Chapter 354 Brain Disease

At this time, Lu Ming really felt that he had no choice. Not only was there no way, there was no idea at all.

I don't know how to proceed with the investigation next, I don't know at all.

Several previous cases, even if they are equally bizarre and hidden under a lot of fog, make people confused, but at least when the case cannot continue, at least there are clues - regardless of whether these clues can lead to a breakthrough. , at least the clue itself exists, right?

But now, there are no clues.

This incident has such a hard impact on our own investigation line. It is like a piece of tempered glass, with no gaps and no opportunities to exploit it, but it is extremely strong and there is no hope of breaking.

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan, who held the highest decision-making power of the entire second operation team, had to start thinking about a problem very seriously.

Do you want to close the case?

The case has not yet been fully investigated. Moreover, this was a major case that lasted for at least a hundred years and most likely caused the death of more than 2,000 people. It seems very irresponsible to close the case at this point.

However, there is a clearer fact that manpower is sometimes poor. The overall strength of human civilization lies there. There are some things that cannot be found out no matter how determined you are, regardless of the cost, or how many resources you spend.

Like faster-than-light navigation technology. With the current strength of mankind, even if tens of billions of people in the entire civilization do nothing, study for a lifetime, and devote all resources to this research, it is almost impossible to make a breakthrough.

Sometimes, it is also the responsibility of the action team to decisively stop losses and not waste resources on investigation of cases that are obviously unlikely to produce results.

Of course, Zhang Dingshan is not going to make a decision to close the case right now. He was just seriously thinking about the necessity of this option. Specific decisions need to be made after comprehensive consideration and weighing of multiple factors.

There was silence in the conference room for a long time before Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "Disband first. Everyone can take a rest first and think about it carefully."

Lu Qingliang sighed, turned off the camera, and disappeared from the computer screen. Lu Ming stood up silently and packed the documents in front of him.

He Wei scratched her head and asked tentatively: "Would you like to find something delicious? I've heard that the fish here in Blue Lake City are also quite famous..."

Lu Ming was a little dumbfounded: "Why, do you really think that I can get inspiration just by eating?"

"Try it, maybe it will work. Anyway, there is nothing to do now, and being idle is also idle."

"I'm not going, I'm not interested."

Lu Ming refused directly.

How could he feel like this now?

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan: "Captain, look at him."

Zhang Dingshan paused for a moment, as if he had considered it seriously, and then said: "Forget it for today. Go tomorrow."

He Wei looked at Lu Ming again: "The captain has spoken, but you still don't listen?"

Lu Ming had no choice but to say: "Okay, then let's go tomorrow."

After deciding what to do tomorrow, they dispersed.

At the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau, Feng Guozhu came to his office with a sullen face.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a phone call rang on time.

"Hello. We are from the investigation team, and we are here to verify with you something about Zeng Jian, the security officer of the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau. Excuse me, Zeng Jian has passed away, right?"

Feng Guozhu was very unhappy.

Zeng Jian was his direct subordinate, and he was very optimistic about him at first. Feng Guozhu was particularly heartbroken about Zeng Jian's death.

However, for such a smart, responsible young man who died in the line of duty, the superiors want to conduct some kind of investigation, saying that he was involved in some injury case... It's simply ridiculous!

Isn't this an insult to the honor of the deceased?

However, although he felt unhappy, Feng Guozhu could only answer patiently: "Yes. Comrade Zeng Jian died in the line of duty a few months ago..."

After answering several questions from the investigation team and verifying Zeng Jian's situation, Feng Guozhu asked tentatively: "What case is Comrade Zeng Jian involved in? Is it convenient to disclose it?"

On the phone, the person from the investigation team sighed: "Originally, it couldn't be disclosed. But now that the person has died in the line of duty, there is no need to keep it secret. The situation is like this..."

As the investigation team members narrated, Feng Guozhu gradually became clear about the whole matter.

Before Zeng Jian joined the company, when he was still a student at a security academy, he encountered a young woman being harassed by a drunkard at night.

It was already late at night and there were no pedestrians on the street. The drunk man pulled at the woman and even tried to pull her into the street and alley. The woman screamed for help, and Zeng Jian certainly couldn't ignore her when he saw her.

Zeng Jian has always had a strong sense of justice, and Feng Guozhu knew this. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on launching an investigation into the current case.

Zeng Jian stepped forward, knocked down the drunk man with one punch, and then turned him to the Public Security Bureau. But when he turned around, the woman disappeared.

Without the victim, things would be difficult to handle. Zeng Jian had no choice but to teach the drunkard a lesson and let him go.

"These things were told by Zeng Jian's classmates during our later investigation. The environment was relatively remote at the time and there were no cameras.

Originally, this matter was nothing. As security guards, we also believed in Comrade Zeng Jian. But the key problem is that the drunk man returned home in a daze, and the next day he discovered that he had broken a bone and developed a secondary infection, which later developed to the point where he had to have his leg amputated.

The drunkard’s family refused to let it go, insisting that the drunkard had been beaten and seriously injured.

Of course we have to investigate cases of injury like this. However, the biological test materials collected from the scene at that time were severely damaged, and it has been impossible to identify the murderer. The drunk man was so drunk that he couldn't remember who beat him.

It was not until a few years ago that the technology was upgraded and biological testing materials were comparable. That's right, it's Comrade Zeng Jian.

We asked Comrade Zeng Jian’s classmates at the time, and they said that Zeng Jian said at the time that he beat a drunkard who was harassing a woman. However, because the victim fled and there were no witnesses, the drunkard was not taken to the Public Security Bureau.

Of course we believe in Comrade Zeng Jian’s moral character, and we also believe in what Comrade Zeng Jian’s classmates say. However, Director Feng, you should also know that there is no evidence and no witnesses as to whether the drunkard harassed the woman at that time. However, there is solid evidence that he beat a drunkard, causing serious injuries and eventually amputation. "

Feng Guozhu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart: "Xiao Zeng acted bravely for justice! He should be rewarded. How can he be said to be involved in an injury case!"

Feng Guozhu believed 100% in Zeng Jian's character. He would not believe it if Zeng Jian beat others for no reason or even killed him.

"Unless the woman who was harassed can be found to come forward to testify, the matter will not be clear. But you also know that after such a long time, it is impossible to find anyone."

"This is an insult to the honor of martyrs! Xiao Zeng... Zeng Jian died in the line of duty! He is a martyr!"

The investigator slowly said: "Director Feng, I understand your feelings. Please rest assured that the superiors have made a decision. Since Comrade Zeng Jian has died in the line of duty, the matter will no longer be pursued. The victim's family learned that Comrade Zeng Jian has died in the line of duty. , and after the family conditions were poor, he also stated that he would no longer pursue the case."

Although the investigator has stated that he will not pursue this matter further and that this inquiry is just a routine verification of the situation, Feng Guozhu still feels like he is holding back a ball of fire.

Feng Guozhu sneered: "If Xiao Zeng has not died in the line of duty, are you still planning to fire him? If not, you will have to be sentenced and compensate the rapist?"

The investigator was silent for a moment and said: "Director Feng, you should be clear about the procedures and the legal provisions."

He acquiesced to Feng Guozhu's statement.

"snort."

Feng Guozhu groaned and hung up the phone.

Zeng Jian loves the profession of security guard so much. If he were still alive, he would be facing the situation of being fired from his position, going to jail, or even having to pay compensation. He would not know how sad he would be.

His whole life will be ruined by this.

Recalling Zeng Jian, who had passed away for a long time, and recalling the image of that young man full of vigor and sense of justice, Feng Guozhu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if you die in the line of duty... at least you don't have to endure these bad things anymore. What the hell..."

Feng Guozhu shook his head sadly.

After resting for a while in the office, he got up and left again.

He did not go home, but came to the nursing home, intending to visit Zeng Jian's father.

Zeng Jian's father's Alzheimer's symptoms seem to be getting worse. Not only was he confused, he became violent. At the same time, due to unknown changes in his body, his lower body was paralyzed and he was unable to urinate or defecate independently, but his upper body began to become very strong.

It’s easy to see what it means to be an irritable, incommunicable Alzheimer’s patient with a strong upper body.

"Uncle, I'm Xiao Feng, I'm here..."

Snapped!

A piece of cold steamed bun hit Feng Guozhu directly in the face, making him almost fall down with stars in his eyes. When I went to see Zeng Jian's father again, I saw the old man roaring fiercely: "You also want to eat my flesh, don't you! Get out of here, you evil ghost!"

Next to Feng Guozhu, several medical staff were timid and did not dare to step forward. After a long time, several strong caregivers came up and forcibly fixed Mr. Zeng to the hospital bed.

But even so, Mr. Zeng still kept cursing.

Feng Guozhu held a wet towel to apply to the face hit by the steamed bun, and talked with Mr. Zeng's attending doctor with a wry smile.

This nursing home has better conditions and is also equipped with a hospital and doctors. At the beginning, Feng Guozhu obtained a large amount of pension for Zeng Jian. Together with Mr. Zeng's pension and medical insurance, the three items combined would only be enough for him to enjoy his old age here.

"Mr. Zeng, he..."

"Alzheimer's disease cannot be cured. It can only be delayed through rehabilitation." The attending doctor sighed: "However, there are other reasons for people like Mr. Zeng to become so irritable..."

Feng Guozhu was startled: "What's the reason?"

"A relatively rare genetic disease, a brain lesion." The attending doctor said a long disease name before continuing: "People with this disease usually develop the disease before the age of thirty, with early symptoms. The main symptoms are headaches, which may lead to confusion, irritability, etc. If no intervention is performed, the patient will eventually die from brain complications."

"Is there a cure?"

There are many rare diseases that have no cure.

The attending doctor gave an answer that made Feng Guozhu breath a sigh of relief: "It can't be cured, but it can be alleviated and relieve the patient's pain to a certain extent."

"Then let's treat it."

The doctor was a little embarrassed: "It's very expensive. You have to go to a big hospital."

"how much is it?"

"At least half a million."

The attending doctor advised: "Based on Mr. Zeng's physical condition, he can live for another two or three years at most. There is not much therapeutic significance. It is better not to bother and save some money. Don't end up with both people and money. Some time ago Mr. Zeng’s nephew and younger brother came to see him and had the same opinion."

A sneer appeared on Feng Guozhu's face.

Mr. Zeng’s son died, and his wife also died. When Mr. Zeng passed away, no one in the family would be left. He also has a house in his name. If Mr. Zeng is gone, who will own the house?

It must go to his brother and nephew.

If you want to treat Mr. Zeng, you have to sell your house.

In this case, how could Mr. Zeng’s brother and nephew treat him?

But Feng Guozhu certainly cannot tolerate this happening.

What happened to both people and money? At least the old man can suffer less in the last part of his life, and this house will not be given to outsiders.

Presumably Zeng Jian has a soul in heaven and will definitely choose this way.

As Zeng Jian's superior, Feng Guozhu felt that he had the obligation to take care of Mr. Zeng.

At this moment, Feng Guozhu had already thought up several ways to stop those who coveted Mr. Zeng's inheritance.

After finalizing the matter, Feng Guozhu was just about to say goodbye and leave, when something suddenly occurred to his mind. He stopped, turned around, and looked at the doctor again: "You said... Mr. Zeng's encephalopathy is hereditary? And it usually develops before the age of thirty? It cannot be cured but can only be alleviated?"

The doctor looked at Feng Guozhu in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"This...is the incidence rate high?"

"Very high." The doctor nodded: "In fact, it is rare for Mr. Zeng to get sick at such an old age."

Feng Guozhu nodded silently.

He did not stay any longer, but went directly to the downstairs of Zeng Jian's former home, wanting to first roughly assess how much the house could be sold for.

Although this house is considered a haunted house because of Zeng Jian's "suicide" case, it is still a house after all and is quite valuable.

But before entering the community, I saw many police cars parked here and warning tapes were pulled up at the scene.

I randomly called a security guard over and asked about the situation. The security guard said: "I just received a report. There was a renovation project in this community and the load-bearing wall was smashed. Some people still found cracks in the wall of their home before they exploded. of."

"Smashing the load-bearing wall? Did that family have a headache?"

"Who says it isn't?"

The security guard sighed: "We have already checked, and the house that was renovated was extremely poor. Even the down payment and decoration money were borrowed, and they bought the house forcibly for the sake of their children's marriage.

Now this whole building has become a dangerous building. How many houses and how much money is there? How can we afford to pay for it... How should it end? "

A house may be the result of decades of hard work by a family.

Now, it's all ruined.

Feng Guozhu suddenly felt excited in his heart.

Isn't it the building where Zeng Jian's home is located?

"What building number is the one who smashed the load-bearing wall?"

"Building Six."

Feng Guozhu's heart sank rapidly.

Zeng Jian's home is Building No. 6.
