Chapter 78: Chapter 36 Continuous Crimes (Seeking subscription and monthly tickets, 2-in-1 Chapter)_2
Luo Fei, Wang Lei, and Zhong Jun formed one group; Yang Su and Xia Zheng formed another.
After splitting up with Yang Su, Luo Fei brought Wang Lei and Zhong Jun to the county people’s hospital, the most advanced and authoritative hospital in Ningjiang County.
The three initially wanted to go directly to the dean, but were informed that the dean was away on a business trip. So, they approached the deputy dean in charge of the men’s department, explaining the situation and hoping for the hospital’s cooperation.
Knowing that the criminal investigation team was looking into a murder case, the hospital was very cooperative. Luo Fei and his team smoothly acquired the data and records of all male patients with severe physiological problems from the past year, totaling four hundred and thirty-two cases.
Using the same method, Luo Fei’s team visited three other hospitals, copying the data and records of all male patients with severe physiological problems.
The four hospitals that Luo Fei’s team visited had treated a total of one thousand two hundred and twenty-one male patients with severe physiological issues over the past year.
By the time Luo Fei’s team returned to the criminal investigation unit with the data from the four hospitals, it was already past seven in the evening.
Yang Su and Xia Zheng had not returned to the office at this time.
"Luo Fei, Zhong Jun, I’ve ordered takeaway. What would you like to eat? I’ve ordered in bulk, just send me the money later." Wang Lei asked eagerly upon returning to the office.
"Braised chicken rice," Zhong Jun replied.
Luo Fei had just connected the hard drive to his computer, ready to check it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Twice-cooked pork with rice. Also, remember to order a portion each for the team leader and Xia Zheng; I reckon they’ll be back soon too."
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget them."
Soon enough, Yang Su and Xia Zheng returned.
No one in the office mentioned leaving work; everyone knew that working overtime tonight was a given.
Yang Su distributed the tasks: each person would get the data and records of about four hundred male patients. Luo Fei’s team was to review them one by one and then filter them.
Yang Su’s hope was to narrow down the two thousand data entries to a hundred, and then investigate each one, as examining all two thousand entries individually seemed unrealistic.
After discussing, Luo Fei and Yang Su roughly set the filtering criteria: age under sixty, above eighteen, physiological issues are infertility or impotence, with no hospital treatment or recovery.
After filtering, about five hundred entries remained.
At this time, the takeaway arrived, and Luo Fei and his team ate while discussing how to further filter.
They decided to further filter by region, focusing first on the county town and the surrounding areas, as well as Baihe Town and Tianshi Town.
After dinner and further filtering, only one hundred and two files remained.
The team then divided the one hundred and two files according to region and distributed them among the team members.
With this, the day’s task was considered complete. Next, Luo Fei’s team would investigate these one hundred and two documents individually, which would be the real challenge.
Luo Fei returned home at ten o’clock.
Wu Yan prepared a bowl of minced meat noodles for Luo Fei. Seeing her son working overtime until this late, Wu Yan felt quite distressed as his mother.
The next morning, Luo Fei arrived at the office early, before Yang Su.
Sitting quietly at his desk for a few minutes until his mind was completely clear, Luo Fei began reviewing the files, understanding the identity and address information of the patients.
As per Yang Su’s arrangement from yesterday, Luo Fei, Wang Lei, and Zhong Jun got forty files belonging to patients from Baihe Town and Tianshi Town.
Yang Su and Xia Zheng received sixty-two files from patients in the county town and surrounding areas.
"Looking at the files!" Yang Su entered the office at seven-thirty, eating deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk, and seeing Luo Fei focusing on the computer, approached to ask.
"Yes, getting acquainted with the identities and addresses beforehand to plan today’s investigation," Luo Fei nodded in response.
"Good, that’s the right approach, keep it up." Yang Su said, content with Luo Fei’s proactive attitude.
At eight, Wang Lei and Xia Zheng entered the office, right on time.
By then, Luo Fei had completely reviewed all forty files and formed a plan for that day’s investigation.
By eight-thirty, Luo Fei, Wang Lei, and Zhong Jun left the criminal investigation team, heading to Baihe Town.
Baihe Town is about twenty kilometers from the county seat, with a population of sixteen thousand and Governing ten villages. Among the files they received, twenty-two were patients from Baihe Town.
Luo Fei and his team did not go to the town but directly to the villages, starting at Shanshu Village.
The files showed two infertile patients from Shanshu Village.
They found the village chief and explained their purpose, then followed the chief to meet the two villagers with physiological diseases. However, neither was the suspect. Luo Fei could tell at first sight they weren’t the killers.
By the time Luo Fei’s team left Shanshu Village, it was already three in the afternoon.
The second stop was the adjacent Liuhe Village. According to the data, Liuhe Village had one infertile patient.
Similarly, they located the village chief first and were led by him to the person, but unfortunately, it was also a misidentification.
Family Time Luo Fei and his team left Liuhe Village was already six in the afternoon.
The reason for the prolonged time was that Luo Fei’s team was mainly either traveling or en route. The roads in the village were not good, requiring cautious driving, and in some places, cars couldn’t pass.
