Chapter 211

Yanjing Shi Yiyuan.

Inside the ward, Lin Feng saw Qi Yao, who was in a coma.

Qi Yao's head was wrapped in a bandage, with a trace of blood on it.

At that moment, a doctor and a nurse walked in.

"Doctor, is she alright?"

Lin Feng asked nervously.

The doctor smiled and said, "Don't worry, the patient is fine; she will wake up soon."

"Thank you!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Then he sat beside the bed and took Qi Yao's hand.

Her hand was cold; when Lin Feng grasped it, Qi Yao's fingers curled and held his hand.

Lin Feng let out a breath.

As the doctor said, she should be fine.

Lin Feng just quietly watched Qi Yao.

Moments later, a female police officer in plain clothes, in her thirties, walked in.

"Consultant Lin, hello!"

The female officer nodded at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng furrowed his brow and asked, "Sister Yu, what's going on? Can you tell me?"

This female officer's surname is Yu, and her name is Yu Li.

Yu Li said, "Last night evening, after receiving the report, Ma Dian Village... that is a village to the south, a food poisoning incident occurred."

"Someone suspected poisoning and called the police."

"After receiving the report, we rushed there immediately; by the time we arrived, the local security personnel had already controlled the scene."

"After a preliminary investigation, it turned out that an elderly person was celebrating his 70th birthday and had invited relatives, friends, and neighbors to a banquet."

"The birthday elder and two fellow villagers died from poisoning."

"They had already been sent to the hospital for treatment."

"After Professor Qi examined the scene, it was confirmed that someone had given industrial alcohol for burning to drink, mistaking it for liquor."

"After confirming it was not intentional poisoning, Professor Qi and his colleagues were preparing to leave when someone stepped forward and said something."

"Three days earlier, a man named Ma Hongwei, of many years old, died at home in the same village; his son Ma Hai and family hastily buried Ma Hongwei."

"Because there were doubts, Captain Liu decided at the time to inspect, deciding to exhume the body for autopsy."

"At that time, Ma Hongwei's son Ma Hai strongly objected."

"Finally, after digging up the grave, Professor Qi conducted an on-site autopsy."

"It was determined that the deceased Ma Hongwei died from excessive drinking, which triggered a heart condition."

"Furthermore, the body showed no signs of injury or struggle, confirming it was not a murder case."

"As they were leaving, Ma Hai, in anger, picked up a stick and smashed it toward a colleague."

"The colleague reached out to block it; the wooden stick broke, flying up and hitting Professor Qi on the back of the head, leaving a gash on his occipital region."

"That's how it happened; I was there at the time and saw everything clearly."

"Anything else?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brow and asked.

Yu Li thought and said, "Later Ma Hai was detained by security; Professor Qi really had bad luck. Who would have thought that the flying half-stick would actually hit her on the back of the head."

Ma Hai said at the time that his father's spirit had appeared, specifically to punish Professor Qi, because Professor Qi had disturbed his father's corpse.

"Isn't cremation mandated?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brow and asked.

Yu Li said, "That's the regulation, but Ma Dian Village and surrounding villages strongly oppose cremation, so they specially designated a plot for burial. Of course, burial incurs a fee."

"Thank you, Sister Yu! I understand."

Lin Feng nodded.

Yu Li came specially to explain this matter.

After speaking, she took her leave.

"Yaoyao, what nonsense about his father's spirit appearing; it's purely an accident, just bad luck—you are the House Guarding Divine Beast!"

Lin Feng had just finished saying that while holding Qi Yao's hand when he saw Qi Yao open her eyes.

She had actually been awake for several minutes already.

"House Guarding Divine Beast?"

Qi Yao stared wide-eyed at Lin Feng.

"Haha! Did I say that before?" Lin Feng said embarrassedly.

Qi Yao woke up, and Lin Feng became happy.

"I heard everything."

Qi Yao's mouth curled up, and she began to smile.

When she smiled, in Lin Feng's eyes she was the most beautiful.

Even Han Xiang wasn't that good-looking.

Well, that's because Han Xiang smiles many more times than Qi Yao.

"Men, the harder something is to obtain, the more curious they become."

"I'm fine, it's just an accident, I'll be better after a few days of rest."

Qi Yao tightened her grip on Lin Feng's hand and spoke softly.

Lin Feng nodded and smiled, saying, "Once you're better, take a long leave! Let's go home and have a baby."

Qi Yao did not immediately refuse; a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

At this moment Lin Feng's heart leapt to his throat, and he inwardly shouted, "Agree! Agree! Hurry up and agree......"

However, Qi Yao shook her head and said, "How about after next year?"

Lin Feng deflated, "Alright!"

He could also understand Qi Yao's thoughts.

Being a forensic doctor is not just any job; if pregnant, one certainly needs to avoid it.

Once she becomes pregnant, not to mention Lin Feng, even Qi Zhengwei and Shu Xiaohui as a couple would not allow her to continue working.

This delay would last at least one or two years.

Perhaps later, for the child's sake, she would give up on-site investigations.

But for now, she still holds great enthusiasm for this work.

After Qi Yao and Lin Feng chatted for a while, she fell asleep again.

In the evening, Qi Zhengwei and Shu Xiaohui flew to Yanjing.

Lin Feng stayed until evening, when Shu Xiaohui kicked him out of the ward and told him to rest.

Leaving the hospital, Lin Feng took out a cigarette and lit it.

He had only smoked half of it when he threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.

Then he took the elevator down to the hospital's underground parking lot and drove away.

Arriving at the Fierce Tiger Gym, after Lin Feng parked his car, he saw Liu Erwa and Duan Fei, along with several hooligans, sitting on the first floor eating hot pot.

Seeing Lin Feng arrive, they all stood up.

"Brother Feng, you've come at just the right time!"

Duan Fei said with a smile.

Liu Erwa gave a hehe laugh.

The remaining hooligans also greeted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Liu Er, Duan Fei, you two bring shovels, gloves, and other tools, and follow me."

"Brother Feng, what are we doing?"

Duan Fei ran up to Lin Feng and asked quietly.

Liu Erwa also widened his eyes, full of curiosity.

Lin Feng scratched his head, "Nothing to do, let's go dig up a grave! By the way, prepare masks—it might be smelly, since it's only been buried a few days."

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei glanced at each other.

Which little brat offended Brother Feng? Even if Brother Feng died, they wouldn't let it go.

The two hurried off to get the tools.

Next, Liu Erwa drove an old black sedan, taking Lin Feng and Duan Fei toward Horse Shop Village.

Lin Feng sat in the back, arms crossed, silent.

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei also didn't speak.

The two knew the rules—if Lin Feng didn't speak, they wouldn't ask.

"Whoosh~"

A large truck roared past in front of the car.

Lin Feng was startled and shuddered.

Liu Erwa chuckled, "Sorry, Brother Feng, I'm used to running red lights; this intersection has no cameras, so no points will be deducted."

Duan Fei slapped Liu Erwa, "Is this about losing points or not? We almost crashed! If you die it's fine, but you'd drag Brother Feng down too!"

Lin Feng exclaimed helplessly, "Pull over up ahead, Duan Fei, you drive from now on!"

Liu Erwa, such an idiot!

Lin Feng decided that after this, he would never ride in that guy's car again.

Duan Fei turned on navigation on his phone.

After over an hour, they finally arrived at Horse Shop Village.

It was already almost nine o'clock at night.

It was drizzling rain mixed with snow.

With the weather so cold, the people of Horse Shop Village had already shut themselves inside their homes.

A few hundred meters from the village, the burial ground held a newly dug grave that was extremely conspicuous.

The tombstone bore the name Ma Hongwei.

"This is the place."

Lin Feng shone his flashlight on the tombstone and frowned.

"Pah! Pah!"

Liu Erwa spat twice into his hand, rubbed it together, then picked up the shovel and began digging.

The burial was shallow; after digging up the mound, they soon saw the coffin.

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei used the shovel to pry open the black lacquered coffin.

There wasn't a strong foul odor.

Because the weather was cold.

Brother Feng, what's the plan?

Liu Erwa looked at the corpse and asked, feeling a bit scared.

Don't be fooled by his blank stare—he's very superstitious.

If Lin Feng and Duan Fei weren't present, he wouldn't dare to dig.

Lin Feng glanced at the nearby cypress tree and said calmly, "Tie a rope around his neck and hang him from the tree! Damn it! Dare hurt my woman, I'll make you regret it!"

If this old man had any spirit in heaven, he would surely cry out that he's been wronged.

He wouldn't dare touch the House Guarding Divine Beast; it was purely a coincidence.

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Liu Erwa's eyes widened.

Then...

"Ugh~"

The three of them hunched over the ground and vomited.

When Qi Yao previously examined the corpse, she had only done a simple stitch.

After being hung up, everything inside poured out.

On the way back, Lin Feng smoked and explained his reasons for doing that.

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei exchanged a glance.

So that's how it is!

Brother Feng, you're really petty!

They didn't know that Qi Yao was Lin Feng's beloved.

Even the slightest bump or knock made Lin Feng's heart ache terribly.

Also, he wanted the people of Ma Dian Village to see whether it was really a ghost's divine intervention that had injured Qi Yao.

If it can manifest its power, why would it hang itself from a tree?

"If anyone dares hurt Yao Yao, I don't care about the saying 'the dead are supreme'! And once that Ma Hai is released, I'll break his claws, damn it!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Duan Fei immediately responded.
