Chapter 88
On the second night, in the prison of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Luo Fei, Xiaoman and Wei Feng faced each other across the fence of the cell.

Luo Fei instructed Wei Feng with a stern expression: "Xiaoman will bring you food and supplies every day, and you don't touch anything in the prison."

Wei Feng seemed to be the most relaxed person at this time, "Brother Luo, don't worry, I know all these truths." Wei Feng glanced at Xiaoman while speaking, and then smiled at Luo Fei, "However, a gentleman does not take what others like. , I have my own confidante. Yuan Yuan will deliver food and supplies every day."

Luo Fei ignored Wei Feng's joke, and said firmly, "I will find out the truth as soon as possible and return your innocence."

"Brother Luo can't put all his attention on me, maybe this is what Jin Bubai wants to see." Wei Feng said with a worried face.

After hearing Wei Feng's words, Xiaoman couldn't help frowning: "You mean, Jin Bubai might make a fuss?"

Luo Fei nodded: "There is such a possibility, I will continue to pay attention to the virus."

"About the virus, although Tian Baichuan didn't say much on the phone, he revealed that he told me to be careful of severe flu." Wei Feng recalled.

"Severe flu?" Luo Fei pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, you go to several big hospitals in the concession every morning and afternoon, and pay attention to whether there are patients with severe flu. If you encounter them, remember to record their age, gender, onset time, and onset location."

Xiaoman nodded immediately: "Well, leave it to me."

The next day, in Tian Baichuan's apartment, Luo Fei and Benjamin were still searching for clues very carefully.

At this time, Benjamin in the kitchen picked up the bowls and chopsticks and observed while saying, "I checked Tian Baichuan's body. He was shot in the heart and died with a single shot."

"Yes, there was only one gunshot." Luo Fei was staring at the almanac hanging on the wall in a daze at this time, and saw several red circles drawn on the almanac on the days of the month.

"The deceased had no other injuries and no signs of struggling. It should be committed by an acquaintance." Benjamin speculated.

"Wei Feng is not the only acquaintance of Tian Baichuan." Luo Fei said firmly.

"So, the key now is the secret room. You say the murderer is not Wei Feng, so how did the murderer disappear?" Benjamin thought about it, feeling still clueless.

"Don't be lazy!" Luo Fei clapped his hands at Benjamin, gesturing for him to cheer up, "I don't want to understand it now, so I asked you to help me investigate and investigate. The secret room is the easiest to leave a loophole, because the murderer made Traces of the Chamber of Secrets..."

At this moment, the phone on the desk in the apartment rang suddenly, interrupting Luo Fei's words.Luo Fei immediately picked up the phone on the table and answered it.

"...Xiaoman? Which hospital? How many are there now?..." Luo Fei listened for a while, then hung up the phone.

Benjamin looked at Luo Fei's expression, a little strange: "What's wrong?"

"At St. John's International Hospital, three severe flu cases with the same symptoms appeared in one morning. I will rush over there now. Please inform the inspector and Chang Qing for me." Luo Fei said with a serious expression.

"What about here?" Benjamin spread his hands towards Luo Fei.

"You keep an eye on it for me first, I'll go to the hospital to check the situation, and I'll be back soon." Luo Fei walked out of the room quickly after speaking.

Benjamin shrugged: "Okay, anyway, Wei Feng is in a single prison, so there is no danger for the time being."

When Luo Fei rushed to the ward area of ​​St. John's International Hospital and observed through the glass the three patients with severe influenza whom he said on the phone, he frowned: "Their family members are still taking care of them. These three patients don't need Is it isolated?"

An accompanying doctor surnamed Hao next to Xiaoman explained: "The three patients will not be in danger for the time being. If they are to be isolated, their family members may not agree."

Luo Fei stared at Dr. Hao: "Are you sure your life is not in danger?"

Dr. Hao nodded: "Well, after taking some anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-fever drugs, their symptoms have eased."

Luo Fei then turned to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, have you recorded the time and location of their onset?"

Xiaoman then handed over a small notebook: "Well, the time of onset of the first two cases was one at 7:8 and the other at around 15:8, with an interval of about half an hour, and the interval of the third case was 15 minutes, at about [-]:[-]. They are relatively scattered, two are in the east of the city and one is in the south of the city.”

Luo Fei flipped through the notebook, and said to Ye Changqing: "Chang Qing, where is the map I asked you to bring?"

Ye Changqing then took out a map of the concession from his bag and handed it to Luo Fei.Luo Fei handed back the small book, unfolded the map, pressed it against the wall, and began to order Javert and Ye Changqing: "Inspector, Chang Qing, hold the map for me."

When Ye Changqing was still reluctant, he saw that Javert had gone to hold the corner of the map, so he had no choice but to go up and hold the corner of the map.

Luo Fei looked around the map, took out a pen from the breast pocket of Dr. Hao's white coat, turned around and drew a blue circle on the map.

"Yes, this is the first outbreak site in the east of the city." Luo Fei immediately wrote 07:30 next to the circle, and then drew two blue circles, writing [-] o'clock and [-]:[-] respectively.

"Xiaoman, have you run away from other hospitals? Is there any similar severe flu." Luo Fei moved his gaze from the map to Xiaoman.

"There are two other hospitals, each with one case," Xiaoman said.

"Location! Time!" After hearing this, Luo Fei circled two circles on the map, writing [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] respectively.Afterwards, Luo Fei connected the five circles with a straight line, and a very irregular figure appeared on the map.

Qin Xiaoman: "The locations are scattered, and the time is irregular. Luo Fei, is it possible that we made a fuss?"

Luo Fei hung his hands in the air, repeated the measurement several times, and then showed a faint smile: "Can you see it?"

Javert and Ye Changqing looked up at the map, frowning and shaking their heads.Even Qin Xiaoman was at a loss: "I don't see anything."

Luo Fei looked at Javert, Ye Changqing and Xiaoman in surprise, "Don't you see it? It's so obvious that you didn't see it?!"

Javert shook his head: "Isn't it just circled five addresses? What else?"

"Didn't you guys discover the regularity of these five severe flus? Such a regularity must not be an accident!" Luo Fei said in an emphatic tone.

Xiaoman was taken aback: "Rule?"

Luo Fei covered his forehead and sighed, then continued: "From the first onset location to the second onset location, the interval is 30 minutes. From the second to the third location, the interval is 15 minutes, and the fourth is 25 minutes. , the fifth 20 minutes! Look at this time, this distance!"

But in the end, Xiaoman, Javert and Ye Changqing shook their heads and all looked at Luo Fei.

"Look carefully!" Luo Fei sighed and pointed to the circles he drew on the map, "Is it so obvious that you can't see it? The speed is drawn on the map, which is the walking speed. From No. 10 to No. 15, if you walk, it takes about [-] minutes. From No. [-] to No. [-], if you walk, it takes about [-] minutes. From No. [-] to No. [-]..."

"About 25 minutes?" Ye Changqing interjected along the lines.

Suddenly the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and Javert immediately gave him a blank look.

"It shows that these five cases of severe influenza were man-made. The poisoner should have been walking, and he was poisoning continuously. If my guess is correct, more severe influenza will be sent to the hospital in the future." Luo Having said that, he turned to Dr. Hao, "Dr. Hao, you have to be prepared, it may be this afternoon, or it may be tomorrow morning."

Then Luo Fei said to Javert, "Inspector, you go and bring the other two patients to this hospital immediately, and the patrol room must protect them."

Luo Fei walked outside the door of the ward while speaking, and looked inside again.

"Which one was the earliest patient?" Luo Fei asked suddenly.

Xiaoman immediately opened her notebook: "The one in the hospital bed, wearing glasses, is a college student named Guo Yongqiang, who just returned to Shanghai by train from Guangzhou."

"What about the other two?" Luo Fei then asked.

Xiaoman thought for a while, then turned to another page: "The second patient is a coolie at the pier, named Chen Dali. He was supposed to rest at home today, and the third patient is the girl who sleeps in the outermost hospital bed." , called Liang Jing, is a primary school teacher."

"What about the patients in the other two hospitals?" Luo Fei asked again.

"A man and a woman. The man is a child. I didn't have time to ask the woman's name and occupation." Xiaoman replied with a serious face.

At this time, Ye Changqing speculated: "The five people have different occupations, different ages, and different genders. In this way, the murderer is poisoning indiscriminately."

"Indiscriminate poisoning?" Javert couldn't help being surprised when he heard these two words.

At this time, Luo Fei shook his head again and again: "It's not that the poisoning is indiscriminate, there must be a connection between these five people! Although it is not clear what the connection is, but since it is a chess game played by Jin Bubai, there must be his purpose. "

Ye Changqing suddenly became nervous: "Is this guy trying to create panic in the city and force us to let him out?"

Luo Fei shook his head: "It's not that simple. The five patients this morning are more like... like a test, yes, a test! Different ages, different genders, different physiques, to see their tolerance to the virus , It also depends on how contagious the virus is. It may also be tested at the same time as the hospital's treatment capacity and response speed. Dr. Hao, more serious patients will be sent over later."

Dr. Hao looked embarrassed: "Are we just waiting?"

Luo Fei shook his head, and then said to Javert: "Inspector, let half of the police in the patrol room go to the street and look for this poisoner! Since he is walking, he is likely to bump into him, so what suspicious person does the patrol room encounter?" Immediately stop for questioning, even if the poisoner is not caught immediately, it will give him a deterrent."

"What about the other police force?" Javert asked Luo Fei.

"Anyone who encounters a similar severe flu will be sent to this hospital, so the other half of the police force in the patrol room will stay in this hospital." Luo Fei arranged.

Javert immediately agreed, and then habitually shouted to Chang Qing: "Chang Qing, just do as Luo Fei said!"

Ye Changqing choked on this sentence: "Inspector, I..."

Javert glared at Ye Changqing, signaling him not to make excuses.Ye Changqing then walked away with a sigh.

"Inspector, can you release Wei Feng on bail? He is a key for us to deal with Jin Bubai." Luo Fei pleaded with Javert again at this time.

Shawei shook his head in embarrassment: "Wei Feng is a murder suspect and cannot be released on bail. Besides, Dr. Hao didn't say that these five people are not life-threatening. I can't let a murderer just because a few people have the flu." Is the suspect coming out?"

At this time, a nurse suddenly ran in: "Inspector Sha, I have a call for you, said to be from the prison."

Javert walked into a telephone receiver which was placed on the table, and Javert picked it up to answer: "I'm Javert...um, um...ok..." Afterwards, Javert's tone suddenly became serious.

Luo Fei asked blankly, "What's the matter?"

Shawei sighed and said, "Lu Wende, director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, wants to shoot Wei Feng."

After Luo Fei listened, his expression was very delicate: "Lv Wende?"

"You forgot, Wei Feng accidentally injured his wife when he was an undercover agent, it seems that Lu Wende insisted on killing Wei Feng this time," Javert said.

Although Xiaoman didn't know the background of this Lu Wende, judging from Javert's tone, this Lu Dewen seemed a bit difficult to deal with. At this moment, he couldn't help worrying about Wei Feng's situation, so he asked Javert: "How much time do we have left?"

Shawei said with a serious face: "I don't think it will be too long. I heard that Lu Wende has been digging up Wei Feng's black history. Once the materials are ready, he will immediately issue an order to shoot Wei Feng. Tonight at the earliest, at the latest tomorrow."

"Before that, I must find evidence to crack this secret room!" Luo Fei looked at Javert firmly.

Javert nodded, and cast a comforting look at Luo Fei: "Over there at the prison, if I can, I will help you."
