“Wake up, can you still hear me?”
“He needs first aid, he seems to be in some trouble.”
“How long until the ambulance arrives?”
“We need health care workers.”
Just when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei arrived at the scene in a Red Cross commercial vehicle, a man was lying on the side of the road, and many people were already surrounding him.
The ground was covered in blood.
Li Lifang, who arrived in the same car, is a volunteer of the Red Cross Society, and her real job is a doctor. He squeezed through the crowd with a first aid kit on his back and walked in: “Please give way, don’t crowd in here.”
“Help him quickly, he is dying.”
“Know.”
“Need any help?”
“Quiet!”
When Li Lifang was working, she didn’t need anyone to disturb her, and the surrounding area soon became quiet.
Gu Chen stepped forward to check on the injured person. To his surprise, he knew the injured person, Wu Qi, who was about to exchange places with him just now.
“Why is it him?”
“Junior brother Gu, how do you know him?” Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen curiously.
“That’s right. He was standing next to me on the stage just now. He is a teacher from No. 8 Middle School. His name is Wu Qi.”
Li Lifang looked back at Gu Chen, then frowned: “It seems that he is in danger. I can only help him disinfect and stop the bleeding. Whether he can survive until the ambulance arrives depends on his own luck.”
“How was he injured?” asked a staff member wearing a vest.
“I was hit by a car.” A bystander interrupted.
Gu Chen took a brief look at the surroundings and listened to the discussions of several people. A bicycle was parked on the side of the road intact, and this kind of place was at an intersection.
Strangely, there are no surveillance cameras at this intersection.
And Gu Chen has never seen this kind of situation before…
Logically speaking, there must be surveillance cameras wherever there is an intersection, but this place is a little special.
Intersecting with this urban and rural highway is an unrepaired dirt road that directly connects to a village on the roadside.
Construction agencies are also very particular about planning, and these equipment will not be installed until the road is repaired.
When faced with a project with huge financial costs such as road repair, infrastructure investment has always been calculated carefully.
Of course, this also depends on the financial situation. Xicheng has invested a lot in transportation this year. At this point, it is mainly linked to finance.
“It’s strange. Since Wu Qi is a contestant, why is his car intact? But he was seriously injured?” Gu Chen felt that this was a bit strange.
In fact, this is not logical, at least it cannot explain his current situation.
“Comrade policeman, he was hit by an off-road vehicle.” A tall and thin old man said: “At that time, he parked his bicycle aside, maybe he was about to get off the bicycle to relieve himself. As a result, an off-road vehicle came quickly. The car knocked him to the ground.”
“Does that mean this was a hit-and-run incident? And the driver not only failed to stop to save people, but also continued to drive away?” Gu Chen asked.
The old man said angrily: “Do you need to say this? I just heard a loud bang at my house on the roadside, and then I looked back and saw that a black off-road vehicle had already driven away. I saw that there was someone there. If you get hurt, just run over and check on the situation.”
“Then do you remember the license plate of the vehicle that caused the accident?” Lu Weiwei also asked quickly.
The old man waved his hand: “At my age, my memory is not good, so I don’t remember.”
“When was that time? You can always remember this, right?” Gu Chen asked again.
He has no way to rescue Wu Qi now, but at least he can find the driver who caused the accident. This is also his professional habit.
But no matter what, it is illegal for a vehicle to hit someone and run away.
“Probably… around 9:08, that should be about this time.”
“No.” As soon as the old man finished speaking, another old lady on the roadside retorted: “It should be around 8:40. I just looked at the clock at home, and then I heard a ‘bang’ outside. It must have been It’s exactly 8:40.”
“No way? Then how do I remember it was 9:15?” Another middle-aged woman put forward a new view.
At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and said: “But why do I think it is 8:53? I was working at that time, and I was thinking that I would go to the city to buy things in 7 minutes. It must be 8:53 point.”
“I’ll go, there’s too much time difference right now, right?” Lu Weiwei felt dizzy when so many witnessing times popped up at once.
She is also an old comrade who investigates cases. Although she is not so famous at Furong Police Station, she also knows that accurate time is needed for case investigation.
If someone can give the accurate time, you can go to other intersections for monitoring and investigation, and the accuracy will be higher.
After all, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going…
“Is there no control over this intersection?” Gu Chen suddenly asked Li Lifang. After all, she was the organizer.
Li Lifang was a little embarrassed: “Well… after all, the scale of our charity event this time is not very large. If the organizer is the Municipal Sports Bureau, the traffic police will specially block the road for a limited time. But for a charity event like ours, the general large troops leave the intersection Afterwards, the volunteers will evacuate. It may be that the contestant is not in good physical condition and is left alone.”
After all, the road is not his own, and it is on the outskirts of the city. It is indeed difficult to control it, and Gu Chen can understand it.
Gu Chen originally thought that Wu Qi, who was on the stage just now, was just a teacher representative. When he came to the stage to speak, his mission was over. However, he did not expect that he was also a participant in the competition and participated in the competition with the big team.
Physical strength?
Wu Qi doesn’t look like a person who exercises regularly.
At this time, Wu Qi, who was lying on the roadside, vomited blood again and twitched, making everyone step back in fright.
The blood dyed Li Lifang’s white shirt red, but she still pressed Wu Qi’s wound tightly to prevent Wu Qi from dying from excessive blood loss.
When it comes to dealing with ordinary injuries, Li Lifang still has enough experience, and she is also a good hand in the unit hospital.
But today’s unexpected situation left her at a loss, fearing that this player would die in her own hands.
So now Li Lifang’s face is also very ugly…
“If the ambulance doesn’t come, he will be finished.” Li Lifang now knows Wu Qi’s current state better than anyone else, and she is even a little desperate.
Although Gu Chen didn’t know much about first aid, he suddenly remembered that he had received a bottle of upgraded functional drink when he received a heartfelt thank you from Li Lifang.
In Gu Chen’s understanding, this kind of functional drink can be taken by others to enhance other people’s potential. The person who takes it can achieve no less than one-third of the same effect.
In this way, I wonder if the upgraded version of functional drinks can help Wu Qi? “A dead horse is a living doctor. If it succeeds, it can help Wu Qi save his life. Let’s give it a try.” Gu Chen thought and squeezed out of the crowd, turned his back to everyone, and then used his mind to extract the energy drink Upgraded version.
Soon, Gu Chen squeezed back into the crowd again.
At this moment, when everyone was at a loss, Gu Chen used his body to block Li Lifang who was trying to stop Wu Qi’s bleeding, and then quickly poured the upgraded energy drink into Wu Qi’s mouth.
Strangely enough, the upgraded version of the energy drink melted in his mouth, quickly integrated into Wu Qi’s heart and disappeared without a trace.
“Gu…Gu Chen, what are you doing?”
Li Lifang, who was trying to stop the bleeding, felt confused and asked quickly.
“It’s nothing. I just used water to clean the dirt on his mouth.” Gu Chen found an excuse to excuse it.
“Oh, that’s it.” Li Lifang breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: “Thank you, but please don’t touch him at will. He is seriously injured now.”
It was also because she was afraid that Gu Chen would make a mistake, so Li Lifang gave a kind reminder.
But coincidentally, Li Lifang suddenly discovered that Wu Qi, who was originally very haggard, suddenly began to regain color in his face.
And the blood that kept pouring out seemed to be slowly stopping.
This is great news for Li Lifang.
“The bleeding stopped? The bleeding stopped! It finally stopped!” Li Lifang exclaimed happily.
She knew that others could not understand her excitement at this moment, but she was still excited.
The bleeding stopped, which meant the man could still be saved.
Lu Weiwei also looked at Gu Chen excitedly: “Junior Brother Gu, he can still be saved, he can still be saved!”
Not long after, an ambulance siren sounded “Oh~~yo~~Oh~~yo~~” from the roadside.
The emergency personnel got out of the car and gave Wu Qi professional treatment, then carried him into the car and transferred him to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Everyone was grateful for the shocking scene just now. Everyone had saved a life in the hands of death.
“Sister Li, you are awesome.” A Red Cross staff member wearing a red vest couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
“Yes, Sister Li, if you hadn’t helped him stop the bleeding in time, he might have been dead.” Another female volunteer also praised.
Soon, there was a round of warm applause, and everyone expressed their affirmation of Li Lifang’s rescue action.
But Li Lifang was very surprised. She was bleeding clearly just now, but she actually had no way to control it.
But strangely enough, just a short time after Gu Chen gave him water to clean the dirt, Wu Qi miraculously stopped the bleeding, and his vitality showed obvious signs of rebounding.
This is the first time I have encountered such a strange phenomenon in my many years of medical practice.
“What did Gu Chen do to him?” Li Lifang turned to look for Gu Chen.
However, at this moment, Gu Chen was in front of a witness, trying to understand what happened.
“Uncle, you said the time of the incident was 9:08, are you sure?” Gu Chen asked.
“Is it still fake?” The old man said confidently: “I just looked at the watch at that time. After all, you know that my son bought it for me yesterday.”
Gu Chenxin said I didn’t know that, and then continued to ask: “Can you show me your watch?”
“But…it’s okay.” It was rare for the old man to show off a good watch in front of Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took a look and saw that the logo was still a big brand, but it looked strange.
“It’s almost there.” After comparing the time on his cell phone, Gu Chen couldn’t help but smile and said, “Your watch is 3 minutes ahead of time. Adjust it yourself.”
“Almost?” The old man was also stunned and said with emotion: “How could there be such a small problem with the things my son gave me? Isn’t it a famous brand?”
“Is this a new watch?” Lu Weiwei asked.
“Yes, you just bought it for me yesterday, and I just put it on my hand today.” The old man said.
“I take it that what your son gave you is not A-grade, right? He talks about famous brands all day long, is he embarrassed now?” An old lady next to you was now proud.
This old man often babbles in front of him.
“Then where did you see the time?” Gu Chen continued to ask the timid old lady.
“My clock.” The old lady said.
Then Gu Chen looked at the other two middle-aged women and men, both of whom also said that it was the clock at home.
When asked about other onlookers, no one looked at the specific time in detail.
“Can you take me to see it?” Gu Chen was also quite interested.
A traffic accident actually asked about so many widely different times. It must be clarified.
When the old lady, middle-aged woman and middle-aged man saw that Gu Chen was a police officer, they all nodded in agreement.
The old lady waved: “Comrade police, follow me.”
The village is not far from the road, about 20 meters away, connected by an unrepaired dirt road, which is full of potholes and difficult to walk.
Lu Weiwei was wearing short-heeled leather shoes. She was afraid of spraining her feet, so she grabbed Gu Chen’s arm for support.
But the old lady leaned on her back with her hands, wearing cloth shoes and hunched her back, jumping back and forth between several pits from time to time, feeling as light as a swallow.
“This is my home, come in and have a glass of water.” The old lady said.
Gu Chen waved his hand and refused: “Thank you for your kindness. Is this the time you were looking at at that time?”
“Yes, yes.” The old lady nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and took out their mobile phones to compare.
“It’s 25 minutes late?” Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows.
The old lady waved her hand: “I don’t know, anyway, I usually just watch this clock when I work.
The middle-aged woman and middle-aged man couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing this.
“My clock seems to be moving faster too.” The middle-aged woman said, “But I haven’t set it yet. My house is next door. Why don’t you go and take a look?”
Lu Weiwei sighed and could only continue to follow.
Residents of this village like to hang a clock in front of the hall. After comparing again, the result is 10 minutes faster.
“Isn’t there an accurate one?” Lu Weiwei was a little angry, staring at the last man.
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but shrink his neck and quickly asked his youngest son beside him: “Our clock, did you say last time that it was running out of battery?”
“Yes, it seems to be more than ten minutes late.” The little boy also said with a guilty conscience.
Feeling as if he would be caught by the police if he told lies, he hid behind the middle-aged man.
Gu Chen shook his head and could only compare again. This time it was a full 12 minutes slower.
The time in everyone’s home is not accurate, but these people usually do things based on the time on the wall, and never think about changing the battery or adjusting the time.
“Oh my God! What should I do?” Lu Weiwei wrote helplessly on the manuscript: “One said it was 9:08, one said it was 8:40, one said it was 9:15, and the other said it was 9:08. 8:53, is this going to kill someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder?”
Gu Chen took the manuscript from Lu Weiwei’s hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, he began to fill in the actual errors of the four villagers under each number.
He first wrote “almost 3 minutes” under the old man’s time, which was 9:08.
Then under the time given by the old lady, which was 8:40, I wrote “25 minutes slower”.
The middle-aged woman gave the time as 9:15, and Gu Chen wrote “almost 10 minutes.”
The last time given by the middle-aged man was 8:53, and Gu Chen wrote “12 minutes slower” below.
“Junior brother Gu, what’s the use of writing this?” Lu Weiwei turned her head and looked at Gu Chen, feeling that her efforts were useless.
If I were on my own, I could only go to the scene to find new clues, which might be more practical than wasting time here.
“Senior Sister Lu, after the large convoy left, there were no volunteers to control this road. There are many vehicles. If the time cannot be calculated accurately, the scope of the investigation will probably be expanded. It will be more troublesome to find the driver one by one.”
Gu Chen also gave his own opinion.
Police resources are originally limited. According to the practice of ordinary police, a rough range is determined, and then similar vehicles that may pass by other intersections are investigated one by one.
There may be gains from this, but it is also a “big” gain.
You may find that there are ten, twenty, or more black off-road vehicles.
And tracking these vehicles one by one and collecting evidence takes a huge amount of time.
In the event that the vehicle leaves Jiangnan City, brother cities will have to cooperate in different places, and the resources occupied will be incalculable.
Perhaps in Lu Weiwei’s mind, this is called finding the perpetrator at all costs, but in Gu Chen’s eyes, this is called a waste of resources.
Gu Chen values efficiency very much, which is why Gu Chen always handles cases faster than other teams.
The key is to eliminate junk information, extract accurate and effective information, and then follow up based on clues.
This is also my own secret recipe for handling cases…
“Comrade police, why don’t you ask other people, there will always be someone who knows the exact time.”
Seeing that he had caused trouble to the police, the old man felt a little sorry.
The other three witnesses also lowered their heads in shame.
“Wait a minute.” Gu Chen was already writing quickly on the straw paper and said casually: “Actually, the calculation method is also very simple.”
“Simple?” Everyone looked at each other and looked at Gu Chen in confusion.
Lu Weiwei stood on tiptoe and leaned next to Gu Chen to check Gu Chen’s calculation method.
Gu Chen first used the fastest witnessing time (9:15) and subtracted 10 minutes from the fastest time.
Then take the slowest sighting time (8:40) and add 25 minutes to the slowest time.
Both formulas give the same result.
Lu Weiwei exclaimed: “The time is…9:05?”
“Yes, the time of the incident was 9:05.” Gu Chen was overjoyed and apologized to the four witnesses: “Thank you everyone, the time you mentioned is the same.”
The old man, the old lady and the middle-aged men and women suddenly looked at each other, feeling a little confused.
“Comrade police, we didn’t cause any trouble to you, did we?” the old man said softly.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: “Not only did you not cause any trouble, you also helped me calculate the exact time of the incident.”
“Can we find the driver who caused the accident?” The old lady couldn’t help but ask more.
Gu Chen nodded: “Yes, as long as we calculate this time period and the next monitored intersection time, we will be able to find the vehicle responsible for the accident. Thank you very much for your cooperation.” “
Gu Chen suddenly took a step back and gave a standard salute to the four people.
The other four people were also embarrassed to return the favor. Due to various irregularities in their movements, they ended up standing in a row like a motley crew.
