Shi Yu pushed open the door to the emergency passage on the first floor and quickly left the inpatient department.
The smell of medicine in the inpatient building was so strong that no matter how much disinfectant was sprayed, it could not be completely covered.
But fortunately there is disinfectant to cover it up.
Shi Yu did not go to the bathroom, but took a taxi directly back to Lanwan Community. When she stood at the door of the apartment, before she opened the door, she heard the sound coming from the house.
The light scans the fingerprint and the door lock opens automatically.
He pushed open the door, and the first thing he saw was a pile of plastic bags in the entrance.
Wen Hesi cut open the rice bag and poured all the rice grains into the metal storage bucket. He walked out of the kitchen carrying the garbage bag and asked, "Aren't you working at twelve o'clock this month? Why aren't you sleeping at this time?"
Shi Yu changed his shoes: "I went to the hospital."
Wen Hesi picked up a bag of green vegetables and asked, "See a doctor?"
Shi Yu: "Visiting the patient."
Wen Hesi looked shocked: "Who is so proud?"
Shi Yu thought for a while: "Maybe he is my victim."
Victim?
As opposed to the victim, isn't he the suspected murderer?
If the word victim can be used, doesn’t that mean the matter is serious enough for the police to intervene?
He didn't contact the other party for a week. What happened?
Wen Hesi stopped thinking in time. His professional sense told him that if he continued to ask questions at this time, he would probably cause himself unnecessary trouble. He decided to act like a fool who knew nothing. "The corrupt official in my law firm has been arrested. I heard from the police that the person who reported the case is named Bai. Do you know him?"
Shi Yu was silent for two seconds after hearing the last name: "I don't know him."
"They at least transferred five digits to your phone number." Wen Hesi picked up the last bag of fast food. "These days, there are many fools and rich people, but it's rare to find both fools and rich people. You haven't considered it for so many years?"
Shi Yu listened and said in a calm voice: "Your biological age is seven years older than mine."
"Um?"
"Still single."
“…”
After spending several hours in the air of the inpatient building filled with the smell of sublimating drugs, Shi Yu suppressed her discomfort all the way back to her room. After taking a shower, she didn't even blow-dry her hair. She just curled herself up with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was almost eleven o'clock at night.
Shi Yu left the room and planned to go directly to the guard duty room. However, as soon as he reached the entrance, he saw the note written on A4 paper stuck on the door.
"Thanks to Nanzhi, you don't have to order takeout today. Remember to go to the kitchen and eat before you go out. Also, no matter when you wake up, remember to heat it up before you eat!!!"
It was followed by three huge exclamation marks, and the color of the water-based pen showed through to the back.
Shi Yu raised his hand to peel off the paper, turned it over, and found that there were more words on the other side.
"Nanzhi's school is too far from home. She will be taking the college entrance exam these three days. I plan to cook for her and borrow your kitchen. The three meals I provide will serve as your rental fee."
Shi Yu put down the paper and went to the kitchen.
Although the note specifically said to heat it up, in fact he didn't need to do it at all, because the food was already in the rice cooker. The quality-assured home appliance has a strong heat preservation function, and the hot white steam rises and spreads with the lid.
After dinner, Shi Yu threw the dishes and detergent into the dishwasher, pressed the switch, picked up his coat, and went out, arriving at the duty room on time.
Zhong Shou, who was in the round before him, was not there. There was only a security guard sitting there.
The security guard was a member of the team that the foreman temporarily arranged for Lao Zhang to work with after he was hospitalized. When he saw him coming, he greeted him a little uncomfortably.
Shi Yu responded to show that he heard it and closed the door.
The two computers were placed on two desks, with the desks leaning against the windows on the wall.
The new security guard was not a sociable person. He didn't dare to start a conversation or look at him. He was watching the surveillance footage while occasionally scrolling through his phone.
Shi Yu sat down on the empty chair, exited the computer monitoring interface, and began to look through the historical records.
The community’s surveillance will only be retained for two months before being automatically overwritten.
The computer in this duty room only displays the surveillance of the northern area of Lanwan Community, with seven surveillance cameras. Fortunately, this is one of the gates of Lanwan Community, and right across from the shopping mall, it is the preferred entrance for most residents to enter and exit the community.
Shi Yu looked at it for a moment, took out his phone, found an account on a social software, and sent a message. Then he used the mouse to arrange the seven windows of the computer display neatly on the screen, and dragged the progress bar to the time when the message about Ms. Jiang just appeared in the group this morning.
The phone vibrated on the table and the screen lit up, indicating that a new message had been received.
When Shi Yu opened the message box, the first thing that caught her eye was a row of exclamation marks.
He has added very few accounts to the mobile app, and the notes they gave are very intuitive: brother, foreman, lawyer, errand runner, and the account he just sent a message to is the one with the note "errand runner".
Runner: "Boss, I found the photos of those three people for you."
Run errands: "Chen Wangyi picture jpg."
Errands: "Xu Qingcha picture jpg."
Run errands: "Ginger feather fan picture jpg."
Runner: "They are all our customers. It's no big deal if I tell them they want photos. But why do you suddenly want their photos?"
Runner: "I dare to remind you that they are all elders in their forties or fifties. If you were born with luck more than twenty years ago, they might have become your parents! Even if you decide to leave our singles organization, you should at least seriously consider the next family you take over!"
“…”
Shi Yu replied "thank you", ignored the other party's series of questions, turned her phone to silent mode, and clicked on the photo.
In a sense, what Paotui said was right. Those people involved in the case... or the residents of the entire Lanwan community could be considered his clients, and the commodities traded were their houses.
If you must call him something, he could probably be considered their landlord.
But even if he had this relationship, he wouldn't be so bored as to write down the personal information of every resident living in Lanwan Community. The only use of it might be to ask for someone's photo when he doesn't know what they look like.
Shi Yu took a few glances, roughly memorized the appearance of the three people in the photo, raised his eyes and pressed the play button of the surveillance recording.
The seven screens were arranged like six windows on the computer desktop. The time scale of the progress bar on the screen changed and then began to play in reverse.
Time passes by every second.
Shi Yu looked at the screen and clicked fast forward, then fast forward again.
Adjusting the speed to the highest 32 times, he released the mouse, slightly lowered his eyelashes, and looked quietly at the six windows on the screen. He held a pen between the knuckles of his hand hanging at his side, and seemed to be unconsciously rotating the pen, one circle, one circle, and another.
The image on the screen flickered like a reflection tape until a certain point in time, when his hand holding the pen pressed three keys on the keyboard.
With a slight beep, the system automatically takes a screenshot.
The picture continues to flow backwards.
Take another screenshot.
Backflow.
screenshot.
…
Only a dim wall lamp was on in the duty room at night, and the light from the computer screen fell quietly on his face, outlining the curve of his eyelashes and the overly pale hands on the black keyboard.
More than three hours passed, and the time set in advance finally came to an end. The surveillance screen flashed and stopped at the beginning scene again.
Shi Yu exited the past surveillance records, packaged up the dozens of pictures he had captured before and sent them to his mobile phone, then switched the screen back to the real-time shooting scene.
The security guard sitting behind him was still watching the surveillance camera and browsing his phone intermittently.
Shi Yu opened the photo album on his phone, then took out a piece of draft paper and took off the pen cap.
The person in the first photo is Ms. Jiang, and she appears at the gate of the community.
The second photo still shows Ms. Jiang, appearing in the rain-viewing corridor of the community.
The third photo shows Ms. Jiang appearing in front of the community square.
…
The seventeenth photo shows Grandma Xu appearing at the gate of the community.
The eighteenth photo shows Grandma Xu appearing in Jinshui Bay.
…
The 22nd photo of Lao Zhang appears at the gate of the community.
The twenty-third photo of Lao Zhang appeared on the tree-lined path.
…
The 25th photo shows Grandma Xu, appearing on the tree stump bench.
…
The 40th photo of Boss Chen appeared at the gate of the community.
Chapter 41, Boss Chen, appeared in the underground garage.
…
Shi Yu flipped through the photos while writing on a piece of scratch paper. He marked the gate first, then circled the square, drew a curve to form the bay of the corridor, and used shadows to outline the shade of trees and the garage entrance, thus drawing out the area covered by the six surveillance cameras on the paper.
The draft paper was circled and crossed out, and he cancelled several line segments, roughly drawing out the walking routes of the four people in the area in front of the community in the past few days.
Shi Yu looked at the dots that intersected the four routes. He was silent for a moment, and was about to start writing again when a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.
He reflexively turned sideways, grabbed the hand, and twisted it in the opposite direction.
“Oh shit it hurts it hurts it hurts!!”
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment and let go of his hand.
The guard in his group hugged his arms and almost burst into tears: "Are you murdering me?!"
Shi Yu: “I’m sorry.”
The guard wanted to say something, but after hearing his apology, he couldn't say anything for a long time. He could only say: "I'm going to the convenience store outside the community. Do you want me to bring you anything?"
Shi Yu: “Thank you, no thanks.”
From midnight to eight in the morning, sitting for a full eight hours without being allowed to move, eat or drink is really embarrassing, so the foreman does not force everyone to stay at their posts during working hours, as long as there is someone staying in front of the monitoring in the duty room at all times.
Now more than four hours have passed, and the guard has not seen the other person move. Whenever he looks over, the other person is sitting on the chair.
Isn't it boring?
The security guard grumbled in his heart, but didn't dare to ask, and just left.
Fifteen minutes later, the security guard came with a steamboat pot in his hand, unwrapping the plastic wrapping while running to the water dispenser in the corner.
The water dispenser had just boiled hot water, and the water droplets that splashed out were scalding hot.
The security guard poured hot water and started tearing the seasoning packet, but after trying for a long time he failed to open the gap. Finally he simply stretched his neck and opened his mouth to bite it with his teeth.
Then he caught a glimpse of the person sitting at another desk looking at him.
It's okay to bite the packaging bag by yourself, and it won't be embarrassing if you are surrounded by familiar parents and relatives. But if you happen to be seen by strangers, the feeling at that moment will probably be similar to when you were in elementary school, directing and acting in an epic drama of SpongeBob and Voldemort fighting for 300 rounds in your room, and then when you turned around, you found that your parents were behind you watching the whole process of your acting.
The guard stared at the other person for two seconds, took the seasoning packet out of his mouth, and uttered after a long while: "Do you want to eat it?"
"No, thank you."
Shi Yu retracted his gaze and looked back at the draft paper in front of him.
The most obvious intersection of the four people's routes was the gate of the community. Lao Zhang could even be said to have witnessed the whole process of leaving the house, but he was found lying in the grass a few hours later.
But just now, a security guard also left the community and came back safely.
Because passing through a certain place is not a condition for an accident? Or is it not the only condition?
This makes sense, after all, there are so many residents coming in and out of the gate every day. If something happens to everyone who passes by, the community would be in chaos if such a large-scale incident happened.
But if we follow this line of thinking, there is no guarantee that they are the only four people walking through any place.
Since these four people were infected, they must have something in common. In addition to having been to the same place before, the most likely possibility is that they have all come into contact with someone before.
Considering that the people involved in the accident were all residents of Lanwan Community, the area outside the community is not considered for the time being. But even if we only look at the interior of the community, there are hundreds or thousands of mobile people alone. It is too unrealistic to use surveillance to find an intersection person who may not even exist.
But thinking about how the police had suddenly taken him to the Municipal Bureau as a suspect, Shi Yu felt that he might have been screened out in this way.
Shi Yu held the pen and thought for a while, then picked up the phone again, opened the errand dialog box, and sent a message.
The errand boy replied as if he was always in front of the screen: "Okay, boss."
Then he said, "Boss, do you need me to recommend a channel to you?"
Shi Yu typed a question mark in the past.
The errand boy thought to himself that you wanted both personal photos and rental information. Who else would be so bored except for checking the household registration when dating? He quickly typed: "Dating website."
There was silence for a full half minute.
The errand runner drank half a glass of ice water in one breath. After calming down, he finally realized what he had boldly asked. He was wondering whether to withdraw the question, and then he saw the phone screen flashing.
Boss: "How many times have I asked you to do something since last October?"
The errand boy recalled blankly for a while, then asked carefully: "It seems like this is the first time since you moved to Tianshui Lanwan?"
Another half minute passed.
Boss: "Is it because I have been too idle for the past six months?"
Runner: “……!”
