Chapter 8: The Death of Xiao Hai

  He fell asleep until midnight, and at more than one o'clock, Yu Xianyao was suddenly awakened by a urgent barking of dogs. Yu Xianyao turned over and continued to sleep, there were many dogs in the village, maybe they were fighting in the middle of the night.

  It was normal for dogs to bark at night in the countryside, and he didn't think much of it.

  However, the barking of dogs was very loud and annoying. As a result, Yu Xianyao couldn't sleep, he lay in bed, thinking about Xiaohai's family again, feeling guilty towards them.

  The dog barked continuously until 3 am. Suddenly, a hurried cry for help came from the neighboring Xiao Hai's house: "Save me! Save me!"

  Yu Xianyao was shocked and hastily got up from bed. He rushed to Xiao Hai's house like flying, and when he went out the door, he also rushed out without even turning back to close the door.

  Before long, he ran to Xiao Hai's house. The lights in Xiao Hai's house were very dim, and the room was dark at night. Some places still had to rely on flashlights to illuminate them clearly. He fumbled his way towards Xiao Hai's room.

  He could clearly determine that the cry for help came from Xiaohai's room, and Xiaohai's door was not closed. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiaohai lying on the ground with white foam in his mouth, both hands covering his abdomen with a painful expression.

  The person who just cried for help was Blue's aunt, who was now shaking Xiao Hai's body and crying her heart out.

  Before long, Uncle Lan hurried in with a bucket of hot water and, seeing Yu Xiangyao, burst into a loud scolding: "You turtle egg! You actually brought a bowl of poisonous soup for my son to drink. Has our family offended you? Why are you harming us like this?"

  "Short-lived boy! You previously invited Xiao Hai to the mine, resulting in his miserable state. Now you're sending poisonous soup again. What kind of heart do you have?! Waaahhh..." Blue Aunt wailed, and upon hearing Blue Uncle scolding Yu Xiangyao, she also started cursing loudly.

  Yu Xianyao was shocked as soon as he saw this situation. What poisonous soup, that chicken soup his whole family had also drunk before, how could it be poisonous?

  At that time, he was also in a hurry and explained: "Uncle Lan, inviting Xiaohai to the mine was indeed my fault, but I kindly sent chicken soup, how can you say I brought poisonous soup?"

  "Get out, get out! Our family doesn't welcome a second-rate guy like you!" Lao Da shouted loudly and tried to drag Yu Xianyao out, but Yu Xianyao was too strong, he couldn't budge him at all.

  Yu Xianyao no longer paid attention to Uncle Lan and Auntie, and went forward to check on Xiao Hai's condition. He was foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, and his face had turned a pale blue-green color, which were indeed symptoms of poisoning.

  He wanted to examine Xiao Hai's body again, but Uncle Lan walked over and pulled him back, saying in a cold voice: "You little scamp, if you dare touch him again, we'll go to the police station and report you!"

  Helpless, Yu Xianyao had to leave. The Lanzhou couple did not want to see Yu Xianyao again, and he couldn't practice medicine, feeling useless staying here. However, just as he reached the door, he heard a loud roar and heart-wrenching wails behind him.

  "Don't go! You've killed someone and you still want to leave?" Blue Uncle's loud voice startled Yu Xingyao, who immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around.

  Auntie had cried until she was a mess, she lay on Xiaohai's body with a handful of snot and tears: "Xiaohai, how could you just leave like this? How could you bear to abandon your mom and dad?"

  Yu Xian's heart skipped a beat, what? Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai is dead?

  Yu Xianyao's face turned pale, and he wanted to walk forward to check, but Lao Da Shu immediately stopped him and shouted: "Don't move, you murderer!"

  As he spoke, he took out a Nokia brick phone and quickly pressed four keys. Immediately after, he said: "Is this the police station? I'm from Zhu Zi Keng Tree Rong's house! Our son has been murdered!"

  Yu Xing's heart was uneasy, he stood there stupidly motionless. At this moment, Lao Da Shu looked at him as if he were a thief, making Yu Xing not know what to do, and could only stand there foolishly.

  Before long, a police car from the local police station arrived, probably around 15 minutes later. Two policemen came, one middle-aged policeman and a young female police officer.

  A middle-aged policeman with a sturdy build, wearing a police uniform, quickly walked into the house. The female officer stood outside the door, and under the dim light, her impressive figure was visible, but her face couldn't be seen clearly.

  "What happened?" The middle-aged policeman looked at the few people in front of him and asked faintly.

  "Director Chen is him! This short-lived guy poisoned my son to death with toxic soup!" Blue Uncle immediately stood up and pointed at Yu Xianyao, saying to the middle-aged policeman.

  Director Chen looked at Yu Chengyao with suspicion, his eyes like a poisonous snake. In his gaze, Yu Chengyao felt that he had nowhere to hide, as if he was being seen through.

  Chen Shouzhang fell silent for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since it was death from poisoning, let's examine the body first!"

  He walked over to the body of Xiao Hai and took a look. The white foam on the ground had not yet dried up. Under the lamp light, it looked disgusting, and Xiao Hai's face was also pale gray, apparently poisoned to death.

  He beckoned to the policewoman outside the door: "Come over and take this white foam star away for testing!"

  The policewoman didn't say a word, and walked straight past. She quickly put on her gloves, took out a small tweezers and an evidence bag, and quickly packed some white foamy stars.

  After doing all this, Director Chen asked Mr. and Mrs. Lan to move Xiao Hai's body out of the room and put it in the police car.

  Yu Xingyao knew he couldn't escape the relationship and didn't avoid it, proactively getting on the police car.

  It was already after 4 am when they arrived at the police station in the countryside. The two forensic doctors and the police officer responsible for examining the body, who had just been woken up by Director Chen, walked towards the police station with sleepy eyes. After seeing the body, they all became wide awake.

  At five o'clock, the test results came out. Xiao Hai did not die from poisoning, but through autopsy, it was found that Xiao Hai's internal organs were severely damaged and had severe internal bleeding. The cause of death was thus determined to be shock caused by massive internal bleeding, leading to death!

  Forensic examination of the leftovers from his dinner tonight also did not show any signs of poisoning, and the police specifically checked the blood, which indeed showed no poisoning.

  This result is unbelievable, and the Blues also shouted in disbelief to re-examine. However, Director Chen trusts his subordinates very much, these are all old doctors with more than ten years of clinical experience, and the instruments in the laboratory are also intact, he does not believe that there will be any unexpected situation.

  The test results of that foamy star have also come out, which is just a mixture of gastric acid and saliva in the dirty organs, not the saliva spit out when poisoned.

  The matter was finally cleared up, and Yu Xianyao was ruled out as a suspect in the murder case. However, the transcript still had to be made, and by the time the whole process was completed, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

  The village chief rushed over after hearing the news, and everyone discussed it and unanimously determined that the county hospital was not doing its job. When checking the injury, a thorough examination was not done, resulting in Lan Xiaohai's bizarre death.

  This matter involved a life, and Director Chen attached great importance to it. He went to Lán Xiǎohǎi's home again to retrieve the county hospital's X-ray and B-ultrasound records. Under the forensic doctor's confirmation, during the full-body examination, Xiǎohǎi had only suffered lung injuries, which was also clearly shown on the films.

  The county hospital's report was not fake and there was no misdiagnosis. However, what exactly caused Lan Xiaohai's liver rupture and massive internal bleeding leading to death?

  At this moment, the case became extremely bizarre and was labeled as a "suspenseful case".

  From the investigation of the case, Yu Xianyao vaguely felt that someone was framing him. And this person designed a series of traps to frame him for killing Lan Xiaohai, but what was the reason?

  After careful consideration, Yu Xianyao was able to confirm that during this period of time, he had only offended the group of miners and Li Boss, and hadn't made any other enemies.

  But who is so vicious? Actually laid a hand on Xiaohai, and wanted to shift the blame onto himself! Is it that group of miners or Li Boss? The matter simply has no lead, last night when rushing to Xiaohai's home, didn't see anyone suspicious coming out from their house.

  Li and those miners haven't been back to the village since then, which left him with no lead, unable to determine who was most suspicious.

  He felt that the case had been investigated to this point and seemed to have some omissions, but he didn't know what was wrong. After all, he wasn't a professional and didn't understand the investigation either.

  But by now, his suspicion of murder had been ruled out, which made him laugh. How could the person in the dark make such a low-level mistake? He was actually framed for poisoning and killing, but Huanhuan let Xiaohai die from a ruptured spleen instead.

  Bad things happened one after another, first Mr. Li wanted to kill himself and Xiaohai.

  Then Xiao Hai died at home, but he was misunderstood by Uncle Lan and Aunt as the murderer. All these things made Yu Xingyao feel physically and mentally exhausted. He returned home to report safety to his sister-in-law and then went back to the mountain.
