In Car No. 4, the staff of the dining car delivered the set meals to the seats. The four quarreling couples began to eat. The other passengers also had their own dinners. Yu Xinxin's family of five went to the dining car next door to order.
The number of people in the dining car gradually increased, and it was obvious that people came from other cars to eat.
There were relatively few people in the sleeper car where Yu Hanjiang was, and the tour guide had the tour group's list directly. He quickly checked it out, came to the No. 5 dining car, and nodded towards Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou caught Captain Yu's gaze and turned around and walked over.
The two met in the tea room of the dining car.
Yu Hanjiang briefly talked about the situation in Car No. 6: "A tour group of 12 people, staying in rooms 1-3, departed from Sun City to Moon City and had to stay in the car for three days. The tour guide's full name is Qin Shi
Yue, everyone calls her Xiao Qin, is a recently graduated college student, 24 years old this year, very cheerful and talkative. She said that these elderly people are all retired employees, the youngest is 60 years old, the oldest is 70 years old, and they all worked in the same unit before retirement.
We have a very good relationship and often go on group tours together.”
Xiao Lou asked: "Where are the other passengers? Is there anything abnormal?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Room 4 is a family of four, and the parents took their two children to visit relatives out of town; rooms 5 and 6 are all individual travelers, who don't know each other and don't talk to each other. After getting in the car, they lowered their heads and looked at their mobile phones;
The remaining people in Rooms 7 and 8 were strangers to each other at first, but after chatting with each other, I found out that everyone was attending an academic conference, and they were all physics teachers from different high schools.”
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said: "It seems that there is little possibility of murders in other rooms. Most of them don't know each other. We still have to focus on this elderly tourist group - they used to be in the same unit, maybe
There is a grudge.”
Yu Hanjiang agreed: "Well, I have already obtained the full list of members of the tour group from the tour guide. Next, I will find out the details of each of these elderly people." He paused slightly, and then asked: "How is the situation over there?
"
Xiao Lou briefly talked about the results of his ticket check, as well as the incident where the couple had a fight and Jing Weiguang threw instant noodles on someone.
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "Two couples, a group of five best friends. It is easy for problems to arise in the relationship of this kind of group. Maybe they get along well on the surface, but the hatred has long been buried in their hearts."
Xiao Lou nodded: "I think so too. I'm focusing on these people... and Jing Weiguang, who is late. He is unknown to everyone, but his appearance is so special. Even if he is not the deceased and the murderer, he will definitely be
He is a key figure in promoting the plot.”
Xiao Lou looked at the dining car that was gradually filling up in front of him, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is also a dining car. Everyone in the entire train can come to the dining car to eat. Is it possible that the murderer directly poisoned the food?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Even if he was poisoned, it wouldn't be like this."
At this moment, someone happened to be passing by, and both Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou took a step back to make way for the passage.
After the man walked away, Yu Hanjiang continued: "In most murder cases, the murderer does not do it on a whim, but has a careful plan. When he got in the car, the murderer might not be familiar with the situation in the restaurant. If he really wanted to use poison,
The best way is to first inspect the environment of the restaurant, and you will be more confident if you start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Lou thought of another possibility and asked: "What if the crime was committed by a flight attendant? They should be very familiar with the train environment. It is very convenient to enter and exit the dining car. It would be easy to poison the food in the kitchen directly, right?"
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
For example, in the 3 of Hearts, the teacher committed the crime in the end. In the 4 of Hearts, maybe a perverted flight attendant will massacre the passengers?
While the two were analyzing, they suddenly saw a senior tourist group coming to the dining car to eat.
The spectacular team of 12 people immediately attracted the attention of people around them.
One of the bald old men complained: "Lao Li, the food in this dining car is too expensive. Let's go back to eat. Before I left, my son bought me a pack of snacks and I haven't even eaten them yet..."
The man named "Lao Li" was neatly dressed and older, but his hair was dyed very black. He looked energetic. He smiled and said: "Is this expensive? When I went to eat seafood before, I had one meal.
It's hundreds of thousands." He patted the other party's shoulder generously and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal!"
The bald old man's eyes immediately lit up: "Old Li is still happy!"
Someone next to me gossiped: "Lao Li, how much money can your son make in a year?"
Lao Li raised his eyebrows and pretended to be calm and said: "Not much, just a few hundred million."
Xiao Lou was shocked when he heard this - several hundred million, which is tens of millions when converted into RMB. This old man is actually the father of a rich man, and he doesn't know what his son does.
Yu Hanjiang immediately leaned into Xiao Lou's ear and said: "Li Zhemin, 66 years old, is the richest among this group of elderly people. According to the tour guide, he often invited guests to dinner along the way and often showed off how rich his son was.
How filial."
It is normal for the elderly to get together and talk about their sons and daughters. However, if one of them often shows off his children, it will arouse the resentment of others over time.
Especially back then, everyone was from the same work unit, with similar income levels, and the age of the children was probably about the same. As a result, Li Zhemin raised a son with assets of over 100 million, which would naturally attract the envy of others - and maybe also others.
Jealousy and hatred.
Xiao Lou carefully observed the expressions of these elderly people.
A few people who were close to Lao Li were full of envy and praised him: "Your son is the most promising!"
"I remember that your family, Xiao Li, was very well-behaved when he was a child. His grades were always the first in the school. He was also the top scorer in science during the college entrance examination. Alas, he is not like that bastard boy in our family. He can't even afford a house after working so far, and he still has to eat.
Lao, let me provide him with the down payment..."
An old lady with gray hair sighed softly and said: "At least your son is married and has two children. How wonderful is it that you take care of your grandchildren every day? My daughter is already thirty-three, and she only thinks about work and promotion.
, even if I ask her to go on a blind date, I’m so worried!”
Someone joked: "Lao Li's son is also single, why don't you introduce your daughter to him and you two can get married by the way?"
The old lady said: "I'm joking, my daughter is just an ordinary company employee, how can she be so high up as Mr. Li? Mr. Li is so rich and handsome, and the girls queuing up to chase him probably can't fit in the entire car.
Bar!"
"Hahaha, there are indeed many girls chasing him." Li Zhemin said with a distressed look, "However, my son has very high standards. He must find a smart, virtuous, beautiful and capable wife. The key is that he must be filial to me and meet the requirements.
There really aren’t many.”
"Your son has such good conditions. There are not many girls who can match him. You have to keep your eyes peeled and choose a daughter-in-law carefully."
"Of course." Li Zhemin said with a smile.
"By the way, Lao Li," someone changed the topic: "The real estate your son bought is in a good location. I just want to prepare a wedding room for my son. Can I get a discount?"
"No problem! If you want to buy, just tell me and I will ask my son to give you the internal price!" Li Zhemin assured boldly.
The three people at the same table with him were obviously the ones who had the best relationship with him. They kept praising his son during the chat. Some of them were asking for help from him and wanted to buy a house at a low price, while others were just following the trend and flattering him.
The expressions of the people at the other two tables were not so uniform. Some people sneered when they heard him bragging about his son's annual salary of more than 100 million; some people had indifferent expressions and seemed not to be interested in him bragging about his son at all.
There was even an old lady who whispered to her friend next to her when he talked about her son's criteria for choosing a mate: "Why doesn't his son find a fairy?" "Oh, his son inherited his genes and is only 1.68 meters tall.
My daughter is tall, but she only has some bad money."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
It seems that this elderly tourist group may also have problems.
Li Zhemin is too high-profile and doesn't understand the principle of "keeping one's wealth private". So praising his son like this can easily arouse people's disgust.
Not to mention his old colleague, Xiao Lou felt bad when he heard this. When other elderly people were worried that their children were not doing well in jobs, could not afford a house, and could not find a partner, Li Zhemin said that his son had an annual salary of over 100 million and was developing real estate.
, the requirements for finding a partner are extremely high.
This old man chats regardless of the occasion, his emotional intelligence is too low, and his vanity is very strong.
Just like the people in the circle of friends who show off their wealth every day, it makes people look disgusted.
There are actually many people like this in life. When most people encounter someone who likes to show off, they will just complain a few words in private. They shouldn't be so angry that they would directly kill someone, right?
Xiao Lou leaned into Yu Hanjiang's ear and asked softly: "Is there any connection between the couples group in Car No. 4 and the senior group in Car No. 6? Or is one of them just a distraction that deliberately misleads us?"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "The 3 Secret Room of Hearts, five people died in the whole plot."
Xiao Lou was shocked: "Yes, the girl who was pushed downstairs five years ago, the three murderers killed by the Avengers, plus Ying Xiaoya who was innocently implicated in the end... The difficulty of the 4 of Hearts will not be higher than that of the Red Peach."
Peach 3 is low, so there are likely to be multiple deceased people on this train?"
Yu Hanjiang said decisively: "There are so many people in Carriage 4 and Carriage 6. I speculate that the subsequent plot will be more complicated than Three of Hearts. We pay close attention to the movements of these people. Once we find anything, we will come to the dining car to meet up."
The 3 of Hearts has the most obvious "The Count of Monte Cristo" as a prompt item, and the case is related to revenge.
But 4 of Hearts, no obvious clues have been found so far.
Just as Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were about to turn around and return to the carriage, suddenly, a voice sounded in their headsets at the same time: "Dear train attendants, it's dinner time. Please return to Car No. 9 as soon as possible to receive your work meal."
The two of them looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts at the same time.
They must obey the instructions in the headset, but Car No. 9 is far away from here. Once they leave, they cannot predict what will happen in the car here.
Yu Hanjiang said: "It's still daytime, and it's unlikely that the murderer will kill directly. Let's go eat first."
This was the only option. Xiao Lou turned around and followed Captain Yu, quickly arriving at Car No. 9.
All the flight attendants on the train gathered here. Everyone received a working meal and sat at the table to eat and chat. Xiao Lou pricked his ears, but he didn't hear any useful information. Most of them were chatting about ordinary things.
He sat down face to face with Yu Hanjiang and opened his work lunch.
The food in the 4 Hearts Secret Room is really good. The set menu includes a generous portion of chicken steak, a golden omelette, a small plate of pickled radish, a plate of garlic romaine lettuce, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.
After not eating well for several days, Xiao Lou was so moved when he saw this set meal that he immediately took out the disposable chopsticks and started eating.
The two quickly finished the set meal and just picked up a tissue to wipe their mouths - when they heard the female announcer's voice.
There was obvious anxiety in the voice: "Broadcasting to find someone, are there any medical workers on the bus? Please hurry to Car No. 6, a child had an accident and urgently need the help of medical workers... Broadcasting to find someone, there are any medical workers on the bus."
There are no medical workers..."
The urgent broadcast was read twice in a row.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, quickly packed their lunch boxes, turned around and rushed to Car No. 6.
Yu Hanjiang said with a sullen face as he walked: "The only children in my carriage are the children of the young couple in Room 4. They are twins. They are both 3 years old this year and have just entered kindergarten."
Xiao Lou was worried: "The radio suddenly called for a doctor, but he didn't know what happened to the child."
During dinner time, the carriage was quite chaotic. In the middle of the aisle, there were people walking back and forth carrying cooked instant noodles. The two of them passed by sideways and soon arrived at carriage No. 6.
Yu Hanjiang strode to the door of Room 4.
I saw the young couple with anxious faces. The woman was holding her three-year-old son in her arms. The child's face was blue and his whole body was twitching violently. Xiao Lou followed him and immediately asked: "What's going on?!"
The woman cried and said: "I was feeding the child just now, and the child suddenly became like this..."
It is a suffocating spasm caused by the inhalation of foreign matter into the trachea.
Xiao Lou is also studying medicine. He understood what was going on when he saw the child. He took a step forward and was about to help. But the next moment, he saw a person rushing over: "What's going on? What's wrong with the child?"
Already?"
——It was actually Jing Weiguang from Car No. 4.
Before Xiao Lou could react, Jing Weiguang separated him and Yu Hanjiang, rushed into Room 4 through the gap between them, and said: "Give me the child!"
The woman's eyes were red, she looked back at the young boy with messy hair and wrinkled clothes in front of her, and asked blankly: "Who are you?"
Jing Weiguang said: "I am an emergency doctor, please give me the child quickly."
As if grasping at straws, the woman immediately handed the child over to him and hurriedly explained what had happened.
After Jing Weiguang heard this, he held the 3-year-old boy in his arms from behind and opened the child's clothes. He calmly stretched out his right hand, placed two fingers above the child's belly button, made a fist with his right hand, and wrapped it with his left hand.
With your right hand, strike backward and upward quickly.
The kid with a bruised face was kicked back by him five times in a row, and he coughed violently——
I saw a raisin the size of a fingernail being coughed up. The child's face and breathing gradually returned to normal. He was obviously very uncomfortable and cried "Wow".
Jing Weiguang handed the child back to the woman and warned: "Be careful when feeding the child, especially when the child is crying. Do not feed the child, as it can easily be sucked into the trachea. If this happens again next time, you guys
You can give first aid as I did just now."
While coaxing her son, the woman looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!"
Her husband also grabbed Jing Weiguang's hand, shook it hard, and said, "Thank you, doctor! What is your name and which hospital you are in? We, husband and wife, will definitely visit you later and give you a banner!"
Jing Weiguang's face turned slightly red, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, it's easy, cough, if nothing happens, I'll go back first..."
He turned around and ran away quickly, leaving Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looking at each other.
Yu Hanjiang walked over to confirm that the child was not in danger, and then turned around and came out.
Many passengers came over to watch, and they all sighed: "There are still many kind-hearted people!" "The kid is lucky, there happens to be a doctor on the bus..."
Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "He is the late Jing Weiguang. Unexpectedly, he is actually a doctor."
Just now, Jing Weiguang used the "Heimlich abdominal impact technique" commonly used in emergency departments. The technique is "scissors, rock, paper". The scissors refer to the two fingers above the navel; the rock refers to clenching one hand into a fist and pressing it against the abdomen.
In this position, use the other hand to wrap the "stone" like a cloth, and quickly impact it backward and upward, 5 times each round, until the child coughs out the foreign object.
The principle of this first aid method is to increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity to lift the diaphragm, thereby increasing the pressure in the chest cavity and allowing foreign matter to be discharged from the trachea. Children may accidentally inhale the trachea when eating, which can be fatal if the first aid is not timely.
Jing Weiguang ran to Car No. 4 to save the child and told the intruder: He was a doctor.
Xiao Lou said thoughtfully: "The couple in row 8, the two girls are also studying medicine, Yue Xiaoquan clinical medicine, Mo Jiaran nursing. It is definitely not a coincidence that there are so many medical majors in the carriage."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Perhaps it means that the murder method of this secret room is quite special. If the breaker does not have a medical-related major, he will not be able to solve the mystery. Therefore, there are so many doctors in the secret room in the plot. If the breaker does not understand, you can ask Jing Weiguang
?”
Jing Weiguang, a doctor who acted alone, is not very likely to be the deceased or the murderer.
Now it seems that Jing Weiguang's existence is more like an NPC that helps gamers judge medical-related knowledge?
