Chapter 2244: Chapter 2245: The Misfortune of Samsung’s Lee Family
The entire process took a little over an hour. The attending physician of People’s Hospital came out, looking relaxed.
“Doctor, how’s the condition of the prisoner?” asked Wang Mei Jia, stepping forward.
“Cerebral hemorrhage, but the amount of bleeding isn’t much. His blood pressure has already come down. With some good rest and recovery, it shouldn’t be a big problem,” the doctor explained.
“However, he needs to be more cautious in the future. The antihypertensive medication must be kept up with. If something happens again, at best, he’ll be in a vegetative state.”
“That’s impossible.”
Wang Mei Jia immediately countered, “I’m the one in charge of that, and the antihypertensive medication is prepared daily.”
After speaking, Wang Mei Jia looked over at the prison guards, “Little Tang, tell me, isn’t that right?”
Tang Yongjun nodded, “His medication is delivered by me every day, and I’ve watched him take it. By all accounts, this shouldn’t happen.”
“Then that’s odd,” the doctor continued,
“After he was brought in, his blood pressure reached 210. If he had taken his medication, this shouldn’t be possible.”
“I’m baffled as well.”
“Could it be that your medication is expired?”
“How could that be?” Wang Mei Jia asserted firmly,
“Medication in places like ours is centrally procured. If there were expired medications, the pharmaceutical company couldn’t afford that responsibility.”
“Then we’ll need to investigate other causes. Ask around to see if his condition could have been caused by emotional stress; there could be various factors.”
“Okay, thank you.”
With the patient now stable, Lin Yi and Wang Mei Jia didn’t linger at the hospital.
The rest could be handled by people from the precinct; there was no need for them to be involved.
The two left the hospital and got back into their car, driving towards the precinct.
“Director Wang, I wanted to ask, the patient who was just admitted, was his name Sun Xueqiang?”
“Hmm? How do you know?”
“Didn’t you hand me a packet of medication? It had Sun Xueqiang’s name written on it.”
“No wonder Little Han has been singing your praises so much. Your insight really is extraordinary,” said Wang Mei Jia,
“But it puzzles me, why would there be a bleeding point? In the entire detention center, we only had two people with high blood pressure. Ma Dehong died, and now Sun Xueqiang has been hospitalized due to his blood pressure. Looks like I have to go back and file an inspection report.”
“Don’t you think that’s a rather unusual occurrence?”
“It’s not just unusual, it’s extremely strange.”@@novelbin@@
“Both Sun Xueqiang and the deceased Ma Dehong experienced sudden high blood pressure despite taking their medications as normal,” Lin Yi remarked,
“If it were only Ma Dehong’s case, it might be called a coincidence, but it’s very strange that the same happened to Sun Xueqiang.”
“Indeed.”
Wang Mei Jia’s expression turned serious, “But these two men seem very ordinary, without noteworthy backgrounds. Their identities don’t intersect or overlap. For both to have the same thing happen is very peculiar.”
“That’s why we need to continue with the investigation.”
Shortly after, Lin Yi drove Wang Mei Jia back, “Director Wang, let’s leave it here for today. We’ll be in touch if anything comes up.”
“Okay.”
After dropping off Wang Mei Jia, Lin Yi drove back to the Xinshan branch office and started reviewing Sun Xueqiang’s information on the computer.
According to the records from the Songjiang precinct, Sun Qingqiang was a migrant worker who came to the city.
Unable to pay compensation after a drunken brawl, he had been detained there for a month.
In the public security system’s records, he had no criminal history; overall, he was a clean slate.
So in that sense, he was essentially different from Ma Dehong.
There was no reason for anyone to harm him.
Yet, the same incident had happened to both, which was very strange.
“What are you thinking about? You haven’t moved at all.”
While Lin Yi was lost in thought, Li Xianghui walked in from outside.
“I’m stuck on a case and trying to think through some leads.”
“Is it a case transferred from the Songjiang precinct?”
Lin Yi nodded and recounted the situation to Li Xianghui.
“That’s a bit strange, then. I suggest you start with the medication,” said Li Xianghui,
“If there’s nothing wrong with the medication, it wouldn’t likely cause such an incident.”
“Are you suggesting I check that batch of medication?”
“Well, why not? It’s the only lead you have to follow at the moment; you might discover something.”
After listening to Li Xianghui’s suggestion, Lin Yi recalled what the doctor at the hospital had said.
That doctor, too, thought the medication might be the issue, but it was refuted by Wang Mei Jia.
But just as Li Xianghui mentioned, apart from this lead, it seemed there was nowhere else to probe.
After speaking, Lin Yi dialed Wang Mei Jia’s number.
“Officer Lin, do you need something?”
“I’d like to inquire about the batch of medication they were taking. Could you send me a few samples?”
“You suspect an issue with the medication too?”
“Let’s start there, since there seems to be no other channel of investigation.”
“Mhm, okay,” Wang Mei Jia agreed generously,
“I’ll drop by the medication at the lab for testing and let you know the results.”
“That’ll be great, thanks for your help, Director Wang.”
“You’re a looker; it’s no trouble at all, but if it were someone less appealing, that would be a different story, haha…”
“Haha…”
They both laughed and chatted for a bit before hanging up. Now, it was a matter of waiting for the lab results.
Ring, ring, ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was He Yuanyuan calling.
“The Samsung people have arrived, but they seem unwilling to pay up. How did you guys negotiate this?”
“Not paying? What money? Are you still half asleep?”
“How could a good employee like me possibly sleep on the job,” claimed He Yuanyuan shamelessly,
“I’m talking about the three-party collaboration. Samsung’s representative arrived a day early and met privately with me and Brother Qi. They are thinking about delaying the initial investment of 1.8 billion for half a year before transferring the money.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi understood the situation.
Lee Yongjin had previously discussed a partnership when she came to China. Lin Yi hadn’t been concerned about it and left it entirely in Ji Qingyan’s hands; presumably, the matter was already being put into action.
“Are you certain that’s what Samsung’s side has said?”
“I’m not deaf, there’s no way I misheard,” He Yuanyuan retorted,
“But they didn’t say they wouldn’t pay, only that they want to delay for half a year. They promised to transfer the funds as soon as possible afterward, even considering interest. And for the initial project expenses, they suggested our side and the Mitsui Group cover them.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi frowned. It all seemed odd.
Lee Yongjin had approached him for the collaboration, and she was well aware of who he was.
Their intention to partner with him was not genuinely for a mutual win but to fend off commercial strikes from the Freemasons.
Logically, they should be very proactive and unlikely to cause trouble like this.
So what was going on?
What do you think?
