The dark screen soon reflected the astonished faces of Chen Shengdong and others. The scene they just saw was a bit unexpected for them.
"Just now... did you all see it?"
Chen Shengdong looked back at the investigators behind him in astonishment. Several of them nodded with astonishment on their faces.
Chen Shengdong then became vigilant and looked around to make sure that no one was interested in seeing the surveillance footage. Then he adjusted the surveillance back to the previous time. This time, he looked more carefully than anyone else.
"Snapped!"
At the same time, a second before the surveillance screen went black, the body that was originally lying on the morgue suddenly sat up, and then the screen disappeared again.
The faces of Chen Shengdong and others began to look strange. This scene was really strange and even more unbelievable.
The investigators standing behind Chen Shengdong also looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Chen Shengdong tried his best to calm down his mood so as not to lose his composure in front of his men.
He stood up, pointed to the equipment storing monitoring data and said:
“Take the surveillance video back and let the technical department analyze it to see if the damaged surveillance footage can be repaired.
Immediately notify the Investigation Department and go to the scene to collect traces and restore as much as possible what happened at the scene! "
After issuing the order, investigators quickly became busy.
Chen Shengdong strode into the morgue, pointed to the morgue bed closest to the door and said to the doctor:
"Bring out the corpse information stored on this bed to me."
Chen Shengdong is worthy of being an elite member of the Criminal Division of Hi-tech City, even though the surveillance footage just now shocked him.
But it is not easy to sort out a clear direction of investigation and stabilize one's emotions in such a short period of time.
In these few seconds, Chen Shengdong showed a composure that was completely inconsistent with his age.
All the corpses stored in the morgue disappeared overnight. The doctor in charge was naturally more anxious than anyone else, so he quickly ran to get a piece of information and handed it to Chen Shengdong.
After opening the information and looking at it, Chen Shengdong's brows quickly knitted together.
The corpse stored on the morgue closest to the door was that of a young girl who died of a congenital heart attack and failed to be rescued in time.
Passing away from this world at the wonderful age of 20s is a painful thing for his family.
It has been about three days since the death notification was issued. It was originally recorded that the body was expected to be picked up by the family one hour later today.
According to regulations, corpses cannot be stored in morgues of medical institutions for more than two weeks.
Therefore, almost all the bodies that disappeared on this night will be picked up one after another in the next few days.
It's no wonder that the doctor in charge in front of him looked sad and anxious.
Chen Shengdong can already imagine that soon the hospital hall will be filled with family members coming to ask for an explanation.
This pressure is also on him. The truth of this case must be found out as soon as possible.
But what puzzled Chen Shengdong was why a person who had been pronounced dead for three days suddenly sat up in the surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage ended abruptly, and no one knew what happened next.
Therefore, Chen Shengdong had to prepare with both hands. On the one hand, he asked the investigators to quickly take the surveillance camera back for repairs, and on the other hand, he called the Investigation Department to make a preliminary judgment on the traces at the scene.
The trace expert of the Investigation Department of the Hi-tech City's Xing Division is named Qin Tian, who is also an excellent forensic doctor.
He quickly arrived at the scene with investigators armed to the teeth.
After long-term cooperation with Chen Shengdong, the two of them did not need to say anything. After just nodding and saying hello, Qin Tian quickly started working.
After the people from the Reconnaissance Department intervened in the investigation, all the doctors were temporarily isolated outside the morgue, which also gave Chen Shengdong and Qin Tian a chance to talk.
"Old Qin, what I say next, don't spread it to others.
I've seen the surveillance video here. All the bodies disappeared mysteriously overnight. This is very strange. "
While talking, Chen Shengdong handed the corpse information in his hand to Qin Tian:
“This body has been here for three days, and it has been on the bed closest to the door since the death notice was issued three days ago.
But in the surveillance screen, when I saw this body, it suddenly sat up, and finally the screen disappeared.
Does this matter make sense? "
Qin Tian frowned slightly when he heard this. Because he was wearing a mask, his expression could not be seen, but it could be seen from his eyes that Qin Tian was also a little confused about this.
“In some cases, the bioelectricity present in the corpse can indeed react with static electricity, forming what is known as corpse fraud among the people.
Through this, it can explain the surveillance footage you saw, but..."
While talking, Qin Tian carefully observed the morgue bed. Even at many times, his eyes were only a few centimeters away from the morgue bed:
“But the remaining marks on this bed are also very strange.
You see, the thin plastic isolation cloth on the bed board has irregular distortions, and has formed a vague tendency to fall inertially.
The first third is relatively flat, while the last two thirds are stressed, so..."
"Ahem, Lao Qin, can you say something I can understand?"
Chen Shengdong interrupted Qin Tian helplessly. He had no idea what the professional terms Qin Tian said meant.
Qin Tian just realized this at this time, so after organizing his words a little, he pointed at the morgue and said:
“Through these traces, it can be concluded that the body that was originally supposed to be stored on this bed was not moved away by external force.
If it was moved by external forces, there would not be so many traces left on the isolation cloth.
I don’t know if it was a corpse that left these marks, but looking back on this matter from my perspective, the person lying on this bed should be a human being.
From getting up, to curling up his legs, and then shifting his weight to get out of bed, there were obvious traces left behind.
This trace is not explained by the muscle contraction caused by the reaction of bioelectricity and static electricity. "
Qin Tian's words made Chen Shengdong freeze on the spot for a few seconds, so much so that he even forgot to control his tone and looked at Qin Tian and asked strangely:
"You mean these corpses all walked out of bed on their own?"
Qin Tian shook his head and spread his hands:
“I can’t be sure who left these traces, I just use the traces to deduce the whole process backwards.
As for what's going on, it's up to you to find out. "
Although Qin Tian's words were conservative, how could Chen Shengdong calm down?
This is a morgue. Could it be that the person who stole the body wanted to lie on the morgue for a while?
What the hell!
Several investigators led by Qin Tian quickly recorded all the traces that could be found at the scene, planning to form a detailed report after returning and give it to Chen Shengdong.
Before Chen Shengdong left, he specifically asked about Old Man Wu's condition. However, according to the doctor, Old Man Wu suffered a heart attack due to great fright. He has not yet passed the critical period, let alone recovered from his illness. Did I get any useful confession from my mouth?
In desperation, Chen Shengdong could only temporarily withdraw his team.
The relevant person in charge of the hospital also repeatedly requested Chen Shengdong to solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to explain to the family members of the corpse.
Why doesn't Chen Shengdong not want to solve the case?
After returning to Tixing Division, he immediately asked about the progress of repairing the surveillance screen.
The results obtained were still unsatisfactory. The surveillance picture was not caused by man-made destruction, but seemed to be subject to some kind of strong magnetic interference, which led to the loss of subsequent surveillance pictures.
This is not a problem that can be solved by technical means. After searching again and again, Chen Shengdong found that he had entered a dead end.
None of the clues provided any depth, so I had no choice but to use the stupidest method.
After all, there are only a few entrances and exits to the hospital, and the surveillance cameras at the entrances and exits clearly record everyone who enters and exits.
As for the disappearance of the body, all investigators have temporarily placed their suspicion on man-made theft.
Therefore, the parking lot, entrances and exits, and even elevator monitoring were all transferred back to Tissing Division.
Although there is a place behind the morgue for hearses to enter and exit and no surveillance is set up, but after leaving here, there are roads extending in all directions.
And if you want to move so many corpses quietly overnight, you must use a vehicle.
Therefore, based on this idea, as long as the road monitoring is called up, the information deficiency in the blind area can be made up.
However, this is a big project. Gao Ling, director of the Criminal Investigation Department of High-tech City, urgently ordered that the teams be merged. All investigators who were not on task joined Chen Shengdong's team and began to review all relevant surveillance footage.
That evening, at nine o'clock.
The lights in Tiexing Division were brightly lit, and all the investigators were staring at the screens in front of them, constantly looking at the surveillance images, not daring to delay at all until their eyes were dry and numb.
The hospital cannot conceal the disappearance of the body, so once the family comes to collect the body, they will learn the sad news.
Chen Shengdong hoped to properly handle the matter before it escalated, so he had to race against time and not rest for a moment.
Chen Shengdong, who was feeling irritable, stood by the window in the corridor and lit a cigarette. Only then did he feel that his manic and depressed heart had calmed down a little.
He reorganized all the investigation directions in his mind, trying to see what he had missed. Why was it that he still had no clues after checking this case?
At this moment, Chen Shengdong felt a vibration from the mobile phone in his pocket. After taking a look at the caller ID, he immediately connected the call.
"I can't get in today. There's a case. I'm almost worried to death."
The caller was none other than Lin Feng from the Lin'an City Alert Department.
The relationship between the two has always been good, but as long as there is a case, the two will habitually start a battle.
If they take off their Xingsi clothes every month when they can take a vacation at the same time, their favorite thing to do is to find an Internet cafe and play copies of games.
Today was supposed to be Chen Shengdong's day off, so Lin Feng came to his old place early to wait, but Chen Shengdong didn't come, so he called.
"Is there a case? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Lin Feng asked with some confusion, which also hit the point where Chen Shengdong was upset:
"In the Psychiatric Hospital in Gaoxin City, all the corpses in the morgue disappeared overnight. How could you dare to expose such a big case?
I checked the surveillance all day today, and also asked people from the Investigation Department to check the scene. It was really something wrong, and nothing could be found. "
While talking, Chen Shengdong sighed repeatedly, but Lin Feng, who was sitting in the Internet cafe on vacation, frowned slightly:
"Tell me more about this case."
Chen Shengdong roughly told what happened, and Lin Feng soon realized that there were several doubts in this case that should not exist.
If you want to transport so many corpses overnight, you must use a vehicle, and all places where vehicles can be moved are monitored.
Why was the suspect not found in the surveillance?
Secondly, returning to the case itself, why did the perpetrator steal these corpses?
After all, some of these corpses have been stored here for a while, and there is no issue of organ benefit.
This leaves many doubts in the formation of the case itself. It is no wonder why Chen Shengdong is now speaking in a bitter and resentful tone.
On the phone, Chen Shengdong was still complaining:
“Sometimes I really wonder, could it be possible that these corpses could suddenly evaporate?
One more thing I forgot to mention is that the surveillance system in the morgue suddenly failed for some reason.
But before the scene faded, I actually saw a body sitting up on the morgue.
Can you believe this? "
"What?"
Lin Feng's expression began to look strange. He quickly stood up and walked to an unmanned corner of the Internet cafe.
After searching for a while, Lin Feng asked word for word:
"Old Chen, what you just said is true?"
"How can it be fake? Everyone in my group has seen it.
The technicians identified it for a long time and determined that there were no traces of modification in the monitoring system.
The case itself is outrageous, and I am now one of the top two.
You can play the game by yourself, you will definitely have to work overtime again today..."
At this point, Chen Shengdong was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly he heard Lin Feng calling him on the phone:
"Old Chen, if what you say is true, I do know some people who are quite good at handling strange cases like this."
"Who? Which people?"
Faced with Chen Shengdong's inquiry, Lin Feng didn't give in.
"Go to Liuhuo Avenue in Lin'an City and take a look. There is a polling bureau there. Maybe they can give you some surprises."
Chen Shengdong's hand paused in mid-air, and then he put the phone to his ear again and asked in confusion:
"I have heard about the Avenue of Fire, but what is the Polling Bureau? Why didn't I know there is such an organization?"
Lin Feng said with a somewhat complicated tone:
“To be honest, I have a lot of doubts about this organization now.
But it is undeniable that the disappearance case on Longhua Road that made a big fuss some time ago and the recent accident at the Xiheli Road construction site were all solved by people from the polling bureau.
What these cases have in common is: weird!
And these people in the polling bureau are even weirder!
Maybe letting these weirdos handle this strange case will yield unexpected results. "
