Chapter 2241 - 2242: How Did the Person Die?

Chapter 2241: Chapter 2242: How Did the Person Die?

After leaving Li Dong’s house, Lin Yi chatted with a friend from the court for a bit before driving to Chaoyang Group.

Having picked up Ji Qingyan, the two returned to her home as usual.

Although they didn’t talk much on the way, their feelings for each other had become the same as before.

Lin Yi thought to himself.

Indeed, there’s no problem that a quick fix can’t solve.

If there is, then two quick fixes.

...

They arrived home, ate, and chatted as they usually did.

After dinner, Ji Qingyan went to the study. It was almost New Year’s Day, and the end of the year is always the busiest time for companies. It was the same for Lin Yi’s Lingyun Group, but as a hands-off manager, he had left everything to Qi Xianzhao.

However, Lin Yi had also decided that he needed to take some time to visit the company too.

But Lin Yi’s attention was mostly focused on the system tasks.

The redemption mission had been holding him up for over a month now, and he still had no leads.

Past ten in the evening, wrapped in a towel and drying her hair, Ji Qingyan came in from outside.

“Going to take a shower.”

“Hmm? Why are you home so early?”

In Lin Yi’s memory, at the end of the year, Ji Qingyan would almost always go to bed around 12.

Ji Qingyan’s eyes darted around a bit, “My skin’s been bad recently, can’t stay up late. I’ll just get up earlier tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yi got up, went to the bathroom to wash up, and took a quick shower.

When he came back, he found Ji Qingyan reading a book.

“So boring, reading at this time of night.” Lin Yi tossed the book aside, “Let’s do something more interesting.”

“What kind of interesting thing?”

Lin Yi casually turned off the lights, slid into Ji Qingyan’s blankets, and then began what he considered to be more interesting activities.

“I knew you were up to no good.”

“What do you mean I’m up to no good? You came home so early, naturally, we have to do something meaningful. It wouldn’t be worth it to waste time reading books.”

“Be gentle…”

“Sure thing.”

For Ji Qingyan, that journey in Pengcheng had been like opening Pandora’s box.

Once it was opened, there was no stopping it.

In the wee hours of the morning, their activities finally ceased.

Ji Qingyan fell into a deep sleep in Lin Yi’s embrace.

For Ji Qingyan, who was used to getting up early, even if she had stayed up late the night before, she still got up around seven in the morning, quite dedicated to her routine.

Moreover, she seemed to have adapted to the change in their relationship, still acting like before.

After breakfast, Lin Yi dropped Ji Qingyan off at the company and then went to the hospital. After finding out there were no issues, he headed to the Xinshan branch office.

Ring Ring Ring—

Just as he settled into the office, he received a call from Song Gang.

“Officer Lin, are you at the precinct?”

“I am. Did the results come out?”

“They did, but they’re not what you expected,” Song Gang said,

“I happen to have some business at your place, wait for me there, and we can talk face-to-face.”

“Okay, just come to my office when you arrive.”

“Alright, we’ll talk when I see you.”

After waiting about twenty minutes, Song Gang came in carrying a briefcase.

“Miss Song.”

Lin Yi smiled and welcomed him in.

“We’ve met before, so don’t be so formal,” Song Gang said with a smile. “If you don’t mind, just call me Brother Gang.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

Song Gang passed the documents in his hand to Lin Yi.

“Take a look, the information is here, but it’s not as you thought. No traces of any blood pressure-raising medication were detected. It appears to be a normal case of cerebral hemorrhage, seemingly not caused by external factors.”

Song Gang lit up a cigarette for himself, “Actually, this kind of case is very common in life. You can’t simply assume it was caused by external factors; there’s no need to linger on this. There are too many coincidences in the world.”

Lin Yi quietly read through Ma Dehong’s autopsy report for a while.

Just as Song Gang said, there seemed to be no issues.

“It’s indeed possible, but the timing of his death is too convenient,” Lin Yi said,

“He didn’t die sooner or later; he died precisely at this time, which is very strange.”

“You have a point,” Song Gang replied, “but if you suspect that someone had a hand in Ma Dehong’s death, there is one possibility.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Yi arched an eyebrow at him.

“He didn’t take his medication,” Song Gang said,

“The deceased was 63 years old and weighed over 200 pounds. Chances are he was a severe hypertensive patient. If he stopped taking his hypertension medication for a few days, it would greatly increase the odds of a cerebral hemorrhage.”

“Indeed, that’s very likely.”

With Lin Yi’s clinical experience, he could determine that if a hypertensive patient forgot to take their blood pressure medication one day, their risk of a cerebral hemorrhage would skyrocket geometrically.

If they didn’t take it for several days in a row, then whether they would live or not would depend on God’s mood.

So, what Song Gang analyzed made a lot of sense.

“Officer Lin, think about this for now. I have some other business here, I’ll come to find you again after I’m done.”

“Sure, Brother Gang, you go ahead.”

Song Gang left, and Lin Yi, alone in the office, continued analyzing Ma Dehong’s cause of death.

At that moment, Zhang Zixin walked in.

“Lin Bro, someone from the Songjiang precinct came earlier, said they have a USB drive for you.”

“Just give it to me.”

Zhang Zixin handed the USB drive to Lin Yi and then went about her own business.

Lin Yi knew what was on the USB drive; Sun Ying had already told him.

It contained all of Ma Dehong’s surveillance records, which she had compiled and placed on this USB drive.

He plugged the USB into the computer and began to review the entire sequence of events leading from Ma Dehong’s incarceration to his death.

And this sequence lasted only five days.

Compared to other inmates, Ma Dehong was a special case because he had high blood pressure and consumed anti-hypertensive drugs provided by the prison every day.

Every morning, the prison guards delivered hypertension medication to Ma Dehong, and someone else received the same treatment.

Lin Yi fetched the surveillance footage from around 8 o’clock each morning after Ma Dehong’s imprisonment, as this was when the medications were distributed daily.

Having viewed the footage from these few days, Lin Yi frowned.

Because in the videos, Ma Dehong took his blood pressure medication every day without fail.

Given this, it was impossible for Ma Dehong to have had a cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension.

After watching these clips, Lin Yi quickly reviewed the videos from the past few days.

He found that Ma Dehong was very cautious while in custody; apart from Leng Jianshu, who Lin Yi had interrogated before, he almost never spoke to anyone.

Moreover, he hadn’t been in contact with any outsiders and hadn’t eaten anything out of the ordinary.

So the question arose.

Why did Ma Dehong suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage?

Could it be that God wanted him dead?

That just doesn’t seem likely.
