I told Team Cao about what I had just found and what I was puzzled about, and Team Cao seemed to realize something, and he moved a chair from the side, stood on it, and stood on tiptoe, his eyes just level with the top cabinet. He took a small flashlight out of his pocket and shone it inside.

I took advantage of his time to check the cabinet and found the outpatient records from a month ago. Most of the names of the miners who died unexpectedly appear on the records, spanning a week or so.

The miners all presented the same symptoms, headache, nasal congestion, cough, weakness in the limbs, and a persistent low-grade fever. Dr. Chen's treatment is the same, the same medicine, the same dose. The only difference was Xiao Zhong's Zhang, whose symptoms seemed to be more severe, and he had been infused in the infirmary for about three days. There is nothing else to be written.

At this time, Team Cao got down from the chair, turned off the flashlight, and said to me, "Lao Chang, the upper layer originally contained the files, probably the personal files of the miners you said, there is dust on the edge of the cabinet, but there is no in the middle, and there are scratches left by repeatedly pulling the file bag." The files were taken away. ”

What was the purpose of taking the files? Could it be that there would be something unsightly in the files, and who took the files could have something to do with Dr. Chen's self-immolation? "Team Cao, I think something is wrong, Director Qi told me that after the self-immolation incident, Dr. Chen called him, and he attached great importance to the symptoms of low-grade fever and cold before the miners died, and even felt that it was necessary to transfer to the county for an in-depth examination.

Director Qi also said that Dr. Chen checked the pulse of the miners and found that they had poisoned their livers and spleens, and suspected that they had been poisoned underground, which was not in the outpatient records. ”

"The most incomprehensible thing to me is that Team Cao, you see that the outpatient records of these miners are almost identical, and the handwriting is almost the same, in my understanding, people in different moods, different environments, different writing tools, even if a person writes the same word, there will be slight differences in handwriting every time, but these outpatient records are more like being copied down according to a sheet, which is not Dr. Chen's personality habits at all. ”

"Besides, so many miners died unexpectedly, and I rummaged through his desk, and Dr. Chen didn't leave a word about it, isn't it too abnormal?"

After listening to me, Team Cao asked me, "Lao Chang, if it were you, under what circumstances would you not make any records?"

I thought for a moment and replied: "There are probably two situations, one is that I know this matter well and naturally I don't need to make more records, and the other is that this matter involves me and I can't leave any written evidence." ”

Team Cao nodded, "Lao Chang, what you said is right, of course, there is also a possibility that before we came, someone had already taken away all the information, Lao Chang, look here." ”

Cao said and pointed to the desk calendar on his desk, and then I noticed that it was this calendar, but on the date, there were many red and blue circles. Team Cao took out his mobile phone and looked at it. "Often, the red circle represents the time when the miners self-immolated, so I guess the blue circle in front of it should be the date they came to the infirmary. ”

I hurriedly flipped through the outpatient records in my hand, and sure enough, as Team Cao said, they all matched.

"Chang, it seems that someone has taken all the information, and he is a person who knows Dr. Chen very well. Of course, if you can take it so thoroughly, there is no sign of turning, and the most likely person is actually Dr. Chen himself. ”

"Dr. Chen himself? This is impossible, can he predict the time of his self-immolation?

"Come with me, Chang, there are many more things that surprise you. "Team Cao dragged me to the outer disposal room.

We squatted down next to the black circle in front of the medicine cabinet again, and Team Cao took out a flashlight again, and took a picture on the black particles, and when I looked up and saw that I didn't react, he moved the flashlight again and shone it from the side.

I almost fell to the ground, wondering what Team Cao had found in this black circle. Looking at these particles glowing with dead gray colors in the light of the flashlight, as if to absorb all the light into it, I suddenly understood what Team Cao meant.

"It's crystals, yes, Team Cao, there are no yellowish crystals in these ashes that we saw in Dongyang Village. ”

Team Cao nodded, "At that time, the weasel was burned to ashes, and there were bright yellow reflections everywhere in the ashes, indicating that the temperature was very high, and the ashes of the bones, including the sand in the circle, were melted, and these glass slag-like things were formed after cooling, but there was no here, which only means that the temperature when burning was not high enough." ”

"Maybe it's because the disposal room is too clean and there is no sand at all. ”

"Of course it's possible, but you see. Team Cao said and wiped his finger on the black circle, and all the ashes floating on it ran to Team Cao's fingers, and nothing was left on the terrazzo floor, revealing the gray stone face.

"If it is burned at high temperatures, the carbon will be burned into a very fine powder, which will seep into the tiny pores in the ground, and after cooling, it will remain in it and will not be easy to erase. So, Xiao Lei said, almost a month has passed since the spontaneous combustion incident in the mine, and those black circles are still there, but they are a little dim. But as usual, the black circle here is wiped off, and I suspect it's just some toner, and nothing in this circle has ever burned. ”

"Also, Lao Chang, at that time in Dongyang Village, after the weasel burned to death, we all smelled a very strong smell of burning, but you see, the doors and windows of the infirmary are closed, in terms of time, Dr. Chen has been in the accident for about half a day at most, isn't it strange that there is no smell in this room at all?"

When Team Cao said this, I also felt that there was an indescribable weirdness here, with lost records, erased traces, and clues that were artificially added. "Team Cao, why do I feel like this is a deliberate scene?"

"Yes, Elder Chang, you feel the same way I do, but I don't feel that way here. Team Cao stood up and dragged me up.

Team Cao handed me the notebook he was carrying, motioning for me to take a closer look, but he took out his mobile phone and dialed it.

I flipped to the last page in my notebook where Team Cao had written, and it listed all the on-site investigations of the miners who were killed, but Team Cao carefully compiled it into a table. It is divided into time, place, fire area, remnants at the scene, stumps, crystal residues, ceilings, and light bulb damage, each case is a line, each item is marked with English letters, and some are represented by checks and crosses.

I looked up suspiciously and was about to ask Team Cao, but he had already answered the phone.

"Xiao Lei, I watched the scene, your analysis is only half right, but I often round the previous question, let's start, you take two people there, yes, Plan B, interrogation as soon as the person arrives. ”

Seeing that Team Cao hung up the phone, I hurriedly asked him, "What, Lao Cao, have you even made a plan?

Team Cao smiled at me, rubbed his red eyes, and said, "Lao Chang, when you were fighting in Guangling County, we were not idle, and the efforts of the two of us brought out the outline of this matter." ”

Team Cao pointed to the notebook, "Chang, the feeling of deliberately setting up the scene you said, I already had it when I re-surveyed the scene this morning, but it was just a hazy feeling, and many things couldn't be together." ”

"Do you pay attention to the first five spontaneous combustion incidents, including the last one, the one in Xiao Zhong, what is the difference between the other incidents?"

With Team Cao's hints, I quickly discovered the pattern. The first five incidents, in the case of on-site residues, were all "Y", while the others were all "N".

"In the first five incidents, there were remnants of burned furniture, such as chair legs, half a sofa, etc., while in the later incidents, there were no remnants of furniture. There is only one explanation for that, and in the later incidents, the miners were incinerated in a standing state. But the front ones are sitting and lying, and the back ones are all standing? This doesn't seem to be a coincidence, right? So, there should be another possibility. ”

"Is it because the remains of burned furniture are not good enough to be made and cannot be faked?, or is there simply not enough time for the counterfeiters to make these props?" I suddenly understood the general direction of Cao Team's reasoning, and while I was shocked, my mind became clear.

"That's right, Lao Chang, you're a little bit through now. You look at the next few items. The stump, the first five cases, all left something, a calf, a hand, but nothing was left behind, this can't be because the karmic fire is getting more and more experienced, and the technology is becoming more and more mature, right? In the same way, the stump cannot be copied. ”

"The matter of crystals, we just discussed, there are five cases in the first one, and none in the back. I didn't have time to tell you about the ceiling before. In the first five incidents, large white shards on the roof fell off, which should have been formed by water vapor fumigation, while the latter ones did not. The situation of the light bulb is similar, in the first five cases, the light bulbs in the house all exploded without exception, which should be caused by high temperatures, and the light bulbs in the back cases are intact. ”

In other words, if we believe that there is a phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body, of course, we do not know what the cause is, then the first five cases must be the first five cases, and the latter ones are obviously forgery, the scene of forgery. But the question is, what is the purpose of this falsification? This is something that I have never figured out. ”

"But as of this afternoon, all of these were our inferences, and it wasn't until Xiao Zhong's case came out that our inferences were really verified. ”
