Chapter 421 Team Zhou’s routine inquiry

Author: Nangong Xiaozhu

Zhou Hongshan's family lives near the police station, which is close to the county seat, so it is a bit far from Huayu Village, and it took forty minutes to drive there.

When Zhou Hongshan arrived at the Huayu Village Health Center, it was already past four o'clock, and it wouldn't be long before it was time for the villagers to get up to work in the morning.

At this point, there are not many people in the health center, and occasionally there are a few emergency rooms. Generally, there are more elderly people visiting here during the day.

Young people or children who have major problems are almost always sent to large county hospitals.

If it is just a minor cold, everyone will choose to get treatment nearby.

In fact, Huayu Village has developed well, and the health center has been built again and again. Now the environment inside is quite good.

I heard that several good doctors were transferred from the county hospital.

"Team Zhou..." Hearing the footsteps in the corridor, Zhou Hongshan's subordinate immediately stood up. He was a little sleepy sitting on the bench in the corridor, but now that he saw Zhou Hongshan coming, he felt better.

"How are you? Are you awake now?" Zhou Hongshan immediately asked the nurse on duty when he came here, and learned that the village chief Li Xinqiang lived in this ward.

Zhou Hongshan glanced at the door of the ward and could see the situation inside through the glass window above the door.

There are no single rooms here, only wards for three people. However, because there are relatively few people and the village chief's status is quite special, he is the only one who lives in this ward for three people.

"Why is he alone, where is Secretary Li?" Zhou Hongshan saw that Li Xinqiang was the only one lying on the bed in the ward, and no one was taking care of him.

Previously, his subordinate said that it was sent by his secretary Li Tao, so Li Tao is a relative of Li Xinqiang and should be around to take care of it.

"Secretary Li is going to turn on the water. Captain Zhou, I'm going to wash my face first."

"Okay, go ahead."

With Zhou Hongshan's consent, the subordinate went to the bathroom.

Zhou Hongshan stood outside the ward, looking at the situation inside. Li Xinqiang seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed. Zhou Hongshan knew that it would be inappropriate to disturb him now, so he sat down and prepared to wait.

After a few minutes, Li Tao came back with a hot water bottle in his hand.

"Team Zhou?" Li Tao saw Zhou Hongshan from a distance and called out.

To be honest, Zhou Hongshan almost fell asleep. When he heard Li Tao shouting, he was startled and immediately raised his head.

"Oh, Secretary Li, you are back."

Zhou Hongshan immediately stood up and said hello to Li Tao.

"Hey... I'm going to get some boiling water. Is my uncle sleeping?" Li Tao also took a look through the small glass window and then put down the hot water bottle.

"Maybe. I didn't go in because I was afraid of disturbing the village chief's rest. Secretary Li, how about we talk. I want to know what happened. Sit down and talk."

Zhou Hongshan pointed to a bench on one side. Li Tao hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.

Zhou Hongshan and Li Tao sat down, and Zhou Hongshan immediately started asking -

"How did the village chief get injured? When did you discover him? In the afternoon I asked someone to go find the village chief to find out some information, but my people said he was not at the village committee."

"Oh, I was always here before. Then the village chief went out for some reason. I don't know. He just said that he wanted to be alone and quietly. Maybe the recent deaths of so many people in the village made him very irritable.

Bar……"

"I could also see his difficulties, so I didn't bother him. I went around the village and talked with the villagers. Later, I went to his office to look for him at night, but I didn't see him either, so I was ready to go back.

At that time, I saw him lying on the grass behind the village committee, his head still bleeding."

"I was scared at the time. I didn't know if it was serious or not, so I had to send him to the health center immediately. The county hospital was too far away and I was afraid of wasting time..."

"Where were you so late? Why did you suddenly think of going to the village chief at night?" Zhou Hongshan asked as a matter of routine, but Li Tao laughed sheepishly.

"It's like this...I went to see a movie with that...that Dr. Xiaolin, and I came back a little late. I thought I was just passing by, so I went to see my uncle. Oh, I'm just a friend. It's nothing to do.

"..." Li Tao said and explained deliberately.

"Dr. Xiao Lin? Is this Lin Jingjing here?" Zhou Hongshan remembered that Lin Jingjing was a doctor sent from the county hospital and was said to be a top student at the Medical University.

"Yes... I was going home after watching the movie with her. We passed by the village committee on the way. I went to see if my uncle was there first. It might have been twelve o'clock at that time, yes.

After a movie night, I didn’t see my uncle in the office, so I thought about going back from the path, but I saw him lying on the grass.”

Li Tao added some details, and Zhou Hongshan nodded.

"Then after you found out that the village chief was injured, did you tell Dr. Xiaolin? You and she went home separately after watching the movie, right?" Zhou Hongshan asked, and Li Tao nodded immediately.

"Yes, I originally wanted to send her back. I saw it was so late, and the village has been uneasy recently. She said no, she lived nearby, and told me to be careful. I was not embarrassed to send her back.

Home, I will come back by myself."

"After I found out that my uncle was injured, I immediately called Dr. Xiaolin, and she rushed back. She also called a car and brought my uncle here, where he was treated by another doctor."

"I checked and said there was nothing serious. I just hit my head and was bruised. I also did a CT scan and it showed nothing serious, so I didn't go to a big hospital. I thought I would be fine after just two days of rest." Li Tao said.

He sighed and rubbed his hands.

"Officer Zhou, I'm sorry, the time is rather awkward now. I know your case handling procedures, so I will definitely ask you questions as a matter of routine, but my uncle is probably asleep. Otherwise, why don't you come back during the day?"

"It's okay. I'll wait. It'll be the same if I ask again when the village chief wakes up. By the way, did Dr. Xiaolin go back later? Or is he still in the health center?" Zhou Hongshan asked. When Li Tao was about to answer, they

Hearing the footsteps approaching, the two people looked over at the same time.

I saw a girl with shoulder-length hair in a white coat walking over. She also wore glasses.

"Dr. Xiao Lin? I was just talking about you..." When Li Tao saw Lin Jingjing coming, he immediately stood up and smiled at her.

Lin Jingjing is already thirty this year, but she looks younger than Li Tao, who is thirty-six. In fact, the two of them are not much different in age, so they are relatively suitable.
