After getting the useful clues, Luo Fei hurriedly thanked him and led everyone out of the police station.
"Team leader, you said that Zhou Guohua's family went to another place immediately after the death of their child. Is it possible that it was because of a guilty conscience and that he felt unworthy of his brother's family?"
Zhang Wei looked guessing. road.
"It is indeed possible." Luo Fei nodded solemnly, opened the car door and sat in.
Everyone got in the car, and He Xin, who was in charge of driving, asked, "Team leader, where should we go next?"
"Go to Zhou Guoan's house first to find out the situation."
Arrived It was probably around nine o'clock in the evening at Zhou Guoan's house.
At this time, Zhou Guoan had already turned off the lights and rested, but he never fell asleep.
Hearing some movement outside, he quickly got up and opened the door.
Seeing Luo Fei and others outside the door, he was a little surprised, "Comrade police, what do you want from me so late?"
"Uncle Zhou, I have a situation I want to tell you about. You and your elder brother How is the relationship between Zhou Guohua and his family?"
To save time, Luo Fei asked directly.
Zhou Guoan was obviously stunned by this question for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Very good, we are brothers, so the relationship must be good."
"Then After Zhou Kairui disappeared, did they come to help search for him or come to visit you? ”
"No, his grandson was also sick at that time. The child had a heart disease since he was a child and needed surgery in the city hospital, so the whole family was taken care of in the hospital."
"There was no time to come back, and I didn't I didn’t notify them because I didn’t want them to worry... I didn’t know about it until they came back from the hospital.”< br>
"Then after they found out, did they come to your house to visit you?"
"They did. After my nephew and niece learned about Ruirui, they brought a lot of things to visit that night. He also persuaded us a lot..."
"What about your brother and the others?"
"No, Yucheng's illness requires rest, and they can't get away."
Zhou Yucheng is really Zhou Guohua's grandson who died of heart disease.
In fact, after hearing this, Luo Fei was certain that Zhou Guohua was running away from his own brother with a guilty conscience.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, two brothers who are closely related will definitely rush to visit as soon as they hear that something is going on at each other's home.
And the distance between the two families is not far. It only takes ten or twenty minutes to walk at most. Even if you have to take care of your grandson, you can't spare this time no matter what.
"Uncle Zhou, what happened after that? Did you see Zhou Guohua, your eldest brother and sister-in-law?" At home, they also have to take care of their children, so they don’t have time to meet each other.”
“It wasn’t until the morning of September 3rd that I heard from Daming that Yu Cheng’s child suddenly fell ill the night before and was sent to the city for emergency treatment. ”
“I planned to go take a look, but I didn’t know that I got a call from Daming just as I walked into the town, saying that my wife had drunk pesticide... After the child’s accident, I found something was wrong with her, and she kept talking about it all day I want to go down and stay with my child.”
“I watched her every day during that time, just because I was afraid that she would do something stupid. It had been so long since I thought about it. She must have thought about it. I don’t know. It's all my fault..."
As Zhou Guoan spoke, he suddenly began to hammer his head with regret.
"It's not all your fault. People can't be resurrected after death, so don't blame yourself, Uncle Zhou."
Luo Fei hurriedly stopped his movements and said a few words of comfort.
When Zhou Guoan gradually calmed down, he continued to ask about what happened next.
“Then I rushed back and sent my mother to the county hospital with Daming, but after rescuing her for a long time, she still couldn’t be saved, and I was not in the mood to care about anything else.”
< br>
"After we finished arranging my wife's funeral, we heard that Zhou Yucheng also went to my eldest brother's house on the night of her death because the rescue efforts failed."
"After hearing the news, I wanted to go to my eldest brother's house to visit They, it turned out that no one was at home. When I called them, I found out that they were too sad, so they just went to work with their nephews and nieces and took some time to relax. "
"After that, they only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year, and they always left after visiting the grave and burning incense sticks. I never encountered them."
" So that means you haven’t seen your elder brother since Zhou Kairui’s accident?”
“Well, that’s right”
"So do you usually keep in touch by phone?"
"I called them a few times at first, but my eldest brother rarely answered the phone. Sometimes he would hang up without even saying a few words. My nephew said It's because Yu Cheng hit him so hard that I rarely hit him again."
"Only occasionally. Call your nephew and ask them how they are doing."
"Is there any difference in your nephew's attitude towards you before the incident and after the incident?"
"Comrade police? , Why are you asking these questions? Do you suspect that Ruirui's death is related to my nephew? How is this possible..."
"Uncle Zhou, calm down first. We have no doubts about him. This is just a normal investigation process. Anyone who has contact with your family needs to be carefully investigated based on their proximity."
In the absence of absolute evidence, Before, Luo Fei would definitely not express his suspicions.
And even if he said it, Zhou Guoan would definitely not believe it.
After all, who would have thought that brothers who are related by the same blood would do such a cruel and vicious thing to their own grandson.
Zhou Guoan didn't have much education, so he was quickly dismissed by his words.
"My nephew's treatment of me is still the same as before, there is no change. Moreover, during the Chinese New Year last year, he came to see me specially. Before leaving, Fei Fortress gave me 20,000 yuan to buy some supplements to replenish my health."
“I didn’t want him, and he dropped the money and ran away. Later, I asked Daming to transfer it to him using his mobile phone, but he didn’t accept it... Even if my nephew is in our village, he is the only one.”
Zhou Guoan said with a bit of pride.
"We all know the good situation. Uncle Zhou, you should go to bed early. Let's leave first."
After Luo Fei said this, he refused Zhou Guoan's offer to stay, turned around and left Zhou Home.
As soon as they got in the car, Zhang Wei and the other two people immediately reasoned.
"There's a problem. This Zhou Guohua has something up his sleeve at first glance!"
"That's right, such a big thing has happened to my brother's family, so he has to come to visit him. "The behavior is too abnormal."
"Rural people are the worst. What matters is blood and family ties, and their whole family has problems!"
"And the 20,000 yuan that Zhou Guoan just mentioned, I think it is more out of some kind than the younger generation's filial piety to the elders! Compensation in the sense of seeking peace of mind.”
...
The three of them had a heated discussion for a long time, only to realize that Luo Fei had not spoken.
On the contrary, he kept frowning, as if he was distressed about something.
Zhang Wei said hurriedly, "Team leader, why don't you say anything? Do you think our guess is wrong?"
"No, I think your guess is very reasonable." Then how do you..."
"I was thinking about a question. If the murderers were really Zhou Guohua's family, then how did they take Zhou Kairui away and where did they kill him and take his heart."
Luo Fei said He sighed and said, "Three years have passed since this case, and all the evidence at that time is probably no longer available, so how are we going to convict?"
The excitement on the faces of these people instantly faded a lot.
In the current judicial system, judging whether a person is guilty or not mainly depends on whether the relevant factual evidence is sufficient and clear, and the suspect's testimony only accounts for a small part.
In other words, even if they find Zhou Guohua's family and make them admit their crime of murder, if there is no relevant evidence to support their murder, they cannot be convicted.
After a brief silence, Luo Fei's cell phone rang. It was Liao Xingyu calling.
"Luo Fei, have you found any clues there?"
"We went to the police station in the town... and according to Zhou Guoan, Zhou Guohua never returned after the accident. I have met him, but Zhou Guohua’s son Zhou Dahu was very generous to him. He even gave him 20,000 yuan a year ago.”
After hearing what they learned, Liao Xingyu, who had been handling the case for many years, also sensed something was wrong. .
But he directly made a conclusion and asked, "Luo Fei, what do you think?"
"We all think there is something wrong with this family, but the point now is that if we can't find evidence, even if It’s useless to make sure they have a problem.”
“…This is indeed the case. Question. We have just come out of the county hospital, so we will rush back to the city and go to the city hospital to find out the situation."
"I also want to go there, so you can stop in the county for a while. Let’s go back together.”
“Alright.”
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the cardiac surgery nurse station of the city hospital.
"Hello, comrades, who is the person in charge of your department? We are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment and would like to find out more about the situation from your person in charge."
Luo Fei showed his ID and said to said a young nurse.
"The person in charge of our department is Director Wang Honggang, but he is off work now."
"Then who is the person in charge here now?"
"It's our head nurse, but she and Dr. Lin are currently rescuing patients in the next ward. I may have to trouble you to wait..."
"Okay, okay."
"Then you guys Go and sit for a while, and I will call for you when she comes out."
Thanking the nurse, Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu sat down on the bench in the corridor.
After waiting for about ten minutes, several medical staff finally came out of a ward at the end of the corridor.
When the little nurse saw this, she immediately walked up.
"Doctor Lin, Sister Wang, is the patient in bed 23 okay?"
"Yes, he is out of danger for the time being, but you still need to pay more attention. Remember to check in every half an hour. Go and have a look."
"I know, by the way, Sister Wang, two comrades from the public security department are looking for you..."
The nurse named Sister Wang followed her fingers. He saw Luo Fei and his two men beside them.
"Okay, I understand, you go and do your work."
Wang Yan said and walked towards Luo Fei and the others.
"Hello, comrades police, I am Wang Yan, the head nurse of the cardiac surgery department. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Hello, head nurse Wang, can I delay you for a while? Find a place to chat in a few minutes? We want to know something about you."
"Oh, come with me."
Wang Yan took him and Liao Xingyu to the doctor's office nearby.
“Two comrades, you ask.”
“That’s it, Nurse Wang, do you remember that you admitted a four-year-old patient named Zhou Yucheng three years ago? "My son?"
"He should have been with you in May three years ago. We had an operation here and died in September due to worsening condition... These are photos of the child’s parents. See if you have any impression.”
Luo Fei didn’t find Zhou Yucheng’s photo, so he could only refer to it. The photo of Chow Tai Fook and his wife that was copied at the police station was handed to her.
"I seem to have some impression of this couple..."
Wang Yan repeatedly stared at the two photos thoughtfully, but hesitated to make a conclusion. Finally, she suddenly shouted out the door. , "Xiaofang, come and take a look?"
Soon a nurse ran in, "Sister Wang, did you call me?"
"Xiaofang, please help me find out. Are these two the same couple who ignored the pre-operative warning and almost caused a medical accident by feeding their child random food? At that time, our entire hospital held a special meeting to discuss this?"
Xiaofang looked at the photo she handed over and nodded quickly, "Yes, it's them!"
"That's right." Wang Yan returned the phone to Luo Fei, "Comrade policeman, I do have some impressions of this child, but he did not undergo surgery in our hospital."
"No?" Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu looked surprised.
“But what we learned is that he once had an operation in your hospital.”
“He almost had to have an operation in our hospital at that time, but then he got sick. There are some circumstances, so it was not completed.”
“What happened, Nurse Wang, tell me quickly”
"It's like this. This child is a typical case of congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension."
"As medicine is so advanced now, this disease is not completely untreatable, and there is still a lot of hope for recovery through surgery. At first we The doctor also suggested that they have surgery as soon as possible. "
"But the family was afraid of the risks of surgery, so they kept putting it off. Instead, they insisted on getting some folk supplements for the child... When the child was four years old, he had a fever. Got a serious illness.”
"When he was sent to the hospital, the situation was already very dangerous. Fortunately, Director Wang and his colleagues were experienced and rescued the child. In order to avoid this situation happening again, Director Wang and several other attending doctors advised them Operate the child quickly.”
“But the family hesitated to make a decision. Later, they finally got through the ideological work of the child’s mother and relented and agreed to operate the child. As a result, the child’s father disappeared that afternoon. Know where it went.”
"In the end, the child's mother signed the consent form for the operation and scheduled the operation the next day. The child's father came back at midnight. The key point is that this is not the most annoying thing."
"Originally, we had My colleagues specifically told the family that they should fast for 12 hours before the operation. However, just before the operation, the couple secretly fed the child without telling us."
" If Xiaofang and the others hadn't found the table during their ward rounds the next morning, I asked the insulated bucket on top, otherwise I don’t know what accident would happen.”
Xiaofang hadn’t gone out yet. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but nod in agreement, “I didn’t know what happened.” Yes, I'm a little angry, because maybe this is going to "It was fatal."
"So I criticized them a few times, but they turned out to be more vicious than me. They yelled at us in the ward... Sometimes we encounter such unreasonable family members. It’s quite speechless.”
