Warm Water Spirits

On the way to the first city criminal investigation team, Pei Zhe received a call from You Kuang.

The suspect died a quarter of an hour ago.

"The medicines were swapped, and the overdose was directly injected and died. The model is still 885. Because it is a special ward, medical staff need to check again when entering and leaving, so the murderer is temporarily ruled out. We are checking and monitoring, and people from the pharmacy department are also asking."

"I'll go over now." Pei Zhe turned the car around and went to the provincial hospital.

The sky was gloomy, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it looked like five or six o'clock.The cloud layer of lead ash was low and dense, and the temperature dropped a few degrees from that in the morning.

It is expected to snow.

Passing by the school gate of the attached middle school, Pei Zhe remembered that Aunt Song was going to put a sweater on Jiang Yunqi in the morning. The sound of rubbing downstairs.

Aunt Song had no choice but to go into the room and find a thin down jacket with long sleeves, "Mr. Pei, let Yun Qi wear it inside. The scarf doesn't work, what should I do if the vest catches cold?"

Pei Zhe thought so, and ordered Jiang Yunqi to put it on when he got in the car.

Jiang Yunqi took it and held it in his arms, dawdling: "I will wear it a second before I get off the car."

Jiang Yunqi seems to be particularly obsessed with the seconds.

Two seconds is enough, give him three seconds, one second will be enough.and so on.None of them delivered.

"Put it on in a second?" Pei Zhe didn't force it, and suggested, "Put it on 5 minutes before getting off the bus."

Jiang Yunqi smiled at him.

The eighth floor of the provincial hospital was under martial law. When Pei Zhe arrived, Pei Yue was cooperating with the police to check the duty records of the pharmacy department.

Pei Yue is in charge of the pharmacy department.

Seeing Pei Zhe, Pei Yue didn't ask anything, "I'll be busy until night. You call Wencuo and ask him to remember to pick up Wenwen."

"Pei Si."

You Kuang just came over at this moment, holding a document in his hand, and behind him were two serious-looking criminal policemen.

"how is it now?"

Pei Zhe nodded, but couldn't get through to Wencuo's phone number, so he sent Aunt Song a message to remind him.

"At present, there are two possible doubts. The medicine was changed halfway, or the murderer replaced the medicine at the beginning."

"Did the monitoring result?"

Pei Zhe took back his phone, and took one of the documents from You Kuang, which was a few frames of elevator surveillance images.

You Kuang pointed to the bottom left of the image, "The pharmacy department is on the fifth floor. The deceased's medicines were taken from the fifth floor to the eighth floor by nurse Cui from the pharmacy department. The elevator stopped on the seventh floor for six seconds. A man in a denim jacket entered. There were eight people in the elevator at that time. The man was the closest to Nurse Cui, but the surveillance camera only captured his back, and did not capture him dropping his bag. After that, the man did not go down to the eighth floor, but went to the fifteenth floor. The last time he appeared was The exit of the safe passage on the first floor of the hospital."

A man in a denim jacket and a white mask.The back looks very thin, about 1.7 meters tall, always hunched over looking at the ground, wearing a black wool cap.

Pei Zhe stared at it for a few seconds, then handed the document back to You Jin, "What did your investigation say?"

You Kuang looked at a criminal policeman behind him, "I'm older than you, tell me." Then he turned to Pei Zhe and said, "Pei Si, this is the most experienced criminal policeman in the team, Yu Feng. He served three times in the Suihu Army." Year."

Pei Zhe and Yu Feng looked at each other.

Yu Feng nodded towards Pei Zhe, "Pei Si".

Pei Zhe looked at him, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Feng smiled, without saying anything, and continued following You Kuang's words: "We can't be sure that this man is the murderer. But there is one thing, from the time the murderer entered the hospital to when he left, no fingerprints were left anywhere in the scene. "

"He's cautious."

"Has the source of 885 been found out?"

"The owner of the flower shop on Zhinan Road has been detained, but he has always denied knowing about 885. However, it is mentioned that he did see the deceased. The owner also said he did not know about the black Volkswagen."

"Now the crux of the problem is, since the boss only saw the deceased, why did the deceased use the jacquard shop when he explained the source of 885? The black public has been burned down, and the flower shop seems to have nothing to do with these two cases. What is it trying to say?"

Everyone, including Pei Zhe, was silent for a moment.

The clues seem to come to an abrupt end.

Like some kind of signal.If it is just a coincidence that a new type of drug is added to a murder case, the people behind it will stop it, and no one present will believe it.

It's more like a short splash of sparks before a blast.

As for the deeper reasons——

Pei Zhe thought of the black people mentioned by You Kuang and himself entering the parking lot of Guangmao Commercial Building one after the other, and the blurry shadow he saw in the sewage on the ground...

You Kuang happened to be looking at Pei Zhe at this moment, and he also thought of the black crowd who inexplicably followed to the parking lot and then caught fire for no reason, "Pei Si—"

"Let's get here first. Thank you for your hard work."

Pei Zhe pressed the voice button, and Yu Feng took another criminal policeman into the pharmacy department to continue to check for possible clues inside the hospital.

"Pei Si..." You Kuang hesitated to speak.

Pei Zhe just said, "It's been too long, don't startle the snake."

Pei Yue arranged for the nurse on duty in the morning and several colleagues from the department to meet with the police one by one, and Pei Zhe stayed with them until after eight o'clock in the evening.

Aunt Song called and said that Wenwen had come back with Yunqi, and the two children were doing their homework after dinner.

"Where's Wencuo?" Pei Yue was a little tired, sitting on the plastic bench in the corridor, raising her head and closing her eyes.

"We had dinner together. I didn't tell him what happened here."

Pei Zhe glanced at the time, and pulled Pei Yue up to eat in the hospital cafeteria.

"Yeah." Pei Yue nodded, went back to the office, changed her clothes, came out and said, "He can't help much here, let him have a good rest. He just had an eight-hour operation last night."

"And now I get angry whenever I see him. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself when someone comes."

Pei Zhe smiled, and said after a while, "Sister, Wenwen is quite assertive. You should rest assured."

Pei Yue glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What about Yun Qi?"

Pei Zhe was slightly taken aback, not understanding.

It gets colder at night.

There were few people on the road, and the shadows of the street lamps were white, as if covered with frost.There were several police cars parked in the distance, and their particularly conspicuous red and blue police lights flashed continuously in the cold and dark night.

"It's Yun Qi, don't you worry?" Pei Yue shrugged.

Pei Zhe put his arms around Pei Yue's shoulders, smiled for a while and said, "I have nothing to worry about. Yun Qi is a boy. Boys should go out to exercise."

Pei Yue looked up at her younger brother with a suspicious expression.

Then, I heard Pei Zhe say without changing his face: "But Yun Qi is too young now. His health is not good. Let's talk about it when he grows up and recovers." After speaking, Pei Zhe rarely showed a kind of "I said It’s all the truth, we all know” with an overly candid expression.

Pei Yue didn't bother to expose Pei Zhe's cover-up, so she made a low-pitched sound.

After the siblings had dinner, Pei Zhe still wanted to stay with Pei Yue.

Pei Yue didn't let him go, and drove him back, "By the way, help me with my ideological work. Wenwen is afraid of you, and she dare not not listen to you. That guy Wencuo, let him sleep on the floor!" Pei Yue laughed as she spoke. "Pei Zhe, do you think our Pei family is naturally suitable for singing bad faces?"

Pei Zhe didn't know what to say.

It did snow.

On the way back, thin snow particles rolled in front of the car one by one, and after a while, there were strands of transparent traces winding down.The neon lights near and far are intertwined, and the colorful shadows are reunited in the snow water, which is a very small brilliance.

As soon as he turned off the engine and got out of the car, and walked back along the path, Pei Zhe heard Wenwen's high-pitched and thin voice: "Little uncle!"

Pei Zhe smiled back, remembering who it was.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Jiang Yunqi's angry voice came: "It's not a big deal. Go back quickly. I haven't finished my homework yet, Brother Pei will be angry again when he comes back..."

Pei Zhe smiled at the sound.

"You are so timid." Wenwen elongated her voice.

"You are so brave that you dare to throw the door at your mother."

"I'm not afraid of her!"

Wenwen immediately became full of aura, with the courage of a woman who is not afraid of chaos, and called each one by name: "My father is afraid of her, my uncle is afraid of her, and you are also afraid of her, little uncle. I am not afraid of her!"

Pei Zhe shook his head with a smile. This momentum was a replica of his sister.

"That's enough, that's enough! You are amazing! Can your ancestor go back?" Wen Cuo's voice came from the corridor, chasing the two of them downstairs, and the father was very helpless: "I want to pull Yunqi down— - Your little uncle is not in good health, what should I do if he catches a cold?"

This will be silent.

After a while, Wenwen sighed, "Little uncle, you are so weak."

Jiang Yunqi didn't seem to know how to answer, or was choked, and didn't say anything for a few seconds.

Wen Cuo laughed uncontrollably while teaching his ignorant daughter: "Can the little girl stop being so arrogant? When the uncle comes back later, you still have such a loud voice? Such sarcasm? You are not afraid of your uncle's look—— Pei Zhe?"

Pei Zhe turned around the corner of the building and appeared in front of the three of them.

Wenwen, who was originally standing aside with a mighty and loud voice, was stunned for a moment when she saw Pei Zhe approaching suddenly, and then she became more obedient. She walked to her father, took his hand, and lowered her head to call out, "Uncle."

"Yeah." Pei Zhe saw an exaggerated smile in Wen Cuo's eyes.

Wen Cuo stroked his daughter's ponytail and gloated: "Wenwen? Wenwen? Why aren't you talking?"

Wenwen looked exactly like Pei Yue when she had a straight face.

Wencuo continued to tease her, while Wenwen looked at his father bored.

Pei Zhe looked up to Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi stood not far behind Wen's father and daughter, his whole body was made by Aunt Song.Wrapped in thick down, tied with a knotted scarf, and wearing a furry brown hat, the whole upper body is super tight, revealing a pair of dark blue eyes, and a reddish nose tip.

"Brother Pei." Jiang Yunqi looked closely at Pei Zhe, pulled down his scarf and let out a mouthful of white mist.

Pei Zhe walked over and pulled him up, "Let's go."

Jiang Yunqi looked back at Wenwen and Wencuo. The father and daughter had already started sprinting back and forth, "What about them?"

"When it's cold, you'll know you're back."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

This family relationship is quite weak.

"Brother Pei, have you had dinner yet?"

"have eaten."

"Brother Pei, are you busy today?"

"not busy."

"Brother Pei, are you cold?"

Pei Zhe bent his lips, "Not cold".

Jiang Yunqi nodded and looked down at Pei Zhe holding his palm, "Brother Pei, I haven't finished my homework yet..."

"Go back and do it."

"Aunt Song said, brother-in-law Wen and Wenwen sleep in your room, and you sleep with me?"

Jiang Yunqi licked his lips and spoke softly.

Pei Zhe nodded, "The heating in the guest room is insufficient. Wencuo and the others only slept for one night."

"Oh……"

Jiang Yunqi was disappointed.
