remnants

Nie Qing's reliance on Yu Sheng didn't last long. After all, there were many people at the scene, and actions that were too eye-catching could easily attract attention.

Nie Qing leaned on Yu Sheng's shoulder and separated from him in less than half a minute. Yu Sheng watched him take two steps back, rubbed his red eyes, and returned to his normal expression, "Let's talk about the business first... ...where were we talking?"

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng was still a little worried, knowing that it was impossible to completely untie his knot for the time being, so he had to make the best suggestion: "After closing the team tonight, go home and have a good sleep. If you don't rest well, your thinking will slower."

"Let's talk about it later." Nie Qing promised very carefully, pressed the center of his brows hard and began to sort out: "I just said, is the problem with the footprints right? Why can't I find the footprints of the murderer and Yang Zhengdong here... Could it be that they came in Some kind of measures were taken at the time—for example, he also wore shoe covers? But why did he do this? I can understand the murderer’s thoughts, but what purpose did Yang Zhengdong use..."

Yu Sheng saw that he was forcing himself into the case so quickly, he couldn't help sighing softly, and then he said: "Since you came here in such a remote and secluded place, Yang Zhengdong should be a little bit uncomfortable." Let me tell you a little secret. As for the murderer, he must be an insider of this secret, so he can use this to lure Yang Zhengdong here, and at the same time allow him to cover up his traces as he expected. I have to say that the murderer It was brilliantly done.”

"A dark secret..." Nie Qing murmured and repeated, "Qiu Ruimin's family had an undisclosed income seven years ago, and Yang Zhengdong has a dark secret, the two must be related. If the murderer really uses this connection to threaten the two of them, it can explain the private meeting—no, it doesn't make sense, it still doesn't make sense..."

"Ah Qing, what are you saying that doesn't make sense?" Yu Sheng looked at him inexplicably.

Nie Qing said as if talking to himself: "Behavior and psychology are inconsistent. Just imagine, if Dean Su, Qiu Ruimin, and Yang Zhengdong all met the murderer under the premise of being threatened, how could they Unprepared? We have also analyzed before that the victim seems to have an extraordinary trust in the murderer, and this trust will definitely not be based on coercive means such as being threatened or blackmailed."

"From what you said, it seems to be the case." Yu Sheng also pondered, "If you know that the other party is hostile to you, even if you want to deceive others, you should prepare some self-protection measures in advance. Boss It’s not like they go to meet each other without any precautions.”

Nie Qing nodded lightly, leaned his back against the wall, lowered his eyelashes and looked at the deep and shallow layers of gray on the ground, and said in a daze: "Ah Sheng, I don't reject the fact that Dean Su has had a failed operation. This assumption. But I don’t understand, if the murderer is really a relative or friend of a patient who was killed by them due to a failed operation in the past, why are they not even a bit vigilant about the murderer?”

"Unless they don't know the relationship between this murderer and the patient." Yu Sheng said word by word, "or..."

Nie Qing: "Or, the murderer is very likely to be a companion who experienced some unspeakable incident with them seven years ago, but now he has murderous intentions because of uneven distribution of spoils or other reasons. It seems possible to think so."

"But if that's the case, the things that can link them together may not be limited to surgery..."

When Yu Sheng said this, he suddenly felt a chill rushing up from his spine, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Is it cold?" Nie Qing turned around sensitively.

"It's not cold, but I think this case is too complicated and a bit scary." Yu Sheng stomped his feet on the spot and rubbed his hands again, "Besides, two people died in this house, don't you think it's a bit eerie?"

"I don't think so." After Nie Qing said this, he took off his clothes for Yu Sheng again, "Just say it's cold, don't make such silly excuses."

Yu Sheng curled his lips, and said, "Forget it if you don't believe me."

Nie Qing shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "Ah Sheng, we have to hurry up. I have a feeling that the murderer is speeding up his actions. It seems that the faster we advance, the faster he moves. We must Try to get ahead of him."

"Speaking of which—" Yu Sheng's voice stopped abruptly.

As soon as Nie Qing raised his head, he saw Liu Jinghua and Su Jizheng entering the door. Su Ji had a serious face. He walked up to him, looked at his expression carefully, and then said softly: "Do your best to obey the destiny. Open it up."

Nie Qing and Yu Sheng paused when they heard his words, Yu Sheng pouted his lips subtly and said: "Little Su Ji really understands Ah Qing, I didn't even think of this level just now."

But Su Ji didn't respond to his words, he just looked around the two of them for a few times, and then said: "I'll go to see the deceased first."

"Let's go down together." Nie Qing glanced at Yu Sheng, who nodded.

In the basement, the personnel of the site inspection team were busy back and forth.

Nie Qing, Yu Sheng and Su Ji carefully avoided the place marked by the inspection team and came to the corpse.

Su Ji had already changed into the protective clothing. Now he put on his gloves and squatted down. After taking a quick look, he said, "The fatal injury should be on the chest area. It seems that the technique is similar to the previous ones. It is still directly stabbed with a sharp instrument. Heart attack, leading to death from hemorrhagic shock. As for the murder weapon, it may still be the same jackknife, but this will not be determined until after the autopsy."

"Well, then you can tell me when the result comes out later." Nie Qing thought for a while, then suddenly called Luo Qi over again, and said to him: "I have a task for you, before eight o'clock tomorrow night, Give me a list of the No.1 People's Hospital Cardiothoracic Surgery staff seven years ago, remember, all of them, including the cleaning staff."

"Seven years ago??" Luo Qi was startled, "Leader, will they give it to you? When I asked them for Dean Su's surgery records, they were not willing to cooperate... This time I want the records from seven years ago." The list of personnel, I am afraid it will be more difficult..."

"If you can't, don't come tomorrow." Nie Qing glanced at him.

Luo Qi suddenly looked like he was about to cry, "Leader...you don't want me...I can't bear you..."

Nie Qing: "...Don't play tricks. If you are in the mood, go show off to your brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts tomorrow, beg for mercy, and try to get things for me."

"Okay! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Luo Qi's face changed as soon as he said it, and he became impassioned immediately, and he almost saluted Nie Qing again.

Nie Qing had nothing to do with him, he waved his hand and said, "You can go now, go back to the bureau and hand over your mobile phone to Mu Xize, then go home and rest, and think about what you should ask for tomorrow."

"The team leader doesn't need me to drive you back later?" Luo Qi asked.

Nie Qing: "No, I will drive myself."

"Okay..." Luo Qi seemed reluctant to let go, but seeing that Nie Qing really had no intention of keeping him, he left on tiptoe.

And in this way, only Nie Qing, Yu Sheng, and Su Ji were left near Yang Zhengdong's body.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Nie Qing asked Yu Sheng: "By the way, what did you want to say before the secretary came? I was interrupted."

"I—" Yu Sheng quickly glanced at Nie Qing, "Promise me first, you won't lose your temper with me after I tell you."

Nie Qing was quite helpless: "If you don't post it, you say it."

"That's good." Yu Sheng looked at Su Ji again, and said with a deep breath, "What I want to say is, just talking about the killing of Yang Zhengdong today, don't you think it's too coincidental in terms of timing?"

Nie Qing's gaze paused for a moment, and he had already guessed what he wanted to say, so he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Coincidence? Do you suspect that someone in the criminal investigation team leaked the secret?"

Yu Sheng nodded, "Otherwise, what better explanation is there? I just found Yang Zhengdong less than an hour ago, and he was called out by the murderer to be killed shortly thereafter. Would you be so hasty?"

Nie Qing clenched his jaw and didn't answer for a moment.

In fact, in his heart, he had had the same question ever since he knew that Yang Zhengdong had left the hospital suddenly.

It's just that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to let himself think in this direction.

Because, if someone really disclosed the news, the suspicious candidates would be everyone in the criminal investigation hall at that time, plus Chi Xiaofei and the people from Chi Xiaofei's team that he himself called to notify.

Counting on my fingers, there are only a few familiar faces.

When Yu Sheng saw that he was silent, he thought that he was worried that he doubted the people around him again, so he went up to him and squeezed his face secretly, flattering him and said, "Ah Qing, you have agreed not to lose your temper, so don't be sullen." .”

"I haven't." Nie Qing pulled his hand down, held it in his palm and shook it lightly, "I have to think about this matter again, I don't want to doubt any of my colleagues easily, but if someone really If there is suspicion, I will not be sloppy in the investigation."

"Well, I understand." Yu Sheng also shook his hand, then let go of his smile and said, "Then I'll go up first and see if there are any traces of car tires around this house. If I can find the case If we find out the means of transportation used by the murderer at that time, maybe we can find new clues about the identity of the murderer."

Nie Qing hummed, "Go ahead, find Zhu Zuwei if you need anything, he has a trace inspection person over there."

"Understood." After Yu Sheng answered, he carefully avoided the mark again, and went up the stairs lightly.

"Nie Qing," Su Ji stood up at this time, with a serious and serious expression, but his voice was somewhat hesitant and asked: "At that time, you asked Luo Qi to check the cardiothoracic surgery staff of the No. 1 civilian hospital seven years ago. The list, are you still suspecting that my dad had concealed the failure of the surgery back then?"

Nie Qing couldn't help being startled when he heard his question, and wanted to deny it, but couldn't.

"I understand." Su Ji said, lowering his head slightly, "To be honest, I still can't get rid of this thought in my mind. I can't think of anything else he could have done to make people hate him."

Nie Qing looked at him, couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder, and said: "Secretary, I really plan to investigate in this direction first. However, it's not the right person. Our first task now is to find the murderer, and It’s not that I want to deliberately expose Dean Su’s history.”

Su Ji nodded, "Of course I know that. I still have a basic sense of right and wrong. I was just thinking, what else can I do to help you from my perspective?"

"It's fine like this now." Nie Qing smiled at him lightly, "You don't need to feel pressured, even if Dean Su really did that kind of thing, it has nothing to do with you."

However, Su Ji seemed to think of something suddenly, his eyes widened slightly, and after a moment of silence, he grabbed Nie Qing's arm and said: "I remembered, my dad has a very thick operation notebook, which he used himself. It is used for records and study, and it is not easily shown to others. Even when I was a child, I accidentally peeked at it once and was locked up by him. I guess, it probably records all the important operations he has done since he started his career. Failed ... may also be recorded."

"There is such a record??" Nie Qing seemed quite surprised, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I heard from you that I went to the hospital to ask for his surgery records. I didn't expect him to deliberately hide something. Besides..." Su Ji paused for a while, "I have been deadlocked with him for so many years. Before, he was unwilling to let me I’m afraid I don’t want to find out what I’m looking at now. So, I didn’t think about looking for it, and I almost forgot that there was such a thing.”

"I understand." Nie Qing looked at him distressedly, "But..."

"Don't worry, since I remember it, I will try my best to find it for you." Su Ji breathed a long sigh of relief after speaking.

Going home again.
