"Why did you do this?" A rare look of confusion flashed across the policewoman's resolute face.
She had met too many criminals or those who shielded them. Among them, there were quite a few elites like Zuo Mu, most of whom were sophisticated egoists.
Not only would what Zuo Mu did bring no benefit to his future, but if he were required to testify as a tainted witness in court, he might be negatively affected. Or, from another perspective, he might never get promoted again.
Zuo Mu understood the implication in the policewoman's words. He lowered his head, staring at the ground, lost in thought.
Looking at the man in front of her, the policewoman recalled that he had been highly on guard when they first met. But what had she said that had caused such a drastic change in him?
Right, it was the words about countless other victims.
The policewoman recollected their conversation.
It was when she said, "There are thousands of Wang Lins behind this," that Zuo Mu's expression changed.
Zuo Mu hung his head, his figure looking somewhat lonely and cold.
The policewoman was about to ask, but unexpectedly, he raised his head on his own.
"Maybe it's because I'm a doctor," Zuo Mu said with a relieved smile, as if staking his future was no big deal.
The policewoman was quite touched.
She had thought that high - IQ and highly educated people like Zuo Mu always prioritized their own interests and wouldn't care about others. However, it seemed that Zuo Mu was still quite innocent - minded.
"Moreover, Comrade Police Officer, you promised me that once we step out of this door, we've never met, and I've never given you anything. So how would others know?" Zuo Mu arched his sword - shaped eyebrows, showing no concern at all.
Only then did the policewoman realize that to avoid tipping off the suspects, she had come in plain clothes.
To outsiders, she could easily be mistaken for an ordinary patient.
She couldn't help but think more highly of Zuo Mu. From his reaction, it seemed that he had long anticipated that the police would come to him, and he had also prepared an escape route for himself in advance. He managed to hand over the crucial evidence without getting into trouble.
This man was really interesting.
Looking at Zuo Mu's extremely charming face, the policewoman admitted that she had underestimated him. She had thought he was just a good - looking but useless person.
"Contact me if you need anything in the future," the policewoman said, handing over a business card. Zuo Mu took it naturally and gracefully.
The policewoman admired him even more. People always had a natural fondness for good - looking people, and this feeling was even stronger after realizing that the person was not just a show - off.
If it weren't for this man, they might still not know Wang Lin's whereabouts.
Holding the thin list in her hand, the policewoman was filled with mixed emotions.
Seeing that Zuo Mu didn't seem to want to say anything else, and having achieved her goal, the policewoman knew that staying any longer wouldn't yield any more information.
Moreover, since the man had risked his career to give them this list, she would feel embarrassed if she continued to question him.
So the policewoman exchanged a few polite words and then took her leave.
Just as she reached the door, Zuo Mu suddenly called out from behind.
"By the way, Comrade Police Officer."
The policewoman turned back, confused.
Zuo Mu was sitting there, seemingly out of touch with reality, but when he smiled, it was as if the ice and snow had melted instantly.
"If you manage to solve the case, remember to let me know."
There was an inexplicable sense of defiance in his smile.
Was it just because of Wang Lin?
The policewoman was full of doubts, but she still replied, "Okay, I promise you."
After saying that, she didn't look at Zuo Mu anymore and just opened the door and left.
With a "bang", Zuo Mu thought about what he had in his hand, and his expression became a bit blank.
Who on earth had done this?
The policewoman came and left quietly. Except for Zuo Mu, no one noticed that the police had ever been there.
The next day, something happened.
No matter how busy his work was, Zuo Mu would always personally send Tang Tang to the school gate first. Only after watching her enter the school safely would he leave with peace of mind.
Tang Tang teased him, saying, "You're just a worrywart."
At that time, he couldn't help but tap Tang Tang's head, wondering what was inside.
"Stop fooling around!" Zuo Mu said to Tang Tang. "You must always be accompanied wherever you go until the matter is thoroughly investigated."
Seeing Zuo Mu's obviously anxious face, Tang Tang felt embarrassed.
She knew that she had made Zuo Mu so worried when she sneaked away last time. If it weren't for Zuo Mu, she might have been killed.
"I'm sorry," Tang Tang said, looking at Zuo Mu timidly. Their eyes met.
Zuo Mu was distracted by Tang Tang's deer - like upward gaze. He coughed uncomfortably and shifted his gaze, saying, "There won't be a next time."
"Okay," Tang Tang replied happily, knowing that Zuo Mu was no longer angry.
It wasn't until Tang Tang hopped away playfully and disappeared from his sight that Zuo Mu left for the hospital with confidence.
With this delay, he naturally arrived at the hospital late.
However, he was used to being a maverick in the hospital. Although he didn't follow the rules, he was a top - notch neurosurgeon. Naturally, the hospital regarded Zuo Mu as a treasure and didn't blame him for anything.
After Zuo Mu parked his car boldly, he saw several police cars parked under the outpatient building.
People love gossip. A large number of patients and their families who had come to the hospital for treatment had already gathered around. Even people from the nearby small supermarkets and restaurants had come to watch.
Although there were many disputes in the hospital and the police were often called, it was the first time that so many police cars had parked there at once.
"Hey, you don't know. Even the special police have been dispatched," one of the on - lookers began to say.
"Yeah, what a big deal! There are even more police than when someone robs a bank," another person said.
"I don't know. Anyway, it seems quite serious. A classmate of my neighbor's son works here. I'll go back and ask him later."
...
The on - lookers were saying all kinds of things, which made Zuo Mu want to laugh.
Associating it with yesterday's conversation, he understood something.
Without looking any further, Zuo Mu casually flung his windbreaker, walked into the outpatient building while making the girls nearby blush.
The hospital was in a complete mess. Coincidentally, it was Monday, the day when there were the most outpatients. He saw well - trained special police officers guarding every entrance, armed with weapons. The outpatient entrance had been blocked. He had almost failed to get in, and it was only with the business card that he had managed to enter the building.
The patients who hadn't had time to leave were sitting there quietly, not daring to say a word.
He realized that the police were going to catch the suspects by surprise.
However, he didn't expect that the policewoman from yesterday would also be on this operation.
"Team One, focus on the organ transplant department. Team Two, guard every corner strictly. Don't miss any dead spots. Don't let anyone leave," the policewoman said, skillfully dispatching the officers.
Zuo Mu was quite surprised. It seemed that this police officer was also a commander.
So the police here were divided into two groups, each with its own task.
