Chapter 25: 25 Investigation Mission (Part 1)

25 Investigation Mission (Part 1)

Not knowing that the Director was shamelessly extorting good things for him, Li Ang was standing one kilometer away from the middle-aged nurse's house, using the sheep head's soul vision to 'scan' the soul states of everyone in the range with full vigilance.

Although the first mission after joining the job was successful without danger, except for his shoulder being bruised by the recoil of the sniper rifle, it could almost be said that he didn't even break a bit of skin. But Li Ang always remembered the conversation he had with the red-haired Director before joining the job, as well as that quite shocking data.

The total death rate of the Cleaning Bureau is eight per thousand, and it is eight per thousand per month.

Whether it was Auntie Ai Ma or the red-haired Director, they had emphasized to him more than once that no matter what situation he encountered, he must be cautious, cautious, and cautious, because the mission targets the Cleaning Bureau faces have too many 'tricks', and you never know when you will encounter one that happens to 'restrain' your ability.

Even the hospital incident was like that; even Auntie Ai Ma, who had an undead body, flipped the car, and more than half of her body was swallowed into the hospital floorboards. If it weren't for the fact that she had arranged for him and the sheep head to snipe in advance, she would only have been waiting for the Director to save her.

And what is even more terrifying is that this incident happened three streets away from the Cleaning Bureau. If Auntie Ai Ma flipped the car, she could still wait for the Director to save her, but what if this incident happened in some remote mountain forest where no one goes? Or what if Red Brick Road Hospital could move and it was difficult to determine its location?

Then even if she wouldn't die because of her undead body, she might be locked up for months, years, or even kept in a state of being absorbed, just awake and unable to move, locked in the cement floorboards, which is truly much more painful than death...

Sigh... cautious, cautious, and cautious!

After recalling the situation of the last mission, Li Ang couldn't help but take two deep breaths and repeatedly warned himself that as long as it might have something to do with 'abnormality', he must remain vigilant, no matter how safe it seems.

Although he has a unique badge cheat and will definitely be able to continue to grow in the future, if it comes to the ability to save his life, he is not even worthy of carrying

After repeatedly checking everyone in the vicinity, especially the soul state of the middle-aged nurse's family, and confirming that their emotions were relatively stable and that they showed no abnormalities for the time being, Li Ang stuffed the cursing sheep head into his shopping bag and walked quickly toward the block where the middle-aged nurse's family lived.

After showing his Cleaning Bureau credentials to the apartment manager and explaining that he was a public servant there to investigate the hospital director's embezzlement case, Li Ang easily gained the manager's trust thanks to his credentials, which were identical in format to those of the Police Department. The middle-aged manager even put down the knitting she was halfway through and personally led him upstairs.

"Officer, the Hanna family are good people. Although she works at the Red Brick Road Hospital, she is completely different from that money-grubbing director. You must not wrong a good person."

The manager, a woman who looked to be over sixty, shook her head of dense, fluffy white curls. As she led Li Ang slowly up the stairs, she chattered on, laying the groundwork:

"I remember twenty-some years ago, when she was still a young girl, she was already a nurse at that hospital. She has always been conscientious and never made any mistakes. When my old man broke his leg and stayed there for half a month, she took care of him perfectly, even more meticulously than our own daughter."

"The only issue that child has is that her temperament is a bit too straightforward. Based on seniority, she could have become the head nurse ten years ago, but the head nurse has to manage the medication records. Because she was unwilling to cooperate with that bunch of people in falsifying them, she never got the promotion every time it came around..."

After talking non-stop about one thing or another, the manager quietly passed the fifth floor where the middle-aged nurse's family lived and led Li Ang toward the sixth floor, which was full of vacant rooms, while stealing glances at his expression.

She tentatively asked:

"By the way, Officer, you came to find Hanna this time—is it to ask her to testify to prove that those people cheated us patients out of money? Or do you want to take her back for questioning?"

"......"

It looks like if I say I'm here to arrest her, you're prepared to just...?

After opening his mouth in speechlessness, Li Ang, who had stopped on the fifth floor, couldn't help but remind her:

"Ma'am... her home should be on the fifth floor, right? Did you go up one floor too many?"

"Ah? Oh, oh! I'm getting old, my memory isn't very good, hehehe."

The manager's mental fortitude was quite good; she didn't panic even after being exposed. Instead, she slowly shuffled back down the stairs, but she still didn't lead Li Ang toward the middle-aged nurse's home, instead walking toward another vacant room to the left of the stairs.

"......"

No... I already know her home is on the fifth floor, and you still want to try to lead me somewhere else? Isn't this a bit too deceptive?

"Tsk..."

This little black-skinned dog is quite fussy; he probably investigated everything before coming!

Seeing that Li Ang refused to be fooled and even stood directly at Hanna's door waiting for her, the manager's eyelids and corners of her mouth immediately drooped. She shuffled back on her slightly bow-legged legs, stomped over, knocked angrily on the middle-aged nurse's door, and then threatened him with a dark face:

"I'm telling you, if you want to investigate, investigate properly. Don't think about splashing dirty water on Hanna; those filthy hospital matters have nothing to do with her!"

"Also, that child Hanna is fine right now. If she has any injuries when she returns, or if her state is not right, I will definitely testify and file a complaint against your Police Department for illegal interrogation!"

"......"

Under the manager's thief-guarding gaze, the door to the middle-aged nurse's home creaked open from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a weary face walked out.

Upon seeing Li Ang, who looked like a stranger, the scholarly-looking middle-aged man adjusted the lenses on the bridge of his nose and asked with some surprise:

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"He is..."

"I am looking for your wife, Ms. Hanna."

Suddenly raising his volume significantly to drown out the manager's words, Li Ang explained first:

"My name is Li Ang. Your wife was the nurse in my sister's ward before. I wonder if she has mentioned me to you?"

"Oh, oh! She has! She has!"

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the weary-faced middle-aged man's expression brightened. He pushed the door open, walked over quickly, grabbed Li Ang's right hand, and shook it vigorously with excitement.

"Thanks to you and your colleagues for arriving in time yesterday to close the hospital's gas pipeline valve! Oh, and! If it weren't for your sister discovering something was wrong and letting Hanna slide down the bedsheets in advance, she might have..."

"Oh my! Really! I really don't know how to thank your family. Actually, we should have been the ones to visit you, but you came first!"

"You are too kind. My sister has been well taken care of by your wife. Yesterday, she only came up with the idea of tying the curtains together. They were able to be safe and sound in the end, and that is thanks to your wife."

"No, no, no, it was still your sister..."

???

Watching the two men at the door shaking hands vigorously and thanking each other's family members in a very harmonious atmosphere, the manager, who had been eyeing them like a tiger, couldn't help but freeze in place.

Wait... wait a minute... let me sort this out first...
