Chapter 238 Wu Fu 75 Tragedy

The top office of the City Police Department.

Xing Conglian's immediate boss, Director Wu Lao and Director Dong stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The old man who was about to retire held a teacup with no heat in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and turned a deaf ear to the noise downstairs, as if he was about to fall asleep.

The entrance of the city bureau has long been surrounded by reporters, and every movement of the police officers entering and leaving the operation has been recorded by the camera.

Dong Hua looked down, and his previous question did not get any response, so he had no choice but to raise his voice: "Teacher, don't be sloppy."

Yes, everyone knows that he came from the provincial capital to represent the highest opinion, but in fact, among the people present, he still had to listen to one person's opinion.

One day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father, which is probably what it means.

"I closed my eyes and didn't punch them."

The old man standing beside him half-opened his eyes, held the cup, and took a symbolic sip.

"I was going to detain someone just now, why didn't you let me do it."

Dong Hua stood with his hands behind his back, lowered his head and asked. It is obviously very uncomfortable to let the president of Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical show his prestige in front of him before leaving.

Old Director Wu shook his head: "After so many years, you still like to compete."

"Since Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical is an accident company, and their responsible person came to the police station to surrender, isn't it reasonable for us to control the responsible person?"

"It's the right thing to do, but it doesn't mean it should." Half of Mr. Wu's head was bald without a single hair, so it was a bit dazzling in the sun.

"I don't know."

"The person in charge of the company took the initiative to come to you to admit the problem, didn't he just wait for you to do so? On the one hand, he is the person responsible for the accident, but on the other hand, he is also the enthusiastic people and victim companies who came to provide clues to solve the case. The police detained on the spot, I'm afraid it's not pretty."

Dong Hua frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Hurry up. It's time for the drug supervisor to arrive, right? Since Zhou Rui's people like to make news, then we can make a big one." Wu Tianming raised his eyes and looked at the other party: "But Before that, let’s make room for our grassroots criminal police.”

...

Inside the jeep cab.

The car radio is still broadcasting news one after another, and now the main line of news has become sporadic follow-up broadcasts, expert analysis of drugs and family coping strategies.

Xing Conglian listened to these messages, but all he thought was how to complete the control of the nursing home under the premise of ensuring the safety of everyone.

It is very likely that Shen Lian has been frightened and escaped, and of course he may choose to stay there.

If she leaves, which main roads should the local police guard, or where should the focus be on the key?

Finally, he turned down the radio volume and called the police officer of Hongshu Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Huihe Sanatorium.

...

The Laobian Dumpling Restaurant in Hongshu Town, where Huihe Nursing Home is located, is about 25 kilometers away. According to the instructions of the navigation software, it takes 30 minutes to drive.

However, the grand scene is not very big, and it is not a rush hour, so there is no obstruction along the way.

The advantage of having an old police officer beside him is that he knows all the roads in the city, including towns, so he can quickly find the best driving route.

Laobian stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with a serious face, his eyes were firm, and his face had the unique lines of the criminal police who have been exposed to the sun and the sun over the years.

Lin Chen glanced at the old police officer who was driving, and he knew very well that the commotion in the store just now and the follow-up news must have made the old side have something to ask, but he held back because of his stubborn personality.

The green light in front turned red, the old police officer slammed on the foot brake hard, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and then reached out and fumbled on the dashboard, as if looking for a lighter, Lin Chen handed it over with the lighter in his pocket.

"You don't smoke, right?" The old man turned his head and asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and only said, "It's for others."

Laobian lit the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and said after making up his mind, "Shen Lian didn't lie at the time, did he?"

Lao Bian's arm was shaking a little, but his hand holding the steering wheel was very steady, Lin Chen listened to the other side quietly: "After chatting with you, I have been thinking about the girl back then, if I had been more patient with her then , won't anything after this happen?"

Lin Chen thought for a while, looked at the road ahead, and replied, "There are some things that we won't know until the arrest of Shen Lian is completed, but there is one thing I am sure of, and speaking of it, this is probably the same thing. This is where I feel the most lately."

"What kind of thing?"

"I suddenly discovered that in this world, kind-hearted people always like to rush to take responsibility, but those who are selfish, like to shirk these things. If they can get away without a little damage, then better."

Lin Chen didn't know if what he said could comfort the old policeman beside him who was being condemned by his conscience. He only knew that this might not be a relief, but something that was happening all the time.

...

When Li Nuo received Xing Conglian's call, he was nervous and excited.

He is a police officer in the suburbs of Hongjing. He usually deals with trivial matters such as stealing chickens and dogs in the surrounding countryside.

When he was first transferred here, he was full of passion and wanted to do something. But in less than half a year, he had already recognized the facts in front of him. Unless he is transferred elsewhere, he will not be able to make any merits or be commended in this lifetime.

What happened to Hongjing not long ago also spread to him, and he was a little worried about his grandfather at home. Grandpa's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions have always been poor, and it seems that the medicine he takes is Zhou Rui. According to the news, it's very possible that Grandpa's side... Li Nuo didn't dare to think about it any longer.

As a result, Xing Conglian called.

Li Nuo knew who Xing Conglian was.

The captain of the city's criminal police team, he has solved several major cases in a row in recent years. In each case, Li Nuo tried to find information as much as possible. He studied it carefully, and the more he looked, the more he admired it.

Then, the idol-like character told him that the wanted suspect, Shen Lian, might be in his jurisdiction. At that moment, Li Nuo felt a little unreal as if he had been hit by a meteor. You must know that this probability is definitely higher than that of Form 5. Million dollar lottery tickets are much lower.

Li Nuo hung up the phone and looked at the farmland outside the window, at the old dog basking in the sun on the ridge, and further away, on the small hill by the lake.

The terrain there is high, the paths are complicated, the base of the mountain is densely populated with residential buildings, and the higher places are the retirement homes with quiet environment. In my impression, the nursing home was very quiet. He had also been there during some fire inspections. It was full of seriously ill elderly people. The dean was a very caring middle-aged woman.

Shen Lian will be there, how is it possible?

The summer afternoon sun was so soft that it covered everything with a golden veil.

Li Nuo shuddered, knowing that all this was not an illusion, but a beautiful scene that actually happened, and because of the beauty, it would inevitably become very fragile.

The young police officer stuffed the phone back into his pocket and recited in his mind what Xing Conglian had just arranged.

He picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, adjusted his police cap, and rushed out.

...

When Xing Cong connected to Huang Ze's phone, he just parked his car in the city bureau parking lot.

Because of the reporter's sake, there was a backlog of vehicles here, and it took him a while to find a parking space. Huang Ze's voice was as cold as ice shards could fall.

"Xing Conglian, you need to report to the Supervision Section of the Municipal Bureau within one hour. There must be no mistake."

Hearing this sentence, Xing Conglian's actions slowed down. He turned off the engine, sat in the quiet car, glanced at the blue and white lights in the parking lot, and said, "Inspector Huang, what's the matter?"

His frivolous voice seemed to anger Huang Ze, Huang Ze's voice raised a little, and he asked, "What mistake did you make, don't you know?"

"Making a mistake?" Xing Conglian repeated these three words playfully, leaned back on the driver's chair, and said, "I really don't know, why don't you tell me, Inspector Huang?"

Huang Ze's obvious inhalation sound came from the microphone, followed by a self-adjusting deep breathing sound: "No matter where you are now or what you do, report to the Municipal Supervision Section immediately. You have been temporarily suspended, and I will be responsible for the next step. Come to inspect you and investigate your behavior."

"Haha." Xing Conglian laughed softly, and said firmly, "It seems that this time it is against me, not Lin Chen. What kind of complaint is Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical suing? "

Huang Ze's voice was even colder: "In an hour, you will remember."

"It won't take an hour." Xing Conglian got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and the loud sound echoed in the parking lot.

"I've already arrived," he said calmly.

...

Lin Chen's fingers tapped on the armrest of the car door.

The car was driving fast, and the scenery outside the window had changed.

The fields are wide, the sky is high and the clouds are clear. Vehicles whizzed past the road in the thick green rice fields, approaching the direction of Hongshu Town. They encountered two police cars coming from Linzhen. This was obviously a reserve force mobilized by Xing Cong Company. .

The three cars were driving back and forth, and neither of them had time to stop and say hello, but the destinations were very consistent.

At the foot of the small hill at the end of the sky, Li Nuo stood beside a low house. He half-squatted down and said hello to the old lady who was sitting in the shade of the tree.

According to Captain Xing's instructions on the phone just now, he should not be close to the nursing home, but only at the far end of the road. But for some reason, Li Nuo had a very bad feeling in his heart, so he put on his casual clothes and arranged for the rest to guard the main road and go up the mountain alone.

"Little Li." The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while before recognizing him, "Old Zhangtou's family quarreled again?"

The old Zhangtou in the old lady's mouth was a very noisy family in the village. Mrs. Zhang had a sturdy nature and would fight with the old man if he disagreed. He came here ten times, and eight times he was called by Zhang's neighbors to persuade him to fight. Small police officers like them deal with such trivial matters on weekdays. Now that they suddenly want to arrest some A-class fugitives, Li Nuo said that he was uneasy. But he still asked in a low voice, "Grandma Wang, have you been sitting here, have you seen any suspicious people coming down from the sanatorium on the mountain?"

"Yeah, I'm here to enjoy the cool when I'm full." The old lady fanned the fan, sat up straight, and was very alert. "What happened, is there a thief?"

Li Nuo shook his head: "It's just that something happened, you can help think about it."

"People in the sanatorium, no, I haven't seen Aunt Chen today." The old lady shook the fan again, and suddenly patted her leg, "When you say this, it seems that the minivan that bought food in the sanatorium just drove by. ."

Li Nuo was alert, turned around, and called a friend from the county traffic bureau, asking him to verify the vehicle and traffic crossing monitoring of the nursing home.

...

When Xing Conglian obtained the photo of Shen Lian driving a van out of the main road in Hongshu Town, Huang Zezheng stood opposite him and said, "Xing Conglian is now the inspectorate for an official interview with you, please turn off all communication equipment". if.

He basically didn't hear the contents clearly, just watched the surveillance photo carefully.

In the photo, Shen Lian is still as calm as an expressionless puppet on the shelf, as if she is going to some pre-arranged date.

The time shows that it happened twenty minutes ago, that is to say, according to the time, almost at the same time as the news appeared, Shen Lian got the news and took action.

Xing Conglian's mood was very complicated for a moment. On the one hand, he once again admired the accuracy of Yu Lin Chen's judgment and positioning, and on the other hand, he was out of anger. If Zhou Rui Pharma hadn't stepped in, they would probably have fallen in love with Shen Lian now. officially met.

And people like him, the more angry, the more calm they are.

Instead of yelling at Huang Ze, he lowered his head and made several arrangements through text messages, and finally sent the number of the police officer in charge to Lin Chen before he had time to raise his head and glance at the Inspector in front of him.

Maybe he didn't control his eyes at that time, or maybe Huang Ze saw the content on his mobile phone photo, in short, the inspector slammed off the table and said angrily: "Xing Conglian, the right to handle the case is no longer in your hands. , what you have to do is to explain the problem clearly!"

Xing Conglian looked around and asked, "Where are the people from Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical?"

"This is not something you are entitled to care about!"

Xing Conglian dragged a chair and sat down across the table: "It's not that I need to explain the situation clearly, I always have to confront him." He sneered, took out his lighter, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Old Wu people Woolen cloth?"

Huang Ze was also delayed for a moment before realizing who he was talking about.

"I want to talk to Old Wu, who's upstairs and downstairs, get me someone."

...

Li Nuo walked down the hill, and Lin Chen's car just arrived.

He had known this metapsychology expert from live TV for a long time, and now when he saw a real person, he always felt like a bland.

Lin Chen also wore a brick red plaid shirt and light-colored slacks. He didn't wear glasses or a scholar-like atmosphere like the usual experts. Except for his very white skin and peaceful eyes, there was nothing that stood out.

But how should put it, when Li Nuo shook hands with Lin Chen, or the strength of Lin Chen's palm, or Lin Chen's calm tone that could eliminate all tension, Li Nuo only felt that this person was very trustworthy.

"Tell me about the situation at the Keihe Nursing Home."

Lin Chen didn't chat with him any more, but said simply.

The police officers who came to the town to help also got out of the car before and after, but because the surveillance showed that Shen Lian had left the nursing home, most of the police were transferred to the main road for control, and the most basic team of 10 people arrived.

Among them, the highest-ranked police officer also has a third-level superintendent at the level of section chief, but in front of Lin Chen, no one interrupted or gave any messy orders.

Li Nuo briefly described the situation of Huihe Nursing Home, but Lin Chen did not answer immediately.

At this time, someone said: "Since there is evidence that Shen Lian left the nursing home above, it is still necessary to conduct a basic search."

"But the notice didn't say that the woman was carrying a highly toxic drug. Will there be traps on it?" another said.

"It's a female fugitive, and everyone has left. Our police officers are timid at the foot of the mountain. What does it look like?"

Li Nuo swallowed and looked at Lin Chen.

At this time, the psychological consultant said: "Did some villagers say that they haven't seen anyone from the sanatorium come down the mountain today?"

"Yes, but it's only what Mrs. Wang said alone." Li Nuo added cautiously.

Lin Chen's expression froze obviously, but he quickly raised his eyes and said to him, "Do you have a phone number for the nursing home? Make a call."

Like the simplest test or anything else, Li Nuo took out his mobile phone and felt that the things at hand were as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.

He dug out the number from the phone book, raised his head, Lin Chen's resolute gaze just swept over, he took a deep breath, and pressed the call button.

Everything was quiet around.

The wind from the field blew past his side, but Li Nuo couldn't feel it. His heart was beating fast, and his nervous hands were shaking.

The first beep sounded, and he felt his heart beating out of his throat.

beep……

The second long electronic sound came slowly.

This shows that the phone of the nursing home can still be connected, and the line has not been unplugged. Li Nuo doesn't know that he will worry about this. Maybe he is also afraid of something in his heart.

He clenched his fists and kept praying that someone would pick up the phone, even if it was a simple "hello".

Time passed by every minute and second, and it was obvious that the phone waiting tone would not exceed one minute, but in Li Nuo's heart, it seemed as long as a century had passed.

However, until the call was automatically hung up by the telecommunications bureau, he did not wait for the simple "hello".

Li Nuo raised his head subconsciously, only to feel that the golden gauze covering the top of the nursing home had turned black when the sun fell, covering everyone's heart like a shadow.

"Up the mountain."

Lin Chen lowered his eyes, but said this to them in a very firm tone.

...

For a long time after this incident, Lin Chen's memory was not very clear.

Although he was sure that he had walked up the hill, he had an intuitive notion of the shape of the houses on both sides, the appearance of the woods, and even the appearance of hens pacing in the fields or the color of the vegetable fields halfway up the mountain. It's very clear, but how they came to the nursing home, and the details of what they experienced in the process, he didn't have much correct logical sequence in his mind.

But at the time, he was still quite sure that when he was less than 100 meters away from the sanatorium, he felt some abnormal breath faintly coming from the wind.

Just now at the foot of the mountain, the experienced old police officers had arranged for some people to flank from the rear in a detour, and some officers to detour from the houses. Only he and another policeman named Li Nuo walked freely. On the concrete road that leads directly to the gate of the nursing home.

When he smelled that smell, he and Li Nuo looked at each other, increased their pace, and rushed towards the iron gate of the nursing home.

When they could almost clearly see the concierge, they were quite sure that there was no one in the concierge.

In the empty seats, there was an old beige telephone on the table, a visitor registration form hung on the corner of the wall, and other things were crooked.

Lin Chen raised his head, and the surveillance camera on the corner of the doorman was just turning towards him. He looked at the dark camera lens, as if he had seen the devil's vertical pupil, and felt chills all over his body.

Without wasting any time looking for someone or waiting for back strength, the policeman beside him was very quick to climb over the iron moving fence, rushed to the doorman and pressed the door button.

The electric iron gate was moved away little by little, and the panoramic view of the nursing home really appeared little by little.

Lin Chen looked at the gray building in front of him, took a deep breath, and the smell in the air became more intense.

The young police officer named Li Nuo's face was completely white, and it is impossible for any normal human to distinguish this smell.

There were other police officers' calls from their walkie-talkies, creaking, but at that moment, neither he nor Li Nuo had any strength to press the answer button.

The young village policeman was the first to react. Li Nuo didn't say a word, clenched his fists, turned and rushed towards the main building of the nursing home.

Lin Chen looked at the young man's back, took heavy steps, and followed.

The old wooden door is open and the corridor is long.

One side of the corridor was as black as a shadow and ghostly, while the other side was stained by sunlight to an unreal white.

Lin Chen stepped on the white and translucent tiles step by step and walked deeper into the corridor.

Beside him are standard ward doors, each of which is habitually closed by someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like a closed coffin lid, and people don't even have the courage to touch it.

The smell was getting stronger and stronger from the gaps above and below each door, lingering around him.

The smell was so strong that it penetrated from every pore of him and permeated every corner of this space. It was as if a soft rope was strangling someone's neck and suffocating, but he knew very well that this feeling was not suffocation, but despair.

Yeah, that's the smell of blood.

Lin Chen took another deep breath, the whole figure seemed to be soaked in viscous blood plasma, and the surroundings were wet and sticky. He could only barely put his hand on the doorknob to gain the strength to stand.

Across a thin door, countless images flashed through his mind, each of which was a simple black line that appeared on a thick plasma background, twisting and twisting, and then reorganized after being broken up, and then became even more distorted and weird..

In the end, he was woken up by a loud cry from an unknown room.

The cry was heart-wrenching, with the power of sincere grief.

Lin Chen calmed down and looked out the window blankly. He saw the old face of Laobian, and other police officers rushed into the nursing home together.

Someone was desperately gesturing at him, but he couldn't recognize who the other party was, so he could only nod at the other party.

After doing this simple action, he turned around, pushed open the door, and walked in.
