After entering the house, the first thing Chen Bai saw was the mourning hall hanging in the living room.
"The body hasn't been brought back yet. Are you a little too anxious?"
Chen Bai was a little confused, but the man shook his head and said.
"I understand my wife. She likes to be quiet. If I do, her soul will come back. Places like the morgue are too noisy. I don't like it and my wife won't like it either."
Chen Bai didn't say anything, but began to look at the house. The house was very large and all the furniture was available, but what Chen Bai couldn't understand was why there was a large cabinet as tall as one person in such a high-end place.
"When did your wife start to suffer from depression?"
Although these things have been written down in the medical record, Chen Bai is still prepared to ask. After all, it is impossible to discover this kind of thing immediately. And husbands can usually find something wrong with their wives. Of course, this is only one aspect, and the other is
On the one hand, it was because Chen Bai wanted to see if Li Yan's husband was suspected.
"Comrade police, please sit down first!"
After the three of them sat down, the man said.
"Actually, Li Yan's mental state has never been very good. You also know that the events of the past few years have impacted all walks of life. In fact, Li Yan's company was already on the verge of collapse at that time. But okay
At that time, Li Yan used her business talent to turn the tide and solve the troubles at that time. However, from that time on, Li Yan's spirit was not very normal. First, she often suffered from insomnia, and then she was idle.
She was talking to herself. What surprised me the most was that one day she told me that she could hear crying at home."
"Crying? Do you have children?"
The man shook his head. Chen Bai was a little surprised how could Li Yan hear the cry?
"Of course we don't have children, and these cries are definitely not the cries of a child. But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that I can't hear the cries she said at all."
"When did this happen?"
The man thought for a while and said.
"She said it was the year before last when she started crying. In fact, I thought my wife was too tired at the time, and it only happened once in a while. But then something went wrong. About a month later, my wife started crying every night.
Told me she could hear the baby crying."
"It was at this time that you went to the hospital, right?"
The man nodded and continued.
"I am a doctor myself, so I know that there are some problems that we cannot solve by ourselves, so I took my wife to the hospital. The doctor said that my wife was actually too nervous about the company's problems before, so she was like this.
I had hallucinations. After that, I gave my wife some soothing medicine, but after I got home, my wife didn’t feel better after taking it. Instead, it got worse and worse. She told me almost every night that she could hear the child’s screams.
Crying. But how come there are children crying in our house? Just because of my wife, I can’t sleep well every night."
"Can I go see the place where your wife fell?"
The man nodded, and then took Chen Bai and the two of them to the top floor.
"Because my wife said she could hear crying every day, I was really exhausted those days, but I didn't know what was wrong. I slept peacefully that day and didn't hear anything. Until someone came to knock on my door.
When I opened the door, I realized that my wife had fallen from the building."
"You go back and rest first! We can just take a look for ourselves!"
After the man left, Chen Bai began to carefully observe the rooftop. Because Li Yan's family lived on the highest floor, the rooftop belonged to Li Yan's family. Chen Bai looked around and then looked at Xiao Wang behind him.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Wang was suddenly asked by Chen Bai and did not react for a while.
"Based on the situation at the scene and our forensic analysis, there were no other injuries on the deceased's body before he fell, so we can rule out the possibility that the murderer pushed the deceased from the top floor. Moreover, Li Yan's husband also provided us with surveillance video.
Judging from the video, it is very possible that the deceased fell down by himself."
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, Chen Bai shook his head.
"No, there are actually many things that don't make sense about this case. First of all, look at the camera on the top floor. Although this place is a private place in Li Yan's home, not everyone can come up to this rooftop. Why did Li Yan
Why install a camera in this place? If the camera is really installed because of insecurity, why is it the only one? Also, if it is according to what Li Yan’s husband said, Li Yan is too busy with work in the company.
People with mental problems are generally not very serious. But judging from the cases, Li Yan’s problem is definitely not that simple. Finally, it’s the monitoring. We can see from the monitoring that Li Yan’s problem is not that simple.
Yan acted very strangely before jumping off the building. Why was this strange behavior? Let’s go! I want to find the doctor who treated Li Yan.”
After leaving Li Yan's house, Xiao Wang took Chen Bai to Puzhou People's Hospital.
"Comrade police, I have already said that Li Yan's illness was caused by long-term mental stress. Why don't you believe it?"
The doctor seemed very busy, looking at cases while talking.
"We just want to know, when did Li Yan come to see you for the first time? Also, what medicines did you prescribe for Li Yan?"
"Chen Bai?"
The doctor turned his head and was obviously a little surprised when he saw Chen Bai.
"Who are you....."
Chen Bai was a little confused because he didn't seem to know this person in his mind.
"Chen Bai, don't you remember me? I'm Xia Liu!"
"It's you!"
Chen Bai was a little surprised. He grew up in an orphanage and didn't have many friends. Xia Liu was one of his few friends.
"Have you really become a doctor?"
Chen Bai was a little curious, because Xia Liu had told himself since he was very young that he must be a doctor, but he didn't expect that Xia Liu had actually become a doctor now.
"Of course, I'm a famous psychiatrist now."
Xia Liu was also very surprised, she didn't expect to meet Chen Bai here.
"Xia Liu, now is not the time for us to reminisce about the past. We are currently investigating a case. A patient named Li Yan who was treating you here committed suicide not long ago by jumping off a building. We now want to ask you, who was Li Yan who came to see you here for medical treatment at that time?
Did you notice anything wrong at that time?"
Xia Liu thought for a while, scratched his head and said.
"I really don't know about this. You have also seen that I have many patients here every day. In fact, when Li Yan came, it was not so serious. At most, it was moderate depression. In fact, patients with Li Yan's level only need
It will not become more serious if you actively cooperate with the treatment, relax and take medicine."
"So, what medicine did you give her?"
Xia Liu looked through the medical records and then said.
"Amitriptyline!"
After coming out of the hospital, Xiao Wang asked with some confusion.
"Consultant Chen, are you saying that Li Yan's husband is likely to be the murderer?"
"You can't say that, but the suspicion of Li Yan's husband cannot be ruled out so easily."
Chen Bai also has a headache now. Although Song Anchun has re-carried out an autopsy on Li Yan's body, Chen Bai feels that there will be no results.
"Consultant Chen, what should we do now?"
"Didn't you say that not long after Li Yan committed suicide, something happened to her best friends? Let's go ask her best friends first and see what results we can get."
At the police station, Song Anchun and Wu Di had already started re-doing the autopsy based on the photos of the crime scene.
"There were no external injuries on the body of the deceased. Judging from the position where the deceased fell, it seems that he was not thrown from the building by someone else."
When someone dies after falling from a building, the first thing to investigate is whether the deceased was thrown down while unconscious. But because there was a video of the deceased falling before he fell, there is no need to check this.
"Song Anchun, I detected a large amount of amitriptyline in the body of the deceased. Do you think the deceased was drugged?"
"Wu Di, are you confused? Didn't Chen Bai send you a message just now? Amitriptyline was prescribed by the deceased's doctor. The content of amitriptyline detected in Li Yan's body was abnormal.
Of?"
Song Anchun was a little helpless. She thought that the Puzhou forensic doctor must have missed something before and failed to examine it, but now it seems that there is no new discovery in the autopsy.
"You said Li Yan's best friend is a bar singer?"
"Yes, actually the term "best friends" is somewhat inappropriate. Li Yan and the two girls involved in the accident were high school classmates, but according to Li Yan's best friend, they have not seen each other since graduating from high school. Li Yan's family background
Okay, so Li Yan went abroad directly after graduating from high school. Later, they didn't meet after Li Yan returned to China, and they didn't meet again until their high school class reunion in 2019."
The two of them came to the bar while talking. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. The bar was not open at this time. There were only a few waiters cleaning inside. Xiao Wang was just about to talk when he came in, but was pulled directly by Chen Bai.
aside.
"Wait a minute, let's take a look first."
As soon as Chen Bai and Xiao Wang sat down, a waiter came over.
"I'm sorry, we're not open yet. You can come back in an hour!"
"We are friends of your boss, and we came to see him for something."
The waiter looked at Chen Bai a little confused, but still called the boss over.
"Boy, what's the matter?"
The bar owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and it was only then that Chen Bai asked Xiao Wang to take out his ID.
"boss....."
"Police officer, are you here to ask about Lin Yuzhen?"
Before Chen Bai opened his mouth, the boss guessed Chen Bai's intention.
"Yes, it is said that you all saw it at that time?"
In fact, Chen Bai still doesn't believe it. How could a person who you say is so good suddenly have fingerprints on his neck?
"Officer, let me tell you, this matter is definitely not that easy. Lin Yuzhen must have offended the gods at some point."
"Tell me first what's going on!"
Chen Bai didn't believe it, but when the boss saw Chen Bai's look, he said seriously.
"Officer, I know you don't believe this. In fact, I didn't really believe this before, but I believe it since the last time I witnessed it with my own eyes. I remember that the weather was very hot that day, and the air conditioner in the store broke down for some reason.
I quickly hired someone to repair it, because that was the first day I invited the band to the bar. At that time, Lin Yuzhen was adjusting the sound with the band people. At this time, I saw something was wrong with Lin Yuzhen's appearance. She seemed very tired.
, but before I could say anything, Lin Yuzhen knocked down the drum set next to her, and then her body kept twitching on the ground. It was at this time that I saw a clear fingerprint on Lin Yuzhen's neck,
To be honest, I was almost scared to death when I saw that handprint."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Could you please call Lin Yuzhen over?"
The boss nodded. After the boss left, Xiao Wang pulled Chen Bai's clothes and whispered.
"Consultant Chen, have you seen it? I said this is very evil, right? I know you don't believe this, but there are some things you have to believe."
Chen Bai didn't say anything. In fact, in Chen Bai's opinion, he never believed in things like ghosts and monsters.
"Comrade police, you are looking for me."
While Chen Bai and Xiao Wang were talking, Lin Yuzhen arrived.
"Lin Yuzhen, can..."
"Comrade police, this is revenge against the mountain god."
Chen Bai and Xiao Wang looked at each other. They didn't understand what the mountain god's revenge was.
"what do you mean?"
"Comrade police, I have nothing left to do. I am already very sad about the death of my friend. I really have nothing to say."
After Lin Yuzhen finished speaking, she stood up and left. Xiao Wang wanted to say something more but was stopped by Chen Bai.
"Okay, if she really doesn't want to say it, we won't tell her no matter how we ask her."
Just now, Chen Bai changed his attention. If they were like this, then this case would be interesting.
"Come on, if that's the case, let's go ask the girl who was suddenly pushed by a ghost on the road!"
Song Ya was a typical southern girl. She was less than 1.6 meters tall and weighed less than 90 pounds, which made her look very thin. When Chen Bai found her, she had just handed the coffee in her hand to the guest.
"Store manager, I'm asking for ten minutes' leave. The police are looking for me."
Chen Bai and Xiao Wang did not go in, but just waited outside.
"Comrade police, are you here to investigate Li Yan's matter or what happened to me last week?"
"When did you and Li Yan meet?"
Chen Bai didn't mention what happened last week. Song Ya heard Chen Bai ask this and thought about it before speaking.
"Li Yan and I were classmates in high school. At that time, the six of us lived in a dormitory. But since high school, Li Yan has taken care of me like a big sister. Our relationship is very good."
"In your opinion, does Li Yan look like a suicidal person?"
When Song Ya heard Chen Bai ask this, she shook her head and said.
"I don't know what Li Yan is like now, but I'm sure that when she was in high school, Li Yan was a girl with a good personality."
"Have you not seen Li Yan since you graduated from high school?"
Song Ya nodded, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"We separated after graduating from high school, and we haven't seen each other since."
Chen Bai nodded, asked a few more questions and left, but Chen Bai never asked about Song Ya being inexplicably pushed down on the road.
"Consultant Chen, why didn't you ask her about being pushed down on the road?"
"Haven't you discovered it yet? Whether it's Song Ya or Lin Yuzhen, they are hiding something intentionally or unintentionally. This issue is probably related to Li Yan's death, but they are refusing to talk about it now."
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and lit it. This case might not be as simple as he thought.
"Let's go back first! Maybe we should check their high school years."
After returning to the police station, Chen Bai immediately asked Zhang Zhuo to investigate whether anything happened to several people in high school. Zhang Zhuo was also very fast and found out several people in less than two hours.
High school where you are.
"Li Yan's high school at that time was the No. 1 High School in Shang'an Xincun, Puzhou, which was a boarding school. In addition to Song Ya and Lin Yuzhen, the people who were in the same dormitory with Li Yan at that time were Zhou Xiuping, Wang Aili and Liu Shan
.but....."
Zhang Zhuo suddenly stopped when he said this, and Chen Bai asked with some doubts when he saw Zhang Zhuo's look.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"It's like this. In fact, something happened that year. Just before the college entrance examination, six people in Li Yan's dormitory were infected with pneumonia. As a result, none of the six people took the college entrance examination. Then, a month after the college entrance examination, a few people
We went to Longcheng Mountain together."
Li Huan was shocked when he heard the name and asked quickly.
"Longcheng Mountain? Did they go there when there was a mudslide in Longcheng Mountain? I remember there seemed to be this news."
As Li Huan spoke, his fingers kept tapping the keyboard, and soon a piece of news appeared on the big screen.
"When there was a mudslide in Longcheng Mountain, the Puzhou City rescue team rescued five girls from Longcheng Mountain. It is said that another girl was killed at that time."
"Yes, the girl who was killed at that time was Liu Shan."
After Zhang Zhuo finished speaking, Chen Bai suddenly remembered that Lin Yuzhen said that the mountain god was angry. Could it be related to this?
"By the way, what are the results of your autopsy?"
"No, based on the circumstances of the crime scene, it can be concluded that the deceased committed suicide."
The case seems to have reached a deadlock here. If Zhang Zhuo had investigated it himself, he would have probably ended the case with suicide. But Chen Bai, who had received so many clues, felt more and more that Li Yan could not have committed suicide.
"Look, Li Yan is good-looking, rich, and has the ability to turn the company around when it's about to go bankrupt. Someone who can do this cannot be a weak-hearted person. We..."
