Chapter 4: Searching for a Companion of the Amnesiac

When we returned to the hospital, the amnesiac was lying on his side in his hospital bed, which at first glance did not appear to be unusual, but revealed a sense of musical incongruity. Seeing such a scene, Li Jing and Officer Liu suddenly became excited, pushed open the door of the ward and rushed in, Officer Liu lifted the quilt covering the amnesiac, and the blood red on the bed sheet suddenly pierced into the sight, and a nurse present hurriedly rang the nurse's bell, and the "To Alice" issued by the nurse's bell sounded particularly strange in the hospital corridor in the dead of night. A few minutes later, the amnesiac was pushed into the emergency operating room, leaving a doctor on duty at the scene, and Mr. Zheng also rushed over more than ten minutes later.

The doctor on duty told us that the wound had been stabbed directly into the chest artery, so we had symptoms of shock when we saw the amnesiac, but he judged that the time since the amnesiac was stabbed should not have been more than ten minutes, and because the murder weapon remained in the body, it was not immediately dead. He speculated that he should be able to pull back from the ghost gate. Officer Liu looked at a police officer who stayed in the hospital with some reproach and asked him if he had seen any suspicious people.

The police officers who stayed behind also panicked, waving their hands again and again, saying that they had never put in any suspicious people, and that the doctors who entered the ward were all doctors they knew, and no one had entered the ward at all ten minutes ago. The impact of the surveillance footage also confirmed the officer's words, and indeed no one had walked into the ward during that time.

Officer Liu suddenly pulled the cordon with duct tape at the scene, and blessed none of us to step into it lightly, and then went with the child The on-site investigators came to collect evidence. The on-site investigator took photographs and removed the footprints and fingerprints left at the scene. In response to this notice, Li Jing and Officer Liu have been observing the staff who have been entering and leaving the ward these days.

"Did you notice anything unusual?" I asked Li Jing.

Li Jing didn't answer me, but turned his head to look at Officer Liu and Dr. Zheng and asked them if there were any people they didn't know, Dr. Zheng said that because amnesia is an important clue in Anqing, all the people who have just entered this ward have been strictly selected, and even the cleaning aunt who is in charge of cleaning is an old employee who has worked in the hospital for many years, and they are very trustworthy.

"Where is the food?" Li Jing asked.

Dr. Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "This is because the canteen is being renovated, so we all order food from an outside ordering company, and then a cleaning aunt will help bring him a boxed lunch." ”

"Lunch box? Do you know which company it belongs to? Officer Liu and Li Jing asked in unison.

Dr. Zheng said she could ask the hospital's logistics department. When he went to make a call, Li Jing and the others walked into the ward again and searched around. "What are you looking for?" I followed them into the room.

"Be careful not to guess the original footprints," Li Jing instructed me, "Let's find out where the amnesiac hid the knife." ”

After listening to Li Jing's explanation, I couldn't help but be shocked: "Do you suspect that he committed suicide? ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he said to Officer Liu, who was searching together, "Did we think wrong?" ”

Officer Li's eyes widened as if he suddenly understood, and he turned to the police officer standing at the door and said loudly: "Mu Fei, keep an eye on here, no one can come in without my order, Li Jing." Let's go to the emergency room, Xiaozhi, you can come with us. ”

Although I didn't understand why Officer Liu suddenly rushed to the emergency room, I couldn't help but get nervous when I saw Li Jing's stern face. When we arrived at the emergency room, the operation was still in progress, and the red light outside was a little glaring in the dimly lit hallway. "Got in there all the time?" Officer Liu looked at his watch and asked the nurse next to him, who nodded.

"That's not right." Li Jing said suddenly, kicking open the door of the emergency room.

The nurse said, "Sir, it's still operating inside, and bacteria will be brought in." Can't enter. Bian pulled Li Jing from behind and didn't let him play the prelude, but how could she be a woman to stop a young man, Li Jing still rushed in, and then the nurse's scream of "ah" came from the operating room. The nurse's screams attracted the attention of Officer Liu, and the two of us hurriedly ran into the operating room, as soon as I entered the operating room, I was dumbfounded, the head of the amnesiac on the operating table was tilted to the side, completely lifeless, and there were three doctors and nurses in sterile gowns lying under the operating table. Blood flowed all over the ground, and the sparse footprints of blood walked in the direction of the operating preparation room. There was another faint smell of bitter almonds in the air, and Officer Liu next to me touched me and covered my nose.

Li Jing went up to probe their snorts, and saw that the nurses around him had collapsed on the ground in fear. I had to turn my head and shout at the frightened me, "Xiaozhi, go and inform the other doctors, there are people injured here." ”

As I ran out, Li Jing began to administer temporary first aid to several people lying on the ground, while Officer Liu followed the footprints of Xuexue to the operation preparation room.

A few minutes later, I walked into the emergency room with Dr. Zheng and a few doctors who were still on duty, and several doctors were stunned when they entered the operating room. However, it may be because when I asked about the smell of bitter almonds in the air, which was no longer so obvious, we all took out masks from the pockets of our white coats, and Dr. Zheng also specially found three disposable masks from the cabinet next to us and gave them to us.

Several doctors took the fainted people from Li Jing's hands, put them on the ambulance beds that had been prepared, and pushed them to another operating room. Li Jing sat on the ground sweating profusely, panting for breath, and Officer Liu and I helped Li Jing out of the emergency room and let him sit in the waiting chair to rest. After receiving hot water from the nurse's station and giving it to Li Jing to drink, Li Jing calmed his breathing and discussed with us what had just happened.

Li Jing speculated that the amnesiac had probably recovered his memories a long time ago, and then he did a good job of hiding the fact that he had recovered his memories and the driver was ready to escape. And the leader of his gang may have found an opportunity to contact the amnesiac in the past few days, and after making sure that the frustrated person had heard the previous events, he discussed with him how to escape. When we went to see him today, the frustrated person probably thought that he might not be able to hide it anymore, so he got in touch with his companion and pretended to commit suicide to find a chance to enter the emergency room, and if we didn't rush to the amnesiac room, he would also ring the nurse's bell to find a chance to enter the emergency room. And his companions, who had been hiding there for a long time, released a very high concentration of hydrogen cyanide gas. Because the amnesiac was wearing an oxygen mask at that time, he would not be affected by the toxic gas at all, but the doctor who performed the operation just brought an ordinary disposable mask and could not resist the effects of hydrogen cyanide gas at all, but his companion was a little anxious, and when the doctor and nurse were still conscious, he made a second attack with a stick, completely knocking out the medical staff present. He again attacked the amnesiac with a knife and confirmed that he was dead before leaving the emergency room. However, because the matter was handled in a hurry, he himself left traces on the ground.

"It's a complete murder." Li Jing sighed, "It seems to be the same as we speculated when we ate before. Now his companion has completely lost control of our in-depth investigation, so he chooses to kill his companion and escape. But with his current state of mind, I think he might kill indiscriminately on the way out. ”

"I immediately notified the traffic police to block all the roads out of the city." After Officer Liu finished speaking, he went to inform the local traffic police.

Li Jing's face had eased a lot, and it seemed that the damage of hydrogen cyanide gas was gradually weakening, and he heard Dr. Zheng's praise for his rescue methods. The corners of Li Jing's mouth inadvertently rose, and it seemed that he was very useful for Dr. Zheng's praise. When Officer Liu returned, he said that all roads had been cordoned off, and that all pedestrians and cyclists on the road would stop for questioning in addition to motorists.

Officer Li nodded after hearing this, and on the other side, the results of the real yàn room also came out, and sure enough, the three hairs that were found on the frustrated person were completely consistent with the DNA of the last female victim, sure enough. As previously speculated, the final victim is the amnesiac's companions, who are involved in the series of serial murders along with another suspect at large.

Morning. Officer Liu summoned the team members and other colleagues in the police station, and made a third profile: "The companion of the amnesiac is the person who passes the blade and all the information to the amnesiac through the guò boxed lunch, so our suspect may be an employee of the courier company, this person should have entered the food delivery company after the amnesiac entered the hospital, and the food delivery worker may be from the transportation company of the third party of the popular online takeaway, pay attention to the private small contractors of these third-party takeaway channels, See if their business overlaps with the hospital's food delivery business, and find the company that overlaps. Because the suspect has recently lacked the help of two deputies, there may have been problems in the day-to-day business of identifying the contractors who complained the most. There could be a suspect in the serial murder we're looking for. ”

After that, he turned to the traffic police who came to participate in the profile meeting and said: "It is possible that our suspect returned his clothes in advance, and the bloody clothes have been disposed of, and you can find some clothes near the hospital that have no blood." I have just negotiated with Dr. Zheng from the hospital, and he is also asking the hospital to send the unprocessed clothes that the hospital received at night to the real room for DNA residue testing, and I suspect that the murderer may have pretended to be a medical staff to infiltrate the emergency room at that time, and there are not many doctors on duty at night, and the things to deal with are more complicated, as long as he wears a mask. Don't put on the name brand, it shouldn't be seen too many loopholes, so if the suspect disguises himself as a medical worker and mixes into the emergency room, it will be more convenient for the follow-up crime, because the crime time is short, and the suspect was stained with the amnesia's blood when he escaped, so as long as you find the clothes with the amnesia's blood, please take the police dog to search comprehensively to see if you can find the suspect's escape direction. ”

After the profiling was completed, the officers immediately conducted an investigation according to the interpretation of the profiling. Officer Liu is worried that the suspect has a place to live in the city and has temporarily escaped the police's investigation. Li Jing comforted Officer Liu that he was trying his best to find the suspicious person in the food delivery company, and I knew that Li Jing must have privately asked Shi Hao to follow up at any time. I waited on my computer for good news, but I always felt that something was wrong.

This is the first time we have come to the hospital today, and the door to the ward is guarded 24 hours a day, but how does the amnesiac communicate with his companions? With all sorts of weird signals like in the movies? I immediately dismissed my idea, this montage is nothing short of nonsense in real life. Even if you do use it, you will soon be discovered by the police stationed at the hospital. But the people who enter and leave the ward are strictly screened, and there is nothing suspicious. Wait a minute? What if it's a companion that the amnesiac person contacts on their own?

I looked at Li Jing, who felt my gaze and looked back at me suspiciously.

"Officer Liu? Can an amnesiac person get out of the hospital? ”

Although I was taken aback by my brainless question, Officer Liu still thought for a while and replied seriously: "Of course it can't be, he had amnesia at the time, and it is still an important clue to the case, we will definitely not let him walk out of the hospital gate alone." ”

"Then he doesn't stay in the hospital room all day, does he?" I asked Officer Liu excitedly, and I always felt that I was one step behind. Li Jing instantly understood what I was thinking, and stared at Officer Liu like me, Officer Liu seemed to understand our thoughts this time and immediately said: "If it is an activity inside the hospital, although we will have someone to follow, we will still keep a distance and let him move freely." ”

I glanced at Li Jing and boldly said my thoughts: "Li Jing, will we miss the details of the hospital?" First of all, if it is a delivery company, he is not sure which box will be delivered to the amnesiac. In addition, if the delivery with special signals is delivered to the amnesiac person according to the ideal situation, how can he be sure that the frustrated person will understand these signals, even if there is a certain signal between them, then how does the amnesiac know the meaning of these signals? ”

Officer Liu and Li Jing nodded thoughtfully and motioned for me to continue. I took a deep breath and said, "I think it's possible that the amnesiac's companion is still in the hospital, and in addition to being a contractor for the food delivery company, there is also a possibility that the amnesia's companion is also a patient in that hospital. ”

"Although people who enter the hospital from outside are scrutinized, all people subconsciously treat patients as people who have nothing to do with the incident, so even if they approach people with amnesia, as long as they are not particularly frequent, they will not attract the attention of others. Therefore, with a little attention, the police investigation can be disclosed to the companion at any time, and the patients give each other some food and the like not only will not arouse suspicion, but will not even be examined, and the patient is the best way to hide his identity. Or maybe his companion isn't even a patient, and can do all the things I just said in a hospital gown. So on the first day we arrived, his companion knew that we were coming, which stimulated the insecurity of the amnesiac companion, and he made up his mind to solve the amnesia. And it's easier to get a patient in the emergency room than it is for the medical team to mix in a fake doctor. The presence of a patient in the emergency room does not arouse the suspicion of the doctor, and it is likely that it is a patient who has undergone another operation, so he will let his guard down more and create more opportunities for his companion with amnesia. And the companion of the amnesiac can also hide in the hospital by his identity after killing someone, he can immediately put his bloody clothes in the locker of any patient, and then swagger out of our sight, without fear of being found out. We only looked at the clothes that were sent to the hospital laundry, but those that were not sent to the laundry could also be worn by the suspect to commit the crime? (To be continued.) )
