Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 264 A kitchen knife and four fingers

"Adjust the surveillance in the stairwell." Yu Dazhang said to the uniformed security personnel.

The man waved his hand:

"There's no surveillance in the stairwell."

"No surveillance?" Yu Dazhang looked at him in surprise:

"How can it be!"

In his opinion, hospitals should install surveillance in all public areas.

Not to mention 100% coverage, but at least it should be installed in transition areas such as stairwells.

"Really not." The man explained:

“Stairs are used as passages between floors. Although they belong to public areas, they may also involve patients’ privacy.”

“Excessive monitoring may lead to violations of patients’ privacy rights.”

"And every elevator is covered by surveillance, so installing surveillance in the stairwell is an additional cost."

"Also, the structure and layout of the stairs are not suitable for installing surveillance. The steps are curved..."

Seeing that he was talking endlessly, Yu Dazhang quickly raised his hand to interrupt:

"ok, ok, I got it."

He finally understood that installing surveillance cameras in the stairwell was not a mandatory requirement.

Therefore, not all hospitals have surveillance coverage for transition areas such as stairwells.

"Call the nearby police station and ask them to send someone for support." Yu Dazhang ordered Liu Miao.

Liu Miao quickly took out his cell phone and made a call.

Yu Dazhang called up the surveillance camera on the first floor corridor facing the stairwell door.

Move the mouse to fast forward from half an hour ago, and the video will soon reach the end.

Didn’t come out?
He Tianxin is still in the stairwell!

Yu Dazhang immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door of the monitoring room. Before leaving, he quickly said to Liu Miao:
"Have the police station send someone from the technical department as soon as possible, and then you take the elevator to the top floor and search from top to bottom."

After saying this, he immediately trotted towards the stairwell.

He Tianxin's ward is on the third floor, so he is most likely staying between the first and third floors.

Yu Dazhang's brain at this moment was like an overheated CPU, running at a rapid speed.

Why would he go to the stairwell alone?

Did the suspect ask him to go?
This possibility is not impossible. If He Tianxin is threatened with his family, he will definitely obey.

After all, he is living now for the safety of his family.

If this is the case, there is a new problem.

How did the suspect contact him?
When Yu Dazhang went to He Tianxin to question him before, he noticed that he didn't have a mobile phone.

So it is impossible for the suspect to call him directly.

Let someone else take the message?
That's impossible. This method is too stupid.

Through surveillance, the person who brought the message will be quickly identified, and through him the suspect will be found.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Yu Dazhang had already arrived at the stairwell.

Concentrate your thoughts.

He first looked around the first floor, and after making sure there was no trace of He Tianxin, he went up all the way to the third floor.

no one?

When he was hesitating whether to continue going up, he suddenly smelled a salty and fishy smell with a hint of rust.

The smell of human blood!
He looked up and the smell came from above.

Not daring to delay, he walked quickly upstairs, with his right hand on the holster, ready to draw his gun at any time.

Fourth floor, fifth floor...

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and Yu Dazhang's heartbeat accelerated.

Finally, at the corner of the fifth floor, he saw He Tianxin lying on his side.

His eyes were closed, his body was curled up, four fingers were missing from his right hand, and blood was still flowing out from the severed fingers.

Next to him was a kitchen knife and four fingers.

The kitchen knife was new, and the packaging that had just been opened was placed next to it.

"He Tianxin, He Tianxin..."

Yu Dazhang pulled out his pistol and shouted at him a few times. Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Dazhang carefully walked around him and went up another half a floor.

After reaching the sixth floor, he looked up through the gap in the stairs and found nothing unusual.

Then he quickly walked out of the stairwell, came to the nurse's station, and shouted to the nurse inside:
"Someone is injured in the stairwell, on the fifth and a half floor, call a doctor quickly."

After the nurse agreed, Yu Dazhang returned to the stairwell and walked up two floors.

After making sure that there was no one there, he returned to his position on the fifth and a half floor, took a few photos of the scene, and then stood there waiting for medical staff.

At this time, he had already made a rough judgment in his mind: the suspect should not have come.

the reason is simple.

If the suspect did it, he would not have left the murder weapon at the scene.

With his anti-reconnaissance awareness, how could he leave such important evidence to the police?

If the other party was so careless, Ding Feng would have caught him long ago.

Soon, several medical staff arrived at the scene and brought a stretcher.

"Don't touch the kitchen knife on the ground. It's evidence."

Saving lives is important, but Yu Dazhang also has to protect the scene as much as possible.

After the doctor performed emergency treatment on He Tianxin's wound, he was carried away on a stretcher.

"These four fingers..." One of the doctors looked at Yu Dazhang, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yu Dazhang waved his hand:

"Take it, take it."

After a severed finger, the best time to reattach it is within six to eight hours.

It has only been an hour since He Tianxin came out of the ward, and his finger can be completely reattached.

However, in Da Zhang's opinion, taking him back would mean suffering again.

For someone whose life is counting down, there is really no need for it.

This is a bit like a murderer who committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but he did not die and was taken to the hospital by the police and rescued.

After he was cured, he was sentenced to death, but then collapsed again.

The incident a few days ago when Xiong Da killed his stepmother seemed to be the case.

As soon as the medical staff left, Yu Dazhang immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.

After the call was connected, he asked:

"Which floor is it on?"

"Ninth floor." Liu Miao answered on the other end of the phone, sounding a little nervous.

"I have found He Tianxin on the fifth floor." Yu Dazhang said quickly:
"But we can't rule out the possibility that the suspect is in the stairwell. Be careful when you come down. I'll go up to meet you now."

Although it has been roughly confirmed that the suspect has not been here, such things cannot be based on mere inference.

The two soon met on the seventh floor.

The moment they saw each other, they felt relieved but also disappointed.

After a while, the local police arrived and immediately blocked the stairwell, and technical personnel began to investigate the scene.

"Hello, we are from the provincial department and are here to investigate the finger-severance case."

Yu Dazhang took out his ID and shook it, then said to the leading police officer:

"I urgently need to know how many people's fingerprints are on the kitchen knife."

When the police officer heard that it was a case of severed fingers, his expression immediately became serious.

This case has long been known throughout Province S, and has become even more bizarre recently.

The serial case formed by the nine cases involved nine wrongful convictions, which is equivalent to combining eighteen cases into one.

Not to mention the young policemen, even the old detectives who have been in the police force for half their lives have never seen such a complicated case.

The two wrongful cases recently uncovered by Yu Dazhang have not yet been made public, but in fact, eleven wrongful cases have been uncovered now.

"How soon can we reach a conclusion?" the police officer asked a technical staff member who was conducting an investigation.

The man didn't even raise his head and continued to work:
"ten minutes."

"Trouble." Yu Dazhang was very satisfied with this reaction.

Because this is what Qian Cheng looked like when he was investigating the scene.

Focused, rigorous, and undistracted.
