Chapter 3: The Detective Returns
Although the woman with the little girl did not see any injuries, her face was very bad, and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. The woman patted the little girl's head and led her to Yang Wenbin.
"Come and let me see, it's okay." Yang Wenbin put on his glasses and said gently. The little girl timidly stretched out her injured arm, and the bruise on the arm was terribly red and swollen, which was too much for a little girl. But fortunately, children's bones are still soft, and they can grow well with a little attention.
"It's not a big deal, it looks scary, but it doesn't matter if you take a break. I'll prescribe some medicine to reduce the swelling, and then you go next door and get Dr. Li to wrap a bandage. Yang Wenbin wrote the prescription, smiled bitterly, and shrugged his shoulders, "Given the ...... I can't do this right now. β
The woman took the paper written by Yang Wenbin and thanked her. Her red and swollen eyes and lowered eyelashes made Yang Wenbin can't help but wonder if the injuries on the little girl's body could be caused by her father's domestic violence.
"How did the little girl get hurt?" Yang Wenbin was not a person who liked to talk a lot, but this time he didn't know why, he blurted out and asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this question came out, the woman's tears suddenly fell. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's complicated. Thank you doctor for your concern. Then he took the little girl's hand and prepared to leave the room.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the little girl suddenly pointed to Yang Wenbin's injured arm and asked, "How did the doctor's brother's arm hurt?" β
Yang Wenbin and the woman were stunned for a moment at the same time, they didn't expect the little girl to ask such a question.
"Aren't you a doctor?" The little girl continued, "Why did the doctor get hurt?" β
The woman looked at Yang Wenbin, the expression on her face was very embarrassed, she took the little girl's hand again and prepared to pull her away, "Xiaoqiu, don't talk nonsense, let's go." β
Seeing this, Yang Wenbin hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, bent down and looked at Xiaoqiu at eye level, and said very patiently, "Doctors can also get hurt, because the doctor's brother is also a human being, of course, there will be times when you are not careful." β
"But can't the doctor cure himself?" The little girl asked stubbornly.
"Yes, doctors can't cure themselves." Yang Wenbin laughed, "But the doctor can heal other people, such as your injured hand." β
The little girl hurriedly asked, "Can the doctor cure everyone?" β
"Sometimes." Yang Wenbin replied.
"Brother Doctor, can you cure my father?" The little girl asked innocently with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Xiaoqiu!" The woman on the side immediately shouted at the girl and motioned for her to stop talking. The little girl turned her head to look at the woman, and her eyes were filled with tears, and she began to cry on the spot.
"No, I want my dad! The doctor could cure him! Absolutely! β
"The doctor can't cure your father, he's gone." Hearing the little girl's cry, the woman also began to shed tears, but she still showed a strong expression and comforted the girl, "Be obedient, go with Mom, I'll buy you ice cream to eat on the way back, good, okay?" β
"Don't, don't!" The way the girl cried was very distressing, "I don't want ice cream, I want Dad!" β
Looking at the tears of the two women in front of him, Yang Wenbin was a little at a loss. He hurriedly pulled two napkins from the table and handed them to the mother and daughter, who quickly thanked them and used all the napkins to wipe the child's nose and tears.
"I'm sorry, but...... Can you tell me what's going on? Yang Wenbin asked with concern.
The woman wiped her tears, nodded slowly, and said, "My husband's name is Ke Yan." β
Ke Yan? A vague impression flashed through Yang Wenbin's mind. It seems that I had heard the name somewhere, but I couldn't remember anything.
"My husband is the warden of the City C City Jail." The woman seemed to be holding back her tears, her fingers stroking the girl's hair, "he...... He was murdered. β
Now Yang Wenbin remembered it all of a sudden. Ke Yan. That's right, that's the name. This is the name of the person who killed the serial murderer Xiao Yang after escaping from prison! It is Ke Yan, the warden of the city prison! Yang Wenbin's eyes widened in surprise.
"I, I'm sorry...... I mean, mourning is a good thing. Yang Wenbin stammered and comforted.
"It's okay." The woman shook her head, "The police are also trying their best to investigate this case, and I hope they can catch the escaped prisoner soon." It's just that I pity this child, who has no father at such a young age, and she ...... She watched ......"
At this point, the woman couldn't stop crying.
Yang Wenbin remembered the news he saw during his lunch break. When the warden Ke Yan was killed, his six-year-old daughter happened to come out of the toilet and saw the scene of her father's murder. At that time, the murderer had not left, and when he saw the little girl come out, he violently threw her to the ground and fled.
β¦β¦ That's how the injury on her arm came from.
"The doctor can heal him! My dad won't die! He's fought many, many bad guys, and he's not afraid of them! The little girl cried out, and the loud voice attracted many passers-by to look curiously into the consultation room, "But there is a lot of blood...... A lot of blood......"
"Okay Xiaoqiu, it's time for us to go. Don't be like that, everybody's watching us. The woman hurriedly picked up the crying girl and hurriedly wanted to leave the room.
"Wait a minute." Yang Wenbin stood up from the chair with a "Teng" sound, startling the woman.
"Ma'am, can I leave you a number?" Yang Wenbin asked softly.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly, "Yes, yes...... But why? β
Yang Wenbin said slowly, "My name is Yang Wenbin, you may have seen this name on the news. β
The woman's mouth opened wide in surprise, then she smiled with joy and nodded desperately, "I know, you are ...... You're the detective doctor! β
The little girl looked back in confusion, she didn't know what the two adults were talking about.
"Xiaoqiu." Yang Wenbin reached out and touched the girl's head, and said softly, "Brother may not be able to cure your father." But I can promise you'll catch the bad guy who hurt your dad. β
The mother left her contact information, and the mother and daughter thanked Dade and left the consultation room. Yang Wenbin stood at the door, looking at the note with his mobile phone number in a daze.
"You're definitely not going to get involved in these cases againβ"
A familiar, long-pitched voice sounded behind him.
"Unless there's a child crying?"
Yang Wenbin raised his head, his eyes met the eyes of Yan Junli, who seemed to be smiling, and said angrily, "You did it on purpose." β
"What do you say?" Yan Junli shrugged his shoulders, "I just dutifully helped the injured mother and daughter to the hospital, and you also know that Minghai Hospital is the closest hospital to the police station." β
"Shut up, okay, now that you've won, you've taken advantage of my sympathy to get me to take the case. What else do you want to do? Yang Wenbin rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at Yan Junli at all.
"You know I'm not taking advantage of you." Yan Junli walked into the clinic with a smile on the corner of his lips, "I heard what you said, and I know that every word you say comes from the heart." At least Yang Wenbin, whom I know, will never sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing. Maybe you're right, criminals are like weeds, we pull one up, and another grows. But that's not to say that escaping will solve anything. β
"Alright, don't be hypocritical. I know what you really want to say. Yang Wenbin said to himself, "Just say it." β
"Okay-" Yan Junli said in a long voice, somewhat proudly, "I told you a long time ago, you can't resist the temptation of danger at all. β
ββββββββββββββββ
"So, have you been reinstated?" Yang Wenbin asked.
The two walked side by side on the streets of bustling City C, just as they had always been.
"Nope." Yan Junli gave Yang Wenbin a rather surprising answer.
"Why? Don't you Director want you back? Yang Wenbin asked.
"Of course not, quite the opposite." Yan Junli shrugged, "I didn't walk into the gate of the police station. β
"Why?"
ββ¦β¦ On the one hand, I hope that Xiaohong can rely on this opportunity to exercise himself. Yan Junli looked ahead, thinking about something, "Also, maybe I occasionally want to take off that police skin and rest for a while." β
Yang Wenbin laughed out loud and said, "I know." β
"You know, you know, you know everything." Yan Junli muttered.
"There's one thing I don't know. Something about Xiao Yang. Yang Wenbin said, "I checked Xiao Yang's escape on the Internet today, and I didn't have any useful information. β
"Of course. The police blocked the news. Yan Junli shrugged, "The citizens have been frightened by the serial cases made by the clown before, and of course this time the matter should be the most low-key." β
"So who is that Xiao Yang? Why is Xiaohong in such a hurry to call you? β
Yan Junli pondered for a while and asked, "You should know about the serial throat cutting case five years ago, right?" β
Yang Wenbin searched in his memory for a while, and he did have a little impression. But because he was still in college out of town at that time, it wasn't very clear.
"I have a little impression, but I don't know the details." Yang Wenbin said honestly.
