Chapter 437 Swear on the Police Badge (18 days a day)
The emergency department and outpatient department of the Third Municipal Hospital are in the same building.
But the operating area is not in the outpatient building, but in the inpatient building next to it.
They just came through the corridor between the two buildings.
The operating area is on the sixth floor, and the psychiatric ward is on the twelfth floor. The building has a total of eighteen floors. It is the tallest building in the entire hospital and also the tallest building in the vicinity.
Zhou Yi waited at the elevator entrance for two elevators before squeezing in.
As the largest hospital in the city, the thing it has the most is people.
After going up to the twelfth floor, Zhou Yi found Qiao Jiali, who had just come out of Director Sun's office.
It is said that Dong Lu's condition is relatively stable at present, but the Xiaoshuang personality is now dominant in her body. Although her emotions are stable, she is afraid of seeing people, so it may be difficult to get anything out of her.
Zhou Yi decided to go and take a look.
Dong Lu lived in an independent ward at the end of the corridor, and all expenses were paid by Director Sun.
Along the way, Zhou Yi saw many mental patients. Most of them had dull expressions and empty eyes. Of course, they were not aggressive. After all, the dangerous ones were locked up in mental hospitals.
Due to insufficient police force, the bureau could only send two people to take turns guarding the ward door 24 hours a day, both to protect Dong Lu and to prevent her from escaping again.
Except for Director Sun and designated nurses, no one else was allowed to approach Dong Lu's ward.
However, having said that, it is just an ordinary ward and there is no way to impose any compulsory measures.
And at the beginning, people were guarding inside the ward, but Qiao Jiali said that Dong Lu’s two personalities were very resistant, so they could only guard the door.
Zhou Yi saw a chair at the door and a colleague was sitting on it, yawning out of boredom.
Seeing two people coming, he quickly stood up and greeted them.
Qiao Jiali asked, "How's the situation?"
"It's quite normal, nothing much happening. I check on her every half hour. Director Sun comes twice a day, and the nurses come to check on her every two hours."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He peeked inside through the window at the ward door. The light inside was very dim. The curtains were drawn, but light still seeped in through the gaps.
Qiao Jiali explained, "The hospital ward originally didn't have curtains. Director Sun had them installed overnight. He said it would increase Xiaoshuang's sense of security."
In other words, the curtains are now drawn, and the person inside is the Xiaoshuang personality.
Zhou Yi gently pushed the door open and walked in, and Qiao Jiali followed him in.
The ward was not big. When I walked in, I saw a bed in the middle and a person hiding under the quilt on the bed.
"Xiaoshuang?" Zhou Yi shouted.
There was a stir under the quilt, but no answer.
"We met the day before yesterday. Do you still remember my voice?" Zhou Yi walked over and asked.
Qiao Jiali smiled and said, "Xiao Shuang, I came to see you yesterday. Do you still remember me?"
A pair of eyes appeared from under the quilt. Although the surrounding environment was dim, it was not the basement of Xiao Bing's house after all. Zhou Yi could still see clearly after adapting to the environment.
Zhou Yi was sure that these eyes belonged to Xiaoshuang's personality, because he looked at them with extreme fear, like a small animal.
Zhou Yi didn't know what was going on with Dong Lu's dual personality. When he left the hospital last time, he asked Qiao Jiali what Director Sun thought about this personality switch.
Qiao Jiali said that Director Sun had not yet found the pattern because he had not observed Dong Lu continuously before.
But judging from what happened in the interrogation room that day, it is basically certain that the two personalities are not completely isolated and unaware of each other.
Moreover, Zhou Yi also called out Dong Lu's personality through Xiaoshuang's personality. This incident surprised Director Sun very much afterwards and he felt that it had great research value.
He also tried this later during treatment, communicating with Xiaoshuang's personality and calling out Dong Lu's personality, but was unsuccessful.
The laws involved require long-term clinical observation.
This matter is actually very mysterious. Zhou Yi had seen several cases of schizophrenia in his previous life, both true and false.
Although I have heard of multiple personality disorder, I have never seen a real case of it.
However, for Dong Lu, who has been in excruciating pain and suffering for the past ten years, it is actually a good thing for her to split into a pure personality that knows nothing. This may be the result of her self-protection mechanism.
However, because Xiaoshuang's personality was split out later, she knew nothing. If she wanted to have an effective conversation, she had to find Dong Lu's original personality.
"I remember you." The Little Frost personality suddenly said timidly.
This was said to Zhou Yi.
"Your sister bit you, but you didn't hit her, so you are a good person."
Zhou Yi was very surprised that the other party would actually take the initiative to talk to him, and she also knew that Dong Lu had bitten him.
Is it possible that these two personalities can communicate?
"Yes, I am a good person. Because I am a policeman, you don't have to be afraid. I will protect you." Zhou Yi slowly approached the other party and said in a gentle voice.
"Xiao Shuang, can you call your sister out? I want to ask her a few questions."
The Little Frost personality, wrapped in the quilt, blinked and gave an answer that left Zhou Yi at a loss.
"My sister said she didn't want to come out since she couldn't see her brother."
Zhou Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment, because he couldn't do it and he couldn't bring Xiao Bing here.
He knew it was useless to reason with a mentally ill person, so he could only sigh.
Suddenly, he felt Lu Xiaoshuang's photo in his pocket. A desperate thought struck him. He pulled out Lu Xiaoshuang's photo and asked, "Can you take a look at this photo? Have you seen any similar ones?"
Seeing this, Qiao Jiali opened the curtains slightly to let the light in.
Although it was only opened a little, the sunlight pierced in like a sharp sword.
The little frost personality quickly covered his eyes with the quilt and shouted to pull it up quickly.
Zhou Yi whispered softly, "Xiao Shuang, didn't you say I was a good person? Then can you do me a favor? Take a look at this photo, or let your sister come out and take a look?"
The quilt slowly loosened, revealing only one eye, which looked at the photo illuminated by the sunlight.
Zhou Yi stared at that eye.
A magical scene appeared. Zhou Yi stared at the eye and never looked away.
There was no change in that eye, but Zhou Yi felt that the personality in Dong Lu's body had changed.
Dong Lu's true personality appeared. She looked at Lu Xiaoshuang's photo and asked tremblingly, "Where did you get this photo? Did Xiao Bing give it to you?"
Wearing a hospital gown, she excitedly crawled out from under the quilt, revealing her horrifically burned body.
She snatched the evidence bag containing the photo, turned it over, and excitedly grabbed Zhou Yi and asked, "Where did it come from? Is this Xiao Bing's? Is it?"
Seeing Dong Lu so excited, Qiao Jiali was about to rush out to call a doctor, but Zhou Yi made a gesture to stop her.
Zhou Yi looked her straight in the eye and replied, "This photo isn't Xiao Bing's. It was given to me by a man named Fan Tianyou."
A strange thing happened. Dong Lu had no reaction to the name Fan Tianyou.
As if he had only heard the first sentence, he kept repeating five words while clutching the photo: "It's not Xiao Bing's, it's not Xiao Bing's."
Zhou Yi asked tentatively, "Don't you think the name Fan Tianyou sounds familiar?"
But she still didn't respond, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts. She kept muttering to herself, and suddenly she started sobbing softly.
Her mumblings basically confirmed Zhou Yi's previous guess.
"It's not Xiao Bing's. He really picked it up. I wronged him. I wronged him."
"I didn't mean to kill her. I was just afraid that you wouldn't want me. I was just saying that out of anger."
"She's so pretty, but I look like a monster."
"Teacher Xiao, please don't abandon me. I have nothing left. You are all I have left."
Zhou Yi turned his head and glanced at Qiao Jiali, feeling helpless. It seemed that they could no longer communicate normally.
Dong Lu's mumblings basically confirmed Zhou Yi's speculation.
Xiao Bing picked up the photo and took it back, where it was accidentally discovered by Dong Lu.
Dong Lu looked at the photo of Lu Xiaoshuang, who was young and beautiful and looked exactly like herself before her disfigurement, and concluded that Xiao Bing had fallen in love with someone else.
The stimulated Dong Lu suffered a schizophrenia attack. He tore up the photos in agitation and said some words threatening to hurt Lu Xiaoshuang.
And it just so happens that Lu Xiaoshuang's experience in this life is different from that in the previous life.
In the previous life, Lu Xiaoshuang was dismembered. When Xiao Bing heard this news, he might have suspected Dong Lu for a moment, but he was unlikely to really believe that Dong Lu was the one who killed and dismembered the person.
Because dismemberment is a complex crime and requires a venue.
He knew that Dong Lu could not have the conditions and ability to commit the crime, so even when faced with an expanded police investigation, he would not think of escaping.
But in this life, no one knows about Lu Xiaoshuang's situation except the police.
To the teachers and students of Hongda, this person just took a leave of absence. Of course, some people would definitely wonder if Lu Xiaoshuang was also dead.
But Lu Xiaoshuang's information is different from Xu Liu's. It is completely closed, which is equivalent to not finding the person alive or the body dead.
Therefore, Xiao Bing, who became withdrawn, would think that Dong Lu hurt or even killed Lu Xiaoshuang.
People with introverted personalities tend to have extreme ways of thinking.
No one can be sure whether what a mentally ill person says is true or false.
In the end, Xiao Bing did something stupid.
For Zhou Yi and the task force, this was clearly a problem that could be effectively resolved by simply telling the truth.
But for Xiao Bing, this is his logic.
Zhou Yi knew that this was Xiao Bing's withdrawn self after being tortured and bruised by the cruelty of life.
If it was the cheerful Xiao Bing who loved and was loved before Dong Lu got into trouble, things would not have come to this.
But what made Zhou Yi feel even more painful was that Teacher Xiao, who was covered in bruises, could still stand up and risk his own life in the food street.
This is kindness that runs deep in the bones, from Xiao Fugui to Xiao Youfu to Xiao Bing, the noble souls of three generations of the Xiao family!
God, you are so unfair!
Why don’t good people live long and have to suffer so much in this world!
Dong Lu's mumblings cleared up some questions.
But it also raises new questions.
She had no reaction to the name Fan Tianyou.
If this was the person who burned her, then even if she was mentally ill, it would be impossible for her to have no reaction when hearing the name of her enemy.
Zhou Yi had seen him have an attack before. If Fan Tianyou was the culprit, she should have become hysterical by now.
Could it be that Fan Tianyou really has nothing to do with Dong Lu?
Suddenly, the cell phone in Zhou Yi's pocket rang.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was Wu Yongcheng calling.
He was suddenly shocked because he had only been away for ten minutes and Captain Wu called so quickly. Something must be going on.
"Hey, Captain Wu, what's going on?"
Zhou Yi answered the phone. Before Wu Yongcheng could say anything, he heard a chaotic noise in the background of the phone, accompanied by a woman's crying.
"Zhou Yi, Fan Tianyou is holding a female nurse hostage with a scalpel, come here quickly!" Wu Yong shouted on the phone.
"What?" Zhou Yi was shocked. "Where is he now?"
"In the operating room, I blocked it!"
"I'll be right there." Zhou Yi rushed out and said to Qiao Jiali, "Sister Qiao, Fan Tianyou has held a nurse hostage. Come with me to provide support."
Qiao Jiali immediately rushed out.
Both of them forgot that Lu Xiaoshuang's photo was still in Dong Lu's hands.
Dong Lu, lying on the hospital bed, seemed to have just heard Zhou Yi's words. She muttered to herself in a daze, "Did Teacher Xiao really pick up this photo? Or did this Fan Tianyou give it to him? No, I have to find this guy and ask him clearly."
Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali ran to the elevator and pressed the down button.
However, the elevators in the Third Municipal Hospital are very old and have no floor display. It is impossible to tell which floor the two elevators on the left and right are on.
Zhou Yi turned around and said, "Take the stairs!"
When he turned around, he was stunned because the policeman guarding Dong Lu was also standing next to him.
Qiao Jiali also noticed it and turned around to ask, "Why are you here?"
The younger colleague replied awkwardly, "Aren't we going to provide support?"
Qiao Jiali knew that he had misunderstood and asked him to return to his post immediately.
At this time, the elevator came down, and Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali got on the elevator immediately.
The colleague scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Then he walked back to the ward at the end of the corridor.
Just as I was about to sit down on the chair, I found that the door was ajar.
He thought it was not closed properly, so he closed it casually.
But the next second he pushed the door open and rushed in.
There was no one in the ward. The quilt on the bed was open and the slippers on the floor were still there, but Dong Lu was the only one missing.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to be punished this time."
On the other side, Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali rushed out as soon as the elevator door opened. Turning a corner after coming out of the elevator was the operating room waiting area.
The two did not see Wu Yongcheng, but they saw the wide-open door of the operating area, and there were many panicked medical staff at the door.
Zhou Yi reached for the gun at his waist, then he remembered that he had given his gun to Wu Yongcheng.
"Police, get out of the way!" Zhou Yi shouted.
When the doctors and nurses at the door heard this, they immediately made way, and the operating area that was previously off-limits was now unobstructed.
As the two entered, they heard Wu Yongcheng shouting from the right: "Here!"
I immediately ran towards the sound and passed by an operating room with the lights on.
Zhou Yi stopped and took a look. There were some medical instruments and some scattered bloodstains on the ground. The transfer bed where Fan Tianyou was handcuffed was empty, with handcuffs hanging on the armrest on one side.
What the fuck is going on?
Wu Yongcheng's figure appeared at the end of the corridor, where there was a door that was now open.
"Come quickly!" Wu Yongcheng shouted.
The two ran over and saw that there was an elevator at the end of the corridor. It was newer than the one outside. It was marked with "For Internal Surgery Only". There was also a floor display at the top of the elevator with numbers scrolling.
"Captain Wu, where are the people?"
Wu Yongcheng said with a serious expression, holding a gun in his right hand: "Just got on the elevator."
Zhou Yi looked up and saw that the numbers on the elevator were scrolling down layer by layer.
He looked around and saw that there was only one elevator.
He saw a sign for a safe passage where he had just come from. He pointed and shouted, "Captain Wu, there are stairs!"
Wu Yongcheng asked Qiao Jiali to stay here, watch the elevator floor, and keep the phone connected to prevent him from making a feint to the east and escaping from another floor.
Then he and Zhou Yi ran downstairs.
Zhou Yi was young and in peak condition. He took seven or eight steps at a time and almost flew down the stairs while holding onto the handrail.
But when I rushed out after going down to the first floor, I was dumbfounded. The door of the elevator entrance was locked, and it was chained from the outside.
In other words, it was impossible for Fan Tianyou to escape from the first floor.
"Captain Wu!" Zhou Yi was about to shout.
Wu Yongcheng's voice came from the stairs: "Zhou Yi, Xiao Qiao said the elevator is going up again."
It seems that Fan Tianyou went down to the first floor and found that he couldn't get out, so he went up again.
"Ask Sister Qiao to press the elevator button for the sixth floor!" Zhou Yi shouted.
Wu Yongcheng replied: "No, he is very emotional right now, and the hostage is already injured. Xiao Qiao can't handle it."
Then he shouted into the phone, "Xiao Qiao, don't press the elevator button. Continue to announce the elevator's stop location."
He shouted again, "Zhou Yi, call for reinforcements and seal off the hospital! I've asked the doctors to seal off all entrances and exits on the first floor. He can't escape."
When I turned around, I found that Zhou Yi had already run to my side. With such speed, I couldn't help but admit that I was getting old.
"Okay." Zhou Yi immediately took out his cell phone and called Liang Wei. He had called in the elevator just now, but there was no signal. After he came out, the situation was urgent and he didn't have time.
On the task force side, Liang Wei walked out of the temporary interrogation room and picked up the phone. He heard Zhou Yi speaking very quickly.
Liang Wei's face changed drastically, and he replied, "Okay, I understand. You guys act accordingly!"
Just as Zhou Yi hung up the phone, he heard Qiao Jiali's voice on Wu Yongcheng's phone, which was on loudspeaker: "Captain Wu, the elevator is going up. It might be going to the top floor."
Wu Yongcheng shouted: "Quickly find a hospital and cut off the power to the elevator."
It has only been two or three minutes since Fan Tianyou got on the elevator. The purpose of cutting off the power was not to trap people in the elevator, because there would be no time, but to prevent the other party from escaping through the elevator.
Then he shouted to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, rooftop!"
A few minutes ago, Wu Yongcheng, who was guarding outside the operating area, suddenly heard a scream from inside.
The old detective's intuition told him that something had happened!
He immediately pulled out his gun and rushed into the operating area without caring about sterility.
Then he saw someone screaming and running out of an operating room on the right, so he rushed out immediately.
In the operating room, Fan Tianyou's left hand was still handcuffed to the guardrail of the transfer bed, but his injured right hand was holding a scalpel, and a nurse in surgical gown was holding him under his body.
The emergency doctor from earlier was still in the operating room, and he was so scared that he kept shouting, "Calm down, calm down."
Wu Yongcheng immediately pointed his gun at Fan Tianyou and shouted, "Fan Tianyou, let go of the hostages, or I will shoot!"
When Fan Tianyou saw Wu Yongcheng, he immediately hid behind the hostage, but the scalpel in his hand was against the hostage's neck.
He yelled excitedly, "Don't come over here! I know where the aorta is. If I cut her with this knife, she will definitely die!"
The nurse was wearing a cap and a mask, revealing only her eyes, which were filled with fear and tears. "Help me! I'm still young and I don't want to die!"
"Shut up!" Fan Tianyou yelled hysterically.
Wu Yongcheng discovered that, just as Zhou Yi said, Fan Tianyou's mental state seemed to be unstable and he could easily get excited.
Logically speaking, a person who could commit such a cold-blooded dismemberment case as the Hongda case, and then carry out such a complicated act of framing others, must have extreme violent tendencies. But how could he be so impatient and have such severe mood swings?
Could it be that it was caused by wound infection?
But no matter what the reason, he is so emotional now that if he is provoked, the hostage's life may be in danger.
"Okay, I won't come over, but you stay calm and don't hurt the hostages. We can discuss anything." Wu Yongcheng took a step back. This physical action was intended to lower the other party's psychological guard, but the gun in Wu Yongcheng's hand was still pointed at the other party.
From the current perspective, it is certain that he can shoot Fan Tianyou in the body, but it may not be possible to kill him with one shot. I guess only Chen Yan has this ability.
If you can't kill with one blow, the hostage will be in danger due to the sharpness of the scalpel.
And no questions have been asked yet. If he is shot to death, the case will be in trouble.
Therefore, the most important thing is to stabilize his emotions first.
"Untie the handcuffs!" Fan Tianyou shouted.
Wu Yongcheng said embarrassedly: "The key is not with me, I can't do it..."
Before he finished speaking, Fan Tianyou yelled, "I don't care, take off the handcuffs."
He was already running a fever and treatment had not yet begun. He only had some saline drip on the way here.
The wound on his right hand was exposed under the light, which was shocking. At this time, blood flowed from the wound and dripped down his arm to the ground.
But Fan Tianyou seemed to be completely unaware, and Wu Yongcheng only found out the reason later.
When Fan Tianyou heard Wu Yongcheng say that he didn't have the key, he exerted force and the tip of the sharp scalpel pierced the hostage's neck.
The hostage was so scared that he cried loudly, but he didn't dare to move. He kept crying and calling for his mother.
Wu Yongcheng knew that the other party had gone crazy and was ready to fight to the death at any time.
He quickly comforted her, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, let me look for it first."
He pretended to feel around with his left hand, thinking about how he could call Zhou Yi to inform him.
But Fan Tianyou couldn't wait any longer and shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, or I will kill her!"
Wu Yongcheng knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he took out the key and said, "I found it, I found it. Don't hurt her. I'll come over and uncuff you now."
As he spoke, he raised his hand first, holding the key in his left hand to show him, to dispel his doubts.
He also raised the gun in his right hand, then slowly squatted down, intending to put the gun on the ground.
His plan was to unlock Fan Tianyou's door and then take the opportunity to snatch the knife from his hand.
He knew Fan Tianyou's physical fitness and was confident that he could snatch it away. The worst that could happen was that he would get stabbed in the hand.
His actions were intended to reduce the threat he posed to Fan Tianyou and make him relax his guard.
But just as he was about to put down his gun, Fan Tianyou suddenly shouted, "Don't come over here! Let him come over."
He looked at the emergency doctor beside him.
Wu Yongcheng knew that something was wrong. Although the other party was emotionally unstable, he still had some intelligence.
The emergency doctor was dumbfounded. He looked at Fan Tianyou and then at Wu Yongcheng, and said with a sad face, "I... I can't do this..."
Wu Yongcheng didn't blame him. It was courageous of him not to run away, but a man couldn't say no at this time.
He stood up again, handed the key in his left hand to the emergency doctor, and said with a dark face: "Go quickly, be careful, and don't do anything unnecessary!"
The gun in his hand was pointed at Fan Tianyou again.
Wu Yongcheng's reminder was for the sake of the doctors and the hostages. Without professional training, it would be easy to cause casualties if they rashly tried to save people.
The emergency doctor took the key reluctantly, then nervously and slowly moved towards the two people opposite.
Fan Tianyou shouted: "Hurry up!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited." The emergency doctor walked over and began trying to unlock the door.
But his hands were shaking so much that it took him several tries to get his hand into the keyhole of the handcuffs.
With a click, the moment the handcuffs on Fan Tianyou's wrists were unlocked, the emergency doctor turned around and wanted to run back.
Fan Tianyou shouted, "Stop."
The doctor's steps suddenly froze.
"Where is the internal exit?" At this time, Fan Tianyou was in a very bad mental state, his face was pale and covered in cold sweat.
Wu Yongcheng knew that his body could not hold on for much longer.
If he delays any longer, he will collapse on his own, so stop him immediately.
But it was still too late. The frightened emergency doctor pointed and said, "There's an elevator over there."
Wu Yongcheng stomped his feet in anger, damn it!
With his left hand freed, Fan Tianyou immediately took control of the hostage, shouting at Wu Yongcheng to get out while moving forward facing Wu Yongcheng.
Although Wu Yongcheng was trying to persuade the other party, he knew that under such circumstances, the other party would not listen to anything.
While they were in a stalemate, Fan Tianyou slowly moved to the entrance of the internal elevator. Just then, the elevator arrived and two medical staff came out.
I was stunned when I saw this scene and stood in the elevator not daring to move.
It was not until Fan Tianyou retreated into the elevator with the hostage and yelled, "Get out!" that the two men were so scared that they ran away.
When the elevator door closed, Wu Yongcheng immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhou Yi.
Only after I finished the call did I ask the emergency doctor what was going on.
Wu Yongcheng roughly understood the situation from the incoherent doctor.
Just after administering local anesthesia, Fan Tianyou suddenly grabbed the scalpel beside him and took the nurse next to him hostage.
That's why he turned a blind eye to the bleeding from the wound, because the local anesthesia took effect and he could not feel the pain from the wound.
Wu Yongcheng asked the doctor to quickly notify the security guard downstairs to block all exits.
When the doctor stumbled downstairs, Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali arrived just in time.
While climbing to the roof, Wu Yongcheng briefly told Zhou Yi about the situation.
Zhou Yi rushed to the front first, because Qiao Jiali said on Wu Yongcheng's phone that the elevator finally stopped on the 18th floor.
Fan Tianyou really ran to the roof. This was the worst outcome. He knew he couldn't escape, and he was probably ready to fight to the death.
If they had been able to follow them into the operating room just now, this kind of accident would not have happened! But there is no point in talking about this now.
What we need to do now is to rescue the hostages and capture Fan Tianyou.
…
When Zhou Yi climbed to the top floor, Wu Yongcheng still had one and a half floors to go.
It was not until this time that he realized that he had indeed smoked too much. His body could take it, but his lung capacity could not, and his breathing was obviously very disordered.
Then he heard Zhou Yi's loud warning from above: "Fan Tianyou! Stop! Don't make the same mistake again!"
Wu Yongcheng knew that Zhou Yi had found Fan Tianyou on the rooftop. He had indeed gone to the rooftop!
He gritted his teeth and climbed up.
The elevator only goes to the 18th floor, but the stairs lead up one more floor, which is the emergency exit leading to the rooftop.
From the elevator entrance to the stairs and continuing upwards, there were spots of blood.
Wu Yongcheng climbed the last floor with a painful expression, wiped the sweat off his face, and walked out of the open emergency exit.
On the empty rooftop, Fan Tianyou, who was twenty or thirty meters away, held the hostage tightly with his left hand and pressed the scalpel in his right hand against the hostage's neck.
The originally sterile surgical gown was now stained with blood, some of which came from the hostage's injured neck, but more of it came from Fan Tianyou.
Professor Fan, who looked gentle and polite when Zhou Yi met him this morning, now had disheveled hair and a pale face, looking like a madman.
Zhou Yi had no weapon, so he could only raise his hands and try to get closer to the other party.
But the other party obviously didn't allow him to get close at all, and yelled: "Stand there, don't come over."
The weather forecast says it will be cloudy to overcast with wind today.
The sunlight flickered with the clouds running across the blue sky, shining on a few people from time to time.
Wu Yongcheng didn't have time to calm down, he immediately pointed the gun at Fan Tianyou, and then quickly approached Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi tried to speak calmly and loudly, "Fan Tianyou, lay down your weapons and surrender. Don't be stubborn. I know you don't want this either. You're a respected associate professor. You really don't need to go this far. Think about the hard work and hardships you've put in to get out of the mountains. Think about your family and friends. Lay down your weapons. We won't make things difficult for you. Cooperate with our investigation and strive for leniency!"
Unlike Hong Kong Island, there are no dedicated negotiation expert positions in China. Hostage-taking incidents like this are usually handled by experienced police officers, because the slightest carelessness may provoke the criminals.
Wu Yongcheng was actually dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's handling of the hostage-taking incident at the food street because he was too reckless and intensified the conflict. Otherwise, things would not have come to this point.
Fortunately, the subsequent handling was pretty good, and the social response it caused was very good, so it can be considered a coincidence.
So just now he was still worried that Zhou Yi taking the lead would provoke the other party.
However, Zhou Yi's words just now were very steady, which made him feel at ease.
However, the negotiation work for sudden crimes is very complicated and requires considerable experience from the police officers involved.
Because the core goal of negotiations is to "resolve the crisis with zero casualties," psychological intervention is generally the main approach, with force as the bottom line.
What's more, there is a particularly obvious problem now, that is, this is the rooftop of the 18th floor, and there is no such tall building nearby.
This means that it is impossible to set up a sniper point.
Moreover, the wind on the roof was quite strong, which might affect the trajectory of the bullet. At least he was not sure that he could kill the other party with one shot.
So he decided to take over the negotiation and said, "I'm Wu Yongcheng, deputy chief of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. I can assure you that if you can put down the knife now, it will be considered that you have voluntarily stopped your criminal behavior, and the law will allow for a lighter sentence."
Unexpectedly, Fan Tianyou's words put them in a passive position.
Fan Tianyou yelled at Wu Yongcheng: "You are not allowed to stay here!"
"I..." Wu Yongcheng was stunned.
"Except Zhou Yi, no one of you is allowed here, otherwise I will kill her!" Fan Tianyou applied a little force with the scalpel in his hand, and the wound began to bleed. The hostage was so scared that he started to cry, but he didn't dare to move his body.
Wu Yongcheng was in a dilemma. He didn't expect the other party to specifically name Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi winked at him, meaning that he was fine.
"Hurry up! I'll count to tens!" Fan Tianyou yelled, "Ten! Nine!"
"Okay, okay, I'll leave right away, don't get excited." Wu Yongcheng turned around and was about to leave, but tried to go towards Zhou Yi. He wanted to give the gun in his hand to Zhou Yi. Without a weapon, he would be completely passive.
But Fan Tianyou obviously saw through his intention and shouted: "Don't give him the gun, otherwise I will kill the hostage now!"
Wu Yongcheng had no choice but to raise his hands in a gesture of giving up, and then whispered: "Watch your back!"
Zhou Yi was stunned, not understanding what it meant.
Wu Yongcheng was walking back and had just taken two steps when he tripped and fell flat on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. It was my fault." Wu Yongcheng quickly got up.
But the gun was gone from his hand.
About two meters behind Zhou Yi, there was an abandoned urinal. It was unknown which patient's family member had thrown it there.
Behind the urinal was Zhou Yi's service pistol.
When Wu Yongcheng walked into the emergency door, he looked back, his eyes full of worry.
At this moment, Qiao Jiali ran up and asked, "Captain Wu, what's the situation?"
"Call Chen Yan and ask him to come over quickly." Wu Yongcheng said as he took out his cell phone.
Seeing him take out his phone and ask her to call Chen Yan, Qiao Jiali asked curiously, "Captain Wu, who are you calling?"
"Give it to Director Xie, and have him ask the armed police to send professional snipers for support."
Qiao Jiali knew that the situation was serious.
…
On the rooftop, after Wu Yongcheng left, Zhou Yi opened his arms, indicating that he had no weapons and posed no threat, and asked him not to be too nervous to avoid a tragedy caused by a slip of the hand.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the whistling of sirens downstairs. He knew that reinforcements had arrived, but the current situation was doomed. No reinforcements would come up, and he would have to fight alone.
Fan Tianyou's condition was obviously very bad. Although there was a strong wind on the stage, his hair was wet with sweat.
Zhou Yi knew that his condition had not been alleviated, but the wound had been numbed and his pain had been relieved.
He didn't know what Fan Tianyou was going to do, but he knew that it would be difficult to persuade him to lay down his arms.
Therefore, the safest way is to keep pushing until his body reaches its limit and he passes out.
Only in this way can the safety of the hostages be guaranteed and Fan Tianyou be allowed to survive and be investigated by the police to find out the truth of the Hongda case.
Therefore, he must delay the time as much as possible without rushing or irritating the other party, while at the same time taking the initiative in the conversation.
"Professor Fan, are there any family members or friends you'd like to see? I can help you contact them."
This is a common negotiation technique that mobilizes personal intimacy and activates the inner emotions of the gangster.
After all, everyone has someone they care about. In his previous life, Zhou Yi had seen many people who broke the law and cried bitterly and regretted their actions in front of their relatives.
Unexpectedly, when Fan Tianyou heard this question, his eyes suddenly became desperate.
He sneered and said, "It was a mistake for someone like me to be born! I shouldn't have been born into this world!"
Zhou Yi was startled by this. What did this mean? Although he came from the mountains and his material conditions must have been difficult, his achievements were obvious to all. Such a young associate professor should be living in the spotlight, so why would he have such an unusual reaction?
"Professor Fan, you are really too self-deprecating. If a superior person like you should not come to this world, how can ordinary people like us survive?" Zhou Yi said with a nonchalant smile.
His words were not groundless. When he and Wu Yongcheng set up a plan to check Fan Tianyou's wound, Fan Tianyou, who was pinned to the ground, was extremely agitated and yelled that he was the best of the best and that everyone was trash.
In fact, this is also the second reason why Zhou Yi feels disconnected.
How could a person who feels superior to others in his heart also feel that being born was a mistake and that he shouldn't have come into this world?
This is too fragmented and too contradictory.
Unless, like Dong Lu, he also has a mental illness.
But Zhou Yi thought this was basically impossible. Not only was there no relevant record in the archives, but also, if someone had a mental illness and could earn a doctorate and become an associate professor at a key university, something would have happened long ago. It would be impossible for him to teach peacefully.
He probably has serious psychological problems, but psychological problems are not the same as mental illness.
Many psychopathic murderers have psychological problems, but the law will not let criminals off because of their psychological problems.
The reason why mentally ill people do not have to bear criminal responsibility is that they do not have full criminal responsibility when they become ill.
But psychopaths are very clear about what they are doing when they commit crimes. They just can't control their emotions, not the ability to control their bodies.
Fan Tianyou suddenly asked Zhou Yi a question: "Are you Lu Xiaoshuang's boyfriend?"
"What?" Zhou Yi pretended not to hear, but in fact he was trying to delay time as much as possible and let him talk more to consume his energy.
"I know you've come to see her a few times, and I also know she often comes to your house to look for you."
Sure enough, Fan Tianyou had been secretly following Lu Xiaoshuang.
Then, Fan Tianyou sneered and asked a question that made Zhou Yi angry.
"You guys slept together, didn't you? On April 15th, she didn't go back to school and spent the night at your house!" Fan Tianyou asked with cold eyes, "You guys slept together, didn't you?"
Zhou Yi felt anger burning in his chest. He didn't care, but for Lu Xiaoshuang, who remained a virgin until her death in her previous life, this was a huge insult!
But he didn't dare to provoke the other party, so he could only suppress his anger and grit his teeth and replied: "No!"
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Zhou Yi was furious, but he still took out his police ID with rapid breathing, pointed the badge at the other party, and shouted: "Fan Tianyou, I am a police officer, and I swear on this badge now! I, Zhou Yi, and Lu Xiaoshuang have a clean record. I have never done anything inappropriate!"
Fan Tianyou was obviously stunned for a moment, as if a little surprised: "You...you are lying to me."
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I've only sworn an oath to the police badge twice in my life. Once was the day I officially became a police officer, and once is now! You're a highly educated intellectual, don't you even believe in the faith of a police officer?"
Fan Tianyou suddenly became a little flustered, as if Zhou Yi's words were completely beyond his expectations. His expression was as if something in his heart was broken.
Fan Tianyou said, "You...you guys go somewhere quickly."
