【Chemical Reaction-10】

It was noon soon.

During lunch time, everyone came to the cafeteria together, sat down with Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen as the center, and observed the workers of the chemical plant while eating.

There were discussions on the dining table not far away—

"Why did Sister Chen suddenly resign?"

"It was said that she was not feeling well, and she had to go back to recuperate for two years. Originally, we wanted to see her off at a dinner party at night, but she refused. She hurriedly packed her luggage and left, as if there was something urgent."

"Speaking of which, they came to the factory in the same group, and they have resigned one by one in the past six months. I always feel that something is not right..."

At this point, two people happened to pass by the table with dinner plates, and the gossip employees immediately stopped talking.

It happened to be Xue Xiaolian who passed by with the plate.

Among the people who came to the factory together, Xue Xiaolian and Lin Yusen are the only ones who have not resigned. Xue Xiaolian's weight was more than 150 jins, with a large black birthmark on her face and slightly thick eyebrows, which made her entire facial features look fierce. She didn't seem to be very popular in the factory. Sitting in the corner to eat, people passing by avoided her.

Yue Xingwen observed her movements from the corner of her eyes. She ate alone with her head down, her expression was calm, and she didn't seem to care about the discussions around her. After a while, a girl with a ponytail sat opposite her with a plate and said, "Sister Xue, thank you last night. I'll return the kettle to you later."

Xue Xiaolian looked up at her and said, "You're welcome, I have a kettle there, you can use it first."

Zhou Qiqi smiled all over: "Thank you, Sister Xue, then I won't buy it for now, I'll talk about it at the weekend."

The two chatted while eating and seemed to have a good relationship.

Yue Xingwen couldn't help but wonder - Zhou Qiqi is one of the murder suspects they are currently targeting. She graduated from the Department of Materials Chemistry and is responsible for the approval of warehouse materials in the factory. It is easy to come into contact with toxic materials. In addition, her surname is Zhou, and she is likely to be related to Ms. Zhou Jianan, who was killed that year.

But if she was the murderer and came to take revenge, why did she have such a good relationship with Xue Xiaolian? Could it be that Xue Xiaolian did not participate in the events of that year?

Seeing Yue Xingwen's doubts, Jiang Pingce whispered, "It's possible that Zhou Jianan's death had nothing to do with Xue Xiaolian, and even the truth of the matter was what Xue Xiaolian told Zhou Qiqi?"

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, then said: "That is to say, among the 7 people who entered the factory in the same year, 5 people participated in the 'that incident', including Peng, Cheng, and Yi who resigned before, and today's resignation Chen Xiumei, and Lin Yusen from the laboratory?"

"Well, Chen Xiumei met Lin Yusen on the rooftop last night, but she didn't communicate with Xue Xiaolian privately. This also shows that Xue Xiaolian probably has nothing to do with 'that matter'."

"So, the killer's next target is likely to be Lin Yusen?"

The two looked at each other and suddenly stopped discussing - because Lin Yusen happened to pass by them with a plate. The laboratory director wearing silver-rimmed glasses had a cold aura of "death to those close to me" all over his body. Moreover, he did not panic about the resignation of his colleagues.

Yue Xingwen typed on the research group channel and asked, "Xin Yan, has the experiment he asked you to do completed?"

Xin Yan said: "It's halfway done, and we will continue in the afternoon. Ke Shaobin has just checked this person's resume in detail and found a very strange thing - Zhou Jianan, who died in a fire 20 years ago, is actually with Lin Yusen. High school alumni."

Yue Xingwen was stunned: "Middle school classmates? Are you in the same class?"

Ke Shaobin came out and said: "Well, I hacked into Lin Yusen's computer, found a high school graduation photo, and found that the two of them used to be in the same frame. It was a graduation photo of Luocheng No. 7 High School Class 7. Lin Yusen University Examination At the School of Chemistry of the University of Science and Technology, Zhou Jianan did not go to university and only read a junior college. After graduation, Zhou Jianan first came to work in the factory, and Lin Yusen entered the chemical factory a year later than her."

Ke Shaobin sent the photo copied by Xiaotu to the WeChat group. Yue Xingwen opened his phone and looked at it, and sure enough he saw the two people Ke Shaobin circled in the photo.

Zhou Jianan stood in the second row, Lin Yusen in the third row. The photos at that time were all black and white, but you can still see that the two people's faces are very outstanding. Lin Yusen wears glasses, is gentle, and looks very temperamental among a group of bumpkins; Zhou Jianan has two braids that were very popular at the time, black pants and a white shirt, handsome and beautiful, with a gentle smile.

Lin Manluo said in the group: "Zhou Jianan is very beautiful, a pure natural beauty."

Lan Yarong said: "Do you think she is very similar to Zhou Qiqi?"

Ke Shaobin looked up at Zhou Qiqi, and quickly typed: "I asked Xiaotu to analyze Zhou Qiqi's facial features and compare it with Zhou Jianan's data. Let's take a look." After he finished speaking, he sent the data analyzed by the computer to in the group.

Sure enough, the two faces were extracted from the photo separately, and after overlapping analysis, the degree of overlap was very high.

Liu Zhaoqing said, "The similarities in the face conform to the laws of genetics, and Zhou Qiqi should be Zhou Jianan's daughter."

This conclusion shocked everyone, and Zhou Qiqi's suspicion instantly rose to the highest level. But at present, there are still many things that are difficult to explain. Yue Xingwen said: "Zhou Qiqi is named after her mother. Where is her father? Can Ke Shao find out?"

"I have searched for decades of information, but I haven't found any information about her father. What's even more strange is that Zhou Jianan's resume has always been filled with 'unmarried'. I suspect that this child is an illegitimate child?" said At this point, Ke Shaobin couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that her biological father is Yu Chenming? The No. 2 workshop director that everyone suspected before. In his resume, the column for relatives is filled with 'widowed', and his The age, profession, and position all correspond to the murderer, and it is also convenient for committing crimes."

"You mean, father and daughter joined forces to avenge the dead?" Yue Xingwen asked.

"Otherwise, Zhou Qiqi, a little girl in her twenties, kills three old fritters in her 50s who have been working in the factory for most of her life. It's a bit difficult, right? How can she control those three grown men?" Ke Shaobin arrive.

"Xiao Ke's brain hole this time, I think it makes sense. Zhou Qiqi is very young and has not been in the factory for a long time. She should not be too familiar with these seniors. How can she ask people out and poison them quietly? Killing three in a row?" Zhuo Feng analyzed carefully, "If there is an accomplice, it will be much better."

"It's all just speculation, without any evidence." Jiang Pingce calmly interrupted everyone's brain hole, "We still have to start with the evidence, first check if the suspect has time to commit the crime, and also, find the location of the body as soon as possible. "

"That's right, I suspect with Pingce that the bodies of these people are probably still in the chemical factory." Yue Xing Wen said.

"What do you mean, the corpse was corroded by chemicals?" Xin Yan frowned and said, "Chemical factories usually have sewage treatment tanks. The waste water and waste generated after the production line need to be treated before they can be discharged. Waste water. The smell of the pond is pungent, and if the body is broken and thrown in, it is indeed not easy to find."

"Can you guys stop discussing corpses while eating!" Ke Shaobin pulled the braised pork on the plate and said with a bitter face, "It affects your appetite too much."

"It's good to get used to it." Liu Zhaoqing smiled, "When we were studying human anatomy in our freshman year, we used to have dinner with the corpse teachers next door at noon."

"..." Ke Shaobin resisted the urge to vomit and turned off the phone interface.

After the meal, Xu Yishen and Zhang Xiaonian also came back, and the line of the warehouse they investigated also gained something.

Xu Yishen sent two photos in the group: "The warehouse managers of the factory are all elderly people over 60 years old. One is Li Daqiang, the cousin of the owner of the chemical factory. When guarding the warehouse, he likes to fight landlords. Because of his relationship with the boss, no one dares to speak of him. Another surnamed Zhou is a retired employee. Li Daqiang worked night shifts on July 19, August 2, and August 16, that is, before the three resigned. One night, he was on the night shift."

Zhang Xiaonian added: "We have also checked the doorman. The chemical factory's doorman is rotated by three people. During the three days of July 19, August 2, and August 16, the people on duty are different. Xu Senior brother asked them about it, and they all said that they haven't heard any unusual noises in recent months, and no one has gone out at night."

Yue Xingwen flipped through the chat records in the group and carefully sorted out his thoughts.

Li Daqiang, the warehouse manager, relying on his relationship with the boss, was not serious when he was on duty, either fighting the landlord or sleeping. It is very likely that the warehouse key on his body was stolen by the murderer, and he was equipped with a spare. Then, the murderer can sneak into the warehouse when he is not paying attention and get the poisonous potion he needs.

It is very likely that Zhou Qiqi is Zhou Jianan's daughter, but it is very unlikely that she will commit the crime alone. Therefore, either she has an accomplice, or she is not the real murderer, the murderer is someone else.

At present, the biggest suspects are still Yu Chenming, the director of workshop No. 2, who was registered as "widowed"; and Lin Yusen, who appeared in the high school graduation photo, was in the same class as the deceased, and is now the director of the laboratory.

The next priority is to find the dead body.

In the afternoon, everyone worked in their respective positions, and at the same time sorted out and analyzed all the information they had obtained. The four girls went through the information of the factory owner from scratch to confirm that nothing was missed.

It wasn't until after dark that Yue Xingwen said on the research group channel: "Looking for the corpse team, willing to sign up!"

Jiang Pingce said: "You don't need to take all actions, half of it is enough. The rest is in the dormitory and staring at the suspect."

Liu Zhaoqing raised his hand: "I signed up, I am not afraid of corpses."

Xin Yan: "I'll go too, lest everyone accidentally come into contact with dangerous chemicals."

Qin Lu asked, "Do you need my displacement skills?"

Yue Xingwen said: "Yes. In addition, Sister Manluo should go too, your vines may also be used."

Jiang Pingce quickly stretched out his right hand: "Brother Liu and Xin Yan came to my dormitory with Xingwen, Sister Manluo and Qin Lu went downstairs and tried to find dark clothes to wear. Three minutes later, on the right side of the dormitory building, the Gather in the shadows."
