Li Hua is indeed a smart man. He knew from the nurse's answer that he was totally wrong. But I still reached out to stop him from continuing and said, "Don't forget the gentleman's agreement. I didn't say a word when you said that before."
Li Hua was completely panicked at this time. He clenched his fists, looked at me unwillingly, then snorted coldly and turned his head away, seeming to be angry with me.
At this moment, everyone present, except Li Hua, looked confused. Obviously, they didn't know how important the question I asked was. Of course, there was one exception, that was Yuan Hao who was hiding behind Officer Yang.
Seeing that Li Hua stopped interrupting, I continued to ask, "I have another question. You once said that you are timid and dare not enter the morgue. Is this true?"
The young nurse nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't lie about this."
"That's strange. Since you didn't dare to enter the morgue, how did you know that your sister's body was molested? And how did you find out that the two dead people might have molested your sister's body?"
Hearing my question, the young nurse lowered her head and said, "It was discovered by the security guard while he was cleaning. It was also the security guard who provided me with the clues that made me realize it was done by those two beasts."
When the nurse said this, Li Hua was already a little unsteady on his feet, and I continued to ask: "One last question, can you tell me the specific circumstances of the death of the first deceased?"
The young nurse obviously didn't understand why I asked this, but she still said, "I tricked him to the door of the morgue late at night, and hit him on the head with a hammer the moment he was about to open the door. It was my first time killing someone, so I didn't dare to use too much force. He didn't die after the hit, so I had to stab him with the scalpel in my hand until he fell to the ground and didn't move. Then I pushed his body through the door into the morgue and fled in a hurry."
"That is to say, you never actually entered the morgue from beginning to end, right? And the marks on the deceased's neck were not caused by you, right?"
The young nurse nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't strangle him. At that time, they said there were marks on his neck. I always thought that it was caused by my sister's spirit who refused to let him go, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But it was definitely not caused by me."
After asking these questions, I looked up and said, "I think everyone has heard the answer of the little nurse just now. Now it seems that there are actually three victims of this murder case. The third person is the little nurse in front of us."
Officer Yang was still confused and asked, "Hasn't she already admitted her crime? How come she has become a victim now?"
"Officer Yang, think about it carefully. If she hadn't learned that her sister's body had been molested, would she have taken such an extreme action? And how do you explain the marks of strangulation on the neck of the first victim? Could it really have been done by the corpse in the morgue?"
Officer Yang was speechless after being asked by me. He said anxiously, "Then why don't you tell me what's going on? Can you stop keeping us in suspense?"
I pointed at the old security guard standing at the door of the room and said, "It's very simple, because there is a second murderer in this case, and that's the old security guard in front of you!"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of my finger and looked at the old security guard standing at the door. The old security guard instantly became nervous and waved his hands hastily, saying, "It's not me. I didn't kill anyone. Don't accuse me."
I was waiting for this moment. When the old security guard waved his hand, others might not have noticed, but Li Hua at the side suddenly widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "So that's how it is, Ji Wen, when did you know?"
I turned around and smiled, "I just found out when I went to see him this afternoon. Everyone, please look carefully at the security guard's right hand."
Officer Yang looked at it and said, "Six fingers? So this old man has six fingers, but what does this have to do with your speculation?"
Seeing that Officer Yang still didn't understand, I couldn't help but shake my head. I thought to myself, if only Officer Yang could be as smart as Li Hua, I wouldn't have to work so hard to talk to him.
"It's very simple. We all thought that the long strip of mark on the first victim's neck was from the bracelet worn by the nurse. But if you look carefully, you can guess that it's not the case, because the nurse's bracelet is worn on her left hand, but the long strip of mark is on her right hand. So, the chances of the nurse strangling the first victim are greatly reduced. However, this old man has six fingers on his right hand, and when I saw him holding a water cup in the guard room today, his sixth finger couldn't bend at all. In other words, if he strangled the first victim, there would definitely be a long strip of mark left, because that mark was caused by the sixth finger."
I didn't wait for the old security guard to explain and continued, "According to this statement, everything makes sense. This young nurse is obviously not a murderer. No matter what arrangements she made, they all seemed very unfamiliar, so this case seems relatively simple. But if this old man is the real murderer hiding behind the scenes, then this case will be much more interesting."
"The one who really wanted to kill the two dead was actually this old man in front of us. He took advantage of the relationship between the young nurse and Li Li, deliberately fabricated the story that Li Li's body was molested, and then pretended to tell the young nurse casually, making the young nurse hate the two dead people, thus achieving his goal of killing someone with a borrowed knife. Even if he is investigated at that time, the young nurse will confess to the murder herself, and no one will doubt him."
At this point, I looked at the panicked old man and said, "Every time the little nurse killed someone, you should have been peeking nearby, right? Otherwise, how did you know that the first victim was not dead at all? When the little nurse left, you secretly returned to the morgue and strangled the first victim who was still breathing to death? I don't know if you admit what I said or not?"
"Why should I admit it? What evidence do you have?" The old man still refused to admit his crime and said cunningly.
I shook my head helplessly and said, "That pinch mark is so special. I think you can see it if you compare it with your hands now. The pinch mark is absolutely consistent with your hands, including your sixth finger. And I think you must have chosen to help the nurse in a hurry. At that time, you should not have worn gloves, right? A person without gloves will definitely leave fingerprints. Do you want to extract the fingerprints for comparison?"
After I said this, Officer Yang was stunned at first, then turned to look at the new forensic doctor Yuan Hao behind him, as if he wanted Yuan Hao to give him an explanation.
When Yuan Hao saw Officer Yang looking at him, he immediately put on a simple smile and said, "Oh, I thought there should be no fingerprints at the time, so I didn't check it carefully and just said there were no fingerprints. If it's really as Ji Wen said, there should be fingerprints on the body."
Seeing Yuan Hao so innocent and cute, I wanted to punch him. When I met him before, he touched his neck with his hand and deliberately separated one finger, which clearly told me that he already knew who the real murderer was! And he left this clue to me. Although I don't know what he wants to do, I already know that this pretending to be innocent Yuan Hao is definitely an extremely smart person.
Officer Yang almost vomited blood when he heard Yuan Hao's explanation. He immediately asked angrily, "What on earth do you do? You even have to guess about such an important matter?"
Yuan Hao stuck out his tongue and smiled: "Forgive me, I'm still a child."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Perhaps because of Yuan Hao's innocent smile, Officer Yang did not blame Yuan Hao in the end. He just asked him to re-examine the body and make sure to extract the fingerprints from the wounds.
Faced with so much evidence, the old security guard finally couldn't hold on any longer. He lowered his head helplessly and confessed that he had hinted to the young nurse to kill and that he had strangled the first victim to death.
The old security guard usually gives people a kind and amiable impression, but there are always some people in the world who look down on honest people working at the bottom level and like to bully them to improve their own status. Unfortunately, the two victims in this case are such people.
Although doctors are all kind-hearted, the two victims in this case always liked to pick quarrels with the old security guard. Every time they parked their car or entered or exited the hospital, they liked to curse the old security guard. Although the old man always endured it, everyone has a temper, and he simply buried the hatred deep in his heart.
Finally, a few days ago, the first deceased in this case had a big quarrel with the old man over the parking space, and finally took advantage of the fact that no one was around and slapped the old man hard. This made the old man completely furious, and he told the matter to the dean, but the dean would not blame the chief surgeon for a security guard like him. The old man, who had nowhere to vent his anger, decided to retaliate against him by his own means!
Usually, the young nurse often asked the old man to help clean the morgue, and often asked him about Li Li's body. After asking, the old man found out that Li Li was the young nurse's sister. This immediately gave the old man an idea, a plan that could help him realize his revenge plan.
In fact, the old man's original plan was just to steal Li Li's body secretly, and then tell the young nurse some fabricated stories, and use the young nurse to spread rumors that the two doctors who often bullied him had molested the corpse, so as to destroy the reputation of the two doctors. But who would have thought that the young nurse's behavior would be so extreme that she would directly kill the two doctors.
The old man who had been observing secretly saw that the young nurse failed to kill the first victim. After a slight inner struggle, he decided to end his life himself, because he felt that even if the young nurse was found to be the murderer in the end, it would never be traced to him. But he never expected that after all his calculations, he still could not escape the law in the end.
The truth was finally revealed. The old security guard confessed all his crimes and the location where Li Li's body was hidden. Officer Yang looked very happy as he directed his men to take away the two suspects. Li Hua's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
I obviously won this bet. I walked up to Li Hua and said with a smile, "You have been working in the special case team for too long, so you rely too much on the forensic doctor and think that everything he says is right. In fact, if the forensic doctor could have checked it clearly at that time, he would have found fingerprints on the long strip of mark next to the pinch mark. At that time, you would have doubted everything you thought before."
"Stop talking nonsense. If I lose, I lose! I won't deny my debt! But if there is a chance next time, I will definitely not lose to you!" Li Hua snorted coldly, turned around and left the ward to an unknown place.
Since the matter was over, there was no need for me to stay any longer. After all, I had promised Zhang Qishan that I would go back early today. So I said goodbye to Officer Yang, left the ward and walked towards the exit downstairs.
Walking on the road, I couldn't help but think again of the old security guard who killed someone in revenge because he was bullied. Suddenly, I felt that honest people are not necessarily easy to bully, because we don’t know that when an honest person gets angry, we simply cannot bear his anger.
I had just reached the first floor when I suddenly saw a group of policemen at the hospital gate carrying a stretcher and walking quickly into the hospital. Upon closer inspection, I saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the stretcher, completely covered by a white sheet. What scared me was that the white sheet covering the surface had been completely soaked with blood and turned blood red.
I watched them carrying the stretcher upstairs. Although I didn't know what was going on, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
I took out my cell phone and checked the time. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, so I ignored the group of people and immediately walked out of the hospital and onto the road. I had just called a taxi, but before I could get in, the phone in my pocket rang. I took it out and saw that it was Officer Yang calling.
"Ji Wen, come back, something happened again."
