Right! After sitting down on the chair, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had been so shocked by the information that he almost forgot an important thing.
Coincidentally, Li Qiang also came early. He saw Xiao Chen with dark circles under his eyes. Just as he was about to kindly tease the junior in his capacity as a senior, he saw the latter coming over excitedly and still pointing his phone at him.
"I found that I forgot important information yesterday." Xiao Chen zoomed in on the details in the photo and said slowly, "This is what I engraved on the wall next to the phone."
Li Qiang leaned in and saw the four senseless numbers "1123" written there.
What is this?
Li Qiang felt his brain cells were not enough.
What does 1123 mean?
Perhaps a thousand readers would have a thousand interpretations.
Xiao Chen stared blankly at the numbers. Suddenly, he thought of someone, and this person happened to be within his circle of trust.
There was nothing he could do. Who asked the other person to be so technically awesome?
Early in the morning, Zuo Mu was sending Tang Tang to his increasingly busy outpatient clinic. Why was the number of patients still rising instead of falling these days?
At this moment, Zuo Mu was obviously unaware of the speed of online spread.
Many of the patients coming here were attracted by his fame, but not for his medical skills. It was his face that they were after.
There was even a fan club dedicated to Zuo Mu.
Zuo Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself that he shouldn't have taken those photos in the first place.
But since they were all patients, he couldn't very well drive them away. He had no choice but to endure all this.
Suddenly, a special notification sound came from his phone.
Hearing this sound, the softness on Zuo Mu's face disappeared. Instead, he looked a bit serious. He paused his outpatient service and checked the message.
There wasn't much in the message, just a simple photo, probably taken in the dark. Miraculously, the picture wasn't blurry.
The more he looked at it, the more shocking it became.
The few numbers carved on the wall were particularly eye - catching.
"1123"
What these numbers represented, others might not know, but Zuo Mu couldn't not know.
Because it was Tang Tang's birthday.
Tang Tang's birthday wasn't a secret. Many of her relatives and friends knew about it.
But it was particularly glaring because the criminals couldn't have known the birthday of an unrelated stranger in advance.
Zuo Mu's hand clutching the phone almost wanted to wipe away those glaring numbers.
But it was all in vain. After all, the criminals had already obtained information about the people around him. Zuo Mu wasn't very happy because although they knew Tang Tang's birthday, who knew how much more information they had about the innocent Tang Tang just from this one clue?
The thing Zuo Mu was most worried about finally happened.
Tang Tang was still studying peacefully at school, completely unaware of the turmoil outside.
After much consideration, Zuo Mu finally decided to keep this a secret.
At worst, he would just spend more energy keeping an eye on Tang Tang. He just hoped that the little girl could safely get through this crisis.
At noon, Zuo Mu drove his Prado, which was particularly eye - catching among all the cars. He leaned quietly against his car at the school gate and waited for the students to finish school.
After a while, as soon as the school gate opened, the first thing that caught his eye was Tang Tang bouncing towards him.
With the girl's innocent face and small figure, Zuo Mu felt his heart rate increase a few beats.
"Brother Zuo Mu!" Seeing Zuo Mu, Tang Tang waved excitedly and ran even faster.
Looking at the carefree face of the girl in front of him, Zuo Mu had an idea. He lovingly patted Tang Tang on the head and asked, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Emmm..." Tang Tang tilted her head and thought for a while, pouted, and shook her head. Her cute little braids swayed back and forth, looking extremely cute.
"I don't want to eat anything. Brother Zuo Mu, why don't we go home and cook?" Tang Tang proposed happily.
Although she was smiling peacefully, Zuo Mu could see a trace of worry beneath that smile.
What was going on?
Did he make Tang Tang worried?
In the car, he tentatively asked, "Did anything happen at school today?"
"Nothing..." Tang Tang knew she couldn't hide her feelings from Zuo Mu, so she had to confess, "I saw Wang Lin's parents at school again today. She's so pitiful, and so are her parents. I don't know how they'll live in the future."
Thinking of this, Tang Tang became very depressed.
"Brother Zuo Mu, when do you think the police will catch the murderer and give Wang Lin an explanation? If Wang Lin's parents keep going like this, I'm really afraid something will happen to them."
Tang Tang had this question a long time ago, but she never asked it.
Today, she finally got the chance.
How could Zuo Mu not guess her little thoughts?
He originally thought Tang Tang was just a carefree little girl, but after getting close to her, he found that this was just her protective color. In fact, she was very gentle and sensitive inside.
Xiao Chen's message was still lingering in his mind, refusing to leave for a long time.
Oh well.
Zuo Mu sighed deeply in his heart.
He'd keep it a secret for now. Just seeing Wang Lin's parents already made her so upset. If she knew the news, it would be even worse.
So Zuo Mu changed the subject, "You students don't need to worry about this. Everything will come to light one day."
Tang Tang's eyes were teary. She nodded, agreeing with this statement in her heart.
To cheer Tang Tang up, Zuo Mu took her to the supermarket again.
Whether they were shopping purposefully or just strolling around, Tang Tang's mood obviously improved a lot.
Seeing the relaxed Tang Tang, a smile appeared on Zuo Mu's lips.
The next day, he was a bit headache - stricken looking at the countless messages sent by Xiao Chen.
Zuo Mu and Xiao Chen had known each other a long time ago. They were something like close friends and also teasing buddies.
Seeing this guy bombarding him with messages, Zuo Mu was a bit puzzled. He simply called directly.
"What are you up to?"
The person on the other end answered the phone quite quickly.
Zuo Mu heard a small voice from the other side, "Zuo Mu, I'm sure that based on the information we currently have, Wang Lin is definitely not the first victim."
This coincided with Zuo Mu's thoughts.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zuo Mu's mind.
In reality, to solve these problems, there had to be evidence, enough evidence. Otherwise, even if the truth was discovered, it would be in vain for others.
He didn't go to work the next day. In order to verify his conjecture, he got up early and went to the police station.
Because of Xiao Chen, he wasn't unfamiliar with the police station. Especially since the hospital was also registered there, he naturally had to be responsible for these things.
"Zuo Mu!" A boy who was on good terms with Xiao Chen called out to Zuo Mu.
It seemed that he had only been working here for a short time.
"How's the efficiency here?" Zuo Mu asked with concern.
The other person confidently patted his chest and assured, "You can rest assured about my speed. I'm sure I can find what you want."
