Chapter 453: Must Turn This Into an Ironclad Case!
Judging by the unfocused state of Sun Gang's pupils, Er Zi determined that he had ingested an excessive amount of sleeping pills; the top priority was to send him to the hospital for a stomach pump.
While driving, he used his mobile phone to dial Wan Ming's number.
"Bureau Chief Wan, tailing Wu Ji was indeed useful! He stayed at the Reception House for three hours, and when he came out, he was carrying a person in a woven bag, whom he buried on the wasteland on the north bank of the Grand Canal. I've dug him out."
"Who is in the bag? Is it related to the case?"
"Judging by the build, it is exactly the same as the criminal characteristics described by Gu Jing. I suspect it is that intruder!"
Wan Ming had originally been groggy, but upon hearing Er Zi's report, he instantly sobered up: "How is the person? Are they still alive?"
Er Zi glanced at the back seat: "This guy was fed a large amount of sleeping pills; he must be rescued immediately."
Wan Ming made a prompt decision: "Send the person to the hospital, and I will meet you there."
After hanging up on Er Zi, Wan Ming hurriedly dialed Tang Ye's number.
"County Magistrate Tang, I just received news that Er Zi has found the criminal suspect who broke in and committed the crime. However, the situation is quite special; his current condition is rather critical."
Tang Ye sat up abruptly: "What's the situation!"
"The other party attempted to kill him to silence him and fed him a lot of sleeping pills."
"Send him to the hospital immediately. I will help find a doctor."
"I am preparing to go to the hospital; shall I pick you up on the way?"
"I will wait for you at the entrance of the residential compound."
Tang Ye put on his clothes and shoes and arrived at the entrance of the residential compound.
A moment later, a police car had just come to a stop when Tang Ye pulled the door open, sat in the front passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
"I have already called my father. You tell Er Zi to drive the car directly to the entrance of the Emergency Department hall; the doctors from the Emergency Department are already standing by there."
Wan Ming said "okay" and then dialed Er Zi's number.
Er Zi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll be at the hospital in a few minutes!"
"There are doctors waiting for you at the hospital."
About forty minutes later, Wan Ming and Tang Ye met Er Zi, who was waiting at the entrance of the emergency room.
"How is the person?" Wan Ming asked in a low voice.
Er Zi shook his head: "I'm not sure. According to the doctors' reaction, the amount of medicine he ingested was particularly large, and the difficulty of the rescue is not small."
Tang Ye then dialed Tang Yu's number.
"Dad, how is the patient?"
Tang Yu said indifferently: "Your friend is quite lucky. Although he ingested a large amount of sleeping pills, the rescue was timely. If he had arrived half an hour later, he probably wouldn't have been saved."
Tang Ye was between laughter and tears: "Dad, I have to apologize to you. This patient is actually not my friend."
Tang Yu asked in surprise: "Then who is it? You were in such a rush, speaking so gravely!"
Tang Ye explained patiently: "He is a criminal suspect in a major home-invasion case."
Tang Yu suddenly realized: "You brat, you even lied to me!"
Tang Ye smiled and appeased him: "I know that in the eyes of a doctor, there is only the distinction between patients, not bad people and good people, but wasn't I doing this to be safe? Saving this person is very important for solving the case. If he dies, the trail will go cold. There are still more people who will be harmed by the bad people hidden in the shadows. So, even though you saved a bad person, you actually indirectly protected many good people."
Tang Yu said with annoyance: "Next time, say what you mean directly; don't beat around the bush."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye said to Wan Ming with relief: "The person has been saved."
Er Zi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Bureau Chief Wan, now that the evidence is ironclad, shall we arrest Wu Ji directly?"
Wan Ming frowned and looked at Tang Ye: "What do you think?"
Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "First, seal off this news. He is an important witness. Given Feng Lin's cunning, it is very likely he will push all the responsibility onto his subordinate, Wu Ji."
Wan Ming agreed with Tang Ye's point of view and instructed Er Zi:
"Continue to keep an eye on Wu Ji. In addition, we must dig deeper into Feng Lin's issues. This matter involves human life; the other party dared to kill to silence someone, so it is definitely not the first time they have done so. It must be turned into an ironclad case; we cannot leave any loose ends, otherwise these scumbags will continue to be arrogant and domineering, preying on the common people."
……
Gao Ping called his eldest sister to say they should get together over the weekend, but was refused by her.
The more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong, so he dialed Gu Jing's number.
"Tell me the truth, did something happen at home?"
When Gu Jing heard Gao Ping's inquiry, she could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
"Uncle, a few days ago, a criminal broke into our home and injured my dad and mom. They have been in the hospital for the past few days."
Gao Ping was completely stunned.
In his world, his eldest sister was the person closest to him.
"What exactly happened? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't dare tell you; I was afraid you would worry."
"Nonsense! Tell me the hospital and the room number; I'm coming over right now."
Gao Ping hung up the phone, hurriedly changed his shoes, and walked out the door.
His wife watched Gao Ping's nervous expression from behind and asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
Gao Ping sighed: "Sigh, my sister and brother-in-law are in the hospital. Gu Jing actually hid it from me. I'm going to the hospital to see them."
His wife said hurriedly: "Let's go together."
Gao Ping and his wife arrived at the hospital.
Gu Jing stood up and said softly: "Mom, Uncle is here."
Gao Lan glanced at Gao Ping: "Don't blame Xiao Jing; I was the one who told her not to tell you. We don't have any major issues; we'll be fine after resting for a few days."
Gao Ping's eyes were red, and he suppressed the heartache in his heart, saying softly: "Sister, next time something happens, you must tell us in time. We are a family; we must face any difficulties together, otherwise you make me feel like I'm quite useless."
Gao Lan waved her hand: "Don't say that; I have always been proud of you. I am really fine; you should go to work as usual, don't worry about me."
Gao Ping held his eldest sister's hand and chatted with her for a few moments.
Through the elder sister's words, he knew that Tang Ye had secretly helped a great deal; not only had he arranged a hospital room with a good environment for the elder sister, but he had also spoken to the doctors and the Nurse, and he felt immensely grateful to Tang Ye in his heart.
Gao Ping walked out of the hospital room, and Gu Jing followed him out.
Gao Ping sighed: "I warned you before that you should keep a low profile when doing business; this time is a lesson for you. In the future, you should still be steady and sure when doing business."
Gu Jing bit her lip: "I didn't expect that group of people to be so unscrupulous. I cannot swallow this insult."
Gao Ping was silent for a few seconds: "Since the other party dares to use such despicable means, they won't be able to run wild for much longer!"
Leaving the hospital, Gao Ping dialed Tang Ye's phone number.
"I just found out about my sister's situation; I didn't expect that good intentions would lead to bad results. I told Gu Jing that perhaps we should just stop the project in Suiyuan."
Tang Ye heard the trace of anger in Gao Ping's words: "Brother Gao, I am very shocked that such a thing happened. I will immediately have the relevant personnel investigate this matter; please calm down, this matter will definitely give you a reasonable answer."
Gao Ping sighed and said: "I didn't mean to put pressure on you."
Tang Ye laughed softly: "Gu Jing coming to Suiyuan to do business is a sign of trust in me. If I cannot even guarantee her safety, how can I guarantee it for other entrepreneurs who are interested in investing in Suiyuan?"
Gao Ping nodded slightly: "I believe you will get to the bottom of this matter."
Tang Ye hung up the phone with Gao Ping and rubbed his temples.
Gao Ping had called, and although it seemed like a thank you, it had indirectly brought him pressure.
Tang Ye pinched a pen with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
This case seemed to point to Feng Lin.
However, there was a lack of sufficient evidence.
A proper opportunity was needed to take Feng Lin down in one fell swoop.
The key to breaking the deadlock perhaps lay with Wu Ji!
