Chapter 198: Sudden Death
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chief Feng did not speak for a long time. He just silently watched Wu Tao break down and cry.
When he estimated that Wu Tao’s emotions should have been almost vented, Chief Feng spoke slowly.
“If someone is threatening you, you can say it. I promise you in the name of the chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the police will do their best to help you. Your wife and daughter will not be in danger. The police will protect them.”
Wu Tao shook his head in despair.
“You? No, you can’t protect them. No one can protect them.”
Wu Tao’s words were filled with deep sorrow and despair.
With such strong emotions, even the experienced Chief Feng could not help but feel sympathetic.
“You haven’t even tried. How do you know that we can’t protect you?”
“Dr. Wu, you should have more confidence in the police.”
Chief Feng tried his best to calm Wu Tao’s emotions with a gentle tone.
But Wu Tao roared with tears in his eyes:
“You have no idea what I’m facing!!”
Chief Feng nodded calmly.
“Yes, we don’t know. That’s why you need to tell us. Only if you say it, will the police know how to help you.”
Wu Tao said stubbornly, “You can’t help me.”
The other party seemed to have fallen into an endless loop.
Chief Feng spent a very long time and almost used up all his life’s experience to finally make Wu Tao’s thick heart waver a little.
“Will you really believe me if I say it?”
Wu Tao asked tentatively.
When he heard his question, Chief Feng was instantly delighted.
He knew that his several hours of hard work had finally paid off.
Since Wu Tao asked this, it meant that he had already wanted to say it.
Therefore, Chief Feng nodded without hesitation and answered sincerely and solemnly, “Of course, as long as you say it, we will definitely believe you.”
“Perhaps some things may seem strange to you, but in fact, they are not that strange to the police. Among the cases we have handled, there are countless things that are unimaginable.”
“Therefore, please believe in the police’s experience, knowledge, and ability to accept it. Don’t have any misgivings and speak boldly.”
These words clearly made Wu Tao’s mood relax quite a bit.
He slowly took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
“If I said that someone threatened me in my dream, would you believe it?”
Chief Feng tried his best to maintain a calm and gentle expression and nodded slightly.
“I believe it. Continue speaking.”
No matter how ridiculous the statement was, it was better than being silent because as long as one was willing to tell, even if it was a lie, it could reveal a lot of information.
Chief Feng’s affirmation obviously gave Wu Tao great psychological comfort.
He continued, “About two months ago, a rag doll suddenly appeared out of nowhere beside me. I couldn’t even throw it away.”
“Then I began to have strange dreams. I dreamed that…”
At this point, Wu Tao’s expression suddenly became distorted, full of fear and pain.
He kept struggling and opened his mouth, wanting to scream but he couldn’t make any sound.
Chief Feng was shocked by his appearance and quickly went forward to see what was wrong with him.
However, just as he was about to touch Wu Tao, Wu Tao’s body suddenly became like a deflated doll. It brushed against Chief Feng’s fingertip and collapsed weakly.
At that moment of contact, there was a bone-piercing chill.
Chief Feng could not help but shiver. He tried his best to maintain his composure and reached out to check Wu Tao’s breath.
There was no breath.
He checked his pulse again.
There was no breath either.
“Quick! Call an ambulance!”
Chief Feng roared his orders and knelt on the ground without caring about his image. He personally performed CPR on Wu Tao.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes..
Time passed bit by bit. No matter how hard Chief Feng tried, Wu Tao did not react at all.
The expression of fear and distortion froze on his face.
At the same time, it was deeply imprinted in Chief Feng’s mind. It became a nightmare that would not go away for a long time.
The ambulance finally arrived.
The medical staff of the emergency center entered the interrogation room and found that the patient was actually Wu Tao. They were all very surprised.
They tried their best to save him, but in the end, they were unable to save him.
“Sorry, we really tried our best…”
All the medical staff were very sad.
Their former colleague had fallen in front of them, but they were unable to save his life.
This feeling was truly unbearable.
Chief Feng also felt that his heart was filled with anxiety.
He had spent so much effort and finally managed to pry open Wu Tao’s mouth. In the end, he had only just begun, and Wu Tao had actually died? !
He had just died in front of him. He could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
Chief Feng was so stifled that he almost wanted to curse.
However, he still used his reason to restrain himself. He calmly said to the medical staff, “You guys have worked hard.”
“Can you determine what caused Dr. Wu’s sudden death?”
“Or did he have any previous illness?”
The medical staff shook their heads in unison.
“There are many possible causes of sudden death, and we can’t directly determine it.”
“As for illness, we’ve never heard of it anyway.”
“Director Wu’s physical fitness must be good. The hospital has a physical examination every year, and it doesn’t seem to have found any problems.”
Chief Feng nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
“Contact the forensic doctor, inform the family, and prepare for the autopsy.”
Actually, when Wu Tao first said that he was threatened in his dream, Chief Feng had thought that after he had finished talking, he would have to arrange for someone to give him a drug test.
He suspected that Wu Tao had taken a drug or something like that, and that he was delirious and spouting nonsense.
However, before he could do a drug test, he was about to do an autopsy.
What the f*ck.
Chief Feng controlled himself and arranged everything before he went outside to smoke.
After half a pack of cigarettes, his depressed mood was finally relieved.
He was about to go back and ask if Wu Tao’s family had come.
If he wanted to do an autopsy, he had to get his family’s signature.
At this moment, a young policeman trotted over and said to him, “Chief Feng, Wu Tao’s wife, Yin Qiu, was in a car accident on the way here. Their daughter, Wu Xinxin, was also in the car.”
“Both mother and daughter are seriously injured and are being sent to the emergency room for treatment.”
Chief Feng’s heart sank.
“What a coincidence!”
“Then it looks like we can only contact Wu Tao’s parents.”
“Wu Tao’s death was too strange. We have to conduct an autopsy no matter what. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and contact them!”
The young policeman shivered from being yelled at and quickly made a call.
Not long after, the young policeman came over again.
Chief Feng did not wait for him to speak and asked impatiently, “Have you contacted them? Have they agreed to an autopsy?”
