which made her even more sick. It was not possible or easy to talk about it.
Because Qian Fufang was afraid, she insisted on asking him to go to the countryside with her to find her mother to repay the money. However, something changed and when she saw that her mother was not at home, she went up the mountain to look for her. The true circumstances of their attempted murder of her mother cannot be told.
Hearing Deputy Director Gu say that he wanted to continue the investigation, he felt frightened, but immediately calmed down. He knew clearly: Although there was an attempt to murder his mother, only he and his wife knew about it. Even if God knew, the earth knew, God knows, ghost knows, they can't report it, it doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to continue dating the police, so he directly told the real purpose of chasing the police: Director Gu, listen to you, that mother was kind-hearted and knew that my wife was sick and hospitalized and needed money, so she was willing to give me money. The money returned to her will be returned to me and used for my wife's medical expenses, so that we can pay it back later when we have money.
Deputy Director Gu understood what he meant and said coldly, "Just dream!" Didn't I say that it's still unclear whether you gave the 4,000 yuan to my mother? Why do you want us police officers to refund the money on my behalf? Are you trying to blackmail me?
Director Gu, handcuff him. The square-faced policeman in the passenger seat had been listening. He felt that Zhen Xinglong still wanted to play the police's tricks, and he had already felt resentment in his heart. He reached out and took out the shiny handcuffs from his bag and shook them at him.
I think there must be something wrong with you. The round-faced policeman turned sideways and looked at Zhen Xinglong sitting next to him.
I didn't do anything bad, just saying a word, does it count as blackmail? Forget it, I don’t want the 4,000 yuan. Zhen Xinglong reached out and pushed open the car door while talking. How could he dare to sit for more? He got out of the car immediately, eager to escape from the police's sight.
This 4,000 yuan is not yours in the first place. If you say so, you are being dishonest. The square-faced policeman put the handcuffs back into his bag and said reluctantly.
The source of this 4,000 yuan is unknown. We will continue to investigate. If we find that there is something wrong with this guy, we will find him to settle the account. Deputy Director Gu started the police car as he spoke.
The police car turned around in the field, honked its horn, and slowly drove out of the hospital gate along the exit, then merged into the rolling traffic, like a wave of waves rushing into the depths of the city.
At this moment, Zhen Xinglong, who regretted not calling the police after being rejected, has not returned to the ward. He just came out of the elevator and walked slowly. He didn't want to walk fast because he was thinking about how to answer his wife Qian Fu. Fang is good, but I haven't thought about it well.
He was thinking: Qian Fufang expected him to catch up with the police and get the 4,000 yuan back, but he returned empty-handed. Although Qian Fufang was sick and in pain, he still complained endlessly.
Originally, I was a little annoyed when I asked for leave to accompany my wife to see a doctor. If my wife still scolded him for the money, I would feel even worse.
As he was almost approaching the door of the ward, Zhen Xinglong finally came up with a good idea, which was to tell his wife directly and go down from the 12th floor without chasing the police. Only when he walked out of the door of the first floor did he see the police car just driving away.
Unexpectedly, this idea did not work, that is to say, it was of no use.
Zhen Xinglong entered the ward and approached Qian Fufang's bed and found that she had fallen asleep. She seemed to be sleeping deeply and snoring lightly.
She was seen leaning sideways, with her slightly curved back facing the aisle, and her face covered with sores facing the wall. There are two bold words on the wall: Quiet.
Zhen Xinglong had never cared about it, but now it was particularly disturbing. His throat suddenly felt itchy and he had to endure a cough. He couldn't help it, so he raised his hand to touch his mouth, turned around and ran to the corridor outside the door, coughing freely and uninhibitedly.
After that, I went in and saw patients and their family members in other beds. None of them were taking a nap. If they were packing things, they also consciously handled them with care and did not make any noise.
Some people have to make noise when going to the toilet, so they close the toilet door tightly. The sound sounds vague and indistinct, and will not disturb the quiet atmosphere created in the ward.
But this quiet atmosphere was soon broken. Zhen Xinglong, other patients and their families all heard and saw that Qian Fufang, who was sleeping deeply, was talking in his sleep - I'm sorry, I was wrong, I must admit my guilt. forgive me! Can this disgusting skin disease like me with sores all over my body be cured...
This sleep talk was heard by other patients and their families, and they all felt baffled. Zhen Xinglong heard the trick, but it made him tremble because Qian Fufang did not repay the money he owed Hou Jinzhi. Yesterday, he was forced to return the money to her mother out of helplessness and fear, and the money Fufang had evil intentions before, hoping that by instigating herself to murder Hou Jinzhi's mother, she could kill two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, he can avoid the debt; on the other hand, no one will boil water to pour on the scarecrow. In that case, Qian Fufang's sores can be cured without treatment. Her wishful thinking was very good, but her condition has worsened, which is not what she expected.
Qian Fufang was talking in her sleep, but she didn't know what she encountered in her dream, and Zhen Xinglong couldn't guess it either. He even wanted to answer his wife when she was talking in her sleep, but he was afraid.
I remember that in the early years when my grandmother was still alive, she often told her grandchildren, including him: You must remember that whenever someone talks in sleep, you must not answer. If the answer is correct and the dreamer says that you are going to die, then it will really come true.
As for whether that was the case, Zhen Xinglong didn't know, but he believed what grandma said was for the good of their future generations. He would rather believe that this is true than take the risk of trying to answer the person who is talking in his sleep. Even if the person who is talking in his sleep is his wife, he must hold still and not say anything.
