Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Where Was the Mistake?
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen realized something was wrong and quickly rushed over.
Before they reached the door, they heard crying from inside.
The doctor shook his head as he walked out.
Gong Chen stopped the doctor: "What happened?"
"Are you here as family members too? I’m sorry, my condolences." The doctor said helplessly.
The doctor next to him said: "How could this happen? The condition was stable this morning, but in the afternoon..."
"Besides the family, who else came here today?" Gong Chen asked.
The doctor thought it was a family inquiry and answered accordingly.
"Only the hired caregiver was taking care of him."
"Where is the caregiver?"
"The caregiver..."
The doctor turned around and saw that the place where the caregiver was supposed to be standing was empty.
He could only say: "He must have left; the person is dead, so the caregiver staying here is useless."
The next second, Gong Chen and the group ran in another direction down the corridor.
But in the end, they found no one.
Until Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao returned.
"No one at both staircases, but we found this in the trash bin at the staircase."
Chen Jin took out a piece of caregiver clothing.
It revealed a torn sleeve when turned over.
Zhou Zhao said: "If a real investigation starts, this clothing can be said to have been thrown away because it was damaged. The private hospital would rather avoid trouble and definitely won’t admit there’s an issue."
Gong Chen glanced at the clothing: "Let’s first inquire about the cause of death."
Lin Zhiyi nodded and followed her into the ward.
The family members immediately greeted her upon seeing Gong Chen.
"Third Young Master, what are you doing here?"
"I had some matters at the hospital and happened to see your family here. What happened?" Gong Chen said calmly.
"The old man’s health suddenly turned for the worse a few months ago. We rushed him to the hospital many times, but still couldn’t..."
The person started crying again.
Gong Chen asked: "What illness? You’ve investigated thoroughly?"
"Yes, it was a sudden heart attack. The doctor already explained to us that because it was so sudden, there was really nothing that could be done."
The family seemed to have accepted this outcome.
Gong Chen expressed his condolences and led Lin Zhiyi out of the ward.
At this moment, Ren Xiya arrived.
"I’ve reviewed the surveillance; it’s not the Xia Wan you mentioned. Take a look."
Lin Zhiyi immediately leaned toward her phone.
The woman in the surveillance had twin ponytails, squinty eyes, and looked very simple.
But there was something strange.
Until she turned to leave, revealing her back.
Delicate enough to be moving.
"She... looks like Shirley, too thin." Lin Zhiyi speculated.
"Are you sure?" Ren Xiya asked.
"Her face isn’t, so I can’t be certain either." Lin Zhiyi shook her head.
"Interesting, these sisters both love to work as other people’s caregivers?" Ren Xiya said.
Gong Chen withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "At least it means our investigation is going in the right direction; their target is those people from back then. Now another one has died, then..."
Lin Zhiyi immediately said: "There’s one more person, they wouldn’t..."
Gong Chen said: "We split up, Zhiyi and I will look for another person, you all continue to investigate."
"Okay, let’s go."
After speaking, the group separated.
...
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen went directly to another family listed.
The Wang Family.
President Wang heard it was Gong Chen and expressed a warm welcome.
But when they suggested visiting the old man, President Wang’s expression was somewhat odd.
Gong Chen asked: "What’s wrong? Is there a problem with a visit?"
President Wang said helplessly: "Third Young Master, it’s not that I won’t let you see him, it’s just that my father’s health isn’t too good lately."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s expression grew tense.
Another one in poor health?
Gong Chen frowned: "Has something happened? Feel free to speak openly."
President Wang listened and sighed slightly.
"It’s not that I won’t let you see him, but my father... he’s not doing well mentally."
"Mentally unwell?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.
"Yes, he suddenly started hiding at home, refuses to go out, even leaving the room is a struggle. Talking to him is like he’s seen a ghost; we have no choice but to let him stay home for recovery." President Wang explained with difficulty.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the Wang Family and asked: "Did this happen suddenly?"
"Yes."
"Does your family also... have caregivers?" Lin Zhiyi probed.
"Yes, since the old man’s mental state is unstable, we definitely need professionals to take care of him." President Wang replied as a matter of course.
Gong Chen understood Lin Zhiyi’s intention.
"Where is the caregiver?"
"The caregiver didn’t come to work today." President Wang replied.
"Call her over." Gong Chen said coldly.
President Wang didn’t know what he wanted but couldn’t refuse, so he immediately made a call.
But half an hour later, it wasn’t the previous caregiver who showed up.
"Where’s the previous caregiver?" President Wang asked suspiciously.
"She resigned, so the company sent me instead." The caregiver explained.
Lin Zhiyi quickly asked: "What’s her name?"
"Something Jiao, I don’t know for sure; there are too many caregivers in our company, some I might never have met."
With this said, it seems no investigation can uncover much.
Even if someone impersonates someone else, others won’t notice, no wonder the Xia sisters start from this point.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen, her gaze questioning.
Gong Chen directly said: "I want to see the old man."
President Wang hesitated: "This... I’m afraid he might hurt you."
"It’s fine, just catching up." Gong Chen’s voice took on an inexplicably colder edge.
President Wang trembled and immediately nodded.
"Please, follow me."
Lin Zhiyi stood up, following Gong Chen inside.
She whispered: "What have they done to make some die and others go crazy?"
Gong Chen replied: "Guilty actions."
As people age, they like to reminisce about the past.
Some things seem peaceful on the surface; in reality, they deliberately ignore them inside.
Once someone continually brings them up, it becomes impossible to ignore.
As they spoke, they followed President Wang into the old man’s bedroom.
Dark, with the curtains drawn and no lights on.
Lin Zhiyi nearly bumped into a chair.
President Wang felt his way along the wall anxiously: "Dad, why did you turn off the lights again? Third Young Master is here."
There was no response from the room.
After groping for a while, President Wang finally turned on the light.
"Dad..."
President Wang looked toward the bed, but find it empty.
"Dad! Dad! Where are you?"
Gong Chen raised his hand, signaling him not to speak.
Once quiet, there was movement from behind the sofa.
He quickly went over and found the old man curled up on the floor.
At the sound of footsteps, the old man trembled all over.
"Don’t come near! Don’t come near! I didn’t mean to! I really made a mistake!"
President Wang frowned and sighed, intending to help him up, but was stopped by Gong Chen.
Gong Chen glanced at Lin Zhiyi, signaling her to speak.
Lin Zhiyi understood that these people were connected to the Xia Family and the caregiver might be one of the Xia sisters.
Using a woman’s voice was most apt.
Lin Zhiyi tried speaking in Shirley’s somewhat airy voice.
"Do you really know where you went wrong?"
"Ah! Wrong! I’m wrong!"
The old man was so scared he crawled on the floor.
Clearly, his condition was connected to Shirley.
Lin Zhiyi slowly approached, continuing to ask: "Where did you go wrong?"
