Chapter 322: Unexpected Situation
The calligraphy exhibition has ended, and Su Yi and Liu Yan originally planned to return to the capital with Yu Zhan the next day, but there was an unexpected situation.
Wu Qu was seriously injured.
Liu Yan and they learned the news at three o'clock in the morning, and when the three of them rushed to the hospital, Wu Qu had already completed the operation and was in the intensive care unit.
The high-spirited man who only got the exhibition award certificate yesterday morning is lying on the hospital bed at the moment, surrounded by various instruments, and his breath is weak.
There were people standing outside the guardianship room, Ouyang Cen and other leaders of the Calligraphy Association, Zhou Buxian, and the judges who had not yet left the ancient capital, and several policemen were making notes.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Su Yi asked Ouyang Cen what was going on.
Ouyang Cen said that Wu Qu bought a train ticket to leave the ancient capital last night, and the train departed at half past one in the morning, and he checked out from the hotel at about eleven o'clock that night.
The environment of the small hotel is very poor, Wu Qu in order to save money, reluctant to a better hotel, his home in an ordinary county in the northwest, the family was originally good, but four years ago, in order to concentrate on preparing for this calligraphy exhibition, he quit his stable job as a high school teacher, during which his wife gave birth to a second child, and life became very poor.
Wu Qu called an online car-hailing car in advance, because the hotel was located on the back street, the online car-hailing driver called him and told him that the car could not come in and asked him to go to the main road.
When the online car-hailing driver heard the movement, he felt that something was wrong, and when he came over to see the situation, he found that Wu Qu was covered in blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
And there was not a single person around.
Only four hours have passed since the incident, and the police have done a brief survey of the scene.
The place where Wu Qu was attacked was just between the monitoring of the small hotel and the monitoring of the intersection, which was a dead end, and the incident happened too late, and there was no witness around.
Although Wu Qu is a native of the northwest, he rarely comes to the ancient capital, and there are no relatives and friends here, let alone the possibility of enemies.
The police initially deduced that Wu Qu had suffered a vicious robbery, because the online car-hailing driver arrived in time, and the assailant ran away before he had time to search for his finances.
Of course, the police investigation is still ongoing, and professional criminal investigators have retrieved all the surveillance videos of nearby roads in an attempt to grasp the whereabouts of the perpetrators.
They hoped that Wu Qu could see the appearance of the assailant, and planned to ask him to describe the situation when he woke up.
After listening to Ouyang Cen's story, Su Yi couldn't help but look at Liu Yan, he remembered that Liu Yan had said that she was worried that Su Xuezhen would retaliate against them.
If it weren't for Wu Qugang's uprightness and exposing Su Xuezhen and Wang Qinghai's behavior of colluding in advance, Su Xuezhen would not have ended up so depressed today.
Liu Yan frowned, she had an intuition that Su Xuezhen did this.
Seeing that several policemen were about to leave, Su Yi immediately stopped them and said,
"Comrade policeman, Wu Qu has enemies in ancient times!"
"His enemy's name is Su Xuezhen!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the calligraphers present became very solemn.
The police attached great importance to this clue and questioned in detail about the entanglement between Su Yi, Wu Qu and Su Xuezhen.
They believe that Su Xuezhen is indeed suspected of committing a major crime, and they carefully analyze it and think that there is another person who may also be retaliated against by Su Xuezhen.
They looked at Chen Jianqiu at the same time,
Chen Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said fearlessly, "I dare to act boldly, so I am not afraid of Su Xuezhen's retaliation." ”
Ouyang Cen disagreed, "Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Su Xuezhen knows very well that you reported to me that there was a problem with Su Maolin's "Broken Kiln Fu" at that time. ”
The same attitude is the attitude of the police, these people are well-known calligraphers, people with social status, if something really happens, it is their dereliction of duty!
On the one hand, they reported this new situation to the headquarters and asked for additional personnel to investigate Su Xuezhen's recent whereabouts, and on the other hand, in order to ensure Chen Jianqiu's safety, they sent someone to escort him back to the hotel.
Chen Jianqiu will leave the ancient capital by plane tomorrow afternoon, and the police asked the hotel to strengthen security.
Other calligraphers also left one after another, only Su Yi and Yu Zhan, Ouyang Cen and Zhou Buyan remained in the hospital.
Wu Qu suffered a serious brain injury, and he was not out of danger for the time being, and he didn't even have an acquaintance who could take care of him in the ancient capital.
The words of rescue surgery and hospitalization were signed by Ouyang Cen.
Seeing Wu Qu suddenly become like this, Liu Yan felt very uncomfortable.
Zhou Buxian was also uncomfortable, although he was very dissatisfied with Wu Qu's unprovoked behavior at first, but after two competitions, he learned that Wu Qu was actually a very simple person, dedicated to realizing his dream of being a calligrapher.
Yu Zhan had only chatted with Wu Qu for a few days, and felt that the other party was a person with more connotation, and he felt sorry for Wu Qu when he encountered an accident.
Everyone's mood was very depressed.
The head nurse of the intensive care unit came over to change the dressing, saw the five people standing in the corridor, and said to them, "The patient is still in a coma, I don't know when I will wake up, there is no need for all five of you to wait here," she looked at Su Yi and Ouyang Cen, "Especially you two are old, it's not okay not to sleep all night, or you go back to rest first, it's enough for the three of them to be here." ”
The head nurse had a point, and the tiredness on the faces of the two old men was obvious.
Liu Yan said to Yu Zhan, "You send Professor Su and President Ouyang back, and I and I will stay here." ”
Different from the direction of the police's suspicion, Liu Yan still firmly believes in her own point of view - Su Xuezhen is more likely to report the recovery of Yi, she is not worried that Su Yi will go back to the hotel alone, and she can rest assured that Yu Zhan is here.
Yu Zhan originally didn't know anything about Su Xuezhen, but from their conversation with the police, he could roughly piece together the image of Su Xuezhen, and he also thought that Su Xuezhen and Su Yi had a deeper grudge.
Considering that Liu Yan still had Zhou Buxuan by her side, and the hospital was a relatively safe public place, he thought that Liu Yan should have nothing to do, so he took over the task of escorting Su Yi and Ouyang Cen.
Zhou Buyan handed over his car keys to Yu Zhan and told him to protect Ouyang Cen, after all, it was Ouyang Cen who ordered the disqualification of Su Xuezhen's judges.
Yu Zhan said that he would definitely escort the two elderly people safely.
After he left, Liu Yan and Zhou Buyan sat on chairs in the corridor, silently waiting for Wu Qu to wake up. Zhou Buyan said, "Originally, everyone was happy to get the award, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly." If it was really Su Xuezhen who did it, then he would have lost his conscience. ”
