Chapter 471: First Meeting with Zhang Junde
The day after the trial results came out, news came from the hospital that Zhang Junde was in stable health and could now accept the transcript.
So Jiang Yang, Yu Jing, Gao Jinyang and Sister Wang rushed over immediately.
Several people were shocked when they saw Zhang Junde.
The young man in front of him was skinny and skinny, with sunken eyes. He looked twenty years older.
It doesn’t match the cheerful and sunny look in the photo at all.
His whole body was covered with various tubes and instruments, and he spoke word by word, gasping for breath after speaking only two sentences.
Zhang Junde's parents took leave from other places to take care of him. Both his parents were relatively thin, with rough fingers and withered faces.
It is a mark caused by years of exposure to the scorching sun.
Everyone had learned about the victim before, and knew that the family had a rural registered permanent residence. The old couple had been farming for their whole lives, and Zhang Junde was the only one who had a son.
"Police officers, sit down," Zhang's mother was a little embarrassed. She wiped her hands and went to get apples for everyone, "Eat some apples first? We grow them ourselves. They are delicious! No worse than those sold in the city."
Gao Jinyang waved his hand and was about to push it away but was held down by Jiang Yang. He smiled and took the initiative: "Thank you, auntie. I'm sorry to disturb you, classmate Zhang, from your rest. Let's ask some details and then leave. It won't waste classmate Zhang too much time." of."
As he said that, he took a bite. The apple was very crisp and juicy, and it was indeed very delicious.
"tasty!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
Seeing this, several other people took the initiative to take the apples, and the oppressive atmosphere in the ward finally relaxed.
"Hey, as long as you like to eat, then... you talk, let's go out first."
Father Zhang is also an honest man. He tucked his son in and got up and walked out, "If you need anything, just call us!"
"It's okay, you go and do your work."
Jiang Yang followed and closed the door. When he returned to his seat, Zhang Junde had already looked over: "Officer Jiang? I know you. Thank you for serving us justice and bringing criminals to justice."
His voice was hoarse, and the corners of his mouth were pulled into a smile.
Without waiting for Jiang Yang to respond, he spoke first: "Yifan, Xiao Guo and I usually prefer carbonated drinks. Those two are young and don't know how to have fun all day long. They get into trouble when they get together. Brother Tao and I are better than the two of them. In our junior year, we participated in several competition groups together, and occasionally we met in elective courses. Over time, we became familiar with them.”
"Boys, they get to know each other quickly, and they are all from law school, so there are always endless topics to talk about,"
"Every time the group meets, they always hold a Coke or Sprite each. Brother Tao is young, but he is like an old lady. He talks about me when he sees her. He talks about me in the dormitory and they talk about them in the laboratory."
"The three of us said behind his back that he was strict about his wife, but he was not angry, but very happy. Brother Tao would make video calls to his wife whenever he had time and asked me to get out."
Speaking of this, Zhang Junde showed a nostalgic look and smiled peacefully.
"Because his wife went to Fu City to play in the first year of college. When the three of us were having dinner, she complimented me that I was more handsome than Brother Tao. She made that kid very angry. I remember it to this day."
From Zhang Junde's narration, it can be seen that his relationship with Jian Tao is really good.
Gao Jinyang tapped the keyboard lightly, and the others quietly waited for him to continue.
"I also said that I would be the godfather to Brother Tao's baby, and he was so happy. Who knew that everything would change when I woke up."
Zhang Junde was silent for a moment, staring straight at the gray wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Can you tell me what happened that day?"
Jiang Yang asked softly: "For example, when you met for hot pot, was there anything more concerning that happened during that time?"
His words brought Zhang Junde's divergent thoughts back.
"Sorry, I'm easily distracted."
Especially after N2 poisoning, the cerebral cortex is damaged and the associated reactions are also slowed down.
Fortunately, Zhang Junde's vision was the first to recover, and he has now reached the level where he can see.
He recalled it carefully before speaking: "Brother Tao and I met first. We lived in the same dormitory in our freshman year, and graduate students were also assigned together by coincidence. The situation of Xiao Guo and Yifan was similar. They also entered the university right after they entered the university. So we were separated, so even though we were three or four years apart, we always had something in common to talk about.”
"The year they graduated happened to be the year we graduated from graduate school, so we made an appointment before to have dinner together to celebrate. But what I didn't expect was that Pan Zhaoqing actually agreed to go out with us."
"He is usually very cold. Brother Tao and I are not familiar with him when we were undergraduates. We only know that he has a very serious senior brother in the field of investigation who likes to compete with others no matter what."
"Sometimes I can even argue with the teacher."
"Later, because we are from the same college, investigation and law are inseparable. Several of our public courses overlap, and we have formed teams for competitions, so we can barely talk to each other."
"Pan Zhaoqing is quite difficult to get along with. When we were in a group, we called him to get together but it didn't work. Later, when things got worse, we just told him what he meant. Anyway, we knew he was not interested in gatherings."
Zhang Junde sighed, "But I mentioned it casually that day, but I didn't expect that he actually agreed to go with me. In fact, I was just being polite, just being polite."
"I told Brother Tao and the others when I got back, and everyone was a little at a loss. But Pan Zhaoqing was very polite and brought a dozen Cokes."
Speaking of this, he had a complicated expression on his face, like resentment and self-blame.
"I really hate Pan Zhaoqing! If I hadn't said that, the three of them would have been fine!"
"I am alive today thanks to Brother Tao and the other two... I am too ashamed to see them, it's all my fault!"
Zhang Junde suddenly got emotional and raised his hand to hit his head hard.
Jiang Yang was startled and rushed over to stop him, and Yu Jing quickly pressed the nurse's bell.
"Calm down! Pan Zhaoqing poisoned premeditatedly. Even if you didn't invite him to dinner, there would always be other opportunities for him to succeed! It's not your problem that you can't defend against a criminal with ulterior motives!"
The needle scratched the back of Zhang Junde's hand, and bright red blood flowed all over the floor.
Jiang Yang spoke loudly in his ear, trying to make him regain his sanity.
"No, Officer Jiang, you don't understand! It's all my fault! It was my hypocritical invitation and self-righteous ideas that harmed them!"
Zhang Junde shook his head desperately, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes and soaking the pillow.
"I had a slight cold that morning, so I drank two cups of vitamin C effervescent tablets when I got up. I didn't drink much Coke because I was afraid of diarrhea after eating hot pot at noon. Most of it was shared by the three of them."
"Brother Tao doesn't like carbonated drinks, but he is thrifty! He doesn't want to waste them. He also said that it was rare for someone as arrogant as Pan Zhaoqing to show his goodwill to us, so he was happy and drank all three cans in front of me..."
Zhang Junde burst into tears, his face flushed.
"Xiao Guo and Yifan were noisy and jumped up to grab them. In the end, I only drank two or three sips... Why did you let me live!"
