"So you're saying that for the past three years, Zhao Yang had been out and never returned until recently, right?" Xia Bing asked.
"Exactly!"
"Then what was he doing during these three years?" Xia Bing fell silent for a moment before muttering to herself.
"He must have been working outside. He's just a country boy with no connections, just trying to make a living," the detective laughed.
"How could that be possible? He's running a clinic now. And where did he learn his medical skills from?" Xia Bing, meticulous as a hair, recalled Zhao Yang's mention of attending some "Mountain People's University" and realized he wasn't joking. He must have indeed found a master to teach him medicine during these years.
Just then, Li Xingkui and Li Xingmao stood outside the door and called in, "A car's coming. Looks like it's from the county."
Hearing this, Xia Bing immediately rushed out with the two detectives, and Zhao Yang followed behind them.
