Chapter 112: Chapter 52: Discovering the Murderer (Requesting Subscription and Monthly Tickets)
During the meeting, everyone engaged in another round of analysis and discussion about the case.
At seven in the evening, the case discussion finally ended, and it was time to get off work.
Just as Luo Fei left the Criminal Investigation Unit, he received a call from his mother, Wu Yan. Wu Yan asked if Luo Fei would come home for dinner.
Luo Fei told Wu Yan that he would be back soon and then hung up the call.
He was just getting ready to go home and had taken a few steps when suddenly Luo Fei thought of Liu Wei. Liu Wei was the brother-in-law of the deceased, Jin Dayuan. According to what the middle-aged lady had said at noon, Liu Wei should be at the county hospital with his pregnant wife at this time.
Thinking of this, Luo Fei took a right turn at the intersection in front of the Criminal Investigation Unit, heading towards the county hospital to check on Liu Wei.
In less than ten minutes, Luo Fei arrived at the county hospital. He wanted to see the ward where Liu Wei’s wife was staying, but he was stumped; he didn’t know Liu Wei’s wife’s name. Fortunately, he was able to find the ward through the family address on the medical record, Shi Family Village, and learned Liu Wei’s wife’s name, Huang Ying.
Room 526
As Luo Fei arrived at the door of the ward, he heard a man’s voice inside, "Xiao Ying, no matter what, you should eat something. Your health comes first. Our child is gone; if need be, we can adopt one later. But if you don’t eat, your body won’t be able to handle it."
Luo Fei stood at the door and clearly saw the situation inside.
A pale and thin woman in a hospital gown lay on the bed, staring listlessly out the window. A stocky young man with short hair and dark skin was holding a bowl of porridge and earnestly trying to persuade her. It was evident that the young man cared deeply for her.
However, when Luo Fei saw the dark-skinned young man, his expression changed instantly. At that moment, the young man seemed enveloped by a thick black aura. On top of the young man’s head, a sinister black figure was glaring at Luo Fei menacingly. Compared to the figures Luo Fei had seen before, this one was lifelike, almost indistinguishable from a real person.
At that moment, it was almost without thinking that one knew the perpetrator of the Jin Dayuan family massacre was this ordinary yet robust young man in front of him.
But isn’t he Jin Dayuan’s brother-in-law? Why would he murder Jin Dayuan’s entire family? What kind of grudge could be so deep?
"That’s right, Liu Wei’s words seemed to suggest that their child was lost. Could Liu Wei’s sudden decision to kill Jin Dayuan’s entire family be related to this?" Luo Fei thought, recalling Liu Wei’s earlier words.
Confirming that Liu Wei was the perpetrator of the Jin Dayuan family massacre, Luo Fei did not enter the room but cautiously retreated.
"It must be related. Liu Wei was clearly in the hospital caring for his pregnant wife, yet he drove to Peach Blossom Village at night to kill Jin Dayuan’s entire family. This has to be connected to the loss of their child," Luo Fei speculated as he went to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
He found the head of the department, identified himself, and asked to see the attending doctor responsible for Liu Wei’s wife, Huang Ying.
The head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology promptly called the doctor responsible for Liu Wei’s wife to the office.
The attending doctor for Liu Wei’s wife was named Zhao Li, a female doctor around forty years old.
"Dr. Zhao, I want to ask about Liu Wei’s wife, Huang Ying’s situation," Luo Fei eagerly inquired as soon as Zhao Li entered the office.
"This is Luo Fei from the Criminal Investigation Unit, currently investigating a case. Zhao Li, please cooperate with Luo Fei’s work. I have another meeting to attend, so I’ll leave first," the head of the department introduced Luo Fei to Zhao Li and then left the office after greeting Luo Fei.
"Huang Ying?" Zhao Li looked at Luo Fei inquiringly.
"Yes," Luo Fei nodded to confirm.
"Officer, I don’t quite understand what you mean?" Zhao Li shook her head, indicating she didn’t understand Luo Fei’s intent.
Luo Fei reorganized his words, "I heard that Huang Ying lost the baby she was carrying. I want to know what caused the loss of the child."
"Oh, well, Huang Ying miscarried due to a fall. Unfortunately, the child was already six months old and fully formed. But because of an accidental fall, the child was lost. I noticed both Huang Ying and her husband seemed to like children quite a lot. Because of the child’s loss, Huang Ying hasn’t eaten for days, surviving only on glucose drips," Zhao Li said, with a look of sympathy.
"Dr. Zhao, when did Huang Ying’s fall and miscarriage occur?" Luo Fei asked hurriedly.
"It was about half a month ago, around three in the afternoon. Huang Ying’s husband brought her to the hospital," Zhao Li replied.
"Was it Huang Ying’s husband, Liu Wei, who said she fell?" Luo Fei continued questioning.
"Yes, when we asked about the situation, Huang Ying’s husband said that she accidentally fell in the yard."
"Thank you, Dr. Zhao."
"You’re welcome."
"Oh, Dr. Zhao, please do not disclose today’s discussion about Huang Ying’s miscarriage to anyone else. It’s related to our investigation and needs to be kept confidential. I hope you understand."
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret."
Leaving the county hospital, Luo Fei was almost certain in his heart that Liu Wei’s act of killing Jin Dayuan’s entire family was inevitably related to Huang Ying’s miscarriage. Luo Fei suspected that the real cause of Huang Ying’s fall, which led to the miscarriage, was Jin Dayuan, hence why Liu Wei would be driven in anger to wipe out Jin Dayuan’s entire family.
