Chapter 27: Drowning

After a long while, Lin Xi returned to the office, and he really wasted all his efforts to persuade the family members to calm down first.

Armand walked over with a lot of documents in his hands.

"Lin Xi, come and see this. ”

In his hand was Tong Mei's dossier, her personal profile, which recorded her attendance from elementary school until she graduated from university.

"You see, she was punished when she was in high school, does this have anything to do with the case?"

"The details of the punishment do not appear in the file, we can only know that it is a serious violation of school rules, so we have to call her high school to ask. ”

Lin Xi looked at the school on the file, searched for the school's contact information and called.

Wei Chenwan sat at the desk, listening to Lin Xi's situation.

But the time has passed four o'clock, and it should be that the school's academic affairs office has already gotten off work, and no one has picked it up.

Lin Xi hung up the arc and snorted.

Why is this thing so difficult, and it is also to blame that he did not arrange his work in a short time.

Lin Xi didn't give up, started from the school's official website, found a personal mobile phone, called it, and it took a long time before anyone answered, he directly stated his purpose, obviously the teacher who answered the phone was stunned for a moment, and stammered a few words.

Obviously, this teacher has never encountered this matter, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Lin Xi almost ran out of patience, or he guided the teacher step by step what to do, and finally the teacher said that she couldn't find the information now, and she could only go to work tomorrow.

This can be regarded as a matter with a result.

Lin Xi continued to watch the surveillance with Su Xiaopu.

"Team Lin, look at this place, should we go to the scene to make a comparison. ”

Su Xiaopu meant to go to the scene to see how big the scope of the dead end was and how wide the feasible road was.

"Okay, let's go together, Wei Chenwan, you can go home too, just after the work is over, you can go home." ”

Wei Chenwan nodded, in the car, Su Xiaopu was still watching a few questionable videos on the tablet, and he was going to the property today to take over a few surveillance videos.

When he arrived at the urban home, Su Xiaopu first went to synchronize all the video surveillance to his tablet, and then began to proofread the monitoring range.

Lin Xi walked under the surveillance, Su Xiaopu looked at the tablet, and first looked at the range of the two doors of the community.

"Team Lin, if you go a little further to the left, the surveillance will be out of sight. ”

Wei Chenwan took the tape and made two marks on the ground.

"Okay, next. ”

The three of them walked to the back door of the community.

Wei Chenwan is more familiar with them, and tells them about the management of the community on weekdays.

"The back door of the community will be closed after 10 o'clock in the evening, and the security guards guarding the back door will also leave, but the back door is just the kind of movable retractable door, very short, you can turn in directly, there is no difficulty, after what happened, the community is only equipped with patrol security 24 hours a day. ”

Lin Xi walked from left to right, and Su Xiaopu commanded Wei Chenwan to apply tape.

"Your back door is a hidden danger. Lin Xi complained.

"Team Lin, we have to hurry, it's getting dark early, and the line of sight is narrowed, and we can't see clearly. ”

At the end of November, when the autumn is about to enter winter, the night begins to come faster and go slower, and in the dark night, the scope of monitoring is even more limited, not to mention monitoring, and even what the human eye sees is not as good as the day.

The urban home is an old community, and the basic hardware is not as good as the new community, so there are not many street lighting facilities, but such a bad thing has not happened for so many years, because the community is in the center of the location, and it should be safer than remote areas.

After several surveillance, two suspicious videos were eliminated, and the suspicious figures were images outside the community.

Su Xiaopu collected the monitoring in his hand, which is equivalent to the completion of data collection.

"We're going back to the team first, you can go straight home. ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

Wei Chenwan also remembered that she hadn't thrown away the bag of garbage last night, and now she was ready to throw it away.

Lin Xi always likes to park her car in the surface parking lot downstairs of her apartment, because looking up from this angle, you can directly see the window of her living room.

Wei Chenwan took her bag from Lin Xi's car, said goodbye to the two colleagues, and went upstairs.

Su Xiaopu sat in the co-pilot, saw that Lin Xi started the car, and didn't drive out.

"Shall we not go?"

Lin Xi smiled faintly: "Wait a while." ”

Wei Chenwan was holding the bag and was looking for the key, the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, and she took the key to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard a sound in the house before she could take two steps to touch the light in the living room.

Wei Chenwan's whole person was still.

She stood still and didn't dare to move, and heard what seemed to be the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Could it be that she forgot to turn off the faucet when she left today?

I didn't change my shoes and went to the bathroom.

She was dumbfounded by the scene in the bathroom, the faucet in the bathtub was on, and it was almost filled with water, how could this be possible, she almost didn't use the bathtub, she always only used the shower room.

Suddenly, an answer flashed through her mind.

There are people in the house.

She took out her phone from her pocket, and before she could open the lock screen of her phone in a hurry, a black shadow flashed behind her, and the scream stuck in her throat and didn't come out, her upper body was pressed into the bathtub, and the phone slid into the bathtub.

Her heart raced with fear, her oxygen consumption increased dramatically, her head was pressed into the water, and her hands were thrown backwards, trying to push the person behind her away, but the man was so strong that her legs began to kick behind her.

She really couldn't breathe, her lungs hurt so much, and the voices around her felt smaller and smaller.

Lin Xi sat in the car, calculated the time, and looked up against the window glass, why hadn't the lights been turned on yet?

He always has free time, but this time should be enough to go upstairs and downstairs for a round trip.

Lin Xi thought of her saying that she seemed to have had a face-to-face relationship with the suspect the night before, and when he thought of this, he suddenly opened the car door.

"You wait for me for a moment. Chong Xiaopu said.

Lin Xi ran into the apartment building, and his impatience made him press the elevator button, but as soon as the elevator went down slowly from the 18th floor, Lin Xi scolded and rushed straight to the safe passage.

He kept reminding himself that things should be in a good direction, in case she just had her own business and didn't turn on the lights in time.

Wei Chenwan's family lived on the ninth floor, and Lin Xi took three steps in one step, and turned several times to reach the ninth floor.

"Wei Chenwan!"

As soon as Lin Xi came out of the stairwell, he shouted and saw that the door of Wei Chenwan's house was hidden, and it backfired.

Not good, maybe something really happened.

He rushed into Wei Chenwan's house, turned on the light in the living room, but didn't see her.

"Wei Chenwan!"

No one answered, and the sound of trickling water came from his ears, Lin Xi went straight to the bathroom, and the scene in front of him almost made him forget to breathe.

Wei Chenwan knelt on the ground, her upper body lying motionless on the edge of the bathtub.

"Wei Chenwan!"

Lin Xi turned her over and touched her neck with his fingers, but it was frighteningly quiet, and his fingers didn't feel the beating that should exist under that thin layer of skin, and even his chest didn't rise and fall.

Lin Xi put her flat on the ground, thinking about the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in his mind, he kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down, he wanted to save people.

The two hands clasped up and down and pressed on Wei Chenwan's chest, silently counting thirty heart compressions in his heart, and then leaned over to give her the air in his mouth, and so on again and again.

"No, Wei Chenwan, you can't do this. ”

Lin Xi looked at the apartment building that Wei Chenwan walked into, watched this living person walk in, and five minutes later she appeared in his sight lying here, and even her hands began to feel cold.

"Wei Chenwan, you can't leave me, I like you so much......"

This sentence likes to be on Lin Xi's lips, he wanted to say it several times, and he held back several times, he wanted to find a good time to say it, but now the person he wanted to confess was lying there motionless.

"Wake up, talk to me. ”

Lin Xi continued to give her a ferry.

I don't know how long it took for Wei Chenwan to spit out a mouthful of water.

Lin Xi was almost weak, touched her neck, and the slightest throbbing reappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was something he wanted to say in his heart, and he was really afraid that the person in front of him would disappear like this.

He put his hand around her neck and pulled her into his arms, bringing her close to him.

"Wei Chenwan, you must not leave me, I like you, I like you......"

Lin Xi felt that her body was still very cold, so he came back to his senses, picked up the person, and ran out.

Su Xiaopu sat in the car and waited for a long time, what did Lin Xi do, he didn't come back for so long, was he whispering to Wei Chenwan?

Thinking of this, he almost laughed, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Xi running out of the apartment building, holding Wei Chenwan in his hand.

"WOC, what's the matter?"

"Xiaopu, you drive, go to the hospital. ”

Su Xiaopu didn't have time to ask the second reason, so he hurriedly got into the cab and drove the car out.

Lin Xi sat in the back row with Wei Chenwan in his arms, and Su Xiaopu wanted to see the situation clearly through the rearview mirror, but now he didn't dare to ask about the situation, he could only see Lin Xi's red eyes.

"Hurry up a bit, I'll tell you later. ”

Lin Xi knew that Su Xiaopu wanted to ask but didn't ask, so he simply let him drive with peace of mind, he didn't know how long Wei Chenwan had been drowning upstairs, he was afraid that there would be irreversible damage to her body beyond the time, he was not a doctor, so he didn't know what to do, especially when he was so flustered.

Sometimes it is really impossible to deny that he can't keep calm all the time, and when he solves the case, he has encountered tricky situations and difficult suspects, but it doesn't make him messy and panicked like this time.

Su Xiaopu found the nearest hospital, and Lin Xi ran to the emergency department with someone in his arms.

As he ran, he shouted, "Someone!"

The nurse inside quickly ran over when she heard this, and pushed a bed on the other side.

"What's wrong with the patient, did he pass out?"

"Drowning. ”

Lin Xi handed over the person to them, and as soon as the weight of his hand left his hand, it was as if he had drained his last bit of strength, and he almost sat on the ground.

Su Xiaopu stopped the car and ran in, and helped Lin Xi from behind.

"Lin Xi. ”

The two of them followed the nurse to the emergency room, and watched the nurses bring her a ventilator in an orderly manner, and the doctor in the emergency room came to check on her and arranged a series of examinations.

"Are the patient's family there?"

Lin Xi stepped forward and said, "Me." ”

"The patient's head and lungs need to be taken, as well as an electrocardiogram and blood routine, and I will give you the list and pay for it first. ”

Lin Xi took out the list and ran to the window to pay, fortunately, the hospital had opened the mobile phone payment function, otherwise he would not have a penny by his side.

After Wei Chenwan arranged for an inspection, Lin Xi sat down on the bench at the door.

Su Xiaopu looked at him and waited for him to speak.

Lin Xi sat there, his head down, and was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the case we are working on now, she said that she may have found the suspect that night, but at that time she didn't know who the other party was and mistakenly thought that she was wrong, today she went back and almost died at home, a bathtub of water, I don't know how long she struggled and got soaked, if I was a step late, if I didn't have the strength to get her back to ......"

Speaking of the back, Lin Xi's voice was hoarse, Su Xiaopu stood in front of him, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, such a bad thing happened, no one could continue to persuade people to be calm.

"It's my fault. ”

Lin Xi could recall the water that was still shaking in the bathtub as long as she closed her eyes, as if she could see her being pressed into the water, her physical strength was not so good, and she was frightened, knowing where her hands were cold and motionless.

He was really scared.

Su Xiaopu's eyes were red when he looked at Lin Xi.

"Lin Xi, don't stop yourself from these things, it's the suspect who has done a lot of evil, and our top priority is to arrest people. ”

"Maybe it was really that she saw the suspect that night, and I took her to work on the case, and when I saw it, I was going to kill someone. ”

"That means that the suspect has been in the vicinity of the community, which is beneficial to us, and the scope can be narrowed down to arrest people. ”

"Then between the time I went upstairs and came down with Wei Chenwan in my arms, did you see any suspicious people coming down from the building?"

"No, you went up for more than ten minutes, and during this time there were only people who went up, and no people who came down. ”

Lin Xi thought about it for a while, he didn't see anyone when he walked out of the safe passage, or the suspect just ran away in the elevator, but there was surveillance in the elevator to know that the only explanation was that the suspect ran upstairs and left the apartment building when they left.

"Xiao Pu, the work behind ......"

The emergency doctor came to call the family and interrupted the conversation.

Lin Xi stood up and ran over.

"Doctor, how's it going?"

"The patient's heart rate is slowly adjusting, and other organs are basically not damaged, which is a blessing in misfortune, and when her heart rate is stable, she will be admitted to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to continue treatment. ”

"That's good, that's good. "It is good that people can be saved.

"The main thing is that the treatment after drowning is very timely, otherwise even if our doctors come to treat it, there may be irreversible damage. ”

This sentence hit Lin Xi's appreciation, fortunately he didn't leave, fortunately he went up to take a look, otherwise I am afraid that I will never see him again.

"Lin Xi, she is blessed with a great life, it's okay. Su Xiaopu patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Xi can now understand why the victim's family knelt down and asked them to catch the murderer, and now that it was his turn, he still wanted to break the body into pieces with his own hands.
