Chapter 10: The Tall Man
The phone still rang for a long time, and the dial tone made Ran Sinian's bad intuition stronger and stronger, and finally, Tao Cuifen answered the phone.
"What? In the hospital? Poisoning? Gastric lavage rescue? Ran Sinian summed up a few key words from Tao Cuifen's incoherent words. After asking which hospital it was, Ran Sinian went out to take a taxi.
On the way, Ran Sinian was almost certain that Rao Peier did not have an accident, the accident could be a car accident, it could be an argument with someone, it could be a UFO hit, but it would definitely not be poisoning. This is definitely a deliberate murder, who wants to murder Rao Peier, a third-tier actor who has no job recently and has no exposure? Of course not, I wanted to murder her not because of her work and identity, but because she, a little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, was able to investigate the rape case of some big man!
It seems that the killer has dispatched again, and this time the target is Rao Pei'er. But why not yourself? Ran Sinian pondered, maybe the killer also investigated his background and knew that he was a difficult guy, once he didn't hit with a single hit, he would subconsciously find the killer in his dream after he escaped?
Ran Sinian rushed to the hospital and saw Tao Cuifen with tears on his face and panicked at the door of the rescue room.
"Pell accompanied me to the beauty salon, and then we went shopping, went to Peel's favorite dessert shop to eat cake and drink coffee, but who knows, Pell didn't go wrong not long after drinking coffee, holding her stomach and moaning in pain, and finally fell to the ground and convulsed and foamed at the mouth......" Tao Cuifen couldn't go on, covering her face and crying.
Ran Si patted Tao Cuifen on the shoulder, helped her sit down, said a few words of comfort, and then stared at the door of the rescue room and waited. He can't tell the mood at this moment, there are depression, sadness, fear, anger, in short, it is very complicated, and the element of self-blame is getting bigger and bigger, if he is willing to participate in the investigation, is Rao Peier still noisy and jumping around him at this time, instead of lying in the emergency room and life and death are uncertain?
Ran Sinian knew his subconscious, and once secretly laughed at Rao Peier's tendons, ignorant and fearless, thinking that she was too simple, simple to the point of stupidity. And subconsciously, Ran Sinian thinks that he is better than Rao Peier, whether it is IQ or EQ, he has superior pride. He should be dominant, and Rao Peier should belong to a subordinate position in terms of personality and gender. But now, Ran Sinian feels that he is a little shorter than Rao Peier, and he is a lot shorter than Rao Peier in personality, just because he is shrinking at home and trying to suppress his curiosity, and when he looks at the whole incident coldly, Rao Peier is facing the threat of a killer.
Finally, the doctor came out of the emergency room and gave a reassuring conclusion that Rao Peier was out of danger.
After going through the hospitalization procedures and paying all the fees, Ran Sinian did not stay at Rao Peier's bedside, but went directly to Qu Zichong.
Before the dessert shop closed, Qu Zichong, Fan Xiao, and of course, Ran Sinian hurried in.
Qu Zichong briefly talked to the owner of the dessert shop about the purpose of the trip to investigate the poisoning of a female customer in the evening, and the boss politely told Qu Zichong that the police had arrived to investigate not long after the female customer was taken to the hospital. Qu Zichong asked the boss to hand over the surveillance video of the female customer before and after the poisoning, and the boss smiled and said that the police who came before also had to go through the surveillance video, but unfortunately, the position where the poisoned female customer sat was the dead corner of the entire store, and it was also the dead end of the monitoring probe, so the monitoring was useless at all.
Ran Sinian then remembered that Rao Peier said that she would wear sunglasses when she went to public, and when she went to a restaurant to eat or something, she would choose the most remote corner seat, just because she felt that she was a little star no matter what she said, a public figure, and she didn't want to be found asking for an autograph or a group photo. Unexpectedly, that killer actually took advantage of this and dared to openly poison in such a public place!
"Let's show me the surveillance footage," Ran Sinian said to the boss before turning to Qu Zichong and saying, "That poisoned guy will definitely appear under the other probes, maybe I can find him." ”
Qu Zichong was a little surprised, "Si Nian, so you want to participate in the investigation again?" ”
Ran Sinian wanted to say that I was just participating in the investigation of Rao Peier's poisoning case, hesitated, and simply gritted his teeth, if I want to participate, I should be thorough, anyway, I and Rao Peier have already entered the sight of killers and big shots.
"Yes, I will participate in the investigation and go all out, but I also have one condition, Team Qu, you have to send someone to protect Rao Peier in the hospital 24 hours a day until the case is solved."
Qu Zichong snapped his fingers, "No problem, I sent Liang Yuan to be close, and it is definitely close to protect Rao Pei'er, it is also more convenient to find a policewoman, and Xiaoliang is very excited, careful, and good among female policemen, you can rest assured." ”
On the car home, Ran Sinian watched it on a tablet, and watched the surveillance video of the dessert shop in the evening at a normal playback speed. When he was about to get home, Ran Sinian also finished watching the video. The surveillance video of the dessert shop is quite clear, but unfortunately there are so many dead corners that cannot be photographed.
"That's right, Xiao Fan," before Ran Sinian got out of the car, he remembered that Fan Xiao mentioned that he had found Xiao Qian when he called him, "You said you found Xiao Qian?" ”
"Yes, our Internet police found the IP address where the video was originally posted, and also found the corresponding residence, and the girl who lived in that house was a girl named Mi Yueqi." Fan Xiao reported.
"Very good, you take this Mi Yueqi to the police station early tomorrow morning, and we will meet at the police station." After Ran Sinian finished speaking, he closed the car door, turned around and trotted into the door.
Qu Zichong knew that Ran Sinian was in a hurry to go home and sleep, and at this critical moment, this sleeping little god stick had to rely on dreams to find clues to solve the case.
"Team Qu, Mr. Ran seems to have become interested in the case all of a sudden, is it because of Miss Rao?" Fan Xiao asked Qu Zichong stupidly, "Does he like Miss Rao?" ”
Qu Zichong subconsciously shook his head and whispered: "The woman he likes is called Miao Mei, if he can empathize so quickly, it won't be the Ran Sinian I know." ”
Ran Sinian quickly fell asleep and re-entered the surveillance footage, shuttling through the surveillance range of several cameras, looking at everyone coming and going in the dessert shop, including the clerks and customers. This dessert shop belongs to a relatively high-end store, and the things are not cheap, so there are not many customers, a total of more than a dozen people, which is more convenient for Ran Sinian to find someone.
Soon, Ran Sinian found a suspicious man, a tall burly man with a whomp meter nine. He also came in shortly after Rao Peier entered the store, scanned the environment of the store, and his eyes stayed on Rao Peier for three seconds, and then sat in another surveillance corner.
It's him, it must be him. This man is tall, could it be the murderer who killed Jiang Jing as seen by the voyeuristic witness?
Soon, the tall man walked out of the blind corner and walked in the direction of the bathroom, and Ran Sinian saw his right hand in his pocket like a zoomed-in close-up, as if he was digging out something, it should be poison. The hospital said that Rao Peier was likely to have taken a certain dose of arsenic, and the tall man should have taken out arsenic. As long as the arsenic powder is put into a glutinous rice paper bag, Rao Peier will not pay attention to the small paper bag under the dark coffee or cappuccino foam while she is not paying attention. That's right, Rao's favorite drink is a mocha or a cappuccino.
Ran Sinian walked all the way behind the tall man, his keen eyes catching the man's route, which was not straight to the bathroom at all, but deviated by about 30 degrees, and his target was Rao Pei'er's table.
It's a pity that Rao Pei'er is sitting in a dead corner, and the space that Ran Sinian is in the dream is only within the scope of monitoring, so when he walked to that boundary line, Ran Sinian was equivalent to hitting a black wall, which only tall men could pass through, and he could only stand on this side, knowing nothing about the situation on the other side of the wall.
Ran Sinian woke up in the middle of the night, and he was already sure that this tall man was the guy who poisoned him, and it was likely to be the killer who killed Jiang Jing, but he couldn't be sure if he was the person in the know. He waited for dawn with his eyes open, identified the tall man to Qu Zichong, and asked him to find someone. He has no intention of doing the homework he used to do every night, and now is a critical period, and the most important thing is to find out the killer and the so-called big man.
At four o'clock in the morning, Ran Sinian decided to call Tao Cuifen to ask about Rao Peier's situation and whether Liang Yuan, the personal policewoman sent by Qu Zichong, was in place.
The call was answered by Liang Yuan, and she told Ran Sinian that Tao Cuifen was still resting, and Rao Peier was not awake, but the doctor said that there was no major problem, because the dose of arsenic was not very large, and the rescue was timely, and she could wake up before noon today. In addition, with her personal protection, Ran Sinian can rest assured to help Qu Zichong investigate the case.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Ran Sinian took a taxi to the police station. Before going to work, he walked into Qu Zichong's office and identified the tall man on Qu Zichong's computer.
"Great, this man has an outstanding figure, it must not be difficult to find. Catching this guy is equivalent to cracking Jiang Jing's case, and if he is willing to confess his boss, that is, the big man, it will be even better," Qu Zichong said this hopefully, and actually sighed, and said in a low voice, "That Xiao Qian, that is, Mi Yueqi, is on the way here now, just now Xiao Fan called me and said that this girl actually refused to admit that she was that Xiao Qian." Alas, I can actually understand her, the only eyewitness Sharon is dead, in this case, she is naturally like a frightened bird, it is strange that she can frankly admit her identity. ”
