【Ling Li】Greedy Wolf

3. Bone and Heart ([-])

Aunt Chen, the cleaner on their floor, was the first to discover what happened to Lao Wang's wife.

Aunt Chen is an older lesbian who is very serious about her work. Basically, she cleans the toilets on this floor every hour.

When she went to clean it this morning, she only felt a strange smell in the toilet.

This is a hospital, some people are lazy and just pour the medicine that should be disposed of into the toilet. It is also a common thing, so Aunt Chen didn't pay too much attention.The door to the innermost compartment was locked, and a pair of cloth shoes that are rarely worn now were faintly exposed under the door.Aunt Chen cleaned the other compartments and went to work again.

After waiting for an hour, when she came back, not only did the smell in the toilet not dissipate, but it became even more pungent.Aunt Chen was not very happy and muttered a few words.She paid attention the last time she cleaned, the other compartments were clean, someone must have poured something into the innermost compartment.

However, the innermost room was still locked.Aunt Chen was a little puzzled. The toilets on this floor are quite big, and most people are too lazy to walk a few more steps. The innermost room is rarely used, so how come it is occupied twice in a row?

With such doubts, she poked her head over and felt something was wrong. The cloth shoes she saw last time were exposed under the crack of the door.

Aunt Chen began to feel uneasy, went up and knocked on the door, and called a few more times, but no one responded.She became even more flustered, and hurried to the security guard.The security guard didn't dare to be negligent, so he broke open the door with her, and saw Lao Wang's wife sitting on the toilet, feeling cold, with an empty pesticide bottle lying on the ground.

When Ling Yuan arrived, Lao Wang's son was leading a group of bums around the gate of the ward, still shouting: "Your hospital forced my mother to death! You will pay for my mother's life!"

Well, quite like a filial son.

Lao Wang sat on the hospital bed in a daze, like a log, and nothing seemed to have anything to do with him.His son was still clamoring loudly, wanting to see a leader who could talk.

Ling Yuan sneered, pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, saying, "You can report what's going on, but don't affect the treatment of other patients."

Old Wang's son glanced at him: "Who are you?"

Ling Yuan said coldly: "I am Ling Yuan, the director of the First Hospital."

Old Wang's son was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he smiled with a slanted mouth: "Oh, you are the leader. Then I'm going to say, your hospital drove my mother to death! You Be responsible! Otherwise, we will wait and see!"

Ling Yuan said calmly: "You make a condition."

Old Wang's son probably didn't expect him to be so talkative, and an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face: "One hundred... no, two million! Give me two million, and let's forget about it!"

Ling Yuan sneered, folded his arms, took advantage of his height, and coldly condescended: "Do you know, just based on what you said just now, we can immediately report to you for extortion."

Old Wang's son reacted for a long time before he realized that he was being played by someone. He immediately flew into a rage and wanted to tear Ling Yuan's clothes when he went up. The group of hooligans behind him saw him make a move, and immediately rushed up and surrounded Ling Yuan.Lao Wang's son was still shouting: "You have the guts to call the police! Report! Don't fucking scare me! My mother died in your hospital, so don't try to renege on it!"

Before his hand touched Ling Yuan, someone grabbed him by the collar.

The man was very strong, he pulled him back a few steps, he couldn't stand still, and sat down on the ground.

Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the person who pulled him take out his ID card from his pocket, and stared at him coldly: "Why, you still want to hit someone in front of the police, you are quite capable!"

When Old Wang's son heard the word "policeman", he instinctively faltered and didn't dare to say a word, so he got up and stood aside in desperation.

The police comrade turned around and asked solemnly: "Who is in charge? Where is the scene?"

Ling Yuan stretched out his hand to him with a serious face: "I am. I will take you there, comrade policeman."

After leaving the crowd, Ling Yuan smiled: "The acting skills are not bad, Comrade Li Xunran, thank you for helping me out just now."

Li Xunran snorted: "Where is it, if it weren't for the crowd just now, I would definitely beat him up."

Ling Yuan laughed suddenly: "Hey, hey, comrade policeman, pay attention to professional quality, quality."

Li Xunran retorted: "The job of the police is to beat up bad people and save good people."

Ling Yuan thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason.

Li Xunran asked again: "What's going on?"

Ling Yuan told Li Xunran about the situation of the old Wang's house and the trouble a few days ago, and Li Xunran showed a very regretful expression after hearing this: "I just said that I played lightly just now!"

Ling Yuan couldn't be bothered to talk to him.

The ins and outs of Lao Wang's wife are very clear. Li Xunran took two people with him, after a simple investigation, he decided on sex and committed suicide.The two little policemen made a record and went back to the police station to make a business trip. Li Xunran was not in a hurry to leave.It was not his turn to attend such a case, but he heard that it was in the No. [-] Hospital, so he volunteered to come.Now I greeted Ling Yuan, and walked into the door of the psychiatric department familiarly.

When I came out, I ran into Ling Yuan at the elevator entrance.Li Xunran looked around and asked hesitantly, "Is your office on this floor?"

Ling Yuan smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll wait for you."

He looked at his watch: "It's time for dinner. I invite you to dinner. Thank you for your help in the morning."

Officer Li originally wanted to be polite, to show the high integrity of the people's public servants who don't take the people's needles and threads.However, my stomach growled in response to the occasion, and seeing the watch brand on Dean Ling's wrist with sharp eyes, I suddenly felt that people like him must not be considered as masses, no matter how bad they are, they should be considered as landlords, and should be clearly assigned to classes. into the enemy's ranks.

All in all, his bamboo sticks are not for nothing.

Ling Yuan had already prepared a lot of words, so he just waited for him to refuse.Unexpectedly, Officer Li thought about it for five seconds, and replied with a smile: "Okay."

The place was chosen by Ling Yuan. The newly opened restaurants near the hospital are not cheap, so it is rare that there are not full restaurants in the surrounding area. There are only a few tables sparsely filled in the spacious hall.

There was nothing to say while waiting for the food, and it was embarrassing, Ling Yuan asked casually, "What have you been up to lately?"

After asking, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I smiled and said, "I'm not prying into police secrets, am I? If it's not convenient for you to talk about it, forget it."

When this topic was mentioned, Li Xunran's head hurt again: "This is still a secret, isn't the TV turned on every day recently? I went to the convenience store outside our office to buy something, but the boss grabbed me and asked me!"

Bones were dug up on the demolition site, this was the first time Li Xunran's father, who had been a policeman all his life, saw such a bizarre case.The results of the forensic medical examination came out soon. The deceased was a young woman, no older than 30 years old, never had a child, and there were obvious marks of blunt trauma on the back of the head. The time of death should be more than ten years.

This large area of ​​demolished old bungalows is the family area of ​​the former state-owned steel factory.In the past ten years, the original householders here have moved away one after another. Most of the houses are renovated and rented out to others. The crowd is complex and mobile.In addition, when the bones were dug out, the construction on the ground was basically over, and it was impossible to tell which families lived in the surrounding area, which also increased the difficulty of investigation.

Reluctantly, Li Xunran led the boys from the criminal police team to rummage around the construction site for a few days, and finally found a clue—someone found a rotten cowhide briefcase in the ruins near the bones. It should be an old thing from the last century.

Holding a glimmer of hope, they visited some old employees of the steel plant, and to their great surprise, some people actually recognized them.The man was a retired cashier from the steel factory, and he could tell at a glance that it was a leather bag specially used to hold cash in the factory back then.

After such a disturbance, the old cashier recalled a past.

A long time ago, about 20 years ago, there was a big incident in the factory, a cashier absconded with money.

The girl's surname is Zhu, she is not from the local area, but she is studying in a local university, and she naturally stayed and worked after graduation.College students in those days were different from now, they were still a very cherished and protected species, and Xiao Zhu was handsome and lively, very likable.

The factory pays wages on the [-]th of every month, and on the [-]th they go to the bank to get cash.As the only college student in finance at that time, Xiao Zhu was highly regarded. Not long after she came, she was given the job of receiving cash.

Then one day, Xiao Zhu suddenly disappeared.What disappeared with her was a whole bag of cash that had just been withdrawn from the bank.

The factory immediately called the police, but Xiao Zhu seemed to have evaporated and was never found again.

According to the situation described by the old cashier, combined with the characteristics of the bone, it is very likely that Xiao Zhu did not abscond, but was killed.The bureau immediately sent someone to contact Xiao Zhu's relatives. A few days later, the DNA test results came out, and the bone was indeed Xiao Zhu, the cashier who "absconded" back then.

Xiao Zhu is a foreigner, and his social relations in this city are not complicated, and his body was buried in the family area of ​​the steel factory, so it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime.

The trouble is that the iron and steel factory has closed down long ago, and the staff is dispersed. Many old employees are not even in the city anymore.What's more, Xiao Zhu has not been here for a long time, and there are not many people who know her well. Many people don't even remember that there was such a person back then, so the investigation encountered a bottleneck.

Li Xunran picked out some situations that did not violate discipline, and briefly told Ling Yuan.Halfway through the meal, his cell phone rang, looked at the number, and greeted Ling Yuan apologetically, without shy away from it, he picked it up in front of Ling Yuan.

The call was made by his colleague from the police station, saying that he had found some clues.Some old workers in the steel factory reported that Xiao Zhu was very close to a couple in the factory at that time. familiar.

But he couldn't remember the couple's surnames. After thinking about it for a long time, he barely remembered that the surname was Wang, and there was a son in poor health at home.

There are quite a few people surnamed Wang, and it is nothing new to have a son in poor health.

The clue is broken here again.

Li Xunran sighed, hung up the phone, and Ling Yuan was staring at him intently.Officer Li greeted him embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, that's what's wrong with eating with the police. If you're not careful, you'll lose your appetite."

Ling Yuan smiled: "I think it's good, save money."

Li Xunran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he said while laughing: "Hey, I said Ling Yuan, I think you are quite interesting, you are not the same as the dean I imagined."

Ling Yuan tilted his head, and said troubledly: "I may have to wait another ten or twenty years before I become the serious white-bearded professor in your imagination—I'm sorry for ruining the glorious image of the dean in your heart."

His serious appearance made Li Xunran laugh so hard: "How do you know that the dean is not a middle-aged fat man in my heart?"

Ling Yuan replied: "Then I'm middle-aged anyway, and fat people are easy to deal with. If you eat a little more, you'll get fat."

He added: "Eat more too, you're too skinny."

Li Xunran harbored malicious intentions: "Why do you speak in the same tone as my mother?"

Ling Yuan could not be fooled by him: "The only people in the world who care more about your health than yourself are your mother and the doctor."

Li Xunran replied with a smile: "Then your mother has a doctor's son like you, so it's really much more worry-free."

But he said it casually, but Ling Yuan's expression changed.

The gloomy look flashed across his face, but the criminal police's professional instinct still allowed Li Xunran to grasp this clue.

He stopped smiling, and said cautiously, "Uh... sorry. Did I say something wrong?"

Ling Yuan pursed his lips and smiled stiffly: "It's okay."

He blinked and said again: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my own business,"

But he looked sad.Li Xunran thought.

Because of this small episode, the following meal was not so pleasant, Li Xunran didn't dare to speak, and Ling Yuan was a little absent-minded.After a meal, Li Xunran wanted to report back to the police station. Ling Yuan had a meeting in the afternoon, so he said goodbye on the spot when he left the house. Li Xunran suddenly said, "Ling Yuan, let me leave a call for you."

He smiled and said, "If you encounter the situation in the morning again, you can come to me directly."

Ling Yuan also smiled: "Isn't it okay to call 110 and report your name?"

Li Xunran pretended to think for a while: "If it's okay to call 120 and report your name, then I should be fine too."

The joke brightened the mood a little.He said that he left Ling Yuan a phone number, but in the end they exchanged numbers.

When Li Xunran walked, his hands were in his trouser pockets, his back was tall and thin, and his walking posture was unique to the policeman. He was young and handsome, like the senior that every female high school student had a crush on.For some reason, Ling Yuan could see a hint of joy from his back.

No matter what he's been through, at least for this moment, he looks carefree and cute and happy.

What a fine young man, and he looks so pretty when he smiles.Ling Yuan thought, it would be great if he could laugh like this for the rest of his life.
