Chronicle of the 70s-Chapter 407 - 380: Electrocution – Double-Length (Part 3)

All night long, Li Xianglu could feel that Qin Xi had a particularly restless sleep, constantly tossing and turning. Sure enough, when they got up in the morning, he had two big dark circles under his eyes.

Li Xianglu, feeling sympathetic, shook Qin Xi awake and said, "Don’t worry, Dad will be alright."

Qin Xi patted Li Xianglu’s hand, just about to speak, when they heard the giggling voices of kids. Turning their heads, they saw the children sitting on the bed watching them.

Li Xianglu turned to look at the giggling children and playfully patted them; the two little ones quickly scrambled from their small bed to their parents’ big bed.

Li Xianglu hurriedly said, "Quick, give Daddy a kiss, Daddy is feeling unwell."

The two children were a bit shy but still leaned forward to kiss Qin Xi, especially Ba’er, the thick-skinned child, who directly squeezed in between his parents.

Li Xianglu helplessly pulled the somewhat timid Ba Yi into the embrace as well, and the family of four just sat huddled together for a while when they heard Old Geng calling out.

There was still a lot to do today, Li Xianglu and Qin Xi quickly changed clothes and went out with the children.

The two children were immediately taken to the front courtyard unfamiliarly, and having not seen the kids for a long time, Sister He, feeling tender-hearted, helped wipe their hands and faces, and even took them to the dining table for a meal.

By the time the clock struck nine in the morning, the phone rang, Li Xianglu had a bad feeling, and Qin Xi’s face also turned pale, he quickly put down his cutlery and went to answer the phone, which was meant for the elder Mr. Qin.

The elder Mr. Qin stood up after hanging up, with a serious expression he said, "The deceased’s family are kneeling at the police department’s entrance with banners, wearing sackcloth, the banners also bear Shouren’s name, demanding severe punishment."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi’s face darkened, obviously, the other party planned to start with public opinion, and they would have to be cautious in dealing with this situation now, it seems the other party was fully confident.

Li Xianglu supported the elder Mr. Qin to sit down, and at this moment, the two children were also quiet, obviously tensed by the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Li Xianglu had no choice but to send the well-fed children to the circular couch on the west side to play with toys, while she herself sat in the middle, occasionally listening to the ongoing discussion and occasionally watching over the children.

Qin Xi felt that the focus should be on the ECG equipment; they should check if there was a problem with it first before anything else.

The elder Mr. Qin nodded and said, "Indeed, but that device has already been taken by the police as evidence, it’s not so simple just to see it, let alone inspect it."

It wasn’t until midday that people from there dispersed. The police called Mr. Qin again, mentioning that they could send someone over to see Qin Shouren and hear what he has to say, but not too many people should go.

Qin Xi was going but insisted on bringing Li Xianglu.

Li Xianglu just slightly raised her eyebrow and agreed; the elder Mr. Qin didn’t say much and arranged it.

However, the meaning from the police side was that the two couldn’t just openly enter through the main gate; it seemed that there was someone from the opposing side within the system, and they were probably being closely watched. If there was any slight noise noticed by the opposition and it got out, not only would the case become more challenging, but their police system would also be unable to operate, and upper management would definitely reprimand them.

Thus, it wasn’t until six o’clock in the evening that the two of them secretly drove out, and on the way, Qin Xi handed a piece of paper to Li Xianglu.

Li Xianglu casually glanced at it before putting it into the Storage Ring.

When the car reached a concealed turn, they got out and switched to a police car to leave.

The police car directly took them into the police department’s courtyard since it was after working hours, apart from the officers on duty, everyone else had left.

Upon getting out of the car, they were led through a mix of twists and turns, up and down floors, and even climbed through a window, before reaching a corridor.

Li Xianglu was surprised to find someone waiting by the window, handling things very secretively.

This person led them straight to the entrance of the detention center.

The gatekeeper, already waiting at the door, looked around and directly let Li Xianglu and Qin Xi inside.

As expected, Mr. Qin was detained in a separate iron-gated cell, currently sitting at a table eating quietly, but the deep dark circles under his eyes made it evident that he was not at peace internally.

Upon seeing his son and daughter-in-law arrive, he was initially stunned, then immediately stood up to welcome them in.

The person who brought them in said, "Ten minutes, you must leave."

After saying that, he did not leave but turned around to lean against the window and started smoking.
