Chapter 254: Entering the country is customary
Before Nan Zeyu could respond, Tao Baihe turned back suddenly, "Yes, call the police!" Her crying red and swollen eyes shot out a flame of resentment, "We just believed your recommendation in the first place, otherwise, my dad wouldn't have had this operation, and he wouldn't have ......" As she spoke, her tears welled up again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Bai He!" Nan Zeyu hurriedly stopped her, "Master Hou didn't know that these things would happen." He looked at Wan Guohou with a little embarrassment, "I will carefully consider the matter of calling the police." ”
"What else are you considering?" The husband was still worried about Wan Guohou's face at the moment, which made Tao Baihe extremely annoyed, "Shouldn't you call the police for unexplained death?"
This sentence was very sharp, so that Nan Zeyu could not refute it. He pursed his lips, and then said, "Master Hou, if necessary, please be a witness, after all, the hospital and the doctor are recommended by you." ”
"No problem. Wan Guohou said sincerely, "I understand very well. After speaking, he looked at Tao Baihe, "Mrs. Nan, please mourn." ”
Tao Baihe glared at Wan Guohou angrily, her heart was full of pain that was about to explode, as if only by blowing up all the people around her could she calm her anger.
The police came quickly. Three men, armed with pistols, batons, blast spray and handcuffs, marched into the morgue in their arms, covering three generations.
The oldest cop held a walkie-talkie, the middle-aged man carried a suitcase, and the younger cop held a notepad and ballpoint pen. All three of them wore shiny NYPD badges on their chests, and for some reason, Nan Zeyu suddenly became nervous after seeing the badges.
The oldest policeman is clearly the head, and he has a face that is not naturally smiling. He looked at Nan Zeyu and Tao Baihe suspiciously, and asked, "Are you calling the police?"
"We are tourists from China, my name is Nan Zeyu, I reported the case just now, you can call me, Nan. This lady's name is Tao Baihe, she is my wife, and the deceased is my father-in-law, Tao Baihe, who had eye surgery in this hospital. This is the introducer, the hospital he recommended to us. Nan Zeyu tried to introduce the general situation as concisely as possible, although his English pronunciation was not standard, but overall it was clear and fluent. "My father-in-law was admitted to the hospital on February 11 and had surgery that morning, and the doctor said that the post-operative examination showed that everything was normal. This morning, my father-in-law removed the gauze and seemed to be in a very stable condition. But when my wife called the hospital at 12 o'clock to pick him up and discharge, the escort found out that my father-in-law had passed away and the cause of death was unknown. ”
"I see. I'm Bobby. The officer pushed his cheekbones a little hard, making a friendly expression. "Please show me your ID. ”
"I don't have my passport. Nan Zeyu explained, "I can take you to get it." ”
"No, I don't. Bobby said, "Tell me the place and I'll send someone to get it." ”
"At my house. Wan Guohou interjected at this time, "Sorry to interrupt. "I'm Ernest-August, and these are my friends." If there is anything you need my cooperation with, please feel free to ask. There was a calm, natural sadness in his eyes, which made Bobby look at him more unconsciously.
"Tell me the address of your home. Bobby said, nodding at the young policeman and motioning for him to write it down. After recording the record, he used his walkie-talkie to notify the other police.
"Where was the deceased found?" asked Bobby as he looked at Dr. Harris, who hurriedly stepped forward. "In ward 106. ”
"Take us there. ”
As soon as the door to Ward 106 was opened, several police officers gestured for everyone else to stay outside. They took shoe covers and gloves out of their pockets, put them on, and then walked in unhurriedly.
Several people shone flashlights at various corners of the room, trying to find fingerprints and footprints. After a while, the middle-aged policeman opened the box, took out a packet of black powder, and sprinkled it on the ground.
Nan Zeyu knew that the police were collecting evidence, so he gently hugged Tao Baihe, "Don't worry. He reassured, "It's going to be fine." ”
At this time, the middle-aged policeman took out a camera from the box and began to take pictures of the scene. Nan Zeyu noticed that the camera used by the police was actually Nikon D4s, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The New York Police Department is really rich.
After the middle-aged policeman took the photo, he put away his camera, then took out two slightly thicker pieces of paper and walked in front of Nan Zeyu and his wife.
"Take your fingerprints. He pointed to the black powder box in his hand, and his tone was stiff.
Nan Zeyu reluctantly complied, Tao Baihe's eyes widened, "What does this mean?"
"You just do it. Nan Zeyu said patiently, "It's just a process." ”
"Who was the first to find out about the deceased?" Bobby walked over to Minami Zeyu after checking the room.
"It's my father-in-law's companion, Lilith. Nan Zeyu noticed that several police officers were a little tired, which made him a little dissatisfied, but he was relieved: the police found no suspicious clues.
"Is she here now?"
Dr. Harris reacted immediately, "Yes, I'll call her!"
"No, it's good that she's here. Bobby said coldly, "Jim, go ahead." ”
The young officer answered, and walked out of the room.
"It's going to be fenced off and kept as it is. Bobby said, took out a few cards and handed them to Nan Zeyu and Wan Guohou, "This is the police record card, this is my business card, you may be able to use it." ”
Tao Baihe saw that the police seemed to be leaving, and suddenly became anxious, "You don't care?" She didn't care that Bobby couldn't understand her at all, "It's too irresponsible!"
Nan Zeyu was about to stop it, but Bobby smiled. He guessed the meaning of these words through Tao Baihe's expression, "This gentleman, please help me tell her that we will not spare the murderer - provided that this is a homicide." ”
"I don't quite understand what you mean. Nan Zeyu unconsciously lowered his voice, "You've already come to a conclusion?"
"I didn't say that. Bobby grinned.
Nan Zeyu hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal his identity. "Truth be told, I'm also a police officer, and when it comes to rank, I think I'm above you. ”
"Phew. Bobby shaved the stubble off his chin with his index finger. "I can't tell it's a peer. It's a pity that you don't know the rules very well. The scene has been surveyed, is there any problem? If there is no problem, we will close the team. ”
"No!" Tao Baihe saw that the police were going out, and suddenly became furious, she rushed over and grabbed Bobby's arm, "You can't do this!"
Her movements were so fast that neither Nan Zeyu nor Wan Guohou reacted.
Bobby's face quickly sank, "Let go." Although he spoke English, he was confident that the lady in front of him would understand.
"This is my dad!" Tao Baihe's tears flowed, "I only met him yesterday, he was full of hope for a new life, and said that he could finally throw away his crutches......! Just ......"
The lady's tears did not move Bobby. Bobby pulled out his arm and said to Nan Zeyu: "Don't the families of the police in your country know the basic sense of proportion and reason?"
Nan Zeyu was originally apologetic for his wife's behavior, but Bobby's words angered him, "Chinese police, it's not the turn of the Americans to teach a lesson!"
Tao Baihe couldn't understand the conversation between her husband and the police, but she could tell from Nan Zeyu's face that the white policeman had said something terrible. "What did he say? Is he scolding you?" she grabbed Bobby's arm in a fit of rage, "You dare to scold my husband?"
Bobby shook off Tao Baihe's hand, "Madam, I warn you, if you provoke me again, I'm welcome." ”
Nan Zeyu guessed what Bobby was going to say next, and he looked at Wan Guohou for help, but the latter walked away at some point, and was whispering on the phone.
"What are you doing?!" Tao Baihe suddenly screamed and pushed Bobby hard. It turned out that the latter accidentally stepped on Tao Baihe when he was walking out, although the latter immediately apologized, Tao Baihe still did it. This action triggered Bobby's professional instinct - he grabbed Tao Baihe's arm, twisted it vigorously, and then took the handcuffs from his waist and cuffed her.
"Are you crazy?" Nan Zeyu rushed up, "She didn't do anything wrong!"
"Enough. Bobby yelled, "Damn, take it all with me!"
A quarter of an hour later, the two were taken into the police station. Tao Baihe was very dissatisfied that the doctor did not accompany her, "Why do we want to come here?" she complained to Nan Zeyu in a low voice, "It's obviously my father who had the accident, and I am the victim's family!"
"The police think our attitude is not good, that is, routine, don't be nervous. Nan Zeyu said, glancing at his watch.
"Please come in. Bobby opened the door to the interrogation room, "Sit." He casually pointed to the interrogation room, and the two of them entered the interrogation room in an orderly manner and sat down.
"Isn't Master Hou used?" Tao Baihe looked out the door. Nan Zeyu pulled her and motioned for her to be quiet.
Bobby stood in the doorway, his burly body blocking almost the entire door, "Would you like some coffee?"
Nan Zeyu thought for a while, "Okay, two glasses, thank you." ”
Bobby poked his head out of the door, gave a command to a young female police officer, and closed the door.
Nan Zeyu saw that Bobby had lost his breath, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere, "Actually, it was really a misunderstanding just now. ”
"Oh?"
"My father-in-law died suddenly, my wife was not very emotionally stable, and I was also affected. Nan Zeyu moved his hips, trying his best to maintain the majesty he should have as the director of public security, "I am indeed a policeman, and I also know that my wife's behavior just now was wrong, but there was a reason for it." My wife thinks that you are not interested in this case, so you will be in a hurry to get out of control, please understand. ”
Bobby sat down on the edge of the table, "You're just out for private fun?"
"Yes. Nan Zeyu said frankly, "Half of it is to take my family out for vacation, and half is to treat my father-in-law." ”
"It's not just because it's business. Bobby kept staring at Nan Zeyu's eyes, "Otherwise, if you have a tourist visa, but you are secretly on a mission, and you want to arrest anyone, we will not be able to handle it." ”
Nan Zeyu pretended not to hear the malice contained in this sentence and smiled.
Bobby glanced at Tao Baihe, "You are all Chinese, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Today's incident, if I want to pursue it, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on your career. Bobby said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, "One?"
Nan Zeyu shook his head, and Bobby put away his cigarette. "I know the feelings of the victims' families, and I will do my best to solve the case, but I hope you don't get in the way of the police - things like today are really not good. ”
After hearing this, Nan Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, I promise there won't be a next time. He turned to Tao Baihe and said, "In order to let them get a good grasp of the case, our attitude should be better, this is the United States, the law is different from our China, you can't treat the police with the attitude just now." You can understand that you can follow the customs when entering the country? ”
Tao Baihe reluctantly glanced at Bobby and nodded.
"My wife said she knew it was wrong. Nan Zeyu said, "This matter doesn't have to make a big fuss, right? If not, I can give you another written apology." ”
"Then you don't have to. Bobby waved his hand, "By the way, do you know what happens when a foreigner dies in New York?"
Nan Zeyu shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"If you want to bring the body or ashes of the deceased back to China, then you have to ask the hospital to issue you a death certificate, provide a scanned copy of your passport, and find a notary lawyer to notarize it for you. Finally, go to your consulate and apply for a legalization of the death certificate. Bobby said, "Of course, it will take some time, if your visa is too short......
"No problem. Nan Zeyu hurriedly said, "But I still want to know what happened to cause my father-in-law to die suddenly." ”
Bobby shrugged, "Dr. Harris is very cooperative, and the relevant information has been submitted to us, now, please be patient." ”
Tao Baihe saw that the two were chatting quite speculatively, so he couldn't help but interject: "Husband, what are you talking about? Won't the police seal up the hospital? Hurry up and investigate the cause of my father's accident." ”
"Bai He, bear with me, this is not the magic capital. Nan Zeyu smiled bitterly, and then said to Bobby, "Is an autopsy needed?"
"Yes, the body will be sent to the police station soon. As soon as Bobby finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Here comes the coffee. Bobby took the cup and placed it on the table, "You go out, I'll call you again if there's something." He instructed the female police officer who was delivering the coffee.
After a moment of silence, Bobby coughed. "Nan, since you're a police officer, you should know what I'm going to ask. ”
Nan Zeyu wrapped his hands around the coffee cup, his face gloomy as if it were the sky before a rainstorm. "In such cases, priority is usually given to suspecting people who have an interest in the deceased. ”
