Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Fang Jiming, the night shift detective I hired is a retired police officer with a deadpan, very calm face.He's seen it all, and nothing can alarm him. Once Fang Jiming and another detective followed a woman on a crowded street, one on the left and one on the right.Suddenly the woman was gone, just out of thin air.The other detective was completely dumbfounded.Fang Jiming calmly walked back to the place where the woman disappeared, and finally found that she had accidentally fallen into an uncovered sewer and passed out. Fang Jiming asked 119 to assist and send the woman to the hospital.Although the woman's kneecap was broken and she was in a coma, Fang Jiming was still waiting outside the hospital for someone to take over.

This is the standard Fang Jiming style. When Mi Shanlou and I walked to his car, he looked up at us.There was a little smile on his wrinkled face.He said: I knew you would come.I've always wanted to make a call to report, but I was afraid that she would come out just as I was leaving. She has run away.Shanlou said. what happened.Jimin?I asked. I was always here.I saw the ambulance coming, and I saw the police coming.There were also two policemen inside, who once came out to chase me away.I don't like people chasing me. I said: Jimin, it seems that this time she slipped away from you.

Fang Jiming shook his head. I told him: I guess it's true.She must have slipped through the back door. Then she must climb over a seven-foot wooden fence.Fang Jiming said. Maybe the fence has a gate. Fang Jiming said: I have checked, there is no back door.My current position can also take into account the only exit door of the back fence. You must have taken your eyes off this direction for a minute or two. Fang Jiming shook his head slowly: My eyes have been trained, and I will see any movement anywhere. I looked at Shanlou and asked: Are you sure she left? Of course, Shanlou said, we got all the keys from Bao Qile.My people are still inside.

Have you searched the place thoroughly?Fang Jiming asked. Mi Shanlou looked at Fang Jiming thoughtfully, wanted to say something, but stopped again. I said: It's okay anyway, let's go in and have a look. Shanlou said: Talk to my subordinates.what happened?Walk! Fang Jiming got back into the car and asked: Do you want me to wait? Yes, wait.I told him. I didn't say anything. We crossed the road and went up the steps into the house. A plainclothes man was at the door, and he opened the door for us: Oh, hello.Officer, please come in. What data have you collected? There are only two people in total, and there is nothing special to gain.

Shanlou said: Okay, let's take a look too. We passed the living room where I had chatted with Mrs. Bao earlier, passed the dining room, passed a small pantry aisle, and came to the kitchen. Another police officer in charge of the search was rummaging through it. Did you find anything?Shanlou asked. Nothing was found.It's just a casual look, hoping to find some clues. Check to see if there are two sugar bowls in the kitchen, Shanlou said, such things will not be hidden, and will be placed in plain sight. I was looking at them one by one, the man said, I poured out every can and looked at the pepper, flour, and monosodium glutamate.

That's good, have you seen it upstairs? Yes, I took a rough look at each room before starting to search one by one. no one home? No ghosts, no. Shanlou looked at me. Have you seen the basement?I asked. The police officer glared at me unenthusiastically, and replied shortly and unceremoniously: Yes. I told Officer Mi: Let's take a look too, just in case. certainly.I'm going to take a look anyway. The police officer looked at me coldly, obviously very dissatisfied because I caused Officer Mi to question his search just now. Where are the servants?I asked Shanlou. There are several.A cook, a maid, a housekeeper.Now they are all in the headquarters, and someone is investigating.I don't think they know anything, but we don't want them running around when we're looking for the source of the poison.You know, sometimes servants mess up the evidence when they think they are loyal.

Let's go upstairs and have a look. Let's go upstairs, look at the bedroom, bathroom and toilet. The front bedroom was full of men's clothes, obviously Bao Qile was using them.There are two large closets and a bathroom in the interior.A door, apparently leading to another bedroom, was closed. Mrs. Bao's bedroom is immediately after Mr. Bao's bedroom.There is a closet, a powder room, and a closed door.Her bathroom is not in the direction of Mr. Bao's bedroom, but may be connected to another bedroom at the back. I opened each wardrobe door and looked.I went to the closed door, Shanlou said: This is Mr. Tongbao's bedroom, strange, why is it locked?

Let's open it.I said. Why not?He said. I twisted the gateball left and right many times, and I said: Obviously it wasn't locked on this side, it was the other side that pressed the lock.Shanlou, could this not be the door leading to the bedroom? Shanlou said: Of course it is the door to the bedroom over there.His bedroom is the front bedroom, in this direction, that But you look at the wardrobe approach.I said: There is also a wardrobe over there.I don't think the door is a pass through.Let's take a closer look. I remembered the direction of the house and the direction of the closet. I went to Qile's bedroom, estimated the size, entered the bedroom again, estimated the direction and size, and tried to turn the doorknob.

I said: the same.locked from the inside.Shan Building, inside is the bathroom leading to two bedrooms, and the doors on both sides are locked from the inside. Officer Mi looked at me with approval in his eyes, he waved his hands back and said: Get out of the way! He stepped back five or six steps, lowered his right shoulder, grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, and slammed into the door with a sideways run, like a football player slamming into the opponent's formation. The door frame at the doorknob was torn apart. This is a bathroom.A woman was lying prone on the tiled floor.She was in a gown, completely unconscious, her skirt turned up over her hips, her legs in neat stockings bent.The black garters and the pink flesh are all visible.One side of the face is on the ground, the hair is messy, and one arm is holding the base of the pumping horse.The other hand stretched out on the ground, fingers like hooks, as if trying to grab a tile.

The bathroom floor is very messy.It was obvious that the woman had vomited violently, but because it was too weak, she fell down desperately. I took a step forward to check her pulse.No beating.Her skin was cold and wet.I could see one side of her face, it was Bao Dafen. Officer Mi spat out a series of curses, mainly using the Three Character Classic to scold his subordinates for their stupidity and incompetence. On the stairs I heard footsteps running up.Then came the officer fumbling around in the kitchen, pistol in his hand.He must have heard the sound of Shanlou slamming open the door, probably planning to deal with me.

He saw us standing in the bathroom, the cracked door, the people on the bathroom floor, and he hung his head. What is it, Officer Mi? Police officer Mi shouted: What do you still ask me?It's a woman who is about to die. You are my subordinates, and you always tear me down.Why was this bathroom neglected? He said embarrassingly: I am also surprised, officer.I thought it was a door between two rooms.I tried it and it was locked on both sides.I think it's evidence that the couple doesn't get along or fights.Thought the D.A. would like us to leave it undisturbed as evidence. How's your heartbeat, Tang Nuo?Officer Mi looks away from the apologetic and embarrassed officer. I said: The pulse is gone.Very weak breathing.It was almost as cold as the ground.I could die at any moment. Shanlou said to the police officer: What are you doing standing there?Calling an ambulance won't work, if we wait for an ambulance, she will die at our hands.Pick her up and take her to the emergency department in a police car.Tell the doctor that it is arsenic poisoning, the diagnosis has been confirmed by another patient, and give first aid for arsenic poisoning immediately, do not waste time.quick! The man slowly put the gun away.Shanlou changed his mind and decided to do it himself. Shanlou bent down to the unconscious woman, put one hand under her thighs, and the other under her shoulders, and hugged her all the way up, as if it didn't take any effort at all.He carried her to the street, tried to put her in the police car parked in front of the door, changed his mind, carried her across the street, and walked to his own police car.He turned his head and said to the other police officer: I will take her to the hospital, and you stay here to search for poison.Don't just let anyone in, you know? Yes, officer. Shanlou was still shouting: Give me some snacks, if she dies, see how I deal with you.If it gets in the papers, you'll have to die. I opened the back door of the police car straight, Shanlou put the noodle-like woman on the cushion, and glanced at me as if asking for advice. I nodded and closed the rear door, entered the car from the other rear door, sat half of my body on the cushion, and protected her with my hands. You need to sit still.Shanlou walked around the front of the car and said. I put one knee on the back of the front seat. Shanlou turned on the engine, flashing red lights, and sirens urging for death. Under Shanlou's skillful technique, I thought it would only start like this if I took a rocket to the moon. I looked out the rear window and saw a car following us, trying to keep up. I forgot to tell Fang Jiming that he can go back.His duty is to keep an eye on Mrs. Bao, and he is doing his best. Officer Mi turned the car from second gear to high gear after passing the second intersection.The police siren gave him the right of way, and the red light was flashing. Sitting in the car, he felt that all the cars outside had stopped, and only our car was driving at high speed on the road.After rushing through the second or third intersection, there are more vehicles on the side.Officer Mi didn't slow down, overtook another car on the inside line, went to the reverse lane, and crossed the street at a red light. He was so frightened that the oncoming car didn't know whether to move forward or back up to give way. I tried my best to stabilize myself, but I didn't have a bloody head.But Mrs. Bao had no autonomy at all, so she was knocked down several times.The two rolled around a bit in the backseat, but I never let her fall to the ground. Shanlou stopped the car in front of the emergency hospital, I opened the door for him, and let him carry the unconscious patient. His great physical strength does not need my assistance at all.Before I got out of the car, he had already grabbed Mrs. Bao's wrist, carried her on his shoulders, and walked to the door of the emergency room of the hospital.I had to run a few quick steps to help him pull the door open and let him in. He said: OK!Tang Nuo.You go back and wait for me in the car. I went back to the police car and sat in the front right seat. Fifteen minutes later, a car turned sharply around the corner.Stop behind the police car.I opened the door, got out of the car, and walked over to him. Yes, it's Fang Jiming. He said sorry: I came as soon as possible.she's in there, isn't she? I nod. ask me to wait, or I said: There is nothing here.Jimin, I need you to do something. What? Start immediately.be quick.Some pharmacies are closed, while others are still open.Centering on Baiji Building, find every pharmacy that is still open.Tell them that you need to look at the registration of the purchase of toxic drugs, give me a list of those who have bought arsenic trioxide in the past week. good.He said.After a while, I asked as if thinking of something: Shall I start near the Bao family’s residence on Adan Street? Absolutely not.First, I don't think there will be anything to discover.Second, the police won't miss this.I want to be one step ahead.Start near the White Base Mansion, and don't be afraid to spend a little money if necessary. OK, want me to report tomorrow? An hour later, call back to my office.I said. OK, let's go now.You said that only arsenic is needed, and other poisons are ignored? That's right, just arsenic.I don't have time for anything else anyway. Other poisonous rats, containing arsenic?You know there's a lot of arsenic I told him: I have a feeling we're dealing with pure play.We don't have much time, so we must go one step ahead and only check the pure ones. It's all up to you.While talking, he ate at the food stall, turned around and headed for the business district. I waited another tedious twenty minutes in Mi Shanlou's car.He came out and said: Alright, Tang Nuo, you can go now. I said: nonsense, you can't let me dove, I want to go back to my car.You should take me back to the office. no. how is she? It's hard to say. Arsenic? They were treating her with arsenic poisoning.The stomach was washed, and some iron-containing things were poured in to neutralize it. she woke up? You keep asking questions, are you tired?After he finished speaking, he turned his huge body and walked into the hospital. I left the police car and walked towards the direction where I was most likely to find a taxi.
