forensic hunter

Qi Ming came out of the shower and found Luo Jianan's holster thrown on the coffee table, and there was half-eaten bread beside him, but he was already lying on the sofa and sleeping deeply, obviously exhausted.Seeing Luo Jianan sleeping defenselessly, Qi Ming shook his head, turned around and went up to the second floor, took out a quilt from the cabinet and covered him with it.

Dim the lights in the living room, Qi Ming went to the mini bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey, sat at the computer desk on the balcony and looked at the night view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying this moment of peace.The balcony was transformed into a sun room by the landlord. There are no tall buildings near the exterior, with a wide view, and the overall structure of the house is his favorite style.For this, he gave Shao Chen, who helped find a house, a bottle of good wine as a thank you.

The screen of the phone lights up, and there is an email alert.Qi Ming opened it and saw that it was a consultation from a former colleague, asking him about what kind of cancer might be in a body that an insurance company requested for an autopsy, which would cause the whole body to be full of cancer cells but no primary lesion could be found.This is related to a huge amount of insurance compensation. If the primary lesion is found to be not covered by the policy, the insurance company can save a lot of money.A detailed diagnosis and treatment report and an autopsy report were attached to the email.The deceased was an African-American woman, and it was only two months from admission to death.The doctor failed to find out the primary lesion, and the autopsy did not expect to find out either.

Qi Ming carefully read each record while drinking whiskey.After drinking the wine in the glass and just finished reading the information, he moved his fingers to reply to the email: [It may be melanoma, although the probability of African-Americans suffering from this disease is extremely low, but the records show that she has one-half of Caucasian blood , it is necessary to consider the disease as the primary lesion.Moles can be found on the palms, soles of the feet, the lower edge of the nail plate, inner thighs and other light-skinned places for pathological sections. 】

Putting down the phone, Qi Ming got up and went to the kitchen to rinse the cup. Just after washing, he heard Luo Jianan's voice behind him: "Still sleeping...you are really good."

"immediately."

Turning off the faucet, Qi Ming looked back at Luo Jianan—the buddy had one leg riding on the back of the sofa, and his sleeping appearance was shockingly ugly.He was awakened by the sound of running water, muttering in a daze.Qi Ming didn't bother to talk to him, dried his cups and hands, turned off the small light on the mini bar, turned around and walked to the bedroom on the second floor in the dark.

"Wait..." Luo Jianan raised a hand, "Leave a light..."

Stepping on the floor lamp beside the sofa, Qi Ming saw Luo Jianan curling up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction through the dim light, which made him feel a little funny——

How old are you and still afraid of the dark?

Surveillance showed that Tang Jianxiao got on the No. 859 bus after leaving the hospital. Qiao Dawei and Xu Jie went to the bus company early in the morning to adjust the on-board surveillance, and did not return to the station until noon.

"The on-board monitoring shows that Tang Jianxiao got off at Dongpu Station." It was lunch time as usual, and Xu Jie pointed at the frozen frame with his chopsticks, "Dongpu is the largest old building area in the city that needs to be remodeled. Seriously, the wires and network cables are pulled in the air, and the road is narrow and vehicles cannot drive in."

"Are you sure Tang Jianxiao entered this area after getting off the car?" Fade Chen asked.

Qiao Dawei called up another video and said: "This was captured by the surveillance camera next to the bus station, and it was the last time Tang Jianxiao was captured. Since it has been included in the renovation plan, there are currently no law enforcement cameras installed in this area."

"Luo Jianan." Fade Chen tapped on the table, "Are you full?"

Luo Jianan held up a banana. "I haven't eaten the fruit after dinner."

"Leave it there, no one will steal it from you." Fade Chen glanced at Zhao Pingsheng, who lowered his head and smiled, and said to Luo Jianan seriously: "Aren't you afraid of being robbed of credit? Go to Dongpu now and ask me from house to house. Don't go back to sleep until Tang Jianxiao's whereabouts."

"No problem, boss, I'll sleep in the car before we find out." Luo Jianan stuffed a banana into Miao Hong's hand, "Master, watch it for me. If anyone dares to steal it, hit him for me."

As a result, Miao Hong peeled off the banana and ate it in front of Luo Jianan.

In the car, Qi Ming listened to Luo Jianan talking about how cold-blooded his master was, while answering emails to his former colleagues.A colleague found a cancerous mole on the inside of the deceased's vulva, and complained to him about the insurance company's claims investigator. After learning that the primary lesion was within the scope of the contract, a Caucasian face was darker than the deceased's.

Luo Jianan caught a glimpse of Qi Ming looking down at his phone from the corner of his eye, and reminded him, "Don't keep looking at your phone in the car, it's easy to get motion sickness."

"My third semicircular canal is functioning well, and I never get motion sickness." Qi Ming said, putting away his phone.

"Three what?"

"Semicircular canal, the organ that controls body balance in the inner ear of vertebrates." Raising his hand and knocking on the side of the ear, Qi Ming gave Luo Jianan a meaningful look, "Haven't seen it? I'll cut it open for you to have a look at the next autopsy."

"Thanks, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat cold pork ears in the future."

Luo Jianan forced a dry smile—cherish life and stay away from forensics.

Dongpu used to be the factory dormitory of a large state-owned factory. The factory was demolished during the reconstruction of the old city in the late 90s and moved to the industrial development zone. Most of the employees also moved there with the factory.Now most of the houses here are rented by migrants, and the roads are crowded with door-to-door houses on the first floor.Luo Jianan walked around the main road outside but couldn't find a parking place, so he had no choice but to drive the car on the sidewalk and park in the open space in front of a small supermarket.

The boss saw that an off-road vehicle was blocked at the door, and immediately walked out and knocked on the window beside Luo Jianan.After he pressed the car window, he yelled impatiently: "This is not allowed to park, move away, move away, the traffic police will come to post a ticket."

Luo Jianan flashed the police badge, opened the door and got out of the car.The boss saw that it was a policeman, and his expression became a little subtle. "Another fugitive hid in?"

Due to the intricate roads in the area and the many illegal buildings with low rents, Dongpu used to be a well-known hiding place for wanted criminals. In the past, the old police officers of the Criminal Investigation Division had "eight out of ten fugitives in Dongpu, and two On the way to Dongpu", such a statement.In recent years, many parties have worked together to improve the management of the floating population and the filing of housing leases. Now there are very few fugitives coming here again.

"Have you met this person?" Luo Jianan will not reveal the details of the case to unrelated persons. This is a rule, and he should be careful not to startle the snake. "There is a case that requires his assistance in the investigation."

The boss squinted at the photo and shook his head. "I have no impression. There are too many people here, and there is a lot of turnover. Those who come today and leave tomorrow, and those who come to buy things are regular customers."

Turning his head to look at Qi Ming, Luo Jianan motioned to continue to inquire.After asking about ten shops in a row, no one recognized Tang Jianxiao.Going further inside, there are two forked roads. Qi Ming took a photo with his mobile phone and asked Luo Jianan separately.But there was another fork in the road, and Qi Ming suddenly found himself lost in the cobweb-like alley while walking.The road in this place is oblique due to illegal construction, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction.The distance between the walls is only as wide as one person, and even the sky is squeezed into a line by the added roof.

It just so happened that Luo Jianan called and said that someone recognized Tang Jianxiao and asked him to meet him at the fork in the road where he had just separated.Qi Ming hung up the phone and went back to look for the way. To be honest, he was already dizzy now. Some alleys looked like he had just passed by, but when he entered, he found that he had never been there at all.But there is no front door for the store anymore, and he walked for 5 minutes without meeting a living person to ask for directions, but there are a few stray cats.

Luo Jianan called again to urge him, asking where he was.

"I don't know where I am either." Qi Ming told the truth, "I'm lost."

"Find someone to ask!"

"No one, I seem to have come to the innermost residential area."

"It's really troublesome." Luo Jianan was speechless impatiently, "You send me your location via WeChat, and I'll go pick you up. Stay where you are, don't run around!"

After sending out his location, Qi Ming stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for Luo Jianan to appear.A little black cat squatted on the fence and "meowed" at him, tilting its head and looking at the human curiously.Looking away from the cat, Qi Ming looked to the left and right, guessing where Luo Jianan would emerge from.

The quiet alley stretches narrowly, cramped and depressing, and at the end is a fence covered with small advertisements.There is no green here, only gray cement, weathered red bricks, and iron sheds reflecting sunlight.Feeling inexplicably bleak in his heart, Qi Ming suddenly realized that he hadn't expected others to appear for a long time.

Fortunately, Luo Jianan didn't make him wait too long, but the voice appeared before others: "Qi Ming? Qi Ming?"

Qi Ming looked around, and found that the voice was coming from the direction facing him. "I'm here." He responded.Immediately afterwards, Luo Jianan emerged from the wall opposite him, jumped down and patted the dust on his clothes while complaining: "Damn, how did you come in? I walked according to the location and there was no way. It took several yards to come."

"You must have missed a certain alley. When I just left, there was a place where I had to turn sideways." Qi Ming raised his hand to help him wipe the dust off his sleeves, "Which way do you go now?"

Luo Jianan looked around and pointed to the right. "This way."

"According to human behavior and habits, if you encounter a fork in the road when you get lost, choose to go left, and you are more likely to return to the entrance." Qi Ming looked at him seriously.

Luo Jianan laughed out loud: "Stop it, you still need me to pick up what you said is going to work?"

This time Qi Ming stopped talking.That's right, he kept turning to the left until he reached such a ghostly place where no one would find him even if he threw his body away.

------

Maybe he finally overwhelmed Qi Ming, Luo Jianan kept talking all the way——

"You said that you can't drive, you don't remember the way, and you always love to go out to work. Doesn't this cause me trouble?"

"Don't always believe what experts say, do you know if it's true or not?"

"Next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will report the missing person. Hey, what's your ID number?"

"Don't talk? You're too young—eh, Qi Ming?"

Luo Jianan's voice stopped abruptly when he turned his head, and Qi Ming disappeared again.Just followed it!Why is this lost again! ?He immediately turned back to look for it, and found that Qi Ming stopped at a corner he had just passed, leaning his head on the wall.Luo Jianan strode up to him, saw Qi Ming's face turned pale, and immediately reached out to help him by the arm.

"What's the matter? Dizziness?"

"Let me go!" Qi Ming's voice carried the tension and anxiety that Luo Jianan had never heard before.Before he could figure out what happened, Qi Ming broke free from his arms and walked forward while leaning on the wall. After taking two steps, he tripped over a piece of gravel.

"Hey! Watch carefully!" Luckily, Luo Jianan had long hands and legs, and stepped over to support Qi Ming, "What's the matter with you? Don't be brave if you don't feel well, I'll carry you on my back."

"I'm fine! Don't worry about it—" Qi Ming waved Luo Jianan's hand indiscriminately, and went to grope for the wall again.Seeing his probing look, Luo Jianan suddenly realized: "You can't see!?"

Qi Ming didn't speak.He touched the wall and leaned against it, gasping for breath, his eyes behind the glasses were distracted.Now Luo Jianan was really in a hurry, and he didn't care whether Qi Ming was willing to do it or not, so he set him up.Qi Ming failed to break free from his restraint, and felt that Luo Jianan was about to carry him on his back, and immediately said: "It's okay! It's just a burst of blindness, it will be fine in a few minutes!"

Luo Jianan stopped, turned to look at Qi Ming, and asked in surprise, "Have you ever had this problem before?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Ming nodded. "Congenital cerebrovascular malformations, which occasionally cause blindness due to ischemia, usually recover within seconds to minutes."

"This... occasionally... How often?" Luo Jianan raised his hand and shook it in front of Qi Ming, uh, he hasn't recovered yet.

In fact, Qi Ming's vision has begun to recover, he can vaguely see Luo Jianan slapping in front of his eyes, so he raised his hand and slapped away. "Not necessarily, sometimes it's okay for a few years, and sometimes it happens once in a month or two."

"No cure?" Luo Jianan withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

"If you undergo surgery, there is a 90.00% chance of causing permanent blindness." Qi Ming took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and rubbed his eyes, "But the blood supply capacity of malformed blood vessels will weaken with age, assuming I live long enough , and the final result will be to become blind."

Luo Jianan is sincerely sorry for what happened to Qi Ming, but he is not a comforter, never has been.So he held back for a long time before choking out a sentence——

"It's okay, even if you are blind, you are still a smart blind man."

I pray that the teacher will not be blind, I promise
