May 2nd, the day after Conan's arrival, Tuesday.
Fang Ze and Conan got up at eight o'clock in the morning, got ready, and rode their bicycles to Lu Chen's house.
Knock on the door.
A tall man opened the door. Fang Ze estimated that this man was over 1.83 meters tall.
"Junior Fang Ze?" The man looked at Fang Ze and asked.
"It's me who is talking about me." Fang Ze stretched out his hand to the man, "It's senior Lu Chen, I think. I've seen your photos, and you look as handsome as a real person."
"Come in." Lu Chen heard Fang Ze's flattery and didn't say much because he had heard this kind of words too many times. Although his family was poor, God gave him a good-looking appearance.
Fang Ze and Conan walked into Lu Chen's room. Lu Chen saw Conan, but he didn't even ask. He probably thought Conan was Fang Ze's younger brother.
Fang Ze looked around the living room and found that many things had been packed.
"Hey, senior, you don't plan to come back after you go abroad. Why do you look like you are moving?"
"I will come back, but I won't live here anymore." Lu Chen said to Fang Ze, "I gave this house away, and I will buy a new house to live in when I come back."
Lu Chen's tone was relaxed, not at all like his wife had just died.
Give it away
Is it for the mistress
A complete story immediately began to form in Fang Ze's mind.
Lu Chen, who came from a poor family, successfully completed college with the support of Teacher Qingya, and then married Teacher Qingya out of gratitude. However, this gratitude did not last long, so Lu Chen soon found a mistress and wanted a divorce. However, Teacher Qingya firmly disagreed, and in the end Lu Chen had to use anti-arrhythmic drugs. He spent three years poisoning Teacher Qingya to death. After his wife died, he gave the house to his mistress to please her.
correct.
Fang Ze and Conan looked at each other, and both felt that they were getting closer to the truth.
"My notes are over there." Lu Chen pointed to a box and said to Fang Ze, "I haven't been willing to throw it away for so many years. I'm giving you an advantage."
Fang Ze walked over and opened the box. There were more than a dozen notebooks inside. Opening any one at random, they were all densely written with words.
It seems that Lu Chen was indeed a good student back then. Fang Ze's notes taken during the four years of college were not even one-tenth of those of Lu Chen. To be honest, if Lu Chen's family had not had money, he would have continued his studies until he graduated with a Ph.D.
"By the way." Fang Ze picked up the box and asked Lu Chen, "Senior, what are you doing abroad?"
"I was invited to attend a medical seminar in India." Lu Chen said with some pride.
"Senior is awesome."
"You can achieve this if you study hard in the future." Lu Chen accepted Fang Ze's praise with great satisfaction.
After taking the notes, Fang Ze and Conan no longer had any reason to stay here. Fang Ze picked up the box containing the notes, thanked Lu Chen and went out.
In the elevator, Conan looked at Fang Ze and said, "I just made some interesting discoveries at Lu Chen's house."
"What discovery?" Fang Ze asked.
"While you were chatting with Lu Chen, I looked around every corner of Lu Chen's house, but I didn't find a single photo of him and his wife."
"Is it possible that it has been packed up?"
"No." Conan continued, "I found some glass fragments in the trash basket, and I found this in the bathroom."
Conan said and took out something as big as a fingertip that looked like a scrap of paper. Fang Ze took it and touched it, and found that the feel of the thing was exactly the same as the material of the photo.
"My wife had just died. Not only could he move impatiently, but he also immediately broke the photo frame, tore up the photo with his wife, and flushed it into the toilet. No matter how you look at it, he is a suspect."
Fang Ze originally wanted to throw away the box of notes, but then he thought that it would be a pity to throw away such serious notes, so he took the bus with Conan and went to the clinic where Lu Chen worked, holding the notes.
This is a small private clinic called Pfizer Clinic. There was only a small reception room, a few medicine shelves, and some beds. If the street hadn't been so busy, Fang Ze would have almost thought he had entered a black clinic.
For such a small clinic, there are very few staff and no patients at all. When Fang Ze entered, there were only two nurses sitting there chatting.
"Buying medicine or seeing a doctor?" A nurse said to Fang Ze while eating melon seeds.
Fang Ze decisively pulled Conan out again, "My brother has a stomachache, please let your doctor take a look at it." After hearing Fang Ze's words, Conan immediately held his stomach and pretended to be uncomfortable.
"If you want to see a doctor, go to the clinic on the opposite street." The nurse was afraid that Fang Ze didn't know the location, so she gave Fang Ze a special route. "Turn left and walk three hundred meters and you will see it. Go there quickly and don't take the child away." Illness delayed me.”
"Don't you have a doctor here?" Fang Ze asked, looking at the two nurses. "I heard that there is Dr. Lu here who has very good medical skills."
"Doctor Lu has taken leave," the nurse said. "It will probably be a month before he comes back."
In this case, Fang Ze and Conan had no choice but to go out and walk home.
In the evening, Officer Li called and said that the matter had been investigated clearly and asked Fang Ze to go to the police station.
Fang Ze and Conan hurried to the police station, but unexpectedly, besides Officer Li, there was also Mr. Jiang, the dean of Fang Ze's department.
This old man has worked at Haiping Medical University for almost his whole life and has a high prestige in the school. Fang Ze has only met him once.
"It's you, a kid who always skips classes. Why don't you report the crime when you have nothing to do?" The old man glared at Fang Ze, expressing his great dissatisfaction.
"I'm not just sitting around, I reported the crime because I had evidence." Fang Ze quickly sat over and told him about his latest investigation.
"Old man, bah, Dean Jiang, think about it. Teacher Qingya just passed away. He went abroad and gave his house away. If there was no mistress, I wouldn't even have the surname Fang."
"Then your surname is Yuan." Mr. Jiang almost touched Fang Ze's face when he spat, "You should listen carefully to Officer Li's investigation results before you speak. What you did has even alarmed the school. Now, people don’t keep their mouth shut. If word spreads about Lu Chen being investigated by the police, I’m telling you, kid, even if nothing happens, something will happen. When the rumors spread, you kid will be the sinner!"
"It's not that serious." Fang Ze said with a smile.
"Let me tell you the results of the investigation first." Officer Li sat down and said to Fang Ze, "We asked their neighbors about the marital status of the couple and found that they are not good, but not bad, and they have no home. Violent situations occur.”
"Then there's the chronic poison thing you mentioned. Dean Jiang will explain it to you."
"Explain, what else should I explain?" Dean Jiang's spit hit Fang Ze's face again, "Have you ever taken a pharmacology class? Will the hospital not be able to detect the death of someone taking anti-arrhythmic drugs? Do you think all the doctors in the hospital are blind like you?"
"Also, we checked the records and found that Lu Chen never purchased anti-arrhythmic drugs." Officer Li on the side responded ruthlessly.
