forensic hunter

Going to work the next day, Luo Jianan had a long face all day long.Although it was just going to the hotel early in the morning to pick up Qi Ming from the bureau, Captain Chen said that he was at the mercy of Teacher Qi, so he had to be ready at any time.What's the deal, he's a policeman, how can he have the spare time to be a free driver for a consultant who doesn't even have forensic qualifications? !In addition, he should really throw the key that Qi Ming forced on him into the sewer.

"Captain, there is a clue." Colleagues Xu Jie and Qiao Dawei walked into the office together and put a medical record on Chen Fei's desk, "There is a patient named Wang Xinji in the Orthopedics Department of Tonghe Hospital who suffers from cervical spinal canal stenosis and has an appointment to go to the hospital on Monday. A re-examination was conducted, but the person did not show up, and his age and figure were consistent with the deceased. We have been to his house, but no one is there, please see if you can apply for a search warrant."

"Let me take a look first." Qi Ming appeared at the door of the office.He walked to Fade Chen's desk, took out the X-ray from the medical records, looked at the window, and nodded with certainty: "That's right, this is the deceased."

"Your eyes have DNA identification function?" Luo Jianan complained about him.

"Bones are the same as fingerprints. Everyone is different. It is easier to judge if there is cervical spinal stenosis." Qi Ming was a little impatient. If there were no people around waiting to listen, he would not bother to explain to Luo Jianan, "But let's go on It’s a professional question, and you can’t understand it.”

"Yes, you are a professional, and you are so good." Just as he was talking, Luo Jianan's cell phone rang, and he looked down, and smiled, "It seems that you don't need me. Professionals are here to help you find out about Qizhen's whereabouts."

Hearing his sister's name, Qi Ming immediately tensed up. "Who are you talking about?"

"This girl." Luo Jianan turned the phone screen to Qiming, "Your sister."

Hearing Luo Jianan's curse-like tone, Xu Jie burst out laughing uncontrollably.Qiao Dawei poked him with his elbow, motioning him not to be so rude.Qi Ming couldn't care less about Luo Jianan's tone, and strode forward to snatch the phone from the other party's hand, staring at the photos inside to observe carefully.Although many years had passed, the girl in the photo was obviously older than the age when he and his sister parted, but when he saw her eyebrows, he immediately recognized that it was Qi Zhen.

"Where did you get the photo?" Qi Ming asked Luo Jianan.

"Ah, this is a professional issue, and you don't understand if you tell me." Luo Jianan retaliated, "She is not called Qizhen now, but changed her name to Han Yue after adoption."

Qi Ming put the mobile phone on the table, raised his hand to clasp the edge of the table, and took a quick breath.Seeing this, Fade Chen hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Don't be idle here, Xiao Xu, Dawei, you immediately apply for a search warrant to go to the deceased's house to collect evidence, Xiao Luo, take Teacher Qi out to breathe."

--------------

Sitting on the stone platform beside the flower bed, Luo Jianan took out a cigarette, knocked out one and handed it to Qi Ming.Qi Ming glanced at the cigarette case, reached out and took out one, and lit it with the lighter that Luo Jianan flicked.

"I called the orphanage." Luo Jianan broke the silence, "I found a girl named Qizhen. I guess it should be your sister. After all, there are not many people with the surname Qi. The hospital provided me with the house that adopted your sister." The person’s home address, and then I checked the family’s information in the household registration of the Municipal Bureau, and it was cancelled. I wondered if they had left the country, so I called my buddy at the immigration office. Just found out that they immigrated to Canada ten years ago."

Qi Ming nodded, and extinguished the cigarette he had only smoked as usual.It is easy to know where the person is, hire a private detective, even if it takes ten or twenty years, to find his only relative.Qi Ming straightened up and let out a long breath. "Thank you, Pumpkin."

"Hey, a little sincerity." Luo Jianan narrowed his eyes, "It's impolite to call someone a nickname."

"Then tell me what your name is again."

"Luo Jianan, Luo is listed Luo, home is the home of the family, Nan... the lonely Nan with heather." Luo Jianan looked at Qi Ming provocatively, "Do I need to write it down for you?"

Qi Ming thought for a moment, and said: "Leng Cui has many cliff bamboos, and lonely people have heather—from Su Shi's "Entering the Gorge"...Well, it seems that the person who named you has quite a profound knowledge of ancient poetry."

"Of course, my grandfather—" Luo Jianan reacted for a moment, with a downcast face, "I said, I don't want to praise myself like that. Also, it takes a lot of effort to memorize people's names, but you can memorize ancient poems quite quickly."

"Useless things don't like to take up brain cells."

"Hey! I'm fucking—" Luo Jianan rolled up his sleeves as if to beat Qi Ming.

"Now I remember." Qi Ming smiled at him calmly, "Luo Jianan, I will remember Su Shi's poems—"

He paused, then stood up suddenly and ran to the medical examiner's office.Luo Jianan was dazed by his smile, and when he saw the person running away, he immediately recovered and chased after him, and asked while running, "The bullet bit your ass, are you running so fast?"

"I just remembered Su Shi's phrase 'The Artemisia annua is all over the ground and the reed buds are short, just when the puffer fish is about to go'." Qi Ming ran to the door of the autopsy office of the Forensic Medicine Office, opened the sliding door and shouted, "Old Han, here The corpse was analyzed by LC-MS! I suspect that the deceased was poisoned by tetrodotoxin and died.”

Old Han was stunned for a moment, and said, "The Municipal Bureau doesn't have an instrument capable of LC-MS analysis, but the Provincial Department's Forensic Center does. If necessary, I'll take a sample now."

"How long will it take?" Pulling out a pair of rubber gloves from the box and putting them on, Qi Ming opened his hands and turned his head at Lao Han, "Take a nerve sample for me, and I'll do a test."

Taking nerve samples is delicate work, and Qi Ming showed appreciation for Lao Han's swiftness.After the sample was taken and placed on the table, Qi Ming used a dropper to drop a few drops of detergent on the smear, waited for a few minutes and asked Luo Jianan to turn off the headlight, and then irradiated it with a UV lamp—a needle-like Stars of faint light appeared on the smear, and Luo Jianan's eyes widened when he saw it.

"what is this?"

"The product of tetrodotoxin hydrolyzed by alkali can make an accurate judgment by LC-MS analysis." Pulling off the gloves and throwing them into the trash can, Qi Ming turned on the light, "Send blood samples for testing, Lao Han, confirm it." My conclusion."

"Pugfish...propeller...well..." Luo Jianan scratched his head, "Why do I think the murderer is a fisherman?"

"That's right." Qi Ming answered casually, "I thought you even had muscles in your brain."

Luo Jianan clenched his fists—the puffer puffer is not as poisonous as your mouth!

--------------

After listening to Luo Jianan's report, Fade Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Xu and Dawei are investigating at the deceased's house, but there are not enough manpower now, you can go to the Water Bureau to check the information on the registered fishing boats, and ask the teacher to give you the size of the propeller. That specification check."

"So I don't need to be the driver of that great dancer?" Luo Jianan felt a ray of dawn shine through the window.

"Come back quickly after the investigation, the Water Bureau is not far away."

"..." Luo Jianan frowned so much that he could kill a fly, "Captain, do you dislike me?"

"I don't think any of you bastards are pleasing to the eye!" Fade Chen slapped the table with a slap, "Everything except breaking the rules is breaking the rules. When will I be relieved!"

Seeing this, the vice-captain Zhao Pingsheng quickly persuaded him: "Old Chen, calm down, young people, it's good to be aggressive."

"A good thing? That's it—" Fade Chen pointed at Luo Jianan, "Shooting shots at the entrance of the train station, don't you think there are too few people?"

Luo Jianan's neck stiffened, and he said confidently: "Captain, we have to speak with conscience, what if the suspect runs away if I don't fire a warning shot?"

"Then why didn't you say that you scared all the more than 200 passengers to the ground?"

"No one has a heart attack!" Luo Jianan walked out of the office after finishing speaking.

If Zhao Pingsheng didn't stop him, the dossier in Chen Fei's hand would have smashed Luo Jianan's head. "Okay, old Chen, don't get angry with children." Filling Chen Fei's cup with water and putting it on the table, Zhao Pingsheng patted his arm and said, "Thinking about you back then, it's not as easy as they let the old captain save you." Heart."

"Retribution..." Fade Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "I used to scold the old captain with anger, but now his grandson scolds me with anger."

"I think Luo Jianan is a good kid. Really, you said that when you were an undercover agent, the risk was so high, he went without hitting a single one."

"Well, it didn't embarrass his grandfather."

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I visited the old captain. If you don't work overtime on weekends, why don't you go to the cemetery together?"

Fade Chen nodded melancholy. "Yeah, I haven't seen him for a long time." He patted his desk, "The old captain has been a policeman all his life, and in the end he had to die in front of his desk. Tell me, does this count as death on the battlefield? ?”

Holding Fade Chen's hand, Zhao Pingsheng nodded. "Of course, but you have to take care of your health, old guy, don't let me spend the rest of my life alone."

"This is the office, pay attention to the influence." Fade Chen withdrew his hand with a cold face, took a drink from the cup to cover up his embarrassment, and finally sprayed it out——

"Your uncle! Pour boiling water!? You want to scald me to death!"

--------------

While waiting for the little girl in the office of the Water Affairs Bureau to copy the ship registration information for herself, Luo Jianan and an aunt next to her had nothing to do to tease the poor.Auntie smiled and asked him, "How old is this year?"

Luo Jianan quickly waved his hand and said no.The three generations of their family are single-handed policemen. Grandpa is a criminal policeman and father is a special police officer. He has seen how many times his grandma and mother secretly wiped tears because they were worried about their husband's safety, so he really didn't intend to harm a good girl again.It's nice to be alone, isn't it?No one thinks that you go to bed without taking a shower after working overtime for three days, and you don’t have to have a drink with your buddies and find an excuse to come home late. The best part is that you don’t have to lie!

He talked about a girlfriend before, when he was still in the police academy.The other party was majoring in English at the School of Foreign Languages, and she hoped that Luo Jianan would be able to visit her during the holidays after she went abroad to study in graduate school.But in fact, Luo Jianan can't go abroad at all, and he can't get a passport at all unless he is on business-go out to see his girlfriend?Even your mother can't do it!

Later, the girl left and went to England, and then Luo Jianan went undercover and lost contact.When he returned to the police force and used his original mobile phone number, he saw that the girl had posted a wedding photo in his WeChat Moments, and the groom was a foreigner.Well, it doesn't count that he was cheated on by others. He went undercover without leaving a word to others. Why should he let others wait?His colleagues advised him to find someone in the police force otherwise.But if the couple are both policemen, working overtime is neither black nor white, and the family doesn't look like a family, so why bother?

Unless you can really meet someone who loves you so much, Luo Jianan thought, otherwise you won't get married in this life.

Returning to the bureau with the copied materials, Luo Jianan just turned on the computer and the phone vibrated.Seeing that it was Qi Ming calling, he didn't want to answer it at all.

Within 5 minutes, Qi Ming's voice sounded behind him: "Superintendent Luo, take me back to the hotel."

"Didn't you see that I'm busy?" Luo Jianan dumped him angrily, without turning his head - he took a taxi by himself, what the hell did he do to catch the free driver doing his best?

Qi Ming glanced at the ship registration information displayed on the computer screen, bent over and held the mouse—Luo Jianan’s hand was still on it—quickly flipped through the pages, and said: “Exclude ships with a draft of more than two meters, the river bed is higher than This value will be stranded."

Being held by Qi Ming and being breathed on his neck by the other party, Luo Jianan felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his face still had a little fever.Ke Qiming didn't seem to care at all, still looking directly at the computer screen.

"Hey, pay attention to the influence, this is in the office." Xu Jie sat down on Luo Jianan's desk, and said with a smile: "It's so sticky, isn't it too hot? Jia Nan, do you want to turn on the air conditioner for you?"

"Screw your sister! Go away!"

Qi Ming let go of his hands and straightened up, looked down at Luo Jianan, and frowned slightly.He didn't do anything, did he?Why is the other party's neck red?

Xu Jie shrugged, and threw the information in his hand onto the keyboard. "Although we still have to wait for the results of the DNA comparison between the toothbrush extract and the corpse, I think Teacher Qi's judgment is correct. The deceased should be Wang Xinji. The shoes on the shoe rack are all size 43, which is consistent with the corpse."

"Have you found the contact information of your relatives?" Luo Jianan rubbed his face, feeling a little hot.

"Wang Xinji is not a local, that is the house he rented, and you can check with the place of household registration when the DNA results come out." Xu Jie thought for a while, "The neighbor said that he often saw a woman in her forties coming in and out of his room. "

"Wife? Lover?" Luo Jianan asked.

"I don't know, Dawei took the neighbor to the sketcher, and when the portrait comes out, it will be entered into the facial recognition system for checking."

"The results will be available tomorrow afternoon at the soonest." Luo Jianan stood up and turned his head towards Xu Jie, "I will leave this job to you, except those with a draft of more than two meters, and print out the rest of the information."

"Fuck! I've been working overtime for a week!"

"Then you take him back to the hotel." Luo Jianan pointed at Qi Ming.

"No, this is an important task entrusted to you by the captain." Xu Jie gave Qi Ming a big smile, "Mr. Qi, see you tomorrow."

"Uh... see you tomorrow."

Qi Ming couldn't remember the name of this policeman who always had a smiling face.

--------------

At the beginning of the night, the off-road vehicle was squeezed into the dense traffic flow during the rush hour, and it took a while to get a little distance forward.Luo Jianan noticed that Qi Ming had been staring out the window, as if he was thinking about something.The street lamp hit him through the car window, casting a hazy halo.

"Thinking about your sister?" Luo Jianan asked.

"En." Qi Ming responded lightly.

"You... separated when you were very young?"

"I'm eight and she's four."

Luo Jianan held back for a while and asked, "Where are your parents?"

"They're all dead. Uncle refused to adopt us and threw us into an orphanage." Qi Ming sighed slightly, "I was adopted before Qi Zhen, and we lost contact with her since then."

"Then... are your adoptive parents treating you well?"

"It's not adoptive parents, it's two men." Qi Ming looked sideways at Luo Jianan, "A couple from the United States. Of course, the orphanage doesn't know their relationship. There is only one person's name on the application form. I beg them Take Qizhen together, they don’t want us to be separated, but the orphanage stipulates that single men can only adopt boys, so they have to give up. Yes, they treated me very well, provided for my education, and gave all the inheritance after death I."

It wasn't until the car behind honked its horn that Luo Jianan recovered from the shock and drove forward for a while.Swallowing, he asked, "So your shares in Holiday Inn were left to you by them?"

"Not only the Holiday Inn, they also have a lot of investment. In fact, I don't know exactly how much money they have. It's all operated by trust fund companies." Qi Ming gently pushed his glasses down, "The time between the two of them died was only The difference of a week, I think it is a kind of luck, people who love each other should not suffer the pain of separation."

"Wow, this is really—" Luo Jianan didn't know how to express his inner feelings, he was in a state of excessive shock from the moment he heard "two men".

"What is it? Unbelievable?" Qi Ming let out a long sigh of relief, "If you have any opinions to express, I am all ears."

Luo Jianan quickly clarified himself: "No, no, there are people like this around me, don't be nervous, I don't discriminate."

Qi Ming sneered and said, "Why are you nervous? I didn't say I like men."

"Oh, that's good." Luo Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you say?"

"Huh? Oh, I mean, that's good. I can introduce you to a girl when I have a chance."

"You are still single, where can you introduce me to girls?"

"I'm just too lazy to fall in love. If I really want to, there are plenty of girls to choose from."

Hearing this, Qi Ming smiled and shook his head. "Anyway, if I don't meet someone who truly loves me, I'm sure I can't handle it."

Well, this view of feelings is very similar to mine.

While thinking about it, Luo Jianan felt that something was not quite right.
