After getting useful clues, Luo Fei hurriedly thanked him and led everyone out of the police station.

"Team leader, you said that this Zhou Guohua's family went to other places immediately after the child's death, is it possible that it was because of a weak heart and felt ashamed of his younger brother's family?"

Zhang Wei guessed.

"It's a possibility." Luo Fei nodded solemnly, pulled the car door and sat down.

Everyone got into the car, and He Xin, who was in charge of driving, asked, "Team leader, where are we going next?" ”

"Let's go to Zhou Guo'an's house first to find out the situation."

When I arrived at Zhou Guoan's house, it was about nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Zhou Guoan had already turned off the lights and rested, but he never fell asleep.

Hearing movement outside, he hurriedly got up and opened the door.

Seeing Luo Fei and a few people outside the door, he was a little surprised, "Comrade policeman, you have something to do with me so late?" ”

"Uncle Zhou, I want to know about the situation with you, is the relationship between you and your eldest brother Zhou Guohua's family good?"

In order to save time, Luo Fei asked bluntly.

Zhou Guoan was obviously stunned by this question for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Very good, we are brothers, so the relationship must be good." ”

"Did they come to help find Carey after he disappeared that week, or did they visit your house?"

"No, his grandson was also sick at that time, and the child had a heart attack since he was a child and had to be operated on in the city hospital, so the family was taking care of them in the hospital."

"I didn't have time to come back, and I didn't want them to worry, so I didn't tell them about it...... It wasn't until they came back from the hospital that they found out about it. ”

"Then after they found out, did they come to your house to visit you?"

"After the nephew and nephew found out about Rarity's situation, they brought a lot of things to visit that night and persuaded us a lot ......"

"What about your eldest brother? Did they come? ”

"No, Yucheng's illness needs to be recuperated, and they can't pull away."

Zhou Yucheng is really Zhou Guohua's grandson who died of a heart attack.

In fact, hearing this, Luo Fei was already sure that Zhou Guohua was running away from his own brother with a weak heart.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, two close brothers will definitely rush to visit each other as soon as they hear that something is happening at each other's home.

And the distance between the two families is not far, and it is only a matter of one or twenty minutes at most, even if you have to take care of your grandson, you can spare this time.

"Uncle Zhou, what about after that, have you ever met Zhou Guohua, that is, your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

"No...... During that time, my wife and I were very sad, we stayed at home all day, and they also had to take care of the children, so we didn't have time to see each other. ”

"Until the morning of September 3rd, I heard Daming say that it seemed that Yucheng's child suddenly fell ill the night before and was sent to the city for rescue."

"I was going to go and see, but when I walked to the town, I received a call from Daming, saying that my wife was drinking pesticides...... Originally, after the child's accident, I found out that something was wrong with her, and I kept talking all day about going down to accompany the child. ”

"During that time, I watched her every day, just because I was afraid that she would do something stupid. I thought about it for so long that day, she should have thought about it, who knows, it's all my fault......"

Zhou Guoan said, and suddenly began to hammer his head with remorse.

"You can't be blamed for this, people can't be resurrected after death, Uncle Zhou, don't blame yourself."

Luo Fei hurriedly stopped his movements and said a few words of reassurance.

When Zhou Guoan gradually calmed down, he continued to ask about the aftermath.

"Later, I rushed back and sent my mother to the county hospital with Daming, but after rescuing me for a long time, I still didn't get back, and I was in no mood to take care of anything else."

"After we finished handling my wife's funeral, I heard that Zhou Yucheng also went on the night of my wife's death because the rescue was ineffective."

"When I heard the news, I wanted to go to my eldest brother's house to see them, but I found that none of them were at home, and when I called, I realized that they were too sad, so I simply followed my nephew and nephew to work in other places, and went to relax by the way."

"After that, they only came back once a year for the Chinese New Year, and every time they went to the grave, burned the pillar incense and left, and I didn't meet it."

"So that means that since Zhou Kairui's accident, you haven't met your eldest brother again?"

"Well, that's right."

"Do you usually call each other?"

"At the beginning, I called them a few times, but my eldest brother rarely answered, and sometimes he hung up without saying a word, my nephew said that it was because Yucheng hit him too hard, and I rarely beat him again after that."

"I only occasionally call my nephew and ask how they're doing."

"Was there any difference in your nephew's attitude towards you before and after the incident?"

"Comrade policeman, what are you asking all this for? How can you suspect that Rarity's death was related to my nephew......

"Uncle Zhou, calm down first, we don't suspect him. This is just a normal investigation process, and everyone who has dealings with your family needs to be carefully investigated according to their relatives. ”

Without absolute evidence, Luo Fei would definitely not express his suspicions.

And even if he said it, Zhou Guoan would definitely not believe it.

After all, who would have thought that a brother who is connected in the same vein would do such a cruel and vicious thing to his grandson.

Zhou Guoan didn't have much culture, and he was quickly perfunctory by his words.

"My nephew treats me the same as before, nothing has changed. And during the Chinese New Year last year, he also came to see me, and before leaving, he had to give me 20,000 yuan to buy some supplements to replenish my body. ”

"I don't want it, he dropped the money and ran away, and then I asked Daming to use his mobile phone to transfer it back to him, and he didn't accept it...... Even if my nephew is in our village, he is the only one. ”

Zhou Guoan said with a bit of pride.

"We all know the good situation, Uncle Zhou, you should rest early, let's go first."

Luo Fei said that, rejected Zhou Guoan's retention, and turned around and left Zhou's house.

As soon as they got in the car, Zhang Wei and the others immediately deduced it.

"There's a problem, this Zhou Guohua looks like he has a ghost in his heart!"

"That's right, there is such a big thing in my brother's family, why do I have to come to visit, his behavior is too abnormal."

"What rural people value most is blood kinship, and they have problems in their family!"

"And the 20,000 yuan that Zhou Guoan said just now, I think it is more like compensation in a sense than the younger generation to respect the elders, so as to ask for peace of mind."

……

The three of them discussed passionately for a long time, only to find that Luo Fei had not spoken.

Instead, he kept frowning, as if he was agonizing over something.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Team leader, why don't you speak, do you think what we guessed is wrong?" ”

"No, I think your speculation makes sense."

"Then how do you ......?"

"I'm thinking about a question, if the murderer is really Zhou Guohua's family, then how did they take Zhou Kairui away at that time, and where did they kill people."

Luo Fei said and sighed, "Three years have passed since this case, and I'm afraid all the evidence at that time is long gone, so how are we going to convict?" ”

The excitement on the faces of several people instantly faded a lot.

With the current judicial system, the main way to judge whether a person is guilty or not is to see whether the relevant factual evidence is sufficient and clear, and the testimony of a suspect accounts for only a small part.

In other words, even if they find Zhou Guohua's family and ask them to admit their murder, if there is no relevant evidence to support their murder, they cannot be convicted.

After a short silence, Luo Fei's mobile phone rang, and it was Liao Xingyu calling.

"Luo Fei, did you find any clues over there?"

"We went to the police station in town...... And according to Zhou Guoan, Zhou Guohua never saw him again after the accident, but Zhou Guohua's son Zhou Dahu was very generous to him, and he gave him 20,000 yuan a year ago. ”

After listening to what they learned, Liao Xingyu, who had been handling the case for many years, also smelled something wrong.

But he made up his mind directly, and asked instead, "Luo Fei, what do you think?" ”

"We all agree that there is something wrong with the family, but now the point is that if we can't find evidence, even if we are sure that they have a problem, it is useless."

“…… This is indeed a problem. We've just come out of the county hospital, so we'll rush back to the city and go to the city hospital to find out what's going on. ”

"I want to go too, so you can stop in the county for a while, and we'll go back together."

"Okay."

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the cardiac surgery nurse station of the city hospital.

"Hello comrades, who is the person in charge of your department? We are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, and we want to find out more about the situation from your person in charge. ”

Luo Fei showed his ID and said to a young nurse.

"The head of our department is Director Wang Honggang, but he is off work now."

"And who are you who can be in charge here now?"

"It's our head nurse, but she's now in the next ward with Dr. Lin to rescue patients, so I might have to ask you to wait......

"Yes, you can."

"Then you go and sit down for a while, and I'll call you when she comes out."

After thanking the little nurse, Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu sat down on the bench in the corridor.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, several medical staff finally came out of a certain ward at the end of the corridor.

Seeing this, the little nurse walked up as soon as possible.

"Doctor Lin, Sister Wang, is the 23-bed patient okay?"

"Well, it's out of danger for the time being, but you still have to pay more attention, you remember to go and see it every half an hour."

"Got it, by the way, Sister Wang, there are two public security comrades looking for you......"

The nurse named Sister Wang followed her fingers and also saw Luo Fei and the others on the side.

"Okay, I see, you guys go get busy."

Wang Yan said, walking towards Luo Fei and them.

"Hello comrade police, I am Wang Yan, the head nurse of the cardiac surgery, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Hello Nurse Wang, can I delay you for a few minutes to find a place to talk? We want to know a little bit from you. ”

"Oh, okay, you guys come with me."

Wang Yan took him and Liao Xingyu to the doctor's office on the side.

"Two comrades, you ask."

"That's right, Head Nurse Wang, do you remember that you received a four-year-old child named Zhou Yucheng three years ago?"

"He must have had surgery on your side in May three years ago, and then passed away in September due to his worsening condition...... This is a photo of the child's parents, you see if there is any impression. ”

Luo Fei didn't find a photo of Zhou Yucheng, so he could only hand the photo of Zhou Taifu's family copied by the police station to her.

"I seem to have a little impression of this couple......"

Wang Yan stared at the two photos repeatedly and thoughtfully, but she didn't dare to make a conclusion, and finally she suddenly shouted out the door, "Xiaofang, can you take a look?" ”

Soon a nurse ran in, "Sister Wang, you called me?" ”

"Xiaofang, help me see, are these two the same couple who ignored the preoperative warning, fed the child indiscriminately, and almost caused a medical accident? At that time, our entire hospital still held a special meeting to discuss it? ”

Xiao Fang looked at the photo she handed over, and quickly nodded, "That's right, it's them!" ”

"That's right." Wang Yan returned the mobile phone to Luo Fei, "Comrade policeman, I do have some impressions of a sick child, but he did not operate in our hospital. ”

"No?" Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu looked surprised.

"But what we learned is that he used to have surgery in your hospital."

"He was almost going to have surgery in our hospital, but then something happened, so it didn't happen."

"What's going on, Nurse Wang, tell me quickly."

"Yes, this child is a typical congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension."

"Now that medicine is so advanced, this disease is not completely incurable, and there is still a lot of hope for recovery through surgery. At the beginning, our doctor also advised them to have surgery sooner. ”

But the family was afraid of the risk of surgery, so they kept delaying it, but insisted on getting some home remedies for the child...... When the child was four years old, he had a very serious illness. ”

"When I was sent to the hospital, the situation was already very dangerous, but fortunately, Director Wang and they had rich experience and rescued the child. In order to prevent this from happening again, Director Wang and several other attending doctors advised them to operate on the child as soon as possible. ”

"But the family didn't make a decision for a long time, and then finally got through the ideological work of the child's mother, and agreed to operate on the child, but the child's father didn't know where to go that afternoon."

"In the end, the child's mother can only sign the consent form for the operation, and the operation will be performed the next day, and the child's father will come back in the middle of the night, the key is not the most annoying."

"Originally, our colleagues had specially explained to their families that they had to fast food and water for 12 hours before the operation, but before the operation, the couple secretly fed the child and didn't tell us."

"If it weren't for Xiaofang and their rounds the next morning, they found the thermos bucket on the table and asked more, otherwise they wouldn't know what was going to happen."

At this time, Xiaofang hadn't gone out yet, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head on the side, "I was a little angry at the time, because this is going to kill someone." ”

So I criticized them a few times, but it turned out that they were worse than me, and yelled at us in the ward...... Sometimes it's really speechless to encounter such unreasonable family members. ”
