Chapter 2 — Husband's Death Certificate

"Team Leader Co, is she agitated? You and Team Leader Tham are completely innocent, why did she slander you like that?" Co Thua An asked me: "Where is the box?" "At home." “Where is the photo?” "At home." “Where are the used items?” Hua Niem suddenly covered her mouth. "Lam Thinh, you are really disgusting. Captain Tham is dead, you are still making up these things to ruin his reputation." She cried very quickly, as if she had just opened a valve. "Captain Tham once saved me. He carried me out of the sea of fire. I am grateful to him and respect him. You yourself are not happily married, so do you think all women are that dirty?" A few people had gathered outside the door. Someone whispered: "Normally Hua Niem is very obedient, not like that type of person." “Dr. Lam is a bit scary today.” "My husband just passed away and went to pay, but in return, everyone will think a lot." I looked at them. Among these people, someone had a stomach hemorrhage in the middle of the night, so I inserted an IV into him. A trainer broke a rib, so I took him for an X-ray. Someone's child had a high fever, so I used my day off to run to the hospital to get the number for her. Now, they stand behind Hua Niem's cry, using their eyes to judge me. Co Thua An spoke up: "Doctor Lam, hand over the things to the investigation team." "Maybe." Hua Niem's crying stopped for a moment. I added another sentence: "But I have to preserve the evidence first. Who knows if there will be anyone in your place who can help Tham Nghien and Hua Niem wipe their lips." Co Thua An tightened her document bag. “Are you accusing the entire squad?” “I'm accusing the sender of the parcel.” I looked at Hua Niem. “Also accusing the person who received the two million yuan.” Tears on Hua Niem's face were still hanging there, her voice suddenly became shrill. “What nonsense are you talking about two million yuan?” I said: "I haven't told you who yet, what are you in a hurry for?" She opened her mouth, speechless. Co Thua An glanced at her. That look was very short. Hua Niem immediately bowed her head and sobbed again. “Sister-in-law, you are really crazy.” I turned around and left. Walking to the door, a trainee firefighter called me over in a low voice. “Doctor Lam.” I turned my head. He stuffed a piece of paper into my hand, his voice as small as a mosquito. "That day before the sortie, I saw Hua Niem go into the equipment warehouse. She said Captain Tham told her to go in and get her things." Hua Niem raised her head suddenly. “Tieu Chu, don't talk nonsense!” Tieu Chu took a step back in fear. Co Thua An stared at the piece of paper in my hand. I put the piece of paper in my pocket. “Team leader Co, look, the proof is that he can walk on his own.” The spiritual hall is located in the squad's hall. A black and white photo of Tham Nghien hangs in the middle. That photo was taken by me for him. That day, he had just won first prize in a citywide rescue skills competition, and asked me to stand by the training ground to take a picture. He said he wanted to keep it to make propaganda photos later. Now I actually use it. Make worship photos. When I arrived, the Tham family was present. Tham's mother sat on a chair, crying until her voice was hoarse. Tham's father clasped his hands and stood to one side, his face gloomy. Tham Nghien's younger sister, Tham Dao, saw me and immediately rushed over and pushed me. “Do you still know how to show your face here?” I took a half step back and stood firmly. “Why can't I come?” Tham Dao pointed straight at my nose. "My brother died, you didn't stand by the coffin, didn't pick up your parents, didn't take care of the funeral, you ran to get the death certificate, went to check the money. Lam Thinh, do you have a heart?" Tham's mother heard my name, raised her hand, grabbed the paper cup on the table and threw it. Hot water splashed on my pants leg. “You killed my son!” Everyone in the hall looked over. Hua Niem stood next to Tham's mother, supported her shoulder, and advised in a low voice: "Auntie, don't be angry or you will ruin your life. Maybe your sister-in-law is just too heartbroken." Tham's mother patted Hua Niem's hand. “Nien Niem, if it weren't for you by my side, I really wouldn't be able to survive.” Tham Dao smirked. "Mom, don't call her sister-in-law. Is she worthy? Before the incident happened, my brother said that the person who makes him most tired at home is her." I looked at Tham Dao. “What else did your brother say?

ah?” "He said you were in too much control, your thoughts were heavy, you questioned him all day, even when he talked to your female colleagues you showed your attitude." Hua Niem said softly: "Dao Dao, stop talking." “You just say it.” Tham Dao shouted at me. “When my brother was still alive, she forced him to the point that he couldn't breathe. When he died, he was also eyed by her for his death benefit. Lam Thinh, please hand over the death certificate, the money and house must belong to my parents." I asked: "The house I bought before I got married, does it also belong to your parents?" Tham's father finally spoke up. “Lam Thinh, now is not the time to calculate these things.” “So when does it count?” I looked at him. “Waiting for Tham Nghien to come back to life?” Hua Niem's finger stopped on Tham's mother's shoulder. Tham's father frowned: "What do you mean?" “It doesn't mean anything.” I took out a file of documents from my pocket.
