Chapter 13: The King's Death

Peng Bo wasn't sure if Zhong Qi would attack Qiu Qingfeng tonight, and he wasn't sure that the ultimate goal of the kidnapping case was actually only Qiu Qingfeng, but even if this probability was only one percent, he had to rush to the hospital to ensure the safety of his employer Qiu Qingfeng.

He did this because he didn't allow anyone to die after he intervened in the case!

On the way, a line flashed in Peng Bo's mind: Zhong Yuanliang participated in a brawl in prison two months before his release from prison, and was killed by a blade cutting his throat.

Zhong Qi's father's name is Zhong Yuanliang, he died, or died in this way, this is the most striking place in all Zhong Qi's background information, it is like a transcript of an honor student, full of perfect marks, only such a duck egg. People have to pay attention to what kind of discipline is the duck egg test.

Peng Bo decided to wait until dawn to find Tong Beibei to contact Tong Rui to investigate the cause of the prison brawl and death case, he had a hunch that this prison case had an inseparable relationship with Qiu Qingfeng, and it was precisely because of this that Qiu Qingfeng refused to let Zhong Qi be his attending doctor.

At half past two in the morning, Peng Bo rushed to Huaci Hospital in Lu Xiaohu's car. Because on the way, Peng Bo had already contacted the hospital in advance and asked to visit the patient at night, and Huaci was a management system that put the patient's wishes first, so after arriving at Huaci Hospital, a security guard opened the door and followed Peng Bo and Lu Xiaohu all the way upstairs.

Peng Bo pushed open the door of Qiu Qingfeng's ward, turned on the light, and saw Qiu Qingfeng on the hospital bed at a glance. Lu Xiaohu and the security guard behind him had already screamed, but Peng Bo was still not surprised, only frowning slightly.

The possibility of a small probability does not mean that it will not happen, Peng Bo knew that he was still late, and Qiu Qingfeng had already died violently in the hospital bed.

His body was in a deformed and awkward posture, his facial muscles were twisted to the point that he had completely changed his face, his eyes were round, his nose was crooked, his mouth was tilted, and his hands were tightly grasping his chest.

Peng Bo still remembers the conversation between the attending doctor and the nurse, Qiu Qingfeng's condition has stabilized, as long as he no longer suffers from strong stimulation, he could have been discharged from the hospital at noon today. Such a person can suddenly deteriorate to sudden death, coupled with such a distorted and hideous face, it is conceivable that he was extremely frightened before he died.

So, what did he see and what did he suffer? What can make a scheming and shrewd businessman who has been running in a mall for years be scared to death? Could it be that he is the hell?

The screams of the security guards and Lu Xiaohu attracted the paramedics, who began first aid work, including Zhong Qi. Peng Bo has seen Zhong Qi's photos and recognized him, he is indeed a charming man like Prince Charming.

Peng Bo stood in the corridor, waiting for the rescue results of the medical staff, but he had already expected that Qiu Qingfeng was not saved, and he looked dead.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Zhong Qi and the two nurses walked out of the ward dejectedly and shook their heads at Peng Bo and Lu Xiaohu at the door.

Zhong Qi explained: "Looking at this situation, I am afraid that Mr. Qiu was strongly stimulated to cause his condition to deteriorate suddenly, and he didn't even press the bell to call for help, which shows that the situation at that time was really ......."

Peng Bo had entered Qiu Qingfeng's hospital room and knew that the so-called bell was at hand on the edge of the bed, what kind of situation was it, and he couldn't even press the distress button so close?

Peng Bo pointed to the monitoring probe above and asked the security guard beside him: "Can you take me to the monitoring room to see the surveillance video in the corridor tonight, I suspect that Mr. Qiu's death was not a natural death." ”

The security guard had long heard that this Peng Bo was a detective invited by Qiu Qingfeng, and their hospital has always been customer-oriented, so he immediately nodded and led the way.

After Peng Bo watched the video in the monitoring room, he used the landline in the monitoring room to call Ma Jin.

Half an hour later, in the security room of Huaci Hospital, five criminal policemen led by Ma Jin, Peng Bo, Lu Xiaohu, Zhong Qi and two other doctors, five nurses, and four security guards in charge of hospital security monitoring stood in front of the computer screen to watch the surveillance video of the hospital corridor in the early hours of the morning.

The background of the screen is the corridor on the seventh floor of the inpatient department, and the monitoring range of this monitoring probe is from the corridor part of Ward 701 to Ward 710.

At 1:45 a.m., a female nurse enters the surveillance area and walks into room 709 at a normal pace. At 1:50 a.m., the female nurse emerged from room 709, still walking to the stairwell at a normal steady pace, and disappeared from the monitor.

She only stayed in the ward for five minutes, and when she came out, she was still unhurried, her clothes were still straight and without any wrinkles, so it can be seen that in the ward, she did not have a physical conflict with Qiu Qingfeng.

Ma Jin pressed the pause button and asked his subordinates to zoom in on the screen. The screenshot on the screen is exactly the front of the female nurse, but unfortunately, she is wearing a mask, and her forehead and eyebrows are also covered by thick and long Qi bangs, revealing only a thin slit in her eyes, which is really difficult to identify.

Ma Jin knocked on the computer screen and asked angrily: "Throughout the night, only this nurse has entered Ward 709 alone, who is this person?" What to do in there? ”

The person in charge of security glanced at Zhong Qi, the doctor on duty last night, and asked him to answer this question, after all, the medical staff is still the doctor on duty who is most familiar with it.

Zhong Qi kept rubbing his temples, and said in distress: "I see that the dress is a nurse, but I just checked, and the patient did not ring the bell to call the nurse at that time, I don't know why the nurse entered 709, and I can't recognize which nurse it is." ”

Ma Jin turned his inquiring eyes to the head nurse and several female nurses.

The head nurse immediately said firmly, "This is definitely not a nurse in our hospital. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Tong Rui pointed to the screen, "This woman has long Qi bangs and a mask, and she barely shows her eyes, how can you be sure that she is not a nurse in your hospital in disguise?" ”

"Because none of our medical staff can walk in this position." The head nurse pointed to the female nurse's hand on the screen, both of which were in the pockets of her uniform.

Zhong Qi said for the head nurse in hindsight: "That's right, we are strictly forbidden to walk or sit with both hands or one hand in our pockets. As long as the staff of our hospital have undergone strict etiquette training, they walk on the right side, the uniform is not open, and the hands are not in the pockets, which has formed a fixed behavioral habit. ”

Ma Jin asked aggressively: "If it's not a nurse from your hospital, how can there be a nurse uniform unique to your hospital?" ”

The head nurse said without humility or arrogance: "I don't know about this, but I am sure that we will not give our uniforms to anyone casually." ”

Zhong Qi also held his forehead and shook his head with a deep brow.

Peng Bo, who was leaning against the door, suddenly spoke from behind everyone, "I watched the video before you came, including the video of the woman walking and leaving all the way. The woman entered and left the hospital all the way without hesitation and unimpeded. This person is familiar with the terrain of the hospital, enters and exits the hospital through the back door, and knows how to avoid the blind spot of surveillance. ”

Ma Jin nodded, when he just watched the video, he also discovered this, so he thought that this woman was the nurse inside the hospital.

She knew that she had to walk on the right side in the corridor, knew Qiu Qingfeng's room number, and even knew what the password was for the layers of checkpoints, and she could easily pass through even the doors that needed a door card. If she is not an employee of Huaci Hospital, she is likely to be a patient of the hospital or a family member of a patient. Peng Bo said, his eyes turned to Zhong Qi.

Tong Rui asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Peng Bo replied: "In short, she has often been in and out of this hospital in the past period, and she has the opportunity to steal or imitate the nurse's uniform, have the opportunity to know the access codes of each level, and have the opportunity to copy the door card. Of course, it is also possible that she simply has an accomplice who is a hospital worker. ”

Peng Bo glanced at Zhong Qi from time to time when he said this, of course he did not suspect that the female nurse was Zhong Qi pretending to be a woman, firstly, the height and body type did not match, and secondly, at the time when the female nurse entered and exited the 709 ward, Zhong Qi had a clear alibi, because he was in the office at the time, and used the office landline to talk to him Peng Bo.

Tong Rui was the first to hear Peng Bo's voice, "You mean, this female nurse is Wang Chenxin pretending?" As a family member of a patient, Wang Chenxin often accompanies Qiu Qingfeng in and out of Huaci Hospital, which fully meets the conditions you just mentioned. ”

"I think it's very likely......"

Before Peng Bo finished speaking, Liang Xin ran in, "Horse team, colleagues from the technical department found a small piece of plant in the gap between the fingers of Qiu Qingfeng's tightly clenched fist, and it was preliminarily determined to be aquatic weeds. ”

"Aquatic weeds?" Tong Rui immediately remembered the embarrassing experience of him and Liang Xin entangled with aquatic plants in the artificial lake last night, "Could it be the aquatic plants in the artificial lake in Lilac Park?" Wang Chenxin must have fallen into the water last night, could it be that this fatal female nurse is really Wang Chenxin? ”

"Whether it is an artificial lake or not, you will know when you check it." Ma Jin didn't know if it was because of Wang Chenxin's disappearance or because of that small piece of aquatic weed, and he also pointed the finger of suspicion at Wang Chenxin. He turned around and looked carefully at the female nurse in the surveillance screen, looking at her body and posture, she was really like Wang Chenxin.

It was supposed to be the day Qiu Qingfeng was discharged from the hospital, but his body was carried out of the ward sideways and transported to the forensic autopsy center for autopsy. Peng Bo inevitably blamed himself in the face of this situation, blaming himself for being too dull, and he was still one step late.

Even if he intervened in the case too late and couldn't rescue Qiu Zhenni in time, what about Qiu Qingfeng? Why didn't he expect that Wang Chenxin didn't go to see Tian Zheng after the golden cicada came out of its shell, but returned directly to the hospital to kill her husband?

That's right, maybe Tian Zheng has died a long time ago, and the person who texted Wang Chenxin to call at Lilac Park with a temporary number is simply her other accomplice, Zhong Qi.

If he had known earlier that there was another accomplice, Zhong Qi, would he have been able to predict that the purpose of Wang Chenxin's golden cicada shelling was not to kill Tian Zheng, but to Qiu Qingfeng?

Wang Chenxin was much more anxious than he imagined.

Peng Bo assessed the current situation, and it seems that the police have begun to accept his view that Wang Chenxin is a suspect in the case, but they did not notice his previous sentence "Of course, it is also possible that she simply has an accomplice who is a hospital worker."

The police would definitely not have thought that Zhong Qi would be Wang Chenxin's accomplice. But in Peng Bo's opinion, the reason why Zhong Qi had to return to the hospital last night was probably to make an internal response to Wang Chenxin, so that if something went wrong with Wang Chenxin in the process of escaping, he could also remedy it in time.

In other words, after Wang Chenxin came out of Lilac Park, she met Zhong Qi, who was picked up nearby, and she took a shower and changed her clothes and returned to Huaci Hospital with Zhong Qi. But Wang Chenxin was too sloppy, so she still took a aquatic weed from the artificial lake to Qiu Qingfeng's ward.

But what Peng Bo didn't understand was that if Zhong Qi was Wang Chenxin's accomplice, why didn't he take advantage of his unique proximity to the water and kill Qiu Qingfeng directly?

Why did Wang Chenxin have to take such trouble to get out of the shell of the golden cicada and disguise herself as a nurse to ask for her life?

Is Wang Chenxin doing this willingly to protect Zhong Qi's thoughtfulness? Avoid him being suspected by the police? Or is Zhong Qi unwilling to do it himself?

And the most important point, why did Wang Chenxin put his hands in his pockets when he appeared in the surveillance? There's no way she's ignorant of the rules of the hospital. If you want to disguise yourself as a nurse, why do you want to reveal that you are not a nurse?

Peng Bo fell into deep thought alone in the corridor of the hospital, especially the second doubt, which made him mind the most. Peng Bo had a hunch that this detail of his hands in his pockets would be the key to solving all the puzzles.
