Chapter 436: Your Death Will Not Be in Vain (17 Days a Day)
If it is the second case, then it is likely that the two people abused their positions to seek personal gain.
This is not within the scope of the investigation of the Hongda case, nor is it the responsibility of the police. When the time comes, we just need to provide the relevant clues to the Discipline Inspection Commission.
But if it is the first case, it means that Liu Baoguo deliberately knew the truth but did not report it and concealed the information.
I'm afraid we can't just let Liu Baoguo go like this, but judging from Director Xie's attitude just now, it seems unlikely for the time being.
Then Chen Gengyun's alibi was obviously much more ambiguous than Liu Baoguo's.
On the evening of the 28th, he said that he missed his wife and daughter, so he took the bus to Xishan Cemetery, and then met Fan Tianyou there. After chatting for a while, the two parted at the gate of the cemetery.
Here he briefly mentioned the relationship between the two, as well as the original situation of his wife and daughter.
He said Fan Tianyou and Chen Lin are the same age, one grade apart, and have different majors.
After the two of them started dating freely on campus, Chen Lin often brought Fan Tianyou home for dinner. Seeing that the boy was honest and kind, and studied very hard and motivated, she tacitly approved of their relationship.
In the winter of his daughter's junior year in college, he went out of town for an academic seminar. As a result, his wife and daughter burned a coal stove to keep warm at home because of the cold weather. Due to improper use, they both died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
He was in so much pain that he wanted to die, and he was depressed for a long time before he recovered.
Then I moved into the staff dormitory provided by the school and have lived there until now.
He said that after Fan Tianyou graduated from college, he went abroad to study, and they kept in touch during that time and occasionally exchanged letters.
Every year on his daughter's death anniversary, he would burn paper for his daughter on behalf of Fan Tianyou who was far away on the other side of the ocean.
In 1994, Fan Tianyou returned to Hongcheng with a doctorate degree and found him, hoping to work at Hongda.
He was very happy about this. If his daughter had not had an accident, they would have been a family long ago.
What's more, Fan Tianyou is a high-end talent, so he was immediately recommended to the school.
The two of them didn't interact very often afterwards because they had different professional fields and didn't have much overlap in their work.
Fan Tianyou would visit him during the holidays, and would also visit his grave on Qingming Festival and his daughter's death anniversary every year.
So this time when Fan Tianyou said that he dreamt that Chen Lin appeared in his dream, Chen Gengyun felt a little guilty as he hadn't visited his wife and daughter for a long time.
This passage can be said to be a mutual alibi between Fan Tianyou and Chen Gengyun. As long as it can be proved that one of them lied, the fact that the other had committed perjury would be established.
Moreover, for Zhou Yi, tomb sweeping, the alibi that spans two lives, has actually changed, namely receipts and candles and paper money.
The existence of this receipt in the previous life indicates that someone did go to Xishan Cemetery to burn paper and sweep the graves on the night of the 3rd. If Fan Tianyou is the murderer, then the person who went to burn paper must be Chen Gengyun.
But the death anniversary of Chen Lin and her mother was in winter, and May 3rd was not Qingming Festival. There must be a reason why Chen Gengyun suddenly went to burn paper.
However, this reason may not be confirmed in this life because the time of the crime has changed.
There was no receipt in this life, and no paper money or candles were bought, which means that Chen Gengyun may not have been to Xishan Cemetery at all.
Since he didn't go there, he must have been somewhere else at that time. If we can prove that he was not in Xishan Cemetery at that time, we can break the defense line.
As for why he used tomb sweeping as perjury, it was because Chen Lin was the only reasonable connection between Fan Tianyou and Chen Gengyun. Otherwise, using other excuses would be too coincidental and easily arouse suspicion.
And there is another point that can only be seen from Zhou Yi's perspective, that is, human thinking has inertia. Although the time of the crime is different, the idea of perjury will be the same when encountering the same situation.
This shows that there is really no more suitable reason between these two people.
In addition, Chen Gengyun's alibi on the 28th also contained two pieces of information.
First, the cause and time of Chen Lin’s death.
It was the winter of my junior year, which should have been the end of 1986 or the beginning of 1987.
Zhou Yi had been trying to find the connection between Fan Tianyou and Dong Lu's burns.
When the character Chen Lin appeared, he even wondered whether Chen Lin happened to be a classmate of Dong Lu, or even another person in dormitory 404.
For some reasons, such as her boyfriend Fan Tianyou falling in love with someone else, or other reasons, Chen Lin deliberately took revenge on Dong Lu and set fire to her in the middle of the night in an attempt to burn her to death.
After all, the information about the other person in Room 404 has not appeared.
Moreover, if Chen Lin was the murderer, it would be reasonable for Chen Gengyun to collude with Liu Baoguo to cover up the truth in order to protect his daughter.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Dong Lu was burned in November 1989.
Chen Lin had died two or three years ago, so there was no way he could be related to Dong Lu.
As for Chen Lin's death, it can only be said that it was not uncommon in that era. The conditions were backward at that time, and there were many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by improper burning of coal stoves.
Another piece of information is that Chen Gengyun has an old house.
He said that after his wife and daughter died, he moved to the school’s staff dormitory and has lived there ever since.
In other words, this house has been empty all this time, and it might be the first crime scene they have been looking for.
This house must be inspected!
Chen Gengyun's alibi on the 29th is very interesting.
Zhou Yi took a look and found that, as he expected, he had been in school all day and had not gone anywhere else.
But like Fan Tianyou, there is always an hour or two when he either stays in his office doing research or feels unwell and goes back to the dormitory to take a nap.
At eight o'clock in the evening on the 29th, he called his graduate student and asked him to send some materials to his office, saying that he wanted to do some research.
At half past nine, I called the student on the office phone to remind him that there were several problems in the materials that needed to be revised.
This time period coincides with Mo Youyou's witness.
After reading it, Zhou Yi immediately picked up the pen next to him and made a few dots on the blank paper, quickly drawing an axis.
There are several time nodes on the upper and lower sides of the axis, with the word "Fan" written on the top and the word "Chen" written on the bottom, and several hooks are drawn alternately.
Zhou Yi pointed at the axis and said, "Look, leaders, on the 29th, Fan Tianyou and Chen Gengyun's alibis showed that their appearances in public coincided."
"For example, here, while Fan Tianyou was teaching, Chen Gengyun was doing research in his office, so there were no witnesses. And here, while Chen Gengyun was having dinner with two graduate students and providing academic guidance, Fan Tianyou happened to be eating hotpot alone nearby, so there were no witnesses."
"If you add up all the free time between the two of them, it's almost nine hours," Zhou Yi said, putting down his pen. "That's more than enough time to complete the dismemberment and cooking of the corpse."
When Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng mentioned the possibility of the two of them taking turns working, it was just speculation.
Now, combined with the confessions of the two people, it is equivalent to solid evidence.
The remaining question is the evidence.
There is definitely no physical evidence, and the two of them would definitely avoid the main entrance where there is surveillance.
So we have to find other witnesses like Mo Youyou.
Hongda is so big and there are so many people, it is impossible for them to hide from everyone's eyes.
But how do you find it? A face without any memorable features is hard to be noticed.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi had an idea.
The hat, that hat is their disguise!
Likewise, that hat will become their defining feature!
Zhou Yi quickly told the two of them about this idea. Although Mo Youyou couldn't be sure of the color of the hat because it was too dark, Jiang Biao had previously found out about an old man selling oil.
At that time, the old man was wearing a gray baseball cap with a row of black English letters printed on it.
Zhou Yi said, "Using this hat as a clue, and based on the two people's locations at different times, we can sort out the routes to the east gate and the side gate. Then we can conduct investigations. If we can find one or two more witnesses, we can corroborate Mo Youyou's testimony and form a valid chain of evidence."
Upon hearing this, Liang Wei immediately called Xiang Jie and asked him to transfer all the police forces that were originally engaged in large-scale investigation and data collation to do this.
The suspicious target has been identified. If effective evidence can be found, why conduct a large-scale investigation? It is time-consuming and laborious.
Finally, there is Chen Gengyun’s alibi on the 30th.
On the morning of the 30th, he presided over a meeting of the School of Social Sciences, which lasted until noon. At noon, he had lunch with several key members of the school in the faculty cafeteria. He left at around 1:00 a.m., using his meal card.
As he had a leadership meeting at school in the afternoon, he felt a little tired, so he did not go back to the college with his colleagues. Instead, he went back to the staff dormitory alone to sleep for a while, and then went to the meeting.
Then in the evening, he said that Liu Baoguo invited him to a dinner party, and most of the people at the dinner party were friends within the system.
Among them is Ni Jianrong.
When he was taking the statement, he specifically asked whether Captain Ni still remembered it.
Zhou Yi couldn't imagine how embarrassed Ni Jianrong was at that time. He loved socializing so much, but something went wrong.
But the bigger question is whether Ni Jianrong accidentally revealed anything at the time.
This was not written in the transcript, and Liang Wei probably didn't ask about it at the time.
Because if anyone wants to ask about this matter, the only one who can ask is Xie Guoqiang.
But Zhou Yi estimated that the situation was very bad, because the command center received a report that a bag of body parts was found in Nansha River that night, and Director Wang first contacted the Third Brigade.
As a result, all members of the Third Brigade went on a business trip for the Anyuan case.
So Director Wang contacted Ni Jianrong again.
Zhou Yi didn't know how he found it, and Shi Tao never mentioned it.
But if Ni Jianrong was at the dinner party at that time, he would most likely have made a phone call.
Shi Tao said that Ni Jianrong went to the scene. If we calculate the time and look at the dinner time mentioned by Chen Gengyun, Ni Jianrong should have left the dinner party directly and went to the scene.
It is unknown whether Ni Jianrong accidentally revealed anything when answering the phone.
However, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau suddenly had to leave on official business, and Chen Gengyun, as a criminal suspect, must have been alert.
Zhou Yi thought of the letter of complaint that suddenly appeared on the morning of May 2nd, and wondered if it was related to this incident.
After reading Chen Gengyun's transcript, Liang Wei asked, "Zhou Yi, now that you've finished reading it, tell me who you'll pick."
It is actually very clear now. Chen Gengyun and Fan Tianyou, Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi will judge one, and Liang Wei and Xiang Jie will judge the other.
Liang Wei took the initiative into his own hands.
In fact, Zhou Yi wanted to interrogate and question both of them.
But there is no way to be in two places at once.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I'd better try Fan Tianyou."
Then he immediately added, "Chen Gengyun is too shrewd and calculating. My skills are definitely not enough. Thank you, Team Liang."
Liang Wei nodded, looked at his watch and said, "Time is running out, so let's get started."
Zhou Yi wanted to remind Liang Wei, but after thinking about it, he shut up. The other party was much more experienced and shrewd than himself, so it was not his turn to remind him.
Besides, I couldn't tell him the poor information I had about my past life.
At this time, Liang Wei reminded: "Remember, if there are any major discoveries or unusual situations, exchange intelligence at any time and adjust the interrogation strategy."
After coming out of Liang Wei's office, Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi went downstairs. There was a modified temporary interrogation room on the west side of the second floor.
At this moment, Fan Tianyou is inside.
The two went downstairs and saw Xu Nian.
After Fan Tianyou was brought back, she came to compare and identify the wound on Fan Tianyou's right arm to confirm whether it matched Xiao Bing's teeth and the piece of meat found in his stomach.
"Xu Nian, what's the result?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.
Xu Nian shook his head: "The wound on Fan Tianyou's right arm was probably caused by high temperature burns. The charred tissue on the surface is not a normal healing scab, but an eschar."
"High temperature burns? Eschar?"
"Yes, that's what we often call dead skin. It's caused by high temperatures directly damaging human tissue, causing cell necrosis, resulting in hard, dry, and charred black necrotic tissue."
"Was it caused by fire?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Judging from the smoothness of the eschar on the wound surface and the curvature of the wound itself, I don't think direct burning could have caused this appearance." Xu Nian paused and said, "I'm more inclined to believe it was caused by a high-temperature metal object, such as a red-hot iron or a boiling kettle."
Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng were shocked.
Wu Yongcheng asked hurriedly, "But high-temperature burns won't cause the wound to sink, right?"
Xu Nian nodded. "That's right. High-temperature burns can cause severe edema. This kind of sunken burn eschar is most likely caused by a missing piece of flesh in the wound itself, and then a secondary burn was applied to stop the bleeding... or to destroy the original wound."
This result made Zhou Yi shudder. How cruel must this guy be? In order to destroy the evidence on the wound, he directly put the wound on the boiling kettle?
An ordinary person would scream and scream from the heat if they touched it, let alone getting their entire skin burnt.
"There are two more things I need to tell you."
"you say."
"First, I've treated his wound temporarily, but I suggest you take him to the hospital because he has a fever and may have an infection."
Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng looked at each other, both unwilling to accept the fact that sending him to the hospital meant that he could not be tried for the time being.
But the other party is an associate professor, and he is only summoned now, not even a criminal suspect. If something really happens, both of them will probably have to take off their police uniforms.
"Okay, we got it." Wu Yongcheng asked, "What's one more thing?"
Xu Nian said: "When I was treating his wounds, I found that he seemed to have many old wounds on his body."
Zhou Yi didn't understand and asked, "What kind of old injury?"
"I can't be sure without a thorough examination. After all, I'm only here to compare and identify the wounds, and I can't force a physical examination on him. I suggest that when you take him to the hospital, have the doctor give him a thorough examination under the guise of treatment."
Zhou Yi sighed, "I'm afraid this is the only way."
Xu Nian said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the bureau first. Teacher Song is still writing the autopsy report, and I have to go back to help him."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble. By the way, DNA..."
Zhou Yi suddenly remembered that it was not enough to just check the DNA of the meat. The DNA testing technology was not mature at the moment. He had asked Wu Yongcheng before. The provincial laboratory usually took seven to ten days to get the results, and expedited results would take five days.
So we can’t just check that piece of meat, we also need a comparison sample, so that when the results come out, the evidence will be solid.
DNA testing is the final support for investigation.
Xu Nian immediately understood and opened the medical kit he was carrying. Inside was an evidence bag containing some blood-stained cotton balls, which were left over from when he had just treated Fan Tianyou's wound.
"Very good!"
Xu Nian smiled at Wu Yongcheng and said, "Captain Wu, I'm so glad to see you again."
Wu Yongcheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
After Xu Nian left, Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi came to the door of the temporary interrogation room. Just as they were about to reach out to open the door, the door inside was suddenly opened.
The police officer in charge of the guard was stunned when he saw Wu Yongcheng, and then hurriedly said in a panic: "Captain Wu, Fan Tianyou has fainted."
"What?" The two rushed in to take a look.
Fan Tianyou's head was tilted to one side on the chair.
Since he had only been summoned and was not yet a detained suspect, he was not handcuffed or put in a detention chair according to regulations, and was only watched.
Zhou Yi was afraid that he was cheating, so he quickly walked over and checked his breathing, and found that he was breathing normally.
Then I touched my forehead and it was burning hot!
Wu Yongcheng also touched it, then turned over Fan Tianyou's eyelids, observed his pupils, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call the emergency number. If the task force was really dead, not only would the case be in trouble, but they would be in trouble as well.
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. After the doctor examined the patient, they immediately carried the man downstairs on a stretcher and put him in the ambulance.
The noise also alarmed Liang Wei upstairs.
Zhou Yi saw Liang Wei walking out of the house and standing on the balcony. He pointed at himself and Wu Yongcheng, and then pointed at the ambulance.
Liang Wei nodded in understanding.
Neither of them said anything, in order not to alert Chen Gengyun who was still being questioned inside.
Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi got on the ambulance, and Wu Yongcheng asked the doctor about the patient's condition.
After the doctor gave Fan Tianyou an IV drip of saline solution, he said that he was not in danger of death at the moment, and then asked the patient about his previous experience.
Zhou Yi pulled up Fan Tianyou's right sleeve, and Xu Nian simply treated the original wound with gauze and tape.
Zhou Yi didn't say anything. The emergency doctor reached out suspiciously and tore off the tape on one side of the gauze. He took a look and his face suddenly changed.
"This...how did this happen? Why is it so serious?" The doctor knew that the two people in front of him were policemen. There were many people in police uniforms in the building where they had just arrested people, and some were in plain clothes like these two.
"I probably burned my hand by putting it on the boiling kettle." Zhou Yi said lightly.
The doctor felt horrified instantly. He thought the burns he had inflicted were too severe!
Originally, we didn’t know whether this patient was a good person or a bad person, but now the doctor has come to the conclusion that this person is 100% a bad person.
"Can you die?" Wu Yongcheng asked.
The doctor replied, "There's no immediate danger of illness. It's probably an infection from the wound that's causing the high fever and coma. As long as there's no convulsions, there's no major problem."
"When will he wake up?"
"I can't say for sure. You can ask the emergency doctor later." The doctor looked at Fan Tianyou and asked worriedly, "Aren't you going to cuff this guy?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "It's okay, we are here, don't be afraid."
Zhou Yi thought, do you think I don’t want to handcuff you? How can I handcuff you when there is no direct evidence?
It's a pity that he had treated the wound, otherwise the forensic doctor would have issued an examination opinion, saying that the wound was basically consistent with the human tissue found in the victim's stomach, and he could have been detained on the spot.
Wu Yongcheng frowned and muttered, "You said that when Xiao Bing bit off this piece of flesh before he died, he should have known that he was doomed. There was no way he could escape. Did he think that as long as he treated the wound and made up an excuse that it was a burn, he could get away with it?"
As soon as Wu Yongcheng said this, the doctor next to him pricked up his ears.
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "No, I don't think it's because of luck."
"Then what's the reason?"
"Xiao Bing must have woken up in the split second before being pushed into the river and grabbed his right hand, trying to save himself or perhaps pull him down with him. But Xiao Bing had sleeping pills in his system at the time, and having been hiding for two days, his strength must have been greatly reduced."
"He must have known he was going to die, so he used up his last bit of strength to take that one bite, and then fell into the river."
Zhou Yi stared at the unconscious Fan Tianyou and said, "He probably never expected that Xiao Bing didn't struggle after falling into the water, but instead chose to swallow the meat in his mouth."
Zhou Yi's words shocked Wu Yongcheng deeply. It is human instinct to struggle for survival after falling into the water. A drowning person is in extreme pain because of water entering the nasal cavity and trachea.
Normally, if we accidentally choke on water while drinking, we will cough for a long time, so drowning people will instinctively breathe through their mouths when struggling.
But in Xiao Bing's case, if he opened his mouth, the meat in his mouth would inevitably fall into the water and be washed away.
The Nansha River is so big, where can the police find a piece of meat of only two or three centimeters?
So according to normal logic, Fan Tianyou really could not have imagined that this piece of meat would be preserved intact and become irrefutable evidence under those circumstances.
But what shocked Wu Yongcheng was the possibility Zhou Yi mentioned.
Even in the drowning situation, Xiao Bing actually gave up his instinct to survive and chose to sacrifice his life to leave evidence.
This is something that only a real man can do!
Wu Yongcheng felt very sorry that he didn't meet this man when he was still alive.
The doctor standing by appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was shocked by the few short words spoken by the two people.
Oh shit oh shit, this is huge gossip!
Zhou Yi leaned forward, put his hands together, and pressed them against his eyebrows.
Closing his eyes, he silently said in his heart: "Teacher Xiao, your death will not be in vain! I will definitely give you justice!"
When he opened his eyes, he was suddenly startled.
Because Fan Tianyou, who was originally unconscious, actually opened his eyes and stared at him.
The look in his eyes was extremely vicious, as if he wanted to tear Zhou Yi to pieces.
But Zhou Yi was not afraid at all. He looked straight into his eyes coldly, like a hunter looking at his dying prey playfully.
Suddenly, a sneer appeared on Zhou Yi's lips.
Because what he said just now was not only for Wu Yongcheng to hear, but also for Fan Tianyou to hear.
He was certain that Fan Tianyou had not completely lost consciousness.
Because the doctor was very calm after the examination and said that his life was not in danger.
So he knew that Fan Tianyou was pretending to be unconscious, so when Wu Yongcheng raised that question, he took advantage of the situation and deliberately said those words.
He just wanted to tell this bastard, you're finished!
You killed Xiao Bing, but Xiao Bing still successfully sent you to the guillotine!
The rest is just a matter of time.
Sure enough, this bastard was pretending to be unconscious, but now he is showing his true colors and is no longer pretending.
When he saw the sneer on Zhou Yi's lips, a trace of fear flashed in Fan Tianyou's eyes, and then he closed his eyes.
He never opened his eyes again until he was taken out of the ambulance.
But Zhou Yi knew that he was already scared.
Zhou Yi wanted to break his dying will.
When the murderer knows that the police have solid evidence that can convict him even if he doesn't speak, his psychological defenses will collapse.
The only difficulty now is that the task force cannot use force before the DNA test results come out. Even though he and Wu Yongcheng both know that Fan Tianyou is the murderer, there is no direct evidence to identify him as a suspect.
We can only follow the legal procedures, send him to the hospital first, and then start questioning him after his physical condition allows.
At that time, as long as he admits it, he can be handcuffed and controlled immediately.
The ambulance stopped and the doctor got out to open the door. Zhou Yi got out as well and saw that it was the Third Municipal Hospital.
This place is indeed closer to Hongda.
Then they carried the man down and sent him to the emergency room on a transfer bed. During the whole process, Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng stayed on Fan Tianyou's left and right, just to prevent him from escaping suddenly.
After the ambulance doctor and the emergency doctor explained the situation, they said goodbye to the two men: "Officers, my work is done, I will be leaving now."
Wu Yongcheng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
The ambulance doctor turned and left seriously, then quickened his pace towards his own department. His desire to share gossip was so strong that he could hardly suppress it.
The emergency doctor asked the nurse to draw blood for testing first, and then after looking at Fan Tianyou's wound, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
He frowned and said, "This level of routine disinfection won't work. We need to do a debridement surgery."
Wu Yongcheng asked, "What do you mean?"
The doctor pointed to the bloody, charred scar on the wound and said, "First, we need to cut off all the eschars, then remove all the necrotic and infected tissue around the wound, and then disinfect and bandage the wound."
"How long does the whole process take?"
"It depends on the specific situation of the infection under his wound, but it will probably take an hour or so."
Zhou Yi looked at Wu Yongcheng, who nodded and said, "Let's do it. Let's save his life first."
Zhou Yi agreed. After all, they were law enforcers. Even if a person committed a capital crime, he would still be protected by the law before the verdict and enjoy the rights of a legal citizen.
The doctor nodded and asked his colleagues to arrange emergency surgery.
Then let Wu Yongcheng and others pay the fees.
Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi looked at each other, feeling helpless.
Fan Tianyou is only summoned now, not a criminal suspect. He is not in custody and cannot use public funds.
It can only be borne by himself or his family.
In the current situation, either he needs to be called to pay the fee in person, or the school needs to be called over.
Or they could pay for it themselves and ask Fan Tianyou for money later.
The hospital doesn't care what your situation is. If you have relevant documents, they can put the money on the official account and handle it later. But if you don't have documents, the hospital won't let you owe it first.
Wu Yongcheng took out his ID, a pack of cigarettes, and a handful of crumpled change, and spread out his hands to indicate that he had no money.
Zhou Yi was extremely reluctant to pay for the medical expenses of this bastard.
Suddenly, he saw Fan Tianyou's bulging trouser pockets, patted Fan Tianyou's face and shouted, "Wake up, don't play dead!"
Fan Tianyou's eyelids twitched twice, he opened his eyes and glared at Zhou Yi.
"Do you have any money on you?" Zhou Yi asked.
Fan Tianyou just stared at him without saying anything.
Zhou Yi pointed at his nose and said, "I'm warning you now. You are saving your own life. If you don't cooperate, we will take coercive measures!"
Fan Tianyou finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "In the right trouser pocket."
Zhou Yi reached out and touched a wallet.
When I took it out, I saw that it was a black wallet with the logo of a luxury brand on it. The texture of the wallet was very good, but the edges and corners were severely worn, obviously it was old.
Zhou Yi opened it and took a look. There were several hundred dollars in it. He estimated that it would be enough to pay a deposit for the surgery, and the subsequent settlement would be handled by the task force and the school.
"Listen carefully, I'm going to pay you now. There will be an invoice for every penny you pay, and I will put the invoice in your wallet." Zhou Yi said loudly.
Fan Tianyou didn't say anything, but nodded.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes immediately became terrified, and he struggled to get up.
But he was held down by Wu Yongcheng on the other side, who shouted at him: "Behave yourself!"
This immediately attracted the attention of people in the emergency room.
Fan Tianyou's reaction aroused Zhou Yi's vigilance. Why was he suddenly so anxious for no reason?
Zhou Yi opened his wallet again and checked it carefully.
Suddenly, his movements paused slightly.
Then, he took out a photo from the compartment of Fan Tianyou's wallet.
Lu Xiaoshuang's photo!
The angle of the photo was obviously a candid shot. Lu Xiaoshuang's face was in profile, and the sunlight shone on her face, creating a layer of floating light.
Zhou Yi turned the photo over and saw a few lines of writing on the back of the photo.
At first Zhou Yi thought it was English, but after a closer look he found that he didn't recognize it, yet it looked a little familiar.
Suddenly he remembered that this was French. The same French was written on the back of the photo fragment found at Xiao Bing's house.
Zhou Yi didn't know French and Chen Yan was not there, but Zhou Yi had probably guessed something.
Therefore, the photo fragment in Xiao Bing's house was not taken by Xiao Bing.
Indeed, the task force did not find any camera or film in Xiao Bing's home or office, and his colleagues also confirmed that they had never seen him with a camera or have a hobby of taking pictures.
Besides, given Xiao Bing's financial situation, he probably couldn't afford such a hobby.
Now, this question has finally been solved.
The photo fragment in Xiao Bing's house was taken by Fan Tianyou. As long as we take the photo back and let Qiu Zhiyong do an identification and comparison, we will know whether the French text on the back was written by the same person.
And it has been proven that Fan Tianyou has been following and secretly photographing Lu Xiaoshuang for a long time, which shows that he has a paranoid obsession with Lu Xiaoshuang.
As for why Xiao Bing had that photo, Zhou Yi speculated that it was most likely that Fan Tianyou accidentally lost it, and then it was picked up by Xiao Bing by chance.
Because it is impossible that Fan Tianyou only took this one photo. The only reason he carries this one with him is because he is most satisfied with it and likes it the most.
In other words, Zhou Yi's previous speculation may have triggered Dong Lu's illness and his desire to harm Lu Xiaoshuang, which eventually led Xiao Bing to mistakenly believe that it was Dong Lu who hurt Lu Xiaoshuang, and then he chose to escape when facing investigation.
The culprit behind the photo that triggered a series of chain reactions was Fan Tianyou.
"What's going on?" Zhou Yi asked angrily.
Fan Tianyou closed his eyes and turned his head away, refusing to answer.
Wu Yongcheng knew that Lu Xiaoshuang was involved and Zhou Yi might be emotional, so he reminded him: "Why don't I go."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, shook his head, and said, "No, I'll go. He's just a grasshopper after autumn, he won't be able to jump for a few more days!"
Zhou Yi walked out of the emergency room with his wallet, but he took out a small evidence bag from his pocket and put the photo of Lu Xiaoshuang in it.
Line up and pay.
Zhou Yi suddenly realized that the place where he was standing was exactly where he stood two months ago when he paid the bill for his grandfather.
It seemed as if these two months were a cycle and I was back here again.
After paying the money and taking the form to give to the nurse at the window, Zhou Yi was about to walk back when he heard Qiao Jiali's voice behind him.
"Zhou Yi? Why are you here?"
Zhou Yi turned around and saw that it was Qiao Jiali who had just walked in from outside.
Zhou Yi briefly explained the situation. Qiao Jiali was shocked. She didn't expect that the case had made such rapid progress in just one day.
However, she was genuinely happy to hear that Captain Wu had returned.
Zhou Yi asked, "Sister Qiao, why are you here?"
"I come to check on Dong Lu's condition every day, and then ask Director Sun about the progress of her treatment and see when I can communicate with her."
"How is Dong Lu doing now?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.
"Director Sun said that after taking the medication, her condition is relatively stable, but Dong Lu's original personality occasionally becomes emotional." Qiao Jiali paused and said, "It's mainly because she keeps clamoring to find Xiao Bing."
When Zhou Yi heard Xiao Bing's name, his heart sank.
"Oh... we can't keep her from knowing the news of Xiao Bing's death forever, right?" Qiao Jiali sighed.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Xiao Bing and Dong Lu's cause and effect, he was only a teenager when it happened, and he was powerless to do anything about it. "Sister Qiao, I'll go over and hand in the bill first. If I have time, I'll come see Dong Lu later."
"Okay, let me know if you need help."
Zhou Yi returned to the emergency room and handed the list to the nurse.
Zhou Yi looked at Fan Tianyou lying there, and then at Wu Yongcheng.
Wu Yongcheng shook his head, meaning that there was nothing unusual.
After a while, two nurses came and after confirming Fan Tianyou's name, they were about to take the transfer bed away.
Wu Yongcheng grabbed the bed and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Send him to the operating room." The nurse looked at him puzzledly.
"Oh, okay, let's go." Wu Yongcheng then let go of his hand, and then he and Zhou Yi followed the transfer bed forward, one on the left and one on the right.
When they arrived at the door of the operating room, the two were about to follow in, but the nurse immediately stopped them, saying that it was a sterile area and family members were not allowed to enter.
Zhou Yi showed his ID, identified himself, and wanted to follow in.
The nurse said helplessly, even if you are a policeman, you can't go in, it's against the regulations.
Just then, the emergency doctor came and explained to the two that outsiders were indeed not allowed to enter. There were several operating rooms in the entire operating area, as well as a lot of sterile equipment, and he could not bear the responsibility of letting you in.
It is recommended that they talk to the hospital leaders.
The doctor looked at Fan Tianyou lying on the bed and said, "Or, if you're afraid he'll run away, handcuff him."
Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng looked at each other and realized that it was definitely unrealistic to go in.
After all, there is no emergency. If we really go to the hospital leaders to deal with it, we don’t know how long the negotiations will take.
The safest way is to handcuff the person.
Although it does not comply with the regulations, it is actually not a big problem. After all, the circumstances are special, and it is only a matter of time before he is arrested.
"Okay." Zhou Yi took out handcuffs and walked over.
Fan Tianyou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly sat up and shouted, "What are you doing? This is illegal. I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you!"
Zhou Yi pushed him down, then handcuffed one end of the handcuffs to his left wrist and the other end to the guardrail next to the transfer bed.
"Okay, you're welcome to sue me. Remember my name, Zhou Yi, from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. My police number is 361810."
Zhou Yi sneered, "I'm afraid you'll never have this opportunity again!"
At this moment, Zhou Yi saw panic in his eyes.
He knew he was finished.
"Doctor, please hurry up and ensure your own safety. If you are in danger, get away from this person immediately and let us handle it."
The emergency doctor nodded with a hint of worry in his eyes, but said nothing and helped the nurse push Fan Tianyou in.
The door to the operating room was closed.
Zhou Yi checked the time and said to Wu Yongcheng, "Captain Wu, I just ran into Sister Qiao. She went to the psychiatric ward to check on Dong Lu. It should take a while here, so I'd like to go over and check on her."
Wu Yongcheng nodded: "You go."
Zhou Yi pulled out his gun from his waist and handed it to Wu Yongcheng. He knew that Wu Yongcheng had handed in the gun when he was on sick leave.
"No need. He's already handcuffed, what can we do? Besides, with his size, he's not a threat."
"Just in case, you'd better take it. Besides, my hand is not flexible enough to use a gun. And there is also the handcuff key, in case the doctor wants to move him." Zhou Yi shook his left hand that was bitten by Dong Lu and wrapped in gauze, then he stuffed the gun directly into Wu Yongcheng's hand and left.
Wu Yongcheng looked at the gun in his hand, smiled, and then put it away.
He never expected that just ten minutes later, he would draw his gun.
Because there was an accident in the operating room!
