Chapter 208 Ignorant Parents (Please Subscribe and Vote Monthly)

Luo Fei noticed a detail they said and immediately asked, "So that means the child's father has not been in the hospital for a while?"

"That's right." They both nodded.

At this time, Liao Xingyu, who was in charge of recording, raised his head and said, "Are you sure?"

"This issue is very important to us, so you should think about it carefully and see if you remember it correctly."

"It's not wrong, because the man's attitude was very bad at the time. I couldn't bear it and we started to quarrel... Later, Director Wang came to mediate."

"For this matter, I was criticized by the hospital in a notice to the whole hospital, saying that my service attitude was poor and that I should not have quarreled with the patient's family, so I remember this matter very clearly."

Xiaofang said angrily, obviously still brooding over this matter.

Her attitude also adds credibility to this statement.

It was reasonable for her to keep this unfair treatment in mind.

Luo Fei thought to himself and heard Wang Yan speak again.

"Yes, this matter was quite serious at the time. Our hospital held several meetings regarding this matter."

"So not only Xiaofang remembers it, but I and the medical staff in our department also have an impression. If you are worried, you can find other people to find out more."

"Don't worry, we will definitely go for this. But what's the matter with Nurse Wang who just said that the child is not undergoing surgery at your place?"

"Because the child had eaten that day, we definitely didn't dare to operate, so after discussion, we postponed the operation to the next morning."

"Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, the child's parents repented and did not agree to the operation. For the safety of the patient, we definitely disagreed."

"No matter how we tried to persuade them, the couple just refused to listen. They kept saying that they had found a very effective folk remedy and that the child's illness would definitely heal on its own."

"I don't understand how there are still such confused parents in this era, but there is no way, they are the guardians of their children, so if they don't agree, we can only respect their opinions."

"Then the child probably stayed in the hospital for about a week. When his condition stabilized, they took the child home... and then less than three months later, the child was sent to the hospital again."

"But this time the child's heart failure was severe. Our entire department's medical staff worked for a whole day, but they couldn't revive him."

Speaking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "The family members were crying and the child's grandparents even knelt on the ground and begged us to save him... You said that our doctors are not gods."

"If they had done the surgery earlier, this would never have happened. The child was really harmed by their own stubbornness and ignorance."

"That time they refused to do the surgery, that afternoon when the child's father disappeared, who were all the family members accompanying the child in the hospital?"

Judging from the time, Zhou Dahu left the hospital in the afternoon, but Zhou Kairui disappeared in the morning.

Therefore, Luo Fei guessed that there must be an accomplice helping. As for this accomplice, it was no surprise that he was Zhou Dahu's father, Zhou Guohua.

"I don't remember this. I was on vacation that day and was not in the hospital."

"I can't remember exactly. I just remember that when I had an argument with the father of the child that morning, his wife and mother were nearby. Director Wang also asked me to apologize to the three of them in turn, so I remember it very clearly. .”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you both for your cooperation. By the way, Head Nurse Wang, are the medical records about Zhou Yucheng still there?"

"Yes, but these medical records from previous years have been stored in the archives. Only the people in the finance department have the key, so we may have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Then we'll come over again tomorrow morning."

After that, the two asked a few more questions, got up and left.

After walking out of the hospital and joining the people waiting outside, Liao Xingyu glanced at his phone.

"It'll be one o'clock soon, so let's go back and have a rest early, and then return to the team tomorrow morning to discuss the case."

"Can."

At that moment, several people drove the car back to the police station and went home.

Luo Fei also returned to the dormitory, took a quick shower, and went to bed quickly.

After 7:30 in the morning, Zhao Hai walked into the police station humming a song.

When passing by a group of offices, he was surprised to see Luo Fei sitting inside.

"Team Leader Luo, when did you come back?"

"last night."

"Are you all back? Is there a breakthrough in the case?"

"So be it."

"Tell me quickly."

"No rush, I'll talk about it together when everyone arrives."

Zhao Hai's appetite was whetted, so he didn't rush back to the fourth group's office after hearing this, and simply sat down at Zhang Wei's workstation.

After finding a topic, the two chatted casually, and people started to come to work one after another.

Hearing someone talking in a group of offices, everyone stretched their necks to look inside and immediately joined in.

After a while, many people gathered in the office.

When Zhang Wei came in, yawning profusely, he saw everyone gathered in a circle, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, we see Team Leader Luo here, come in and say hello."

Someone noticed the dark circles under Zhang Wei's eyes and joked, "I'm talking about Zhang Wei. He also stayed up late. How come Team Leader Luo is so lively and energetic, but you are like this? Could it be that you are weak?"

"Climb, you are weak. You guys are even weaker than me after surviving the night!"

"Ha ha."

Everyone burst into laughter, and then heard Zhao Hai say, "Don't tell me, the last few times I stayed up late to handle cases, the next day Team Leader Luo was still 100 times more energetic the whole day. We really can't compare."

"It seems really..."

"Team Leader Luo, do you have any secrets of maintenance? Please tell us quickly."

Seeing that the topic returned to him, Luo Fei put down the book helplessly and looked into several pairs of shining eyes.

“There’s no secret, just go to bed early, get up early, and exercise regularly.”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"……All right."

It didn't look like he was joking, so everyone could only blame it on his physical condition.

When eight o'clock arrived, Zhao Donglai stepped into the police station.

When Luo Fei and the others came back last night, they had already called him to report.

So he wasn't surprised to find people gathered in a group of offices.

"Stop hanging around here, go and inform everyone that we will gather in the conference room in five minutes."

…

meeting room.

Zhao Donglai looked around and found that everyone was here.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Luo Fei, Liao Xingyu, please talk about your findings this time."

"Captain Zhao, we initially suspected that the murderer's motive was superstitious, but through interviews, this suspicion was eliminated, and then..."

"I got inspiration from Zhang Wei's words... Through this speculation, we really found a suspicious object..."

Luo Fei quickly told them everything they discovered last night.

Zhao Donglai was thoughtful after hearing this.

At this time, Liao Xingyu said, "Team Zhao, judging from the current situation, Zhou Guohua and his son are indeed highly suspected of committing the crime."

"First of all, from their repeated refusal to operate on their child, it can be seen that this family is very stubborn and ignorant. Such people are indeed prone to superstitious beliefs in some folk remedies that have no scientific basis."

"According to the head nurse, Zhou Dahu disappeared for an entire afternoon when the child was seriously ill and did not return to the hospital until late at night."

"Although the child's medical records have not yet been obtained, based on what Zhou Guoan learned, it is basically certain that the day he disappeared was the day Zhou Kairui disappeared."

"Furthermore, after Zhou Kairui's accident, even though he was the eldest brother and the relationship between the two families was still very good, Zhou Guohua never saw Zhou Guoan again, which is very intriguing in itself."

Li Jun also echoed, "I agree with Lao Liao's point of view."

"I also agree. In addition, when the nurses did their rounds in the morning, they found a thermos bucket on the hospital bed. They also admitted that they had given the child something to eat. I suspect that it might be Zhou Kairui's missing heart."

"Team Leader Zhou's thinking is the same as mine. Judging from the time, I speculate that Zhou Guohua probably returned to the village first, and then took away Zhou Kairui while Zhou Guoan's wife came into the house to cook."

"Afterwards, Zhou Dahu returned home. The father and son killed someone and took out the heart. Zhou Dahu took it to the hospital and gave it to Zhou Yucheng, while Zhou Guohua stayed at home to dispose of Zhou Kairui's body."

"This is also why the child's mother clearly agreed to the operation, but suddenly regretted it. It is probably because they firmly believed that by eating people's hearts, Zhou Yucheng's illness would be cured, and there would be no need for another operation."

"After listening to your analysis, Team Leader Luo, I think this does make sense."

"If this is true, the Zhou family and his son must be too cruel."

"Let's not talk about the relationship between the two families. We also have children at home. How could they do such a cruel thing to another child..."

Although this speculation is very explosive and abnormal, it is not impossible.

After all, many parents do incredible things for their children.

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar and talking about it.

Zhao Donglai, who was silent in thought, finally spoke, "Everyone, please be quiet for now, Luo Fei, your speculation just now does make some sense, but what we pay attention to when handling cases is evidence."

"But judging from your current evidence, we can't even summon Zhou Guohua and his son, so what are you going to do next?"

"I plan to go to the city hospital later to get Zhou Yucheng's case. Once the exact time of Zhou Dahu's disappearance is determined, I will increase my visits to Baimao Village."

Luo Fei explained, "According to the investigation at the time, Zhou Kairui did not leave the village, and the Zhou family and his son did not have houses in the city or county."

"So I suspect that they must have killed the children somewhere in the village. Then it is impossible for Zhou Dahu to leave no traces this time."

"So as long as evidence is found that he appeared in the village that day, his suspicion will not be cleared."

"And Captain Zhao, you must cook before eating human hearts, so I seriously doubt that their home is the scene of the first crime, so I want to visit their Murakami home."

Although three years have passed and the traces of the crime have long disappeared, Luo Fei still wants to take a look.

What if something is discovered?

Hearing this, Zhao Donglai frowned, "I'm afraid this may be a bit difficult..."

The police are not bandits, and all actions are subject to prescribed restrictions.

They have no right to search citizens' houses without sufficient grounds.

This is illegal especially when the owner of the house is not present.

It's okay if you can find evidence of guilt, but if you can't find it, you'll be punished.

He thought for a while and said, "You guys go ahead as planned first. If it is determined during the visit that there is something wrong with this family, I will apply for a search warrant."

"Okay, but Captain Zhao, this visit may be very difficult. You have to send more people this time."

"Let's do this. You, groups one, two, three and four, and the home police dog squadron will go together. The technical squadron and I will stay behind."

After the meeting, everyone took action.

After letting them go first, Luo Fei took Zhang Wei and others to the city hospital again.

He Xin and Lin Jie went to the Finance Department to collect information, while Luo Fei and Zhang Wei visited the medical staff of the Cardiac Surgery Department.

Among them was Director Wang Honggang, whom they had not seen yesterday.

Because of the promotion of eugenics and postnatal care in recent years, pregnant women will have regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy, so the chance of newborns suffering from heart disease has been greatly reduced.

Most of the patients in cardiac surgery are elderly.

Therefore, for young children, the memory of the medical staff must be deeper. In addition, the strange operations of Zhou Dahu and his wife made everyone remember it particularly fresh.

So even though three years have passed, many people still remember this.

They also confirmed Wang Yan's statement, and Wang Honggang also said that because of the dispute between Zhou Dahu and Liu Fang, Liu Fang not only wrote a letter of apology.

As the head of the department, he also wrote a report with the purpose of explaining the incident in detail to the hospital.

Although this is of little help in solving the case, it is an important piece of evidence that proves that Zhou Dahu once left the hospital and his whereabouts are unknown.

Luo Fei immediately called He Xin and the others and asked them to bring out Liu Fang's confession and this report.

After doing all this, several people rushed to Qingshan Town non-stop.

On the way, Luo Fei called Zhao Donglai again.

"Team Zhao, based on the information obtained from the hospital, it has been completely determined that the day Zhou Dahu left the hospital happened to be the same day as Zhou Kairui disappeared."

"I applied to monitor the whereabouts of Zhou Dahu's family to prevent them from absconding upon hearing the news."

Zhou Dahu's wife, Meng Lan, is also from Baimao Village. They went to Baimao Village to visit their family in such a big way, so there was no guarantee that Meng Lan's family would not get the news.

Zhao Donglai had thought of this a long time ago, "Don't worry, I have contacted their local police a long time ago. As long as their comrades leave the city, they can control the person immediately."

"I can rest assured that."

After ending the call, Luo Fei called Liao Xingyu and several others.

On the phone, everyone planned where to visit each other.

…

The stressful day passed quickly.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Luo Fei and his two groups visited half of the villagers for several days before.

But today, five groups of people visited the entire village in just one day.

But everyone was so tired that when they returned to the hotel in the evening, they all lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Luo Fei and the other team leaders couldn't rest yet. The four of them gathered together to discuss everyone's gains today.
