remnants

On the second day of Golden Week, just after 06:30 in the morning on October [-]nd, Nie Qing's cell phone exploded in his ears like thunder.

"Hey, captain." Nie Qing was sober from the moment he saw the caller ID.

"Nie Qing, come to No.1 People's Hospital immediately. Dean Su was murdered and is dead." Fu Mingjie's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and there were palpitating sirens around. surround.

Nie Qing's expression was as if someone had slapped him on the head. He was stunned for two seconds before he suddenly came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Dean Su?? Are you sure it's Dean Su?!"

"Yeah." Fu Mingjie's answer was extremely serious, "I understand how you feel, but it has been confirmed at the scene that it is indeed him."

Nie Qing's heart beat faster immediately, and asked: "What about the secretary?? Does he know about this?"

"The hospital notified the family members at the first time, so they should have known about it." Fu Mingjie paused, "Of course, it is obviously not suitable to entrust him with the post-mortem work this time. I have asked Xiaojing to rush to the scene as soon as possible. She Your ability is not weaker than Su Ji, you can rest assured."

"...I understand, I'll go there now!" Nie Qing hung up the phone after speaking, and Yu Sheng was already awake next to him, sitting up and asking him, "What's the matter?"

Nie Qing's face was extremely solemn, and he waited for a few seconds before opening his mouth with some difficulty: "President Su of the No. 1 civilian hospital... Su Ji's father... was killed."

Yu Sheng was also taken aback when he heard that, seeing that Nie Qing had already got up and put on his clothes, he immediately went to the ground to pick up his clothes and said, "You are going to the scene, right? I'll go with you."

"What are you going to do?" Nie Qing paused, then quickly said as he walked through it: "At any rate, you are also a person who has attended a police academy for a semester. Don't you know that idlers can't approach the crime scene?"

"It's as if the two of us have been close to each other since we were young." Yu Sheng moved a little faster than Nie Qing, rushed into the bathroom before him, took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth and said vaguely: "You Say I'm a private detective, and I'm your case-handling consultant."

"I think you've watched Conan too much, do you think the police are idiots?" Nie Qing's face is very gloomy now, his face is clouded, and his brows are also tightly frowned when talking to Yu Sheng, "Even if it's a private detective, You are not allowed to enter the scene without the permission of the criminal police team, not to mention that your current identity does not sound innocent, and going there will only attract people's suspicion."

"Isn't it appropriate for me to be your informant in my current capacity? And when it comes to partnering with you, is there anyone who has a better understanding than me?" Yu Sheng stood at the door after sorting out.

Nie Qing came out later, sighed when he saw him, opened the door and said, "I don't have time to talk to you now, if you really want to come, you can follow, but if the captain blocks you at the scene, I can't help it."

"Okay!" Yu Sheng replied happily.

Immediately afterwards, he followed Nie Qing's buttocks down the stairs, got in the car and went straight to the No.1 People's Hospital.

Pingcheng No.1 People's Hospital, as the first general hospital in Pingcheng to be rated as the top three, is still the hospital with the strongest comprehensive strength, the highest medical level, and the best reputation among patients in Pingcheng.The high cure rate of its cardiothoracic surgery and the superb level of doctors are well-known throughout the country, and even attracted the attention of the world's medical circles.

Su Yongdeng, the current president of the No. 1 civilian hospital, was promoted step by step from the attending physician of cardiothoracic surgery, to the deputy chief physician, and then to the chief physician.His profound professional knowledge and superb surgical skills are recognized by everyone in the industry, whether friends or opponents, even those who are dissatisfied with his smooth career, can't fault his professionalism.

On Su Yongdeng's 50th birthday, at the request of many patients he cured and colleagues who worked together, the city also specially invited a respected calligrapher to write a picture for him, which reads "Benevolence and benevolence, rejuvenation" The "Holy Hand" is used to commend him for his hard work and hard work for so many years. It was presented by the mayor himself. Since then, it has been hung on the wall of the No. 1 civilian hospital's director's office, like a pennant.

It is really unacceptable that such a person who can be called the "treasure" of Pingcheng has passed away suddenly.

Although the police blocked the news as soon as they received the report, the news of "Dean Su was killed" still went unnoticed, and spread quickly.

When Nie Qing and Yu Sheng arrived at the gate of No.1 Civilian Hospital, they found that the place was already surrounded by various media and passers-by who had heard the news, and the intersection on the east side of the gate was even more blocked.Fortunately, Nie Qing followed Yu Sheng's advice and took a few small paths to come from the side door of the hospital, so he didn't get stuck on the road.

……

"Hello! I heard that Dean Su was killed, is it true?"

"Whether it was suicide or homicide, could you please tell me?"

"What is the murderer's motive? May I ask if the police have a conclusion now?"

"What is the next line of investigation?"

"Is there any suspect??"

"How long is it expected to solve the case? Are there any clues to provide??"

"Is there any connection between Dean Su's death and the murder that happened in Lianxiang District last night?"

……

There were all kinds of guesses and questions along the way. The more Nie Qing listened, his expression became more and more serious. Finally, he squeezed to the cordon and showed his police badge and dragged Yu Sheng in together. When he turned around, he found that he was actually a An expression of interest on the face.

"Ah Qing," Yu Sheng said when he saw him coming over, "I found that everyone's questions are very to the point. If you can solve all the questions they asked, then the case will basically be solved—what's wrong with you? ? The expression is a little scary..."

Nie Qing looked at him silently for a moment, then said seriously: "It was my friend's father who died, can you show some respect?"

"I'm not disrespectful. I also know Dean Su. I don't feel bad when he died, but I just said that he asked a good question, and I didn't—eh? Ah Qing!" Nie Qing, who was left behind him, shut his mouth when he saw that he was really angry.

The two walked into the building of No.1 Civilian Hospital. This building adopts a "back"-shaped building structure as a whole. It is [-] stories high. The above can only be reached by lifts or stairs with safe access.

The elevator room is located on the west side of the building. There are eight elevators in total, four of which are responsible for the operation between the first basement and the fourteenth floor above the ground; The floors are non-stop, mainly serving the hospital leaders and the patients in the VIP ward; the last two are freight elevators, which run between the third floor underground and the twenty floors above the ground, and are only used by staff, such as transporting stretchers or transporting the dead Only these two elevators are used to go to the morgue.

Yu Sheng and Nie Qing took the No. [-] elevator to the [-]th floor. There were no departments or wards on this floor. They were all the offices of the senior leaders of the hospital, so the layout looked like an ordinary office building.

The police have completely sealed off the scene. Just now at the entrance of the hospital, they only blocked the media and spectators.

"Leader, you are here." At the door of the dean's office, Zhu Zuwei first saw Nie Qing, and walked over and nodded to him, "The captain is inside."

"I see." After Nie Qing finished speaking, he saw Zhu Zuwei cast doubtful eyes behind him, and he turned around and grabbed Yu Sheng's arm and said, "I'll take this man to see the captain, don't stop him."

"Okay." Zhu Zuwei stepped aside tactfully, and directed people to investigate the remaining footprints in the corridor.

Yu Sheng walked into the dean's office with Nie Qing, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw the scene at first glance.

"Nie Qing, here we come." Fu Mingjie just turned around from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side of the office at this moment. The not too glaring sunlight in the early morning shone from behind him, casting a shadow on his face. His expression was clouded and indistinct.

Nie Qing nodded, went up to him and said, "Captain, I brought a person here today to help with the investigation. I wonder if you can approve it."

"Outsiders?" Fu Mingjie had seen Yu Sheng, frowned and said, "This is against the rules. But since you brought it up, I want to hear your reason."

"Yes." Nie Qing finished answering and pulled Yu Sheng to her side, "Captain, although he is not a policeman, he grew up with me in the compound since childhood. He used to... used to always aim to be a criminal policeman. He was admitted to the Criminal Police Academy during the college entrance examination, but it was a pity that he dropped out of school due to some reasons. But his case-handling and reasoning skills are very good, and he is definitely not inferior to me, I can guarantee this."

Fu Mingjie frowned more and more when he heard this, "Nie Qing, I always thought you were a steady person, but your behavior in the past two days made me doubt this. No matter how strong his ability is, no matter how strong he is, How close is the relationship with you, it is very unprofessional and even a violation of discipline to let someone outside the system intervene in the case casually. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Nie Qing pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Captain, I understand what you mean, I will take Yu Sheng out now."

"Wait!" Fu Mingjie suddenly stopped him, but fixed his eyes on Yu Sheng and asked, "What did you say his name was just now?"

"Hi Captain, my name is Yu Sheng." Yu Sheng replied with a smile.

"Yu Sheng... surnamed Yu, and at this age, he grew up in a large courtyard..." Fu Mingjie muttered to himself as if lost in thought, then suddenly looked up at Yu Sheng and asked, "Are you Team Yu?" son?"

Hearing him mention his father, the smile on Yu Sheng's face narrowed slightly, "I am Yu Youwen's son."

"So it was you..." Fu Mingjie's expression became a little unpredictable, and he waited and asked Nie Qing: "So you left the scene suddenly yesterday because of him?"

Nie Qing didn't give any explanation, just nodded and hummed.

Fu Mingjie didn't speak for a while.His gaze swung between Yu Sheng and Nie Qing, and it took almost two or three minutes before he finally spoke: "Well, these two days are in time for the National Day, and many people in the team have gone home for vacation, but two incidents happened one after another. We are also a little short on the murder case, so we can keep him to help. However, the help can only stay in the field of observing the scene and providing reference opinions, and other more core information is absolutely not allowed to be disclosed. "

Having said this, Fu Mingjie turned to Nie Qing again, "You brought the person, and you are responsible. If anything goes wrong later, I can only blame you."

"Yes." Nie Qing raised his head and replied solemnly.

"That's enough, let's stop talking nonsense, you go and check on the deceased first." Fu Mingjie left the office after finishing speaking.

Yu Sheng and Nie Qing looked at each other, Yu Sheng snickered and said in a low voice, "Ah Qing, you are still good to me. Although you said that it was inconvenient for me to come with you, you still helped me talk at the critical moment."

"What's the use of my talking." Nie Qing looked at him, but felt inexplicably heavy in his heart.

What Fu Mingjie blurted out just now was "Team Yu". It seems that he probably worked with Yu Sheng's father Yu Youwen before.That being the case, he should be very clear about what happened afterwards, including the final outcome of Yu Sheng's parents.

Could it be that he suddenly changed his mind and let Yu Sheng stay out of sympathy?Still have other ideas...

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng suddenly patted him at this moment, Nie Qing came back to his senses, and found that Yu Sheng was looking at him deeply, "During work, don't miss out."

"You don't need to remind me." Nie Qing took a deep breath, calmed down and walked towards the corpse.

The No. 1 civilian hospital arranged this office for the director, which is very elegantly decorated, with an area of ​​at least [-] square meters, and all the utensils are expensive. The leather sofa and rosewood table look very high-end.

The place where Nie Qing and the others were standing just now was in the southeast corner of the office. From there, Su Yongdeng could be seen slumped on the office chair, the white coat on his chest was stained with blood.

At this time, if you look closer, you can see it more clearly.

I saw Su Yongdeng leaning back on the office chair. The fatal wound should be the wound on his chest. The blood was all over his chest but there was no obvious splash, and there was hardly any sign of resistance on his body. , should be a one-hit kill.

"Where's the forensic doctor? Haven't arrived yet?" Nie Qing turned to ask the on-site investigators next to him.

"It's almost here. I just heard that there was a traffic accident on the road, and it was delayed for a while, but it should be coming soon now."

"Yes." Nie Qing nodded, "Give me a pair of gloves."

"I want a pair too." Yu Sheng walked to the other side of Su Yongdeng and said.

The investigators didn't show too much curiosity about the stranger who appeared at the scene for no reason, and quickly gave them two pairs of disposable gloves. Nie Qing and Yu Sheng put them on respectively, and they began to observe the corpse.

"Mr. Su's clothing is pretty good." Yu Sheng said while looking at it, "This dark blue shirt and purple striped tie are made of real silk, the suit pants should be pure wool worsted, gray fine cotton socks, and black handmade leather shoes , tsk tsk, pay attention."

"Can you focus on the key point first?" Nie Qing frowned and stared at him, then retracted his gaze, carefully picked up the edge of the white coat at the wound with tweezers, and stared at it carefully: "It seems that it should be pierced by a sharp object. Judging from the width and shape of the stabbing wound, I suspect that the murder weapon is a sharp knife such as a pocket knife."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng leaned over, looked at it for a while, and said, "The blade length of a jackknife is generally between seven and ten centimeters. Dean Su's body is thin, and more than seven centimeters should be enough to pierce the heart."

Nie Qing nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand to look at Su Yongdeng's eyelids, then touched his jaw, neck, shoulders, elbows, thighs, knees, fingers and other parts, and said in a deep voice: "Dean Su's cornea is dry. , the transparency of the pupils has weakened, and at the same time, post-mortem stiffness has appeared on the body, but the degree is currently weak. The plaque on the back of the neck also fades slightly after being pressed, and the edges are blurred. The estimated time of death is about six hours. It is now seven o'clock in the morning Eight minutes, that is to say, the murderer committed the crime at about one o'clock in the morning today... one o'clock in the morning..."

Nie Qing muttered to himself, but Yu Sheng shook his head aside, and said thoughtfully, "Ah Qing, I think the time of committing the crime should have been earlier."

"The reason?" Nie Qing looked at him seriously.

"Temperature." Yu Sheng pointed to the thermometer at the door, "Last night, the temperature outside was about 8 degrees Celsius. When I entered the door just now, the thermometer showed that the room temperature was 14 degrees Celsius. Ah Qing, when your people came, this room Shouldn’t the air conditioner be turned on in the office?”

Nie Qing glanced at Liu Jinghua who just came to his side, Liu Jinghua shook his head and said, "No, the air conditioner was turned off when we came here after receiving the report."

Yu Sheng hummed, "That's right, the temperature at night is low, and the air conditioner is not turned on, which means that the corpse is basically kept in an environment not higher than 14 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the corpse will become stiff and appear dead. The time of spotting will be later than normal temperature. If we use this as a basis to push forward, the time of death should be between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock last night."

"It makes sense." Nie Qing nodded slightly.

Liu Jinghua looked at Yu Sheng with some surprise and admiration: "Team leader, may I ask who is—"

"The forensic doctor is here." Suddenly a voice outside interrupted him, and then they heard a young woman's voice anxiously approaching the door, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm late! I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, let's go in quickly." These words were said by Fu Mingjie.

"Yes!" After agreeing crisply, a woman in protective clothing hurried in from the office door.

I saw her face up to the sky, her shoulder-length short hair neatly groomed, wearing a disposable hat while walking, a disposable mask on her left ear, and the sweat on her forehead was still wet.

"Xiaojing, you are here. If you don't come, our team leader will take over all your work." Liu Jinghua teased when she saw her approaching.

"I'm really sorry, I was blocked by a traffic accident on the road, and I couldn't move for a long time, but I was so anxious!" The girl panted slightly, looked up at Nie Qing and wanted to apologize again, but her eyes were suddenly caught by the person standing beside Nie Qing. The rest of my life is attracted.

She stared at him blankly for several seconds, and then called out with some uncertainty: "Yu Sheng... Are you Yu Sheng?"

It's so quick to meet an acquaintance.Yu Sheng thought silently in his heart.

But on the surface, he still showed a friendly smile and said hello: "Chi Xiaojing, long time no see."

"You... Long time no see..." Chi Xiaojing stared at him blankly, as if she couldn't even speak.

Nie Qing was going to remind her to let her do an autopsy first, but Luo Qi, who was late, suddenly appeared at this moment. When he entered the scene, he saw Nie Qing at first sight, and Yu Sheng at second sight. Shocked, he shouted, "Boss Yu! Why are you here??"

Chi Xiaojing: "Yu..."

Liu Jinghua: "Boss? Where is the boss?"

Nie Qing almost rolled his eyes, wishing he could go up and gag Luo Qi's mouth.

Too bad it's too late.

Fu Mingjie had heard what they said clearly at the door, so he walked in and looked at Nie Qing with inquiring eyes, and asked, "I'm also curious, Yu Sheng is already the boss at a young age, where is it?" Boss?"

Nie Qing: "...he is—"

"As for the captain, I can't call it a boss, I'm just running a small nightclub. Have you heard of Sin? That's the one." Yu Sheng suddenly took Nie Qing's words and said with a smile.

Fu Mingjie and all the surrounding policemen were stunned, stupid, and confused when they heard this. Only Nie Qing had a faint tired and speechless expression on his face.

What is meant by "a wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs", Nie Qing finally has a little understanding now.
