Advocate for the deceased

Chapter 267 John in the Wind

With the transfer of all the illegal organ transplant cases of the Lin family on 6.12, Zhou Hai and his team came to an end temporarily. After all, they had to carry out the work of the investigation team. After a few days of rest, Zhou Hai led the team to start the investigation in seven districts and five cities in the southeast. The first stop is Mo City.

In the early morning of June 6, they took Zhao Xinli and his team together with ten policemen including Huang Zhongsheng, Da Zhao, and Xiao Hu, and rushed directly to Mocheng.

The Xu Detachment team has already checked the files here, and sorted out two old cases, all of which are homicide cases without exception. One of the oldest is the 25 corpse dismemberment case 11.7 years ago, and the other is from 2010. The 12.9 extermination case.

In one day, Zhou Hai took the team members to check the two files and related evidence, and communicated with Team Xu, but he had never been involved in the two cases, so he had to find the people who participated in the case to conduct the investigation. narrative.

In the end, it was decided to start with the case of the murder of the whole family on December 12.9. As for the dismemberment case, there was a serious lack of evidence, and the place where the crime took place had already been demolished, and many witnesses had already passed away.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that several people returned to the hotel. The exhausted Zhou Hai took a shower, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Lu's father's number.

It has been four days and I haven't contacted them, so I feel a little worried. The main purpose of the trip to the United States is to let them go out and relax, so that they don't always be immersed in the grief of Lucy's departure.

After the bell rang seven or eight times, Papa Lu answered the phone.

"Papa Lu, I haven't contacted you for several days. Which city have you been to?"

In fact, Zhou Hai wanted to ask if he had met Teacher John, but he felt that such a direct question was a bit too much, so he chose to chat for a while.

Papa Lu on the other end of the phone seemed to have walked out of the room and heard the sound of the door closing before speaking, but his voice was slightly hoarse.

"We arrived in California the day before yesterday. After a day of fun, we just arrived in Palo Alto last night."

Zhou Hai was a little nervous when he heard it. After all, he had already arrived at Mr. John’s house. Could it be that the one who arrived last night couldn’t meet? Besides, why did Lu’s father’s voice look like this? Could it be...

"You haven't contacted Mr. John?

Or is it that lawyer William's phone can't be reached?
If you have anything to do, you can tell me directly, it doesn't matter! "

Papa Lu let out a long breath.

"We contacted the lawyer William when we arrived here. Your teacher John passed away last Wednesday. According to his last wish, his body was donated to the Stanford University School of Medicine for scientific research, and all his property was also donated to the School of Medicine."

Zhou Hai stood up in an instant, holding the phone firmly.

"died?

How come, isn't he fractured and hospitalized?

Isn't it a broken bone? "

"Well, William originally planned to take care of everything and go to China, but we didn't expect us to come here.

He said that Old John didn't want to see you sad, so he didn't tell anyone about his illness. He had liver cancer with bone metastases. He was hospitalized because he couldn't walk on his legs. Surgery for such symptoms is meaningless.

He said he wanted you to take good care of Luo Luo, and when he missed him, he stood on the hillside and looked in the direction of the United States. If there was a breeze blowing, it would be him smiling at you. "

Zhou Hai knew that this was deliberately arranged by Mr. John, but he wanted to make little loli and himself feel less sad.

A person without a family, donating himself and everything he owns to his favorite subject can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. In an instant, Zhou Hai didn't feel so sad, and it seemed that Mr. John still took it easy.

"After hearing the news, Luo Luo, are you all right?"

"Fortunately, it's just that she didn't eat a lot. She said that she had guessed it a long time ago, but this calmness made us feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhou Hai sighed, "Don't be sad, this is the best choice, and it's also what Mr. John hopes, if the schedule allows today, you can take Luo Luo to Stanford University, and then you can play as you like .

She is a strong child, since she has already guessed that she should be able to regulate herself, it is better to live well than to be sad together, this is the best memorial to the dead. "

Papa Lu paused for a while.

"We don't have to worry here, we are going to visit Stanford today, and Hollywood tomorrow, this is what Luo Luo made last night.

On the contrary, you, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to take good care of yourself. Luo Luo told me that you take a lot of sedatives and sleeping pills. You should try to control this. You are a professional doctor and you know better than us. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Okay, don't delay our departure time, I'll hang up!"

The fat man listened very clearly, seeing Zhou Hai hang up the phone, he hurried over.

"How about I go get two bottles of beer and a little side dish, let's have a drink?"

Zhou Hai was a little puzzled. Looking at his watch, the hour hand was already pointing to 22 o'clock. Eating and drinking in the middle of the night was the rhythm of wanting to gain weight.

"You are hungry?

I just ate two pots of rice, and now I still eat, it's too fattening. "

The fat man squinted his small eyes, and looked cautious at first, but seeing Zhou Hai's emotional intelligence, he was really speechless.

"Okay, I'm busy!
Didn't I just want to accompany you to drink away your worries, listen to your words, every sentence is heartfelt, every word is precious, it hurts my self-esteem too much, go to bed. "

Seeing the resentful expression on Fatty's face, Zhou Hai couldn't hold back his smile.

"It's fine to drink. I don't taste good. When did you see me drink at a meal?"

The fat man blinked his eyes, "You are very curious!

I just want to know how you drink, how about we try it? "

"No regrets?"

Zhou Hai looked at the expectant fat man, then nodded.

"Row!"

Seeing that Zhou Hai agreed, the fat man got up and left the room. In less than 10 minutes, he ran back with a big bag in his arms, and put the things on the small tea table one by one, including a dozen beers, fried peanuts, and canned yellow croaker fish. There is also a pack of jujube meat.

I didn't feel hungry at first, but seeing these foods, let alone really want to eat.

Sitting on the sofa, the fat man opened a can of beer and handed it to Zhou Hai. He opened a can of beer himself, clinked glasses with Zhou Hai and drank with his head up. The cool taste made him raise his head and squint his eyes.

Zhou Hai also took a big sip, not to mention that the taste is not unacceptable.

"The last time I drank was in college. After Mr. John helped me transfer to another department, we went out for dinner to celebrate and drank a few glasses of wine. I don't remember how I got back, including what I did afterwards.

The next day, Mr. John took my shoulders and said: Zhou, don't drink alcohol from now on!
Then many students were laughing. No matter how I asked, he didn't say what I did that night. After that, I was like a spinning top, and I really didn't have time to think about having a drink. "

Fatty suddenly became interested and moved forward.

"You threw up?"

"No, the room is very clean without vomiting."

The fat man grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, thinking for a while.

"Who shares a room with you?
Did you get drunk and hit someone?

Or sing, chat, yell and torture others? "

Zhou Hai shook his head again, picked up the beer and took another sip. It was quite comfortable to drink beer on an early summer night. He adjusted his sitting posture and grabbed a handful of peanuts, recalling while eating.

"No, I slept at Teacher John's house that night, who can I torture?"

"and then?"

"Then, I woke up the next day and couldn't remember anything. I asked them what I had done and they didn't say anything, but no one advised me to drink anymore. Mr. John said that my wine was not good, and told me not to drink in the future. "
