【Ling Li】Greedy Wolf

4. Bone and Heart ([-])

Maybe it's because he knows his time is approaching, maybe it's because he is disheartened, Lao Wang is not cooperating with the treatment recently.

He spent a lot of time in a daze. It turned out that his wife often came to see him and talk with him.Since what happened last time, he doesn't even have anyone to talk to to relieve his boredom.And because of his family's affairs, other patients dare not approach him. The curtains are drawn every day in the ward, which is full of ghosts and looks weird.

Fortunately, his son who is not as good as a beast is not coming recently.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his mother's suicide is more or less related to this unworthy son.He wasn't sad, but the first thing he thought of was to use his fucking death to rob him, his conscience probably rushed down the sewer along with the shit.Fortunately, the last time Li Xunran knocked on the mountain, he also knew that he couldn't get any benefits from the hospital, so he stopped.

When Ling Yuan went to the ward today, Old Wang was still watching the news.He stared straight at the TV screen, not knowing how much he listened to.In fact, he probably didn't listen to anything, but just asked for a little movement.If it weren't for the human voice in the news, the anger on his skinny face would have been unreal.

Ling Yuan walked over to him and asked him, "How are you feeling today?"

The old Wang ignored him, as if he didn't hear him at all.

Ling Yuan sighed, walked to his bedside, and said solemnly: "Your negative attitude will affect the effect of the treatment. I just checked your latest indicators, and the situation is not very optimistic."

Old Wang's cloudy eyes moved, and he finally raised his head to look at him, with an ugly smile on the corner of his dry mouth: "That's right, I don't want to live anyway."

He said: "I don't have much meaning to live. Besides wasting money and wasting the country's resources, what else is there for me?"

Ling Yuan wanted to say something to comfort him, but Lao Wang obviously didn't need comfort, he just wanted to talk to someone: "Who the hell am I doing it for? I am not for that little bastard! He was born to be Congenital heart disease, if you don’t have an operation, you can only wait at home to die. My mother and I have only one son, I can’t bear it! At that time, the family’s conditions were not good, and the operation cost was tens of thousands of yuan, so my mother and I only had that little I have worked so hard to raise the surgery fee for him to save his life. Isn’t it just that he is expected to be successful in the future, so that we can rest in peace?! But what about him, he has become a beast!”

Big tears dripped from his eyes: "Fucking mother died for him, just for him! Now I'm going to die too, this is all retribution, retribution!"

Lao Wang was crying heartbroken, and from time to time there were people looking in at the door of the ward.Ling Yuan knew that he should comfort him, but he couldn't.

He heard his own voice ask softly: "Then do you regret it now?"

Old Wang raised his head, and said bitterly with tears in his eyes: "I should have let him die then!"

yes.Ling Yuan thought, some people are much smarter than you.

A frightened female voice came from the door: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The person who came was Lao Wang's eldest daughter.She looked haggard, and when she saw Ling Yuan, she showed a bit of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Dean Ling, my father is just too sad, and what he said is nonsense, please don't take it to heart."

The old Wang's daughter is different from her brother, she is a very simple and kind woman.Even though the younger brother was always the only one in the eyes of her parents, she has never complained and is filial to her duty.It's just that life doesn't love her enough, instead it adds a lot of burdens to her.Mingming is about the same age as Ling Yuan, and already looks like he is almost fifty.

She has always been very polite to the doctor, and after comforting her father, she went to Ling Yuan to ask about her father's situation.

Ling Yuan was waiting for her outside.To be honest, Lao Wang's illness has reached the point where he can do nothing except try his best to relieve the pain.Lao Wang's daughter listened to his explanation, although she was prepared in her heart, her eyes were red.

She babbled and said, "Dean Ling, is there really no other way? My father has had a hard life all his life. Both he and my mother are old workers in the steel factory. When the factory is doing well, my brother But congenital heart disease was found out, and all the family money was used to give him medicine. Later, my younger brother survived, was selected by some national plan, and underwent surgery for free. Finally, he lived like a normal person. No more. He and my mother have worked so hard for so many years. They have carried cement bags for others, worked as security guards, cleaned toilets, and suffered from everything, but they have not enjoyed a single day of happiness! Now my mother also I'm gone, I'm just such a father. Dean Ling, I beg you, save my father!"

She was about to kneel down as she said that, Ling Yuan was in a state of confusion, and managed to spare a sliver of his mind to support her, and persuaded her to leave with nice words, before returning to his office.

He was full of preoccupations, he was like a wandering spirit along the way, bumped into people and didn't know how to apologize, finally returned to the office, the first thing he did was touch his phone.

When he really pressed the number, he hesitated again.

When Li Xunran answered the phone that day, he didn't avoid him, and the voice on the other end was too loud, although he didn't do it deliberately, he still heard it clearly.

A steel factory worker, a husband and wife surnamed Wang, have a son who is in poor health.

Even if these are all coincidences, what's the matter with Lao Wang and his daughter's contradictory statements?

By the time Ling Yuan realized it, he had unconsciously pressed the call button.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, and Li Xunran's deep and steady voice came over clearly: "Ling Yuan?"

Dean Ling's heart suddenly settled.

He didn't speak for a while, but Li Xunran was anxious: "Hello? Ling Yuan? Are you there?"

Ling Yuan responded to him calmly: "Xunran."

He said: "As for the case you mentioned last time, I may be able to provide some clues. Do you want to talk about it on the phone, or should I go to the Municipal Bureau in person?"

Lao Wang was not surprised when the police rushed into the ward. He cooperated with Li Xunran to put handcuffs on himself, as if he had been waiting for this moment all his life.

He suffered a lot when he was young, but the most difficult thing was the moment when he knew that his beloved son had a congenital heart disease.

That is his son!Little and soft, he can laugh when teased, yell dad, dad when he cries, and hug his calf to act like a spoiled son. How could he get such a disease?

This disease is not incurable, but it requires money, an astronomical sum of money.And they have no money.

As long as you have money, your son will be saved.

Xiao Zhu, who is new to finance, is a good girl, young, beautiful, lively and cheerful.Most importantly, she has money.

The young girl is ignorant of the world, needs special care, and is easy to trust others. When she comes and goes, she treats the husband and wife as big brothers and sisters-in-law, and they call each other very kindly.

It was the [-]th that day, and Xiao Zhu went to the bank to get money as usual. He told Xiao Zhu that the family made her favorite sauerkraut dumplings today, and asked her to come home directly after taking the money, and go back after eating.

Little Zhu never thought that she would never walk out of that door again.

Ling Yuan asked: "How did they dispose of the corpse?"

Li Xunran frowned, with a bit of anger and sadness in his eyes: "Buried it, I dug a hole under the floor of the living room, and sealed it with cement after it was finished."

"They explained to their neighbors that the water pipes in their house had burst and they had to re-connect the water pipes and pave the floor, so although the neighbors heard the noise, they didn't take it seriously. They hid for 20 years, and it was not until this demolition that the bones were exposed. He My wife was scared and committed suicide first."

They were at the gate of the police station when they said this.Although Lao Wang confessed, Ling Yuan, as a witness, still had to come to take notes, and it was almost dark when everything was done.After Li Xunran closed the case, he should have been in a good mood, but he couldn't. Seeing that Ling Yuan was about to leave, he silently sent him to the gate of the police station.

Ling Yuan asked again at this time: "What's the motive?"

Li Xunran sighed wearily: "To treat his son's illness."

Ling Yuan let out a "hmm" and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Xunran felt that his tone was a little weird, so he couldn't help but look sideways at him.

I was startled when I saw it, Ling Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he didn't seem to be able to stand firmly.

He grabbed Ling Yuan's arm: "What's wrong with you?"

Ling Yuan's eyes were a little dazed, and it took him a moment to react, frowning: "I... have a stomachache."

Li Xunran made a decisive decision: "I'll take you to the hospital."

Ling Yuan refused: "It's okay, I'm sick. Just take some medicine."

Li Xunran stretched out a hand to him: "Where's the medicine?"

Ling Yuan couldn't be fooled, so he had to answer honestly: "...the medicine is at home."

He definitely can't drive a car in his current state.Even if he thinks he is fine, as a policeman, Li Xunran must also be responsible for the safety of other people's lives.So he sighed: "Where did you park your car? I'll take you back."

Ling Yuan unexpectedly did not object.

When Li Xunran entered the door, he gave a small sigh of admiration.A large duplex in a prime location in the city center, a good house worthy of the envy of most people.

Unfortunately not a great home.

Li Xunran carefully placed Ling Yuan on the sofa, and asked again: "Do you have noodles at home?"

Ling Yuan stared at him blankly, looking a little dazed.

Li Xunran looked amused, and explained: "It's not good to take stomach medicine on an empty stomach, I'll give you a bowl of noodles, fill your stomach and then take medicine."

Ling Yuan finally regained his sanity: "There are in the kitchen."

Added: "There are eggs in the refrigerator."

Well, I can still order food.

Li Xunran's hands and feet were quick, and he also ordered a bowl for himself, and the two of them sat on the table and ate egg noodles.Ling Yuan is actually much better. Li Xunran's face is very good, and he has been praised from the heart by Dean Ling.

Officer Li waved his chopsticks triumphantly: "That's right, one must have a skill. It's a pity that your family doesn't have instant noodles. I won't let you experience what is delicious in the world."

Ling Yuan couldn't help laughing.Li Xunran looked around at the dining room of his house, which was about the same size as the living room of ordinary people, sincerely set up the great ideal of overthrowing the bourgeoisie, and asked casually, "Isn't it too empty for you to live in such a big house by yourself?"

Ling Yuan paused for a moment with his face-picking hand.

He asked very calmly, "How do you know I'm alone."

Li Xunran had a bad heart, he was too complacent and didn't hide behind his tail for a moment.He was a little embarrassed, and after a while, he said softly: "Ring... There are traces of wearing a ring on your left ring finger... So I guess you are divorced."

Also, when he entered the door just now, he didn't see women's slippers in the shoe cabinet, but he wisely chose to shut up about this.Li Xunran looked up at Ling Yuan, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to pry into your privacy. It's just...you know, professional habits."

Ling Yuan shrugged: "It's okay. It's also true."

Li Xunran watched him bury his head in eating the noodles, but he couldn't eat anymore.

He smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, Ling Yuan. I always seem to say the wrong thing."

Officer Li looks like an abandoned puppy with his dejected look.

Dean Ling softened his heart after just one glance.

Children, what's the truth with him?

He put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "You don't need to apologize. It's not your problem, it's me."

He paused, and then said: "I was born with congenital deficiencies. I have many problems. The treatment costs a lot of money. My biological father thought I was a burden, so he left my mother and ran away with me. My mother took care of me alone. I went around asking people to see a doctor, she was very miserable, her health was not good, and then she became mentally abnormal."

This is an understatement, but whether this is actually the case, both of them know in their hearts.

Ling Yuan continued: "But my luck is very good. Professor Ling who treated my mother is a good man. After my mother passed away, he adopted me and raised me. I am grateful to him for the rest of my life."

He smiled at Li Xunran: "So you see, this really has nothing to do with you. I'm just feeling a little...sentimental today, and I'm not mad at you."

Li Xunran is speechless

Ling Yuan suffered so many grievances, but he said he was very lucky.

He could still laugh, but Li Xunran felt blocked.

He muffled, "I'm sorry."

Ling Yuan really laughed this time: "You still apologize for being addicted, right?"

After eating the noodles, Ling Yuan took two pills with hot water, Li Xunran had no reason to stay, and got up to leave.

Ling Yuan got up to take the key: "I'll take you back."

Li Xunran was stunned for a moment, and declined, "No, I'll live in the police dormitory, it's quite close."

Ling Yuan was a little strange: "You live in the police dormitory?"

Li Xunran's movements froze: "Well, I've been looking for a house for the past two days, and I'll move out if I find it."

It was clear that Ling Yuan's point was not here, but he deliberately pretended to have misunderstood it, and quietly changed the topic away.

Ling Yuan didn't say any more.

When sending Li Xunran out, Ling Yuan suddenly said, "I'll treat you to dinner next time."

He added: "Thank you for meeting today."

Li Xunran tilted his head and smiled.

"Okay."
