Chapter 16: The Missing Little Boy
"Uncle Huang? What did you say? I was stunned, a little doubtful that I had heard it wrong, in my cognition, Uncle Huang is definitely the kind of person who loves the criminal police from the bottom of his bones, and can even be said to be paranoid, even if he is suppressed, he can't be promoted for the rest of his life, and he has no intention of giving up, but at this time he actually said the last time?
"I have done the internal retirement, and I will retire after completing this case." Uncle Huang said lightly.
"Retirement? Because Shen Yue is still that person? I asked in a calm tone after a while, and even I wondered how I could be so calm, because I was too angry or my heart was cold?
"I was recruited into the police station at the age of twenty-two, and I am forty-six years old this year, and it can be said that half of my life has been poured into the police profession.
Uncle Huang took a puff of cigarette and continued: "You know, my relationship with my son is not very good, because of the incident when I was a child, he has always opposed me to being a criminal policeman, and it has only gotten better in the past few years, willing to talk to me, he graduated from college last year, I wanted to ask him to find a job but he refused, this year he found a girlfriend, and the two of them have begun to talk about marriage, and the woman's family wants to buy a house." ”
"Although I have a clear conscience for so many years, I haven't saved any belongings, and I can make a down payment or something if I take out all my old money, but I don't want to wronged those two children, so I want to wait for them to get married and give them a car, and it is best to pay for the house in full, how many years do you think it will take me to be a police officer to earn enough money?"
Through the smoke, I saw the pain in Uncle Huang's eyes, he was absolutely reluctant to leave the criminal police team, but he was not only a man, but also a father and a husband.
People are like this, you can't live only for yourself all your life, and life often doesn't always go your way.
"Uncle Huang, I still have a little money there." I decided to make one last effort.
"Okay, I don't know anything about you?" Uncle Huang waved his hand and interrupted me directly, "I've already thought about it, after leaving the criminal police team, I plan to open a private detective agency, now this line of work is more popular, and the money comes quickly, besides, isn't the nature of the work of a private detective and a criminal police officer similar?" ”
I held back the sadness in my heart and stopped persuading him, just as Uncle Huang understood me, I also knew that Uncle Huang's decision could not be changed by others.
As for the private detective, I can only bury the bitterness in my heart, maybe many people will feel very majestic when they hear this name, and they can also think of Detective Conan, who is like a god in solving crimes, and he is also shouting to the police.
But in fact, in our country, private detectives do not have the right to get involved in criminal cases, at most they investigate privately, and then provide evidence clues to the police, but most private detectives do the work of tracking.
The husband has a mistress, and the wife hires you to find evidence.
Your wife is having an affair, and your husband hires you to catch the adulterer.
Or if a rich man's cat or puppy is lost, he will also entrust you to help find it.
Although the remuneration is indeed generous, these things are not suitable for Uncle Huang.
Despite this, there is also a saying called pity for the hearts of parents in the world.
I returned to my seat with a bunch of materials and handed them to Zhang Wei and Qi Yan, "Time is pressing, it's only one morning, you two will familiarize yourself with all the information, pay attention to the suspicious places inside, and ask the people in the second group if you don't understand." ”
"Boss, what's the case?" Zhang Wei glanced at the information in front of him and asked curiously.
"The boy is missing." I said directly that I would arrange for two people to familiarize themselves with the case, and I would accompany Uncle Huang to the hospital and meet the parents of the missing boy.
Wang Liangliang and the entire second group have been investigating for half a month without any clues, and it is foreseeable that this case must be unusual, and now there is an ultimatum from above, and there are only three days.
It was very difficult to find the missing boy in three days, so they had to work separately.
"Isn't this the case of the second group?" Zhang Wei flipped it over and asked a little puzzled.
"Well, the two groups can't be broken and naturally transferred to our group, who makes us a group?" I said lightly, and then turned to leave, not in the mood to tease Zhang Wei about the incompetent second group.
I drove Uncle Huang to the District People's Hospital, and the hospital also sent someone to assist in the investigation, who was a section chief of the general department and a security guard.
After all, the child was lost in the hospital, and even if the hospital was reluctant, it had to assist the police in the investigation.
"Was there any surveillance at the time?" I asked directly, the incident happened yesterday afternoon, and the police had already come to investigate at that time, so they should have called up the surveillance.
Therefore, the section chief said directly: "Yes, two police officers, please come with me." ”
The section chief is in his thirties, with a white complexion, wearing a white coat, and his name is written on the nameplate on his chest - Qi Haiguang.
When I came to the monitoring room, a security guard skillfully called up the surveillance at that time, and I sat in front of the computer with Uncle Huang and looked carefully.
This is a surveillance picture of the corridor, there are a lot of people, it looks very chaotic, and suddenly, a young woman in her thirties walks out of the ward with a boy in her hands.
"That's him." Qi Haiguang pointed to the little boy in the surveillance and said.
The little boy is only three or four years old, and he looks very cute, with that kind of pot lid and bangs, which is a bit of a Han style, but from the fact that he is trying to break free from the young woman's hand, it can be seen that this is not a stable master.
As if the young woman was looking to see some patient, a middle-aged woman stepped out of the ward to see her off, and as the two said goodbye, the boy suddenly broke free from the young woman's hand and ran towards the side of the corridor.
Seeing this, the young woman seemed to scream, but the boy did not respond, and continued to run forward, and finally the young woman had no choice but to say goodbye to the middle-aged woman, so she walked in the direction of the boy, and the surveillance video ended here.
"Any other videos?" I asked, frowning, it's hard to find anything useful in this short paragraph.
The security guard glanced at Qi Haiguang before saying, "It's gone." ”
"Really?" I stared at the security guard and continued to ask.
"Comrade policeman, it's like this, that corridor leads to the stairs, and our hospital didn't have cameras installed in the stairs, so we didn't take pictures of the back." Qi Haiguang took over and said.
"And where does the stairs lead? And the camera at the gate didn't catch the boy's trace either? I asked seriously, and Uncle Huang next to me motioned to the security guard to replay the surveillance footage just now.
"The stairs are connected to each floor, and there are cameras in the lobby and doorway on the first floor, but the little boy was not present in these surveillances at that time." Qi Haiguang replied unhurriedly, there seemed to be no flaws, but he was too calm, calm as if he was camouflaging, or hiding something.
"So you mean the little boy disappeared into thin air in your hospital?" I looked into Qi Haiguang's eyes.
"We don't know this, and the main responsibility for this matter is not ours, we can't blame others for losing their children in the hospital, right?" Qi Haiguang still couldn't help but look away, as if he didn't dare to look at me, and this result was either fear or being a thief, in my opinion, Qi Haiguang obviously belonged to the latter.
"The stairs should also lead to the underground parking lot, right?" I suddenly let out.
"Ahh Qi Haiguang's body trembled, and then replied calmly, "Yes, it also leads to the underground parking lot." ”
"What about the surveillance in the underground parking lot?" I pressed every step of the way, and if the stairs didn't have cameras, it would make sense, but the underground parking lot was a must.
"The camera in the underground parking lot is broken, and it happened to be under maintenance yesterday, so it didn't work."
"Oh, broken? Such a coincidence? A sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth, through the answer just now, coupled with such a coincidental thing, it all showed a problem.
Either there is a problem with the hospital, or there is a problem with this Qi Haiguang, just when I was about to press further, Uncle Huang's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Okay, you can help us make a copy of this video, and we'll take it back."
Although Uncle Huang was about to copy, the meaning of his words was to remind me that the matter would end here for the time being, although I was puzzled, but I still didn't ask according to Uncle Huang's meaning.
After getting the copy and leaving, I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Huang, why didn't you let me ask just now?" There must be something wrong with that Qi Haiguang. ”
"So what? Do you have proof? This incident shows that there is a problem with the hospital, but the son-in-law of the president of the District People's Hospital is the secretary, and our bureau has been under a lot of pressure because of this case. Uncle Huang said to me unhurriedly.
When I heard Uncle Huang's words, I suddenly realized that although he was only a deputy position, he was directly in charge of the entire public security system in Qingshan City, and the secretary, as the person next to the leader, as long as he asked, no matter who he meant, he would represent the leader, not to mention the director of the sub-bureau, even the director of the city bureau had to listen honestly.
It doesn't matter if the case is still in Wang Liangliang's hands, but now Uncle Huang is in charge, once he is held accountable, the first person to be punished is Uncle Huang, not to mention that he will retire internally, whether he can retire safely is still a question, this is not only a matter of face, but also involves a series of welfare guarantees, at least don't think about pensions.
"So what now?" I honked my horn with some annoyance and asked after a little venting.
"Let's go back to the bureau first and check the little boy's family." Uncle Huang was still indifferent, and he didn't see any angry expression.
"Uncle Huang, what did you find?" My heart moved, thinking of the previous monitoring over and over again, and finally taking a copy, there must be something to be found in it.
"The little boy deliberately broke free from his mother's hand, and his eyes were anxious, and he didn't appear on other floors or the first floor after leaving, which means that he went straight to the parking lot, and the parking lot camera is just broken, what can you think of?"
