"Aunt Deng, hello. I am Xiao Hua from the Serious Crime Team of the Jiangjun City Public Security Bureau. Knocking on the door of the hero's house, Xiao Hua lit up the police officer card to Deng Yuzhen, who came to open the door, and said straight to the point: "According to Yinghao's reaction, there are many doubts about the cause of death of his father Youyuanzhi, who died of lung cancer thirteen years ago, so I came to investigate this matter." ”

"You...... What's wrong with my son?"

"Aunt Deng, can we go to the house to talk?"

"Officer Xiao, please come in. ”

It can almost be described as panicked Deng Yuzhen, who is over fifty years old, but still charming, but only a little haggard. Therefore, after coming to the living room and sitting down, Xiao Hua first comforted the other party and said: "Aunt Deng don't worry too much, although there are heroes who have violated the laws of the country, if they can cooperate with us well and have meritorious performance, they can be punished lightly or commuted." ”

"What did he do wrong?"

It seemed that if Deng Yuzhen was not explained, the next conversation would not be able to take place, so Xiao Hua pondered for a moment and said: "According to the information we have, there are heroes who are suspected of endangering national security. ”

Deng Yuzhen obviously understands this crime. So when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stood opposite Xiao Hua across the coffee table, unable to say a word, and his body trembled slightly.

"Aunt Deng, you sit down first. Seeing this, Xiao Hua had no choice but to reach out and pull her to the sofa beside him, and poured her a glass of boiled water instead, and persuaded her to drink two sips before continuing: "We learned from Youyinghao that it is not easy for you to raise him with hard work. But since it happened, it had to be faced. Especially according to Yinghao's confession, he was deceived to embark on this road of no return. Fortunately, it has not caused much harm to the interests of the country, so if Aunt Deng is willing to persuade him to actively cooperate with us, the situation may not be as serious as you think. ”

"I ...... Officer Xiao, I do. As long as it can alleviate the guilt of the hero, you can do whatever you tell me to do. Deng Yuzhen took Xiao Hua's hand and said in a pleading tone, "Officer Xiao, can you let me meet Yinghao?"

From Deng Yuzhen's bloodshot eyes, it can be seen that since Rong Liang pretended to be a friend of Yinghao, she couldn't contact her son quickly, and she definitely didn't sleep well in the past two days.

"Aunt Deng, I can't be the master of this. Xiao Hua, who is also a mother, was shocked by the helpless eyes of the other party that suddenly dimmed, and said involuntarily: "However, I can help you ask for the leader." ”

Hearing Xiao Hua say this, Deng Yuzhen, who had rekindled hope, took the initiative to ask, "Officer Xiao, what do you need me to do?"

"Just a few questions I want to ask you about. ”

"Officer Xiao asked, as long as I knew it, I would never hide a word. ”

"Did Aunt Deng notice the abnormality of her husband's illness thirteen years ago?"

The tears that were already rolling in his eyes were hooked by Xiao Hua's words. Deng Yuzhen wiped her tears and recounted the various abnormalities that her husband showed after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. The general content is basically the same as what Xiao Hua heard from Dr. Chen in the hospital, but in more detail.

"Why would he do that?"

"No matter how I asked him, he said he didn't want to drag us down. ”

"Can you believe it?"

"Believe it, he was a good man. If it is checked out, it is already an advanced stage of lung cancer. Then Deng Yuzhen asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, what else can there be?"

"Didn't you suspect it, maybe something else?"

"No, I never doubted it. ”

"Auntie, do you remember, did she not cooperate with the treatment as soon as she was found to have lung cancer, or did she ......?"

"When I first found out, Yuanzhi was not like that. Deng Yuzhen recalled: "I remember that we consulted the doctor about the cure rate of advanced lung cancer, and when the doctor said that if the patient cooperates with the treatment and can self-regulate his or her psychological emotions, there is at least a 50% chance that the patient's life will be extended by five to ten years." And Yuanzhi also said that he would actively cooperate with the treatment.

It wasn't until he was admitted to the hospital, more than a month to be precise, that he suddenly changed. Either secretly pulled out the infusion needle, or threw away the medicine while people were unprepared, so that I watched over him 24 hours a day. Can...... Still didn't ....... ”

Speaking of which, Deng Yuzhen couldn't cry anymore.

"Auntie, please mourn. Xiao Hua persuaded and asked, "How long did you die after being hospitalized?"

"Less than half a year. He was the first of the patients with the same condition as him. ”

"During that time, I mean, there was a heroic father, but anyone went to see him before his mood changed?"

"Yes. Deng Yuzhen said without thinking: "His classmates, colleagues in the unit, people go almost every day. At the time, I wondered if someone had said something to him that he shouldn't have said. But if you think about it, I haven't found anything suspicious until today. ”

Without directly asking Zhao Bingming if he had been there or said anything, Xiao Hua asked instead: "Auntie, do you remember who he talked to when he was alive?"

"He is very popular and never offends people, so the relationship with classmates and colleagues, including neighbors, is very good. Deng Yuzhen recalled: "Whenever he was off work, there were always guests at home, most of whom were his young colleagues who had not started a family. ”

"Aunt Deng carefully recalls, are there any special people among them?"

"I can't say anything special, but a few of them are more diligent. Speaking of this, Deng Yuzhen's expression showed a little embarrassment and said: "The most diligent one is also the most chatty with Yinghao and his father, who is not only his classmate in the technical school, but also his colleague Zhao Bingming at the time." ”

"Did Zhao Bingming visit Yinghao's father when he was hospitalized?"

"Yes, he hadn't been to our house for a long time before that time. Since Yinghao's father was hospitalized, it has not been one or twice. ”

"Was it before or after the mood change of the heroic father?"

"It was before. Deng Yuzhen, who was alert, immediately asked, "Could it be that Officer Xiao suspects that he said something to Yinghao's father that he shouldn't have said?"

"I just asked casually. Auntie, can you tell us more about this Zhao Bingming's situation?"

Although Xiao Hua had been asking about her husband, who had been deceased for thirteen years, Deng Yuzhen still replied honestly: "Zhao Bingming and You Yuanzhi went to study at the Petroleum Machinery Technician School at the same time, and later were assigned to work at the oil depot of the Municipal Petroleum Company at the same time. The two have always gotten along well. Especially Zhao Bingming got married late, so every Saturday and Sunday, he will come over for dinner. ”

"Later, I mean, did Zhao Bingming still come often after he got married?"

"Fewer came. Since his wife gave birth to a daughter, he has hardly stopped visiting the house. ”

"After your husband died, did you still have contact with each other?"

"How do you say it? It's just a phone call during the New Year's holidays or something. They never came to each other again. ”

"Does your son know Zhao Bingming?"

"Yes. Deng Yuzhen said this, with a slight hint of gratitude to Zhao Bingming in her tone, and said: "Yinghao was not admitted to university, only studied in a vocational school, and after graduation, Zhao Bingming helped him find his current job." ”

"Did you ask him, or did he offer to help?"

I heard Yinghao say that Zhao Bingming took the initiative to contact him. ”

Xiao Hua felt a little strange about what Deng Yuzhen said that since Zhao Bingming got married and gave birth to a daughter, especially after the death of Youyuanzhi, he almost stopped coming to the door. It stands to reason that Zhao Bingming and You Yuanzhi have such a good relationship, when You Yuanzhi died of illness, Zhao Bingming, who was a classmate and a colleague, shouldn't he take the initiative to help the orphans and widows left by his friends, why didn't he even enter the door?

"Aunt Deng, have there been any conflicts between you and Zhao Bingming?"

"There was no contradiction. Seeing Deng Yuzhen suddenly lowered her head, and her expression was a little embarrassed, Xiao Hua had already guessed something.

"Aunt Deng, I don't mean anything else. Speaking of which, Xiao Hua had to reveal a little bit of Zhao Bingming's situation to Deng Yuzhen: "That Zhao Bingming was a very key figure in the case of your son Youyinghao, and it may even be related to your husband's emotional changes at the time, and then he no longer cooperated with the treatment. So, I want you to tell you everything about him. ”
