Mu Chenyan was not a particularly emotional person. She had also seen life and death situations in the human world.
Back when she was studying abroad in England, she followed her classmates and secretly went to the Middle East war zone on the eve of her graduation. She had seen even more cruel deaths in the refugee camps. She had become a volunteer with a compassionate heart, but she could also calmly accept the reality of death.
However, when she saw the patients in the ward today, she still could not control the uneasiness in her heart.
It was as if she knew all of this, but she could not stop it …
Most of the victims were people who had recovered from mental illness in the later stages. The credibility of their statements that could be used in court was very low.
Su Qingcheng was the representative of the police. On one hand, she was here to appease the victims' families. On the other hand, she was here to understand the situation and see if there were any more clues that could be dug up.
There were two to three people staying in each ward. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan went around and finally arrived at a large ward. The hospital was overcrowded, and there were a total of six patients staying in this ward.
"That's too cruel. He's a perfectly fine person. He's about to recover and go home, but now he's in the hospital …"
The mother-in-law who was lying on the bed at the entrance looked at her husband with tears streaming down her face.
"Back then, they were aiming for Zong He's hardware. Now, they've actually gotten themselves involved in a poisoning case!"
The two middle-aged men in the beds next to hers were furious when they saw that their daughter was unconscious.
Su Qingcheng comforted them, "Everyone, don't panic. The police are already involved in the investigation. They'll give everyone an explanation soon!"
When the family members heard Su Qingcheng's words, they sighed in despair. Now that things had come to this, they felt very helpless.
"Mother-In-Law, the surveillance showed that you've been to Zong He to visit your husband in the past few days. Do you remember anything unusual?" Su Qingcheng took out her notebook and asked the mother-in-law who was at the door.
Most of the family members had gone to the police station to record their statements. Wu Huai had arranged for Su Qingcheng to follow up and investigate some of the key suspects.
The old lady wiped her tears and thought about it. She had said everything she could before. Her husband was about to be discharged from the hospital these few days and she had indeed gone to visit him more frequently. She seemed to be trying hard to recall other special circumstances during this period of time.
When Mu Chenyan saw this, she quickly took out her phone and showed a photo to the old lady. "Granny, have you seen this girl go to Zong He?"
The old lady looked at the photo on her phone and her eyes lit up. She seemed to have recalled something. "Yes, I've seen this girl. She went to Zong He two days before the incident. I think her mother lived there. She went to visit her mother and even had a fight with her!"
Mu Chenyan felt that this was an unexpected gain. She exchanged glances with Su Qingcheng.
Although Su Qingcheng did not know who Zhao Ruoxin was, she was on high alert when an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
"Quarrel? Did you hear what they said? "Mu Chenyan hurriedly asked.
The old lady looked a little confused. She was old and had forgotten some things in the past. When she was suddenly asked, she struggled to recall it. "Her mother seemed to want to be discharged. She told her mother that she would take her out after the incident was done. That woman seemed to be extremely unwilling. She cried and tugged at her daughter's sleeves …"
"Her daughter was extremely disgusted and her words were extremely harsh. I also thought it was strange at that time! How could a daughter treat her own mother like that? That's why I have some impression of it! "
Mu Chenyan felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat. Could this be what Zhao Ruoxin was talking about after she succeeded?
However, if she was the one who had instructed Zhao Yanni to poison her, how could she explain the fact that Zhao Yanni had been poisoned as well?
"Qingcheng, when do you think the surveillance cameras were broken?"
Mu Chenyan suddenly turned around and asked Su Qingcheng.
"6th of March. Mother-In-Law, do you remember which day you saw this girl?" Su Qingcheng pointed at Mu Chenyan's phone.
The old lady lowered her head and thought about it. She flipped through her phone again and suddenly said in a low voice, "It was March 6th! I went that day and even took a photo of the old man and sent it to my son who is overseas. This is recorded! "
Su Qingcheng took the old lady's phone and looked at the time recorded by the system on the photo. Sure enough, it was that day!
The incident happened on the night of the 7th of March!
Mu Chenyan's entire body felt uncomfortable. It was as if she was one step closer to the real world. Her emotions became increasingly heavy.
Su Qingcheng pulled Mu Chenyan away and asked in the parking area, "Who is this girl? Why would you suspect her? "
Mu Chenyan laughed bitterly. It was a long story. She really felt confused when she was asked about Zhao Ruoxin's identity.
"Qingcheng, can I not say it?"
Mu Chenyan's expression was cold and she was a little resistant. She suppressed her emotions and sat in the driver's seat.
As a police officer, Su Qingcheng was naturally sensitive. She acted as if Mu Chenyan had no choice but to say it. She advised in a low voice, "Chenyan, you can't hide the situation. A few people have died in this case. Even if you're not a police officer, you have an obligation to help solve the case and uphold justice!"
She reached out and pulled out Mu Chenyan's car key. The heroic woman's eyes were like torches as she looked at Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan had no choice but to close her eyes and think for a while. "If you want to talk about it, you have to start from the old case in Luo Hai two or three years ago …"
Initially, Mu Chenyan did not want her current colleagues to know about her past. However, since things had come to this, she could not hide it from Su Qingcheng anymore. Thus, she could only tell Su Qingcheng about her previous experiences bit by bit.
Su Qingcheng never imagined that Mu Chenyan had experienced so many things. Especially when she heard about her experience in prison, it was even more tragic. She could not imagine how such a weak woman could survive those days.
Finally, when it came to Zhao Ruoxin, Mu Chenyan simply told Su Qingcheng about her recent discoveries. Since she could not share it with Yuan Xuan, someone had to help her analyze the situation.
After listening to Mu Chenyan's narration, Su Qingcheng pondered for a while. Her exquisite facial features became clearer and more distinct. She suddenly said to Mu Chenyan, "This Zhao Ruoxin is indeed very suspicious! However, everything needs to be proven with evidence.
Judging from the current situation, it doesn't look too optimistic. If you hadn't suddenly followed us here and met Granny today, we wouldn't have any leads in the direction of our investigation. We wouldn't have even thought of this woman. "
"Even if we have this suspect, it'll be very difficult to obtain evidence!"
"Firstly, the surveillance cameras were destroyed. Someone hacked into the network from the outside. There's no direct evidence to prove that this woman is involved. Secondly, Granny only heard the Zhao family's mother and daughter quarreling. She wasn't sure if they were talking about the poisoning incident after the incident. This is only our conjecture. Even if she did it, it's very likely that she wasn't the one who directly manipulated it. Thirdly, and the most important point, motive! Every case needs a motive! "
"What kind of deep hatred does this woman have for this patient? Why would she do such a crazy thing?"
Su Qingcheng's series of analysis made Mu Chenyan unable to answer. Indeed, where was the motive? Could it be that the person behind Zhao Ruoxin had a grudge against a mental rehabilitation patient in the sanatorium?
The two women were puzzled along the way but they could not figure out anything. They could only return to the police station first.
Su Qingcheng reported to Wu Huai about the situation at the hospital. She hid the part about Mu Chenyan and said that it was the Granny who thought of this suspicious person.
When Wu Huai heard this, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Half an hour later, Wu Ze hurriedly arrived at the Major Crimes Department. He saw Wu Huai's gloomy face the moment he entered the door and asked hurriedly, "Brother, did you say that this case is related to the Yuan Family?"
