When they heard the words "bad news", everyone who was about to have dinner suddenly lost their appetite.
Officer Wang put down his chopsticks and asked slowly: "Is there any good news?"
"Ah?" Officer Xiaozhuang was a little confused.
"That is, when you bring bad news, can't you also bring good news? Then one good news and one bad news." Officer Wang said.
"Harmful!" Seeing that Officer Wang didn't forget to make fun of himself at this time, Officer Xiaozhuang really couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly explained:
"Captain Wang, you're really not joking. You may have gone too far this time."
"What do you mean?" Officer Wang asked, waving his hand.
"That's right, the old man who guards the island..."
"Are you critically ill again?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's not that he is critically ill, but... he is dead." Officer Xiaozhuang held it in for a long time before telling the final truth.
It was also after Officer Xiaozhuang finished speaking that the scene suddenly became deathly quiet.
Gu Chen frowned slightly and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Why didn't he?"
"I don't know." Officer Xiaozhuang shook his head:
"Our Team Guo is still investigating. He was a good person before, and his condition seemed to be getting better. But suddenly, he disappeared. It's too suspicious."
"Didn't you, Captain Guo, have more manpower to keep an eye on it? Why are there so few people right under your nose?"
Gu Chen didn't understand. In other words, he had specifically reminded Guo Qiang before that this old man who was guarding the island was the key to the entire case.
But at that time, Guo Qiang still turned a deaf ear to Gu Chen's concerns, but now he has simply disappeared.
This is equivalent to all the previous investigation clues starting to become confusing again at this moment.
What made Gu Chen even more confused was that a person whose condition was improving was in the ICU ward and just disappeared like that?
If you are critically ill, you can at least get early warning.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly put down his chopsticks and walked directly out the door.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she immediately prepared to follow.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha stood up, but they both knew very well that they had to stay in the hospital to protect Gu Jun and Zhang Li, so they did not follow.
Officer Xiaozhuang's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly asked Gu Chen who was walking out: "Gu Bureau, where are you going?"
"Go to the ward of the old man who guards the island." Gu Chen also sighed and said.
By now, Gu Chen felt that the situation was getting more and more critical.
Moreover, danger is everywhere.
What I was worried about before seems to be happening now.
Officer Xiaozhuang also looked helpless and could only follow Gu Chen to the hospital parking lot.
Everyone drove all the way from the People's Hospital to the Second People's Hospital.
Afterwards, everyone ran directly towards the IUC ward.
When we arrived at the door of the ICU ward where the old island guard lived, a group of police officers were already surrounding us.
The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Gu Chen didn't say much, walked directly to the door of the ICU and asked a young police officer at the door: "Is Captain Guo Qiang and Guo inside?"
"Here...here." After hearing Gu Chen's words, the young police officer also nodded silently.
Gu Chen sighed and opened the door directly.
At this time, Guo Qiang was sitting alone on a chair in the ward, with his hands folded and holding his chin.
And when he saw Gu Chen walking in the door, Guo Qiang also seemed a little embarrassed.
Gu Chen just looked at Guo Qiang and immediately walked towards the hospital bed.
At this moment, a doctor with an expert image was still making final arrangements for the island guard's condition.
Lu Weiwei gently came to the hospital bed, glanced at the old man who was the island guard, who had expired, sighed quietly, and shook her head helplessly.
"Captain Guo." Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Guo Qiang beside him.
"Gu Bureau, things have happened." Guo Qiang also looked very remorseful at this moment.
Gu Chen continued to ask: "Why did the person disappear?"
"Currently, it appears that he died of suffocation," Guo Qiang said.
"Who did it?" Hearing such a reply, Gu Chen felt incredible.
After all, Guo Qiang had been asked to send manpower, but upon hearing this reply, it was obvious that the old man had been murdered.
But at this moment, Guo Qiang looked annoyed. He kept scratching his hair and sighed heavily: "I don't know."
"Where's the monitoring?" Gu Chen asked again.
However, at this moment, Guo Qiang lowered his head even further.
At this moment, Gu Chen felt that something was wrong.
So Gu Chen looked at the young police officer next to him.
The young police officer replied to Gu Chen in a very low voice: "The surveillance camera is broken, and the surveillance camera in this building cannot capture the image."
"Huh!" After hearing such a reply, Gu Chen knew that it was Shuke and his gang who had done something good.
But if the scene is really as Guo Qiang said, and there are personnel on duty at the scene, then it is impossible for this situation to happen.
Previously, there was only one police officer assigned to the scene, and no other police officers were on duty.
Maybe Guo Qiang thinks it's not necessary.
As for a police officer, according to normal logic, if the family members are not at the scene, the police officer cannot stay in the room all the time, and may leave briefly due to various physiological problems.
But at this time, there is often a loophole.
So this is why, when Gu Chen judged that the old man who guarded the island was the key to the entire case, he called Guo Qiang and asked Guo Qiang to send more manpower.
But now, it seems that everything is too late, Guo Qiang doesn't seem to carry out what he wants.
Lu Weiwei, who was on the side, carefully asked the young police officer just now: "What on earth is going on?"
"It's not very clear." The young police officer replied in a low voice: "Our colleague is here to watch, but there is only one person."
"Besides, when you stay here, do you need to use the restroom? Do you need to buy something to eat? So, I left several times briefly, but the time was very short."
"I didn't expect that when my colleague went downstairs to get takeout, the person who came upstairs became exhausted."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But at that time, my colleague didn't react yet. He didn't realize it until he saw something abnormal in the instrument. But when the doctor rushed over, the person had already run out of breath."
Turning his head and glancing at the doctors around him, the young police officer continued to remind in a low voice: "These doctors have tried various methods of resuscitation, but there is still no hope. The cause of death is initially judged to be suffocation."
"Someone used cloth to suffocate the deceased alive, and the deceased was not yet awake at the time and was in a coma."
Having said this, the young police officer also sighed heavily, feeling very sorry.
Hearing this, Lu Weiwei's lungs almost exploded with anger, and she also looked at Guo Qiang aside.
At this moment, Guo Qiang has long since lost his energy. He knows that he has made a major mistake, and he is also very upset at this moment.
"Where are the patient's family members?" Gu Chen turned to look at the young police officer and continued to ask:
"Where is the patient's daughter? Wasn't she here before?"
"I am here, but because I had something to do at home, I said hello and went back. I am still dealing with my own affairs."
"Her father is gone, and she is still dealing with her own affairs? What is more important than her father's death?" Lu Weiwei felt a little baffled when she heard this.
But the young police officer quickly made a silent sign language gesture towards Lu Weiwei and reminded:
"Keep your voice down, I don't dare to tell others yet."
"What?" Lu Weiwei was originally asked to keep her voice down, but when she heard the young police officer's remarks, Lu Weiwei's voice suddenly became high-pitched.
Everyone in the ICU ward was so shocked that they all looked at Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei, who realized that she had lost her temper, quickly complained to the young police officer:
"It's so unkind of you to do this. My father is gone, and you're still hiding it from me. If people find out, why don't they start a fight with you?"
"I know, this is not... this is not..."
As if there was something unspeakable, the young police officer's eyes immediately glanced at Guo Qiang who was standing aside.
Everyone looked at Guo Qiang and instantly understood what he meant.
"I know." Lu Weiwei sighed and came directly to Guo Qiang, reminding her:
"Let me tell you, Captain Guo, sooner or later the family will know about this matter. You should at least notify us."
"Yes, notices are required." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Guo Qiang sighed heavily, as if he had made some kind of determination, and waved his hand at the young police officer:
"You call the deceased's family and inform them of the situation."
"Ah? Ah?" It seemed like a chore. The young police officer pointed at himself with a look of surprise on his face.
"Ah what? You were quite right just now, weren't you?" Guo Qiang didn't seem to like him. He glared and frightened the young police officer so much that he quickly took out his mobile phone and said reluctantly:
"Okay then, I'll fight."
As soon as the words fell, the young police officer began to walk towards the door.
At this time, Guo Qiang walked up to Gu Chen, patted Gu Chen's shoulder heavily, looked up at Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Bureau, you are very considerate and have already anticipated that these people might take action against this old man."
"I've already reminded you so clearly." Gu Chen was also a little angry with Guo Qiang at this moment.
After all, if the old man who was the island guard could be saved, then the intensity of the case might be a breakthrough.
After all, based on the analysis of the information obtained by Gu Chen, this old man is the key.
Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Why is it scary? It was supposed to be a matter of doing your job well and you could live in peace, but Guo Qiang screwed it up.
But Guo Qiang was defending himself at this moment: "Actually, I have been arranging manpower since you called me before."
"It's just that my people have been sent out to investigate the casino and Shuke's whereabouts, so I can't allocate manpower for a while."
"I just thought that after these people come back, I would send a few more people over."
With a faint sigh, Guo Qiang also waved his hand: "I won't say it anymore. It was my mistake. I was careless. I didn't expect that these people actually touched the hospital directly."
"What's going on in the control room?" Seeing Guo Qiang being so frustrated, Gu Chen quickly asked.
After Guo Qiang blinked, he continued to explain: "The system in the monitoring room suddenly malfunctioned, and all the pictures turned into snowflake shapes. Only part of it can work normally, and the others seem to need various repairs."
"Take me to have a look." As soon as Guo Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen said simply.
Guo Qiang was stunned, and after a few seconds of stiffness, he nodded slightly and agreed: "Okay, then... come with me."
Turning around, Guo Qiang reluctantly led Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei directly towards the hospital's monitoring room.
When everyone pushed the door open, a middle-aged policeman wearing glasses was communicating with several staff members in work clothes.
Seeing Guo Qiang and others coming in, the middle-aged policeman wearing glasses hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old Guo, this system has been hacked. It must be a hacker."
"Are you sure?" Guo Qiang asked.
"Sure." said the bespectacled man of the second-level police inspector.
"Damn it." Hearing this, Guo Qiang suddenly lost his composure.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked around a few times and asked the men in work clothes:
"Can these lost images be restored?"
The few staff members who were just doing their own work just now reacted and turned to glance at Guo Qiang behind them.
One of the staff members shook his head and said: "It seems there is no other way."
"Aren't you technicians in this field?" Guo Qiang seemed to want to persist.
But the other party sighed helplessly: "We direct the installation of equipment. These are software problems, not hardware problems."
"The other party hacked into the hospital's monitoring system and then paralyzed some of the monitoring equipment."
"If you want to repair this thing, it probably won't take more than a few days."
"Yeah." At this time, another staff member echoed: "The other person should be an expert. Although I majored in computer software, I feel like I met an expert this time."
"And the other party should be a professional hacker. This kind of technology may not be possible for ordinary people."
"Are there any talents in this field in Haidong City?" After hearing what the man said, Gu Chen quickly asked.
Several staff members looked at each other, and then the man who said he majored in computer software shook his head and explained:
"In fact, today's hacker technology can control everything remotely. You don't need to stay in Haidong City to accomplish this."
"Then how did you provide the loophole?" Gu Chen asked directly.
"Ah?" The man was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Gu Chen meant.
"The other party seems to be very familiar with the monitoring situation in your hospital." As he spoke, Gu Chen walked directly to the crowd and pointed at the big screen and said:
"These damaged parts of the surveillance system all revolve around the ICU ward of the deceased."
"The fact that other parts are specifically bypassed shows that the other party is very aware of the monitoring distribution of your hospital."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to explain: "Without an on-site inspection of the monitoring distribution in your hospital, it would be difficult to do this just by relying on remote operations."
