companion ghost

When Shen Lie and Ning Yuan arrived at the scene of the crime, the cordon was blocked and the police officers had already arrived.

Shen Lie raised the yellow cordon to signal Ning Yuan to come in first, then he lowered the cordon, took two steps and saw the victim lying on the ground in a pool of blood and snow.

James was squatting aside to perform an autopsy on him, and Shen Lie stood beside Casey and asked, "What's going on?"

Casey pointed to a man who was being recorded by Gloria next to him: "Where is the witness? He passed by here, and the deceased fell from the roof and almost hit him."

Ning Yuan followed Casey's finger and glanced at the witness: "It's unlucky enough."

This is great for Valentine's Day.

Shen Lie hit the nail on the head: "If it came down from the roof, did you jump by yourself or someone pushed it?"

James squatted on the ground and raised his head: "It's hard to say yet, but I'm leaning towards the latter. The deceased had many old injuries that had been formed over time."

Dino said, "Okay, let us know when you get the results back to the medical examiner's office."

James gestured to his assistants to carry the dead man away.

Casey looked up at Ren'ai Hospital and patted Dino: "I'll go to the roof to have a look."

Dino said, "I'll go up with you."

Casey nodded and walked towards Ren'ai Hospital. Dino walked beside him. When he was in the elevator, Dino asked softly, "How is Karl?"

As soon as Carl was mentioned, Casey smiled subconsciously and softly: "It's still the same, but he misses you a lot."

In fact, it's not really thinking about it at all, it's simply thinking about it, and it's always acting like a baby and wanting to play with Dino.

Dino laughed.

At this time, the elevator arrived with a ding, and the elevator could not reach the top floor. They could only get off the elevator first, and then walked half a flight of stairs to the rooftop.

There were very few people on the top floor of the hospital. As soon as Casey and Dino got out of the elevator, they heard a slight sound coming from the roof. The two looked at each other, and felt very vigilantly. Hold it in front of your eyes, and walk towards the rooftop carefully.

The rooftop was very dark, but fortunately it was a snowy night, and it was brighter than usual. After checking the rooftop separately, Casey and Dino found no one. At this moment, Casey heard Dino say, "Cathy, this way."

Casey put the gun back on his waist: "What's wrong?"

Dino pointed to an iron plate hanging in the air: "It was probably the sound made by the wind blowing just now."

Casey breathed a sigh of relief, stood by the railing of the roof and looked down: "This should be the place where the deceased fell, and there are still scratches."

Dino looked at the scratches on the railing, then squatted down to look at the marks on the ground, and said, "I saw a pair of footprints in this piece of snow, probably not murder."

Casey hummed.

Dino stood up, and Casey had already stepped in front of him and stood still.Mercy Hospital is quite tall. Casey stood on the top floor and looked from a distance. It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the lights in New York City were still brightly lit. This city seemed to never know what night and silence are.No matter how many people die at this moment, in this deep night, and how many people are struggling desperately in life, it will always be like this.

Casey was in a trance. He liked this city. This city gave him friends and a career. He also hated this city because there was too much dirt and filth here, and it also brought him bone-destroying pain. despair.

Dino looked at Casey's back. Casey is a very manly person. His figure is also very good-looking with wide shoulders and narrow waist, which will definitely not make people feel thin.

But Dino looked at him like this, but just wanted to go and hug him.

In fact he did, because the next moment Kathy felt a warm arm.

Casey knew that he should break free, he shouldn't let himself continue in this embrace, it would be unfair to Dino... But on this snowy night, on this rooftop overlooking the entire New York City, something lightly touched broke his heart.

When Casey and Dino came down, the body hadn't been taken away, it was just covered with a white cloth, Shen Lie and Ning Yuan were talking in a low voice, when seeing them coming down, Ning Yuan asked, "What did you find upstairs?" ?"

Casey shook his head with an unnatural expression on his face, but Dino said calmly, "I think it was a suicide. There are no extra footprints on the snow on the roof, but let the forensic department take a look."

Ning Yuan nodded, and when he was about to say something, he heard a scream. He was startled, and turned around to see a middle-aged woman, who was hysterically trying to break in beside the cordon, but was stopped by a patrolman.

Dino walked over and signaled the patrolman to let go of her, and she rushed over immediately, about to throw herself on the corpse. Casey quickly hugged her, "Ma'am, calm down—"

"That's, that's my son—"

Casey still hugged her tightly, preventing her from jumping on the dead man.

Dino reassured her: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, please forgive me—"

After a while, she calmed down a little, but she was still crying.

Ning Yuan motioned for Casey to let her go, and he walked up to the woman: "Ma'am, what's your name?"

"Jones Mead," she sobbed, "that's my boy, Visa Mead..."

Ning Yuan patted her on the shoulder: "Can you tell me why Visa is in Ren'ai Hospital? Is he uncomfortable?"

"No," Jones wiped away tears, "we didn't plan to come to Ren'ai Hospital, but he said he needed to go to the bathroom when he passed by the hospital. I went to a nearby Internet cafe, and when I came out, I heard someone say that someone danced—no, my child—"

Ning Yuan sighed inwardly, took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped her tears: "Ms. Meade, would you mind going back to the police station with us?"

Jones shook his head: "My son is dead, he couldn't have committed suicide, as long as you find the murderer, let me do anything!"

Ning Yuan poured Jones a cup of coffee: "Be careful - I remember you said that you didn't go to Ren'ai Hospital, so where did you go?"

Jones held the coffee cup in both hands, and was a little embarrassed at this moment: "It's very—"

Ning Yuan smiled at her: "Don't worry, I won't judge you, I just want to help you."

"Okay," Jones swallowed, "I took him back to Jishi Rehabilitation Center."

"A rehab center?" Ning Yuan repeated, "No offense intended, but is your son addicted to drugs?"

"What? No, no, no," Jones denied. "Visa just has internet addiction, he doesn't do drugs."

Ning Yuan nodded and continued to ask: "Isn't it the first time for him to go to a rehab center? Because I noticed that you just said 'back to the rehab center'?"

"Yes," Jones replied, "he has been there for almost half a year, and the effect is very good. He hasn't touched a computer for a long time. I thought he was going to succeed, and I can get back my cute and cute old man." My son..." At this point, she began to cry again.

Ning Yuan did not know how many times he sighed.
