Chapter 3 Water Tower Female Corpse 3

　　When Qin Ke woke up again, it was already a day later, she had been unconscious for twenty whole hours.

　　Qin Ke looked at her surroundings with some confusion, her consciousness was still not fully awake, what met her eyes was an entire white wall, and her nose smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant water.

　　Her hands were wrapped in bandages, as was her body, and even her head.

　　Now the whole shape was similar to a mummy.

　　Qin Ke's eyes looked towards the table next to her, on top of which besides the hospital's hot water bottle there was also a plate of strawberries, each full and watery, looking very tasty.

　　This should be for her to eat, right?

　　Qin Ke thought and put the plate up, since arriving in this inexplicable world, she has not eaten anything, now so hungry.

　　Just as Qin Ke opened her mouth wide and prepared to eat, the door was opened.

　　Several police officers walked in from outside, the leader was the one who saved her.

　　His clothes were buttoned to the top, his sleeves were half rolled up, revealing a sturdy arm, and he was holding a document in his hand.

　　He came in through the doorway, and Qin Ke saw his eyes.

　　Those eyes were sharp, but they also made people feel safe.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan's gaze lingered on the strawberries in her hand for a second and then reframed back to her face.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'You're awake?'

　　Qin Ke quickly ate the strawberry in her hand before nodding.

　　This action of hers also made Wang Hao firm up his thoughts, sure enough, it was the strawberries that the victim was talking about before she fainted yesterday! They actually didn't believe it, now their hearts are convinced.

　　However, Wang Hao also found Qin Ke's behaviour amazing, a girl who looked so weak and was seriously injured was actually able to kill an attacking rabid dog without fear, it was really unbelievable.

　　After sending her to the hospital, the doctor was a bit dumbfounded, she lost blood seriously, able to hold out until now is simply too amazing, not to mention the body of multiple fractures, the head by a strong impact, and even the position of the chest there is a penetrating wound, and the arm of the bite wound is also very serious.

　　These wounds as long as a random one will be painful, but Qin Ke can be alone until the police came.

　　What's even more amazing is that the first thing she wanted to do after the police came was to eat strawberries.

　　Could this be the power of eating?

　　Wang Hao thought in his heart, looking at the pale Qin Ke on the hospital bed, he felt that maybe he could buy her something to eat later.

　　This misunderstanding was simply huge.

　　This misunderstanding from the first meeting had continued for years, and later after Qin Ke and the people from the Serious Crimes Unit became acquainted, they gave her strawberry flavoured snacks every time, which made Qin Ke think that it was them, the police officers, who looked as hard as iron, but had a young girl's heart inside.

　　Never in a million years did she expect the clown to be herself.

　　The scene returns to the ward.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan found a stool and sat in front of Qin Ke, letting half of the others go out and the other half sit down just the same. This was to not give Qin Ke more pressure.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Does your body still hurt?'

　　Qin Ke nodded.

　　But actually, she wasn't particularly in pain right now, before she fought that mad dog, she had spent twenty gold coins in exchange for the one-time skill of reducing pain by fifty per cent (which lasted for three days), so she was able to hold on until the police came.

　　And after entering the hospital, the original wound had been treated, so it didn't really hurt much.

　　But in the eyes of the others, she was supposed to be in pain.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Hello Ms Qin, my name is Zhao Lin Yuan, we're from the Major Crimes Unit of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Guiyuan City, and now there are some questions we'd like to ask you to co-operate with the investigation.'

　　Qin Ke: '... Just call me Qin Ke.'

　　Using a professional term like Ms Qin, she always felt that it was a bad flag.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Okay, Qin Ke, can you answer a few questions for us?'

　　This time the nurse lady walked in, 'The patient is still very weak and needs plenty of rest.'

　　Qin Hao: 'We'll just ask a few questions.'

　　Nurse lady: 'Can't you guys ask again in a couple of days?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'I'm sorry, not really, the murderer is still on the run right now, with more clues we'll be able to catch the murderer faster in order to prevent more people from being hurt.'

　　The nurse frowned, her young face was all disapproval, but the police had a valid reason, she could only say, 'Then please hurry up, the patient is seriously injured, she needs to rest now!'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan nodded and signalled that the nurse could go out.

　　Nurse lady: 'You!'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Police on the case.'

　　Qin Ke looked at them with the feeling of watching an ancient dog blood drama.

　　This feeling became even stronger after seeing Zhao Lin Yuan looking at the nurse's back even as she walked out.

　　But Zhao Lin Yuan's reason for looking at the nurse was completely different from what Qin Ke thought.

　　There was something strange about this nurse, preventing them from having contact with the victim three times.

　　He glanced at the other policeman, and that policeman turned around and followed the nurse out.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan looked at Qin Ke: 'Do you feel better now?'

　　Qin Ke: 'No.'

　　Standing in front of her bed with Zhao Lin Yuan was another slightly shorter policeman, wearing black-framed glasses and slightly curly hair, looking like a mixed race person.

　　He saw Qin Ke looking at him and bent his eyes to greet her.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Can you describe the murderer?'

　　Qin Ke shook her head, 'I didn't see his face.'

　　Qin Ke's words made Zhao Lin Yuan frown, how could she not have seen the murderer?

　　In this kidnapping case, the kidnapper's target should be Hu Xin'er, and the man who was with Hu Xin'er was determined through investigation to be Hu Xin'er's boyfriend, Zhou Ming.

　　Now both were killed by the kidnappers and died in the sewer.

　　The only remaining witness is Qin Ke.

　　So the police must find out clues from Qin Ke here.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Think again.'

　　Qin Ke looked at Zhao Lin Yuan seriously, 'I don't know what the murderer looks like, he was wearing a mask and hat, the only thing I remember is that he seemed to have a scar at the corner of his eye, if you want me to describe his height and weight and what he was wearing, I can talk about it, but didn't you see it too?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'The man I saw in the sewers yesterday is not the same person who kidnapped you.'

　　Qin Ke: 'Why?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan frowned, and the curly-haired policeman next to him spoke up, his tone tinged with scepticism, 'Miss Qin, do you really not remember? According to the footage recorded on the CCTV, you were facing the murderer, you must have seen his face.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'At that time, the location where the three of you were kidnapped was the back of the old building in the back of the Royal Water Bay Linjiang District, there was no CCTV installed there, but the CCTV at the intersection captured the back of the kidnapper as he drove away with you, the kidnapper didn't cover his face, and he was even taller in stature.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'The murderer didn't want to leave a survivor when he did it, so he wouldn't cover it up, during all of this, you didn't see the murderer's appearance?'

　　Qin Ke: '...'

　　Under normal circumstances this must have been seen, but she wasn't the original victim who was taken, she didn't know, how can this situation not be explained ah.

　　After thinking about it, Qin Ke covered her head, 'You may not believe me when I say it, but I think I have lost my memory.'

　　The unfolding of a million surprises, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

　　Curly-haired cop: 'Are you kidding us?'

　　Qin Ke: 'No, I'm serious.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: '... Call the doctor in.'

　　The doctor soon came in and after conducting a series of tests determined that Qin Ke had really lost her memory.

　　Doctor: 'The back of the patient's head has suffered a strong impact and the experiences of the past few days have been a strong stimulus for her, selective memory loss is possible under these circumstances.'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'How long will it take to recover?'

　　The doctor shook his head, 'This can't be said, the human brain is a very complex system, until now medicine has not been able to penetrate the mysteries of it, based on past experience, it may be possible to recover after a while, or it may never recover.'

　　Walking within the corridor of the hospital, Zhao Lin Yuan looked at the curly-haired policeman next to him, 'What do you think?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan's question was clueless, but with years of tacit understanding, Xie Yu still understood what he meant the first time.

　　Xie Yu was very proficient in interpreting micro-expressions.

　　Xie Yu: 'She lost her memory which is a fact that shouldn't be wrong, and she didn't show any signs of lying, her expression was natural when describing the murderer, however, she seems to be hiding something.'

　　'This is very strange, could it be that she and the murderer know each other?'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'Impossible, she hated the murderer very much, in the sewers she was seriously injured, but still let me go after the murderer.'

　　Xie Yu: 'There's also a very strange point, when talking about her address, the victim's expression has a short period of bewilderment, for this address she feels very unfamiliar, selective amnesia will even forget this?'

　　There are too many doubts on Qin Ke, at this moment, Zhao Lin Yuan buried the seeds of doubt.

　　At this time, Zhao Lin Yuan and Xie Yu's mobile phones rang at the same time.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan picked up the phone, and sure enough ...

　　On the other end of the phone, 'Zhao team is not good, something happened at the Sky Flower Garden!'

　　Zhao Lin Yuan: 'We'll be right there.'

　　Saying that and briefly explaining two sentences to another police officer, Zhao Lin Yuan and Xie Yu rushed to the scene of the crime.

　　When they returned to the hospital once more, Qin Ke had long since disappeared.

　　Zhao Lin Yuan looked at the small policeman who stayed behind and asked in a cold voice, 'Where is the person?'

　　Small policeman: 'I don't know, I just went to the toilet, when I came back the person was gone, before I went out she was still on an IV, I thought it would be fine, I didn't think that when I came back the person didn't know where she went.'

　　Xie Yu: 'Are you stupid! To actually leave while watching someone, now the murderer hasn't been caught yet, and Qin Ke is the only eyewitness, the murderer will most likely want to kill to silence him!'

　　The little policeman pales and can't say anything.

　　Xie Yu was still lecturing people, Zhao Lin Yuan stopped him, 'Adjust the surveillance first.'

　　The hospital was different from other places, the surveillance equipment here was very complete, and they quickly found the girl's trail.

　　She walked out of the hospital by herself.

　　With all the bandages, where was she going?

　　Inside an office at this time, two people were talking, and the figure of one of them was very similar to the kidnapper captured on the surveillance video.

　　He was standing in front of his desk with his head down, being reprimanded.

　　The man wearing a black suit behind his back sneered, 'Useless thing, just a woman can't solve it.'

　　The kidnapper looked at him nervously, 'I'm sorry boss, please give me another chance, I will definitely handle it.'

　　The man in the suit laughed, 'She's seen the face, if you don't solve it you know what I mean.'

　　Kidnapper: 'I get it I get it, but there's news from the hospital that she's lost her memory.'

　　The man in the suit placed the lighter in his hand on the table, making a slight thumping sound, and the mere sound of it made the kidnapper shudder.

　　Man in suit: 'Amnesia? Amnesia always comes back to you one day, and only the dead are the safest in this world. How come you can't bear to kill her?'

　　Kidnapper: 'She also does not know Hu Xiner, and that has nothing to do with that incident, just happened to pass by, otherwise we .....'

　　Suit man: 'Otherwise we let her go? When you want to spare her first think about whether anyone has spared you, think about your daughter, think about if you go in jail, she still live.'

　　The kidnapper was silent for half a second: '... I know.'

　　He didn't want to kill anyone, and he also knew that the girl was just innocently involved, even she was about the same age as his daughter, but, sorry ...

　　The kidnapper walked out of the office, the sun shining on his face.

　　It was a very ordinary, middle-aged man who couldn't be found walking through a crowd.
