remnants

The visit to Bai Weining and Miao Yan did not last long, because the parents were not very clear about their son's life experience after he went to college, and could not ask any helpful information.

In addition, during the process of questioning, Nie Qing could also see that Bai Weining and Miao Yan were exhausted physically and mentally. They wished they could rest for a while after speaking a few words, so they couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

When they were leaving, Miao Yan leaned against the edge of the bed and closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was asleep or awake, while Bai Weining stood up with support, held Nie Qing's hand tightly and begged: "Comrade police... Please... ...Please find the murderer who killed Xiaozhang!! I will replace our whole family first...Thank you..."

"Uncle..." Nie Qing was grabbed by him, and his heart seemed to be clenched tightly. He was a little suffocated, so he could only persuade in a dry voice: "Don't say that, solving the case and finding the murderer What we should do is our duty, and we will do our best.”

"Thank you...thank you..." Bai Weining seemed to have only these two words left to say, he kept repeating them, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Nie Qing couldn't help but hugged him tightly, and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely find the criminal and bring him to justice."

Bai Weining: "Thank you...thank you..."

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng patted Nie Qing lightly at this moment, and dodged to let Mu Xi Ze who had just been called over by him.

Mu Xi Ze came to the front to support Bai Weining, and advised: "Uncle, don't be too sad, sit down and rest for a while, I will send them out."

"Okay... okay... I won't give it away..." Bai Weining's legs seemed to be a little weak, and when Mu Xi Ze helped him to the edge of the chair, he fell into it as if he lost his strength.

Then Mu Xizhe walked towards Nie Qing again, facing him and said, "Leader Nie, let's go out and talk."

"En." Nie Qing glanced at Bai Weining and Miao Yan's couple again, then turned and left the room depressed.

After several people went out, Mu Xize turned around and closed the door first, motioned them to stand a little further away from the door of Bai Zhang's bedroom with his eyes, and then asked: "Group leader Nie, you have asked for useful information. Is it? Is it helpful to solve the case?"

Nie Qing didn't want to say more to him for the time being, so he just said: "I have asked for some information, and we need to investigate further as to whether it will help."

Mu Xi Ze nodded, "I hope the murderer can be caught as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Nie Qing looked at him, "By the way, you went to the secretary before and said that you made a new discovery on the surveillance video. What is it?"

"Oh, you said that. In fact, it's not an important clue. It's just that the surveillance system has been tampered with. It should be that some kind of program virus was implanted in advance. As a result, all the surveillance videos displayed on the surveillance video at the time of the incident It was a picture that was fixed for a period of time before." Mu Xi Ze said.

Nie Qing: "Implant a virus? Who can do this?"

"A person like me is fine." Mu Xi Ze said with a wry smile, "Group Leader Nie, I know you haven't let go of your doubts about me, but I have said everything I can say and done everything I can do. I don't know what else to do to prove my innocence."

"Don't worry, Brother Nishizawa, when the real murderer is caught, you will be innocent." Yu Sheng suddenly smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Nie Qing glanced at him helplessly, pulled him back and said to Mu Xi Ze: "I don't doubt you, but I can't fully trust you yet. But the captain told me before that he wanted you to join the special case team, and I agree." Yes, and the director has already approved it, so from now until the case is solved, I still need your help."

"Let me join the task force?" Mu Xi Ze seemed a little surprised, and asked, "Is this appropriate?"

Nie Qing nodded expressionlessly, "It's suitable. But there is one thing I want to remind you. Next time you find something new, come to me directly. If you can't find me, you can find other people in the task force. The forensic doctor They have their own work, not to listen to your opinions and make suggestions."

After hearing this, Mu Xi Ze's gaze paused, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were slightly lowered, "I see."

"Well. Then let's go first, and there is another place to go." After Nie Qing finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Yu Sheng, who smiled and hooked Mu Xi Ze's shoulders, "Brother Xi Ze, don't be disappointed. I want to see Xiao Su Ji in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities, just don't use the banner of 'talking about clues' anymore."

Mu Xi Ze looked at him, and moved the corner of his mouth very quickly, but the movement was so subtle that it was almost invisible. "Thank you, I understand."

"Okay, let's go." Nie Qing grabbed Yu Sheng, opened the door of Mu Xi Ze's house and walked out, "Keep in touch."

"No problem, everyone go slowly." Mu Xi Ze stood by the door and watched them off.

After going downstairs, Nie Qing asked Yu Sheng, "Ah Sheng, why did you suddenly mention Bai Zhang's liking for anime just now? Where did you know that?"

"On the wall." Yu Sheng poked his finger upwards symbolically, "Bai Zhang posted a list of the new October episodes of Japanese anime on the wall. If you see a cross or a circle, maybe there is nothing he particularly hates or likes this season.”

Nie Qing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Have you heard of the anime that Bai Zhang's mother mentioned?"

"I've seen it. It's not bad. It's a high-quality one." Yu Sheng said with a smile. Contractors with strong cost leadership have a particularly large contrast.”

"Do you think this has anything to do with the case?" Nie Qing asked thoughtfully.

Yu Sheng shrugged, "I don't know if it has anything to do with the case. I just asked because I was curious about why Bai Zhang became friends with Mu Xi Ze."

"..." Nie Qing almost rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand to grab his collar, "Tell me what you said, or I will count you as dereliction of duty, and you will not be allowed to follow me for three days."

Lian Xu: "How dare you threaten the third brother——"

"Calm down, calm down." Yu Sheng held down the "Little Golden Retriever" who had been silently serving as the background board behind him for a long time, and said with a smile: "Aren't you curious? A person as lonely and arrogant as Bai Zhang, after all, fell in love with Mu?" What is Caesar's point of being friends with him? I want to find out his character through the things he likes, and this will also help you figure out what kind of person Musizer is, won't it?"

"Are you so sure that there is a connection between the two?" Nie Qing raised his eyebrows and asked him.

Yu Sheng spread his hands, "I'm not sure, but there's no harm in trying. If you really find something, don't you just make money?"

"Then what have you discovered now?" Nie Qing asked back.

Yu Sheng pretended to think for a few seconds, then nodded mysteriously, "Maybe Mu Xi Ze is a hidden character like the hero of Hei Qi. I got close to him because of admiration. But I didn't expect that the secrets and responsibilities on this Muxi Ze were too deep and the responsibility was too heavy. The closer he was to Bai Zhang, the more dangerous he was. Until two days ago, Bai Zhang accidentally discovered the core It’s a secret, this is—"

Before he could finish speaking, Nie Qing had already covered his mouth.

"Don't make fun of the dead." Nie Qing finished in a low voice and sighed softly.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Yu Sheng didn't say any more, pursed his lips and made a silent gesture, and Nie Qing let him go.

"Next, I'm going to meet Qiu Ruimin's husband, Luo Qi, and you can drive."

After Nie Qing finished speaking, he tossed the car keys to the little friend who had been quiet for a long time. Hearing the words, the little friend immediately became excited as if he had been cast with a lively spell. He firmly caught the key and promised loudly: "Good team leader!"

"Cut." Lian Xu shook his hair disdainfully.

Nie Qing directly ignored the reactions of the two, and took Yu Sheng's hand and sat in the back seat. After a sigh of relief, he leaned sideways on his shoulder.

"Tired?" Yu Sheng lowered his head and asked him softly.

"No, just a little sleepy." Nie Qing frowned slightly.

"How about you pillow on my lap?" Yu Sheng hugged him.

Nie Qing seemed to think for a while, then lay down obediently, turned his body to the side, and said in a muffled voice: "It's almost time to wake me up."

"Well, you can sleep peacefully first." Yu Sheng buried his fingers in his hair, gently massaged his scalp, and his voice became extremely gentle and pleasant.

The faces of Luo Qi and Lian Xu in the front row were flushed—unfortunately not for the same reason.

Five or ten minutes later, the car drove into the Jinlan Ming Mansion behind the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Pingcheng Medical University in Wuhua District—Yu Sheng dared to guarantee that Luo Qi definitely took a long detour on the way, and the speed was stuck at the minimum speed limit.

After the car came to a complete stop, Yu Sheng leaned close to Nie Qing's ear and called him in a low voice: "Ah Qing, we are here."

"Hmm..." Nie Qing responded with a hoarse voice. Before he opened his eyes, his hands were already on the seat and he was about to sit up. Yu Sheng supported his shoulders to help him sit up straight.

"Team leader, why don't you rest for a while longer? It's still early anyway." Luo Qi turned his head from the driver's seat and looked at Nie Qing who was pressing his brows hard.

Nie Qing shook his head, "No need, I've been refreshed after a while of sleep. Turn off the ignition and get out of the car."

When Luo Qi heard the words, he looked at Yu Sheng with pleading eyes, but saw that Yu Sheng also shook his head slightly at him, so he had to obey.

The four of them came to Unit [-], Building [-], Phase C of Jin Lanming Mansion. Luo Qi went up and rang the doorbell of Room [-]. After the doorbell rang a dozen times, he heard the sound of being connected from the microphone. The man asked in a deep and slow voice, "Who is that?"

"Hello, we are from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I talked to you on the phone before and made an appointment to meet today." Luo Qi replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, the outside door opened with a "beep".

"Come in," the man said.

From the name, this community seems to be quite expensive. It is reported that the house price is not low, and Qiu Ruimin's house in Phase C is the main duplex high-rise building in the community. There are four elevators in the building, and the elevator room is also decorated. It was very magnificent.

Nie Qing and Yu Sheng took the elevator up to the eighth floor. When they came to the door of Room [-], they found the door was open, so they knocked lightly on it twice and filed in.

"Hello, police officer." A man in his 50s, wearing a crumpled black suit, stood inside the door and greeted them with a haggard face.

"Hello, Mr. Dong." Nie Qing stepped forward and shook hands with him, feeling that his palms were covered with sticky cold sweat, and his hands were weak.

This person was Qiu Ruimin's husband, Dong Mingchang, a businessman.

According to the survey, Dong Mingchang was originally an employee of a state-owned enterprise, but he resigned suddenly about seven years ago and started a clothing business by himself.

He and Qiu Ruimin also have a daughter named Dong Xue, who was sent to study in the United States since high school. She is 19 years old and has just entered a prestigious Ivy League school as a freshman.

In the eyes of outsiders, the life of Dong Mingchang and Qiu Ruimin's family is very enviable.Both the husband and wife have decent and well-paid jobs, and their daughter is excellent, with a foreseeable bright future. The family should get better and better in the future.

But who would have thought that such an accident would happen suddenly.

Nie Qing didn't know what kind of person Dong Mingchang looked like in normal times, but he knew that it would definitely not be like this, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he was sluggish with an unconcealable sense of depression and exhaustion.

"Officer, please sit down." Dong Mingchang let them into the living room again, but after saying this, he sat on the sofa first.

Nie Qing walked over and sat in a row with Yu Sheng and Lian Xu, while Luo Qi sat on the single sofa opposite Dong Mingchang and took out a recorder and notebook to record.

"Mr. Dong, do you mind if we record what you said next? It may be used as relevant materials in the case and submitted to the procuratorate and the court in the future." Nie Qing said first.

Dong Mingchang nodded.

So, Nie Qing gestured to Luo Qi with his eyes, and Luo Qi turned on the recorder knowingly, and then Nie Qing asked: "Mr. Dong, is it convenient for you to recall for us first, among the people that Doctor Qiu usually knows, there are Someone she doesn't have a relationship with, or has had a serious conflict with? Anyone."

"Officer, I've actually been thinking about the question you asked all night... But, no matter how I think, I can't think of anyone who would have feud with Xiao Qiu..." Dong Mingchang sighed deeply.

Nie Qing had previously asked Qiu Ruimin's colleagues in the Fifth Hospital. Regarding Qiu Ruimin's personality and interpersonal relationship, everyone's reaction was very similar to that of Su Yongdeng when he passed away. They all said that a dedicated and easy-going person like her is very respected on weekdays. I have never heard of her having a relationship with anyone.

At this time, Dong Mingchang's words once again confirmed this fact.

Unless he lied, they couldn't find any breakthrough in this regard for the time being.

Nie Qing thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly remembered Qiu Ruimin's resume that Liu Jinghua told him yesterday, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Dong, can you tell us why Doctor Qiu was suddenly transferred from the No. 1 civilian hospital seven years ago?" Come to the Fifth Hospital? Did something happen there?"

"Uh... this..." Dong Mingchang's expression suddenly hesitated, his eyes rolled down, he stared at the edge of the tea table in front of him and said, "It's just an ordinary job transfer...the work pressure at the First Hospital is high, and the working hours are also long. , Xiaoqiu may not be very used to it. In addition, at that time, Xiaoxue, our daughter, was about to face the exam of Xiaoshengchu, and there was no adult to take care of her at home, so Xiaoqiu went to find their vice president and applied for a transfer. .”

"Really." Nie Qing looked at him, paused for a few seconds and said: "I remember that Mr. Dong started his own business at that time. Why is it so coincidental? My daughter wants to be promoted to primary school, you want to do business, and Doctor Qiu is transferred , these things all came together."

"Who says it's not..." Dong Mingchang smiled wryly, "You know the police officer, some things are just a coincidence, and I don't know how to say it..."

"It feels like winning the lottery suddenly." Yu Sheng suddenly interjected at this moment.

Dong Mingchang looked at him in a daze, "What?"

"I mean, your family was like winning the lottery at that time, and you must have gained a lot of income."

As Yu Sheng said, he put one hand on Nie Qing's knee and counted with his fingers, "You see, you definitely needed capital to start a business at that time. 3 yuan. And your house was bought at that time. At that time, the average price here was 180 square meters. Based on the area of ​​65 square meters, it would cost at least 20 yuan to buy and decorate. Even if you choose Pay in installments, and the down payment must be at least 40 yuan. Add in the price of the pickup truck you bought after you moved here, and the tuition fees of the private junior high school that Ling Qianjin attended. The total expenses within the year will exceed [-], which is not a small sum."

"This... this..." Dong Mingchang didn't expect that Yu Sheng would suddenly settle accounts with him, and after reacting for a while, he hesitated to ask: "Is there any problem?"

Yu Sheng shook his head with a half-smile, "It's not a big problem, I'm just a little curious. Because if calculated based on the income level of you and Dr. Qiu back then, it should be very difficult for you to afford such a large amount of expenses."

"Yes... it's true that there are some difficulties...but, but we also asked our family and friends for help! We made it together...it was so easy to make up so much money..." Dong Mingchang said with his head down.

"It turned out to be like this. That is to say, after doing business, you quickly made money back and paid off all the debts?" Yu Sheng stared at him and asked.

Dong Mingchang nodded vigorously after waiting for two seconds, "Yes, that's right! It will be paid off soon! But police officer, aren't you here today to investigate the situation related to the murderer who killed Xiaoqiu? Why did you suddenly start to care about it? Is my family's financial situation? You shouldn't be suspicious of me?!"

"No, don't get excited." Nie Qing looked back at Yu Sheng, and then said to Dong Mingchang in a comforting tone: "Mr. Dong, the reason we ask this question is to know that Doctor Qiu left No.1 seven years ago. Did something special happen in the People's Hospital? I think you should have heard the news that the president of the First Hospital Su was killed. In such a short period of time, two respected doctors were killed in succession, and the relationship between them The only intersection we can find so far is that they both worked in No.1 Civilian Hospital seven years ago, we naturally hope to find some clues from it. I hope you can understand us."

Hearing what Nie Qing said was very sincere, Dong Mingchang finally eased his slightly sullen expression just now. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "I know about Dean Su, it's really a pity... But, I think Apart from being colleagues, Xiaoqiu and Dean Su have no other noteworthy intersections. At least she never told me about it."

Nie Qing nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "So that's the case. Do you know who Dr. Qiu has been in contact with more frequently recently? Or have you made any appointments or met someone?"

Dong Mingchang: "As far as I know, no. But I don't know the details... After all, my business..."

"Understood." Nie Qing clasped his hands together, making a gesture to end the conversation, "Thank you for telling us today, there is nothing else to ask for now, and I will ask you for advice later if I think of anything."

"You don't need to be so polite, you should..." Dong Mingchang took a sip from the water glass at hand.

Nie Qing took out a business card of her own from her pocket and put it on the coffee table, "Here is my phone number, in case you need to find me later, or think of any information that may be helpful, please call me anytime."

"I see, thank you." Dong Mingchang picked up the business card, turned around and put the business card next to a photo frame of a family of three.

Nie Qing saw that his hand shook slightly when he put down the business card, so he couldn't help but lower his voice and comfort him softly: "Please give me condolences..."

Dong Mingchang nodded slightly with his back turned to him. After a moment of silence, his shoulders suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and he uttered out of tune sentences.

Hoarse, slender, like a whisper, but when you listen carefully, you find that there is actually only one sentence.

What he said was: How can I explain to Xiaoxue...
