Lin Youde was like a child who had been caught in the wrong place, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Lao Wu used his presbyopia to read all the contents of the file in this short period of time, and when he looked at Lin Youde again, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"This is a relative of your family? I remember that your hometown is not in Shannan, right? Do you have a friend you know in Shannan? Lao Wu asked, but his tone was not a question.

It is impossible for Lin Youde to say that he saw Song Yingying's "person", so he could only make up an excuse, "I heard about this in the Third Hospital...... I was already cured, but I was about to be discharged from the hospital, and I suddenly died...... Master, don't you think this is a bit similar to Lu Yu's situation? ”

Lao Wu laughed twice, "Have you never been to the hospital to accompany the bed, and you have never been seriously ill?" ”

Lin Youde nodded honestly.

His parents are not yet retired age, and they have never had a serious illness before, among the relatives in the family, only the grandfather of his grandparents' generation fell seriously ill when he was in his third year of high school. Although he still learned about his grandfather's condition, he was not allowed to visit the hospital, and only accompanied the old man for an afternoon when he was discharged from the hospital, and after eating dinner early, he was driven home by the old man to review.

Lin Youde's understanding of the hospital is probably that after being admitted to the police station, he went to the hospital several times to meet the victims.

Lao Wu used the experience of people who came to educate him: "Don't think that if the doctor says that there is no problem, the person will be fine." Each person, with different physical conditions, has different family conditions. For example, what kind of MRI is popular now, how many people can do it at a time? The doctor also confirmed that there was a need for this, and confirmed that there was something wrong with the person, and then gave an MRI examination. The same goes for other tests. Besides, there are still a lot of problems in this world that we don't understand. This is different from our criminal investigation. When a person is killed, there are only a few ways to die, so it is easy to be sure. Even if we are engaged in criminal investigation, there is still a time when we can't find evidence and the case falls into a dead end. You're right? ”

Lin Youde echoed the kindness and wanted to expose this matter.

"You, think about it, don't get into the horns. There are not necessarily more dead people in the hospital than we see in the forensic building. Where are there so many strange things? Lao Wu saw that Lin Youde's words were insincere, but he didn't have a clue how to persuade this kind of thing.

He is about to retire, and he has a lot of time on duty and doing clerical work in the bureau, and he also knows that several major cases in the bureau have been a little strange recently. Even an old and spicy criminal policeman like Officer Qian, who has been engaged in criminal investigation work for many years, is a little suspicious after coming into contact with these cases. Lin Youde, a young man, has been on duty in the hospital for a few days, and it is not surprising that he has an association after listening to some ghost stories in the hospital.

Lu Yu and Fang Xiaotian had already shown abnormalities before they were victimized, and they had also investigated and recorded them in the police station. These records may also be one of the triggers for Lin Youde's strange thoughts.

In the end, he is young and has not handled many cases. Yaocheng is also a city with good public security, and the vicious cases investigated in recent years are all cruel types, but they are not unusual.

Lao Wu thought about it, went to find a few typical cases that he had participated in a long time ago, and took the file to Lin Youde.

"You can't take the dossier out, you know. When will you be on duty at the hospital next? ”

Lin Youde held the heavy dossier and answered Lao Wu's question with some confusion.

"Well, that's right, you just look at this case first." Old Wu pulled out a volume from the stacked files, "Take a look." Young people, long insights. Not only do you have to learn new forensic techniques, but you also have to look at previous cases. Cases are all done by people, and the means that can be come up with are always the same. Learn more. ”

Lin Youde was as obedient as ever in front of his master.

From the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to close the door to the new world that had just opened.

Thinking so, Lin Youde sat down with peace of mind and opened the file.

A slight musty smell wafted from the paper file.

Lin Youde was curious and carefully recognized the handwriting on the yellowed paper one by one.

On October 4, 1999, an intentional homicide case occurred in the Yaocheng No. 2 Detention Center, and the suspect Yu Chunfeng was detained in the No. 4 cell of the No. 2 Detention Center on suspicion of intentional injury on September 20, 1999; The victim, Wang Guanglin, was also detained in cell No. 4 on suspicion of fraud on September 25, 1999. The two had quarrels over trivial matters such as eating, bathing, going to the toilet, and being on duty at night, and had many quarrels and one physical altercation before the incident, but they were stopped by the rest of the cell and the detention center, and on September 30, 1999, they were placed in cells 6 and 1 respectively, and were separated from each other. On the morning of October 4, 1999, during outdoor activities, Yu Chunfeng and Wang Guanglin had another dispute; After the lights went out that night, Yu Chunfeng smashed open the doors of cells 6 and 1, entered cell 1, and attacked Wang Guanglin, who was on duty at the time, causing Wang Guanglin to die on the spot.

Here's how the case went.

In the file, there are records of the police inquest at the scene, and a large area of blood stains can be seen in the cell, the blood stains have been trampled into a mess, and footprints are everywhere, which shows the bloody and chaotic scene at that time. The autopsy results showed that Wang Guanglin was directly smashed open by Yu Chunguang. Obviously without using tools, Yu Chunguang's fist was like a hammer, easily smashing the hard skull of the human body.

Yu Chunfeng's lock-picking method is also incredible. At that time, the guards did not use electronic locks, but iron locks. Yu Chunfeng smashed open two iron locks with his hammer-like fist and broke into the cell in a grand manner. His commotion woke up many people, no one expected him to do such a thing, and there was absolutely no way to stop him. He killed Wang Guanglin in full view of everyone.

From the testimonies of dozens of detainees in several cells at that time, we can see how shocking this incident was. They could not remain calm as they described the whole thing or answered police interrogations.

The facts of the case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Both human and physical evidence are sufficient.

Just very simple cases.

If you want to say that it is incredible, it is that Yu Chunfeng's fist is incredibly hard.

Lin Youde thought so, but it was difficult to identify the untidy handwriting of the criminal police handling the case, and read the testimony of Chunfeng himself again.

“…… I heard a voice. On the day Wang Guanglin was sent in, the top brother asked him what his name was and what he had done, and he said that his name was Wang Guanglin, and he was framed and said that he cheated money. At that time, a voice popped into my head, telling me that it was him, killing him, and kept talking, and kept talking, and kept talking......"

“…… When he eats, he uses his left hand, and when he holds the spoon, this finger (left ring finger) will be cocked. When I saw that picture, another voice came out of my head, and it was still the same sentence, it was him, kill him, ......"

“…… The way he looked at me was very wrong, his provocative eyes, and he looked down on me and deliberately found fault. I pee and he's all twittering next to me......"

“…… There were two people between us, but I could hear him talking in his sleep. He said he was going to kill me, he was going to kill me......"

“…… I'm here for self-preservation, and I'm defending myself......"

“…… I didn't slam the door. The door was pushed and opened. Hand...... His hand was hurt when he hit him. I really didn't slam the door. The door lock opened on its own. I don't know why...... I was in self-defense, and he wanted to kill me first. If I don't kill him, he'll rush over and kill me......"

“…… I didn't mean to change shifts with people. I don't know when he was on duty that night, I don't know what time he was on duty. Really, that night, while I was on duty, the door lock opened by itself. I know that the lock on his side must have been opened, and if I don't kill him first, he'll kill me......"

Yu Chunfeng repeatedly emphasized in his testimony that he killed Wang Guanglin for self-preservation. But he could not provide evidence that Wang Guanglin planned to harm him. He was like he had hysteria, and he was babbling over and over again.

The police also conducted an evaluation of Chunfeng's mental condition.

However, according to the testimony of other personnel in the cell, after Yu Chunfeng clashed with Wang Guanglin that morning, he inquired about Wang Guanglin's night duty hours and changed shifts with the personnel in his cell. All indications show that he attacked Wang Guanglin in a planned way, and he was extremely powerful when he committed the crime, but his sanity was absolutely normal.

Lin Youde watched the whispers of the spring breeze many times, and then looked at the photos of Wang Guanglin's body, and suddenly remembered a strange story in the police system.

I don't know which one is in the detention center in Yaocheng, but in short, there is a detention center, and the suicide rate of detainees is higher than that of other detention centers. Over time, fewer suspects were sent to that detention center. Compared to the cramped and poor conditions of other detention centers, some of the cells can even be single. Single rooms are not a good thing. No one is watching, and it is difficult to detect the suicide of the suspect in time. However, even in the multi-person room, there are still suspects who have bizarrely succeeded in committing suicide, and they can't be stopped. So there's no difference.

It is said that there was a problem with the location of the detention center itself. During the Republican period, it was a prison for felons and executed prisoners, but it was overused during the war, and countless civilians and righteous soldiers died there. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was converted into a detention center, a cloudy place, and it was cold in the summer without air conditioning. Half of the suspects sent in will be affected and have abnormal mental conditions. The discipline that works there will also be a little different from normal people.

Lin Youde forgot where he heard this strange story. There are not many well-known anecdotes in Yaocheng, and they have not shown their faces in major historical events. Looking in the local history of Yaocheng, you will never find such a prison full of crimes. If there really was such a place, Yaocheng would have built it into a memorial hall and publicized it well.

Lin Youde's eyes straightened unconsciously, and he was stunned to see the handwriting on the file become blurred and distorted in his vision.

"How? Have you finished reading it? That's a lot of content, right? Lao Wu took the water cup and walked behind Lin Youde.

He walked quietly, startling Lin Youde.

"Master, do you want to help me, or do you want to scare me?" Lin Youde made a wooden face.

"I can't be blamed for walking silently. I'm used to it. The sound of walking is so loud, you must not expose it when you stare at people? You should also practice this skill, and when you have to keep an eye on it in the future. Lao Wu said, looking at the file spread out on the table, "How did you see the testimony of the prisoner?" Is this incomprehensible? My master's word, crab crawling, looks like it's hard. ”

Lin Youde asked, "This case was handled by your old master?" ”

"yes. I followed the master to review this Yu Chunfeng. Lao Wu gestured to his temples, "He was fighting with people outside, several people were beating one person, and the young man was also ruthless, just like in other people's movies, staring at a person and beating him, or beating his head." At that time, CT was not popular, and I was beaten in the head like this, and I didn't even think to take a film when I was sent to the hospital. Oh, it was filmed. Lao Wu thought for a while, "I took an X-ray, I saw that his head was fine, he was quite normal, he had no problem talking and walking, so he should be beaten." He is 1.9 meters tall, full of muscles, and his neck is as thick as a person's thigh, and he looks very resistant to beating. No one took it seriously. He didn't think there was anything in those fists himself. ”

Lin Youde heard the taste, "You mean, he was beaten in the head abnormally?" ”

"yes. I should have broken my head on the day I entered the detention center. But in the same room, as well as the discipline in the detention center, they were all unaccustomed to people who had just come in, and they didn't take it seriously. Later, he often sat in the corner silently, didn't talk to people, and people thought he was like this. Several of his friends who beat people with him said that he was usually very cheerful and had a hot temper. In the few days he entered the detention center, before the victim came in, he didn't see this kind of character at all. ”

Lao Wu still remembers this case he handled vividly.

Although no definite medical evidence was found when handling the case, the handlers in the police station, detention center, and procuratorate chatted with each other, and they all naturally thought of Yu Chunfeng being beaten on the head a lot.

Later, the use of CT and MRI became common, and when the police handled injury cases, they would also pay attention to whether the person had been hit on the head, and even if the person had nothing abnormal, they would remind the person to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

In this way, Lao Wu recalled the cases he had handled before, and he strengthened his conjecture back then.

Lin Youde looked at the yellowed file, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Master, is this second detention center the detention center where the suicide rate of prisoners is particularly high?" ”

Lao Wu looked at Lin Youde in surprise, "What is the suicide rate that is particularly high?" ”

"Isn't there a legend in our Yao City? There is a detention center, and many people go crazy after entering, and some will commit suicide with a particularly tough attitude, and they will not give up until they die. Lin Youde said stubbornly.

Lao Wu's eyes bulged out behind the lenses, "There is still this kind of legend?" What is it? What are the popular stories among your young people? I've never heard of anything like this before. ”

Lin Youde was stunned, "Is that so?" ”

"I've never heard of it in all the years I've been a police officer." Lao Wu thought about it carefully and affirmed, "Is there really a detention center like this, and it is not allowed to be criticized every year?" Have you ever seen this kind of circular criticism? ”

Yes and no.

Lin Youde regained his composure.

"You young people like to make up this kind of story now?" Lao Wu shook his head, "Where are there so many gods and ghosts." It's all a rumor. You're a police officer, based on facts. ”

Lin Youde lowered his head in shame.

That's right, based on facts, not on rumors.

After thinking about it, Lin Youde remembered Song Yingying that he saw with his own eyes, and he also found out the "facts" about Song Yingying......

"Don't be cranky. Do your job well. This kind of gossip is passed around by people outside, but do you still believe it as a policeman? Lao Wu taught Lin Youde a few words, assigned him the study task of reading all the files, and left with a teacup.

Lin Youde looked at the thick stack of files and sighed.

What is the truth?

Maybe he will have to wait until the next time he is on duty in the hospital and meets Song Yingying or not, before he can get the answer.

But before that, it's also good to look at these cases more.

He needs to learn from that.

No matter whether he meets Song Yingying next time or not, he can't panic.

Although it was planned like this, Lin Youde didn't expect that the next time he met Song Yingying, the scene would be so chaotic.

"Go and call the director! I'll do CPR first! ”

"You all get out! Get out of the way! ”

"Adrenaline!"

Lin Youde stood outside the ward, still carrying the cold air outside, and his body had not yet been warmed by the central air conditioning of the hospital, when he saw the crowd gathered at the door of the ward, and the little nurse rushing out of the ward.

"What's the matter......" Lin Youde looked at Captain Huang with a blue face.

The team leader glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Fang Xiaotian strongly asked to talk to us and asked about the case. When she heard the news of Lu Yu's death, she didn't catch her breath. ”

This is not an exaggeration.

Fang Xiaotian really couldn't catch his breath, and his heart froze in an instant, as if he had forgotten to beat for a while, which put Fang Xiaotian's entire body in crisis.

The director of the intensive care department is not young, but he is walking like a fly. Other young doctors and nurses ran faster and completely filled the wards that had been vacated after the police had withdrawn.

Fang Xiaotian, who was surrounded by a white coat, opened his eyes, and there was still light in his eyes.

Lin Youde saw tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes through the cracks in the crowd.

"When she woke up for the first time, she saw Lu Yu."

Lin Youde subconsciously turned around and saw Song Yingying standing beside him.

Song Yingying watched the rescue process with a blank face, "She said that she saw Lu Yu that day. She repeatedly asked your colleagues, is Lu Yu really dead? ”

The repeated words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Youde's heart.

He understood what Song Yingying was alluding to.

"I saw my mother that day." Song Yingying directly clarified her guess, "If Fang Xiaotian hadn't woken up for a short time and fell asleep immediately, she might have died that day." ”

Lin Youde gritted his teeth and forced himself to look at the ward.

"They're all dead." He faintly heard voices coming from the hospital room.

The thin voice, like a thread, burrows into the ear.

"Are you going to die too? Don't rush. Take it easy. Let's start by thinking about something pleasant. Not. Nothing pleasant. Then think about the terrible things. I've heard that you suffered a lot of things before you were sent in......" Yu Yu said with a sense of demagogy.

Lin Youde was in a trance for a while, and he didn't notice the strangeness of this for a while.

Song Yingying, who was beside her, suddenly flew into the ward.

In the white coat, a doctor turned his head.

The moment he turned his head, he became a firefly in the night, so conspicuous in a group of medical staff who were anxiously rescuing Fang Xiaotian.

One of his hands was still attached to the top of Fang Xiaotian's head, but the other hand was raised, passed through the body of a doctor next to him, and accurately pinched Song Yingying who rushed towards him.

"It's you. You've become a ghost. His tone changed from calm to agitated, "It's the first time I've met a ghost. Fresh material, so good. What is the difference between when you are dead and when you are alive? ”

Lin Youde came back to his senses, the cold sensation ran from the soles of his feet to the ends of his hair, and the feeling of weakness emanated from the inside of his body to the surface of his skin.

He realized that this was the murderous demon. Fang Xiaotian is in a catastrophe, and Song Yingying doesn't seem to be the opponent of the evil ghost.

Now, what should he do?
