Chapter 10: Memories of the Past
Ning Qiqi covered his nose with his hands: "Ahem, it's a heavy musty smell." ”
"It's underground, it's damp, and it's normal to have a musty smell. Lu Ran covered his nose and frowned: "However, the musty smell here is a little too big, and it seems to have some stinky smell." ”
"I smell it too. Ning Qiqi shone around with a flashlight, it looked like an office, but there was nothing left, not even a piece of paper left, Lu Ran put on gloves and began to look for clues everywhere.
Fingers swept over the thick layer of dust on the edge of the table, and when he opened the drawer, there was nothing: "It looks like it's all gone, there's nothing left." ”
"Not necessarily. Ning Qiqi interrupted him at this time and pointed to the locked cabinet in the corner.
"Locked cabinet?" Lu Ran thought for a while: "Since they put everything away, why should they lock it, if the matter is revealed, won't the people who come to investigate open it to see it?" Just take it away, if you can't take it away, just burn it, why lock it." ”
"If you want to know, just open it and see it, it's better to say so much than to do it directly. ”
Picking this kind of simple lock, Lu Ran can still do it, the moment he opened the cabinet, he almost screamed, and even Ning Qiqi, who was used to seeing dead people, was shocked, and a skeleton in a white coat fell in front of the two of them at the moment of opening the door, although the white coat couldn't see its original appearance.
"It looks like he's been dead for more than 10 years, and it's not burned to death, it's probably before the fire. Lu Ran simply looked at the corpse: "There are no obvious fractures in the ribs and skull, and they were either locked in a cabinet and suffocated, or strangled to death." ”
Ning Qiqi didn't squat, and she didn't want to see whose corpse it was, because in her opinion, everyone here back then, except for her parents, were all demons, and they all deserved to die.
"Lin... Guoying?" Lu Ran searched the corpse and looked at the badge covered with a layer of dust on the white coat.
"What?" Ning Qiqi squatted down in surprise and asked, "What did you say?"
"This person, you know. He looked at Ning Qiqi's expression and said affirmatively, and the latter seemed to have fallen into some bad memory, and it was very painful to watch.
Ning Qiqi can't forget, this person is a devil, she once hid outside the laboratory door and secretly watched Lin Guoying smoke Liang Chen's blood, it was a thick needle, Liang Chen was very pitiful at that time, every time he cried, he would be beaten, he also pasted instruments on other people's bodies, once she peeked and was discovered, and was slapped hard, that time it was her mother, who heard the voice coming out of another laboratory, hugged Ning Qiqi tightly, and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, it's her fault, she's still young and ignorant, don't blame her." ”
Now that I think about it, my parents seem to be very afraid of this person, and Lin Guoying seems to have said something at that time: "If it weren't for the fact that your daughter was still useful, do you think she would be alive until now?"
At that time, Ning Qiqi didn't understand what this sentence meant, but now in retrospect, this sentence is incomprehensible.
"Miss Ning, Miss Ning, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ran woke her up who was stuck in memory, and saw that Ning Qiqi's face didn't seem to be very good, so he said, "It's almost, let's go." ”
"This..."
"I'll put this body back in its place and wait for the dust to settle before letting him be buried in the ground. Lu Ran knew that Ning Qiqi didn't want others to know about this matter, and he also had this intention, so the two of them hit it off, so it was logical to interrupt Ning Qiqi's words.
"Okay, let's go. When Lu Ran moved the body back to its original place, he stuffed something into his clothes pocket, it was just a momentary thing, such a dark place and it happened too quickly, Ning Qiqi didn't notice it at all, and her mind was not on this, she just thought about Lin Guoying's words before, why is she still useful, what is she used for?
Lu Ran also saw that she was obviously not in a state, and only thought that she had thought of something bad, so she turned on a flashlight and prepared to return the same way, and when she left the research institute, the two shook the dust off their bodies.
Lu Ran asked her at the door: "How are you thinking about cooperating with me?"
Ning Qiqi walked to the back door: "Mr. Lu, I will contact you when you find out something." After saying that, he left without looking back.
On the way to the bicycle, she kept wondering if she had forgotten something, or Liang Chen and the others were lying to herself even though they knew something, and she had to ask to understand.
Lu Ran is riding a bicycle here to prepare to go to the hospital, his father is hospitalized, and it is really not good for him not to show up for a day, although he may have slept at this time, but he still has to show his face to tell him about the situation, the prisoner committed suicide, and it was also his negligence, speaking of the prisoner, he suddenly remembered that he had tested the relationship between Ning Qiqi and him, and sighed: "Every time it is only a little worse, but there is a reason to continue to look for her." "Because the transcript will record her address, provided that she leaves behind a real address.
When he arrived at the hospital, he did not enter the ward first, but went to the telephone booth first, and used a pager to tell his subordinates to find out all the unsolved murder cases that had occurred in Beicheng in the past five years, bring them to the hospital, and wait for him at the entrance of the hospital.
This subordinate is called Shao Xianfu, the name is quite honest, but he is a very shrewd and capable young man, he worked with Lu Ran at the beginning, and even the ICPO was with him, because the work has not been officially transferred back, so he still lives in the hotel, and when he sees his pager leader giving another order, he sighed deeply: "I can't stop in the middle of the night, and I have work to do." ”
