Chapter 31: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
When I woke up again, I was already lying in the intensive care of the hospital.
I suffered multiple burns on my body, especially the one on my right forearm, which was said to have injured nerve tissue, so I could not fully recover in a short period of time.
I didn't expect a joke in the fire to become a prophecy, and for a period of time in the future, I can really only use my left hand.
In addition, a large amount of carbon monoxide was inhaled in the fire. This time, I lay in a hospital bed for a long time before I stepped out of my bunk and breathed fresh air again.
Fortunately, this time, because it was to help the police solve the case, a series of expenses such as hospitalization, and the gold-rimmed glasses reimbursed me, otherwise, just with my small salary as a detective, not to mention hospitalization, it is estimated that the entire right hand can only be cut and replaced with a prosthesis.
In the first few days of my hospitalization, Lin Xiaoxue and gold-rimmed glasses often came to visit me, but the two of them never appeared together at the same time, probably because Lin Xiaoxue always avoided gold-rimmed glasses.
At first, I was a little disgusted with this girl, who dressed up every day, chattering non-stop in the ward, and her brain was about to explode. But after a while, I can't see her shadow anymore, but I feel a little uncomfortable.
Later, I learned from the mouth of the gold-rimmed glasses that a few days ago, Lin Xiaoxue received a notice that she was going to be transferred back to her original place, and this girl was probably reluctant to part with me, so she left silently alone, without even saying hello.
Let's go back to the black gold case, although this time, I almost died on the side of the bamboo forest, and the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught, but the case is still developing in a good direction on the whole.
First of all, we know that the accomplice who has been cooperating with the suspect at the police station is Uncle Fang.
Because of the coercion, Uncle Fang has helped the suspect destroy evidence many times, and even evaded pursuit. After that, the police also searched for evidence sufficient for conviction from Uncle Fang's home.
However, Uncle Fang had already committed suicide, and because of his past achievements, his colleagues in the police station didn't want to talk too much about it. It's a pity that Uncle Fang has been upright all his life, and when he dies, he bears such an infamy.
Secondly, through the autopsy of the two bodies found in the cellar that day, we also confirmed the identity of the two corpses, which is indeed consistent with my original suspicion.
The female corpse is Fang Guodong's biological mother, and the identity of the male corpse is Fang Guodong.
What I didn't expect was that Fang Guodong's legs had lesions, and both calves became slender and abnormal, and he couldn't even walk upright, let alone kill people.
It is precisely for this reason that most of the careers he chose after returning to China are related to online teaching.
What is puzzling is that Fang Guodong's cause of death was that he took too many sleeping pills to die, but there were no traces of external injuries and binding on his body. In addition, hair samples left by Fang Guodong can be found around the yard, so it can be inferred that Fang Guodong was not coerced by the suspect during this period.
I vaguely feel that Fang Guodong's death is most likely suicide. As for why he did this, it is unknown.
Based on the speculation of the above information, Fang Guodong and the suspect may constitute an accomplice relationship, one is responsible for planning and the other is responsible for implementation, and the two planned this serial murder case of the woman in red that shocked the whole province at the same time.
As for the other DNA sample left at the scene, the police did not have an eyebrow for a while, but the sample information was released quickly. Phnom Penh also used his connections to greet colleagues in the surrounding provinces and cities, and once there is a breakthrough, he will definitely notify me as soon as possible.
Although there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved, but now, the black gold case can be regarded as coming to an end, most of the news has been officially blocked, and only a small amount of information has fallen into the people, which has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
A week later, I was finally transferred to the general ward. One night, Lin Jie knocked on the door of the ward with Ji Huahua.
Huahua looks like she has almost recovered, wearing a flower skirt, no different from an ordinary little girl, but looking at the eye-catching scar on her throat, it is still a little uncomfortable to look at.
She was still as shy as before, hugging Lin Jie's legs, and poking out her little head to say hello to me for a long time. I took a few fruits and handed them to Flowey, and the little girl took the fruit excitedly and hid to the side to play.
Children are always good at forgetting, and it seems that the events of that day did not leave too many shadows on her.
"The doctor said that the recovery is good, and it has basically returned to the normal level of this age!" Lin Jie said lightly, smoked a cigarette, and was about to hand it to me.
Instinctively, I turned my face sideways and waved my hand in refusal. Looking at the cigarette, I will unconsciously think of the fire in the bamboo forest, and in an instant, my chest seems to be blocked by smoke and dust, at least for a while, I will never touch this thing again.
"What are you going to do after that?"
"Let's take Huahua back first, you know, there are still a bunch of troublesome things waiting for me to do." Lin Jie slowly exhaled the smoke and looked at me: "What about you?" The great detective, planning to stay in the hospital all the time? ”
"Hey, I almost lost my life this time, after I was discharged from the hospital, I have to knock Lao Yan a stroke anyway, and then rest for a year or two."
"Less, why are you the kind of person who can stay idle?" Lin Jie opened her coat pocket, took out two large plates of banknotes from it, and threw them directly in front of me, making my eyes almost straight.
"If the police have any news of the murderer, notify me as soon as possible, or that sentence, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of guy can kill him."
"Damn, I'm almost thirty years old, is it necessary to be so serious?" I said this, but I quickly stuffed the money into the drawer, afraid that she would suddenly regret it.
I estimate that these two stacks of banknotes, at least 30,000 or 40,000, are enough for me to live for a while. Besides, Lin Jie is a female tyrant, this kind of money that is almost given for nothing, don't want it in vain.
"It is necessary, of course it is necessary, there are some things that you can't forget for a lifetime!" She extinguished the cigarette butt and looked at me with wide eyes: "Aren't you the same?" It's been three years, is Tang Yirou missing? ”
I shook my head helplessly, and slowly spoke, "No... ”
Tang Yirou is the fiancée I have been looking for, who mysteriously disappeared at the engagement ceremony three years ago, and her life and death are still unknown.
She graduated from the same police academy as me, and was a well-known school flower in the university in those years, and I have the same keen sense of smell as her when it comes to criminal investigation.
After Tang Yirou's disappearance, I suspected that she was involved in some kind of incident, but I used multiple relationships and never responded. Lao Yan said that he would help me find her whereabouts, but to this day, there doesn't seem to be much response.
"Forget it, everyone has their own grievances, it's useless to talk about it!" Lin Jie snuffed out the cigarette butt, and then left the ward with Ji Huahua.
At this time, it was already dusk, looking at the sunset outside the window, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
At this time, Phnom Penh Glasses called me, saying that the Heijin City Police Department had held a party in order to make up for the temporary cancellation of the welcome party when I first arrived. Originally, I didn't want to participate, but those police officers were too enthusiastic to refuse.
When he arrived at the place, he moved three boxes of Qingdao Chunsheng without saying a word, and each police officer unscrewed the bottle and began to pour it violently. I know that in the past few days, they have endured too many grievances and pressures, and at this moment, they really need to release themselves.
I don't care about the identity of the patient, unscrew the wine bottle, there is not much nonsense, I drink with them all over the world, after experiencing life and death together, some words are still mixed into the wine, drink it all.
After drinking with Lao Zhao, I drank with Lao Li, drank with Lao Li, and Lao Zhang waited, I didn't have any excuses, and everyone was drunk all at once.
After three rounds of drinking, the phone, the phone, and the gold-rimmed glasses suddenly rang, he pressed the answer button, said a few words, and suddenly, the whole person's face turned white.
A moment later, he bypassed the revelry crowd and pulled me to a remote place, where I had been drinking to the fullest, and was naturally a little upset when he interrupted me.
He looked at me with a solemn face, and said in a low voice: "The DNA sample found in the small courtyard before, there is news. ”
