Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Another Murder Case

Lin Xiangming's promise to Li Heng was fulfilled.Although reporters from major metropolitan newspapers had learned from different channels that the murderer of the series of breast-cutting murders had been arrested, on the morning of July 10, the only newspaper on the news stand was the Legal Times, which prominently displayed the news on the front page. A shocking headline came out - "Murder case of breast cutting series solved"! The subtitle was "Our reporter joined the task force and assisted the police in successfully capturing the perpetrator"! Signature of the report: Guo Xiaofen.Photos of the scene were also distributed. Although the police put a black hood on the murderer, it did not affect the sensational effect it produced.For more than half a month, the haze that had been densely covering the heads of every citizen was cleared up this morning: all the people smiled and told their relatives and friends the good news as soon as possible; "Finally caught that bastard!" It replaced all the greetings when acquaintances meet; the breasts of fashionable women who were deliberately restrained in order to avoid attacks were liberated, and the cleavage exposed by a low-cut bra became a landscape in the crowded subway station; "Lin Xiangming" The three characters have become the synonym for a hero. On Baidu's post bar, there was originally "Lin Xiangming Bar" created by his admirers. This day, the number of hits is rolling up! Someone put this handsome and extraordinary young man Posted a photo of the murder case, followed by exclamations of "I'm so handsome" and "I love it to death"; the media in many countries declared that "the successful detection of this series of murder cases is enough to prove that the criminal investigation level of the Chinese police has reached a new level." Height"... In the city bureau, pretty policewomen deliberately walked past the door of the Behavioral Science Group office this day, glancing at the tea from the corner of their eyes, hoping to attract his attention, just like a catwalk on a catwalk.Other policemen also came to congratulate Xiangming. Xiangming always had a faint smile on his face, and said in the same way: "This is the collective contribution of our task force." Only Liu Simiao, who was careful, noticed that Xiangming Ming did not eat lunch. "Aren't you hungry?" she asked him.Xiangming shook her head.At this time the phone rang, and it was Zhou Jinchen who called: "Xiangming, the director has already made an appointment. We will hold a celebration meeting for all members of the special case team in the evening. You must attend." As if knowing that he was going to refuse, Zhou Jinchen just said the words After finishing, he hung up the phone, not allowing him to speak. "What's the matter?" Si Miao asked. "There will be a celebration meeting tonight..." A trace of tiredness appeared on Xiang Ming's face (perhaps a little tired too?), "Si Miao, I want to be alone in the room, okay?" Si Miao nodded and went out , closed the door.Xiang Tea moved a chair and sat in front of the window, looking at the familiar street.The sky was still clear in the morning, and at some point, a strange color suddenly appeared: the edge of the sky was a gloomy lead color, while the middle was like a pool full of water, emitting a heavy light.Kind of like eyes pregnant with tears.He just sat there quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, the door behind him opened gently. "Why are you here?" He didn't look back, he knew who it was just by the sound of footsteps.Hu Yanyun dragged a chair, sat down beside him, and looked at the street outside the window like him, and the tear-like sky above the street: "The Criminal Investigation Corps asked me to come over and explain why Juanzi was holding something written in her hand. The handkerchief with my name... I've finished talking, so I'll come and see you." "Didn't I not let them bother you?" Xiang Ming said angrily, and then comforted: "It's business, don't worry too much about it." Hu Yan Yun smiled: "Xiangming, do you think I killed Juanzi?" "No." Xiangming said. "You're lying to yourself, but you also suspect me!" Facing Xiang Ming's sad eyes, Hu Yanyun laughed wildly, "Just now they asked me if I killed anyone? Now man is beast! I often do weird things after drinking and wake up without knowing it, who can say I didn't kill? Who can say I didn't have blood on my hands? Guys like me, should Immediately catch them and send them to a prison or a mental hospital to avoid future troubles! You didn’t see their stunned expressions, you were all terrified... Hahahahaha!"

"Huyan, I need your help—" Xiangming said quietly, "more than ever before!" Huyanyun's laughter stopped abruptly: "What did you say?" In the gloomy sky, the handsome face raised was covered with a layer of pure white light: "I need your help, Huyan, you have to help me catch suspect No. 1 and save those who were killed. In this building, this This street, this city, thought it was over. But no, all this is far from over. The more cunning and murderous suspect No. 1 has not been brought to justice. In the papers, maybe suspect number 2 would never have followed suit and killed so many innocent people, you understand? The perpetrators have not yet been brought to justice, and people are celebrating too soon... Besides, I don't know What is there to celebrate, although the murderer was arrested, where did this freak come from? Every drop of milk that feeds the criminal, each of us has a share - don't they understand?!" Hu Yanyun shook his head .At this time, Liu Simiao opened the door and walked in: "The latest news, because there is no definite evidence to cover up the murderer, Bai Tianyu was released half an hour ago." Lin Xiangming nodded.At this time the phone rang, Si Miao picked it up and listened to it, then put down the phone frowning: "This horse is laughing, he is really messing around." "What's wrong?" Xiang Ming asked. "Head nurse Yu called, saying that Ma Xiaozhong came to visit Chen Dan in the hospital. When he ran into Secretary Hou, he started to fight without asking any questions..." "Hou's surname? The one under Xu Cheng?" Xiang Ming was surprised Ask, "What is he going to the hospital for?" "It seems that Xu Cheng sent him to visit Chen Dan, and I don't know what's going on." Si Miao said, "By the way, head nurse Yu wants to invite you to the hospital for a while." I have something important to tell you." Xiangming said: "Okay, let's go. Huyan, let's go together." On the way to the hospital, Xiangming suddenly remembered: "Why did Xiao Guo go? Today I haven't seen her." "I don't know." Liu Simiao said coldly.When I arrived at the parking lot of Renji Hospital, I opened the door and got off the car. The first sentence of Xiangming was: "Why is the sky getting more and more cloudy?" The dark clouds in the sky are getting denser and denser, like a bottle of ink that has been knocked over, spreading and spreading , There is some light between the gaps in the clouds, which seems to be going out.

Walking into the small white building, although the lights are on in the corridor, it gives people a strong sense of darkness, especially the corners, which are as dark as mice.I saw the two glass doors in front that divided the corridor into the inside and the outside. The broken one on the right was tightly closed. Although the one on the left was open, it was now blocked by a ladder, and a person was standing on the ladder. , looking up and fiddling with the surveillance camera installed on the door frame.Nurse Xiao Qiao stood under the ladder, holding a cup of tea in her hand: "Is it still not good? Come down and drink a glass of water!" "It's so fucking difficult to repair." The maintenance person came down from the ladder.When Xiang Ming and the others saw it, they couldn't help being taken aback.This person is Xi Ning's boyfriend, and - he is also dating that woman named Zhang Na at the same time, near the "Zizilou Community Fitness Center", Si Miao once caught him hugging Zhang Na from behind, like Lian Swaggering around like a baby.Hu Yanyun's complexion suddenly became very ugly.The repairman recognized Hu Yanyun, his expression was still blank, but there was an unconcealable contempt in his eyes.Liu Simiao asked sternly: "What are you doing? Why are you here?" Nurse Xiao Qiao quickly explained: "This Mr. Hu Yang, we invited to repair the camera." "Isn't it fixed yet?" Lin Xiangming ask. "Why don't you come up and try?" Hu Yang replied provocatively, while keeping his eyes on Liu Simiao's plump breasts. "What are you looking at!" Liu Simiao felt that his eyes were extremely dirty, and angrily shouted.Hu Yang sneered and said, "The eyes are on my face. I can look at them whenever I want. Can you control me?" At this time, a door inside the nurse's desk on duty next door opened, and the nurse's lounge was inside.Head nurse Yu came out and called Lin Xiangming and the others to come in and rest.Sit down in the lounge.Nurse Xiao Qiao poured everyone a glass of water, then backed out. "I heard that Ma Xiaozhong caused trouble for you." Lin Xiangming took a sip of water and said, "What's going on?" The head nurse Yu told the whole story, dumbfounded: Secretary Hou came with a large bouquet of flowers and said yes Following Xu Cheng's order, he represented him to visit "Miss Chen Dan who had been with him before".Putting down the flowers in room 112, after sitting for two minutes, Ma laughed, and immediately asked Secretary Hou what he was doing here.Before Secretary Hou finished speaking, Ma Xiaozhong dragged him out of Room 112 by the collar and beat him up in the corridor. The police on duty who were ordered to protect Chen Dan here couldn't persuade him.During the fighting, Secretary Hou took out his mobile phone to call the police. When the police car arrived, although Ma Xiaozhong showed his police officer ID, but Secretary Hou was also a prominent figure. The police had to take Ma Xiaozhong and Secretary Hou away for questioning. The policeman on duty was also required to testify and was taken away together.

"What a mess!" Liu Simiao said, frowning.What Xiangming was worried about was another thing: "Xu Cheng didn't come early or late, why did he choose this time to send someone to see Chen Dan? It seems that when we went to the nightclub to tune Fanny and Wang Jun's video The fact that the video materials of Chen Dan, Jia Kui and others’ activities in the nightclub were also removed must have attracted his attention!” Liu Simiao nodded: “The police force to protect Chen Dan needs to be properly strengthened.” Xiang Ming asked Head nurse Yu: "How is Chen Dan's situation?" "She still sleeps a lot, and occasionally wakes up." Head nurse Yu said, "I invite you here today mainly to report an important situation. We The director of the hospital's rehabilitation department suddenly mentioned during lunch today that although Chen Dan's mouth was poured with sulfuric acid and the phalanges of his hands were all broken, he couldn't hold a pen or type on the keyboard, but he could make Chen Dan talk." Lin Xiangming and Liu Simiao glanced at each other: "What can he do?" The head nurse Yu said: "That's right, the Rehabilitation Department introduced a newest self-care platform for paralyzed patients from the United States at the beginning of this year. For operation, a sensor board is set at the position of the patient's hand. Even if any limb of the patient rubs against the sensor board with the wrist, the preset program in the computer can execute the patient's order, and even swipe according to the patient's friction. The traces and corresponding handwriting appearing on the screen are like writing by a patient—isn’t this the same as letting Chen Dan speak? If she knows the clues of her murderer, she can definitely provide them to you.” Lin Xiangming and Liu Simiao nodded in unison.Si Miao was careful, and especially told head nurse Yu: "This news should be kept secret, if it spreads out, it may be harmful to Chen Dan." Head nurse Yu remembered that not long ago, a man broke into room 112 with a knife at night, and couldn't help but feel lingering fear: " Didn’t the newspaper say that the murderer has been caught, why is Chen Dan still in danger?” Lin Xiangming said: “We only caught one murderer, but in fact, there are two murderers in the series of breast-cutting murders…” Before he finished speaking, he rushed to the door, and pulled it open with a "huh"! Teacher Wu Jia was standing at the door blankly. Not far behind him, the video camera repairer Populus euphratica also came down from the ladder and leaned against the door. The inside of the nurse's desk on duty.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xiangming asked Wu Jia with a very severe tone. "I..." Wu Jia was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he hesitated after a while: "I want to ask about Chen Dan's recovery, how long will it take for her to fully wake up?" "It's hard to say now. You are Chen Dan's class teacher, right?" I've been here before." The head nurse said.Wu Jia smiled unnaturally and nodded.Lin Xiangming found out that when the head nurse was speaking, Hu Yang had already climbed up the ladder again and was tinkering with the surveillance camera.Sitting in the room, Hu Yanyun raised his head and stared blankly out of the window. The sky was dark and gloomy, and the heavy dark clouds hung upside down like graves one after another under the sky. "Whether Chen Dan can recover depends directly on her recuperation status. I have no objection to the teachers and students of your school visiting patients, but she must be given a certain amount of rest time, which cannot be endless like a wheel war." Head nurse Yu said. "Huh?" Xiang Ming was a little alert, "Is there any visitor in room 112?" "Yes!" Head nurse Yu said, "Ma Xiaozhong and Secretary Hou were just taken away by the police. A student named Bai Baiyu came to see Chen Dan, and I think he should still be in room 112." Si Miao was taken aback, and Xiang Ming's expression changed suddenly, and said, "I'll go to room 112 to see." Going out, bypassing the ladder and entering the glass door, when approaching room 112, I felt something was wrong under my feet, I squatted down to have a look, thought for a while, turned back to the nurse's lounge and asked: "Head nurse Yu, is there a doctor in room 112?" Why is there a large piece of rubbish near the door?" The head nurse Yu thought for a while and frowned: "When Ma Xiaozhong dragged Secretary Hou out of room 112, he happened to bump into Xiao Qiao who came to give Chen Dan an infusion. The two bottles of liquid medicine I took were smashed on the ground, and I asked Pan Xiuli to clean them up, she must have been afraid of approaching room 112, so she never cleaned it up." "Afraid of approaching room 112?" Xiang Ming felt very strange, "Why? The head nurse said, "Before Secretary Hou came, there was a tall, thin girl with a red nose and a slightly protruding mouth who came to see Chen Dan and played a very weird song on the CD player next to the bed. Music. It happened that Pan Xiuli went into the house to sweep the floor, she was frightened, and reported to me that I drove that girl away." Liu Simiao remembered: "From the appearance, it seems to be the girl named Chen Dan who lives in the same dormitory as her. A girl named Xi Ning. Hu Yang, who is repairing the camera outside, is his boyfriend and had an affair with Chen Dan, so Xi Ning hates Chen Dan to death."

"Weird music?" Lin Xiangming asked, "What kind of music?" "I don't know, Pan Xiuli said it was very scary. When I went in, the music had stopped. After I drove Xi Ning away, I found Chen Dan's face It was full of tears, I turned on the CD player and looked at the disc, it seemed to be called "Black Sunday"..." "Ah..." Si Miao couldn't help but let out a soft cry.Xiang Ming remembered that when he first visited Chen Dan's dormitory, he found that disc, a world-famous forbidden song, which was said to have caused more than 100 people to commit suicide: "Si Miao, what's wrong with you?" "That song The song, when I was in the United States, I was alone in the apartment, and I listened to it many times in the evening, and the crows on the windowsill could never be driven away..." Si Miao said, tears welled up in her eyes, her The trembling and desolate singing voice could not help echoing in my ears: "deathisnodream, forindeathi'mcaressingyou..." (lyric: death is not a dream, because I caress you in death) at this moment, suddenly, there was a scream The scream is shrill! I don’t know which room it came from, and then there was a series of abnormally rapid footsteps in the corridor, from far to near, and there was a "clang" sound as if something had been knocked down in the middle. He scolded angrily, and then the sound of footsteps quickly disappeared, seemingly disappearing outside the building. "Si Miao, go to the door of the building to see what's going on. I'll go and see Chen Dan." Xiangming said as she walked out of the nurses' lounge, only to see Hu Yang standing in front of the glass door and yelling, the ladder fell to the ground, obviously It was the person who rushed out from the corridor just now, and when he passed through the glass door, he and the ladder were knocked over together.Hu Yanyun and head nurse Yu followed Lin Xiangming and walked towards room 112.There is only one teacher Wu Jia left in the room.The sky was overcast and the room was dark, so I couldn't see his expression clearly.Xiang Ming walked into room 112, and the sight in front of him shocked him: in the dark room, Chen Dan was moving his body crazily on the hospital bed, like a fish just caught from the river, his eyes were so round that they were about to burst. , the light of horror and despair radiated from it, the teeth sometimes gritted, sometimes opened, and there was a whimpering sound from the throat, and the quilt covering the chest was torn apart by the wound due to the violent struggle The oozing blood was stained red! "Hurry up and save people!" Lin Xiangming shouted to the head nurse Yu and Hu Yanyun who followed, "Also, turn on the lights!"

light is on.Head nurse Yu rushed out and brought a sedative to inject Chen Dan. Chen Dan's arm kept twisting, and Xiang Ming and Hu Yanyun held it down with difficulty.The needle was pierced into the blue, slender blood vessel, and the liquid medicine was slowly injected into Chen Dan's body. After about two minutes, Chen Dan fell into a drowsy sleep like a deer that had run out of blood.Under the pale light, pale faces.Outside the window, it was as dark as midnight.There was a gust of wind, and the sound of tree branches hitting the glass hit the ears. Everyone felt the pain on their skin as if they were being whipped.Xiang Tea wiped the sweat off her brow: "What... what's going on?" Hu Yanyun was dumbfounded.Liu Simiao ran in, gasped and said, "I didn't catch the person who ran out." At this moment, the cell phone in Xiangming's trousers pocket rang, and when he answered, Zhou Jinchen's voice came out: "Captain Lin, the director is looking for You are in a hurry, come back right away." Xiang Ming shook her head helplessly, looked at Chen Dan, and said to Hu Yanyun and Liu Simiao: "The director asked me to go back to the bureau immediately, and Chen Dan will leave it to you first. Find the man who ran out, and only he can tell us—what happened just now!" Back in the bureau, hurried into the director's office.Xu Ruilong stood solemnly in front of the bookcase with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. On the sofa next to him sat a man with gold-rimmed glasses and an expressionless face. It was Secretary Gao.Xiang Ming saluted Xu Ruilong first, and then nodded to Secretary Gao. Secretary Gao ignored it as if he didn't see it, and continued to say to Xu Ruilong: "Do you execute the order from above?" "It's not me If you don't execute it, how do you ask me to execute it?" Director Xu said, "Such an order is simply too..." "Too much?" Secretary Gao grinned grimly, "Although Lin Xiangming solved a series of murder cases, merit is merit, and failure Yes, he offended Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu reported it to the higher-ups, who demanded that he be dismissed. This order must be implemented immediately. Otherwise, Mr. Xu will refuse to participate in the completion ceremony of the first phase of the No. 20 subway line held at the Huamao subway station the day after tomorrow. It was spread that the Chinese government is cracking down on private entrepreneurs, can you bear the impact?!" No matter how well-bred Lin Xiangming is, his expression changed at this moment, and he said sternly to Secretary Gao: "You, you are not allowed to talk to our director-general. Talk like that!"

Seeing his fire-breathing eyes, Secretary Gao couldn't help taking half a step back.At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and the little old man Li Sanduo walked in with a smile on his face: "Hey, you can hear your shouts through the door, are you going to perform a martial arts show? Xiao Linzi, I really don't believe you can fight well!" Secretary Gao, if you don’t believe me, let’s try it?” Then, he took out a crumpled ten yuan bill from his pocket and slapped it on the table: “If you can beat Secretary Gao to the ground within a hundred punches, I will The huge sum of money will belong to you, and you will not be deceived!" Secretary Gao was terrified, and he stammered: "Secretary Li, you...don't be joking, I can't stand a punch from Police Officer Lin..." Li San Duo winked at Lin Xiangming and said, "Hmph! Xiao Linzi, Secretary Gao pleaded for you, so I'll let you go. However, Secretary Gao is right. You are powerful, if you find any evidence that he has the slightest connection with the case, that’s fine; but if you don’t find anything, you dare to search his home, it’s simply looking for death! Removing you is considered light.” Xiangming is so smart. I know that Li Sanduo's implication is that as long as he can produce real evidence of Xu Cheng's involvement in the case, he can avoid being dismissed, but that day he went to the No. 2 mansion just to find evidence, but found nothing—Li Sanduo didn't understand An inside story.Seeing that Xiang Ming was silent, Li Sanduo thought that he didn't understand what he meant, and was a little angry: "Xiang Ming, I give you a day to show the evidence, or you will be dismissed. Secretary Gao, what do you think?" ?” Xiang Ming secretly groaned inwardly.Secretary Gao didn't dare to refute Li Sanduo's face, so he put the leather bag under his armpit: "Okay, Secretary Li, I will do as you say, if you can't produce evidence tomorrow, hehe." He laughed twice, out of the office. "Xiangming, why are you so stupid, you can't go downhill?" Li Sanduo said.Lin Xiangming poured out the bitterness in his heart, and Li Sanduo was also dumbfounded: "You boy, you really don't want to poke the hornet's nest in No. 2 Mansion without evidence, right?" There are traces of Charlie O's ring on Ni's finger. After a detailed investigation, we found out that the ring was given to her by Xu Cheng, but she fell out of favor and threatened to expose Xu Cheng's background. Killed her. A nightclub lady told us that two hours before Fanny’s death, Xu Cheng’s subordinate Wang Jun picked up Fanny from the nightclub. I think that if the video of Fanny leaving the nightclub on June 15th and All the videos of her entering Mansion No. 2 were found, forming a time chain, which is the most direct evidence against Xu Cheng's murder of Fanny. Unexpectedly, the video of Fanny leaving the nightclub was found, but the video of her entering Mansion No. 2 was not found video……"

"Didn't you ever think that Xu Cheng may have asked his subordinates to take Fanny to another place for murder, and never entered Mansion No. 2 at all?" Li Sanduo asked.Lin Xiangming said honestly: "Si Miao reminded me of this at the time, but I still decided to take the risk because, because..." His "because" didn't go on, but both Li Sanduo and Xu Ruilong understood—because The successive homicides at that time put tremendous pressure on Xiangming and even the entire city's public security system. No matter the No. 1 suspect or the No. 2 murderer, the key was to catch one as soon as possible.Li Sanduo thought for a while, smiled again, and patted Xiangming on the shoulder: "Xiao Linzi, don't be discouraged, didn't I buy you a day? Find a way to get Xu Cheng's shitty case involved Find out the evidence! Don't be dejected, cheer up, I'll be the host of the director tonight, and hold a celebration banquet for your special case team!" Lin Xiangming shook her head lightly, and cast her eyes out of the window: the dark clouds all over the sky are heavy It was like a mountain about to fall, about to smash the trembling, desolate world below into powder in an instant.At this moment, in Renji Hospital.Head nurse Yu looked at the gradually weakening amplitude on the ECG monitor beside Chen Dan's hospital bed, lifted the quilt to look at Chen Dan's wound, and couldn't help but yelled "No!" "What's wrong?" Liu Simiao ask. "Just now she was struggling too violently, the bleeding from the wound was very heavy, and her life was in danger!" Head nurse Yu said, "It must be transferred to the ICU (intensive care unit) immediately!" The room was transferred to the ICU, and the doctor was called to call for first aid.Liu Simiao also followed out.Only Hu Yanyun stood still blankly, his eyes slowly scanned the room: ECG monitor, infusion stand, two large bouquets of flowers wrapped in cellophane placed side by side on the bedside table on the left, and the bedside table on the right The green, apple-shaped CD player on the screen used to look very cute, but now under the fluorescent light, it looks a little evil for some reason. "Why are you still standing here?" Head nurse Yu suddenly walked in and turned off the light.The sudden darkness, like a basin of cold water pouring on his head, woke Hu Yanyun from his numb state: "Chen Dan, is she really dangerous?" Head nurse Yu said sadly: "She, it looks like she might live But tonight..."

"Oh." Hu Yanyun walked out of room 112 slowly, and the head nurse Yu who followed behind him closed the door smoothly.Head nurse Yu, nurse Xiao Qiao and the emergency doctor walked into the ICU.Liu Simiao and Hu Yanyun stood at the door.Teacher Wu Jia leaned against a wall not far away, rubbing her toes on the ground frequently.Hu Yang climbed up the re-established ladder and went on to repair his video camera.After a while, Pan Xiuli came, with a dustpan in her left hand and a broom in her right, sweeping the muck with her lips pursed.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the glass door, and Ma smiled and grabbed Bai Tianyu's neck and walked in, shouting loudly: "You bastard, to be honest, why are you running?!" Bai Baiyu's face was pale and drooping. He kept his head silent, like a plague chicken. "I went to the police station to explain the matter, and then I came out." Ma said to Liu Simiao with a smile, "When I returned to the hospital, I saw this bastard running out like crazy at the gate, and he didn't stop calling him. I chased him. I went up and caught him back—did he do something shameful?" Bai Baiyu closed his eyes, but still didn't speak.Liu Simiao stepped forward, took Ma Xiaozhong's hand away from Bai Baiyu's collar, and then asked gently and with a hint of sternness: "Bai Baiyu, did you run out of this building just now?" That's him!" Hu Yang stood on the ladder and shouted, "He knocked down my ladder and almost killed me!" "Shut up!" Liu Simiao said to Hu Yang harshly, and then asked Bai Tian Yu: "Be honest, what's going on?" "I...I..." During the day, Yu's face was dripping with tears and snot, "I sat next to her, her eyes were open, and the room was dark. Terrible, when I looked up, I saw outside the window that there was, there was..." "What?" Liu Simiao's hairs stood on end, and his voice trembled when he asked. "There is a face..." Bai Baiyu said, "Chen Dan must have seen that face too, it was a very ugly person, his face was pressed against the glass and he looked into the room, I screamed in fright, and then I saw Chen Dan and her... Her expression was terribly terrified, terribly terrified!" In the quiet corridor, Bai Tianyu's shrill, trembling voice was stretched more and more like a bowstring around his neck. Everyone has a deadly sense of suffocation.Liu Simiao ran out of the building, turned a corner, came to the window of room 112, observed carefully, asked a gardener who was watering the lawn nearby, and returned to the small white building.

"How is it?" Ma asked with a smile. "Bai Tianyu didn't lie." Liu Simiao said, "There are clear footprints under the window of room 112, and it's very new. A gardener said that he just saw someone running all the way and slipping away from the back door of the hospital." "This Who is the person?" Ma asked with a smile. "I don't know." Liu Simiao shook his head, "I've already taken that footprint, it doesn't seem to be Jia Kui's." Ma scratched his hair with a smile: "Why do I feel like my mind is in a mess." At this time, head nurse Yu Walking out of the ICU with the doctor, Liu Simiao immediately stepped forward: "Chen Dan, is she out of danger?" The doctor nodded, then shook his head: "Her condition can only be said to be stable for the time being, and needs to be continued." Observe." "Head nurse Yu, when will the self-care platform for paralyzed patients you mentioned be ready?" Liu Simiao asked anxiously.Head nurse Yu said: "It should be easy to transport the platform from the rehabilitation department, but Chen Dan may fall into a long-term coma again in his current state." As long as Dan wakes up, she will use this platform immediately and ask her to provide us with clues to the case, and if it continues, once something happens to Chen Dan, we will never be able to catch her murderer!" "The platform..." Ma Xiaozhong was puzzled, "What platform?" In an instant, Liu Simiao seemed to hear a thunderbolt! It woke her up and stunned her! A few meters away, Populus euphratica, Bai Baiyu, Wu Jia... These people who have a complicated relationship with the case are nearby, and in my desperation, I even let Chen Dan provide important clues by using the platform. So stupid! She hated herself.Now I can only hope that these people are as ignorant as Ma Xiaozhong, unable to tell the truth—but, can they really not guess?At this time, Nurse Xiao Qiao also came out of the ICU: "Doctor, if it is really impossible, let Chen Dan use that bottle of β-glucan intravenous nutrition solution." The doctor thought for a while and said, "That bottle of nutrition solution is very It is precious, it is out of stock in the whole city, and our hospital only has one bottle... However, β-glucan can quickly restore the ability of lymphocytes in the injured body to produce cytokines, fully stimulate the body's immune system, and should be able to reverse the aging process. Dan’s crisis. How about this, you inject Chen Dan with that bottle of nutrient solution at 12 o’clock in the evening, slow down the drip, let her have a good rest, and come back tomorrow morning to pull out the needle.” "Xiao Qiao, you have to work hard tonight." Head nurse Yu said, "Take care of Chen Dan." Xiao Qiao nodded.Wu Jia said to Liu Simiao: "Officer Liu, can I take Bai Baiyu away?" Liu Simiao nodded.Hu Yang also slowly climbed down from the ladder: "Finally it's repaired. The camera is fine, but the audio recording system is not working well." In a blink of an eye, they all left Xiaobailou.Liu Simiao raised his head, looked at the black surveillance camera, sneered, and said to Ma with a smile: "Didn't the policeman on duty here be taken away with you to testify? Where is he now?" "I Here!" A young policeman in uniform stepped forward and saluted Liu Simiao.It turned out that he came back with Ma Xiaozhong, and just now he was standing against the wall outside the glass door, and no one saw him.This young man named Fengqi is very handsome, with a serious look on his brows.Liu Simiao nodded: "You are on duty here tonight, right?" "Yes." Feng Qi said. "You stay here, and you are not allowed to leave for a moment. No stranger can be put in this glass door for half a step, you understand?" Liu Simiao said seriously. "Yes!" Fonchi replied loudly.Only then did Liu Simiao walk out of Xiaobailou together with Ma Xiaozhong and Hu Yanyun.Outside, the sky was overcast and hazy, but it was extremely sultry, making one feel like being trapped in a swamp, and the whole body was sticky and dry.Ma Xiaozhong asked: "Where are we going now?" Liu Simiao said: "It's getting late, let's go back to the bureau to attend the celebration party." " Hu Yanyun said, "Congratulate Xiangming on my behalf." After speaking, he left. "Monster." Si Miao looked at his back and said unhappily. "Damn weather, it's overcast like this grandma, it's not raining yet, do you want to suffocate me to death!" Ma laughed, looking at the dark clouds above his head, and cursed viciously.In the dark, she felt the bone.On the cold bones, there were some sticky things, and some fluffy objects, like... She was trembling all over.It's blood, and unshaven flesh... Oh my God! Screams—she thought very much, now, nothing can express the great panic in her heart like screams! But she dared not, if that The devil beckons... Who is the devil?Watching her mother being killed by her stepfather without saying a word, killing all the innocence and beauty of her youth with her own hands, unscrupulously playing with her own body and the hearts of others, and finally turning into a woman who lost her right breast... Who is the devil?I.I am the devil.I... I'm only 21 and I don't want to die yet.But I don't want to live anymore.This world is so painful.A suffocating night without end.To live is to be more desperate.I have been imprisoned in this dark cave for too long, the hot blood and hot tears have dried up, and finally there are only cold bones and some unshaved flesh left.No one can save a skeleton, and if it is saved, it will be a ghost that continues to harm people.Perhaps, only death is the liberation.So, thank you, help me out.Thank you... a night of dark clouds, but not a drop of rain.At six o'clock in the morning, Pan Xiuli, who was sleeping on the second floor of Xiaobai Building, was woken up by the heat. She yawned and walked downstairs step by step, beads of sweat hung on her white and fat shoulders.When passing through the glass door, Fonchi, the policeman on duty who was sitting on a chair with black eye circles from not sleeping all night, nodded to her.She walked into the ICU, it was so quiet.Chen Dan was still lying on the hospital bed and fell asleep. "Click"... With a very soft sound, Pan Xiuli was startled by her footsteps, what's wrong?She looked down and saw a lot of broken glass on the ground, what is this?Could it be that the window was broken by the strong wind last night?But the windows are tightly shut.Huh?Among the broken glass on the ground, a soft tube stretched upwards to Chen Dan's snow-white arm, ending at a needle.The IV pole was empty.It turned out that the infusion bottle was broken.Who did it?Pan Xiuli went to the bathroom to get a dustpan and a broom, swept the broken glass into the dustpan, and wiped the floor clean with a mop dipped in water.When she was almost done, Nurse Xiao Qiao came to the door of the ICU rubbing her sleepy eyes: "Xiao Pan, what's wrong?" "I don't know who broke the infusion bottle." Pan Xiuli muttered. "Oh?" Nurse Xiao Qiao was very surprised. She walked to the side of the hospital bed, looked at the already clean ground, and slowly cast her blank gaze on Chen Dan's face. She slept so peacefully.She slept too peacefully.The morning light shone through the window, leaving a shadow on Chen Dan's temples, which looked like a fish whose scales had been stripped off.Hair like blood.Nurse Xiao Qiao lowered her head, looked carefully at Chen Dan, and then exhausted all her strength and let out a horrible scream! Half an hour later, a large number of policemen gathered inside and outside Xiaobailou. In the ICU, there are only two people, Lei Rong and Liu Simiao, one is doing the autopsy and the other is investigating the scene. "The cause of death?" Liu Simiao asked. “窒息。”蕾蓉阴郁地说，“牙龈呈粉红色的出血现象，鼻腔里发现絮状物，经过检验，是这个上面的。”她指了指陈丹的枕头。 “也就是说——”思缈声音冰冷，“谋杀？”“谋杀。”蕾蓉肯定地说，“用枕头捂死的。”“死亡时间呢？”蕾蓉说:“大约在12点到1点之间。”“现场完全被破坏掉了!”刘思缈愤愤地说，“β-葡聚糖本来是一种黏附性很强的物质，可是一遇到超过稀释所需剂量的水，就容易分解，偏偏潘秀丽这个笨蛋把地给擦了!”蕾蓉长叹一声，走出了icu病房。门外，林香茗呆呆地靠在墙上，像美术室里一尊残缺的希腊雕像。 “她……死得痛苦吗？”香茗问。蕾蓉摇了摇头。犹如悲伤的闸门被打开，一瞬间，香茗的眼中泛起了泪光。旁边，马笑中趴在墙上，呜呜地哭得像个孩子一样，肩膀一抖一抖的。还有一个呼延云，靠着墙坐在地上，神情漠然，形同槁木。昨天一天在报社写稿子，没有参加庆功会的郭小芬，得知陈丹的死讯后，迅速赶来，详细问过林香茗、刘思缈、于护士长等人昨天下午在这里发生的事情，此刻正在仔仔细细、上上下下地观察那两扇玻璃门。香茗使劲吞咽了几下，才控制住情绪，分别问了小乔和值班警察丰奇，昨天夜里有没有离岗。也真的是无巧不成书，小乔12点整给陈丹挂上β-葡聚糖吊瓶后，就出医院去吃夜宵，为此还专门告诉丰奇，她将在12点半左右回来。而恰恰就在12点半刚过，丰奇接到了一个奇怪的电话，自称是市公安局刑侦总队的，有重要的案情需要向他了解，请他到医院后门来一趟。丰奇想想小乔马上就回来了，于是便到医院后门去了，见到一个个子不高，头发和胡子都黄黄的人，问了他许多关于陈丹的问题。 “这人根本不像个警察!”丰奇警惕地回问了几个关于刑侦总队的问题，那个家伙回答不出，匆匆溜掉了。丰奇回小白楼的时间大约是12点40分，见到小乔，打了个招呼，小乔就回护士休息室睡觉去了——居然把陈丹挂着吊瓶输液的事情忘了个精光，一直都没想起去给她拔掉针头。 “那你具体是什么时间回小白楼的？”林香茗问小乔。小乔害怕极了:“就在丰奇回来前大约1分钟左右吧。”香茗盯着她:“你讲的是不是真话，我们很快就能知道。”确认案情的重要线索，现在统统集聚到了玻璃门上面的那台监控摄像机上。就近，在小白楼二层的多功能厅，林香茗、蕾蓉、刘思缈、马笑中、林凤冲、郭小芬和呼延云聚集在一起，把摄像机连线到液晶电视上。“但愿昨天胡杨真的修好了摄像机。”刘思缈说。摄像机确实修好了。由于摄像头对着进门的方向，加之摆放角度的关系，拍摄的图像大约在玻璃门外面的五米范围以内。开始播放了，图像右上角显示着拍摄时间。起初一切都很正常，在12点02分，小乔匆匆走出了玻璃门。12点31分，丰奇也出去了。紧接着，离奇的一幕出现了。12点33分，昏黄的楼道灯光照射下，一个戴着橡胶手套、口罩和医生帽，穿着白大褂，脚上套着蓝色布制鞋套的人走进了玻璃门，大约2分钟以后，他又走出了玻璃门。他走得比较快，在摄像机内留下的影像一闪而过。像个鬼似的。“我怎么听不到任何声音？”郭小芬问。“昨天那个修摄像机的胡杨临走时说了，只修复了拍摄功能，音频录制系统还是不大好。”刘思缈说。12点39分，小乔急匆匆地回来了。1分钟以后，丰奇也回来了。“看来，那个在12点33分到12点35分出入于小白楼的、打扮成医生模样的人，很可能就是凶手!”林香茗说，“你们不觉得太巧合了吗？恰恰在这12点31分到12点39分这8分钟时间里，小白楼出现了短暂的空白期，小乔有事出去了，丰奇被人叫走了，而就在这短短8分钟的时间里，凶手毫无阻挡地进来，杀人!”他停顿了一下对林凤冲说:“你马上去调查清楚，小乔昨天到底去哪里吃夜宵了!还有，把丰奇叫到医院后门的那个人究竟是谁!” “好的。”林凤冲走出了多功能厅。香茗走到呼延云身边:“呼延，你，有没有什么想法？”“昨天晚上，我酒喝多了，现在头很疼很疼。”呼延云耷拉着眼皮。香茗手足无措地站在他身边，紧紧地咬着嘴唇。“时间长了点。”郭小芬把12点33分到12点35分那段“医生”出入的录像放了好几遍，看了又看，突然说。大家不约而同地看着她，都很困惑。“蕾蓉姐，机械性窒息，死亡需要多长时间？”郭小芬问。“一般情况下，气道完全阻塞造成不能呼吸只要1分钟，心跳就会停止，如果不及时抢救，必然导致死亡。”蕾蓉说，“像陈丹这样本来身体就有重伤的人，遭遇窒息，生存时间恐怕还要短一些。”“凶手用1分钟杀死陈丹，剩下那1分钟他留在楼里做什么？”郭小芬沉思了片刻，眼睛突然一亮，“思缈，除了icu，今天早晨，这座楼一层玻璃门以内的其他房间，有没有人进入过？”刘思缈说:“我们赶到这里后，迅速对玻璃门以内的楼道实施了封锁，除了icu和洗手间——潘秀丽去涮过墩布以外，其他房间应该都没有人进入过。”“太好了!”郭小芬狡黠地笑了，“你现在去将一层玻璃门内所有房间的外把手，都提取一下指纹。”她居然敢给我下命令!刘思缈一时间火冒三丈，但考虑到这是在办案，不是赌气的时候，忍下这口气，亲自拿着软质毛刷和细铝粉下了楼，在玻璃门以内楼道的每个房间的圆形外把手上提取指纹。过了大约半个小时，刘思缈上楼来。郭小芬问:“提取完指纹啦，什么结果？”刘思缈没好气地说:“除了两个房间的外把手外，其他的把手上，都落满了指纹和掌纹，根本无法搞清是谁留下的……”“你说'除了两个房间的把手'!”郭小芬说，“分别是哪个房间？把手上留下了谁的指纹？”刘思缈说:“一个是icu病房，把手上只有潘秀丽一个人的指纹和掌纹。” “还有一个呢？”郭小芬焦急地问，两眼放光。刘思缈奇怪她为什么突然变得这样兴奋:“还有一个是112房间，把手上没有指纹和掌纹……”呼!郭小芬从椅子上跳了起来，直向楼下冲去，跑进112房间，又跑了出来，对于护士长说:“快，给我一副橡胶手套!”于护士长莫名其妙地把一副橡胶手套递给她。郭小芬戴上手套，来到左边床头柜前，两大束用玻璃纸包着的鲜花(有些已经蔫了)依旧摆在上面。她拿起一束，用手指仔细抚摸每一朵的花瓣和花茎。很久，摇摇头，放下。再拿起一束，依旧细细地抚摸每一朵的花瓣和花茎，很久，然而摇摇头，又放下了。她的身后，林香茗、蕾蓉、刘思缈、马笑中和呼延云都静静地站着，看她那古怪得不能再古怪的举动。她把手套摘下，重新抚摸，第一束，没有她想要的，放下的一刻，她的脸上浮起一丝失望。第二束。她抚摸得很慢，很慢，指尖一点点地在花茎上擦过，仿佛母亲抚摸婴儿细嫩的小腿。……停!就是这朵!就在这里!她把花抽出，是朵马蹄莲，雪白的马蹄莲。“你发现什么了？”刘思缈问。郭小芬回过头，嘴唇坚定地翘起:“我已经知道凶手是谁了，下面，我将用推理来揭开事情的真相!”
