Central District, Jingqiao central hospital.

When Gao Cheng drove over with Zhongyuan Xiangzhi, Badao Dongshu had finished the treatment, and the attending doctor shook his head and announced the worst news.

Instead of waking up, Badao Dongshu stopped breathing forever, with no vital signs

When the doctor left, Zhongyuan Xiangzhi stood quietly beside the bed, looking at the cold body of her boyfriend.

Gao Cheng's line of sight sweeps through Zhongyuan Xiangzhi, avoids the nurses and calls in a corner outside the ward.

"So I don't need your help at all."

"But I've heard from the police department that it's going to be sent for examination tonight, right? The suspect died, and there is no way... "

At Didan primary school, Conan kept away from the children and held a telephone with an eardrop at the entrance of the stairs: "if it's just an investigation, wouldn't it be better for me to help?"

"Idiot, if you come here, those guys will not be at ease... If I ask a group of children to help, what will so many police officers think?" Gao Cheng looked at the direction of the ward, "no, I'll solve it."

The ward was still dead silent, different from the busy atmosphere outside, and no doctors or nurses paid attention to it, as if it had been abandoned.

After that, it will probably be transferred to the morgue

"Miss Zhongyuan..." Gao Cheng closes the door of the sick room and looks at Zhongyuan Xiangzhi. He doesn't know what to say.

"I... I killed..."

Zhongyuan Xiangzhi suddenly shed tears.

"I killed the winter tree..."

……

At the payment Office of the hospital, Gao Cheng settles the account, sorts out the documents, pauses and goes to the doctor's office in a deep voice.

Originally good, Zhongyuan Xiangzhi suddenly fainted in the ward, which almost made him at a loss

"Although anemia is not a big problem..." the attending doctor looked at the examination report, "in fact, Miss Zhongyuan has been pregnant for three months..."

"Can I talk to her?"

"I think there should be no problem... However, it may cause a burden on her spirit..."

"I'll pay attention to it. Just a moment," Gao chengning said, "a press conference may be held tonight. If we don't find new clues soon..."

Jiahe is still working hard near the Japanese bridge to find out the truth of the incident. He can't hold back.

Only if we find out that Badao is not the murderer can we get more time to investigate the case.

In the rest room, after Gao Cheng gets the doctor's approval, he sees the gaunt Zhongyuan Xiangzhi again.

"It's the child of Dongshu..." Zhongyuan Xiangzhi pressed her stomach silently, "I had a headache. When would I tell him..."

Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, organized his words and asked, "I heard that he had a criminal record in the past... Can he use knives?"

Zhongyuan Xiangzhi recalls shaking his head: "I don't know... But he doesn't have it now. I know better than he does what he has at home."

"Including personal effects?" Gao Cheng continued, "can you master it all?"

"Really," said Zhongyuan Xiangzhi seriously, "I know him better than anyone... The day before the accident, I helped him find the sock without holes..."

"But on the night of the crime, he took the victim's belongings and briefcase with him when he talked to you on the phone... At that time, he hid in the roadside green plant room and called and said," I'm sorry I'm going home at once. I'm so busy so late "..."

Gao Cheng looks directly at Zhongyuan Xiangzhi.

"Miss Zhongyuan, even so, can you say that you know him better than anyone else?"

"He told me!"

Zhongyuan Xiangzhi interrupts Gao Cheng, with tears in his eyes. He grabs his fingers tightly and says: "what should I do..."

Gao Cheng's eyes sank: "this is his last phone call?"

"That day, he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to wear socks without holes..."

Zhongyuan buried himself in a choking voice and could no longer suppress his emotion.

"I forced him to death. I blamed him for money. That's why he did that..."

Zhongyuan Xiangzhi sobbed and held his face helplessly: "it's all my fault. I killed him. I killed Dongshu..."

"What should not be done, what is the truth of the matter..." Gao Cheng stood up, "it is not necessarily that Mr. Badao killed people, is it? You don't want Mr. Badao to die on the charge of murder, do you

After giving Zhongyuan Xiangzhi to the nurse, Gao Cheng leaned slightly and said, "don't worry, no matter what the truth is, I will give you an account and bet on the future of a famous detective."

……

Meeting room, Nihonbashi police station.

"Pregnant?"

"Today's young people return to poverty when they are poor. There is no ambiguity in this respect..."

The police officers in charge of the investigation were called together to report their work, including Gao Cheng and Jiahe. However, he did not mention the last phone call from Badao.

That statement can only advance the press conference

When the other police finished reporting, Gao Cheng stood up and continued: "as for the people who went into the coffee shop with the victims, I think we need to conduct further investigation to determine whether it was Badao himself."

Police officers on the scene turned to Gao Cheng.

Most of them are from the police stations under the jurisdiction. They just heard about Gao Cheng. When they see a real person so young, they always feel unreliable. Jinshi metal also investigated with the police officers of the search class.

"The day before the Badao incident, I specially looked for socks without holes," Gao Cheng said calmly. "It should be to prepare for the interview the next day. There are not many places to take off shoes for the interview. I believe we can find out the company interviewed on the day of the Badao incident..."

The police at the scene began to talk one after another. Although they were reluctant to continue to drag on, they could not help nodding.

"Indeed, it would be better to know why bashima went near Nipponbashi."

"In addition," Gao chengdun said, "there's no contact record of the interview company in Badao mobile phone. Maybe it's not through magazines or other recruitment advertisements. Instead, I see the recruitment notice posted outside the store to apply for a temporary job, and then the other party asks him to interview the next day for some reason... According to these two points, we can arrange the police force..."

After the meeting, Gao Cheng and Jiahe leave the police station together.

"I've got time for the moment, but I can only postpone the press conference for one day at most."

Gahe takes a map and hands it to Gao Cheng.

"During the tour of the seven blessing gods, someone saw Mr. Qingliu worshiping the purple thousand paper cranes at the kusen shrine a month ago..."

Jiahe and Gao Cheng walk in the street: "I don't know what the purpose of Mr. Qingliu's visit to Qifu God is. Next, he has to go through the rest of the shrine."

"Officer Gaga, you'd better drive, or it's too slow."

Gao Cheng looks at the locations where Qingliu Wuming appears on the map.

"Mr. Qingliu really walked a lot... But why did Badao come to Japan bridge so far to look for a job? How can we say it's quite far from the barren river area... "

"Maybe you'll know when you find the company he's interviewing with," Gaga suggested. "Anyway, go with me to the rest of the shrine first."

"Well? I'll go with you too! "

"Yes, anyway, you don't need to investigate the eight Island Line for the time being. It's better to run one more person than one more person."

"That's right..."

……

Shuitiangong, a famous shrine in Tokyo, is also the last shrine of Qifu.

Gao Cheng ran to several shrines, and finally followed Jiahe to the Shuitian palace. He was very tired: "the front-line criminal police are really more tired than they thought..."

Gaga was not surprised: "what happened?"

"Four months ago, at the rice lotus shrine in Lijian, someone saw Mr. Qingliu worship the green thousand paper cranes."

"Someone on my side saw him shooting blue thousand paper cranes with a digital camera at the tea tree shrine three months ago."

Gahe walks into Shuitian palace.

"This is the last one. If you find a clue, you can run another 100 times tomorrow."

"Ha?"

Gao Cheng hastily followed: "do you want to stop checking in xiuwenguan high school?"

"I've been here since about half a year ago to worship paper cranes," the abbot, a white headed old man, explained when he was found. "I've calculated that every time it's just 100, and it's put together with a thousand yuan envelope bag."

"Are 100 paper cranes the same color each time?" He inquired.

"At first it was yellow, then it was green and blue. Every month is different."

"Have you ever seen the worshipper?"

"No," the abbot shook his head. "He always appears when there are few people..."

After asking, Jiahe looked serious.

"Mr. Qingliu did tell people that going to other shrines is just by the way... It seems that this is the place where he really wants to come. I'll look for it. The paper crane and the paper may have been bought nearby."

"Then I'll ask the others."

Gao Cheng stayed in the shrine and looked for the visitors.

If Qingliu Wuming went to Shuitian palace to pray for a safe birth, it would be very strange. There was no pregnant person in Qingliu's family, and there was no need to work so hard. He began to visit the shrine half a year ago.

It's better to say that

Gao Cheng goes to the place where prayer items are sold next to the shrine, and his eyes fall on the price list.

"Water disaster... Is there water disaster prayer here?"

"Of course," the witch said with a smile, "there are many people praying for their children to avoid the water disaster."

"Sure enough, my feeling is right, swimming club, water disaster... Mr. Qingliu started to go to Japan bridge half a year ago because of this..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the prayer object, took out a picture of Qingliu Wuming and asked, "have you seen this man? Listen to the abbot, it seems that he will come when there are few people. "

The witch took the photo, shook her head and said, "I'm not sure... Excuse me, are you a policeman?"“ Well, "Gao Cheng said, grabbing the back of his head," I'm not a policeman, but I'm assisting the police in their investigation... "" ah, "the witch suddenly said in surprise," I remember. You're the detective, aren't you? "“ I think so. " Gao Cheng put away the photo of Qingliu Wuming and handed out his business card: "I'm Gao Cheng from the city. If you think of anything, please contact me..." the witch happily put away her business card and continued: "a few days ago, a man named Badao Dongshu came here and left his wish card..." "Badao Dongshu?" Gao Cheng was stunned and took out a picture of the eight islands. "Is that the man?"“ Well, "the witch nodded, looked at the photos of the eight islands and wondered," is he really the one on TV? But is it really a killer? He didn't look like that kind of person. He spent all his 500 yuan to buy a wishing card and made a wish seriously... "What about the wishing card?"“ We helped to keep it. He didn't seem to know that the wishing card here could be taken home, so he hung it on the tree next to him... "When he met with Jiahe again, Gao Cheng had a wish card full of words on his hand, and the sign was indeed Badao winter tree“ "Just the day before the accident," Gao Cheng murmured, "I heard Miss Zhongyuan say that Badao was late because she didn't have money to go back by tram that day..." Jiahe looked at the wishing card, took a deep breath, and gave Gao Cheng a bag of color and paper: "Mr. Qingliu really folded paper cranes with this kind of paper, ten colors, Start with the yellow in the middle, yellow, green, aqua blue, cyan, purple and the last white, 100 of each. After praying and taking pictures in other shrines, they are put into shuitiangong shrine with a thousand yuan letter... "Shuinan," Gao Cheng says, "Mr. Jiahe, shuitiangong prays for a safe birth, I can also pray to avoid the water disaster... It has something to do with the qingliuyou people. " Gahe and Gao Cheng walked side by side, nodding and affirming, "your intuition is right. It seems necessary to investigate again."“ Good A smile appeared on Gao Cheng's face. Although the case was a little complicated, he felt very close to the truth of the incident. Because both Qingliu Youren and the teacher seem to be taboo about something. They don't talk about the accident of the swimming club at all
