Chapter 2: Homicide
After thinking about it, I thought it was necessary to go to the reservoir in person, so I went directly to the second courtyard in the afternoon.
The Second Municipal Hospital is a well-known hospital in our city, which has recently moved to the side of the Xinjiang Bridge.
The way to it was a little congested, so I opened the map and went to the second hospital to look at the satellite imaging.
Judging from the satellite imagery, the Second Hospital is located in an open space next to the Xinjiang Bridge, and from the perspective of the overall environment, the Xinjiang River flows from the northeast through the west of the Second Hospital, and then flows away from the east after a circle, while the outpatient building is facing the northeast. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the outpatient building is the most prosperous of the eight gates. Business owners like to open their doors in the northeast, and the rent of the store facing the northeast is more expensive.
Open the door to the northeast, and the water of the river flows from the northeast, this is a typical 'Pixiu Drinking Water Bureau', from the perspective of the Feng Shui Bureau, the business of the hospital must be hot, the location and prosperity of the hospital can absorb the prosperity, the wealth is prosperous, and the business will naturally live.
But the key is that this is a hospital, how can you choose a site where patients are rich and prosperous, you can make a lot of money, but it is a bad moral.
In ancient times, I wished that people in the world would be free from disease, and would rather put medicine on the shelf, but now the second hospital of this city has chosen a place where business is prosperous and makes a fortune, this is not a coincidence, this is the world is declining.
After getting out of the car, I looked around again, and it was the same as the satellite image on the map on my phone, which was really unlucky.
I walked around the outpatient building and walked to the inpatient department through the side path.
The inpatient department sits in the northeast to the southwest, which is the direction of the ugly mountain, and the same as the outpatient building, it is also a prosperous direction.
I pondered for a moment, the business of the outpatient clinic is good, and the business of the inpatient department is also good, this money that is difficult to make money is not easy to make, and it is not guaranteed that something will happen in the future.
But my grandfather at home asked me to be nosy outside, and I regretted Gu Man's matter, and the Second Municipal Court ...... Forget it.
Thinking of this, I withdrew into the inpatient unit.
After checking in with the nurse, I arrived at the door of 208.
A colleague from the bureau stood guard at the door and said hello to me.
"Lao Ding called me to come for you for a while, let's go to dinner."
He nodded, said a polite word to me, and hurried downstairs.
I pushed open the door and saw Gu Man lying on the bed, she hadn't woken up yet, but the black gas on the Yin Hall had faded a lot, but the heart of the hall was slightly purple, although she had escaped, she was still stained with unclean things after all.
What is it? I looked around.
The layout of this ward is also indirect, with the windows opening southeast, the head of the bed from the northeast, and the end of the bed falling to the southwest, which is typical of the direction of the Genmen Kaikun, which is good for the patient's recovery.
But the strange thing is that at the foot of the bed, that is, facing southwest, there is a small table in the position of Kunmen.
What's even more strange is that the flowers in the patient's room are usually placed on the bedside table, but this bouquet of flowers is placed on the small table at the end of the bed.
There was nothing wrong with that, I walked in and saw that the bouquet was budding, and it was placed in a position that just blocked the Kunmen, in other words, it blocked all the water and gas flowing through the Genmen.
And Gu Man's appearance of the green dragon, in this place with abundant water and gas, will not be long before he will wake up with the momentum of this bouquet of flowers waiting to be released.
"Wonderful."
I whispered, but I didn't say anything.
Maybe it was just the nurse or the person who sent the flowers who didn't do it, but it did help Gu Man invisibly.
Although with modern medical technology, Gu Man will wake up sooner or later, but if there is no guidance from a master to break the diluted black gas on the Yin Hall, the year will definitely be bad in the future, at least the case will be solved in two or three days, maybe there will be more dirty things.
I'm not talking nonsense, there are two in everything, her life is good, but after the reservoir is in distress, the momentum of the green dragon in her body has also been opened a gap.
Once the gap is opened, the qi that she used to suppress the dragon position will flow away, and the consequence will be that all the dirty things that normally can't enter her body can take advantage of the void.
I stood at the head of the bed, staring at the faint black aura on her hall in a daze.
Grandpa said that I should be less nosy, and try not to say anything when I encounter problems, otherwise it will be a matter of time before I get into trouble.
But since I have seen it, I cannot ignore it.
"Zhang... Zhang ......"
Just thinking about it, Gu Man suddenly woke up.
"Zhang Yao."
I hurriedly responded, I didn't expect her to wake up so quickly, I subconsciously looked at the bouquet of flowers at the end of the bed, this time, the bouquet of flowers actually bloomed.
lived, and the qi was revitalized.
And the appearance of the green dragon on Gu Man's body was also reborn in the water.
"Lao Ding asked me to come and see you, and by the way, ask about the case."
Gu Man didn't speak, just frowned and kept rubbing his temples.
"You have a headache now when you think about last night, and you'll be fine if you don't want to, right?"
Finally, my words aroused Gu Man's strong interest.
"How do you know?"
Before I could answer, her eyes widened as if she remembered something, as if she had known me all over again.
"It's you, you told me yesterday..."
Poured here, Gu Man finally remembered who I was, it seemed that she had just woken up, and she was not even very clear.
I nodded: "Then can you tell me now, what exactly did you see?" ”
Gu Man stared at my gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"I saw a figure in the water."
"In the water?"
"On the surface or underwater?"
I hurriedly asked, but Gu Man didn't think so, she frowned and was slightly impatient: "Are you crazy, can I see the bottom of the water when it's so dark?" On the water, of course. ”
"And then you're going to chase it?"
"Hmm."
She nodded.
"Do you remember what happened next?"
As soon as I finished asking, Gu Man had a headache again.
"I don't... I remember, and then I was in... ...... in the hospital"
Seeing that she had a terrible headache, I called the nurse, and the nurse said that the patient had just woken up and needed to rest, so she asked me to go out first, and then her attending doctor also came.
I sat on a bench in the hallway, and Gu Man's words made me ponder.
The figure on the water, there is something in the water.
It seemed that I needed to go to the scene to investigate, so I called Lao Ding and explained the current situation.
"The site has been cordoned off."
Lao Ding said on the phone: "You come back first, the file is on your desk, and when Gu Man wakes up, you will go to the scene with her to have a look." ”
I nodded yes, and was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly asked me if I was sure.
"Uncle Ding, what do you mean?"
With the power in Lao Ding's hands, he didn't need to worry about this matter at all, and finally forced it down to close the case directly, but when he asked like this, I instantly felt that things were not simple, at least it made Lao Ding feel the pressure.
Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, he sighed and told me that the case had been interrogated above, and if we couldn't solve it, someone would take over, and all the people involved in the case had to be reviewed.
It's a little interesting, after listening to Lao Ding's words, my heart is even more interested: "Uncle Ding, what kind of person?" ”
"I don't know."
"Uncle Ding, don't be kidding, I'm ......"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Lao Ding's tone was solemn, and it really didn't seem like a joke.
Besides, it's not appropriate for him to joke with me.
"Gu Man said that she saw a figure on the water, and if she could go to the scene to see it, I was sure."
All indications were that this was no ordinary homicide, and surveillance turned out to be a suicide, but I saw something else.
"Okay, Old Man Zhang teaches a good grandson." Listening to my confident tone, Lao Ding also set me a deadline.
He said that he only had three days, and he could still press the matter for three days, after which the case would be transferred to his superiors.
I hung up the phone and was about to go back to the bureau to look at the file, I wanted to say hello to Gu Man before leaving, but the doctors and nurses were still inside.
After the colleague who went to dinner came back, I asked him to talk to Gu Man, and then took a taxi back to the bureau.
On the way, I kept thinking about Lao Ding's words.
Someone up there is going to take over the case; Lao Ding didn't know who they were; He could only hold it down for three days.
Lao Ding usually treats people gently, and he can talk to his colleagues in the bureau, except for the big issues of right and wrong, otherwise no one has heard that Lao Ding is playing official power, but his official rank is clearly there.
I can't think of anything that can make him not get any news, and he can only suppress his existence for three days, at least not in the system.
However, this piqued my interest even more, and after returning to the bureau, I rushed into the office and began to look through the case files that Lao Ding had asked someone to sort out for me.
Three suicides were committed in a reservoir in the suburbs that was about to be abandoned.
The first two cases occurred on the 6th and 15th of last month, and more than a month has passed, and the third occurred half a month ago, and the case was transferred to our serious crime team the next day.
I looked at the case records before the transfer, and I guess I felt that there was no investigation, and ruled out the possibility of his killing, so I handed it over to us to close the case, but it was taken over by Gu Man, which involved more doubts, and Gu Man made a military order in front of Lao Ding, saying that the case would be closed in three days, but it was delayed again and again until now.
It's not that I want to deny Gu Man's strength, she has only been in the bureau for more than a year, and she still has contact with the corners and corners, and she can't get in touch with real serious cases at all, just take some small cases to practice her hands.
It is estimated that Lao Ding just saw her outstanding performance, so he handed over this hopeless case to her, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and if the doctor survived, it would be a credit.
But I never thought that this juncture would be cut off.
In three days, I had already made up my mind to figure out the doorway inside.
There was a video of the crime in the file bag, and I watched it several times, but because the perspective was fixed, I didn't find any key clues.
The only thing that can link these three suicide cases together is the same place where the crime occurred, the same cause of death, the deceased was sluggish and walked to the reservoir at a uniform pace, without the slightest hesitation, and finally drowned.
Is it a coincidence?
The fact that Gu Man is lying in the hospital is enough to prove that it is not a coincidence.
Murder?
Who would do that? What about the motive for the killing? Or even dare to attack the police?
