When Lan Mu regained consciousness, the first thing he smelled was a familiar smell. When he opened his eyes, he saw a white ward.
He saw that he was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip in his right hand. He adjusted his state of mind and moved his body upward until he finally sat up on the bed.
There were other beds opposite the bed. This was not a single ward.
After thinking for a while, Lan Mu raised his left hand and wanted to press the bell to call the nurse. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw that his left arm had been professionally bandaged. However, this also reminded him that this was a gunshot wound. Obviously, it had not healed yet.
He had no choice but to ask for help from the patient lying on the opposite bed.
"Hello, can you please call the nurse for me?"
Unexpectedly, after he asked, the man on the opposite bed pretended not to hear him. He lay down and pretended to be asleep.
He clearly saw him peeking at him just now!
"What's going on?"
Lan Mu did not know what was going on. He could only move his right hand that was being injected and press the bell with difficulty.
Soon after, the nurse walked in and saw that he was awake. She immediately smiled and said, "You're finally awake!"
After that, the nurse helped him put his hand back in place and checked the medicine bottle. Then, she directly walked out of the door.
"Eh? Wait! Don't go! Can I ask... Who saved me? How long have I been lying here? When can I be discharged? "Lan Mu saw that she was about to leave and hurriedly asked.
The nurse turned around and said, "You were sent here yesterday morning. It's just one day now. You have to ask the doctor when you can be discharged. Also, someone will come to ask you questions soon. "
Lan Mu saw that she was in a hurry and felt a little strange. However, when he thought of his gunshot wound, he immediately understood.
"It seems that the police will be here soon."
However, ten minutes later, the first to enter the ward was a lineup of reporters.
The lineup of reporters was very simple. It was a female reporter and a male follower. The male follower was responsible for taking photos with a digital camera. The female reporter was dressed in professional attire with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. She held a recording pen and said to him, "Mr. Lan, hello. I'm a reporter from Fu Zhou City Daily. My name is Qin Yu. Is the shooting related to the latest poaching case? "
Lan Mu couldn't help but laugh. This was an interrogative interview that he was very familiar with. They went straight to the topic at the beginning and didn't give you much room to dodge. Almost every sentence was a question: Yes or no.
"Reporter Qin, right? Can I see your press pass first? "
Qin Yu was stunned. She took out her reporter's pass from her pocket and hung it around her neck. Lan Mu glanced at it and knew that she was indeed from the Fu Zhou Metropolis Daily. She was also a reporter just like him. However, Lan Mu was also an editor at the same time. Sometimes, he could reject some off-the-record interviews.
"Mr. Lan, can you answer my question now?" Qin Yu seemed to be very eager and looked at Lan Mu expectantly.
Lan Mu adjusted his sitting posture and said, "What's the problem? Can I ask again? "
Qin Yu took a deep breath and asked the question again.
"The shooting, um, I was indeed shot." Lan Mu answered slowly.
Qin Yu was very patient. She asked again, "Is it related to the latest poaching case?"
Lan Mu didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "What do you mean by the latest poaching case? Only the police can confirm this, right? By the way, when will the police come? "
Qin Yu seemed to be inexperienced and was quickly led astray. She answered, "They should be here soon. Hey, please answer the question directly, Mr. Lan. "
Lan Mu smiled. He could see that Qin Yu was a newbie. She was probably the kind that had just been promoted. He thought that all the interviewees were ordinary residents. For a wily old fox like him, he didn't have enough experience.
Not only did Qin Yu not get any answers after asking for a long time, but she was also led astray by Lan Mu several times. Instead, she was asked a few questions by Lan Mu.
Just as Qin Yu was gnashing her teeth in anger, the police finally arrived. Four policemen walked into the ward and surrounded Lan Mu's bed in an instant.
"Huh? Reporter Qin is here? I'm sorry, we have a few questions to ask. Can you leave first? "
As soon as the policemen came in, the leader immediately asked Qin Yu to leave.
Qin Yu was also thin-skinned. She actually replied with an "oh" and left.
Lan Mu smiled. He knew that the police's questions couldn't be avoided, and there was no need to avoid them. Moreover, he also wanted to catch the poachers!
"Mr. Lan, we have more or less understood your personal information. Please tell us the reason why you were shot."
Naturally, Lan Mu told him everything that had happened. He recounted how he had been pushed down the mountain, how he had discovered the poachers, how he had almost died, and how he had managed to escape with his life.
Of course, he didn't mention anything about his transformation. However, he had seen the white lion's story, so he had to say it.
Hearing Lan Mu's extremely detailed statement, the policemen smiled.
Lan Mu had indeed provided a few very useful clues. For example, the ranger Xiao Tang. This was the biggest breakthrough in the case.
"Hurry up and act. Wang Tang immediately go and control Xiao Tang. Hu Duan immediately inform all the departments to set up checks on all the highways leaving Fu Zhou. Also, check the surveillance cameras. We must find all the vehicles that match Mr. Lan's description and stop them."
"Lastly, I'll have to trouble Mr. Lan to immediately cooperate with our people to describe the characteristics of the suspects' faces and make them into portraits."
"I'll go back to the station and ask my colleagues in Lingnan. This group of people should have killed people before. There must be a case file in Lingnan."
Lan Mu nodded and described their faces with all his heart. Among them, he described the leader of the poachers and Huang Sheng in the most detail. The portraits of these two people were almost exactly the same as the real person.
"That's it. You can definitely catch them with this!"
Officer Bear, who stayed to draw the portraits, put away his laptop, thanked Lan Mu, and prepared to leave.
However, Lan Mu stopped him and asked, "Can I ask who saved me? I remember that I fainted in the suburbs due to excessive blood loss. "
"Oh, it's Reporter Qin outside the door! She was also the one who called the police. "
Lan Mu nodded and asked again, "Then how did you know that there was a poaching case? I remember that the poaching case in Fu Zhou was very well hidden. Did Reporter Qin see the poachers? "
Officer Bear said, "That's not the case. The gun you were shot with was obviously an earthen shotgun. This kind of shotgun is usually used by poachers. Also, the leopard is now locked in the zoo. We're going to release it back to Fences Mountain soon. "
"So that's how it is …" Lan Mu nodded thoughtfully.
Officer Bear thanked Lan Mu again and told him to rest well. Then, he left.
After a while, Qin Yu pursed her lips and came in again. She sat beside Lan Mu's bed.
Lan Mu sighed. After knowing that it was Qin Yu who had saved him, he felt a little embarrassed.
At first, he instinctively bullied this colleague of his. Now that he thought about it, it was a little too much for him to bully her after she had saved him.
"I'm sorry. Thank you for saving me."
Qin Yu's face lit up with joy. She said, "You're welcome. It's just a small matter. I've seen your ID. You're a reporter from Shanghai. You have no conflict with our newspaper. You're a senior, so don't bully me. Now, can you answer my question? "
Lan Mu thought that the Morning Light did not pursue exclusive coverage of this kind of foreign news. It was just that the anonymous letter was inexplicably delivered to Shanghai. That was why he had gone on a business trip. Now that he thought about it, there was a big problem with the anonymous letter!
This information had not been provided to the police yet. It seemed that he had to go to the local police station.
"Mr. Lan? Mr. Lan? "Qin Yu saw that Lan Mu was not speaking. She was so anxious that she bit her lips. She looked so cute.
Lan Mu saw that she was about to cry and couldn't help but feel happy. Thus, he answered her question directly.
After a few questions, the interview was on the right track. Qin Yu's questions were getting more and more incisive.
However, in Lan Mu's eyes, she was still a little immature. A few of her questions were not to the point. Thus, he took the initiative to help Qin Yu add a few more questions until the matter was explained in detail.
This was not repaying a debt of gratitude. The debt of saving his life was not something that could be repaid so easily.
"That's basically it. It's enough for a big story. Oh right, when you give the story to the editor, remember to ask him to mention the shooting first, then the theft case … Cough cough, sorry, it's an occupational disease … You editors should know this."
"Oh right, if your relationship with the editor is good enough, you can ask him to include you in the story. After all, you saved me and are considered to have participated in this case. Although you and I are working behind the scenes, there's no harm in letting the readers remember you. "
Qin Yu was very grateful for Lan Mu's guidance. After thanking him a few times, she wanted to leave in a hurry.
Lan Mu saw that she was a little rash and hurriedly shouted, "Give me your phone number! Hey! "
"I …"
However, Qin Yu had already rushed out of the ward. It seemed that she was in a hurry to submit the material.
Lan Mu shook his head. He wanted to wait until his injury was healed to formally thank her and have a meal or something.
However, since she was in such a hurry, he could forget about it. When the time came, he could just go to her unit.
The ward was suddenly empty. There were only two people in the entire ward. Other than him, there was only the patient on the bed opposite him. That person was still pretending to be asleep.
Lan Mu chuckled. It seemed that the other party knew that he had been shot and that the police often came, so he must have misunderstood something.
However, Lan Mu did not care. After searching for a long time, he finally found his mobile phone in the bedside drawer.
His mobile phone had less than 10% battery left. He hurriedly prepared the information in the draft box and sent it to Chief Editor Liang.
After waiting for a little while, he saw that his mobile phone's battery was low. He still made a call.
After a few beeps, it suddenly became, "The user you have dialed is currently in a call. Please try again later …"
"Eh?"
Lan Mu was stunned. The call had obviously gone through. Why was the line suddenly busy? It was obvious that he had been suddenly blacklisted.
Then, he repeatedly called Chief Editor Liang, but the line was still busy several times.
Ten minutes later, the mobile phone was about to be turned off. He called one last time, but the line was still busy.
"Di …"
The mobile phone finally ran out of battery and turned black.
Lan Mu's heart sank. He was sure that he had been blacklisted.
"What happened in Shanghai?"
