Without giving Lin Yi a chance to ask more, the few of them hurriedly got into the car and rushed towards the crime scene.
“Boss, what happened?”
“There’s a child who was bullied in school. He’s not in good condition and is receiving treatment in the hospital. Now that the parents have called the police, we are going to the hospital to investigate.”
Lin Yi frowned.
“How old are the kids? Was this school bullying?”
“Junior High. We don’t know the specifics yet, but the parents said the attackers were all students from the school. Over ten kids ganged up on one, so it seems like school bullying.”
“Let’s go check it out first.”
Before understanding the full situation, Lin Yi couldn’t say much, but he had always been deeply disgusted by such incidents.
They needed to get to the hospital to understand the details.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Zhonghai Third Hospital.
It was also a tertiary hospital like Huashan Hospital.
However, its medical equipment and the doctors’ expertise were not on the same level.
With Li Chuhan’s qualifications, she could only be a cardiac surgery director at Huashan Hospital. But here, she would easily be the dean.
The contrast between the two was stark.
Zhonghai Third Hospital was less crowded, unlike the bustling Huashan Hospital.
Upon arrival, Gu Yiran contacted the victim’s family and followed their directions to the orthopedic ward in the first inpatient building.
The hallway was quiet, with most rooms empty. Occasionally, a family member would come out.
Despite the gap in medical standards compared to a top-tier hospital like Huashan Hospital, the lower cost made it a preferred choice for families with limited means or for minor surgeries.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At the door of the ward, Gu Yiran knocked politely and entered.
There were three people in the ward. Other than a middle-aged couple, there was another person lying on the bed.
Judging from their looks, the middle-aged couple should be in their forties. Their faces were dark, and there were wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. There were calluses on their hands. They seemed to be people who had come to Zhonghai to work.
Just as Lin Yi had expected, the man’s name was Sun Fu, and the woman’s name was Han Guizhi. The couple had come to Zhonghai from Chuansheng to work.
Although a carpenter’s income was not high, he could still maintain his living expenses.
Lin Yi walked to the other side and pulled up the leg of her pants.
He was surprised to find that Sun Peipei’s thighs were covered in bruises.
There were even two circular scars.
“What happened here?” Lin Yi asked.
“They, they burned it with a cigarette butt...”
Burn scars...
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran frowned. They had dealt with school bullying cases before, but this was the first time they had seen such a bad case.
Compared to school violence, they hated school bullying more.
Because the latter would suffer more psychological trauma and even mental damage than the former!
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He was surprised to see that the girl’s ankle was also bruised.
“What happened here?”
“I fell,” Sun Peipei whispered.
“Fell?” Lin Yi asked, “How did you fall? Did you fall in gym class?”
“They told me to jump from the second floor. When I didn’t agree, they hit me. Then I jumped into the flower bed downstairs and sprained my ankle.”
“How did this happen?”
Lin Yi’s face had darkened considerably.
“I jumped from the second floor again, but this time they picked a different spot. There wasn’t a flowerbed, so I landed on the ground and broke my leg.”
“Boohoohoo...”
Hearing her daughter speak, Han Guizhi cried even harder.
“They’re too much, bullying us because we’re from out of town. Officers, you must help us.”
“Don’t worry. Once I get to the bottom of this, I’ll make sure justice is served and they don’t go unpunished.”
Responding quietly, Lin Yi pulled down the girl’s pant leg.
He lifted her shirt to her chest, revealing no cigarette burns on her abdomen but many bruises, clearly from being pinched.
Next, Lin Yi rolled up the sleeves of her hospital gown, finding cigarette burns on her right arm.
Additionally, there were several small cuts. Though they had scabbed over, they were still clearly visible.
“How did these happen? Were they made with a knife?”
