Chapter 207 Split-Brain Case: The Dead Murderer

No suspicious traces were found at the scene of Yuan Yuan's body dumping. No witnesses were found after visiting nearby towns.

There were no surveillance cameras installed on the roads near the wasteland, so there was no way to find clues by checking the surveillance.

Fang Rui believed that since the murderer could trick Yuan Yuan out of the rescue center, the murderer must know Yuan Yuan. And the murderer was likely a doctor, so they planned to start with Yuan Yuan's medical records.

Fang Rui went to the prison to see Li Min who was imprisoned. She used to be a staff member of Xingxing Home and knew Yuan Yuan very well.

Seeing Fang Rui, Li Min felt a little uneasy, "Officer Fang, what happened?"

"Yuanyuan passed away."

Li Min covered her face and sobbed softly. In fact, she had a premonition that Yuanyuan might not live long.

Fang Rui asked: "Has Yuanyuan ever been to the hospital for treatment? Does he have any familiar doctors?"

"About a year ago, Yuanyuan had meningitis, and we sent him to the hospital for treatment for half a month. The hospital seemed to be called Jiangzhou University Second Affiliated Hospital. Yuanyuan had a good relationship with one of the nurses. But Yuanyuan doesn't like doctors, and he is very resistant to most strangers."

"What was the nurse's name?"

"It seems to be Chen Shu, or it may be Lin Shu, I can't remember clearly. At that time, Dean Zhang was in the hospital with him, and I only stayed there for two days."

"Who was Yuanyuan's attending physician?"

"It was a doctor named Chen, and he seemed to be the director of their hospital. I don't remember his name, I just remember that the nurses called him Director Chen."

Fang Rui suddenly figured out why Xiao Zhang said he knew who the murderer was. Could the murderer be Director Chen?

Some time ago, Xiao Zhang told him that he was going to help Chen Xue reconcile with her father. He also went to Director Chen's house to find him. Could it be that Xiao Zhang found something unusual at that time, and when he saw the hospital again, he recalled some clues and called him to tell him?

Fang Rui and Xiao Wang went to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiangzhou University to find Director Chen.

The nurse at the front desk said, "Didn't I tell you last time that Director Chen went out of town to attend an academic conference, and he hasn't come back yet."

"It's been so long, and his conference hasn't finished yet?"

"Then I don't know. Director Chen asked for a two-month leave, and he said he was going to attend an important academic conference. We can't ask him what he did specifically."

"Has he not come back during the leave?"

"No, he hasn't come to work at all."

Fang Rui asked someone to check Director Chen's travel records based on his ID number. The query results showed that two months ago, Director Chen flew to Zhengcheng by plane, and there was no travel record of him afterwards.

Zhengcheng is not particularly far from Jiangzhou, but if he drives back, it will take at least 18 hours. It is not ruled out that Director Chen secretly drove home or took a taxi back.

At this time, Fang Rui received a call.

Lao Zhang said, "Captain Fang, didn't you ask us to check the sales records of that car before? We found a suspicious person. Someone bought this car in a car shop in the countryside of Linshi. He brought a bag of cash to buy it, and he chose the car very quickly without asking about the configuration of the car. We think this person is a bit suspicious."

The police checked all the car shops in Jiangzhou City and conducted a carpet investigation on the purchase records of the same white car as Dean Liu, but no suspicious person was found; Fang Rui asked people to expand the scope of the investigation, and also investigated the car shops in the surrounding cities, and even investigated the online sales channels and the second-hand car sales market.

After several days of investigation, the clues were finally found.

Fang Rui asked: "Does the store owner know the identity information of the buyer?"

"I don't know. The store owner said that the man didn't say much when he bought the car, and didn't reveal any identity information. But the store owner judged from the accent that he was not a local and looked like a cultured person."

"Are there surveillance cameras installed in the store?"

"There are surveillance cameras. But it has been so long that the surveillance video has been overwritten and has not been saved."

Fang Rui asked again: "Does the store owner remember his appearance?"

"Team Fang, wait a moment, I'll ask him." Lao Zhang said something to the store owner on the phone, and then said to Fang Rui, "The store owner said he remembers and he has a deep impression of that person."

"I'll send you a photo, you ask him if it's this person?"

"Okay."

Fang Rui sent Director Chen's photo to Lao Zhang, who quickly replied, "Boss, the owner said this is the guy. He was very impressed with this guy because few people would bring a big bag of cash to buy a car."

The problem now is to find Director Chen's hiding place.

Fang Rui applied for a search warrant and planned to search Director Chen's home first to see if there were any clues.

Director Chen lives in an old neighborhood near Dongjiang Yujing. He lives on the fifth floor.

When they arrived at Director Chen's door, Fang Rui and the others found something wrong. There was no dust on the door handle. Logically, if Director Chen hadn't been home for two months, the door handle would definitely be covered with dust.

They rang the doorbell, but after a long time, there was no movement inside.

"We can only pry the door open."

They pried open the lock, and as soon as the door was pushed open, they smelled a strong smell of blood. They walked into the house, and after only a few steps, they saw blood on the floor, and a middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood.

"The deceased is Director Chen," Xiao Wang was surprised, "How did he die?"

Xiao Wang turned his head and saw a bloody female corpse lying on the sofa, and she was holding a bloody sharp knife in her hand.

Fang Rui put on gloves and lifted the hair on the female victim's face, revealing a familiar face in front of them.

Everyone found it unbelievable, "Why is Chen Xue here? Did Director Chen kill Chen Xue, but why did Director Chen die again?"

"Could it be that Chen Xue knew who the murderer was before us, and she killed Director Chen to avenge Xiao Zhang?"

Fang Rui said, "I told her last night that the mastermind behind the injury to Xiao Zhang has been caught."

"Then what's going on?"

Mu Mian received the notice and quickly rushed to the scene.

Fang Rui comforted Mu Mian, "Mu Mian, Chen Xue..."

Mu Mian was stunned, she blinked, the scene in front of her remained unchanged, Chen Xue was covered in blood, she was lying quietly on the sofa, as if she was asleep.

She remembered what Chen Xue promised her last night. Chen Xue said that she would have a good rest today.

"You guys talk quietly, Chen Xue is asleep, she is very tired, she needs to rest." Mu Mian saw a blanket on the sofa, she picked up the blanket and wanted to cover Chen Xue.

Fang Rui held her hand and told her softly, "Mu Mian, Chen Xue is dead."

Mu Mian couldn't help crying, "Why did she die? She just told me yesterday that I was her best friend... I have so few friends, why did she die?"

Fang Rui hugged her tightly.

"Fang Rui, I should have understood what Chen Xue said. She didn't want to rest, she knew she would die." Mu Mian said self-reproachfully, "Why didn't I stop her in advance?"

Others were also very sad. Chen Xue was their colleague, but now she died tragically. Everyone felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wang said, "Mu Mian, we can't be controlled by our emotions. We have to investigate thoroughly and catch the murderer who killed Chen Xue. You don't want Chen Xue to die in vain, right?"
