Chapter 345. The Willing Dr. Li

Lin Dongxue had been looking at the materials on the computer all night. More than being tired, the anxiety of the case making no progress was what made her feel worse. Suddenly, she smelled a fragrance. Looking up, she found bottled coffee and steaming hot oden on the table. Chen Shi was sitting opposite the table, smiling at her with his arms crossed.

“Why did you come now?”

“To talk to you about something.”

“Is there any progress?” Lin Dongxue said excitedly.

“Sure!”

“Come on, my brother and Captain Peng haven’t gotten off work yet.”

“Won’t you have a bite?”

“I’ll eat it when I come back!”

Members of the task force gathered in a meeting room. After Chen Shi finished sharing his discoveries, of course, with some reservations, Lin Qiupu frowned, “These are all speculations. Without evidence, it’s all in vain.”

Chen Shi put a piece of paper on the table, “I got the surgical records from the hospital database. The one Dr. Li showed us was fake. He tampered with the patient’s name!”

Everyone was shocked. Lin Qiupu picked it up and said, “How did you get it? The method wasn’t very proper, was it?”

“It wasn’t very proper. Seeing that the case has been stuck, I was more anxious than you. I used a little trick… I have a friend who knows hacking.”

“Next time, remind and inform us. You are carrying the certificate of criminal consultant after all!”

“Got it, got it!” Chen Shi smiled apologetically, “Why did Dr. Li lie? Is he connected to Yi Qing? I suggest going to his house directly now.”

“It’s already ten o’clock.”

“Listen to me this time. Let’s go to his house directly now!” Chen Shi smiled confidently.

Lin Qiupu stared at Chen Shi for a moment. When Chen Shi said this, it meant that he knew there would definitely be discoveries at Dr. Li’s house. Lin Qiupu suspected that the improper methods Chen Shi used were not just this piece of paper. It was like a delicious candy was placed in front of a child. Lin Qiupu really wanted to reach out but was a little hesitant.

“You haven’t broken the law, have you!?” He confirmed.

“A little bit, but I swear, I haven’t committed a crime.” Chen Shi smiled.

“No next time. Let’s go to Dr. Li’s house!”

Everyone got in the car. On the way, Lin Dongxue ate the oden and asked Chen Shi, “How did you suddenly get so many clues? Did you break into private houses, steal information, or bribe witnesses?”

“No. I just found a hacker friend. Everything else was my guess.”

Lin Dongxue was skeptical and said, “Not happy!”

“How did I offend you again?”

“You investigated the case secretly without taking me along. You even kept it a secret from me!”

“Promise it’s just this once.”

“Humph!” Lin Dongxue picked a fish ball and poked it into Chen Shi’s mouth, “Let you off this time!”

When they arrived at Dr. Li’s house, Lin Qiupu called the property management and tricked the door open by saying it was for collecting property fees. When they rushed in, Dr. Li, who was wearing pajamas, was frightened. “What are you doing! Just because you are the police, you can break into private houses. I’m going to sue you!”

“Giving false testimony is illegal. You have to come with us.” Lin Qiupu said.

“What false testimony? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Get out, get out. I have to go to work tomorrow…” Dr. Li suddenly seemed to remember something and rushed into the bedroom.

Chen Shi said, “Stop him!”

The police rushed into the bedroom and saw that Dr. Li was tearing the photos on the wall. The entire wall was full of photos of Yi Qing. He couldn’t finish tearing them all at once, and this action completely exposed his suspiciousness.

Lin Qiupu wasn’t polite to him anymore and directly pressed him on the bed and handcuffed him. Then he ordered people to take all the photos away.

In the living room, Dr. Li sat dejectedly on the chair. Lin Qiupu threw the photos in front of him, “Explain!”

“I… I had a crush on Miss Yi. She’s so beautiful. I secretly took some photos and put them at home. It’s just a one-sided love.”

Lin Qiupu spread out the photos, “It’s May now. The last time you met her was on May 20th. There are photos from autumn, winter, and spring here. How do you explain that?”

“Photoshopped… No, she came before.”

“What disease did she come to see?”

“Stomach problem.”

“Is there a medical record?”

“Yes, it’s in the hospital. I’ll show it to you tomorrow.”

“It’s meaningless for you to delay now. It won’t help her or you. Instead of spending this night in fear, it’s better to confess honestly!”

Dr. Li was sweating profusely but still remained tight-lipped. Chen Shi said, “Check his phone and computer.”

“No, no, no!” Dr. Li was completely panicked. “I’ll tell, I’ll tell, okay? But before that, can I make a call?”

“Still want to tip someone off? Dream on!” Lin Qiupu said, “Take him back for interrogation!”

Dr. Li was brought to the interrogation room. In this closed environment, he seemed extremely nervous. He raised his hands and said, “Can I not wear this? I haven’t even stolen a needle since I was a child. If my family knew, what would they think?”

“Did we put it on you? You put it on yourself.” Lin Qiupu finished speaking and stepped forward to unlock the handcuffs for him.

Dr. Li drank a mouthful of water with his trembling hand and said, “It’s true that she came to see the stomach problem. I didn’t lie. It was… an incident in July last year. She had a CT scan and she had no illness. I told her to pay attention to diet and rest… But the first time I saw her, I was charmed by her. I boldly asked for her contact information and she actually gave it to me. I was overjoyed. After that, I started to chase her. She seemed to be a very well-bred girl and was particularly reserved. The more reserved she was, the more I liked her. Anyway, I did all kinds of things to please her and also had a meal with her. It was in October last year.

“It can be said that I was obsessed with her. In December last year, she invited me to the orphanage where she worked. I brought flowers and gifts that day!” Dr. Li scratched his cheek and said after a while, “…And condoms. After dinner, she chatted with me and hoped that I could do her a favor. She said there was a child there with a very withdrawn personality. She said she consulted a psychologist and the expert said that the child needed some strong stimuli to open up. This stimulus was… was… asking me to sexually assault her!”

Lin Qiupu and the police outside were stunned. Sure enough, lust makes one lose one’s wits. He actually believed such nonsense.

“Did you do as she said?” Lin Qiupu asked.

Dr. Li swallowed hard with difficulty and nodded, “But there was no rape. I’m not interested in little girls either. It’s… You know!”

“No, we don’t.”

“Do you really want me to say it? I just tore her clothes and molested her a few times. I didn’t think much of it at that time, but later I felt regretful. This isn’t something a human should do! But Yi Qing said that the child’s personality had improved a lot after that incident. I wondered, is there really such a treatment method?”

“Was that child Zhao Puyang?”

“I don’t know.”

Lin Qiupu showed him the photo. The doctor nodded and said, “Yes, yes, it’s her!”

“Continue.”

“I thought that since I did such a thing for her, she should accept me. But Yi Qing was sometimes hot and sometimes cold, making it hard to figure out. After knowing each other for so long, she wouldn’t even let me hold her hand except for some meals. There was also a suspicious voice in my heart saying, is this woman just stringing me along! But I really liked her. I was willing to do anything she asked me to do, even if it meant going through fire and water…”
