The child did not take the matter to heart at the time, but that night, when Anqing did not see Sun Meng return home, and even Ziya and Zhi Qing went missing, the couple became anxious. Ultimately, after searching everywhere without success, Liu Haoming had no choice but to contact an old friend who worked in a news channel to broadcast a missing person announcement.
This announcement quickly spread through the streets and alleys, reaching the ears of the parents of the child who had deceived Sun Meng. It was quite unusual for someone to go missing in a big city overnight, especially three people at once. Some thought it was just a bored prank, while others treated it as a joke to share over tea, but no one took it seriously.
The parents of the child treated the incident as a joke and shared it at home. Upon hearing this, the child told their parents that they knew where that sister had gone. Given the reward on offer, the family called the phone number left on the missing person announcement.
Upon receiving the call, Anqing and her husband hurriedly rushed over that night, only to find desolation all around. The only suspicious place was the three lonely buildings covered in green moss. Liu Haoming immediately dialed 110 to request a search of the three buildings left standing after the earthquake in the North Suburb.
As a result of this search, problems began to emerge...
In the hospital, after finishing several bottles of liquid infusion, Ziya was free to move around. She really wanted to see Zhi Qing.
Sun Meng was more seriously injured and, having been further stimulated, was still not fully conscious.
Although Zhi Qing's life was not in danger, he had sustained severe injuries; his left rib was punctured. According to the doctor, it wasn't just a rib issue; there was damage to the pleura and lungs... If he hadn't been thinking about Ziya so much, he might have already succumbed.
Ziya looked at Zhi Qing in the intensive care unit. He lay quietly there while various medical devices monitored his bodily functions. Ziya pressed her delicate fingers against the glass; her breath fogged up the surface, creating a layer of white mist that obscured her view of Zhi Qing. In a panic, she wiped away the mist with her hand, her eyes shimmering with tears that rolled in her gaze... In her heart, she spoke to him, promising that once he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she would personally tell him an uplifting gift.
At the same hospital was also the perpetrator Liang Bo, but his treatment was quite different. There were public security personnel stationed at his door 24/7 with undercover agents assigned.
His head was wrapped in white gauze, his arm immobilized with a plaster splint, and his leg hung over the railing of the hospital bed. As long as he was conscious, there would be a public security officer with a notebook at his bedside, carefully asking him about how he committed his crime and if there were any accomplices.
Liang Bo remained tight-lipped despite the investigator's persistent questioning; he kept his eyes closed as if dozing off while enjoying the numbing sensation from the liquid entering his body.
Zhiqing was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward, and Ziya naturally became his only part-time nurse, moving between Sun Meng's and Zhi Qing's rooms.
Liang Bo had been in the hospital for half a month when the Investigator forcibly moved him to prison to continue his treatment. Liang Bo's stubbornness made it impossible to conclude this sensational and twisted murder case for the time being. Those involved in the case were left with big question marks, making it difficult to apprehend them.
Zhiqing sweetly ate the fruit that Ziya had peeled for him. "How's the case going? Any progress?" He frowned, thinking of his deceased classmates and friends, which made him angry as he asked Ziya.
"Not yet! It’s said that he refuses to admit anything. He’s not cooperating. I heard from someone in the bureau that it’s not just Liang Bo; do you think he might have teamed up with the other three?"
"Isn't there still a Masked Man? Has the Public Security Bureau contacted us for identification?"
"They came to see you today because they wanted us to identify the body, but you were sleeping, and since the doctor didn’t allow you to leave the ward, they left."
"Oh... I need to get up. I have to bring those bastards to justice; only then will I feel at ease," Zhiqing said, but the pain in his ribs forced beads of sweat down his forehead.
"No way! How about I call my dad to take care of you while I go identify..."
There was a knock at the door, and Ziya got up to open it. It was the Public Security Personnel who had come by earlier.
"Awake?" the newcomer smiled.
"Yes, you all..." Zhiqing looked at the large bag of fruit that the visitor was carrying, feeling a bit embarrassed as he nodded and asked curiously. He lay back down again, and Ziya quickly handed him a soft pillow to support his head.
"Well, we thought since your health isn’t fully restored and the suspect isn’t cooperating in prison, we can only bring a photo of another Masked Man for you three to identify. The goal is to gather more clues from different angles. Here, take a look."
Ziya took the photo handed to her, revealing an elderly man with a gaunt face and thinning hair. "Is he... the director of our Town Hospital?" Zhiqing was confused; surely the police must have made a mistake!
"Yes, he is the director of your Town Hospital. A few years ago, he was suspended for allowing his younger brother to commit mistakes. Later, considering his expertise in Gallstones, the hospital reinstated him as a doctor, and he continues to work there."
"What does he have to do with this?" Ziya asked. She didn't remember much about this hospital director, but Zhiqing seemed to recall him clearly.
"He is related to the suspect Liang Bo, but their relationship is quite complicated."
The Investigator then began to recount the story of Liang Bo and this elderly man who had committed serious crimes despite his advanced age.
Mao Deming's mother had been married for several years without conceiving. Under pressure from her mother-in-law and husband, she adopted a four-year-old girl. This girl was the child of a couple from another region who were hiding from family planning regulations.
However, within less than six months of the girl arriving at the Mao family, she became pregnant. As a result, her treatment in the Mao family worsened. After the Mao Family Daughter-in-Law successfully gave birth to a pair of Twin Brothers, the girl became a thorn in their side.
When the Mao Family Daughter-in-Law had her second child, the girl could no longer endure the abuse and secretly ran away. She was taken in by a kind-hearted person, but deep inside her heart lay a shadow of hatred; she hated her parents and despised the Mao family.
Eventually, the girl grew up, got married, and had two sons—one named Liang Bo and the other Liang Chao...
Although the Mao family was large and prosperous, they were unaware of the misfortune that had befallen them through generations. The terrifying Lymphoma quietly targeted them. The head of the Mao family died from Lymphoma, and even Mao Deming's twin brother unfortunately contracted it as well.
