Chapter 345 Coincidence? Or Deliberate Arrangement?The policewoman thought for a moment, then remained silent.There are three security teams in Zone E. Chu Xuange led the two officers to one of the teams that was on duty.While the two police officers were questioning him, Chu Xuange wandered around the vicinity aimlessly.Suddenly, his gaze fell on a small section of wall behind the air conditioner unit. The charred wall looked as if it had been licked by fire.Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he approached the air conditioner unit and confirmed that the place had indeed been burned. His doubts grew stronger. E District had only been in use for two short years, and in Olivia's memory, there had never been a fire in E District.What's going on with this wall?——After receiving the call, Catherine left work early. The two remaining colleagues in the office, Willie and Jose, were also called over by their mentor, leaving Pei Hening alone in the office.She used this time to search the office.She found a half-filled appointment form for an anti-aging treatment in a file folder on Catherine's office desk. It was unsigned, so she didn't know whose appointment it was.Pei Hening frowned, took out her phone and took a picture. After comparing the handwriting, she confirmed that the appointment form was indeed Catherine's handwriting.She also found a luxury brand bag worth 500,000 yuan in Catherine's closet and took photos of it.The salary at the San Raphael Clinic wasn't low, but it wasn't enough to support Catherine buying a luxury handbag worth half a million.A house, car, bag, and watch worth 500,000 are all priced the same.However, the wealth level and cash flow consumption of those who own them are vastly different.A house worth 500,000 is a means of survival; a car worth 500,000 is a debt-driven consumable that requires a stable cash flow; and a bag worth 500,000 (excluding rare leathers) is a commodity that depreciates as soon as it is consumed and does not generate income.A watch worth 500,000 is a bit special. It's not purely for consumption. It can retain its value or even fetch a premium in the secondary market, but it's very much about aesthetics.Catherine is not a high-net-worth individual, so the existence of this bag is highly suspicious.Pei Hening restored Catherine's desk to its original state and then searched Willie and Jose's desks, but found nothing suspicious.Pei Hening returned to her desk, opened the drawer and put in the organized hospital records, but found she couldn't push the drawer shut when she tried to close it.She thought the drawer slides were faulty, so she shook the drawer and tried to push it in, but it still wouldn't go in. So she pulled the drawer out again.Clang—Pei Hening realized that something had fallen under the table.She took the drawer out, turned on her phone's flashlight, and pulled out a brand new key from under the table."Nicole? What are you doing?"Willie pushed open the office door and walked in, finding it very strange to see her crouching under the desk.Pei Hening used her phone to block the key, recalling Nicole's behavior in her memory, and said helplessly, "The drawer is stuck, let me see what's going on."Willie took a calcium tablet and asked, "Need any help?""No need, no need, it'll be done in a minute."Pei Hening stood up, naturally stuffed the keys and phone into his pants pocket, and quickly fixed the drawer.Willie drank a glass of water, his face serious: "Nicole, don't go to Area E these next few days unless you have to. A patient died there. It was a murder, and the killer hasn't been found yet."Pei Hening's eyes widened, and she nodded repeatedly: "Murder? In the hospital?"Willie recalled his mentor's description of the murder scene and shuddered involuntarily: "Yes, the body has been sent for autopsy, and we don't know when the results will be available."Pei Hening swallowed hard: "Aren't there any security cameras?""No, the murder happened to occur during the circuit repairs in Zone E, and the surveillance cameras in Zone E were turned off at that time."Coincidence? Or deliberate arrangement?If it was premeditated, what role did the murderer play? Did they know about the circuit repair? Or did they orchestrate the circuit repair?"That's scary."Seeing that she was scared, Willie changed the subject: "A lot happened today. In Ward C, an intern nurse sneaked into the head nurse's office to steal something. She was caught red-handed. Speaking of which, we know this intern nurse."
