The night shift was very busy. After Lu Yan took over, in addition to the elective surgeries that were not completed during the day, several night shift emergency rooms came one after another. It was nearly eleven o'clock when she sent the last surgery patient back to the ward.
After returning from the ward, she sighed wearily and went to the lounge to drink water.
In good conscience, the overwhelmed state just now made her very satisfied, because only in this way would she not always have the embarrassing scene in the afternoon in her mind. She thought she must be too horny to notice something wrong early on, but she just wouldn't wake up.
What made her puzzling was that although from the perspective of the situation at the time, it was more likely that she would pester him, but even if she took the initiative, after all, lying on the bed, how did she force a kiss to Jiang Chengyi, it is still unbelievable to this day.
Thinking of something suspicious, she bit her lower lip from time to time, holding the cup in her hand was equivalent to a fake, and she forgot to drink it for a long time.
Two colleagues also came in to drink water. Seeing Lu Yan's strange expression, they took off her mask strangely and asked her, "What's wrong with Lu Yan? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, just a little tired."
After speaking, he drank water with a calm expression.
Colleagues know that Lu Yan has always been calm and are used to her calmness, so they don't ask any more questions. After sitting down, one of them said to the other: "Did you see the head nurse rescheduled? The positions of the evening shift and the day shift are both It's changed, don't remember the wrong class."
The nurse who spoke was Li Yunjuan, and the other was Lin Lili.
Lin Lili took the water from the cup and sat down: "Well, I've seen it a long time ago. With Qianqian's accident, we have one less person to work the night shift. It used to be one night shift every nine days, but now it's one every eight days. "
Li Yunjuan sighed: "I didn't have a day shift on weekends, so I made an appointment to go to my boyfriend's parents' house, and the plane ticket was booked two weeks ago. The head nurse moved me like this, and I became a day shift on Sunday, so I could only temporarily go back to work. Change the flight time. But these are trivial things, I just don’t know when Qianqian’s case will be solved.”
Lu Yan raised her eyes to look at Li Yunjuan, remembering that she and Wang Qianqian were usually very close and had a very good relationship.
Lin Lili was silent for a while, and said angrily: "I really don't understand, who is the murderer who harmed Qianqian? Qianqian is usually indifferent to the world. Except for work, she stays at home, even when she speaks loudly. Rarely, if the murderer is a pervert, how on earth did he target Qianqian?"
"I still think her ex-boyfriend is very suspicious." Li Yunjuan held her chin and pondered, "Ever since I met Qianqian, I have always thought that she is easy to get along with, that is, during the period when her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, her emotions only changed. She became unstable, she didn’t speak all day, and she always shed tears, so the head nurse gave her two days off to let her go home to adjust her mood, so as not to affect her work.”
Lin Lili sighed: "But it's not her fault, you must know that Qianqian and her ex-boyfriend have been together for five years, and they have reached the point of talking about marriage, and this sudden appearance, with Qianqian's character, definitely unacceptable."
Li Yunjuan's brain was wide open: "But didn't Qianqian find a better boyfriend soon? I always have a guess these days, will Qianqian's scumbag ex-boyfriend feel slapped in the face and get angry However, turned around to find Qianqian, and then had a dispute with Qianqian, and killed Qianqian by mistake?"
"Have you read too many novels?" Lin Lili looked at her, "What we can think of, the detective must have thought of it long ago, and maybe the first person they suspect is Qianqian's ex-boyfriend, but it's been a few days since the incident. I haven't heard anything about Qianqian's ex-boyfriend."
Li Yunjuan's voice was muffled: "Anyway, I think something is wrong with Qianqian. Although she quickly found a new boyfriend, and this boyfriend treats her very well, I always feel that her mind is still on her ex-boyfriend. By the way. , do you remember what she wished for her birthday this year?"
"What wish?" Lin Lili leaned her head against the wall wearily. "It's been so long, I don't remember it anymore."
"Why don't you remember? We bought the cake together. Because Qianqian loves ice cream, we ordered an ice cream cake."
Lin Lili showed a stunned expression: "Oh, it seems, and we went to ktv to sing that night."
"Yes." Li Yunjuan recalled, "It was because of Qianqian's depression during that time that we decided to accompany her on her birthday. Later, when we blew out the candles, we asked her to make a wish, and she joked that she had no other wishes. I just hope that the first one can slap someone hard in the face, and the second that I can find happiness as soon as possible. If I just listen to the latter sentence, I think it is normal, but if I add the previous sentence, it is not so right. A person is not happy. What does happiness have to do with her ex-boyfriend? So I guessed at the time that she wouldn't be able to get out in a short time, and she would be stunned for a while."
Lin Lili sat up a little bit: "Isn't it normal to make a birthday wish? Qianqian may just say that casually."
"But she was really superstitious during that time." Li Yunjuan sighed obscurely, "I have done all kinds of tarot cards, Japanese pen fairy, this and that hexagram, and I even went to the Kongyin Temple in the suburbs to ask for a signature. Saying that she has time to do these things, it is better to go outside to relax more, and in the end I don't know if she has listened to it, anyway, not long after that, she went on a trip abroad and met her current boyfriend. "
Lu Yan was closing her eyes and resting. When she heard this, she remembered what she saw at the party last night, and asked curiously, "Is tarot cards very popular recently? What is the specific way of playing, has Qianqian said?"
Li Yunjuan shook her head and said, "Qianqian also seems to have heard from a classmate in her city b. That classmate has been working in city b. Once she met Qianqian, her classmate told her to log in to a female website first, and then enter her personal information. , Occupation, phone number, etc. should be filled in real and detailed, the computer will randomly draw a deck of cards belonging to you, if you draw a card that is the most difficult to draw, you can make a wish, listen to Qianqian say, that card The chance of being drawn is extremely small, and only people with very good luck can draw. And Qianqian also said that this website is very clever, and she seems to believe it very much."
"She's crazy." Lin Lili thought it was incredible, "she actually believes in this kind of nonsense? If you can achieve your wish just by playing a tarot card, everyone doesn't have to work, just play tarot cards in front of the computer. "
Just as he was talking, an assistant nurse came in: "Mr. Lin and Mr. Li, the emergency department called and said that there will be two surgeries sent over in a while."
"Got it." Lin Lili and Li Yunjuan got up and walked out.
Lu Yan put the water cup back in place and called Li Yunjuan: "Juanjuan, do you know the address of that tarot card website?"
Li Yunjuan shook her head: "Like Lily, I don't believe the nonsense on that kind of website at all, so after Qianqian told me at the time, I didn't take it to heart at all."
Lu Yan smiled, put on a mask, and entered the operating room to prepare for the operation.
When Jiang Chengyi arrived at the bureau, Lao Qin and the others just came back from outside.
"Team Jiang, Ding Jing's house and company have been searched." Xiao Zhou walked to the table and took a gulp of water, "I didn't find any similar stickers, but we found some other things, which will be delivered in a while. Go to the forensic doctor."
Jiang Chengyi was standing at the table looking through a case file. Hearing this, he looked up at Xiao Zhou in surprise.
"I really didn't find it." Lao Qin added, "Ding Jing's family, like Wang Qianqian's family, cooperated very well to solve the case, but we searched everywhere and found nothing. If this sticker is really a sign that the murderer chose the victim, Ding Jing There is no way I would know, maybe I would have thrown this thing away as garbage."
Xiao Zhou agreed and wanted to speak, his eyes fell on Jiang Chengyi's neck inadvertently, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Lao Qin noticed it long ago, but he reacted much faster than Xiao Zhou after all, so he hurriedly coughed: "Hey, Team Jiang, is this a fax from the Public Security Bureau of City B?"
Jiang Chengyi looked at the stack of documents, raised his head and said to everyone, "This is a case that happened in City B three months ago. I think it's a bit similar to the cases of Wang Qianqian and Ding Jing, so I made a report to the above and asked the person in City B to do so. Bian's classmates sent a document here, let's see what similarities these cases have."
Xiao Zhou and others gathered around: "Young women were strangled first and then thrown into a suburban reservoir. Oh, they are also nurses, and have the same profession as Wang Qianqian."
Lao Qin turned a few pages and thought: "Jiang team, when I called Dr. Yu in the morning, he thought the same as you, he thought that if it was a series of crimes, judging from Wang Qianqian's case, the murderer's modus operandi It is quite mature, that is to say, Wang Qianqian may not be the first victim. The real time of the first crime may be pushed forward a few years. He asked me to pay attention to the previous cases of female drowning in S city or throwing corpses. Even if it is different from this case, you can find out and compare it.”
Jiang Chengyi thought for a while, and said to Xiao Zhou, "Last week Lao Wang retired and distributed some unsolved old cases to us. I remember that I distributed a copy to you, take it over and take a look."
Xiao Zhou clapped his hands: "I was about to talk about it. It was the case of the wealthy businessman's wife surnamed Li, called Li Liwei, who was thirty-three years old when she was killed. She was also strangled and then thrown away, but Li Liwei's body was in the second half of the murder. It only floated up a month ago, and when I found it, it was already highly decomposed. It's not like Wang Qianqian and Ding Jing, who were intentionally floated in the lake with inflatable materials by the murderer, and were soon discovered. I think these key details are different, just I didn't think about it."
Lao Qin took the information he handed over and looked at it: "Now Team Jiang and the others are just assuming, whether it is true or not, we have to check it down. If it is a series of crimes, the case that Lao Wang gave us has already passed. After three years, how do you know that the murderer didn't want Li Liwei's body to float up three years ago? Transporting the body to the center of the lake doesn't seem difficult, but it's actually not easy at all. In my opinion, if Li Liwei's case is also brought together, the murderer probably hasn't thought much about setting up the scene in recent years."
At this time, someone said: "Team Jiang, let me make a wild guess. If these cases are really related, from a chronological point of view, the first case is Li Liwei three years ago, the second is the nurse in city B, and the third is the case. Is it Wang Qianqian, and the fourth is Ding Jing?"
Jiang Chengyi pondered and said, "First of all, these four cases are not necessarily serial crimes. Second, if they are really serial crimes, Li Liwei may not be the first victim. Lao Qin, please confirm the time of Dr. Yu's return. Xiao Zhou, You can summarize the female drowning cases and corpse dumping cases in the city of s over the years."
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lu Yan got off work.
In the underground garage, as soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Jiang Chengyi's car parked in the opposite parking space.
When she got closer, she found that Jiang Chengyi was sleeping on the seat, the car window was open, the light from the parking lot penetrated the front window glass, casting a faint shadow on the bridge of his tall nose, with a tired look on his face.
She stopped in front of the car, stared at the hickey on his neck, looked and looked, thinking of what happened yesterday, still a little annoyed.
I thought he was fast asleep, but as soon as he opened the car door, Jiang Chengyi opened his eyes immediately, his eyes were clear and sharp, and there was no sleepiness at all.
She slowly got into the car and sat down.
I don't know if the heating was too full, and the car was a little hot. I glanced at him casually and found that his lips were also a little dry.
In the end, he was the first to break the silence: "Go back to rest?"
She lowered her eyelids: "Yeah."
"Oh." He started the engine. "Me too."
Inexplicably, Lu Yan felt that this sentence was a bit of a pun, because every time she came home from work at night, she would go straight to bed after taking a shower.
"That..." She refused to let her thoughts continue to diverge, moved her body calmly, and looked out the window, "One of the targets of the murderer you said yesterday may be me, is it the woman who is stalking me, or is it just me? Say the butterfly sticker on my door?"
Before Jiang Chengyi could answer, the phone rang.
Jiang Chengyi looked at the phone.
This time, the phone was placed on the center console, and he could reach it with his hand. There was no reason for Lu Yan to help him pick it up, so he had to pick it up himself.
The mother's voice was a little choked: "Cheng Yi, are you and Miss Lu free tonight? Jingjing is too unfortunate. Your father and I plan to visit your Uncle Ding and Aunt Liu at night. Oh, I heard that Jingjing has many more. The classmates want to go together, if you can get off work on time, come early."
Before he hung up, Lu Yan's phone rang.
He glanced at her screen: Tang Jie.
After listening to it for a few seconds, Lu Yan lowered her voice and said, "Oh, okay, I know where Ding Jing's house is, and it will be over at night."
