"Where's Luo Qi?" Nie Qing once again walked into the tent where the deceased was, and the first thing he said was to ask Luo Qi's whereabouts.

A person from the inspection team next to him answered casually: "I haven't seen him today."

Nie Qing frowned, dialed Luo Qi's cell phone directly, and asked, "Where are you?"

"Ah team leader!" Luo Qi sounded messed up on the other side, and he had to shout at the top of his voice: "Sorry team leader! I was delayed by a traffic accident here! I just sent people to the People's Hospital! Hurry over there!!"

"Well, come here as soon as possible." Nie Qing hung up the phone, and while putting the phone back in his pocket, he smoked a cigarette.

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng walked up to him and took the cigarette from his hand, "Smoking is harmful to your health, try not to smoke it."

In fact, Nie Qing's addiction to cigarettes is not too high, especially after Yu Sheng came back this time, he smoked even less.It's just that he felt a little depressed at the moment, so he wanted to use nicotine to stimulate himself, help clear his mind, and refresh himself by the way.

However, seeing that Yu Sheng had already taken away the refreshing weapon, Nie Qing hesitated for a while and decided to follow his advice and give up this idea for the time being.

"Ah Sheng, just leave it to the secretary for the autopsy. Come with me to check the surveillance video inside and outside the hospital. The 38-minute video from 8:[-] to [-]:[-] should be easy to retrieve. , It seems to be fast, we need to look for suspicious people who appeared near the scene in the video." Nie Qing put down the lighter and said to Yu Sheng.

"No problem." Yu Sheng took his arm and waved to Su Ji, "Little Su Ji, we will be back soon, don't be afraid of being lonely!"

Su Ji: "...not afraid at all."

Yu Sheng was dragged away by Nie Qing with a smile.

By this time, there were not many people left in the hospital. Except for the patients who really needed to be diagnosed, the idlers were cleared out by the public security personnel, and the news media who heard the news were blocked from the gate.

There were also people from the Criminal Investigation Detachment standing in the security office. Two security guards sat in front of the surveillance video screen with a look of bewilderment. Their eyes sometimes looked at the screen in front of them, sometimes at the criminal police behind them, and sometimes through screen to see the criminal police behind him.

When Nie Qing walked in, the three police officers yelled in unison: "Team leader!"

The two security guards seemed to be frightened, and they both jumped up from their chairs, and then called "team leader" inarticulately.

Nie Qing nodded slightly, walked up to him and asked, "Have you watched the surveillance video?"

"Look--"

"I've seen it!" Before the police officers could finish their answers, the two security guards answered first.

They seemed to be afraid of being held accountable by Nie Qing, so they hurriedly excused themselves: "The team leader—oh no, the leader! We have checked it carefully several times, and we really didn't find anything unusual! You three police officers Comrades are also watching here, and they can testify that we are absolutely telling the truth!"

"En." Nie Qing's eyes fell on the screen, "Please show me the video from 38:[-] to [-]:[-] tonight, especially the one in the parking lot."

When the two security guards heard this, their faces immediately became tense, and they looked at each other anxiously, and one of them said reluctantly: "Leader...that video—in fact, we also..."

"Can a grown man speak more happily?" Yu Sheng suddenly interjected from Nie Qing's back.

Another security guard shuddered and said reflexively: "Actually, we don't have any video of the parking lot!"

"What did you say?" Nie Qing turned to look at him, his tone slightly lowered.

The security guard was so stressed by him that he couldn't bear it anymore and had to tell the truth, "Leader, we really can't blame us for this... The monitor in the parking lot was broken last week, and we reported it to the higher-ups, but the higher-ups Said to wait until the end of the National Day holiday. We are only part-time workers, so what can we do?"

"You said the monitor was broken last week?" Nie Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you remember the exact date?"

"This... should be last Friday? September NO.30."

"That's right, it's September NO.30! The day before the holiday!"

The two security guards answered in turn.

Nie Qing glanced at Yu Sheng, and found a trace of doubt in Yu Sheng's eyes. Knowing that he had gone with her, she turned around and asked, "Is there any surveillance other than the parking lot?"

"Yes, yes!" A security guard responded quickly, and then clicked a few times on the computer, beckoning Nie Qing to step forward, pointing him to the playback window on the screen: "This is the surveillance video at the entrance of the hospital, and Which one do you want to watch first for the videos of each floor and the exit of the back door?"

"Let's watch it separately." Nie Qing nodded at Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng hummed, and Nie Qing occupied the positions in front of the two computers respectively, with a security guard standing next to them, helping them explain which video was which.

Because it was necessary to focus on checking the places related to the case, Nie Qing was in charge of checking the surveillance video inside the hospital's main entrance, the back door, and the first floor, while Yu Sheng was in charge of checking the surveillance video inside the third floor where Qiu Ruimin's cardiothoracic surgery director's office was located.

The two of them watched for almost an hour, checking the same video over and over, but they could get very little useful information.

"Ah Qing, I think it's almost there." After looking at it for a while, Yu Sheng turned his head and stopped staring at the computer, rubbing his eyes as if tired and said, "No suspicious person was found on the third floor. At [-]:[-], Qiu Ruimin came out of the office in a panic, holding a mobile phone in her hand. She must have just received a call from someone. However, since there is no camera installed in the office, it is not clear that she was there at the time besides answering the phone. what happened."

Nie Qing nodded after listening, "It's the same on my side. I can only see that she left through the back door, but the person she wanted to see did not appear in the hospital."

"That is to say, if the call Qiu Ruimin received was from the murderer, then the murderer should have known about the broken monitor in the hospital parking lot, so he lay in ambush there in advance, waiting for the target to appear as soon as he appeared." Yu Shengbian While speaking, press the thumb and middle finger of the right hand on the browbones on both sides respectively, and rub hard.

"What's the matter with you?" Nie Qing felt that something was wrong with him, and when he looked closely, he found that his face and lips had turned pale, and he couldn't help holding his hand worriedly and asking, "Ah Sheng? Are you uncomfortable? "

Yu Sheng shook his head slightly, smiled and said to him: "It's okay, maybe it's because I've been staring at the computer just now, it's too taxing for my eyes, and I'm a little dizzy now."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier... Are you dizzy?" Nie Qing was a little anxious, and wanted to hug him, but when she looked up, she realized that there were outsiders around, and it was difficult to make too intimate gestures, so He just held Yu Sheng's arm and said, "I'll help you out first, sit outside and stop looking at the computer."

"En." Yu Sheng didn't object, stood up with Nie Qing's strength, and kept his eyes closed as he walked out.

Nie Qing helped Yu Sheng to sit on a bench in the hospital corridor, then stared at his closed eyes and asked, "Still dizzy? Is it better?"

"It's much better." Yu Sheng smiled in his direction, pressed the back of his hand and patted it lightly, and said in relief: "Ah Qing, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just rest for a while, you go to work first Bar."

But Nie Qing couldn't be at ease at all. He knew Yu Sheng's physical fitness since he was a child, and it was rare for him to become so dizzy that he couldn't even open his eyes after just looking at the computer for more than an hour like this.

Nie Qing felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if she had sensed some kind of hidden danger but was not sure what it was.

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing held Yu Sheng's hand tightly, but watched Yu Sheng slowly fall on him, and said softly, "Ah Qing, I want to lie down for a while..."

"A Sheng?!"

"Just lie down... don't be nervous..." Yu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, but he didn't exert any strength in the hand that held Nie Qing's ten fingers.

Nie Qing couldn't sit still anymore, he gently put Yu Sheng down on the chair and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll call the secretary!"

"Isn't he a forensic doctor? I haven't hung up yet..."

Yu Sheng opened his mouth to protest, but Nie Qing had already run out.

Three minutes later, he took Su Ji and walked back quickly.

"Secretary, help me find out what's going on with him?" Nie Qing's anxious voice came from above his head.

Then came Su Jiqing's clear and moist voice from far to near, as if it was in Yu Sheng's ear, "There may be many reasons for dizziness, and it's hard to easily judge which one he is. By the way, he has eaten all day today." Could it be because of hypoglycemia?"

"This..." Nie Qing's voice paused, and then he blamed himself: "He should not have eaten anything since last night... He has been busy investigating the case with me, and he used his free time to sleep... I didn't care about..."

"That's probably the reason. Go to the vending machine and buy him some chocolate or something, and add some sugar for a while, take it easy, and eat something serious later." Su Ji said to Nie Qing.

Nie Qing quickly answered "Yes" after listening, and Yu Sheng heard his footsteps quickly moving away from him.

Next, it was Su Ji who was talking to him, "Yu Sheng, is your blood pressure normal? My suggestion is that if you are not sure, you'd better test it. It stands to reason that based on your age and physical condition, it is easy to There will be no hypoglycemia. Even if it does occur, it should get better soon and be relatively mild."

"I'm not serious now." Yu Sheng said weakly, "Maybe it's because I've gotten older recently and my body is relatively weak."

Su Ji: "...hehe."

"I'm serious." Yu Sheng's voice was a little louder this time, "Little Su Ji, do me a favor, when Ah Qing comes back, tell him I'm just hypoglycemic, so what should he do?" , don’t worry about it.”

"If I am willing to speak, he must be willing to listen." Su Ji said and put the three fingers in the middle of his right hand lightly on Yu Sheng's wrist.

Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Director Su, do you still know Chinese medicine?"

Su Ji glanced at him, "So-so."

"Ouch, don't call me any more, it makes me flustered." Yu Sheng took his hand back and turned his body inside, "Don't talk to me yet, dizzy."

Su Ji looked at him and shook his head slightly, just at that moment Nie Qing came back, walked over with chocolate in one hand and Yu Sheng in the other, and said to him softly: "Sheng, add some sugar first, I will take you to dinner later."

Yu Sheng: "No need—"

"Let's forget it." Su Ji said for him, "You are the team leader, and you should focus on the case. What's the matter if you run away halfway? I will take care of you for the rest of your life, you can rest assured."

Nie Ting looked at him fixedly after listening, and after silently thinking for a while, he finally nodded and agreed, "Then I will leave the secretary."

Su Ji: "Yes. You should go back first. I see that Liu Jinghua was looking for you just now. There may be something new."

"Okay." Nie Qing asked Yu Sheng to lean on Su Ji, stood up by herself, and looked at him more worriedly before sighing softly, and said, "I'll go first."

"go quickly."

Su Ji watched Nie Qing walk away, and then asked Yu Sheng: "Is this okay?"

"Excellent, thank you." Yu Sheng seemed to relax all of a sudden, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Su Ji after taking a long breath, "There is only one last thing left to ask for your help."

"What are you busy with?"

"Call my little friend for me and ask him to pick me up." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and added, "The one you've seen is the one that was particularly fierce last time."

"Oh, it's him." The image of a golden poodle staring at him instantly appeared in Su Ji's mind. "Aren't you waiting for Nie Qing to go back together?"

"Don't wait, he's in a bad state. He'll be easily distracted if I stay here." Yu Sheng pressed one of his temples with his thumb, probably really uncomfortable. Although he had been talking for a long time, his complexion was still pale .

Su Ji felt that Yu Sheng didn't seem to be suffering from simple hypoglycemia, and combined with his attitude of avoiding the diagnosis just now, he should have some understanding of why he was dizzy.

But obviously, he was unwilling to tell others the reason, including Nie Qing.

Su Ji hesitated for a moment. Out of a friend's standpoint, he still asked, "Yu Sheng, are you okay physically?"

Yu Sheng closed his eyes and laughed, "No cancer, no stem, no thrombus, good cardiopulmonary function, and sound limbs, what major problems do you think there can be?"

"It's fine if you don't have it." Su Ji paused, "Just in case there is, you'd better not hide it from Nie Qing."

Yu Sheng didn't respond immediately when he heard the words, and only hummed after a while, "I know."

Hearing his answer like this, Su Ji felt his heart skip a beat.

On Nie Qing's side, just as he walked to the back door of the hospital, he bumped into Luo Qi who came to look for him.

"Team leader!" Seeing his eyes light up, Luo Qi hurried forward and said, "I found you! I just received a notice from the bureau, let's finish work as soon as possible and go back to the meeting! The meeting time is 10:30 in the evening!"

Nie Qing was surprised, "What's the sudden meeting at such a late hour?"

"It's related to this case. It should be that Director Jia of the Technical Department reported the situation of the serial murder case to his superiors, which alarmed all the leaders in the bureau. That's why a meeting was called to determine the direction and means of investigation." Luo Qi spoke quickly. Very fast.

Nie Qing thought this was a reasonable thing. After all, three people died within six days, not counting the headless and charred corpse before. It is impossible for the bureau not to pay attention.

So he nodded and said to Luo Qi: "Then let the brothers hurry up and collect all the evidence and samples that need to be collected. The transcripts are ready and brought back to the bureau for sorting out, and a copy of the surveillance video is also taken back. We will fight for half an hour." Depart back to the city bureau within a few days."

"Understood!" Luo Qiying paused for a moment, looked at Nie Qing hesitantly and said: "By the way, the team leader, I heard that tonight's meeting will be chaired by Director Nie himself. I'm afraid the meeting will talk about the establishment of a special project." As for the team and specific candidates, when the time comes, Boss Yu..."

Nie Qing was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood Luo Qi's worry.Unexpectedly, this little guy could think of this layer for him.

"Don't worry." Nie Qing patted him, "I know what to do."

"That's good! As long as the team leader knows what's in his mind!" Luo Qisong let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran away to discuss the team's closing.

At this moment, Nie Qing was thinking about the meeting at night, and her expression became serious involuntarily.

Looks like it's tonight.

The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law, and she can't hide, so she has to bite the bullet.

I hope that the rest of my life will not be too sad in this pass of his father.
