Chapter 2062: Tool

“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.”
