September 20th, 4224 of the Cangli calendar, Friday, lunch break.
Peng Yuanyuan is dead!
Li Nan was truly stunned when he heard the news!
Ignoring the stir-fried beef I hadn't yet swallowed,
I visited her at the mental hospital this Monday at noon. Although her mental state was indeed listless due to the medication she was taking.
But how could he possibly die?
The message came from Ma Jie. Li Nan asked, "Xiao Ma, what exactly happened? How could Peng Yuanyuan be dead?"
"Sir, this is an emergency call from a nurse at the mental hospital. A terrible incident just happened at the hospital. During the lunch break, Peng Yuanyuan got into an argument with a male patient. Who knew that this male patient would go so far as to beat Peng Yuanyuan to death with a tree branch that was broken off in the exercise area!"
"When the on-duty nurse arrived, Peng Yuanyuan had already lost vital signs. This male patient was too vicious!"
"Where are the body and the male patient now?"
"The body is still at the scene, under the control of the security guards on duty at the entrance. The body is still there, and the hospital has secured the scene!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off immediately!"
...
It was another hour's drive, and by the time Li Nan and the others arrived at the mental hospital, it was already past 1 p.m.
Four days later, when Li Nan returned to the backyard, she truly understood what it meant for time to pass and things to change.
Gently pulling back the covering over Peng Yuanyuan, her tragic face was frozen in the last moment of her life.
Unbelievable, yes, it's unbelievable!
On his aged face were two deep, dark scars, the result of an attack.
The depth of the wound on the cheek revealed the perpetrator's intense murderous intent.
The murder weapon was a tree branch about half the thickness of an arm. No one could have imagined that such an ordinary tree branch could become a deadly weapon.
Beneath Peng Yuanyuan's body was a thick layer of blood emitting a strong, fishy smell. Judging from the amount of blood alone, one could deduce the massive number of wounds on Peng Yuanyuan's body.
Can a tree branch really be this terrifying?
The perpetrator has been apprehended and is currently being held in a hospital room.
After being injected with double the dose of a special sedative, the killer became lethargic and drowsy.
Following the directions, Li Nan saw the murderer and exclaimed in surprise again: "How could it be him!"
The murderer was none other than Gao Siming's junior apprentice, Liu Xiangdong, the former president of the Honghu Society!
...
Because Liu Xiangdong was on the verge of unconsciousness and could not be interrogated on the spot, he was bound hand and foot and escorted back to Anding Division.
Peng Yuanyuan's body was also transported back to the Anding Division laboratory after the on-site investigation was completed.
Qin Wen, who was originally preparing to go home for vacation, insisted on personally performing the autopsy after hearing about this incident.
Li Nan knew her little scheme and didn't stop her.
During the autopsy, Liu Xiangdong, who had been given a sedative, slowly woke up.
Only then did he realize that he had appeared in the long-lost interrogation room of the An Ding Division.
Thanks to the relief medication, Liu Xiangdong's mind cleared up briefly, but he felt as if he was missing an important piece of memory.
How did I end up here again?
Liu Xiangdong's lucid moments didn't last long. As Li Nan and Yang Bairong entered the interrogation room, his mind began to fog up again.
Facing the policeman sitting upright across from him, Liu Xiangdong used the last bit of his sanity to ask the question that had been on his mind.
"Officer, how did I get here?"
"do not you remember?"
"I don't know, I think I dreamt about Li Yan!" Liu Xiangdong's originally clear eyes instantly turned ferocious as he roared at the two police officers, "And then, I killed her again!"
"One, two, one, two..."
Yes, Liu Xiangdong, who briefly regained his senses, went into a frenzy again.
Li Nan and Yang Bairong exchanged a glance, smiled wryly, and recalled Liu Xiangdong's previous personality assessment report.
Liu Xiangdong suffers from intermittent neurosis, and during episodes, he exhibits an impulsive and irritable personality.
Today's review is actually not very meaningful; it's just a formality.
The exercise yard of the mental hospital is equipped with high-definition surveillance cameras on all four sides. At the time of the incident, the two people's every move was recorded clearly!
Liu Xiangdong is the murderer, without a doubt!
The motive for the murder is irrelevant; there's no need for interrogation. Liu Xiangdong is mentally ill, mentally ill!
A statement made by someone with mental illness has no legal validity!
What Li Nan and the others didn't understand was that, according to the hospital, the special sedative was effective for 18-24 hours, while their injection intervals were all within 12 hours.
If taken at least twice a day, the medication will not only retain its effectiveness but will also have a cumulative and enhanced effect.
But why would a patient who has already been given a sedative suddenly become violent and kill someone?
Li Nan had already watched the surveillance video once at the hospital, and then watched it again with Yang Bairong and the others back at Andingsi.
The video is short, but the crime took up 90% of the time!
During the midday exercise period, male and female patients rest and sunbathe in the exercise square as usual.
This practice has continued since the establishment of the special department and has never resulted in any accidents.
As a result, the square, which should have been guarded by four nurses, had two nurses in the restroom at the time of the incident, while the other two hid outside the surveillance cameras, their activities unknown.
There was nothing wrong with Liu Xiangdong's initial meeting with Peng Yuanyuan.
Like two wandering zombies, they were aimlessly strolling around the square.
As the two passed each other, Liu Xiangdong seemed to ask Peng Yuanyuan a question, and Peng Yuanyuan nodded subconsciously.
