"I was not in the hospital at noon. I went back to the hospital."

After Xu Lang heard what Xiao Zhang said, his suppressed anger suddenly rose up. He looked at Xiao Zhang and asked, "What are you doing back at the institute?"

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and explained: "Recently, there have been many burglaries in our jurisdiction. At noon today, we found traces of the thief and were about to arrest him. Everyone in the house went there, but no one was there.

When I was looking after the house, the director called me and asked me to go back and come to the hospital later."

After listening to Xiao Zhang's explanation, Xu Lang almost choked himself to death. Well, Xiao Zhang's reasons were very sufficient, even Xu Lang said something.

So, Xu Lang shook his head and did not continue to struggle with this issue, but asked: "When did you return to the hospital?"

"It's past three o'clock."

"Is Zhang Jinzhong still there after you come back?" Xu Lang asked.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said: "After I returned to the hospital, I opened the door and took a look and found that he was still lying on the hospital bed."

"Did you see him in person, or did you see his back?" Xu Lang asked.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said: "When I opened the door, his back was facing me and he was covered with a quilt. He must have fallen asleep."

"So, when you came back, you weren't sure whether Zhang Jinzhong was still in the hospital bed, right?" Xu Lang asked, looking into Xiao Zhang's eyes.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while, nodded, lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Xu Lang was completely defeated by this young policeman who had only just entered the public security system. He no longer knew what to say.

Xu Lang didn't plan to ask Xiao Zhang anything anymore, because Xu Lang knew that even if he asked, Xiao Zhang wouldn't know. It would be better to investigate it himself. So, Xu Lang turned his head and looked at the two

The little nurse asked: "Where is the hospital's monitoring room?"

"On the top floor." One of the young nurses said.

"Please take me there."

The little nurse nodded, then led Xu Lang out of the ward and up the stairs to the monitoring room on the top floor.

When going upstairs, Xu Lang asked the nurse: "Are you responsible for the patient in the ward just now?"

The little nurse nodded and said, "Yes."

"Didn't he get an injection today?" Xu Lang asked.

The little nurse nodded and said: "The injection, a total of four bottles, are basically anti-inflammatory. I finished the injection in the morning."

"Then did you notice that the patient left the ward?" Xu Lang asked again.

The two young nurses looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "No."

While they were talking, Xu Lang and the others had already arrived at the monitoring room.

After arriving at the monitoring room, Xu Lang asked the two young nurses to go back to work, while Xu Lang entered the monitoring room alone.

There were two security guards in the control room, sitting on chairs, smoking and chatting. When Xu Lang came in, they immediately stopped chatting and looked at Xu Lang. One of the security guards asked:

"What do you do? You can't just come in here."

Xu Lang had no intention of talking nonsense to them now. He took out his ID, handed it to the security guard who asked the question, and then said: "Get me the surveillance video from the sixth floor at noon today."

After reading Xu Lang's ID, the two security guards knew that Xu Lang was a police officer. When they heard what Xu Lang said, they did not hesitate at all and immediately called several surveillance cameras on the sixth floor at noon.

The surveillance video started playing at 11 noon. At that time, Xiao Zhang was still sitting on a chair outside Zhang Jinzhong's ward. Obviously, Zhang Jinzhong was still in the hospital at this time.

At about 11:30 p.m., Xiao Zhang received a call. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone, stood up, pushed open Zhang Jinzhong's ward, stood at the door, looked at it, and then closed the door.

Just left.

Xu Lang didn't want to waste time, so he asked the security guard to move in quickly.

About half an hour after Xiao Zhang left the hospital, the door of Zhang Jinzhong's ward opened and Zhang Jinzhong walked out. He first stuck his head out and looked around outside the ward, then he walked out and headed towards the bathroom.

go in the direction.

However, in the surveillance video for the next hour, Xu Lang did not see Zhang Jinzhong walking out in a hospital gown. Instead, he saw a cleaning staff wearing cleaning clothes and a hat walking out.

Xu Lang felt strange at first, why did Zhang Jinzhong stay in the toilet for so long? Then he thought of the cleaning staff who came out of the toilet, so Xu Lang shouted: "Stop."

The security guard immediately pressed the pause button and looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled look.

"Go back."

The security guard played the video back bit by bit. Xu Lang couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked them how to operate this thing. After figuring it out, Xu Lang started playing the video himself.

The video returned to the scene where Zhang Jinzhong came out of his ward and walked into the bathroom. Xu Lang did not fast forward this time, but looked at it carefully.

About twenty minutes after Zhang Jinzhong entered the bathroom, a man dressed as a cleaning staff came out. He was wearing a hat and holding a mop in his left hand. He walked out of the bathroom. After the cleaning staff walked out of the bathroom, he walked straight to the stairs.

Xu Lang rewinded the video a little further, pressed the pause button, and the face of a cleaning staff appeared on the screen. Xu Lang watched

Looking at this face, I immediately understood that this so-called cleaning staff was actually Zhang Jinzhong himself. He walked into the bathroom, changed into the cleaning staff's clothes, and left the hospital in a swaggering manner.

Zhang Jinzhong left the hospital at about 1:45 pm, and Xiao Zhang returned to the hospital at around 3 pm. By that time, Zhang Jinzhong had already left, and Xiao Zhang saw the man lying on the hospital bed.

The back view should be Zhang Jinzhong's deliberate disguise. From this point of view, Zhang Jinzhong had already prepared to escape. However, what Xu Lang couldn't figure out was that Zhang Jinzhong managed to escape from death with great difficulty, and the wound on his wrist was treated in time.

With the medical treatment, his life safety has also been guaranteed. From this case, there is no doubt that Zhang Jinzhong is the victim. Why did he choose to leave the hospital at this time? What did he want to do? In other words, what was he going to do when he left the hospital?

Could it be that there is some truth that he has not told Xu Lang?

Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked the security guard to call up the surveillance video of the first floor and back door of the hospital. Everything was as Xu Lang imagined. Zhang Jinzhong, wearing cleaning clothes, walked from the stairwell to the first floor, and then walked from the hospital's

He left through the back door. According to the surveillance video from the back door of the hospital, after Zhang Jinzhong left the hospital, he directly took a taxi and left.

After Xu Lang wrote down the taxi's license plate number, he left the hospital's monitoring room.

When Xu Lang walked out of the monitoring room, he found Xiao Zhang standing outside the monitoring room, looking at Xu Lang at a loss.

After seeing Xu Lang come out, Xiao Zhang said quickly: "I'm sorry, Team Leader Xu, it's all my fault, I..."

Xu Lang waved his hand, interrupting Xiao Zhang's apology. He looked at Xiao Zhang and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Zhang Minhao. I am twenty-two years old and have only worked at the police station for a short time."

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will give you a task."

"Guaranteed to complete the task."

When he heard that a task was assigned to him, Zhang Minhao immediately stood at attention and saluted Xu Lang.

Xu Lang smiled, shook his head, and said, "I haven't said anything about the mission yet, but you have to promise me who gave it to you? Your instructor or your leader?"

Zhang Minhao put down his saluting hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Xu Lang did not continue to tease Zhang Minhao, but handed Zhang Minhao the license plate number of the taxi that Zhang Jinzhong took after leaving the hospital from the surveillance video and said: "Go and check the driver of this taxi and ask

Ask him where he took Zhang Jinzhong."

After Zhang Minhao took the note, he read it, then stood at attention, saluted Xu Lang again, and said in a deep voice: "Promise to complete the task."

Xu Lang was speechless. He patted Zhang Minhao on the shoulder and said, "Go and do your work."

Zhang Minhao nodded, turned and left.

After Zhang Minhao left, Xu Lang, who had a smile on his face just now, immediately turned gloomy and took out his cell phone, preparing to call Du Ziqiao and ask the people from the Second Criminal Investigation Team to help find Zhang Jinzhong's whereabouts.

However, when Xu Lang took out his cell phone and was about to dial, his cell phone rang first.

"Jingle Bell......"

Xu Lang took a look and found that the call was from Du Ziqiao. Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about whether Sun Qihang's investigation had yielded results. Thinking of this, Xu Lang answered the phone.

"Has the investigation yielded results?" Xu Lang asked.

"Come to Qihang Garment Factory quickly, something happened." Du Ziqiao said anxiously on the other end of the phone.

"Something happened?"

Hearing what Du Ziqiao said, Xu Lang's heart suddenly sank. Although Xu Lang didn't know where the Qihang Garment Factory was, when he heard the name, Xu Lang knew that the Qihang Garment Factory was Sun Shihao's company, and Du Ziqiao asked him to go

Qihang Garment Factory, then it must be related to Sun Qihang's case.

"What happened?" Xu Lang asked quickly.

"Sun Qihang has appeared. He is at Qihang Garment Factory now. Come here quickly. I have sent the address to your mobile phone. Hurry."

After saying this, Du Ziqiao hung up the phone before Xu Lang could ask any more questions.

The phone was hung up, but Xu Lang's brows furrowed.

Just now, Xu Lang received a call saying that Zhang Jinzhong was missing from the hospital, but now, Sun Qihang, whose life and death was unknown, appeared, and the time and place of his appearance were very special, which made Xu Lang begin to suspect that Zhang Jinzhong was missing.

Is there any intrinsic connection with the appearance of Sun Qihang?

However, now is not the time to think about these problems, we should hurry up and rush to Qihang Garment Factory.

After Xu Lang put down his phone, he opened the chat software and saw the location of Qihang Garment Factory that Du Ziqiao sent him. Xu Lang quickly walked to the elevator door. When the elevator came up, Xu Lang took the elevator and left the hospital.

————

When Xu Lang drove to the Qihang Garment Factory, he found several police cars parked outside the Qihang Garment Factory. In addition, there were fire trucks and ambulances. At the door, there were crowds of people watching. The police

Order is being maintained, a cordon has been set up at the scene, and Du Ziqiao is talking to members of the Second Criminal Investigation Team and the captain of the fire brigade.

Xu Lang walked through the crowd and came to the edge of the cordon. He pinned his ID on his chest, raised the cordon and walked into the scene, coming to Du Ziqiao's side.
