Chapter 91
Li Wenyu was taken to the hospital by Zheng Guang and told that the surveillance video had been retrieved for investigation.
Li Wenyu watched at the security office for a long time, checking all the surveillance tapes at each exit, and finally found a scene of Ji He leading his grandma out of the west exit of the hospital, getting in the car and leaving.
An extremely inconspicuous gray car disappeared almost instantly after merging into the traffic.
Li Wenyu became more anxious and uneasy as he watched, but no one answered his calls to Pei Xin.
He frowned and turned away from the surveillance video: "Uncle Zheng, when did Pei Xin call you and ask you to come to me? Did you say anything else?"
"An hour ago," Zheng Guang looked at Then he said it, then shook his head, "Mr. Pei asked me to bring you to check the surveillance. He didn't say anything else."
Li Wenyu listened to the continuous busy tone on the phone, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, until the call automatically hung up. Broken, he clasped his palms and murmured: "No, we have to call the police."
Zheng Guang's face suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Pei also ordered that for the safety of your grandma, don't do anything until he contacts you. Acting rashly."
Li Wenyu then looked up at him, with a look that was not his own. "What did Pei Xin do? Why has there been no news for so long?"
Zheng Guang sighed: "Mr. Pei didn't say anything. ..."
Li Wenyu continued not to listen, stood up and walked out.
There were not many pedestrians in the private hospital, so Li Wenyu called the police directly while walking.
He was uneasy and had a vague premonition of danger. Pei Xin had never failed to answer the phone for such a long time before. And now in this situation, Ji He and his grandma disappeared for so long, and even Pei Xin lost his voice after leaving such unclear words. He couldn't sit still no matter what.
Zheng Guang followed closely behind, and Li Wenyu opened the car door and went in: "Go to the police station."
Zheng Guang looked at him hesitantly from the rearview mirror, and Li Wenyu's brows were as cold as melted snow, and he looked completely different from usual. The air pressure was very low: "Uncle Zheng, if you don't want to go, please lend me the car keys and I'll go by myself."
Zheng Guang had no choice but to start the car.
It started to rain on the road. It was just a drizzle at first. In just a few minutes, when the car door opened at the police station, it was already pouring rain.
After the police learned about the time of Ji He's disappearance, they first checked his whereabouts, but found almost nothing. They only found Pei Xin's death through the signal track: "He drove to the suburbs in the direction of Shunli Road at 7:50, and then never returned. Never appeared before."
Li Wenyu saw the dilapidated and messy buildings on the map without blinking, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, almost overwhelming him.
After learning about the situation in detail, the police station was planning to send someone to Shunli Road when it received a second alarm call from a resident of the suburbs of Shunli Road.
He was a middle-aged man. Because he was too nervous, he only described what he saw in vague words. His child suddenly developed a high fever at night and went to a nearby clinic for intravenous drip. During this period, he went out to smoke and get some air. He heard the sound of fighting in an abandoned building next to him. The sound was scary, and there were people shouting. He hesitated several times. I didn't dare to go up and take a look, so I had to call the police first.
Li Wenyu's head suddenly went blank for a moment, and his heartbeat also skipped a beat.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Li Wenyu and Zheng Guang followed the police car. The police lights seemed to be blurred by the heavy rain and their light was weak. There were many cars on the road at this time. They were forced to distance themselves behind a set of traffic lights. .
The wipers were rubbing frequently, and Zheng Guang consoled him without squinting: "As long as the police get there quickly, it's not necessarily Mr. Pei who is in the building. Even if it is, with Mr. Pei's skill, he probably won't be the one injured."
Li Wenyu But he didn't say a word, his white lips were tightly closed. From a distance, he saw the dilapidated and messy suburb on the map, which looked even more desolate and ruined in the night rain.
They saw Pei Xin's car at the intersection. The black body almost blended into the night. The road ahead had been cleared by police cars.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Wenyu ran towards the dilapidated low building where the police car was parked. The sound of rain was ringing in his ears, and he was almost deaf at the moment.
The lights of police cars and ambulances mixed with the cold rain almost blinded people, and the white clothes of the doctors and nurses became a dazzling presence in the dark night, casting brief shadows in the rain, and then gathered around them. They were surrounding an ambulance stretcher, with a person lying on the stretcher.
It was almost a bloody man. His arms, chest, face, and even hair were all stuck in strands with blood. His clothes and pants were so wet that he couldn't even tell whether it was blood or rain. There was no trace of blood on his lips. His eyes were closed tightly. He was obviously already dead. Loss of consciousness.
At a certain moment, Li Wenyu's pupils shrank suddenly and he froze on the spot, and his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground and he could not move.
His rain-soaked eyes vaguely saw that the gray-blue silver mechanical strap on the man's wrist was inlaid with faded, old and complicated patterns. The dial was stained with water drops and shimmered in the light of the dark rainy night.
This morning, it was still on the wrist where Pei Xin was holding a cup of coffee and looking at the U.S. stock market.
The cold rain carried the thick smell of blood and loud noises, almost causing Li Wenyu's soaked body to ache. He blinked blankly, trying to see the person in front of him clearly, but was dazzled by the snow-white car lights that suddenly came on from behind.
Li Wenyu's eyes almost burst into tears. He turned around subconsciously and saw a stretcher being carried out from the small, lit clinic. On it was an old man with gray hair, who was... grandma.
Li Wenyu's paralyzed heart took a short and spasmodic breath, almost hurting like his heart was cut out, but he instinctively ran back step by step.
The rain mixed with soil splashed under his feet. Li Wenyu wiped the water on his face with all his strength. His voice trembled so much that he could barely form a sentence: "Doctor...what's wrong with my grandma?"
The doctor looked up at him calmly: "The patient suffered a cardiac arrest. Stop, rescue is needed immediately."
There was chaos all around, and the originally silent and deserted gray-black building was illuminated by the car lights and police lights, almost transparent like floating dust, and there was nowhere to turn.
There was a crowd outside the cordon, holding umbrellas, and the chirping sounds were far and near. In such a remote suburb, it looked completely dark from a distance.
Across the thin and heavy rain curtain, which was as thick as an iron cage, Li Wenyu's last glance when he closed the red and white door and headed outside was when he saw Pei Xin being pushed into the ambulance on the other side.
