“Director Li, I’d like to know, did Sui Xin have him sign off on it?”

“It was to complete a previous form that we had overlooked during our work, so we asked him to sign it. I’ll go get that form for you now.”

After speaking, Li Zhiyong got up, left the room, and returned with the form that needed to be signed.

Lin Yi glanced at it and noticed that the date was the day before Li Zhiyong’s surgery.

Although this kind of practice violates regulations, it was not uncommon in hospitals.

After all, Li Chuhan had made similar mistakes before, and it didn’t cause any major issues. Even if people found out, it wouldn’t raise much concern.

After handing the form back to Li Zhiyong, Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin continued to review the surveillance footage.

But soon, Lin Yi noticed something amiss.

The footage matched the description Zhang Lele had given in the morning.

Li Wenguang was in bed 7, Zhang Lele had her back to him while caring for the patient in bed 8, and Sui Xin also had her back to him, attending to the patient in bed 6.

Despite everything looking normal, Lin Yi caught a crucial detail.

At the time, Li Wenguang was asleep, and the ventilator he was using was positioned between beds 7 and 6.

Lin Yi noticed that Sui Xin’s knee was tightly pressed against the bedside cabinet.

The oxygen tube passed between them, meaning that Sui Xin used her leg and the cabinet to pinch the oxygen tube, cutting off the oxygen supply!

The more Lin Yi watched, the more excited he became. In less than two minutes, the ventilator started to alarm.

Li Wenguang was dead!

At the same time, Zhang Lele turned around and noticed something wrong with Li Wenguang. She quickly checked on him but was too late. Thus, she immediately called for Li Zhiyong and confirmed that Li Wenguang had died.

“So that’s how she killed Li Wenguang.”

Lin Yi’s words caused Zhang Zixin and Li Zhiyong to jump out of their seats.

“Brother Lin, do you know how he died?”

Lin Yi rewound the video and pointed to Sui Xin’s leg.

“She used her leg and the cabinet to pinch the oxygen tube, causing Li Wenguang to suffocate.”

Seeing the footage, Zhang Zixin quickly understood what had happened.

“No wonder the forensic analysis suggested her mental state wasn’t good. It might have been due to guilt after committing murder.”

“Smart observation,” Lin Yi said.

“Now that we’ve figured out how the murder was committed, the next step is to investigate her motive.”

With that, Lin Yi stood up and addressed Li Zhiyong,

“Director Li, thank you for your cooperation. It must have been tough.”

“It was nothing.”

Li Zhiyong replied with a sorrowful expression.

“Sui Xin was actually a good kid. She worked with us for over two years and was always polite to both the doctors and the cleaning staff. Who would’ve thought that someone could do something like this? It’s really unexpected.”

“People’s hearts are hard to read. There’s no point in discussing this further now.”

Lin Yi responded calmly, totally unaffected by the dynamics of the workplace. “We have more investigations to carry out, so we’ll take our leave. We might need your help again in the future, so I hope you can continue to cooperate.”

“Of course, just give us a call if you need anything.”

After a few more words, the two left the hospital building. Zhang Zixin stretched and said,

“Brother Lin, you’re impressive. I can’t believe you spotted such a crucial piece of information just by looking at the surveillance footage. Zhang Peng and I watched it twice and didn’t catch it.”

“It’s all about experience. You need to be more diligent in the future,” Lin Yi advised.

“A lot of clues are hidden in these small details.”

“Got it, Brother Lin.”

Lin Yi checked his watch and saw that it was already past four o’clock.

“I have other things to take care of, so I won’t be heading back to the station with you,” Lin Yi said.

“Make sure to brief them on the case and continue the investigation.”

“Understood, Brother Lin.”

After giving instructions, Lin Yi called Yan Ci.

“Have you left yet?”

“Almost. Where are you?”

“At the Second People’s Hospital.”

“I’m not far from there. Wait for me; I’ll pick you up since it’s on the way.”

“Alright.”

With nowhere else to go, Lin Yi sat by a flowerbed outside the hospital, waiting for Yan Ci while pondering the case.

According to her colleagues, Sui Xin had a good reputation. If she had been pretending for a few months, it might be plausible, but maintaining such a facade for over two years wasn’t easy.

It required deep scheming, something most people lacked.

If she were truly that kind of person, she wouldn’t have suffered from insomnia afterward.

It was possible that in this case, she was merely a tool.

Perhaps the real culprit manipulated Sui Xin into killing Li Wenguang!

But one thing still puzzled Lin Yi—what was the purpose of killing Li Wenguang?

Even though the case had progressed, it wasn’t close to being solved. More investigation was needed.

Beep beep!

Just then, a car horn sounded nearby.

Lin Yi saw Yan Ci’s Audi A4 parked not far away.

Lin Yi walked over, swapped seats with Yan Ci, and drove toward Wangjiang Pavilion Hotel.

“Why’d you come here all of a sudden?”.

In her mind, if Lin Yi needed to check his wound, he should have gone to Huashan Hospital, not a regular city hospital.

“There was a case here that I needed to investigate, and I called you as soon as I finished.”

“Must be a tough case if you had to handle it yourself.”

“Yeah, it’s tricky. It’s been days, and all the leads have hit a dead end.”

“I can’t help much with that, so I won’t try to comfort you. But taking a break might help clear your mind. You might get a breakthrough.”

“That’s why I called you. Seeing you lifts my spirits and helps me think more clearly.”

“Since you put it that way, I’d feel guilty if I didn’t help you analyze the case.”

“That’s a minor issue. Just help me relax, and maybe the solution will come to me faster.”

Yan Ci shot Lin Yi a playful look, knowing exactly what he meant.

Her cheeks turned red as she mumbled,

“Pervert!”

…

Meanwhile, the Chen family had already arrived early at Wangjiang Pavilion Hotel.

In the private room were a middle-aged woman and a young man and woman.

The young man was, of course, Chen Teng. The middle-aged woman was his mother, Fu Jinglan.

The other young woman was Chen Ya, whom Lin Yi and Yan Ci had encountered at the shop a few days ago!
