Lu Yiwei stood in front of the window and stared at everything that was happening in the hospital. It was as if he had seen an executioner kill someone with his own eyes. He was horrified and trembling. Here, people respectfully called "angels in white" carried out dirty transactions driven by profit. In their eyes, the injured were worthless, but the value they produced was supreme. When morality was drowned by the stench of money, and the soul was imprisoned by the devil, the words "heal the wounded and rescue the dying" engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance had been washed away by the storm. The word "conscience" had long lost its value and became a tool for them to obtain huge profits. The lancet in their hands was stained with blood and solidified on the pillar of shame of their conscience.
An extremely complicated expression appeared on Lu Yiwei's face. He could not help but clench his fists. He really wanted to rush in and snatch the scalpel from the quack's hand to let the injured live, but with his strength alone, how could he save them? He observed that there were security guards patrolling the entrance of the hospital. When entering, all kinds of procedures were very strict. It was very difficult for strangers to enter.
About an hour later, a person ran out in a panic and waved at the van. The van quickly started the engine and reversed to the entrance of the emergency room. Someone immediately lifted the back of the van. After a while, a few people carried something covered with white cloth and stuffed it into the van. They quickly jumped into the van and drove out of the entrance. They were very familiar with the process, and their cooperation was seamless. Needless to say, the person covered with white cloth was most likely the injured person who had just been carried in.
"Let's go!" Lu Yiwei threw the cigarette away and ran down the stairs with Li Ermao. He started the car and followed the direction of the van.
As they were following too closely, the van seemed to have noticed something unusual. Taking advantage of the momentum, he left them behind in just a few steps. Although they did not find the exact location, they had a general direction. Lu Yiwei decided not to follow them and turned back.
It was easy to get in, but not so easy to get out. Just as they reached a junction, they saw a car parked on the road with its high beam headlights on.
"Oh no!" Lu Yiwei realized that he was in danger, but it was his first time here and he was unfamiliar with the place. He could not escape even if he wanted to. Li Ermao remained calm and said, "Brother Yiwei, get out of the car now. I'll deal with it."
How could Lu Yiwei leave Second Hair alone, so he said, "Don't panic, act according to the situation."
Li Ermao stopped the car in front of him. A few men quickly surrounded him, and Lu Yiwei took a closer look. One of them was Cripple, who had been chatting with him previously.
The man walked over and roughly opened the car door to pull Li Ermao out. After Lu Yiwei got out, he exchanged glances with Cripple and wittily said, "Brother, you've helped me a lot."
Cripple also recognized Lu Yiwei and stared with wide eyes. "Aren't you …"
"Yes, we've talked before." Lu Yiwei quickly said, "Didn't I contact you last time? The one we're dealing with today is from our mine."
Cripple was skeptical and lowered his head to take a look at the license plate. "Don't try to fool me. The one that came today is from our province. Your license plate is obviously from Xijiang Province."
Lu Yiwei smiled calmly. "Who said that people from Xijiang can't come to your place to open a coal mine? Quite a few of our fellow townsmen are here. "
"Oh, then what's the name of your coal mine?" Cripple asked in disbelief.
This question stumped Lu Yiwei. However, he had been understanding the situation there for the past few days, so he casually made up a name. "Liujiagou Coal Mine."
"What?" Cripple asked with his eyes wide open.
Lu Yiwei thought, This is bad. What the f * ck should I do? In a moment of desperation, he pulled Cripple to the side and whispered, "Do you know County Magistrate Zhao?"
"Which County Magistrate Zhao?"
"Who else? Your county's Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Yongsheng."
"Of course I know him," Cripple said proudly. "We're close brothers."
Lu Yiwei immediately said, "To tell you the truth, I'm also a friend of County Magistrate Zhao. Should I give him a call now?"
Cripple hesitated. "Since you're a friend of County Magistrate Zhao, we're all on the same side. The question is, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? "
Lu Yiwei deliberately raised his voice. "I just had a drink with County Magistrate Zhao and wanted to go back to Xijiang. My driver is a newbie and doesn't know the way, so I got lost. I saw a car in front of me and planned to follow it for a while, but I lost track of it. So I gave County Magistrate Zhao a call and he said he would send someone over to help us send it out. "
"Really?" Cripple obviously didn't believe Lu Yiwei's lies.
"If you don't believe me, I'll give County Magistrate Zhao a call right now," Lu Yiwei said bravely as he took out his phone.
"Forget it, forget it!" Cripple waved his hand. "To Xijiang, you should be going in that direction. You're going in the opposite direction. Let's go." As he said that, he waved at the few men and made way for them.
Lu Yiwei stuffed a carton of cigarettes into Cripple's hands. "Brothers, you've worked hard. Take it."
Cripple completely put down his thoughts and took the cigarette. "Next time you see County Magistrate Zhao, please send my regards."
"No problem."
The car drove past, and Lu Yiwei broke out in a cold sweat. Li Ermao sped up, and Lu Yiwei told him to slow down so that he wouldn't reveal any flaws. If the other party continued to ask, he might give himself away.
Since he couldn't return to the hotel, Lu Yiwei returned to Shiwan Village overnight.
After a night of careful thinking, he felt that the crematorium was a breakthrough point. Only by getting the original data could he prove the existence of a person's death. But what should he do? Since the other party was so vigilant and knew him, it was impossible to go back. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
The trail ended there. He already knew the result, but he couldn't get to the truth of the matter. Lu Yiwei was so anxious that he got angry. During this period of time, his abnormal actions made the people in the agency feel that he was unfathomable. They all thought that he was running around for his career and pulling strings.
Since there was no progress, Lu Yiwei decided to take another risk and continue to investigate.
This time, he was relatively thorough. He covered the car plate and quietly went to Wild Fox Village. He found a relatively secluded hotel and stayed there.
He had planned to ask the hotel owner about the situation, but he didn't expect the owner to take the initiative to look for him. He said with a smile, "Boss, are you coming to our Wild Fox Village for a business trip or?"
Lu Yiwei didn't know the other party's background and said warily, "Yes, a business trip."
"Don't try to fool me," the owner said in disbelief. "Looking at your attire, you look like a coal boss. Are you going to the hospital for work? "
Since the other party said it so bluntly, Lu Yiwei didn't plan to hide it and said, "Yes, it's a small matter."
The owner's face lit up and said with a smile, "Boss, you look like a straightforward person. Is this your first time here, or did someone pull some strings?"
Lu Yiwei heard the other party's intention and said, "First time."
The owner immediately said, "If you need it, I can do it for you. Don't worry, the price is definitely lower than others, and I have all the necessary procedures. "
From his words, it was obvious that this job had become a local industry chain, and everyone was making money from the dead. Lu Yiwei felt that the owner was a breakthrough, and then asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone at the crematorium?"
"Yes!" The owner patted his chest and said, "My son is working at the crematorium, don't worry about it."
Lu Yiwei saw a glimmer of hope, and he decided to stabilize the other party first. After chatting with the owner for a while, both of them got to know each other better. Lu Yiwei also asked, "Boss, I have a question. So your Wild Fox Village also has a crematorium, is it not the same as the County's?"
"It is the same!" The owner said straightforwardly, "We are a subsidiary of the County's funeral parlor. You also know that the higher-ups do not allow private funeral parlors, but everything can be changed by bypassing the policy. In name, it is a subsidiary, but in fact, it is contracted to an individual, and the benefits are very good. My son's annual bonus is tens of thousands. "
"What is your son's main responsibility?"
"He is mainly in charge of logistics. He used to be on the frontline, and he was guarding a furnace every day. I felt that it was too unlucky, so I got someone to adjust it. But don't worry, everything can be settled. "The owner said confidently.
Lu Yiwei did not know if the owner was trustworthy, but he decided to take a gamble. "Boss, to be honest, I do have a small matter that I need your help with. Don't worry, money is not a problem. As long as you can help me, everything is negotiable. "
Hearing the other party being so forthright, the owner said, "As long as it is not arson or murder, I will help."
Lu Yiwei said, "It's like this. A while ago, someone died in my mine, and he was cremated here. But at that time, I was in a hurry and did not leave any original documents. Now, the victim's family is here, and they are forcing me to ask for this and that, saying that we are lying. I can't explain it, so I can only find evidence of the cremation to explain everything. "
"What is it called? When was it? "
"I'm not sure. It should be around April."
"Damn, this is going to be difficult." The owner frowned. "Our crematorium here is more popular than the restaurant, and we have no idea how many people are cremated every day. If you don't name it, how can I find it for you?"
"Why don't you get the April crematorium?"
"You must be dreaming." The owner said, "Do you think the crematorium is owned by my family? How can we get these things so easily? It's not easy. "
Lu Yiwei took a step back and said, "How about this, you get all the April crematorium from Nanyang County. That should be enough, right?"
"This, this …" The owner rubbed his chin and thought.
Lu Yiwei knew what the owner was thinking, and said, "Name a price."
"I won't do it if it's less than 30,000."
"Alright, as you wish." Lu Yiwei said, "Give me the money and the items."
