Netherworld Investigator

It was time for lunch break, so Xiao Ziyue had to leave first.

Wen Baifan added a heart too soft, and the delicate silver spoon broke open the soft cake, and the molten chocolate sprayed out a rich aroma.He contentedly scooped up a mouthful and put it in his mouth.

"As Ma Qiu said, the operation was successful, but it left sequelae." The black coffee in Qiao Kejun's cup had gradually lost its heat, "His right hand can still maintain daily life, but because of the motor nerve Damaged, intermittent convulsions and spasms, which meant that Rong Guang could no longer continue to work as a surgeon."

In the treatment plan that Ma Qiu made for him, there was a high probability that it would cause hemiplegia.Therefore, even though there is only the possibility of recovery through surgery, Rong Guang is not willing to gamble the dignity of the surgeon, which is why he insists on conservative positioning radiation therapy.

According to nurse Xiao Ziyue, Rong Guang asked her for a pair of medical rubber gloves before committing suicide.

"At the beginning, I thought the strangest thing was, why did the deceased commit suicide with a gun?" Qiao Kejun said, "We are in a country with strict gun control, and as a surgeon, he could have chosen countless comparisons. More reasonable tools for killing, such as scalpels, drugs, syringes and even a hose, are all easier to operate than shooting suicide."

He let out a sigh of relief, "Later, I figured it out, maybe Rongguang couldn't accept the fact that a scalpel was used to end a person's life."

"But why did he put on medical gloves before committing suicide?" Wen Baifan was a little puzzled.

"Occupational diseases, you have to wear gloves if you get blood." Qiao Kejun spread the tablet computer on the table, which displayed the investigation documents found in the electronic database sent by Luo Fei, and he analyzed, "In Rongguang's gloves In fact, the forensic doctor detected the traces of gunpowder residue and blood spattering caused by the suicide shooting, and this evidence cannot be forged afterwards."

"That is to say, the police have no problem with the conclusion of this case. Rong Guang did not die by homicide. He fired the fatal shot himself."

"Yes."

Wen Baifan took a sip of the syrup-stained spoon and said, "However, wouldn't it be a bit too hasty to commit suicide in a hospital ward just because there is no way to get on the operating table again? Indeed, suicide is usually the result of a person in an extreme situation. However, Rongguang did not take action until two days after confirming the damage to his right hand. He also asked the lawyer to take the gun out of the safe that was rented by the bank, indicating that his death was not the result of impulsiveness. It was a thoughtful and planned act."

"Looking into the minds of suicides is not strictly within our scope of work."

"This case was originally not within the scope of our work." Wen Baifan smiled, "I just don't quite understand it."

"His goal is not death itself." Qiao Kejun picked up the small silver spoon next to the mug that was used to stir hot drinks, reached for Wen Baifan's cake, and took a small bite into his mouth. "Ending the pain, calming the chaotic heart, this is the product of his thinking and planning."

"Is it really possible for a person to go to death without hesitation while maintaining reason?" Wen Baifan hesitated, "Could it be that during this period, something happened to interfere with his mind, which finally led to this unfortunate ending? After all, it is a brain operation involving the nervous system, so is there a possibility that the treatment methods adopted by the doctor may cause the patient to lose control of his emotions?"

Qiao Kejun took a sip of the cold coffee, and the sour taste that was hard to swallow spread from the tip of his tongue. He said slowly: "The development of medicine and technology makes human beings think they can dominate everything. But We are just the smallest part of the huge and sophisticated system that makes up ourselves." People are used to dividing their spiritual world into two, telling themselves that one side is rational and the other is emotion, but in fact, the two The boundaries are blurred.It is often not rationality that governs our daily behavior, but chemicals such as dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin, and more.

"Hormones constitute our emotions, our choices are manipulated by emotions, and who knows that rationality itself is not a poor illusion created by hormones?" Qiao Kejun said.

Seven years ago, only one year after Qiao Kejun became an attending physician from a resident physician, Director Shen Siyuan promoted him to be the youngest deputy director of the department of Shengci Hospital.

Soon, the investigation of Fu Jianbang's charitable funds, which caused a sensation all over the country, kicked off.

As a personal secretary, Fang Qihang followed Fu Jianbang to many public occasions. Because of his youth and handsomeness, he also received a lot of positive attention.In this investigation, he will inevitably be affected by many.

Among the police officers in charge of this case is Detective Wang, who has been working on collecting evidence of Fu Jianbang's secret money laundering for so many years.After observation, Inspector Wang decided to lock the young secretary under 27 years old as the key breakthrough point of the case, and started a protracted mental tug-of-war with him without violating the rules or playing around the corner.

Under the aggressive offensive of this sophisticated police officer, Fang Qihang's emotions were on the verge of collapse.And during a closed interrogation that lasted dozens of hours, seeing that Fang Qihang was about to be unable to bear the tremendous psychological pressure and reveal important information, who knew that at this time, he suddenly fainted in the interrogation room and had to Immediately send to the hospital for first aid.

At that time, it was Qiao Kejun who was nominated by Dean Shen to be the attending doctor.

Detective Wang is not ignorant of the personal relationship between Shen Siyuan and Fu Jianbang. Such an assignment makes him suspect that Qiao Kejun has been ordered to use surgery to murder important witnesses, thus interrupting his painstaking investigation.

The man raised his gun against the forehead of the attending doctor, threatening him that if any accident occurred during the operation, he would not hesitate to abandon the position of the police to make Qiao Kejun suffer the same accident.

Qiao Kejun poked his gun away expressionlessly, put on the mask slowly, turned around and entered the disinfection room.

Detective Wang is already a little crazy. Being too focused is the easiest way to fall into ego.Over the years, no matter how hard he tried, the suspect was like a slippery fish, always able to escape from his hands.

Fang Qihang is his last chance, and he must not let it go.

For a full six hours, Detective Wang hid motionlessly in the dark, staring at the door of the operating room until the red warning light went out.

Qiao Kejun walked out of the operating room, except for his slightly tired eyes, his expression was as calm as when he entered.

The moment the operation was announced to be successful, ecstasy swept Inspector Wang's mind.

He won the bet, and the witness Fang Qihang was rescued.

Unexpectedly, just two days after the successful operation, Fang Qihang left a suicide note and fell down to commit suicide.

Fu Jianbang announced the entire content of the suicide note to the media at the press conference. In that short note, Fang Qihang implicitly pointed out the psychological violence the police had imposed on him. At the same time, Inspector Wang used Images of guns threatening doctors were also released on the spot.

Faced with huge pressure from public opinion, the prosecution was caught off guard and had no choice but to demote all the police and related personnel involved in the incident, and the investigation on the money laundering case came to a halt.

It can be said that Fang Qihang's death allowed the almost doomed Fu Group to fight back. It's no wonder that many people speculated whether Fu Jianbang, as the biggest beneficiary of this incident, had done any shady tricks in secret .

Probably only Qiao Kejun knew that the day before Fang Qihang committed suicide, Lin Li, who was only Fu Jianbang's personal assistant at that time, came to visit him, and Fu Jianbang himself, out of consideration of avoiding suspicion, did not visit Fang Qihang once after Fang Qihang was admitted to the hospital. meet him.

"I've heard that a loyal knight should be the strongest shield, not a deadly weapon."

In the ward across the door, Lin Li stepped on high heels, bent down gracefully, and carefully placed a bunch of pure white calla lilies into the vase in front of the bed.

"You can say what you want to say directly, and you don't need to hint at beating around the bush." ​​Fang Qihang's tone was quite calm, but the words he said were slightly thorny, "I don't know if Ms. Lin has heard of the idiom that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Today he You can abandon me in order to prevent future troubles, and one day, when you become in the way, he will also abandon you without hesitation."

"Secretary Fang, don't think too much about it. Mr. Fu didn't instruct me to come." Lin Lijiao laughed and said, "I'm here today to tell you good news..."

On the low mahogany table, the dark red wine in the pot-bellied decanting jug exudes a rich aroma.

"The media is still squatting outside the hospital, I suggest you stay here for a few more days." Shen Siyuan slowly poured red wine into the goblet, "Those reporters are a bit annoying, but it's okay to offend them, after all There are a lot of places where we need to rely on them."

"I'm very relieved about the things you arranged." Fu Jianbang played with the wine glass in his hand, and the light refracted down, gently shaking the psychedelic light, "It's really thanks to Dean Shen's great help all these years .”

These words are not polite. A few years ago, the scientific research team of the private Shengci Hospital caused a sensation in the medical world with the Prometheu neural artificial cell technology. Under Si Yuan's single-handed manipulation and promotion, all this turned into an opportunity to turn into huge wealth.

A sustained-release capsule named "Dawn" is the star product of Fushi Pharmaceuticals, and it is also a well-known and best-selling health care product.Contemporary urbanites are suffering from various psychological problems and mental illnesses, and this capsule is vigorously promoted as an over-the-counter health care drug.Manufacturers claim that the drug chemically regulates the production of certain neurotransmitters, thereby alleviating the effects of feelings of emptiness, depression, anger, pain and hopelessness in humans.Many consumers suffering from mild depression and anxiety have given quite positive feedback after taking Dawn. This capsule was even hailed as a "painless frontal lobotomy".

The huge profits earned by Dawn's production line alone are enough to make its manufacturer the most powerful pharmaceutical group in the country in one fell swoop, and this new drug uses a patented technology in the Prometheu project.

Xue Mingyuan has won the trust of Dean Shen over the years, and he has officially obtained the right to enter the top circle of the hospital. Naturally, it is not only because of his smooth and thoughtful way of life, but the most important reason is that Xue Mingyuan is the person in charge of the Prometheus scientific research team. people.With such an authoritative expert on the platform, Dawn's road to promotion is naturally much smoother, and the general public has no doubts about the safety of this capsule.

Even if there are occasional professionals who try to express their concerns about drug abuse, they will be immediately disturbed by the trolls of the Internet - exposing personal morality, diverting attention, slandering for no reason, and various methods of attacking dissidents emerge in an endless stream.Obviously, the manipulators of public opinion are sophisticated and insightful. Those old-fashioned scholars who express their opinions purely for professional issues have never seen such a situation, so the discussion about Dawn's security often ends.

Fu Jianbang knows nothing about medicine. He is a cruel and greedy businessman in essence. Xue Mingyuan can bring him benefits, so he naturally does not hesitate to spend money on publicity. Through the media, he will portray Xue Mingyuan as a generation of famous doctors. image.Anyway, this is a win-win thing.

He looked up at Xue Mingyuan, who was sitting on the sofa respectfully, with his upper body leaning forward slightly, explaining to him the situation of Lin Li's operation that day in a series of extremely complicated terms.

"The person is already dead, so there is no need to say more about this." Fu Jianbang waved his hand with a lack of interest, and changed the topic, "You have to keep an eye on the research and development of Light, the studio is ready, and when the staff is ready After that, we can start the project after a year.”

Xue Mingyuan immediately assured with joy: "Mr. Fu, don't worry, the Light series will definitely continue the glory of Dawn. We have formed a huge consumer group. If health capsules have instilled in consumers the correct idea that prevention is better than cure, then this kind of gas Mist medicinal aromatherapy will be a revolution in lifestyle, I believe..."

"Okay, you can just keep saying this to the media." Fu Jianbang clicked his tongue, interrupting his eloquence, and Xue Mingyuan didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, as if he was used to this big man. The boss does his own thing. "In short, I have invested a large amount of money in this production line, and I don't want to be caught by the people from the Food and Drug Administration."

"It's natural, there will be absolutely no problem." Xue Mingyuan's eyeballs moved, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dean Shen on the opposite side nodding calmly.

"Wen Tao, send Dr. Xue downstairs." Fu Jianbang took another sip of wine and said to the silent young man behind him.

"Yes." Zhou Wentao replied.

After the two left, Shen Siyuan couldn't help but tease: "After so many years, Wen Tao's temperament is still the same."

"One muzzled gourd." Fu Jianbang clicked his tongue, but his tone didn't seem dissatisfied. "Back when Lin Li introduced him to take Xiao Fang's place, I wasn't very happy. I didn't expect this kid to be good at handling things despite his few words."

Fu Jianbang discussed the dead woman as usual as if he was talking about the weather, not only was there no sadness on his face, even a trace of sadness was hard to find.In recent years, Lin Li has become arrogant and jealous, interfering in his romantic life has long made Fu Jianbang very dissatisfied.

If it's just pure jealousy, after all, old couples and young wives can still be regarded as sexual intercourse if they are careful, but Lin Li shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, shouldn't rely on her knowing a lot of secrets, and use this as an excuse to threaten and challenge own authority as a husband.

Lin Li was not like this in the past.

Back then, she was Fu Jianbang's personal assistant in name, but actually she was one of his few lovers.But compared to other mistresses who are only interested in money, Lin Li's strength and ambition are obviously higher.In terms of beauty, although she is excellent, she is not outstanding. The most distinctive thing about Lin Li is her empathy, and she is especially good at trying to figure out the mind of the benefactor.

For some things, Fu Jianbang didn't even need to say it, she could understand and handle it properly for him, so she has always been favored.

Seven years ago, Lin Li stood out from many mistresses and became the legitimate mistress of the Fu family.And the reason behind this is also because she skillfully solved a secret matter that cannot be revealed for the benefactor, which just saved Fu Jianbang who was in the mire.

The cause of Lin Li's death was not the postoperative death as claimed in the manuscript, but the real situation, no matter how you looked at it, was a bit weird.

On the night after the operation, a patient shot himself in the special inpatient department on the 22nd floor. At that time, the head nurse Feng Baoyi passed by Lin Li's ward. She wanted to check on the patient's condition, but was surprised to find that Lin Li was in a coma. The oxygen mask was removed, and he died of suffocation.

What was even more creepy was that a pure white and flawless calla lily appeared out of nowhere on her chest that had stopped breathing.

The city has plenty of sunshine, and the climate is especially suitable for plant growth. It is full of flowers all year round. Calla lily is not a rare flower species.But for Fu Jianbang, the calla lily that suddenly appeared on top of Lin Li's corpse had an extraordinary symbolic meaning.

Seven years ago, at Fang Qihang's funeral, this kind of flowers were everywhere in sight, and Fu Jianbang was particularly impressed.

This was not an accident, but an unspoken murder.A pair of invisible hands opened up the dust-laden past that had long been unwilling to be mentioned. All the murderer's actions seemed to vaguely point to seven years ago.

"Seven" is a number closely related to the undead in a certain taboo psychology.

Fu Jianbang believes in karma at his core. In his opinion, behind Lin Li's bizarre death is a strong sense of fate.This is also the reason why he has always avoided asking about the cause of Lin Li's death. Fang Qihang's suicide incident has always been a knot between him and that woman.

Fang Qihang was an orphan without any relatives or companions. He left this world alone when he was only 27 years old, but the affairs behind him were handled with great grandeur.

Fu's funeral expenses were solely undertaken by Fu, and Fu Jianbang himself also attended.

This is of course out of the consideration of conforming to public opinion. The funeral is not so much to commemorate the dead, but rather to send a signal to those who are still alive.However, even though there were demonstrations and show-offs mixed in, Fu Jianbang still felt a little guilty about this young man.

Fu Jianbang claimed to be a person with clear grievances and grievances all his life. Back then, Lin Li forced Fang Qihang to death. Although this action violated his principles, it also effectively solved the predicament he was facing at that time.That's why he decided to marry this woman home, give her the identity and affluent material life he dreamed of, but treat her coldly for a long time, so as to balance his inner contradiction.

Of course, there was another important reason that he didn't want to admit, and that was Lin Li's vicious scheming hidden under the gentle and harmless appearance that frightened him.This woman refused to say from the beginning to the end how she made Fang Qihang willing to die, but it was this understatement of confidence that made people shudder.

"You mean, Dr. Lu took the backup of the surveillance video from the day before yesterday? It appeared with him... Okay, I understand." Shen Siyuan hung up the phone.

Fu Jianbang frowned, "What's going on, is someone investigating Lin Li's affairs?"

"It's a coincidence." Shen Siyuan sighed softly, "This person was Secretary Fang's attending doctor. After he resigned, I haven't seen him for many years. I just didn't know that he suddenly appeared in the hospital , what is the purpose?"

At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and after a while, Zhou Wentao pushed the door open.

"It's just in time to come back. Go and investigate a person for me. What's his name?" Fu Jianbang looked at Dean Shen.

Shen Siyuan smiled thoughtfully, and slowly read Qiao Kejun's name.
