Lin Youde didn't fall asleep this night.

This is not surprising either.

After having experienced so many things during the day and fainting once, his spirit has been in a state of high tension.

The news that Song Yingying brought to him only lightened his burden a little, and the pressure of reality still existed.

The most urgent thing is the "unemployment" he may face.

How to disguise himself as a "normal person" really stumped Lin Youde. He didn't want to go to psychiatry, even though he knew that the psychiatric treatment in a regular hospital was not as scary as it was in the movie, and that mental illness had become more and more known and recognized by people in the past few years, and it was no longer so scary, but for a person who was normal in itself, it was definitely not a good thing to be treated as a psychiatric person. The worst thing is probably going to evolve into a horror movie plot: he is obviously a normal person, but he has been locked up in a mental hospital and driven crazy by life.

Lin Youde felt that he would not be so miserable.

The more realistic tragic method is to lose your job and be expelled from the police force. Needless to say, parents, family, and friends have strange eyes. Then look for a new job and start a new life...... I'm afraid that by then, his normal spirit will also have problems, and he should really need to see a doctor and take medicine.

Lin Youde is very negative and pessimistic. Because he knew very well that it was too late for him to lie and say that he hadn't seen the ghost.

Time went backwards, and he had many opportunities to hide this matter, just like Song Yingying said, pretending not to see it, and letting Song Yingying and the ghosts deal with the problem of evil ghosts.

But if you think about it, he can't seize every opportunity.

It was impossible for him to pretend not to see Li Yun and let a stranger wander around the corridor of the intensive care department to observe Fang Xiaotian;

It was impossible for him to pretend that it was his hallucination after Li Yun disappeared, not to investigate this suspicious element, and to let the danger exist around Fang Xiaotian, the victim;

It is impossible for him to learn about Song Yingying's existence, and after saying "oh", he obediently believed Song Yingying's words and did not check the authenticity of the whole thing;

It is even more impossible that when Fang Xiaotian and Song Yingying were in danger, they stood outside the ward in a daze and let the evil ghost kill the two of them......

The only chance was probably when Officer Qian rushed into the ward and forcibly controlled the rhythm of the conversation, making him speechless in front of Dr. Wang and the team leader, and he couldn't lie.

Thinking about it this way, the object of accusation is Officer Qian.

Officer Qian didn't seem to be afraid of being treated as mentally ill at all, and didn't care about the eyes of the people around him.

Lin Youde wanted to complain about Officer Qian, but after recalling it, his mood turned into envy.

I don't know where Officer Qian got the confidence.

Even if he has been in the police force for many years, has made outstanding achievements, and is still an old partner with Captain Huang, and is also very prestigious in the police force, after doing this kind of thing and saying such things, it is impossible for him to continue to stay in the team to handle cases without any obstacles, right?

Lin Youde himself was put on vacation, and Officer Qian estimated that he would not be able to escape.

Just thinking like this, Lin Youde heard a knock on the door.

In the middle of the night, outside the single ward of the hospital, someone knocked on the door, which really scared Lin Youde.

His first reaction was the nurse who was doing the rounds, and when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Busy inpatient nurses don't have the good habit of knocking on the door and waiting. Patients have no privacy in front of medical staff. The medical environment of Yaocheng Central Hospital is not bad, but if you change to a worse hospital or a hospital of the same level in some places, the big ward is like the chase shop of a dilapidated hotel, and there is no privacy between patients. Being able to cure the disease and survive is the most important thing. Instead, privacy is the least important thing.

Lin Youde's thoughts turned sharply, and his heart was raised.

If it's not a nurse, who would it be?

His parents?

It couldn't be, it was already past the visitation time, and he had called home before, made excuses, and didn't let his parents know about his fainting and hospitalization.

And who else is there?

The devil?

Lin Youde felt scared, but he soon found that he didn't have that inexplicable chill.

Knock knock.

There was two more knocks on the door, and the doorknob fluttered slightly.

"Who?" Lin Youde shouted, but his voice was hoarse.

"It's me. I came in. The man outside the door replied.

The voice was familiar, but it was not so familiar that Lin Youde could distinguish it immediately.

The door was quickly pushed open.

Lin Youde saw the person who came clearly, and at the same time remembered the identity of the owner of the voice.

"Officer Money." Lin Youde was a little stunned.

It's really "saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao to". He never imagined that Officer Qian would come to visit him in the middle of the night.

Lin Youde looked at Officer Qian suspiciously, supported the bed on his elbows, and sat up, a little cramped and uneasy.

Officer Qian closed the door of the ward with his backhand, and while walking to the bedside, he said, "I just came from Fang Xiaotian's side." She had another seizure at night. I don't know if it's a physical reaction or if something is wrong psychologically. Fortunately, it has calmed down by this time. The doctor did not prescribe any additional medication for her. With that, Officer Qian had already pulled up the chair next to the bed and sat down.

"Officer Qian, are you on duty today?" Lin Youde asked cautiously, a little resistant to talking to Officer Qian.

He was envious, but he didn't want to fall deeper and deeper into this matter like Officer Qian.

Song Yingying made it very clear. The underworld has a set of rules in the underworld, and these ghosts have their own team, whether it is a regular black and white impermanence or a ghost as a vigilante, they can clean up the evil ghosts. On the contrary, the living are helpless in the face of evil spirits, and they are pigs and sheep to be slaughtered. In addition to sacrificing in vain, there will be no good end at all.

Lin Youde is worried about his future life as a living person, not about wanting to mix with ghosts.

Officer Qian is the opposite.

"Nope. Lao Huang gave me a big vacation, and asked me to talk to Dr. Wang when I would rest. However, if I don't see Dr. Wang in a week, he will take me to the doctor. Officer Qian smiled, no different from his usual appearance in the team, with a somewhat relaxed and ridiculous tone, as if he didn't feel at ease about this matter at all.

Lin Youde was speechless.

"You can see them, right? Tell me what you see. Officer Qian leaned on his back and sat relaxed, "It's rare to meet someone who can be seen, although I don't see much, but it's also a chat partner, right?" By the way, you can see it since you were a child? I didn't realize you could see them before. Or is it that I have rarely seen it before, and I have not seen it in the process of handling the case? ”

Lin Youde was forced to ask, silence is obviously not a good way to deal with the old criminal police.

He sighed, also relaxed his body, and said to himself: "I haven't seen it before, I can't see it at all." According to their speculation—it wasn't what they told me, but I heard it, probably that way—I was affected on the day Lu Yu was killed, and I was able to see them. ”

Officer Qian narrowed his eyes, "Lu Yu was killed by that kind of thing?" ”

Lin Youde kept this matter in his heart for a few days, and it was also uncomfortable.

Now that the words have been spoken, Lin Youde simply told Officer Qian everything that happened in the past few days.

He finally sincerely advised: "...... Officer Qian, you see, they themselves say so, the affairs of the underworld are in charge of black and white, and it is not our turn to meddle at all. There's no way we can intervene. ”

"Has black and white impermanence ever appeared? Lu Yu died, Fang Xiaotian was attacked several times, that Song Yingying was killed for many years, and now it is Li Yun of New Life Media who is paying attention to this matter. Li Yun was the victim of a similar case. Officer Qian analyzed very rationally, "Plus the case that happened in the Jinrong Building, where Xinsheng Media is located, the deceased involved in it, and several other bizarre cases in Yaocheng recently......

The more Officer Qian spoke, the more ugly his face became.

He has been a criminal policeman for decades, and the time is just stuck in the years when social security changes. The worst years of law and order happened to be when he was young, and he had an impression, but he didn't have a deep experience. After becoming a criminal policeman, I investigated cases and learned from past cases, but I had a deeper feeling about this.

Judging from experience, Officer Qian can roughly estimate the situation in the underworld: the police force is insufficient, the law and order environment is out of control, and it is impossible to maintain security and stability.

If there is an ironclad barrier between the underworld and the yang world, then how chaotic the world after death is, it is a distant and ethereal thing for Officer Qian, but now, after death, the living turn into ghosts, kill the living, and cause a vicious case, then it will be within the scope of his duties.

Lin Youde obviously didn't think so deeply.

Although he saw the ghost more clearly, perhaps because he saw it too clearly, he couldn't tell the line between the two.

He did not have a deep understanding of the collapse of social order, at most he did not really watch the records and descriptions of others from some materials, through screens or papers. As for the understanding of the profession of the police, he only wants to find out the cases assigned to him and save the people he sees. In the longer term, there will be none.

"The demon of the Central Hospital, is it the doctor here?" Officer Qian changed the subject.

"Huh? Ah, I saw him in a white coat. However, Song Yingying said that when she was killed, she saw her mother. Perhaps, that demon can change its image. Lin Youde replied.

Isn't that how movies and movies are played?

More often it should be to become a beauty. It seems that since ancient times, ghosts have liked to become beautiful women. This kind of theme has endured, and I don't know if it's the truth or because it's more popular, and those creators are always happy to tell the story of female ghosts.

Officer Qian pondered, "It has been committing crimes in the central hospital for more than ten years, and it will definitely leave clues." The hospital was unaware of its existence and treated the patient's death as an accidental sudden death without in-depth investigation; The police were also not alerted. But there should be a record. ”

"Song Yingying's autopsy results are not suspicious." Lin Youde reminded.

"There is no suspicion in her autopsy alone, and the medical records of multiple victims can be put together to find common ground." Officer Qian said firmly, "Unless, ghosts and humans are completely different." ”

It's true that ghosts and humans are different, but who can say how much difference there is?

Officer Qian recalled several encounters with Li Yun.

When a living person dies and becomes a ghost, even if there is a change, the essence is still human.

There is no doubt about that.

From the perspective of forensics, a criminal who has been committing crimes in the same place for more than ten consecutive years means that he must have left traces, and may even have left crucial evidence of the crime.

The question is how to find the evidence and catch the murderer.

Li Yun obviously doesn't understand criminal investigation, that Song Yingying was just a student before her death, and she may not have studied this area after her death.

As for the black and white impermanence mentioned by Lin Youde, Officer Qian has no hope for them. From Lin Youde's words, he has realized that the black-and-white impermanence of handling cases is different from that of their police. They can't be considered a system person at all. The gap between yin and yang may not be as big as the gap between their two types of occupations.

Officer Qian thought so, and had already decided on the direction of the investigation.

He looked at Lin Youde, "I will investigate this case." What are you going to do? ”

Lin Youde looked at Officer Qian in a daze.

"Do you think that with a little girl, an ordinary person, and black and white impermanence who doesn't know when he will be able to come to the scene to investigate, can he catch the murderer? In the meantime, will the murderer stop and give up committing the crime? Officer Qian asked.

Lin Youde lowered his eyes and clenched his hands unconsciously.

"There are already two known victims, and one has been attacked multiple times. The murderer won't stop there. In these ten years, or more, I don't know how many victims there are...... Now that we know about it, it's impossible to let it go. Officer Qian stood up, "Think about it." I can't see them, so I need your help. But if you don't want to, I'll look into it myself. ”

Lin Youde quietly listened to Officer Qian's departing footsteps.

The door was opened and closed again.

This night, Lin Youde couldn't sleep at all.

Zero Hour News: [#二十年前灭门惨案告破#警方运用新技术破案] Twenty years ago, a family of six was killed in Wanli County, and the public security organs extracted the blood of the suspect at the scene of the crime, but due to technical reasons, the case could not be solved. For two decades, the police have not given up pursuing the case. Just this year, the police used new technology to find the prisoner Fan Mou, who had a family relationship with the criminal suspect, and with the concerted efforts of the police in many places, after more than half a year of investigation work, the criminal suspect Fan Mouyang was successfully locked up and arrested. At present, Fan Mouyang has pleaded guilty, and the case has been transferred to the procuratorate for further handling.

※※※※※

Officer Qian was put on leave, but the identity of the police was still there, and Lu Yu died suddenly in the central hospital, so he only needed to check the medical records of the central hospital over the years.

Officer Qian looked at the faces of the staff in the hospital's archives and knew that they must have reported this matter to the higher-ups. Captain Huang probably has received the news. His actions were not hindered, and Captain Huang did not call, apparently acquiescing to his actions.

Probably, Captain Huang hopes that he will find out the "truth" by himself and give up that illusion.

But facts are facts, and they do not follow man's will.

Officer Qian thought about it, familiarized himself with the hospital's electronic medical record system, and called up the medical records of the dead inpatients.

Before he came, he did some homework and asked someone to know about the death cases in the tertiary hospital in Yaocheng, and the situation in the central hospital was within the scope of his inquiry.

In a hospital, death is normal, but death for no reason is not so normal.

The number of patient deaths in the central hospital is comparable to that of other tertiary hospitals in Yaocheng, but the distribution of patients is a strange average, and it is not concentrated in trauma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumor cases like other hospitals. Based on this, it can be concluded that the departments of the central hospital are almost as bad as the others, and the mortality rate of terminal illnesses and severe and mild cases is the same in the central hospital, or that the intensive care department of the central hospital is surprisingly good, and the mortality rate in the department is reduced to the same level as that of ordinary departments.

Officer Qian asked, and the general perception of the medical industry in Yaocheng was the former. The central hospital, a tertiary hospital, has no particularly well-known departments, and has never produced a famous doctor, so it is so ordinary, and various indicators have entered the ranks of the third-class hospitals with very average data, and the patients are treated every day, and the rescue failures are ordinary.

If it had been in the past, Officer Qian would not have been surprised by such a phenomenon.

There will always be some places in this world, which are so bad that they are not good or bad, and everything is on the passing line.

But now, Officer Qian doesn't think so.

After comparing these medical records with those of Song Yingying and Lu Yu, Officer Qian gradually gained experience, and the speed of reading medical records also accelerated.

General department, inpatient, stable condition, sudden death...... It is more likely that the patient is young.

Using this line of thinking to screen, Officer Qian quickly screened out four or five possible victims. Each of them, including Song Yingying and Lu Yu, has done an analysis of death cases at the central hospital, but the conclusions reached are ambiguous.

This hospital is really weird.

Officer Qian frowned as he looked at the standardized description of his condition.

You have to talk to someone who has actually been in contact with these patients.

He jotted down a few names and continued to sift through them.

In this way, he wrote down a few pages of names in his notebook in a short period of time.

Officer Qian felt a chill in his heart.

It can't be that much...... This is only a preliminary screening. There must have been people who were really killed, and some people who just died suddenly.

Officer Qian exhaled.

He thought about it for a moment and felt that the scope was too big, and that it should be narrowed down further.

The only two confirmed victims are Song Yingying and Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's medical record is more detailed, Song Yingying's medical record is estimated to be due to age, and the electronic medical record is relatively simple.

"Excuse me, has this medical record system been replaced, or has it used to use paper medical records?" Officer Qian approached the staff in charge of the file.

"I think this system has been used since 13 or 14 years, and another system that has been used for a while before, and before that, it is handwritten medical records. Handwritten medical records are in the next room. The electronic medical records have been transferred, and the content is the same. ”

"So this medical record should be handwritten and entered into the computer?" Officer Qian took out Song Yingying's name, although the content of the medical record was not detailed enough, but the basic information was complete.

The staff had no choice but to take Officer Qian to the archive room next door.

No one has been to the archives for a long time, the dusty paper archives exude a musty smell, and the dust in the room has accumulated a thick layer.

The staff slowed down their breathing, and while their hands moved lightly, they also sped up a few points.

“…… '97, '98...... This way. I'll see what month it is...... Gynecology ......" He thought silently in his heart, and when he found the file, he rejoiced in his heart, quickly pulled out the file, hurriedly flipped through it, and found Song Yingying's copy.

"That's it." As he spoke, he felt dust enter his mouth, "Poof! Phew......"

When he calmed down, he raised his eyes and saw Officer Qian observing the entire archive room with a serious expression.

An indescribable sense of weirdness made the young staff's hearts tense.

"Comrade policeman?"

"Oh, it's fine. If you're not feeling well, wait outside. I'm looking here. Officer Qian took the medical records handed by the other party.

Glancing down, Officer Qian's pupils contracted.
