Seeing that I had woken up, he said happily, "It seems you've recovered quite a bit. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to be discharged tomorrow!"
"That's great. I've been feeling a bit numb for a long time. I'm glad you're finally telling me this!"
"Haha, I knew Officer He was impatient. But it's for your health. Here's some medicine. After taking this dose, continue for another week after you're discharged tomorrow, and you shouldn't relapse!"
I took the medicine and said politely, "Thank you, Dr. Dong!"
"It's nothing. For any patient who comes to us, regardless of their status, I will do my best to cure them!"
With that, Dr. Dong left. I took the medicine alone and fell asleep.
The next day, as arranged, Cheng Haoran came to pick me up at nine o'clock. While we were eating, Cheng Haoran asked about my recent cases. When I mentioned the Donghang hu7377, Cheng Haoran seemed very interested. He swallowed his noodles directly and said, "I see a lot about it on the news, but I've never encountered such a case. Did you really fly on that plane?"
"Of course. We even apprehended several women, but we are still investigating to figure out what exactly happened."
"Ah, can you reveal more details about the case?"
"No, this is police confidential information. It will be kept secret until it's solved!"
"Uh, alright. I was just curious. Anyway, I'm not a police officer anymore, so knowing more is useless." Cheng Haoran rubbed his chin, his beady eyes darting around. He still had that bad habit of looking at people with a strange gaze.
I remembered that in college, he was good at psychology and forensics, but since he didn't pursue that line of work, he'd forgotten most of it. I was curious how he had achieved such a level of medical expertise now, given he hadn't studied medicine before. Perhaps it was just talent!
This time, we didn't have a lavish meal. Instead, like in college, we ate our favorite late-night snack, Shaxian Delicacies. I had wontons with soup and dumplings, while he had dumplings and fried noodles.
Looking at the familiar food before us, our minds drifted back to our days at the police academy.
Oh, a side note, I was actually in the forensic medicine faculty, but our school was right next door. I remembered how much I enjoyed meeting people from the police academy back then. Coupled with the reputation of my grandfather and father, many people naturally wanted to get to know me. This is how I became close friends with many people during my university years.
Although Cheng Haoran wasn't as close to me as Gao Mingqiang, besides Mingqiang, he was one of my best buddies back then.
When I felt it was time, I informed He Xin and Yu Ning. Gao Mingqiang, knowing that Cheng Haoran and I were eating, immediately came to join the fun. The three of us chatted for a while. It wasn't until I returned to the provincial department that I informed everyone about the recent developments.
Upon learning that I had been framed by Gongsun Hao, the entire provincial department was investigating him.
But I still couldn't understand why he didn't deal with me directly back then and instead sent me back.
Could there be some hidden secret behind this?
However, I was safe now. It was our turn to apprehend Gongsun Hao.
I quickly obtained the wanted poster and then contacted all major police stations, public security bureaus, and police departments to cooperate with us. Even if Gongsun Hao had turned to ashes, we would find him.
During the process, Yuan Hezhu said while typing on the keyboard, "This person is Gongsun Jiayi's brother. These two brothers probably cooperated with the organization before. Now Gongsun Hao's medical skills have likely attracted the attention of the 'Punishing Heavens' again. Alas, what ignorant criminals. Don't they even know they're being manipulated?"
"Gongsun Hao's so-called medical skills are not healing arts, but harmful sorcery. The chip he left in me is here. Technical team, please analyze it!" I took out the chip from the evidence bag. Dr. Dong had removed it during surgery, and I had kept it. After the technical team processed it, Xie Chuchu, Ling Xiaotao, and Zhang Keying arrived. Seeing that I was fine, they all inquired about my condition. I patted my chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't fall so easily."
"You say that, but weren't you released by them this time?" Xie Chuchu asked curiously.
"Fortunately, Xia Xiaoling is okay. But where are her people?"
Speaking of her, Xia Xiaoling was brought out of my office by Liu Yuning. Both of them were a bit emotional when they saw me.
"You mentioned poison earlier, have you gotten rid of it now?" Xia Xiaoling said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. Have you investigated Ni Xuele's home again?" I looked at Liu Yuning.
She nodded. "She escaped, and we're still looking for her. But Ni Xuele's home is truly terrifying. The basement must have been a mass grave before. There were so many mummified corpses, and most of them were women. We spent a day and a night cleaning it up, but the identities of the bodies have all been confirmed. They were all kept in the morgue of a crematorium before. Ni Xuele's house was formerly a crematorium. I don't know when it was converted into a house. I suspect Ni Xuele's husband's profession is very problematic..."
Before Liu Yuning could finish, He Xin interjected, "We've found out. Ni Xuele's husband was previously the owner of a crematorium, but for some reason, he suddenly closed it down. Then he converted his house like this. It's likely he started having issues around that time..."
"After that, he became possessed and got on that plane, and the plane crashed. It seems there were two other families with similar situations..." Yuan Hezhu added.
"What about the other two women now?" I asked.
"They are still in detention. However, we investigated their homes, and they are not like Ni Xuele's. If I'm not mistaken, their situations are not as severe."
"That's good. One such family is already enough to deal with. If there were three of them, I can't even imagine."
I rubbed my throbbing temples. So, besides apprehending Gongsun Hao, the other task was to capture Ni Xuele.
A large number of investigators were constantly searching and patrolling outside. Since I had seen this scoundrel, finding him was a targeted effort.
What I found curious was, didn't Xia Xiaoling fall with me at that time? Why was she completely unharmed? Could it be that she was very skilled and found an exit herself and jumped out?
