The Beijing Public Security Bureau, with its solemn police badge and solemn office building, is awe inspiring.
In the office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, the captain Zhou Yifeng and the criminal policemen Su Xiaohan, Li Zhisong, Ma Nan and Zhu Xiaofeng were sitting around the conference table, and they were having a heated discussion.
"Boss, you said that Guo Zhigang was a director of cardiac surgery in the hall and had a great future. Why did he commit suicide?"
"Yes, I think so too. He has no reason to commit suicide!"
"He has no reason to commit suicide, but according to the situation on the spot, he committed suicide!"
The night before last, Song Lin, the wife of Guo Zhigang, director of cardiac surgery at Beijing Central Hospital, asked the police for help, saying that her husband had lost contact for a day, and her mobile phone was off. Her colleagues at the hospital had not seen him that day. Guo Zhigang is in poor health. Song Lin is worried about his accident.
Early in the morning, Mr. Liu from the crowd reported that he found a man's body at the foot of the mountain while walking in the forest park. When they arrived at the scene, they determined that the deceased was Guo Zhigang, who had lost contact. According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic medicine, Guo Zhigang died from taking an excessive amount of valium drugs. However, it depends on the following autopsy results.
Su Xiaohan has just started work, and this is her first time out of the scene. Fortunately, the deceased Guo Zhigang's face was peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep, which did not cause her discomfort. Although from the scene, Guo Zhigang committed suicide, they all suspected that there was a secret, but there is no evidence yet.
"Boss, the result has come out. Doctor Sun said that Guo Zhigang died from taking too much valium, and there were no other fatal injuries on his body. It can be basically determined that he committed suicide." During the discussion, Xu Jungang returned from the office of Doctor Sun and reported the autopsy results to Zhou Yifeng.
"Could someone settle down in his drink?" Ma Nan looked at everyone.
"From the scene, the forest park is the first scene. Who will give him medicine there?" Li Zhisong said firmly.
Ma Nan nodded and agreed with his analysis.
"He is so young that he became the director of the department of cardiosurgery. He still has a bright future. Why would he commit suicide? Does he have depression?" Thinking of the cases of depression suicide that he has been exposed to before, Su Xiaohan doubts.
"According to his wife Song Lin, he is mentally normal," Zhou Yifeng replied.
With the autopsy results of Doctor Sun, Zhou Yifeng began to assign tasks. They were divided into two groups. He went to the hospital with Su Xiaohan and Zhu Xiaofeng and talked with Guo Zhigang's colleagues; Li Zhisong, Ma Nan and Xu Jungang go to Song Lin to find out the details of Guo Zhigang.
Out of the office building, they acted separately. Zhou Yifeng and Zhu Xiaofeng drove, Zhou Yifeng sat in the co pilot, and Su Xiaohan consciously sat in the back row.
An hour later, the bus stopped in front of the central hospital in Beijing.
The cardiac surgery department where Guo Zhigang lived was on the fifth floor. When they arrived at the office, only a young female doctor was there.
When they heard the news of Guo Zhigang's suicide, the female doctor was surprised and then began to cry.
"Police comrade, Mr. Guo is very optimistic on weekdays and doesn't seem to commit suicide." The female doctor pulled out a paper towel and said as she wiped her tears.
"Has Dr. Guo ever had any disagreement or conflict with anyone?" Zhu Xiaofeng asked.
The female doctor thought for a moment and said without hesitation, "As far as I know, Mr. Guo is an expert in cardiac surgery. He is good to our interns, other doctors and patients. You see, the wall is full of flags sent by patients to Mr. Guo."
Following the direction she pointed out, Zhou Yifeng walked over. On one side of the banner, the words "superb medical skills and noble medical ethics" were written, which demonstrated Guo Zhigang's success as a doctor.
Su Xiaohan followed Zhou Yifeng and went to see the banner. She was thinking, as far as the current situation is concerned, a doctor who is optimistic, friendly and successful has no reason to commit suicide. What is the truth behind this?
Su Xiaohan went to the female doctor and sat down. He said softly, "Doctor, think again. Is there anything abnormal with Dr. Guo recently? For example, his mood and body."
"Abnormal?" The female doctor thought while fiddling with the pen in her hand. After a while, she slowly raised her head and said uncertain: "If you have to say abnormal, Miss Guo seems to be not as healthy as before. I just came to cardiac surgery for a few months, and heard from my colleagues that Miss Guo was very healthy before."
"As far as you know, did Guo Zhigang take any medicine?" Su Xiaohan then asked.
The female doctor shook her head, "Well, I really didn't notice. By the way, police comrades, you can ask our director Xu, who may know. He has an operation in the morning, and he can come back after the operation."
"OK, thank you, we'll wait a moment." Su Xiaohan smiled and thanked.
"Doctor, if you have something to do, please do it first! If you think of something, you can tell us at any time." Zhou Yifeng smiled at the female doctor.
Su Xiaohan saw him smile for the first time. Although the smile was light, it was very warm.
When three people were waiting, Zhou Yifeng's mobile phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Ma Nan.
At the end of the phone, Ma Nan's voice was somewhat excited: "Boss, we got something! Guo Zhigang's wife showed us his latest physical examination report. According to her, Guo Zhigang was diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome a year ago. The latest examination showed that besides Cushing's syndrome, he also had avascular necrosis of the femoral head and cataract in his left eye. In the last year, he hardly operated on patients. "
Before Ma Nan finished speaking, Zhou Yifeng had an idea. The investigation of Guo Zhigang's suicide could start with his illness.
"Xiao Han, go and check. What is Cushing's syndrome?" Zhou Yifeng asked Su Xiaohan when he hung up the phone.
"Police comrade, I know, I can answer this!" The woman doctor not far away stood up and said.
Zhou Yifeng smiled again and motioned for her to continue.
The female doctor quickly responded: "Cushing's syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by the long-term overproduction of glucocorticoids by the adrenal cortex due to various reasons, also known as endogenous Cushing's syndrome. It is mainly manifested as a full moon face, a sanguine appearance, centripetal obesity, acne, purple lines, hypertension, secondary diabetes and osteoporosis..."
"What caused this disease?" Zhou Yifeng interrupted her and asked.
"Long term use of high-dose glucocorticoids or long-term alcoholism can cause clinical manifestations similar to Cushing's syndrome," the female doctor replied.
"Will the patient suffer from this disease? Or what symptoms will the patient have?" Zhou Yifeng continued to ask.
"Patients with de Cushing's syndrome may have mental disorders. For example, they may be irritable, restless, or even depressed. Some patients may also have sleep disorders. Once patients have depression, they will also have thinking disorders based on depression. For example, some patients will have delusions or hypochondriasis." The female doctor said in detail.
After listening to her talk about "depression", Su Xiaohan thought of the suicide cases of depressed patients. If Guo Zhigang has Cushing's syndrome, he is likely to be depressed, then it is not ruled out that his suicide is caused by depression.
While several people were talking, footsteps came from the door, which sounded like several people coming together.
