Chapter 1852 Nine Patients
"Tell me again how you got to the building."
Li Xiangdong asked with a gloomy face, his eyes swept over the group of people and stayed on a few women for a while.
He is not a Tathagata Buddha, and he also understands the fireworks of the world, and several women are good-looking, especially Liu Xia, whose pair of heavenly long legs are daunting. Can you make a fortune by taking photos and selling them, right?
After coughing lightly, Li Xiangdong retracted his distracted attention and his eyes fell on Qin An. He could see that the real leader of this group of people was Qin An.
Qin An repeated what he said yesterday, and Li Xiangdong snorted coldly:
"I really ignored this question yesterday. Even if you have diving equipment, a group of people without any training can actually dive for such a long time and distance? And there are zombies everywhere outside. How did you get out of the water covered with zombies? ?”
"I am an expert diver, so it will be much easier for everyone if I guide you. As for why we were able to climb up, it may be because of good luck."
Qin An's tone was relaxed, and he didn't have any awareness of being interrogated.
lucky? Li Xiangdong's nose almost became crooked.
At this time, soldiers came to report that all floors had been sealed and all personnel were under control. No clues had been found so far.
Li Xiangdong listened to the soldiers' reports and became even more suspicious of people like Qin An.
Qin An saw Li Xiangdong's doubts and shook his head helplessly, and then said: "When I came up, I heard that several murders had occurred. Captain Li, I think you are angry because this happened just after we arrived. Do we have suspicions? This is normal, but we are really not the murderers, and let me tell you a secret, I am still a master at solving crimes. If you can trust me for a while, maybe I can find the real murderer. "
Qin An's words shocked Liu Xia, Xu Rantian and others around him.
They couldn't even figure out what was going on, and now Qin An actually said he could help them solve the case? This man is so mysterious and unusual that people can’t see through him.
Li Xiangdong was naturally shocked when he heard Qin An's words.
"Can you find the murderer?"
"Well, the murderer's methods are not clever. I think Captain Li may have been confused and couldn't find his direction just because the incident happened suddenly. How about you let me survey the scene with you and find some clues?" "
"Okay, let's take a look here first. The case of the murder of Vice Dean Guo Shishi. When my soldiers heard the shouts and rushed there, they found two living people, Liu Aina and Li Guanghua, and Guo Shishi's dead body in the room. , It is currently judged that Vice President Guo Xianzi died of poisoning from eating steamed buns, and the poison may be cyanide, potassium or something like that. Please tell me what you think of the situation here."
Li Xiangdong had a look of contempt on his face, obviously not thinking that this man was really capable.
Qin An walked around the room and looked at a bag of steamed buns and a few side dishes placed on the table. After looking at them for a while, he turned to look at Liu Aina and Li Guanghua.
"You didn't eat the steamed buns?"
"No, although I was hungry, what I ate in the morning was too dry and uncomfortable, so I just ate some side dishes." Liu Aina was still wrapped in a quilt, looking very embarrassed and blushing.
"I didn't eat either. I was a little shy in front of Dean Guo, so I only took two bites of the side dishes."
"Well, so you judge that the steamed buns are poisonous because Dean Guo died from eating the steamed buns. Did he eat the side dishes?"
Li Xiangdong interrupted: "Hey, they both ate the side dishes and are fine. Does it matter whether Dean Guo ate the side dishes or not?"
"Of course, there are four kinds of side dishes in it, pickled mustard, dried radish, shredded kelp, and salty chili peppers. I want to know what kind of side dishes Dean Guo ate and which one the two of them ate."
When Li Xiangdong heard what Qin An said, he frowned and thought for a moment. He stopped talking and turned his attention to the other two people.
"I ate some kelp shreds and nothing else." Liu Aina said with an expression of reminiscence on her face.
"I ate one bite of mustard tuber, just one bite, and nothing else." Li Guanghua said with certainty.
"Okay, so pickled mustard and kelp shreds are innocent. Now it's the steamed buns, dried radish and salted chili that are questionable, right?"
Liu Xia wanted to laugh around Qin An but felt it was inappropriate. This was the first time she heard such a statement. Are pickled mustard and kelp silk innocent? Hehe, this man is actually a little funny, and it will show up inadvertently. He is not as cold as he looks.
Li Xiangdong nodded, and then said: "You are right, but is it necessary to worry about such a small matter?"
"Of course. If the steamed buns are poisonous, then the whole pot of steamed buns must be poisonous. The purpose of the poisoner is to kill many people. If it is not the steamed buns that are poisonous, but one of the four side dishes that is poisonous, then the problem will arise. Now. I really want to know, is this salty chili spicy?"
Li Guanghua was the first to say: "Spicy, very spicy! It is Dean Guo's favorite side dish. He always prepares it whether he is eating at home or in the hospital. This side dish is the specialty of our chef Master Yan , everyone who likes spicy food will like it.”
"Haha, do you and this beauty eat spicy food?"
"I don't like it." They both answered at the same time this time.
Qin An was thoughtful and looked at Li Xiangdong with a slight smile.
Li Xiangdong also had a pensive look on his face, and suddenly there was light in his eyes, and he looked at Qin And and said: "In other words, someone knows that Dean Guo likes spicy food, so in fact, this salty pepper is poisonous, and his target is only Dean Guo Alone! Let me ask you two, did Dean Guo also eat this salty chili pepper? "
Li Guanghua and Liu Aina looked at each other, and then Liu Aina said uncertainly: "It seems that I ate it, took a bite of chili pepper, and then ate the steamed buns, and then I was poisoned."
"Haha, that's right! Brother, what is your name? You are so smart, you have such a delicate mind!"
Liu Xiangdong's attitude towards Qin An suddenly changed, because it was really not easy for Qin An to find clues to the matter in such a period of time. At least Liu Xiangdong's mind was so confused just now that he couldn't figure it out at all.
"Thank you for the compliment. My name is Qin An. So, Captain Li, there seems to be some clues about the matter. The murderer may have been targeting Dean Guo, and he is someone who knows his food and preferences very well!"
"So... the chef surnamed Yan is very suspicious? This person is called Yan Yikuan, he is honest and loyal, doesn't he look like it?"
"It doesn't matter whether he looks like it or not. The company commander just needs to send people to control him first. Since we are solving the case, we have to find evidence. After all, I think there should be many people who have this habit of Dean Guo, so the murderer could be anyone. . Besides, didn’t it mean that several murders occurred at the same time?”
"Yes, one is the suicide of my soldier Zhao Zida, and the other is a more bizarre murder case. Nine patients were lying in the ward and were shot overnight, and all of them were hit in the center of the forehead. The most bizarre thing is, Although the situation was chaotic last night, I arranged soldiers to stand guard on every floor. It was impossible for them not to hear the gunshots. Nine people died in a row. Or maybe the other party used a silencer? But it’s hard to see the bullet holes. picture."
"Captain Li, I think it's pointless for us to speculate here. It's better to go and see the scene."
"Okay, come with me. Don't let anyone move here. We'll deal with it after we come to a conclusion."
Li Xiangdong had expectations for Qin An, and took him, Liu Xia and others downstairs to the room where the nine people died.
Qin An already knew the situation of these nine people, but he still pretended to go forward to check them one by one, then turned to Li Xiangdong and said:
"Captain Li thinks these people died last night?"
"Of course, the nurse does rounds every day. If they died early, the nurse would definitely know."
"Oh, where's the nurse?"
Li Xiangdong listened to Qin An's question and called his subordinates to ask. The soldier said that the nurse was in a coma and has not woken up yet.
Qin An sighed secretly and said to Li Xiangdong: "Let's go see the nurse first, because she is a key person."
Qin An's attitude was a bit unpredictable. Li Xiangdong did not hesitate and took people to visit the nurse.
Qin An reached the bed and curled his lips, stretched out his hand and put it on her nose, and then said: "She is dead."
What! ?
Is this a recurring wave? The nurse died?
"how so?"
Li Xiangdong almost roared and asked the soldiers around him.
"Company Commander, we have been taking care of her. No one has touched her, unless she died by herself." A soldier replied aggrievedly.
"Captain Li, don't get excited, maybe she died on her own."
As Qin An spoke, he took out a small bottle of powder from the nurse's pocket.
"Hydralazine is a moderately strong antihypertensive drug that has strong toxic side effects on the heart, so most patients will not take it for a long time, but will use it in combination with other types of antihypertensive drugs. This woman is so young and should not be taking such drugs. However, she seems to be pregnant, so she is likely to have gestational hypertension. Methyldopa and hydralazine are generally used for gestational hypertension. Let’s lower blood pressure together. Although it has side effects on the heart, lowering blood pressure is also the key. Unstable blood pressure can easily lead to massive bleeding in the childbirth operating room and many other complex situations, which can be life-threatening. So I think this woman was , because long-term use of drugs caused certain damage to the heart, it caused myocardial infarction, and he died after not receiving timely help. This may be an accident, but it is a pity that this incident has caused us some trouble. I think Do you know who besides her is more familiar with the nine patients in the ward over there? Where is their attending physician? "
"The nine patients in this ward don't have an attending physician. Their attending physicians have all died, and some have turned into zombies, so we gathered these patients together and stopped the treatment for the time being. We just asked this nurse to take charge. The daily routine of taking care of them has been too chaotic recently, and no one of us understands these patients." An onlooker outside the room provided information.
"Okay, it doesn't matter anymore. Let's go back to the nine corpses. Since there are no witnesses, the dead are actually the best evidence."
After Qin An said these words, he left first, followed by a large group of people.
Liu Xia really admired Qin An at this time. Isn't this too strong? He can even see a doctor? Moreover, the little nurse was already dead and her belly did not bulge obviously, so he could know that she was pregnant. This was really a magical mess.
There are many people around who think the same as Liu Xia, including Li Xiangdong.
After Qin An took the people back to the previous room, he said bluntly: "Captain Li, these people did not die last night."
"Didn't he die last night? How is that possible? The nurse will check him every day."
"Yes, the nurse will check every day. People died this morning. Logically speaking, it should have happened last night. However, these people really did not die yesterday. They have been dead for at least several days. , it is not difficult to judge, there are so many doctors here, you can all come and check, you can judge from many aspects such as her blood, the degree of cortical shedding, the color of the fundus, the blockage of the nostrils, the softness of the muscles, etc. These nine people didn’t die last night! So there won’t be any gunshots last night.”
"Ah? How could this happen?" Li Dongfeng was a little dizzy.
Dozens of people were already watching outside the door. After hearing what Qin An said, three doctors came in immediately. After a detailed examination of the corpses, they agreed with Qin An's statement. It was estimated that these people had been dead for at least forty-eight hours.
"Perhaps they have been dead for a longer time, but their bodies are well preserved and there is no odor. I think the place where they were before was a place dedicated to parking corpses, maybe the morgue room of the hospital? There should be a backup power supply there, right? That is to say, someone actually switched the nine patients in this ward last night and replaced them with corpses from the morgue. I think the purpose was to create panic."
"Then... why do they have bullet holes in their foreheads?" Li Xiangdong couldn't understand.
"Report to the company commander, I may be able to explain this matter."
A soldier came in through the door.
"Oh? You should tell me."
"Mr. Qin is right. These people may really come from the morgue. On the day when the apocalypse broke out, the morgue became the hardest hit area. Many corpses came back to life. Zhao Zida and I were ordered to clean up the zombies and kill them. A lot of people died, including zombies and dead people. Those dead people were scarier than zombies. We thought they were dead, but suddenly they would jump up and turn into zombies to attack us. We killed so many people that we were competing in marksmanship. , to see who can hit the head with one shot, so...if these nine corpses died at that time, they were probably killed by Zhao Zida and me."
Qin An's eyes lit up and he asked the soldier, "Is Zhao Zida the one who jumped from the building?"
"Well, yes."
"What a coincidence? Then why did he jump off the building? If he is not mentally disturbed, he must be under excessive mental stress. Did you have an accident when you used your gun to shoot zombies in the head during the competition?"
The reason why Qin An asked such a question was because he found that the soldier's eyes were a little panicked when he spoke.
After listening to Qin An's question, the soldier's face suddenly turned pale, and Li Xiangdong also noticed something strange about him.
"If you have something to say, don't be hesitant and secretive. These are not the soldiers I brought out!"
"Zhao Zida...that day, a shot hit a living person. She died after a headshot. We all saw it clearly at the time, and she even asked for help. I put down the gun behind her. Zombie, but Zida couldn't control his aiming posture, and accidentally fired and killed the person..."
"So he has been feeling guilty until he ended his life today. It seems that this is an accident. At least for now, this is the best reason. In any case, let this matter go for now. What I want to say is, It seems that these nine corpses were all transported from the morgue, and the original nine patients were transported away. This is a big move. It should have happened during the chaos last night. There were zombies outside. The nest was formed and everyone's attention was attracted, but the murderer did it secretly. It seems that the chef named Yan Yikuan often comes in and out of the morgue, right? "
"Yes, because there is a lot of food over there and the whole building is out of power. Only a few freezers and the cabinets where the corpses are stored are still usable. The backup power supply is not broken." The soldier replied, Li Xiangdong's eyes were already widening. Gotta be round.
"Hmph, it seems that this chef has a big problem. The death of Vice President Guo and the people here are all implicated in him! Go, call him over, I want... no, let Brother Qin interrogate Interrogation." Li Xiangdong now completely admires Qin An.
It's only been a while now, and things that seemed chaotic suddenly became clear.
Dean Guo was poisoned, the nine corpse case, Zhao Zida's suicide case, and the nurse's sudden death case have almost all been revealed and are about to be revealed. The murderer is probably inextricably linked to Yan Yikuan.
Qin An raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked through the wall at Yan Yikuan. At this time, he had been taken to a separate room by the soldiers to guard him.
Yan Yikuan's expression was very natural, that of nervous and scared.
Qin An had a strong ability to recognize facial expressions. He looked at Yan Yikuan for a long time, and did not look back until the people sent by Li Xiangdong took him out of the room and walked towards this side.
What's going on? Why does it feel like Yan Yikuan doesn't have a problem? His expression was so natural, it was the panic caused by an uninformed person being suddenly controlled. Could it be that his guess was wrong? Isn't the real murderer the chef?
Zhao Zida jumped off the building, the young nurse was frightened to death, the deputy director was killed, and the nine corpses were found. Are there really no connections between the four cases? Is it all just a coincidence? Did you neglect anything? All the speculations are based on the fact that Yan Yikuan is the murderer, but marrying him is not the murderer. Who would exchange nine corpses from the morgue for what purpose, and who deliberately planned to kill the deputy director. Prophet Chang Guo?
Qin An had these questions and hurriedly turned on the monitoring capabilities to check the entire building. He did overlook a question. If someone used nine corpses to replace nine patients last night, where are the nine patients now?
