Li Zhen never expected that the perpetrator identified by Yu Yuzhi based on the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol would be Lao Dengtou.

"Is it really him?" Li Zhen asked Luo Chen who brought the news. He always felt that this was too magical.

Luo Chen said, "Old Dengtou denied that he was the one who injured Yue Wenshan. We will only know now when Yue Wenshan wakes up."

It had been a day and night since Yue Wenshan woke up. After the attending doctor confirmed that Yue Wenshan's injuries were okay and his consciousness had returned to normal and he could communicate for a short time, Lin Bing was allowed to take Old Deng in to see Yue Wenshan within a five-minute time limit.

Lin Bing asked Lao Deng to wait outside. When he entered the ward, he first asked Yue Wenshan about the case between Luo Chen and Li Zhen.

Listening to Lin Bing's intention, Luo Chen and Li Zhen didn't mention him harming Qi Yihan, so Yue Wenshan was lucky.

"I don't blame them, and please don't pursue it any further..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Bing shattered Yue Wenshan's extravagant hopes with one sentence.

"You really can't blame others. If it were me, my brother would almost be killed. I would never take mercy on him. Even a beating would be lenient."

Hearing the sound of Lin Bing grinding his teeth, Yue Wenshan's already painful head hurt even more.

"I was just confused."

Lin Bing waved his hand to stop Yue Wenshan from quibbling, "Every murderer who kills with passion will say this, but will we acquit him just because he was confused?"

Yue Wenshan was speechless, "I ask the government to punish him severely."

"Oh, Director Yue is still somewhat enlightened, so tell me why you wanted to murder Qi Yihan."

"It's difficult to comment on this question."

Lin Bing sneered coldly when Yue Wenshan bluntly rejected him.

"Okay, if you don't tell me, someone will tell you. I won't force you. Now, how about asking Director Yue to identify the suspect who smashed your head?"

With that said, Lin Bing opened the ward door and greeted Old Deng, "Come in."

The curtains were drawn in the ward, and daylight filtered in through the gaps in the curtains, dividing the white space into golden grids. Old Dengtou walked in slowly, his wrinkled face hidden in the shadow of the light, and he looked in Yue Wenshan's eyes in a daze. , like a simple drawing without all the complexity.

Walking to the hospital bed, Old Dengtou slowly bent down and grinned, revealing teeth yellowed by smoke.

"Director Yue, that bitch named Yu said I wanted to kill you. Do you think she wronged me?"

The hoarse cigarette smoke was so harsh that it made Yue Wenshan want to vomit due to the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol mixed with the smell of disinfectant. His vision became even more confusing, and in the midst of this chaos, Old Deng’s head and face appeared. But the wrinkles seemed to disappear, and a sudden sense of familiarity came to his face, as if he had traveled through time and suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

"You, you are...!" Yue Wenshan exclaimed, his voice changing tone.

Lin Bing was startled by Yue Wenshan's sharp cry and scolded Old Dengtou.

"Don't get so close. He is a patient and can't stand your smell."

As he spoke, Lin Bing looked at Yue Wenshan, whose face was ashen, and found that Yue Wenshan returned to normal in just a moment, and turned his eyes towards him.

"not him."

Hearing Yue Wenshan's affirmative tone, Lin Bing frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

"Did you see the murderer?"

Facing Lin Bing's pressing questions, Yue Wenshan felt deeply tired and said, "No."

"What I want is evidence. You said it was not him who injured you, but now a witness has identified him."

Closing his eyes and recalling the scene at that time, Yue Wenshan guessed that the witness in Lin Bing's mouth was Yu Yuzhi who fainted on the ground, gritted his teeth and said.

"The wound on my head was inflicted by myself to frame Luo Chen and make him pay the price."

The answer was completely beyond Lin Bing's expectation, but if he wanted to overthrow Yue Wenshan, he had no relevant evidence.

"You know how to give false testimony..."

"I know."

Before Lin Bing could finish speaking, Yue Wenshan stopped him tiredly.

No matter what Yue Wenshan's purpose was, what he actually meant was that he no longer wanted to hold the perpetrator responsible. Lin Bing said without further entanglement.

"Okay, of course I won't object if you agree. Then you can take good care of yourself. You'll have to go to court when you recover."

After that, Lin Bing opened the handcuffs on Lao Deng's head, put his arm around Lao Deng's shoulders and walked out of the ward.

"Brother, okay, I'm quite capable... Tell me why Director Yue lied to you. Let me listen."

Old Dengtou smiled innocently and shook his head.

"I don't have that ability. Director Yue is telling the truth. Don't embarrass an honest man like me."

"You are honest, ha!"

Lin Bing seemed to have heard some big joke, and patted Lao Deng on the shoulder with a smile.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. This is what I do for a living. Sooner or later, I will get to the bottom of it and figure it out."

"You nobleman is busy, so why bother worrying about such trivial matters? Come to my place for a drink when you have time. That's enough."

Lao Dengtou also patted Lin Bing's thick shoulder and said hey.

"You are quite solid and have a good physique. I think I was as strong as you back then, but now I am old and useless."

Otherwise, that bastard would have been stoned to death. Old Dengtou smacked his lips with regret.

Li Zhen couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Yue Wenshan admitted that he had injured himself just to blame Luo Chen.

"Even if Yue Wenshan is not the one responsible for Lao Deng, there is no need to lie. Who can believe what he says?"

Qi Yihan, who was being fed like a rabbit by Li Zhen, took advantage of Li Zhen's unpreparedness and turned around to spit out the carrots that were difficult to swallow. Li Zhen noticed that he stretched his neck and swallowed with a look.

"As long as Old Dengtou escapes smoothly and Lin Bing no longer has to distract himself from the investigation, it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not."

Li Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right."

"However, we have to check Old Dengtou."

Hearing this, Luo Chen, who was watching the excitement, responded.

"After checking, there is nothing wrong with Old Deng. It is estimated that there is indeed someone else who beat him, but this person probably has some information about Yue Wenshan, so Yue Wenshan can only admit it."

Qi Yihan took the investigation information handed over by Luo Chen and looked through it, and found that Old Dengtou was a native of Bei City, and said.

"Yue Wenshan is also a local. Maybe they know each other but you didn't find out."

"It doesn't matter whether you know him or not..." Li Zhen took the information from Qi Yihan's hand and said displeasedly, "These things have nothing to do with you. Your main task now is to take good care of your health."

Qi Yihan had a bitter look on his face, "If you want me to take good care of myself, give me some meat to eat. Don't let me eat grass all the time. My mouth is almost in three parts."

Li Zhen laughed out loud, "It's not as serious as you said. Chicken soup and fish soup all contain meat."

"Is that also called meat?" Qi Yihan sighed, maybe even chewing dry firewood would taste better than meat that had been simmered for several hours.

"How about we go to Xujia Village right now."

Qi Yihan wanted to go out for a walk. Maybe when he got to the village, he would have the opportunity to spend some money to buy some braised beef from the fellow villagers for a toothpaste.

Going to the countryside to relax is good for Qi Yihan's health. Li Zhen did not object and asked Luo Chen, "Can we leave tomorrow?"

Just after being cleared of the suspicion of being a murderer, Luo Luo went to the countryside to investigate. Why are these two people so heartbroken? Luo Chen's expression was hard to describe.

"Yes...but don't you wait and see the results of Yue Wenshan's treatment? And what if the person named Xu contacts Qilian?"

Li Zhen said nonchalantly, "How can there be such a coincidence? Besides, Yue Wenshan's processing results won't be available for a while. Do we have to wait for a month or two? We will go tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. It will be fine."
