Chapter 30: The Visitation
Yan Junli pushed open the door of the ward, and was greeted by the same monotonous white walls, lonely beds, and infusion bags hanging high in all the wards. He Yanqi's face was covered with white bandages, only a little of her facial features were exposed, and from the gap in the bandage, you could see that the corners of her eyes were blurred with flesh and blood, so you can imagine how inhumane her face was. But for a woman who is already forty years old, Forensic Doctor He's skin is very white and looks very young.
"What a forensic doctor." Yan Junli shouted softly, Forensic Doctor He obviously heard it, and turned his head with some difficulty and looked in the direction of the two.
"Forensic doctor, I've come to see you." Yan Junli sat on the edge of the bed, held the woman's hand, and said softly, "This is Doctor Yang from Minghai Hospital, and he assisted me in solving the case together." ”
"What a forensic doctor, it's been a long time." Yang Wenbin bowed slightly to the woman on the hospital bed, "I'm Yang Wenbin." ”
"How are you feeling?" Yan Junli asked softly, and Forensic Doctor He nodded and shook Yan Junli's hand back, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief.
"Forensic doctor, can you tell us what happened last night?" Yan Junli asked.
Forensic Doctor He nodded, took the paper and pen on the table, and wrote slowly:
- I was sleeping when the man barged in, armed with a weapon. I was stabbed by him at once, and I tried to resist, but he immediately threw sulfuric acid on my face, and I soon lost sight. And then here you are.
"I'm sorry," Yan Junli lowered his eyes, "I didn't make it to ...... early"
Forensic Doctor He shook his head, indicating that it wasn't his fault. Yang Wenbin always stood silently beside Yan Junli, and only then did he speak,
"Forensic Doctor Ho, I know we shouldn't have asked these questions, but now that the investigation is urgent, we have to ask you these questions now, I hope it won't irritate you." Yang Wenbin paused before continuing, "We already know that you are not really pregnant, but for some reason to avoid this case, we suspect that you were threatened by the murderer before, is that so?" ”
Forensic Doctor He nodded lightly.
"Do you want to tell us what the hell is going on?"
Forensic Doctor He nodded and took the pen and paper, Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin both looked at the paper in her hand a little nervously, and when she showed them the paper, there was only one line of words on it:
- I don't quite remember.
"Don't remember?" Yang Wenbin looked at Forensic Doctor He suspiciously.
- I just got a threatening letter saying that I knew the secret of twenty years ago, but I don't remember that long ago. I was scared, and when I heard that the first person had been killed, I decided to hide. I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the catastrophe.
"But," Yan Junli asked eagerly, "you really can't remember anything at all?" Why did he kill you? ”
- I only know that it was related to 20 years ago, but I have handled so many cases that I can't remember which one the murderer was talking about.
Yan Junli's eyes revealed obvious disappointment, but he still nodded, and comfortingly stroked the back of Forensic Doctor He's hand, "It's okay, you've done your best, we'll do our best to find out the murderer." You can rest and don't worry about that. ”
Yan Junli stood up, glanced at Yang Wenbin, and left the ward lightly.
"It's all my fault." Yan Junli sighed and buried his face in the palm of his hand, "My best employee, maybe she won't be able to speak for the rest of her life, let alone her face......"
"It's not your fault, and she won't blame you." Yang Wenbin comforted.
"It's strange that she said she didn't remember." Yan Junli shook his head and said, "She must have been very stimulated to do this." Because Forensic Doctor He used to be a very careful person, she had to record every autopsy very carefully, and her mind was also very clear and her memory was very good, it stands to reason that even if it was an old case twenty years ago, as long as she felt suspicious, she would definitely record it. ”
"You said she'd record it?" Yang Wenbin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Then does she still have those records?" ”
"Maybe-" Yan Junli was stunned for a moment, and said happily, "Yes, maybe, maybe it will be kept!" ”
"Then what are you waiting for, go and find out, you will definitely find some clues!"
Yan Junli just wanted to say something, but at this moment, his mobile phone rang.
"Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone."
Yang Wenbin nodded, and Yan Junli picked up the phone, "Yes, it's Yan Junli, you say." ”
The other side seemed to say something, and Yan Junli's face became not very good-looking, "...... Well, I see, thank you, hard work. ”
"What's wrong?" Yang Wenbin asked.
"It's the one you want me to look into." Yan Junli hung up the phone, frowned and said, "DNA matching, that corpse has nothing to do with Keiko Nakano." ”
"What?" Yang Wenbin was stunned, as if he hadn't expected this result at all, "But...... No, that's the only possibility, how could it be! ”
"What the hell is coming to mind?" Yan Junli's tone was a little impatient, "It's all here, can you stop selling Guanzi, you can say okay if you think of anything?" ”
Yang Wenbin had no choice but to compromise, "Okay." I'm thinking about the truth of the case twenty years ago. How many versions of the story have we heard so far? ”
"First of all, the version that Xie Fengming's neighbor said that Hanako was killed by Xie Fengming's mother, Xie Mingqing." Yan Junli recalled, "Then Xia Baiyan thought that Keiko was the mastermind behind the case at that time. The skeleton tells us that Hanako was killed by her husband because of domestic violence. ”
"Yes, that's right." Yang Wenbin suddenly turned his head, stared at Yan Junli and said word by word, "But, have you found a problem?" Regardless of the version of the story, one character is missing. ”
"yes, you said that." Yan Junli replied a little absent-mindedly, "'Third person'." ”
"No, that's not what I'm talking about now." Yang Wenbin said eagerly, "What if we just look at this story? What about Hanako and her husband Du Yong's children? ”
"Maybe they don't have children at all." Yan Junli said.
"yes, of course maybe not. But think about that legend. "The legend I heard was that when Hanako died, some people would see the shadow of a woman when they went up the mountain, and some even said that she was wearing the clothes of the deceased. ”
"Do you mean ......," Yan Junli hesitated.
"Yes, I doubt that legend is true. Because the woman wearing the clothes of the deceased, or rather, the girl, is most likely Hanako's surviving daughter. Yang Wenbin said affirmatively.
"But you're asking me to compare the corpse with Keiko's DNA, do you doubt it-" Yan Junli's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, "No, it's impossible, how can it be, you're too wild." ”
"That's right! How so? That's the only explanation! Yang Wenbin explained anxiously, "Keiko is Hanako's daughter, and the corpse is Du Yong who was killed." Do you remember the first time we met Keiko? She said that her father is Chinese, and we can also call her Du Hui. And whether it's Xia Baiyan or Skeleton, the information that Hanako is Keiko's sister was all obtained from Keiko, and she may have lied to everyone. Because when you think about it, we overlook one very important thing, and that's age. How old is Keiko this year? Thirty? Thirty-five? Definitely not more than forty years old anyway. Then twenty years ago, she was only a teenager, but Hanako was already married, not only married, but also married for several years. So is her sister twenty years older than her? Isn't that incredible? ”
Maybe there's something going on here? Twenty years later, God knows what happened. Yan Junli interrupted Yang Wenbin's words, "Stop, you are still imaginative, you don't have any evidence at all, and DNA verification also proves that your theory is not tenable at all." ”
Yang Wenbin opened his mouth and showed a very depressed expression, "I don't know what's going on, there must be something wrong." ”
"We've been getting it wrong." Yan Junli said a word and lit a cigarette.
The constant lack of knowledge about the case made the two of them very dull, and the depressing atmosphere spread in the air, and Yan Junli even became irritable when he spoke, with such a choking smell.
"After this case is over, let's go on vacation." Yang Wenbin said suddenly at this time.
"Vacation?" Yan Junli laughed out loud when he heard this.
"yes, vacation." Yang Wenbin's tone was serious, not like a joke, he shrugged his shoulders, "What are you going to do......?" Beaches, gardens or hot springs. Stay away from murders, away from blood and corpses, we can pull Li Hong or other of your subordinates, and if we don't want anything else, we just go crazy. ”
"Then I'll have to have a vacation, don't I." Yan Junli smiled and shook his head.
"When we solve this case, you will definitely have a vacation." Yang Wenbin said affirmatively.
Yan Junli suddenly realized that Yang Wenbin said this to motivate him and encourage him to keep going. This man, who was so confused that he almost collapsed last night, is now comforting and encouraging himself in turn. Yan Junli took a deep breath, pinched out the cigarette in his hand, and nodded.
"The suggestion is good, when this case is solved, I will ask the leader for a vacation, and we will go crazy for a round. But for now, let's follow your advice and check if Dr. Ho keeps a record of the old case from twenty years ago. ”
"Nope!" Yang Wenbin coughed in the old dust of the warehouse and shouted loudly, "What about you?" ”
"Nope!" Yan Junli shouted at the other end of the room.
"Are you sure?" Yang Wenbin asked, "Don't miss every corner!" ”
