Chapter 24: Mysterious Coordinates
In the late summer evening, there is still a little heat in the air. Tian Rui rested for a while in the locker room, took off her nurse's uniform, and changed into a snow-white suspender dress. She stood in front of the mirror, combing her long black and shiny hair, and couldn't help but smile playfully at herself.
The days when she doesn't have to work the night shift are very precious to her, thinking that she can go home and eat her mother's food in a while, can snuggle up on the sofa and watch her favorite movies, and can lie on the soft bed and sleep beautifully, her mood is extraordinarily comfortable.
After saying goodbye to her colleagues who were changing shifts together, Tian Rui picked up a blue handbag and walked out of the locker room. She hummed all the way to the elevator hall, and vaguely saw a familiar figure walking towards her from the other side of the hallway.
Since the last time they met, Tian Rui would always think of that handsome face inadvertently, hoping to meet in the hospital one day. She was surprised and delighted, her heart beat faster, and for a moment she felt a sense of detachment from reality. Just when she was at a loss, the man had already quietly walked up to her side. In order to hide the panic in her heart, she plucked up the courage to take the initiative to greet her: "Officer Gu, we meet again." Do you come to the hospital to see the little bell? ”
"yes, I just came out of her hospital room." Gu Yan replied with a smile, his gentle gaze looked at Tian Rui's body for a moment, and praised from the bottom of his heart, "You are dressed so beautifully today, I almost can't recognize you." ”
Tian Rui was already so nervous that she was bumping into a deer in her heart. Hearing Gu Liao say this, she felt even more embarrassed, and her cheeks suddenly turned crimson. She turned her head awkwardly and asked, "You, are you going back now?" ”
"Well, I'm just here to see how the bell is recovering."
"Don't worry, Bell is in good condition and will be discharged from the hospital in no time." Tian Rui raised her head again, and hurriedly comforted Gu Li, and the shyness on her face was slightly reduced. "The doctors and nurses here are very responsible, and we will definitely take good care of her."
"I know, I'm relieved to have you." Gu Liao smiled at Tian Rui, his eyes full of gratitude. After a while, he looked around and found that there were not many people passing by, so he said to Tian Rui: "Nurse Tian, can I delay you for a few minutes, I still want to confirm some more information with you." ”
"Does it have something to do with Bell's father?" Tian Rui asked worriedly, although she didn't know if she could help, but she still showed a serious expression of trying to cooperate.
"According to the investigation, on the night of Qin Yu's disappearance, the last person he ever came into contact with was you. Think about it, if anything unusual happened that night? Is Qin Yu's speech and demeanor any different from usual? ”
"No, I think everything was normal that day. Qin Yu stayed in the ward for more than an hour as usual, and when he left, he had a brief chat with me, asked me to take good care of the bell, and said things like 'see you tomorrow', I couldn't see anything abnormal at all! ”
"Then have you ever noticed that when Qin Yu came to visit the hospital, were there any suspicious people haunting near the bell's ward? It looks like he's stalking or spying on Qin Yu? ”
"This ......," Tian Rui thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be one." Most of our floors are high-end wards, and there are very few idle people. If there are suspicious people wandering in the corridors, it will definitely attract the attention of doctors and nurses, and the police should have discovered the problem in the course of their investigation. ”
Gu Liao nodded in agreement, and then asked, "During Ling Dang's hospitalization, Qin Yu didn't have any conflicts with the doctors and nurses here, right?" Even if it's just a small dispute? ”
"Of course not. The hospital has arranged the best medical conditions for the bell, and all aspects are taken care of so well that there can be no problems. ”
"Then can you recall that when Qin Yu came to visit the hospital in the past, did he say or do anything that left a deep impression on you?"
"He doesn't talk much, every time he comes to the hospital, he just accompanies the bell in the ward, sometimes asks the doctor on duty about the bell's condition, and hardly ......does anything superfluous," Tian Rui recalled as she spoke, suddenly, she paused and frowned slightly, "By the way, there is something I don't seem to have told the police before." It's a very small thing, and it may have nothing to do with the case. ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Yan couldn't wait to ask, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"It was about August 10th, a few days after the operation, and I picked up a crumpled test sheet during my night rounds, which should have been inadvertently dropped by Qin Yu on the side of the bed. I remember seeing two very complicated numbers on the back of the test sheet...... Oh no, it's two coordinates, I was curious at the time, but I quickly forgot about it afterwards. ”
"What coordinates?"
"I can't remember, it's a long list, and I just glanced at it."
"Can you still find that piece of paper?"
"I picked it up and put it at the head of Bell's bed, and it must have been put away by Bell's mother later."
Gu Yan was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Can you think of anything else?" ”
"Hmm......" Tian Rui thought about it while wiping her long hair, and finally just shook her head regretfully and said, "Not for the time being." ”
"It's okay, just call me if you think of something later." Gu Yan smiled and comforted Tian Rui, and then took out his mobile phone and exchanged numbers with the other party.
The two chatted casually, and Gu Liao said goodbye first. If it weren't for the heavy responsibilities and no time to rest, Gu Lian really wanted to stay with Nurse Tian for a while, and even wanted to ask her out for dinner. After all, everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a single young man in his twenties.
Leaving the inpatient department, Gu Liao immediately called Shu Qing to confirm the matter of the test sheet. Shu Qing had little impression of this detail, and only said that all the relevant information about the bell's medical treatment was at home.
An hour later, Gu Liao parked the car at the gate of Wutong Community and hurried to Room 2303 of 6 buildings. As soon as Shu Qing opened the door, Gu Yan hurriedly asked, "Did you find it?" The test sheet with the coordinates written on it. ”
Shu Qing shook her head, pointed to the messy pile of documents on the coffee table and said, "I just flipped through it, and I didn't find the piece of paper you said!" ”
"Everything is here?" Gu Liao asked suspiciously, and walked straight to the coffee table without changing his shoes, and carefully checked them one by one. After a while, he threw away the last piece of paper in his hand in disappointment, and asked with a frown, "You can't have thrown it away, right?" ”
"Why, I have never thrown away anything related to the bell to see a doctor."
"Could it be in your bag that you forgot to take out?"
"Huh?" After Gu Li's reminder, Shu Qing suddenly realized, "I remembered, that piece of paper was in the pocket of my windbreaker, and I hung it in the closet when I came back from the hospital that day." After saying that, she quickly walked to the bedroom, took out the crumpled test sheet from the closet, flipped to the back, and sure enough, found two handwritten coordinates: 27°30′37"N, 102°18′23"E.
"What the hell is this?" Shu Qing returned to the living room, handed the piece of paper to Gu Li, and asked suspiciously.
Gu Liao didn't answer, just stared at the group of numbers intently, and muttered to himself for a while: "That's right, this is indeed Qin Yu's handwriting." ”
"What is this place?" Shu Qing asked again.
"I don't know." Gu Liao shook his head, glanced at the Apple computer on the table, and said, "Take that one to me and use it." ”
A few minutes later, Gu found the location on an online map, and the address bar showed a village in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. He looked at the computer screen and asked Shu Qing rather confused, "Has Qin Yu been to this place before?" ”
"Liangshan? I don't think I've been there! Shu Qing also said she didn't understand.
"Then he didn't mention this place to you?"
"Not either."
"Did Qin Yu say that he was going to go far in the near future?"
"That's true, because the company recently wanted to arrange for him to go to the United States for further study."
"And what's going on?" Gu Yan glanced at Shu Qing in surprise, with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
"I don't think this has anything to do with his disappearance!" Shu Qing was a little aggrieved, and hurriedly explained, "You also know now that Qin Yu signed a long-term work agreement with his American boss in order to treat the bell. The boss wanted to focus on cultivating him, so he arranged for him to visit and study at the headquarters in the United States. That's a good thing no matter how you look at it, right? ”
"I'm sorry, but I was too impatient." Gu Yan calmed down for a moment, and then asked, "When did Qin Yu tell you about this?" He said when he was going to the United States? How long are you going to go? ”
"That's what Bell told me when he was first hospitalized. He said that he would go to the United States when the bell was almost recovered, and the exact length of time has not yet been determined. What the hell is going on, I'm almost confused by you. ”
Gu Yan sighed, took the piece of paper in his hand again, looked at the coordinates on it seriously, and said, "I don't know if this was written by Qin Yu casually, or if it has any special meaning." I don't know if this has anything to do with Qin Yu's disappearance. If it's the latter, I'm afraid I'll have to go to that place myself to figure out something. After so many days of investigation, I think the truth of Qin Yu's disappearance is far more complicated than we imagined. Our opponent is strong, and he's lurking around us, maybe someone from a pharmaceutical company or a medical center, maybe more than one. Now that the investigation has reached an impasse, we can only try to find a breakthrough from Qin Yu. ”
"How?" Shu Qing asked puzzledly, "Haven't you already investigated Qin Yu's social relations clearly?" What else can be done now? ”
"If Qin Yu is really involved in something troublesome, he may leave some relevant clues. I hope you will carefully check Qin Yu's personal belongings next and not let go of any details. If you send a suspicious message, you should contact me immediately. Also, pay attention to whether this set of coordinates has appeared elsewhere. ”
