Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 2 Is there a will?
Zhou Yi actually didn't want to bring up legal provisions and speak so harshly in such an occasion.

But Second Aunt’s reaction when I asked her whether Grandpa had ever fallen was too abnormal.

Answering irrelevant questions, avoiding problems, and even using extreme emotions to cover up are all typical lying reactions.

It is impossible for Zhou Yi to miss such details now. It is obvious that Second Aunt’s throwing a tantrum is to cover up something.

Zhou Yi glanced at his second aunt, but he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to save people.

The purpose of forcing his second aunt to question him was to confirm the truth and avoid providing wrong information to the doctor after sending the patient to the hospital for rescue.

"Dad, aunt, please find a car to take Grandpa to the hospital. Grandpa can still be saved."

When Zhou Yi's father heard that there was still hope, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Zhang Tietou's house downstairs has a three-wheeled motorcycle. I'm going to borrow it now."

Soon, everyone worked together to lift grandpa onto the three-wheeled motorcycle. Zhou Yi and his aunt sat in the back, while his father was responsible for driving.

"Dad, the nearest one should be the Third Municipal Hospital. Let's go there." Zhou Yi said.

"it is good!"

With a twist of the accelerator, the tricycle rushed straight into the darkness.

"Xiaoyi, how do you know your grandfather fell today?" asked the aunt curiously.

"If an older person falls and hits their head, it can easily cause a cerebral hemorrhage."

"If a person with cerebral hemorrhage has a skull base fracture, it will cause nosebleeds."

"Because the human nasal cavity and brain are connected, the blood in the brain will flow into the nasal cavity through the cracks of the skull base fracture."

"This condition is called rhinorrhea."

"Luckily, my second uncle only wiped the blood from Grandpa's nose and didn't plug his nose like he usually does. Otherwise, it could have caused an intracranial infection, which would have been really troublesome."

My aunt was surprised and said, "You learned all this at the police station? Fortunately, our Zhou family has a police officer like you..."

Zhou Yi held his grandfather's hand and kept an eye on his grandfather's condition. He was also very scared.

In fact, my grandfather could have been saved, but because of my second uncle and second aunt’s deliberate concealment, and the rigid thinking of the older generation, my grandfather was forced to lie there waiting to die in the presence of his children and grandchildren.

I was too naive back then. If I had the observation and awareness I have now, maybe I could have saved my grandfather.

He felt guilty and secretly vowed to save his grandfather this time.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the Third Municipal Hospital, and Zhou Yi carried his grandfather on his back and ran to the emergency room.

When Zhou Yi handed the patient over to the doctor on duty, he immediately explained the patient's condition, which might be a deep coma caused by intracranial hemorrhage.

Soon, the doctor confirmed his diagnosis and began emergency treatment.

Facing my father and aunt's anxious inquiries, the doctor said, "Intracranial hemorrhage is most dangerous within 24 hours. Fortunately, you brought him here in time. We will definitely do our best to save him."

While the three were waiting anxiously outside the emergency room, their second uncle and mother also rushed over.

As soon as the second uncle arrived, he knelt down in front of Zhou Yi's father.

"Brother, I was wrong. I feel so sorry for Dad. I didn't expect this woman to hide the fact that Dad fell. If I had known, I would have taken Dad to the hospital a long time ago."

Before his father could speak, Zhou Yi spoke.

"Uncle, when and where did grandpa fall?"

"It was before I got home from get off work, in the bathroom. Your second aunt even asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital, but he said it was nothing serious. He was already asleep when I got back, so I thought he was tired."

My second uncle’s words made me want to carve the words “shirk responsibility” on his forehead.

But this is so wrong!
Because that year, after his grandfather passed away, he took out a will from his pocket, with his grandfather's fingerprints on it.

Although such a will that has not been notarized has problems with its legal validity.

But they insisted that it was their grandfather who established the house, and when they finally went to court, they got the largest share of the property.

Zhou Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because in a case, the vested interests are often the culprits.

Judging from the circumstances of my grandfather's death, my second uncle's family undoubtedly benefited the most.

He had a basic understanding of the truth of the matter, but it still needed to be verified.

He did not continue to ask questions, but helped his second uncle up, and then pulled him to the other end of the corridor under the pretext of asking about the cause of his illness.

"Zhou Yi, I've told your second uncle everything I know." "I know, second uncle, I just want to ask something else."

"Something else?"

"I want to ask, did Grandpa ever make a will?"

Second Uncle's expression suddenly changed, and his right hand involuntarily covered his pocket.

"Ah... why are you asking this?" Second Uncle became visibly nervous.

"I'm just asking casually. If Grandpa is okay this time, that's good. If anything goes wrong, only you, Uncle, would know if there's a will."

"actually……"

"Two weeks ago, our office investigated a case where children tricked an elderly person into putting their fingerprints on a will without their knowledge. It was discovered, and our director said it was suspected fraud and they would have to go to jail."

Zhou Yi said it casually, but his second uncle shuddered suddenly.

"No... no, your grandfather didn't make a will." Second uncle said with a wry smile, his expression was as awkward as it could be.

Zhou Yi nodded calmly, "It's okay, I'm just asking."

"Zhou Yi, well... tell your dad, I'll go back first. When I came here earlier, your second aunt kept complaining of dizziness, and I'm afraid she's having another attack..." asked the second uncle cautiously.

Zhou Yi smiled, reached out and patted his uncle's blue cotton-padded jacket, and said, "It's dark and the roads are slippery. Uncle, be careful when you go back. Look, this jacket is covered in dirt. If you get it so dirty, Auntie will scold you again."

"No...it's okay. I'll leave first." Second uncle turned around and left as if he had been pardoned. He was already covered in cold sweat.

Today is really strange. Why is my nephew so scary? I never thought so before.

What he didn't know was that Zhou Yi stood there motionless, staring at his back with an expressionless face.

Zhou Yi didn't turn around until his second uncle disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor.

He opened his right hand, and in his hand was a piece of paper that he had just stolen from his second uncle's pocket while he was brushing off the dirt for him.

Zhou Yi opened the paper, took a look at it, and his eyes became more and more indifferent.

He was familiar with the contents of the paper.

The paper was from my second uncle's pocket, the handwriting was my second uncle's, and the fingerprint was my grandfather's.

There is already conclusive evidence that the will was forged, and it was premeditated.

The only question now is whether grandpa’s fall was an accident or man-made.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel creepy. If it was man-made, it meant that it was a premeditated and motivated murder.

Before his rebirth, he had never thought of this possibility. After all, they were all close relatives with blood ties.

But now, a cruel fact was placed before him.

The answer depends on whether grandpa can wake up.

"Are you Zhou Asi's family member?" A young woman's voice suddenly asked from behind.

Zhou Yi looked back and saw a young nurse with big eyes holding several bottles of saline solution.

Zhou A Si was the name of Zhou Yi's grandfather. Zhou Yi nodded quickly. "Yes, I am Zhou A Si's relative."

The young nurse frowned and said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? Why haven't you paid the emergency bill yet? The patient needs medication later. This has delayed his treatment. Are you going to pay for this yourself?"

"Pay?" Zhou Yi immediately understood, and his anger rose.

My grandfather's pension was taken away by my second aunt a long time ago in the name of supplementing the family income, and she only gave the old man 50 yuan in pocket money every month.

It was only after my aunt came to make a fuss that Second Aunt reluctantly gave out the fifty yuan.

My second uncle ran away without even paying grandpa's hospital bills. He's such a jerk.

"I'm sorry, I'll go and pay it now."

Zhou Yi apologized repeatedly and touched his trouser pocket. Fortunately, he had his wallet in his pocket.

"After paying, go to the emergency pharmacy window to get the medicine, and then bring it to the nurse's station." After saying that, the young nurse turned around and left.

Zhou Yi turned and walked towards the payment window. He felt that the young nurse looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
