Lin Dongxue was slightly surprised and asked, "What about the time of death?"

A forensic officer replied, "The liver temperature was measured and it's estimated that she died at around 4:00 last night . "

Lin Dongxue said, "Four? She was with Dr . Gao at that time . The doctor is definitely suspicious . Should I go find him again?"

"Don't be so anxious . Let the bullet fly for a while[1] . . . Ah yes, let's go see her workstation . "

When they got to the deceased's workstation, Lin Dongxue opened the drawer and found a box of foundation and pink lipstick . Lin Dongxue asked the workers, "Did the deceased have a habit of wearing make-up?"

"Yes, but it's quite new . "

"Women usually doll themselves up for the person they like . She must have done it for that doctor . . . There must be something wrong with the doctor!"

Chen s.h.i.+ smiled . "You suspect that they have an unclear relations.h.i.+p? Do you get upset as soon as you see sc.u.mmy men[2]?"

Lin Dongxue argued, "I am just trying to investigate the case! Who cares about those sc.u.mmy men? What do you think of this case?"

"The hospital has a large flow of traffic . There are patients, family members, and medical personnel . Since the case is in the ice-breaking stage, don't rush to set your sights on individuals . Learn more about the situation first . "

"Fine, I'll listen to you!"

"You should continue to investigate the doctor . I will see if there are witnesses on the patient side of things… I have a piece of advice about this case . "

"Say it . "

"A person who kills another person bears great risk . Unless the murderer's motivation is equal to this risk, there will be no murder . I want to remind you not to be blindfolded by the trivial interpersonal disputes in the hospital . Always keep in mind whether the person you suspect has this huge motive or not . If not, you can basically rule them out from the list of suspects . "

The two went to the nurse station and Chen s.h.i.+ asked, "Head nurse, I want to know the situation regarding the patients on these floors . "

The head nurse nodded . "The files are in the office . I'll bring them out . "

Chen s.h.i.+ and the head nurse walked away . Lin Dongxue found the friend of the deceased and asked, "About Dr . Gao…Actually, I still want to know more about their situation . . . "

Chen s.h.i.+ looked through the patient information in the office . When he got to one of them, he stopped and asked, "Did this person die last night?"

The head nurse responded . "They died on the operating table . It's an ordinary medical accident . ”

Chen s.h.i.+ nodded and continued to look through the files . He found that four patients pa.s.sed away last night . They were all patients that were getting old . The head nurse explained them one by one . Chen s.h.i.+ thought that this was only the hospital's statement . Would there be any hidden secrets? He needed to go to the wards to investigate .

When he went to a ward, a family was gathered outside and crying so much they looked like they were going to die of despair . Although he didn't want to interrupt them in this moment of mourning, he still needed to investigate the case . He showed them his certificate and said, "Police . I want to see the body . "

The family members were very cooperative . Chen s.h.i.+ put on rubber gloves, checked the eyes of the old man who pa.s.sed away, and checked the corpse for livor mortis . The time of death should be around 2:00 last night . The record showed myocardial infarction caused by postoperative complications . This can't be seen by the naked eye, but the body didn't show any signs of doubt .

After thanking the family, Chen s.h.i.+ rushed to the next ward . The head nurse behind him asked, "Officer, officer, why would you investigate this?"

Chen s.h.i.+ had his own reasons . The patients who died before and after the incident would be sent to the funeral parlor very quickly . If he wanted to investigate them afterwards, he wouldn't be able to . They can investigate the living at any time, so he put his priority to the corpses first .

Chen s.h.i.+ didn't directly explain it and simply said, "Nothing much . Doubting everything is part of our job . "

There were no problems with the second body either . When Chen s.h.i.+ went to the third ward, he saw a familiar face . The middle-aged man wore a black gauze around his neck, like a patient's family . He saw Chen s.h.i.+ and said in surprise, “Officer Chen, why are you here?"

"Boss Xue?"

"Haha, you still remember me!"

This person was the kind-hearted citizen who sent Tao Yueyue to the city bureau last time - Xue Chengyi .

Xue Chengyi pulled a middle-aged woman over and said, "This is my wife . This is Officer Chen . "

Sure enough, the young woman who was with him last time was not his wife . Chen s.h.i.+ said, "Boss Xue helped my daughter out last time and I still haven't thanked him properly . ”

The woman had a big smile plastered on her face . "Don't mention it! He's always been a kind and pa.s.sionate person like that . "

Xue Chengyi handed over a cigarette and said, "My father died last night so my relatives have come over . Why is Officer Chen here?”

"Investigating a case!" Chen s.h.i.+ refused the cigarette . "I wish to see your father's body . "

"Is this related to the case?"

His wife said, "My father-in-law's respiratory system was blocked by some phlegm, so he unfortunately pa.s.sed last night . Maybe you should forgo checking his body in case of viruses!”

Chen s.h.i.+ responded, "Condolences to you both . This is just part of the process, so I'm hoping you both would cooperate . I am not a forensic doctor, just an ordinary policeman . ” I'm actually not even a policeman .  

The husband and wife exchanged glances before Xue Chengyi said, "Okay then!"

When Chen s.h.i.+ got to the body of the old man and checked his eyes, he immediately found it suspicious . He had obvious signs of bleeding in his eyes . He looked back at Xue Chengyi and Xue Chengyi's anxious face immediately forced a smile .

Chen s.h.i.+ asked, "What time did he pa.s.s?"

"The hospital said it was around four or five . We received the news early in the morning and rushed over . "

"n.o.body accompanied the old man here?"

"No, we take turns taking care of him . My wife was here last night . However, she couldn't help but have some sleep in the hallway . Who knew…?” Xue Chengyi's eyes became red .

"Condolences!"

When they got outside, Chen s.h.i.+ said, "I haven't thanked you for last time . Would you like to have a meal with me at noon?”

Xue Chengyi responded, "I am so sorry . I'm afraid I can't find time today . "

"Ah of course . I really don't know my timing . Let's exchange contact information . "

"Okay . "

After exchanging their phone numbers and WeChat, Chen s.h.i.+ asked, "Your child is also attending Zhixin Middle School?"

"No, my son is going to college out of town . . . " Xue Chengyi lowered his voice . "But my little three's[3] child goes to school there . Don't tell my wife, officer . You know how it is when you're middle-aged!”

"Understood . I won't bother you then . ”

"Okay, we'll find time to eat one day . "

Chen s.h.i.+ turned around and the smile disappeared from his face immediately . He said to the head nurse, "Please help me out a little . "

Chen s.h.i.+ sat downstairs and smoked . Lin Dongxue asked him where he was and ran over . "From all the gossip in the hospital, I feel like I can make a TV series out of it . "

"Is there a suspect?"

"Yes, Dr . Gao! According to his colleague's testimonies, he should be the last one to see the deceased . But, he himself isn't clear in his testimony and seems suspicious . "

"What is his motivation?"

"Dr . Gao will act as the evaluation a.s.sociate professor at the end of the year . If he develops any scandals, then his job prospects would be ruined . What do you think about that as a motive?"

"Why would he kill her?"

“There were nurses who said that Dr . Gao has played with several girls at the same time . I think it should be a scandal in that area!”

Chen s.h.i.+ considered it . "The patients who died here wouldn't be touched by a coroner for forensic tests unless a family filed a lawsuit . There must be a lot of murder cases hidden in places we can't see . ”

"You mean when family members don't want to bear huge medical expenses? Is this related to this case?"

"I don't know . I will only know it when I check it out . . . Thank you!" Chen s.h.i.+ got up and took a plastic bag from the head nurse who came over with things stuffed inside .

"What is this?"

"A pillow!"

1 . Famous quote in a famous movie that was used to indicate that the story is just beginning .

2 . I wrote sc.u.mmy men here, but lately the social culture dictates that any guy who doesn't 100% do what women say and ask are considered “sc.u.m” . So in this instance, how “bad” the guys he are referring to is unclear .

3 . Little three is a term for the woman who's the third person in their relations.h.i.+p . The affair .
