Chapter 197: What Can I Do
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was precisely because he knew what kind of power and background Lin Bai had that Chief Feng did not believe that Lin Bai would destroy his own future for a small fry like Wang Hao.
Moreover, the surveillance video of the underground garage clearly showed that Lin Bai did not hit Wang Hao’s head from the beginning to the end.
There was no evidence that could prove that Lin Bai was directly related to Wang Hao’s death.
Therefore, Chief Feng absolutely believed that Lin Bai was innocent.
He showed such strong importance to Lin Bai’s suggestion. In fact, it was also to gain some good impression from Lin Bai after the truth was found out.
Regardless of whether the final result was related to the medical staff who saved Wang Hao, at least he followed Lin Bai’s suggestion. That was enough.
Soon, the police officers sent to the hospital to inquire sent back a message saying that there was a new discovery.
The director of the Emergency Medical Center, Wu Tao, claimed that he had only seen Wang Hao briefly when he was sent to the hospital when he was questioned.
Later, because there were more critical patients that he needed to deal with, he handed Wang Hao over to another attending doctor under him to be responsible. He had no further contact with Wang Hao.
However, when the police investigated the surveillance, they accidentally discovered that on the morning of Wang Hao’s death, Wu Tao had entered his ward alone and stayed for a long time.
After Wang Hao’s death, because he could not contact his family for the time being, his body could only be temporarily stored in the hospital’s mortuary.
Wu Tao then entered the mortuary without permission and touched Wang Hao’s corpse.
He had clearly come into contact with Wang Hao, and it was so abnormal, but he deliberately hid it, pretending that he could not remember who Wang Hao was.
This was too strange.
“Bring Wu Tao back, I will personally question him.”
Chief Feng decisively gave the order and adjusted the direction of the investigation, completely focusing on Wu Tao.
Before Wu Tao arrived, all the information about him had already been printed out and sent to Chief Feng.
According to the information, Wu Tao was born into a family of medicinal practitioners. His parents were both doctors. He had also been admitted to the best medical school in the country and obtained a doctorate degree with excellent results.
After graduation, he was hired by the city emergency medical center with a high salary. He had been promoted to the position of director without any setbacks.
His love life was also very stable.
His wife was his university classmate. After graduation, she entered the city Emergency Medical Center with him and worked as an attending physician in another department.
They also had a daughter. She was currently five years old and was in kindergarten.
From the information, Wu Tao was a winner with a smooth life. He had a successful career and a happy family.
Most importantly, his interpersonal network did not have any interaction with Wang Hao, and there was no conflict between the two.
He did not seem to have any reason to deliberately kill Wang Hao.
However, his behavior was so strange.
When Wang Hao was in a deep coma, he sneaked into the ward and stayed there. After that, he deliberately hid it.
After Wang Hao died, he bribed the mortuary security and went in to touch Wang Hao’s body.
He also hid the fact that he had contact with Wang Hao again.
Chief Feng could not figure out why such a respected doctor who had everything going for him would do such a thing?
He thought for a long time, but there was no answer.
Chief Feng rubbed his aching temple and asked his subordinate beside him, “What do Wu Tao’s colleagues think of him?”
The subordinate replied, “His colleagues say that he is humble and has good skills. He is a good doctor that is hard to come by.”
“Everyone thinks very highly of him.”
“Oh right, but he seems to have been in a bad mood in the past one to two months.”
Chief Feng paused in his movements before quickly asking, “What happened? Tell us the details.”
The subordinate replied, “I can’t explain the details. I just saw that he has been in a foul mood, and he seems to be very tired and haggard. He has suddenly become especially wary of others.”
“Everyone guessed that he was too tired and gave himself too much pressure. They advised him to take a vacation and have a good rest.”
“After that, he did take a few days off. When he came back, his condition was a little better, but it couldn’t be compared to before.”
“Then, everyone felt that he became more and more serious, and everyone was afraid of him.”
Chief Feng muttered to himself, “His personality suddenly changed… that seems to be a problem. With this as a breakthrough point, we should be able to get some information out of him.”
At this moment, a young policeman knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully, “Chief Feng, he has been brought in.”
“Yes, send him to interrogation room No. 3. I’ll be there in a moment.”
Then, Chief Feng asked someone to send over the statements of the other medical staff. After going through them one by one, he went to the interrogation room to prepare to interrogate Wu Tao.
At this time, Wu Tao had been left out for a long time, and he was clearly a little anxious.
Chief Feng first asked some routine questions about work and family. Based on the tone and manner in which Wu Tao answered, it seemed that he was not lying.
He liked his current job very much, and he also loved his wife and daughter very much.
The possibility that family conflicts affected his emotions could basically be ruled out.
Chief Feng took out the photo that he had prepared beforehand and asked Wu Tao, “Is this your daughter?”
Wu Tao nodded. “Yes. Her name is Wu Xinxin. She’s five years old.”
Chief Feng smiled. “She’s so cute. Seeing her smile so happily, your family should love her very much, right?”
Wu Tao said, “Of course.”
“That’s such a pity.”
Chief Feng suddenly said this.
Wu Tao was obviously stunned. He could not understand why Chief Feng said that.
Chief Feng stared into his eyes, his expression gradually turning cold and stern.
“As a doctor, you don’t save people but harm them instead. Do you live up to your conscience?”
“When your daughter grows up in the future, how disappointed and painful will she be when she finds out that her father is a killer? When you did those things, have you ever thought about your wife and daughter?”
The sudden outburst of questions was like a huge bolt of lightning that struck Wu Tao’s heart.
It instantly shattered his already shaken psychological defense.
“I don’t want to! But what can I do? !”
“I won’t do it! Xin Xin and Yin Qiu will both die!! What can I do?! What can I do?!”
Wu Tao was on the verge of breaking down. In the end, he burst into tears.
He buried his face in his palm and asked again and again, feeling extremely helpless.
Wu Tao’s reaction was obviously beyond Chief Feng’s expectations.
Chief Feng knew that his sudden question would very likely break Wu Tao’s psychological defense.
However, he never thought that just a few words would actually make Wu Tao break down to such an extent.
