"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. It is a nurse in the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital, whose name is Wang Qianqian."

Lu Yan's face turned pale, she only felt that the temple was resisted by "Tutu" and fired twice, and her brain exploded with a bang.

"Wang Qianqian?" She was full of disbelief.

Jiang Chengyi stared at her bloodless face.

Years ago, he had seen a similar expression on her face. The difference was that, in addition to surprise, she was also deeply saddened.

After a few seconds, he spoke unhurriedly: "November 29th—that is, yesterday afternoon, you called Wang Qianqian at 18:17. Can you tell us what was going on at that time?"

At this time, Lu Yan had recovered from the huge shock. She swallowed her saliva and tried to clear her mind, but after adjusting and adjusting, her heart was still beating very fast, and her legs were a little weak.

She finally spoke, but her voice seemed to be covered in wax: "Yesterday afternoon, I called Wang Qianqian, but she refused to answer at the time, and then sent me a WeChat message, the content of which was: 'Little boy' Dr. Lu, it's not convenient for me to answer the phone now.' I thought she was all right, so I didn't call her again."

The police officer in his thirties beside Jiang Chengyi began to take notes: "Doctor Lu, why did you call Wang Qianqian at that time?"

Lu Yan turned to look at the water dispenser in the corner of the room. Her throat was too dry and she desperately needed something to drink, so she asked, "Can I...have a drink first?"

Jiang Chengyi looked at her and didn't speak, but the police officer smiled: "Doctor Lu, don't be too nervous, we're just here to learn about the situation. You drink water first, don't be in a hurry, and slowly recall the situation at that time."

Lu Yan nodded and poured herself a glass of water: "I was on the assistant shift the night before yesterday, and at one o'clock in the morning, I was temporarily called to the operating room to help. That night was Wang Qianqian who was on the assistant shift in the nursing department, but Wang Qianqian's phone calls all night. I couldn't get through, which is very rare in a work unit like ours. I remembered this incident yesterday afternoon, worried that she might have an accident, so I called her."

The police officer asked again: "That night, that is, in the early morning of November 29, which colleague was calling Wang Qianqian? Were you on the side when calling?"

Lu Yan paused for a few seconds before saying, "It's a newly recruited assistant nurse named Xu Zhen. When I came, she seemed to have called, and after that, according to her, she called again. , but I was in the fifth operating room, so…”

Police officer: "So, you didn't actually call Wang Qianqian yourself."

Lu Yan was dumbfounded, but it was a fact.

"Yes."

The police officer looked at Jiang Chengyi and continued to ask, "Do you usually have a relationship with Wang Qianqian in private? What kind of person is she usually? Also, is there anything wrong with Wang Qianqian's work or life recently?"

Lu Yan thought for a while: "She and I can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances, but she wanted to publish a paper for a while, and once asked me a few questions in private. She is relatively introverted, and she is very serious and responsible in her work. As for life … I heard that she is about to get married, and a few days ago, she once sent an electronic version of the wedding invitation at work.”

She took out her mobile phone and started flipping through the memorandum. After looking through it for a long time, she finally saw a line of words that she had written down: [On December 29 (agriculture; winter solstice), Dajiang Restaurant, at 12 noon, Wang Qianqian got married. 】

She locked the screen: "The wedding date is exactly today next month."

Presumably the police had already learned about these situations immediately, so after Lu Yan finished speaking, neither Jiang Chengyi nor the police officer's face changed.

The police officer looked at Jiang Chengyi and asked the last question: "Doctor Lu, can you tell me where you were from 18:00-00:30 last night?"

Lu Yan didn't answer immediately, only looked up at Jiang Chengyi in surprise.

He was also staring at her, his eyes deep and unwavering.

After the meeting, she silently looked away and replied calmly, "I attended a class reunion at Gimhae ktv. The party lasted until 00:30. Afterwards, I went home in the car of my high school classmates."

"Okay." The police officer closed the notebook, got up and said, "Thank you Dr. Lu for your cooperation. We still have some information to learn about. Could you please call the head nurse in the operating room."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked towards the door.

But halfway through, she hesitated for a while, then turned around and asked Jiang Chengyi, "Officer Jiang, can you ask if Wang Qianqian was killed last night?"

At first, Jiang Chengyi didn't speak for a few seconds.

Lu Yan was staring at him, her throat was inexplicably itchy.

It didn't feel good, she stuck there, suddenly a little regretful for asking this question.

Just when she was about to leave, Jiang Chengyi finally said, "The case is still under investigation, and there are no relevant details to comment."

News of Wang Qianqian's murder spread quickly.

The little nurses who had a good relationship with Wang Qianqian all had red eye circles instantly after learning the news, and they all looked extremely sad.

The abnormal death of young people is always shocking. The age of a flower withered so suddenly. While colleagues expressed their embarrassment, they gradually began to have different suspicions.

Throughout the day, wherever Lu Yan went, she could hear colleagues discussing the matter.

She knows that in the end, this kind of thing often evolves into an unexpected version.

When it comes to Wang Qianqian, it is no exception.

By the time she got off work, there were already "Wang Qianqian was already in a love triangle. During her lunch break, she answered the phone behind her back several times, which was mysterious." and "Wang Qianqian encountered some strange things recently, and her mother was superstitious. Very, I also took her to see a master in this city." There are many other explanations, all of which are vivid and well-founded.

Lu Yan was not interested in joining the discussion. She took off her sterile gown and silently changed into her own.

As I walked out of the locker room, the phone rang.

She picked it up and heard Tang Jie say, "Yan, I remembered something and wanted to tell you. Are you off work? Let's have dinner together at night."

After returning to the police station to read the autopsy report, Qin Yue followed Jiang Chengyi into the police car.

As soon as he sat down, he took out the notebook from his pocket and sorted out the clues.

For three hours in the morning, he and Team Jiang roughly touched Wang Qianqian's situation in the unit. In his opinion, Wang Qianqian's case was not too complicated. She was a woman in her early twenties who had a stable job. , the social network is relatively simple, and the possibility of love killing is relatively high, so he decided to focus the investigation on Wang Qianqian's fiance.

When he looked up again, he realized that Jiang Chengyi had actually driven the car back to the First Affiliated Hospital.

The sun is about to go down, and the street lamps by the street are lit up one by one, like snow, reflecting the rose-red sunset in the sky, which has the beauty of a glass world.

It was just after get off work in the evening, and the traffic in front of the hospital was like a stream of horses. He probed and looked out: "Just by looking at the flow of people, you can know how many patients there are in the First Affiliated Hospital a day."

After speaking, he turned his head and saw Jiang Chengyi holding the steering wheel, turning his head to look out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, he couldn't help laughing: "Captain Jiang, I've been thinking about something all day today. When we asked that pretty little Dr. Lu in the morning, we didn't remember to show the police officer's card. How did she know about you? Jiang?"

Those who do criminal investigation are more attentive than others.

Jiang Chengyi looked at his watch: "I have to go back to the bureau in a while, so I can make do with it nearby in the evening, Lao Qin, you can choose any restaurant."

Qin Yue looked at Jiang Chengyi's calm profile. At first, when he learned about Jiang Chengyi's family background, he was a little contemptuous. How many years can a rich boy like this work in the front line of criminal investigation? It's just a ticket.

But after getting in touch these days, he realized that Jiang Chengyi is an out-and-out workaholic. He goes out early and returns late every day, and he is more down-to-earth and hardworking than anyone else. In just two months, he has refreshed the overall impression of him. No wonder This person can climb so fast, it is really a piece of material for big things.

When he got out of his mind, he saw Jiang Chengyi looking at him, as if waiting for his answer, he thought about it and said, "There is a Chaozhou restaurant nearby that is not bad, but I said, Team Jiang, it's my turn to invite you today. ."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyi smiled, turned the steering wheel, and was about to merge the car into the right-turn lane, but the phone came in.

Qin Yue took the mobile phone for him, and when he saw "Mom" written in the name column above, he hurriedly said, "It's Auntie, do you want to pick it up?"

Jiang Chengyi nodded: "Help me pick it up."

A middle-aged woman's voice came over the phone: "Cheng Yi, are you busy in the bureau today? Uncle Ding and Aunt Wang brought Jingjing here. Jingjing has something to tell you, you'd better come back. , let's have dinner together tonight."
