I slept for a particularly long time today. It might be because I just went through Huang Xu’s case, which consumed too many brain cells.
The reason why I choose this path is, first, because I can make more money, and second, I really like the tense feeling when solving a case, as if I am racing against time every minute and every second. The pleasure of finding the truth may be the life goal I have always pursued.
After I woke up, I habitually reached out and patted the person beside me, but found that Zhang Qishan seemed to have gotten up. I opened my eyes and found that I was the only one in the room.
It's strange. Zhang Qishan usually likes to sleep in more than me. Why did she get up so early today? What did she do
"Xiao Shan?"
I got up curiously and looked around. I found that Zhang Qishan was not in the room. I was about to take out my phone to call her and ask her what she was doing when I heard the sound of the door opening. Then Zhang Qishan, who had already packed up, opened the door and came in. Seeing that I was awake, she immediately smiled and said, "Why are you up so early today?"
"How can I get up as early as you? What have you been doing?"
I was relieved to see Zhang Qishan coming back. I don’t know if it was because of Huang Xu’s case yesterday, but I was very concerned about Zhang Qishan’s safety.
"Go buy breakfast, otherwise what will you do when you wake up hungry in the morning?" Zhang Qishan said shyly, stuck out her tongue at me, and went to the kitchen to pack up the breakfast.
I looked at Zhang Qishan's back and wondered if she was crazy today. Why was she so nice to me all of a sudden? Puzzled, I walked into the kitchen and asked, "Is it an anniversary today? Why do I feel like you've become a different person?"
Zhang Qishan said as she packed up her breakfast: "No, but it can be considered an anniversary, because you answered my questions very well last night, so I decided to treat you well in the future. Are you satisfied?"
I didn't expect her reason was this. Sometimes I really don't understand women. A simple word can make them happy for a while. But seeing her so happy, I didn't think much about it. I went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out to have breakfast with Zhang Qishan.
"What are we going to do today? I heard the temperature is going to drop today, why don't we go to the movies? You've never accompanied me to the movies before."
Zhang Qishan talked to me while eating, and I nodded and said, "Okay, I guess there's nothing to do today. Let's go to Brother Long's house to pick up Diandian first. You forgot about Diandian after just two days? Then we'll go to the movies. I heard that a movie called "Fantastic Plants and Where to Find Them" was released recently. Let's go book the tickets after we bring Diandian back."
Zhang Qishan immediately cheered and finished the breakfast in front of him in a few bites. Then he urged her to get dressed quickly and go to Bai Longfei's house first.
But before I could put on my clothes, I heard a hurried knock on the door. The knock sounded like someone's funeral announcement. Zhang Qishan and I were stunned and we forgot to open the door for a long time.
Anyone who knocks on the door like this is either here to collect debts or a reckless man. I asked Zhang Qishan to stand aside first, then walked to the door and asked, "Who is it? Doesn't this door cost money? What if it breaks?"
"It's me, open the door!"
The voice sounded familiar at first, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that the person knocking on the door was Officer Yang, who I hadn't contacted for a long time!
It's strange, why did Officer Yang come to Zhang Qishan's house to find me? What does he want to do
I opened the door with a lot of questions in my mind, and saw Officer Yang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, rushing in like a bandit and grabbing my collar. I was so scared that I quickly stepped back and said, "Officer Yang, let's talk nicely. When did I offend you? Don't hit someone in the face. Hitting the face hurts your self-esteem!"
Officer Yang said with a little emotion: "What happened to you these days? Why can't I contact you? Do you know how long I have been looking for you? I couldn't get through on the phone, and when I went to your house, you found that you had moved. I finally found Bai Longfei, but he said you went to Yinchuan. Today I finally found you."
When I heard what Officer Yang said, I couldn't help but laugh. I had blocked his phone number, so it would be strange if he could find me. Couldn't he just call me from another phone number
But what he said proved that he was not here to beat me up. It seemed that he didn't know that I had blocked him, so I breathed a sigh of relief, took away Officer Yang's hands that were grabbing my collar, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and then handed one to Officer Yang and said, "What do you want from me?"
Before Officer Yang could speak, I saw Zhang Qishan standing next to me glaring at me. I understood what she meant. She thought I was too nice to Officer Yang. But there was nothing I could do. Although I held grudges, I didn't have any deep hatred with Officer Yang, so there was no need to be so cold.
Officer Yang sighed, "Of course something has happened! Recently, a very strange murder case has occurred in the city hospital. We have been busy these days, but we can't find any clues. Now the family of the deceased has begun to cause trouble for us and the city hospital. If we don't deal with it, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position as director!"
From Officer Yang's tone, I knew this matter was indeed very serious. I was very interested in the bizarre murder case he mentioned, so I immediately asked for details. But at this time, Zhang Qishan coughed lightly, interrupted me, and said to Officer Yang: "Officer Yang, what do you think of our Ji Wen? Is he your tool? You are so attentive when you use him, but so indifferent when you don't need him. Officer Yang, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to do this, right?"
Officer Yang realized at this time that Zhang Qishan was also in the room. Since he could find this place, he naturally knew the relationship between Zhang Qishan and me. At the same time, he seemed to understand the meaning of Zhang Qishan's words. He sighed and said, "Ji Wen, haven't you understood me after all this time? I am like this. I can't hide anything I encounter. It will all show on my face. I know that my bad attitude last time disappointed you. You can vent your grievances to me, but this time it is a serious matter. Whether I become the director or not is a small matter, but if it affects the reputation of the municipal hospital, it will delay many important things. You must help me."
In fact, I also understand that what Officer Yang said came from the bottom of his heart, and he also apologized to me. Naturally, I am not so petty, so I nodded and was ready to agree. But my not being petty does not mean that Zhang Qishan is not petty.
"But don't you think that the people in your Binhe Police Station are better than Ji Wen? Why would you ask Ji Wen to do something like this?"
Faced with Zhang Qishan's repeated questioning, Officer Yang was not angry. Instead, he said with a bitter face: "My dear little aunt, please don't argue with me, okay? You know that compared with Ji Wen, my men are just pig-brains. If my men were as smart as Ji Wen, I would have no more worries."
Hearing what Officer Yang said, Zhang Qishan, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, I hurriedly asked, "Officer Yang, can you tell me the details?"
Without Zhang Qishan's interruption, Officer Yang told me what had happened.
The incident happened about five days ago. That morning, he received a report that a body was missing from the city hospital morgue. Officer Yang did not think it was a big deal and just sent someone to investigate. But who would have known that this small case that he ignored would turn into a big case.
Originally, the police officers who were investigating this matter had already started investigating, but who would have thought that the next morning, before Officer Yang woke up, he received a call from his subordinate, the police officer in charge of investigating the case of the body thrown in the morgue, saying that a murder had occurred in the morgue where the body was thrown!
When Officer Yang rushed to the scene, he found out that the deceased was a doctor at the municipal hospital. There were many small scars on his body, as if he had been cut with a knife. There was a bloody hole on the back of his head with the blood already dried up, which must have been caused by a blunt object. There was also an obvious mark of strangulation on his neck, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open.
On the surface, the cause of death of the deceased should be a blunt object hitting the back of the head, but the new forensic doctor said after the examination that the real cause of death of the deceased was strangulation, and the deceased must have been abused before his death!
Officer Yang had seen many cases and corpses. When he saw the expression of the deceased, he immediately concluded that the deceased must have seen something incredible before his death, which was why he had such a hideous expression. As for what he had seen, he didn't know.
Unfortunately, as the municipal hospital had just been renovated, only the monitoring equipment in the elevator was operational, and the lines of other monitoring equipment had not yet been connected. This made it even more difficult to determine the case.
Although the case was somewhat complicated, Officer Yang still led people to investigate and interrogate the people who stayed in the hospital before and after the death of the deceased, recorded their statements, and investigated the identity background of the deceased, but still could not find any clues.
Hearing this, I reached out to interrupt Officer Yang and said, "Officer Yang, since you want to talk about this murder case, why do you also mention the missing body? Is there any connection between the two?"
Officer Yang actually nodded and said solemnly, "This is the weirdest part of this case, because the cause of death of the missing female corpse was that she was hit by a flower pot falling from a high altitude, causing the back of her head to shatter and die. Although the real cause of death this time was not due to the injury to the back of her head, don't you think this seems a bit coincidental?"
I immediately understood what Officer Yang meant, and raised my head and asked, "Could it be that he is faking his corpse and killing someone again?"
