Chapter 568: [(568)] Police are scared too Chapter 568: [(568)] Police are scared too “Brother Hu, the doctor from Guoxie is here to pick her up,” the female officer reported as she entered Hu Zhenfan’s office.
Before long, Cao Yong appeared at the doorway.
He was the legendary, renowned neurosurgeon. Police officers who had heard of him looked at Cao Yong and couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling as nervous as ordinary people do when they see a doctor. Not to mention, Cao Yong’s gaze was particularly sharp at the moment, as incisive as a scalpel, radiating an intimidating edge.
Xie Wanying stood up and called out, “Senior Cao.”
Cao Yong silently observed her for a moment to ensure she was alright.
“My husband is here,” Aunt Zhang approached, realizing that Cao Yong had come to pick someone up, and said to him, “I’ll ride with my husband. You can take her back.”
“Mm,” Cao Yong responded with composed affirmation.
“I entrust her to you,” Aunt Zhang said, feeling at ease to hand over her “goddaughter” Xie Wanying only after making sure of this.
Turning to the group of police officers inside the room, Cao Yong asked, “Can she go now?”
“Yes,” the officers found themselves answering in unison, without even realizing it.
Cao Yong walked over to Xie Wanying and instructed, “My car is outside, wait for me there.”
Does Senior have something to take care of? Maybe he had some business and took the opportunity to pick her up too? With that thought, Xie Wanying nodded and left first.
“The cake,” the female officer reminded her, thrusting the cake into her hands, “Take it with you to eat.”
“You don’t have to give it to me, I can’t finish one by myself.”
“We insisted, Dr. Xie, so please don’t be formal with us. We might need your help when we visit the hospital in the future,” the officers said.
With the police brothers and sisters being so courteous, Xie Wanying had no choice but to pick up the cake and leave.
After she was gone, Cao Yong approached Hu Zhenfan.
Hu Zhenfan’s heart thumped wildly.
This man was no ordinary person; he was the brother and superior from his hometown, a famous doctor. He had always been cautious around doctors, and now, facing Cao Yong, he felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. Mainly because he had taken someone away today without notifying the hospital first, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
“Dr. Cao, do you have something to say to us?” Hu Zhenfan braced himself and asked.
“Yes. I want to ask if you have completely cleared up this case? Do you really think a man who hid a long knife for murder was just acting on impulse? Is he lying? As a doctor, using my medical knowledge, I don’t believe it was a momentary impulse. Just buying that knife, choosing such a long knife for the crime, it all must have been meticulously planned. We can’t rule out he had previous motives for assault. But the rumor about the dropped envelope, that didn’t happen long ago.”
A somber mood fell over the group of officers as they listened to his words.
Hu Zhenfan explained, “We have another team of colleagues who are continuing to delve into his social circles, and we aren’t going to easily take his existing statements at face value. The tool he used for the crime is extremely rare in one-off criminal cases; it’s also unusual.”
“Alright, I trust you, my fellow police comrades.”
“Please be assured, Dr. Cao,” Hu Zhenfan solemnly promised to thoroughly investigate the case.
Standing at the entrance of the city police station, Xie Wanying gazed at Senior Cao’s dazzling car, thinking that one day when she had money, she would buy a similar car to take her mother for a drive. So, she resolved to study and work hard. Soon after, she heard footsteps from behind and turned around, “Senior Cao.”
“Get in,” Cao Yong said as he opened the car door for her to enter.
