I am a super cop

Chapter 270 The Lost Key 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

"Speak three languages?" Listening to Dean Zou's introduction, Gu Chen fell into deep thought: "Speaking three languages ​​is not something that ordinary people can do. Does this person have any ulterior secrets?"

Although Gu Chen has no experience in dealing with mentally ill patients, he can feel that all patients who enter the mental hospital for treatment must have been strongly stimulated before.

Thinking of those TV reports, often after wounding someone, the family members will issue a mental patient certificate from the hospital to avoid severe punishment, Gu Chen still knows about it.

"Regardless of whether these people have encountered something that cannot be solved, escaping from the mental hospital is also a serious threat to the outside world, because these people are not eligible to be discharged from the hospital. If they are not found as soon as possible, it may cause harm to others. harm."

The middle-aged woman in a white coat beside her has considerable experience in dealing with mental patients, so she also gave pertinent advice.

"Comrade police, this can be said to be the management negligence of our mental health center, but if the patient really wants to do bad things outside, it will be troublesome."

Dean Zou is also very anxious at the moment...

From the way he asked the security guards to bring the police to the office as soon as possible, it can be seen that Dean Zou is really in a hurry.

"Don't worry, take us to the monitoring room first." Officer Wang said.

"Okay, you guys come with me." Dean Zou didn't dare to neglect, and personally led everyone to the monitoring room.

In the monitoring screen, the cooperation of the four men is indeed in place.

If you didn't identify them carefully, or knew in advance that these four people were mentally ill, you wouldn't be able to see any difference at all.

"This is too smart, so you are energetic?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sighed when she saw the scene of the four of them running wildly after they left.

"This state is smarter than normal people." Police officer Wang couldn't help but clicked twice, and complained: "This mental patient can speak three languages, so what are we?"

"I guess it's too much to suffer in there?" Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and said, "It's just that the worldview is different, and geniuses and lunatics are on the line."

"I feel that if I don't work hard, I may be worse than a mental patient." Lu Weiwei suddenly felt a serious sense of frustration.

Gu Chen said to the staff: "Is there any surveillance footage of these people a few days ago?"

"Yes... Yes." The staff member nodded and said, "The surveillance images on our side used to be kept for half a month, but now they are kept for a week."

"Call it out." Gu Chen said.

The staff looked at Dean Zou who was beside him.

"Listen to the police comrades." Dean Zou also said.

"That's fine, but the workload is a bit heavy, why don't you just sit and wait." After a brief explanation, the staff quickly operated the mouse and keyboard, and began to inquire about the surveillance images of these four people in recent days.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, and Dean Zou stood aside and waited patiently.

"Senior Brother Wang, can the control room cooperate with the monitoring of these people outside?" Gu Chen asked.

Officer Wang nodded: "That's no problem. I'll make a phone call and pass on the information of these people so that they can check it out."

After speaking, Officer Wang took photos and files of the four people with his mobile phone and sent them to the old comrades in the dispatch room, asking them to cooperate in searching for the whereabouts of the four people.

"Principal Zou." Seeing that the surveillance and pursuit outside had been settled, Gu Chen turned around and asked Dean Zou next to him: "Can you call the security guard who neglected his duty today? I want to ask about the situation."

"This... this is fine, you wait." Dean Zou also took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, quickly explained a few words on the phone, and then hung up.

Not long after, a tall and thin man about 50 years old came to the monitoring room quickly.

The moment he stepped into the gate, the man suddenly slowed down and looked inside a few times with his head.

Seeing that the police were all there, he walked into the room with small steps.

"Dean Zou, are you looking for me?" the man said.

"It's not me looking for you, it's the police looking for you." Dean Zou said grumpily now.

The man's mistake caused the mental patients to flee in groups, which in itself is a terrible thing.

"Don't be nervous, come in and sit." Gu Chen pulled out a stool and placed it next to the security guard.

After the security guard sat down, he clasped his hands tightly together, not daring to look directly at the policeman.

"What's your name, report your ID number." Gu Chen picked up the notebook and started recording according to the procedure.

"My...my name is Zhang Gencai, and my ID number is..."

The security guard named Zhang Gencai was obviously a little nervous, and he hesitated when speaking.

"When the four of them left, were you on duty?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, it is."

"What were you doing?"

"At that time? I was eating at that time. I just ordered the meal from the cafeteria."

"Then why did you let them go? Don't you know...you need a note signed by Dean Zou before you can leave?"

Gu Chen put down his pen and looked up at Zhang Gencai.

"I..." The man hesitated to speak, and looked at Dean Zou innocently, and said, "I didn't think much about it at the time, it looked like these four people were family members who came to pick up patients and leave the hospital."

"So you didn't ask for approval slips and just let them go?" Gu Chen asked.

"Nor...not." Zhang Gencai lowered his head silently, and said helplessly: "I was eating and was about to ask them for approval, but at this time the phone in the security room rang, and I went to answer it first."

"You should check the approval slip first, and then answer the phone." Lu Weiwei corrected Zhang Gencai's wrong approach.

"You are right to criticize." Zhang Gencai did not deny it, nodded, but said: "But to get out of that iron gate, you need to get the key from me. I didn't pay attention at the time, but after answering the phone , but found that several people suddenly disappeared.”

Gu Chen suddenly looked back at Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and they all felt that something was wrong.

"That is to say, to leave the small door of the hospital building, I need to get the key from you?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yeah, that's right. I was eating at the time, and then I answered a phone call. At that time, I didn't pay attention to these four people at all."

"But when I put down the phone and went to see those four people, I found that these people had disappeared. I thought that these people must have forgotten to get the approval slip, and then went back to look for the approval slip."

"Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for my colleagues in the hospital to say that four mental patients had escaped from the health center. I panicked at that time because they said they escaped from me."

After listening to Zhang Gencai's narration, Gu Chen couldn't help asking: "Could it be that these mental patients took the keys from your security room?"

"It's not." Zhang Gen shook his head and said, "My key is always there."

"That is to say, they used another key to open the small door of the inpatient department, and then escaped together?" Lu Weiwei was also quite shocked.

I feel that these guys are either lunatics or geniuses. No wonder they say that lunatics and geniuses are both in one thought.

Maybe they closed the wrong place, or went out to mischief for a while?
The saying that talent is in a mental hospital is indeed true.

"Yes, female police officer, they did not use my key to open the door. If I hadn't received a call at that time, they might not have been able to leave."

Zhang Gencai clarified very positively.

At first, Gu Chen and most of the people thought that it was the negligence of the security guards that led to the escape of patients in the mental hospital.

But now the information obtained from Zhang Gencai's mouth can fully prove it.

These mental patients obviously obtained the key to the small door of the inpatient building first, and then carried out the escape plan.

All steps are smooth and smooth, seemingly very smooth.

If noon is the best way to escape from the mental hospital, then did these people steal this key by themselves?Or did someone give it to them on purpose?
If this is not a big deal, then the phone that rang at this time was a divine assist.

"By the way, who made that phone call?" Gu Chen put aside his temporary thoughts and raised his head to ask Zhang Gencai.

"I do not know either."

"You...you don't know?" Gu Chen was surprised.

"Yes, I don't know either, because no one spoke on the call. There may be some problems with the phone. I checked the caller ID and it was an unfamiliar number."

The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence again. Gu Chen did not ask questions immediately, but sorted out his previous thoughts.

"That is to say, these four mental patients are disguised as discharged patients and their family members, and they also have the key to the small door of the inpatient building, and just when they come to you, a phone call distracts you Is it true that these four mental patients escaped successfully because of their death?"

Gu Chen quickly finished writing the information he had compiled, and looked up at Zhang Gencai.

"That's it." Zhang Gencai nodded without denying it.

As soon as Gu Chen dropped the pen, Lu Weiwei beside him said directly: "There must be a problem, all the escape steps seem to have been coordinated."

"I think so too." Officer Wang, who was listening attentively, also said, "On the surface, this seems to be an escape of a mental patient caused by the negligence of security guards."

"But after careful analysis, it is not difficult to see that there seems to be an expert coordinating behind the scenes, including the disguise of the four of them, the accurate timing of arriving at the door, and the mysterious phone call?"

"Hehe." Dean Zou couldn't help laughing twice, and said, "I said, comrade policemen, don't you usually handle too many cases, and you want to premeditate everything?"

Gu Chen stared at him and said, "Isn't it?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary case? Four mental patients escaped from the mental hospital, but the key may have been stolen by these four mental patients, and the phone call just happened to be an advertisement."

"Wait." Gu Chen didn't let Dean Zou finish speaking, and interrupted directly: "How many keys are there for the small door of the inpatient building? Who has them all?"

"This..." Dean Zou suddenly froze.

"Tell me." Gu Chen looked at Zhang Gencai and said, "Who else is there besides you?"

"In addition to one in the duty room, there are two in the hands of the hospital leader, one in the hands of Director Liu, and one..."

Zhang Gencai hesitated to speak, and silently glanced at Dean Zou.

"Who has the other hand?" Lu Weiwei also asked quickly.

"There's still one more, in the hands of Dean Zou."

Zhang Gencai spoke in a low voice, but Dean Zou panicked and said directly: "Comrade policeman, the keys stolen by these four mental patients must not be mine."

"Since it's not the key to the security room, it's either Director Liu's or your Dean Zou's." Police Officer Wang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "President Zou, please go to Director Liu and ask him to open the hospital building. Bring the key to the little door."

"Alas!" Dean Zou responded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Director Liu's number.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a fat body put on his glasses and walked into the monitoring room.

"You are Director Liu?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." The overweight man nodded.

"Did you bring the key to the small building of the inpatient department?" Gu Chen asked again.

Director Liu took out a bunch of keys from his belt buckle, picked out one of them, and handed it to Gu Chen: "This is the key to the small door of the hospital building, what's wrong?"

The atmosphere at the scene became tense again.

Gu Chen didn't answer right away, but glanced at Dean Zou beside him.

At this moment, not only Gu Chen, but almost everyone's eyes were on Dean Zou.

The security guard Zhang Gencai said in a daze: "Zou...Dean Zou, Director Liu and I haven't lost this key. The key that shouldn't be lost... belongs to you, right?"

Dean Zou was quite embarrassed at the moment, his face became stiff for a long time before he said: "Well, I admit that the lost key is indeed this one on my body."

"Oh my God." Lu Weiwei exclaimed in shock: "It turns out that the key used by these four mental patients to escape is actually your Dean Zou's."

"Don't... don't misunderstand." When Dean Zou saw the three policemen and colleagues present looking at him questioningly, he couldn't help but panic and said, "I'll tell the truth, I bought this key three days ago. Just lost it."

"At that time, I thought I had forgotten where it was, so I searched for it for a long time, but I couldn't find it anyway, so I panicked at that time."

"After all, this is the key that manages the small door of the inpatient building. If it is lost, it will be troublesome."

"Then why didn't you tell us about this situation earlier?" Gu Chen asked.

"I... I'm not afraid of taking responsibility." Dean Zou also said with a look of frustration: "I've only been the dean for a few days, so let other people know that I lost such an important key , Then these other people who have been staring at the dean's position, haven't reported me?"

"But since this problem has already happened, you should make up for it in time, but you haven't made any statement in the past three days, so you just pass by. To be honest, Dean Zou, your style is not very good."

Hearing Police Officer Wang's criticism, Dean Zou quickly lowered his head and said, "That's right, what the police comrades educated is that it was my negligence in work and my lack of vigilance. After this time, I will definitely conduct self-criticism."

Hearing this, Zhang Gen, who was on the side, patted his chest in relief, and said to himself that I was scared to death just now, and after working together for a long time, it turned out that you, Dean Zou, lost the key, and almost made you a blame man.

After getting rid of these burdens, the tone of the security guard Zhang Gencai's speech is obviously very different from before.

No longer whispering...

"Dean Zou, we found the surveillance footage."

At this time, the staff in the monitoring room also received good news.

Dean Zou and everyone hurried forward to check the relevant monitoring of the four mental patients in the past few days.

The first video played by the staff is the picture of getting up this morning.

Gu Chen quickly discovered the No.1 mental patient based on the information files provided by Dean Zou just now.

"Huh? Why are they alone?" Gu Chen asked curiously, "Don't they usually live in different rooms?"

"Yes." Director Liu replied: "These people live in different wards, and they only get together when they have meals and activities."

Gu Chen didn't worry too much, and directly ordered the staff: "Play the second part too."

The second video shows these mental patients, after waking up, walking into the hospital cafeteria one after another.

It can be seen from the screen that after the four arrived at the cafeteria one after another, they were not in the same location.

But after the last patient arrived, the other three patients who arrived first took the initiative to take the breakfast and walked to the patient.

The four formed a small group, bowing their heads and talking softly from time to time, feeling as if they were plotting something important.

"Stop!" Gu Chen suddenly shouted to stop.

The staff quickly pressed a pause button.

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly blinked twice quickly.

With the sound of "cracking" coming from the camera in his mind, Gu Chen used the primary visual cutting function to quickly freeze and analyze the picture.

Soon, two options of storage and analysis appeared in the visual interface.

Gu Chen chose to analyze without hesitation...

Soon he found that in the monitoring screen, one of the patients took out something, and the analysis result was: 70.00% were keys, 20.00% were tableware, 5.00% were accessories, and 5.00% were other items.

"What's the matter, Gu Chen?" Seeing that Gu Chen had been staring at the surveillance screen for a long time, but there was no movement, Lu Weiwei couldn't help asking him.

"What these people are holding in their hands should be the key to the small door of the hospital building." Gu Chen said.

"You can see this clearly?" Officer Wang couldn't believe it.

He hurried up, looked left, right, up and down at the surveillance screen, but in the end he still got nothing.

"Gu Chen, is your eyesight so good? The picture is not very clear." Officer Wang said in shock, "How can you see something as small as a key with the naked eye?"

Of course, Gu Chen would not tell Police Officer Wang that his eyes have the function of visual cropping, and he can automatically analyze the function of screenshots to judge the type of items from the perspective of probability.

This thing is difficult to explain. Gu Chen did not answer Police Officer Wang's question, but directly changed the subject: "If the key is already in the hands of these four mentally ill patients at this time, then the time to lose the key must not be today."

Looking at the staff, Gu Chen said again: "Come on, this little brother...retrieve yesterday's video."
