In the morning, Lin Jie ca to Lin Miao's room and found her still lying in bed, while Lele was lazily sprawled at the bedside, calling out, "Miaomiao, still lying in bed? It's ti to get up and have breakfast!"
"Brother, I'm resting today, I want to sleep in!"
Having said this, Lin Miao imdiately turned over and wrapped herself in the thin blanket.
Seeing this, Lin Jie didn't continue to call her and left the room to eat breakfast himself.
He hadn't finished breakfast when he received a call from Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Ah Jie, there was a major case in Garden One Village, a murder case. Chen Liang is dead, killed at ho."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Jie was sowhat incredulous; having lived in Garden One Village for so many years, he had only heard of thefts and stolen electric bikes, but nothing as serious as this.
"Would I lie to you?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke in an annoyed tone, "Three or four police cars have co to the community, they've cordoned off the area, not allowing outsiders to enter. Kong Mingqing is also involved in the case, I confird it with him."
Lin Jie felt a wave of regret.
Chen Liang was only three or four years older than him; although they weren't very familiar, there was so level of acquaintance.
"What did Kong say? Has the murderer been caught? Was it a vendetta or did it happen during a burglary or robbery struggle?"
"Specifically, Kong Mingqing didn't say much."
Zhang Xiaoxiao described in detail, "I heard from nearby neighbors that around five or six in the morning, there suddenly ca a scream from Chen Liang's house that didn't sound human, followed by shouts of 'murder!'"
"The startled neighbors went to his house to see, only to find Chen Liang lying on the ground covered in blood, and his wife Cai Qi shocked to the point of trembling like a sieve!"
"The neighbors helped report to the police and also called 120; by the ti the police arrived, they found he had been dead for quite so ti."
Lin Jie sighed and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, don't co over today, stay in the community to keep an eye on the matter!"
"You should represent in expressing condolences to Chen Liang's parents and his wife Cai Qi, ask if they need anything, and help as much as you can."
"Alright, I haven't seen Chen Liang's parents or Cai Qi yet. Once I et them, I'll definitely convey your sentints. Oh, Ah Jie, there's another thing!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said indignantly, "My deadbeat dad, after another surgery and recovering his health, is living a debauched lifestyle every day, and is going around saying I'm unfilial!"
She snorted, saying, "I just pretend not to know, not to argue with him."
"But, so ti ago, he hooked up with a woman! And guess what..."
"Hmph, I just found out yesterday, all his money was secretly taken away by this woman."
"Yesterday, he ca back crying and begging to support him."
Lin Jie was a bit speechless, such a father really made Zhang Xiaoxiao worry.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can I do?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's tone suddenly cald, saying, "I've already done my utmost duty towards him, now that his health is recovered and he has the ability to work, he should support himself!"
"If soday he can't support himself anymore, I'll find him a nursing ho."
"But, Ah Jie, I want to move to your place for a few days; I really don't want daily quarrels and entanglents with him. He doesn't care about his face, but I do."
Lin Jie expressed, "My place is your ho too, you can co back anyti."
After breakfast, Lin Jie went to the study to start theoretical research on cerebral arteriovenous substitution.
This was his first ti truly leading a research project, and the complexity of the brain far exceeded current human cognitive levels, with a huge number of mysteries waiting to be explored.
Lin Jie dared not be careless, first finding as much evidence as possible in theoretical research, and discovering possible problems...
Imrsed in it, Lin Jie neglected the passage of ti until the door was pushed open, and Lele rushed over, occasionally pouncing on his left and right legs.
"Brother, it's already past two in the afternoon and you haven't had lunch; don't you feel hungry?"
Hearing Lin Miao's reproachful voice, Lin Jie touched his stomach and laughed, "I am a bit hungry indeed. Miaomiao, what did you make for lunch?"
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Miao said, "Brother, actually, after I got up and didn't see you, I thought you had gone out early. If it weren't for Qin Gang coming to find you, I wouldn't have known you were holed up in the study."
"Are you in a hurry to go out? I'll make you a bowl of wonton noodles!"
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry, just in the afternoon I have to go to the Affiliated Hospital to see a patient!"
Last night, Lin Jie received the information.
He knew that Shao Deyao's cerebrovascular aneurysm embolization surgery was successful, so he intended to visit the hospital this afternoon to check his postoperative recovery to determine the timing of the vocal cord surgery.
After lunch, when Lin Jie rushed to the Affiliated Hospital, it was already close to four-thirty.
Entering Shao Deyao's ward, he found him sternly hosting a remote video eting!
"Let's conclude today's eting here!"
After saying this, Shao Deyao closed the video on his laptop and explained to Lin Jie, "Company matters, big and small, are never-ending. Expert Lin, please have a seat."
"I've co to check your latest post-surgery examination results!"
Lin Jie took a stack of test reports and films from Shao Deyao, leafing through them as he asked, "Mr. Shao, you are now young and successful, renowned; why are you still so concerned about your voice?"
"I've grown accustod to your voice; it has a unique quality."
"That short-statured star from Hong Kong Island has a voice that's only slightly better than yours."
Shao Deyao chuckled, saying, "Now there's no one who laughs at my voice."
"But back when I was in school, when my career wasn't successful yet, 'duck voice' was what everyone called , even my friends, so relatives, that's how they addressed !"
"On the surface, I appeared calm and indifferent, but internally, I cared a lot. At that ti, I secretly resolved that as long as I had the chance, I would definitely cure my voice."
"This has beco an obsession for ; I ask Expert Lin to fulfill this wish for ."
Lin Jie nodded quietly and continued to examine the test reports and various films carefully.
A few minutes later, he handed the materials back to Shao Deyao, saying, "From the latest test data and films, this intervention surgery was quite successful, and the occurrences of seizures have also lessened sowhat."
"If there's nothing unusual after observing for three to four days, I'll perform voice surgery for you. The surgery ti..."
"Tentatively scheduled for Sunday morning!"
Lin Jie further advised, "In the week following the surgery, you mustn't speak out loud; for half a month, speak less, and don't speak loudly."
"In these few days, also make so preparations in advance, arrange your work and life."
Shao Deyao said gravely, "Expert Lin, this ti I will definitely follow your instructions strictly; I won't let the foolish things that happened during the voice change recur."
"Expert Lin, that, that..."
Seeing him suddenly hesitant, Lin Jie said, "If you have any concerns, just speak out!"
"Not concerns, Expert Lin..."
Shao Deyao said, sowhat embarrassed, "I really like that news anchor's voice on CCTV; his voice has such magnetism and penetration."
"This voice of mine, Expert Lin, do you think it's possible?"
"Impossible!"
Lin Jie understood his aning and said firmly, "This wish of yours is absolutely impossible."
"I'll perform surgery on your vocal cords, and based on my dical experience, make your vocal cords slightly tense. I'll try to control a degree of tension, but this degree won't be precise, just a range!"
"Plus so other unpredictable factors, ultimately what your voice will sound like, I can't say for certain, let alone say you want to precisely change it to soone else's voice."
Lin Jie said solemnly, "All I can tell you is, after the surgery, your voice will improve compared to now, but how much it improves depends on your luck."
"Mr. Shao, under these circumstances, do you still want the surgery?"
"Yes, absolutely!"
Shao Deyao quickly said, "As long as my voice can improve, I'll be satisfied."
"Actually, I also understand that having a voice like the anchor's is just a luxury, a fantasy!"
Lin Jie suddenly rembered sothing and said, "Our perception of sound is very subjective, especially as oneself, who has grown accustod to the sound for decades, suddenly changing to another sound; it's possible to be unaccustod or even resentful."
"Mr. Shao, at that point, you should better book a few psychological consultations to adapt to this change."
He further reminded, "After the vocal cord surgery, your vocal quality, pitch frequency, etc., could change significantly."
"If you use your current voice to set an audio recognition password, you should find a way to cancel it now!"
Shao Deyao nodded, "Thank you for the reminder; I will book psychological consultations!"
"As for the voice password, I've only installed a smart voice control system in my ho in Capital City. If it becos unrecognizable at that ti, I'll just need to enter the main permissions and reset it with the improved voice."
After discussing so topics related to the surgery, Lin Jie took his leave.
He had just gotten into the car when he received another call from An Keng!
"Brother Jie, I've just finished school, but my stomach still feels a bit uncomfortable. I think drinking the Eight-Treasure Health Soup once more would make my stomach feel much better."
Lin Jie shook his head, knowing this little girl was being greedy,
After instructing Qin Gang to change the route to Yucai Middle School, he unexpectedly received a call from Kong Mingqing.
"Lin Jie, you're quite the dical expert now, let ask you, do you think there's a possibility of sleepwalking and committing murder?"
