Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Wang Shujuan took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Captain Wang... what mistake did my Weidong make that you need to come to the hospital to interrogate him?"

Liu Weidong was both surprised and moved that his usually gentle and introverted older sister would actually confront a policeman on his behalf.

Even Wang Jianzhong was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said to Wang Shujuan, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not interrogating Wei Dong, I'm just here to find out what's going on from him."

At this point, Wang Jianzhong also realized that his actions had gone too far. He whispered to Liu Weidong and Wang Shujuan, "This Wang Dashan is a murderer. He only returned to the village to avoid trouble. Now he has attacked the police and Liu Weidong. We, the police, must investigate this case as soon as possible."

Wang Jianzhong paused for a moment, then explained, "Wang Dashan is dead right now, and Zhao Zheng is still in the operating room. I can only come to Wei Dong to find out what's going on. I absolutely have no intention of interrogating him."

Wang Shujuan wasn't an unreasonable person. Since Wang Jianzhong had explained things clearly, she naturally didn't say anything more and sat down quietly.

Liu Weidong didn't mince words. He started by recounting how he was threatened by Wang Dashan that day and how he planned to go to the town's police station with his sister to report the case, and continued until Zhao Zheng's colleague arrived. He told Wang Jianzhong the whole story in detail.

Wang Jianzhong carefully wrote down Liu Weidong's words, checked all the details with him repeatedly, and finally asked him, "What do you have to say about Wang Dashan's death?"

“It was quite unexpected. I didn’t expect him to die.” Liu Weidong said calmly, “After I strangled him unconscious, I rushed to the roadside to check on Senior Brother Zhao’s injuries. I remember very clearly that he was lying next to the ditch. I don’t understand how he died.”

Wang Jianzhong observed Liu Weidong for a while and felt that what he said was the truth, so he whispered to him, "Based on the traces we found at the scene, he should have drowned. It is very likely that he struggled when he was about to wake up, fell into the ditch, and did not have enough strength to climb out, so he drowned."

This was exactly the conclusion Liu Weidong hoped the police would reach. He said with a sigh, "Such a thing actually happened. It just goes to show that justice prevails. This guy really deserved it!"

Wang Jianzhong nodded slightly in agreement with Liu Weidong's words. The fact that Wang Dashan had so ruthlessly murdered Zhao Zheng, a fellow police officer, was something not only Wang Jianzhong himself, but all the police officers involved in the case felt he deserved to die!

Judging from Wang Jianzhong's reaction, Liu Weidong knew he had passed the test, so he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, there's still one thing that's very suspicious!"

Wang Jianzhong immediately asked nervously, "What is it?"

“When we were there, Wang Dashan’s uncle Wang Deli and brother Wang Dahai were also there,” Liu Weidong told Wang Jianzhong earnestly. “Wang Deli admitted that he had known for a long time that Wang Dashan was going back to the village. Although Wang Dahai didn’t say anything, he must have known about it too!”

Wang Jianzhong immediately perked up and asked Liu Weidong in a deep voice, "You mean, these two not only knew that Wang Dashan would return to the village, but they also likely knew that he had committed a crime outside, and they were deliberately protecting him?"

Liu Weidong answered succinctly, "I can't be sure, but judging from their reaction, it's very likely that's the case!"

This is no small matter. Wang Jianzhong said seriously, "Weidong, this clue is very important. Are you sure you didn't mishear me?"

Liu Weidong also said in a serious tone, "My senior brother and his two colleagues were there at the time, they should have heard it too, you can ask them to verify!"

Now Wang Jianzhong had no more doubts. He closed the notebook and said, "Thank you for providing such an important clue. I will investigate it thoroughly!"

Liu Weidong said earnestly, "Cooperating with the police to crack down on criminals is what we ordinary people should do. Captain Wang, you're too kind!"

Although Liu Weidong remained outwardly calm, he secretly sneered inwardly. Wang Dashan's case was now a major one, and Wang Deli and Wang Dahai were implicated; they couldn't clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River. At the very least, they would suffer greatly!

Just as Liu Weidong was secretly pleased with himself, Wei Guohui suddenly pushed the door open and came in, followed by several doctors.

Wang Jianzhong was startled and quickly stood up to salute Wei Guohui: "Hello, Secretary Wei!"

"Oh, hello!" Wei Guohui nodded casually to Wang Jianzhong, then asked Liu Weidong with concern, "Weidong, I've come to see you."

As Liu Weidong got out of bed, he said, "Teacher Wei, what brings you here?"

"Don't move, just lie down." Wei Guohui quickly stopped Liu Weidong: "I heard you were injured, so I came to check on you. How are you feeling now?"

Liu Weidong smiled and said, "I feel fine. The doctors have taken good care of me. I'm alright. Thank you for your concern!"

Hearing Liu Weidong's words, the doctors who came with him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing how much Wei Guohui cared about Liu Weidong, even coming to the hospital to see him in person, greatly surprised Wang Jianzhong. He now realized that Liu Weidong's relationship with the county magistrate was even better than he had imagined! Luckily, he had been very polite to Liu Weidong earlier, otherwise, things would have been quite awkward.

Seeing that Liu Weidong was in good spirits, Wei Guohui felt relieved and turned to Wang Jianzhong, saying, "This case has a great impact. Your public security department must investigate it thoroughly, give everyone the truth, and bring all the criminals to justice!"

Wang Jianzhong quickly replied, "Please rest assured, we will do our utmost to investigate this case. I just finished speaking with Comrade Liu Weidong, and he provided me with a very important clue. I will go back and investigate immediately!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Wei Guohui nodded to Wang Jianzhong, then fell silent.

The others immediately understood Wei Guohui's meaning, knowing that he had something to say to Liu Weidong privately, and they all said goodbye and left.

Only Wang Shujuan, who was sitting in the corner, was a beat slower to react. After everyone else had left, she suddenly realized and stood up, saying, "Well, I... I'm going out too!"

Wei Guohui then noticed the introverted girl and realized that her presence in the ward at this time meant that her relationship with Liu Weidong was definitely not ordinary. So he asked in a low voice, "Weidong, who is this?"

"Oh, she's my sister." Liu Weidong introduced them to each other in a generous manner: "Sister, this is Teacher Wei, who used to teach me politics. He was also Zheng Ge's teacher, so I call him senior brother."

Although Wang Shujuan could tell that Wei Guohui was no ordinary person, since Liu Weidong had introduced him, she followed her brother's lead and greeted Wei Guohui: "Hello, Teacher Wei!"

"Hello!" Wei Guohui nodded to Wang Shujuan, his opinion of the siblings rising even higher.
