Chronicle of the 70s-Chapter 406 - 380: Death by Electrocution (Double-Length)
After the plane stabilized in flight, although the seatbelts couldn’t be taken off, one could still move their legs a bit; Li Xianglu took a paper package out of her backpack.
Li Xianglu had a few small pork buns, originally prepared for the two kids, intended to be eaten during the flight if they didn’t feel nauseous. The children, still growing, had a particularly large appetite; they had eaten a little earlier, but seemed not to be full.
Both little guys had had enough of watching and happily began eating the buns. When the plane had been flying for over two hours, Li Xianglu felt a tilt, and then the plane slowly descended.
At the moment of landing, the children cheered, causing the corners of Li Xianglu’s mouth to twitch.
By the time they arrived in the capital, it was already midnight. Initially, the two children were not sleepy, but soon after getting into Xu Wu’s car, they began dozing off and fell asleep shortly after.
That’s when Qin Xi started to ask about Mr. Qin’s situation.
The ECG equipment was marketed by a factory signed by Qin Shouhan, the elder of the Qin Family, but upon investigation by Xu Wu, the legal representative of the factory was not Qin Shouhan, but a person from Hong Kong.
This medical equipment company was also a joint venture, with the factory located in Shantou. It was quite large, employing many engineers from abroad, and boasted strong capabilities.
So far, that was all that could be found out; Xu Wu had not asked about progress on the case, nor was it a matter of Xu Wu’s capabilities being insufficient; the incident had only happened the day before yesterday, and the police were not that fast either.
What puzzled Xu Wu was why the deceased’s family was so adamant that it was the device bought by the hospital director that killed his father.
An ordinary patient’s family member, a welder at a factory with only a junior high school education level, how could they know so much about who handles the purchasing of equipment at a major hospital?
Therefore, Xu Wu considered this a loophole; he had already sent someone to investigate, to see who this person had been in contact with recently and to check if there were any suspicious points.
When Li Xianglu and Qin Xi got back to the siheyuan, the place was brightly lit, with people waiting on both sides of the courtyard.
Yang Huan and Xiong Youxin looked tense, only relaxing a moment after seeing Qin Xi and Li Xianglu, like drowning people clutching at driftwood.
Qin Xi and the old master began making phone calls, and Qin Xi first called Qin Zhen to inform him about Mr. Qin’s situation. After all, Qin Zhen was also Qin Shouren’s child; not letting him know about such a serious incident involving his own father would be excessive and also fearing that if Qin Zhen learned of this from someone else, he might do something regrettable.
Qin Xi had also asked Qin Zhen to utilize the Lu Family’s resources to see if higher-ups were manipulating or escalating the situation. If someone of a lower rank than the Lu Family’s was involved, they should try to suppress it.
What Qin Xi did not expect was that Qin Zhen had already known about the incident, notified by phone, and had even informed Qin Zhen that it was his uncle who did it, intentionally framing his father to bear the sin of murder.
Qin Zhen was very angry at first, but after confirming the truth of the incident, he calmed down.
What exactly did the person who informed him intend to achieve? Did they expect him to act impulsively and do something inappropriate? They thought too much; he was no longer the hot-headed, impulsive young lad he once was.
Qin Xi was initially stunned after hearing this, then he laughed. This person was really interesting, planning on using this incident to take down the entire Qin Family?
After making several calls, Qin Xi sat down and discussed these private matters with everyone. The old master then stood up and made a call, prompting everyone to fall silent.
The old master said indifferently: "Handle it as you see fit. There’s no need to release anyone. Just make sure he doesn’t suffer; we will discuss more once we clear up the situation here, hmm, alright."
After the old master returned, he explained briefly: "Your father is now under solitary confinement; he’s fine. I didn’t let anyone release him. The things you said about Qin Zhen, I noticed too; these people plan to escalate the matter. If we release him from our side, people will go to the police station tomorrow morning to cause trouble."
Qin Xi frowned and nodded: "Yes, I also think that the other party has already planned this."
But for now, there was nothing much they could do; they could only see how the other party moved next to decide their subsequent steps.
Then everyone went to sleep. Li Xianglu wiped the children’s faces and limbs, undressed them, and let them sleep; there was no need to fuss in the middle of the night.
