Chapter 70
Walking into Guo Da's lounge, Lin Sheng casually opened the notebook on the table and looked at the handwriting. Guo Da has always been used to writing with his left hand, and it was because of this that he was exposed.
But a murderer who could commit three murders in a row must have a meticulous mind. How could he have neglected this?
Lin Sheng expressed doubts about this.
After taking a quick look at the contents of the notes, which were all medical knowledge, Lin Sheng put the notes back and walked towards the bedside. He inadvertently brushed against the corner of the table and knocked over the messy books on the table. Four or five medical books, each as thick as his little finger, instantly fell to the ground, and a small card fell out of them.
After picking up the book and putting it away, Lin Sheng picked up the card and turned it over. There was a photo of Ye Jingchuan stuck on the card, which was probably cut out from a magazine. The Ye Jingchuan in the photo looked a little younger and more immature than he is now.
The corners of the card are slightly curled, and the edges are even a little yellowed, which are the marks of people repeatedly flipping through it for a long time, but the photo on it has been well protected and there is no trace of dirt or wrinkles.
On the back of the card, the three words "Ye Jingchuan" were clearly written with a black signature pen. Although it was clear that the person who wrote was left-handed, the handwriting did not seem to be Guo Da's. However, it could not be denied that Guo Da might have changed his handwriting after so long.
"Could it be Ye Jingchuan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind Lin Sheng suddenly opened.
Lin Sheng was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the door opening behind him. Suddenly, a palm slapped his shoulder. Lin Sheng was startled instantly and grabbed the other person with his backhand. Just as he was about to turn over and twist the other person's hand, he heard Wen Yao's panicked plea for mercy.
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin! It's me, Wen Yao! Don't... don't do it."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Sheng paused and happened to meet Xu Guannan's eyes at the door. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and let go of Wen Yao's hand.
"Don't try sneak attacks next time. You might not be so lucky next time."
Wen Yao quickly withdrew his hand, with a look of fear and uncertainty on his face, and stroked his intact arm with a comforting look.
"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Lin Sheng looked at Xu Guannan and asked,
"What did Guo Da confess? Is he the murderer?"
Xu Guannan shook his head and answered calmly,
"He admitted that he drugged Sun Zhi, causing him to have a heart attack, and deliberately put the blame on Ye Jingchuan, but insisted that he did not know the other three deceased people."
Lin Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and his tone showed obvious hesitation.
"He put the blame on Ye Jingchuan? Why?"
"I'm jealous of Ye Jingchuan's talent and want to replace him."
Lin Sheng immediately expressed his disbelief and handed the card to Xu Guannan, saying seriously,
"I don't think the murderer is Guo Da. Based on my observation, Guo Da has always admired and respected Ye Jingchuan. It is impossible for him to put the blame on Ye Jingchuan. Guo Da has been paying attention to Ye Jingchuan for a long time. There is no doubt about this."
Wen Yao came forward curiously, his eyes fell on the card, and he licked it.
"Could it be that Guo Da's love for Ye Jingchuan turned into hatred, and he felt that he could not reach Ye Jingchuan's level, so he began to envy him. He himself admitted that he was jealous of Ye Jingchuan's talent and wanted to replace him."
Lin Sheng carefully recalled the state between the two of them, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.
"Or maybe Guo Da is covering up something for Ye Jingchuan. Isn't that possible?"
Wen Yao's lips curled slightly, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but patted Lin Sheng's shoulder.
"Sister Lin, this is even more impossible. Guo Da is still young, and now he is Ye Jingchuan's only apprentice. His future is so bright that it's hard to open your eyes. How could he take the blame for Ye Jingchuan? Stop joking."
Lin Sheng looked at him calmly, with a sincere look in his eyes, and he was not joking at all.
The smile on Wen Yao's face froze instantly. He put on a serious face and said awkwardly,
"You really think so? Okay."
The three of them came to Ye Jingchuan's desk. As usual, Lin Sheng opened the documents and books on the desk. Ye Jingchuan's signature was clearly written on them, and without exception, it was written with his right hand.
Wen Yao took the card and carefully compared it with Ye Jingchuan's handwriting.
"Ye Jingchuan is obviously not left-handed, so how could he be the murderer? I think the most urgent thing is to find evidence that Guo Da committed the crime, so that he won't deny it."
Faced with this, Lin Sheng was still puzzled and expressed his doubts.
"But how could it be such a coincidence? Guo Da's features are almost identical to the murderer's. At this point, the murderer should have concealed his identity and not been so foolish as to drug and kill Sun Zhi. This modus operandi is completely different from the previous three cases, and it directly exposes him. Do you think, based on the murderer's previous meticulousness, that the murderer is Guo Da?"
The words didn't make sense, but Wen Yao had his own explanation.
"Guo Da said that his original intention was not to kill Sun Zhi, but to scare him. However, he didn't know that Sun Zhi had a heart disease beforehand, which led to the fourth case. Perhaps Guo Da was too angry to think about it?"
"Sun Zhi's file shows that he led a bullying incident in middle school. The target of the bullying was a girl named Guo. However, the girl later died in an accident. The girl's family sued the Sun family, but the court ruled that because Sun Zhi was under 14, the case was only settled with 250,000 yuan in compensation."
"So you suspect that the feud between Guo Da and Sun Zhi is purely personal and has nothing to do with the other three cases?"
Xu Guannan guessed Lin Sheng’s inner thoughts and said it on the spot.
Lin Sheng nodded and continued to add,
"Don't you think Sun Zhi's death is too coincidental? You just investigated Boyuan Hospital when Sun Zhi died. Once he died, Guo Da would definitely be implicated, and Guo Da just happened to meet all the characteristics of the murderer."
"This is the murderer's plan."
Xu Guannan understood Lin Sheng's implication and immediately responded.
In order to verify Lin Sheng's guess, the three of them retrieved Sun Zhi's medical surveillance again and watched it repeatedly.
"Stop! Right here. Look, when Guo Da first handed something to Ye Jingchuan, he stood on Ye Jingchuan's left side. After Ye Jingchuan took it with his right hand, Guo Da moved to his right side. He never changed his position again."
The three of them watched it over and over again no less than ten times. Until the eleventh time, Lin Sheng suddenly called a pause and pointed at the screen to analyze Guo Da's movements.
Wen Yao took the initiative to move closer, but he didn't see the problem.
"What if he just didn't get into the state at the beginning, and Guo Da reacted later and adjusted his position immediately."
Xu Guannan echoed Lin Sheng,
"There's no such possibility as you said. As a candidate physician who is about to take office, he should have the most basic rigorous attitude. Besides, Guo Da has been with Ye Jingchuan for so long, it's impossible that he is not aware of Ye Jingchuan's habits."
Wen Yao seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and suddenly he understood.
"That is to say, Ye Jingchuan is actually left-handed! But Sun Zhi's death did not bring him any benefits, and he was stabbed in vain."
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, folded his hands in front of his chest, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and snorted coldly,
"That's the only way to completely remove himself."
A flash of inspiration flashed through Wen Yao's mind, and he suddenly screamed.
"It's over! Sister Lin, you still want to be his bodyguard now, isn't this pushing you into the fire pit! Could it be that he directed and acted out this killer drama to trick you? I'm going to tell the director right now that Ye Jingchuan is the murderer and ask him to withdraw you."
Lin Sheng immediately called him, a dark look flashing in his eyes.
"The director won't believe you. We have to produce evidence. Ye Jingchuan doesn't dare to attack me yet, so don't worry."
Xu Guannan's eyes were slightly cold. Seeing Lin Sheng was about to leave, he grabbed her and said in a low voice,
"You can't just go back like this. He'll do something to you sooner or later."
Lin Sheng tried to break free from Xu Guannan's hand, but was held tighter. In desperation, he took out a yellow talisman and handed it to him.
"Look at this talisman. If it turns dark red, it means I'm in trouble. Can you please lead a team to rescue me immediately?"
Xu Guannan then let go of his hand and took the yellow talisman, but still worriedly instructed,
"Starting tonight, I will be guarding Ye Jingchuan's apartment building with my men. If anything happens, you must come out immediately. Safety comes first."
Lin Sheng waved at him and walked towards the outer door.
Walking into the community, Lin Sheng happened to meet Sister Peng who was coming back from buying groceries downstairs. She put the recorder she had set up in advance into her pocket and took the initiative to help carry the basket of vegetables.
"Sister Peng, you bought so many delicious dishes today. Let me help you carry them up."
"No, no, I can do it alone."
Lin Sheng took the basket directly. Before she could speak, Sister Peng started chatting.
"Doctor Ye is injured and needs to eat something good to replenish his body. I plan to make him some chicken soup, fry up a steak that he likes, and stir-fry two other dishes. Hey, Miss Lin hasn't eaten yet, right? It's a good idea for us to eat together. It will be more lively when we have more people."
Lin Sheng nodded without hesitation and continued with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Peng. Today, it's all thanks to Sister Peng for taking care of Professor Ye. I had something urgent to do, so I rushed over right after I finished."
"It's no trouble, no trouble. Doctor Ye has helped me so much, so I should do something occasionally. By the way, how is your relative's child doing?"
Lin Sheng sighed and spoke helplessly.
"Oh, don't mention it. It's so hard to manage him. He doesn't do his homework properly, and he's left-handed. He always writes backwards, so his handwriting is crooked. And you can't hit or scold him. His parents picked him up this afternoon. But I heard that left-handed people are very smart. Sister Peng, what do you think?"
After saying that, Lin Sheng stared at Sister Peng sincerely, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.
"I don't know either, but seeing how smart Dr. Ye is, it's probably true."
Lin Sheng's eyes flashed a little, and he said in a surprised tone,
"Is Doctor Ye also left-handed? He usually writes with his right hand, so you can't tell at all."
