Be in low spirits

"Datura is a poison. It is usually found in Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. It looks like a radish and is easy to be eaten by mistake." Li Li thought she didn't understand, so he gave her some basic knowledge.

"I mean, could this be some kind of mark left by the murderer?"

"It's hard to draw a conclusion now. Let's wait for Old Sui's autopsy results and Xiao Zhao's information."

Kong Zhixi nodded. She had been running all day and was exhausted, so she went to bed.

When she woke up, she was lying on the sofa at home, covered with her quilt, and Li Li was cooking. She seemed to have seen this scene before, but she couldn't remember where. Her head began to hurt, and she thought it was caused by not getting enough sleep, so she ignored it and got up to wash her face.

Li Li asked her to have dinner. At the dinner table, Li Li said, "You need to exercise your physical strength." Kong Zhixi retorted, "Wouldn't it be better if you used your brain more to solve the case instead of doing so much meaningless physical work?"

"What if you encounter any danger in the future and I'm not around?" Li Li hypothesized.

"...Your assumptions are meaningless." Kong Zhixi suddenly remembered that Fu Yan said that Xiao Zhao must not be aware of her existence, so she didn't say what she wanted to say. The two of them had a tacit understanding in hiding the mission.

"Both missions are completed. Have you thought about buying something?"

"Well...actually, I think it's not good for a single man and a single woman to always live together." Kong Zhixi also expressed her own idea.

"What???" The vegetables that Li Li was holding also stopped in mid-air.

"Don't you think it's a little inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone together?" Kong Zhixi knew he would be shocked, but she didn't expect him to be so shocked. She thought that with his temper he would be a little surprised.

"Forget it. I'll have to pick you up every day. You should just stay here. It doesn't cost you any money." Li Lixiang quickly dissuaded her from this idea.

"Well, let's solve this case first." Kong Zhixi felt that it would be better to focus on the case.

"You... I haven't eaten the soufflé you made for a long time, and I just wanted to..." Li Li felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll get up and do it tomorrow morning." Kong Zhixi responded readily.

Every time Li Li saw her eating, she would usually gobble up everything in her mouth, and he would eat happily too.

When the two returned to the bureau in the morning, Lao Sui had already obtained the preliminary autopsy results. The cause of death was datura poisoning. There were a lot of datura alkaloids in the body. The time of death should have been two days ago. The wound on the wrist was caused after death. According to the shape of the wound, he should have been hung in the mall for an hour or more.

Xiao Zhao also got specific information about the deceased's identity: Name: Shu Botian, Age: 27. Unemployed, but according to his bank information, he had always had money coming in, and these money came from different women, the second son of Shu Jiacun, chairman of Cheung Kong Group.

"Giocoholic does make sense." Kong Zhixi thought of the face and figure of the deceased and felt that this profession seemed to be explainable.

"The cause of death corresponds to his tattoo. Do you have any thoughts on this?" Li Li asked.

"Is this what the murderer wants to tell us? If so, he should want to tell us more than just this. There should be more clues." Kong Zhixi expressed her thoughts.

"Is it possible that this is just a provocation on his part to the police?" Li Li felt that there should be no murderer who would take the initiative to stand on the side of the police.

"It's hard to say. Looking at his call records, these people are either rich or noble. It might be difficult to investigate." Kong Zhixi looked at the call records in her hand, thinking that the rich woman might not be so easy to communicate with.

"Then you check his call records, and I will check his relatives and friends. We will meet at the bureau in the evening." Li Li stated the next work plan.

Kong Zhixi nodded, and the two of them went their separate ways. As she expected, none of the wealthy women she talked to were willing to admit that they knew Shu Botian. The only person Kong Zhixi contacted who was willing to meet was a corporate executive who agreed to meet her in a high-end residential area after work in the evening.

Kong Zhixi prepared herself mentally before going there, thinking that she must not let people think that she was a poor person who had never seen the world, but she was still shocked after entering the rich woman's house. The large flat of more than 300 square meters, the grand piano with a very luxurious texture, the big river outside the French window, and even many utensils in the kitchen were all things she had never seen before. The nanny took her shoes to change and asked her to sit on the sofa first, saying that the young lady had not returned yet and that the dishes could only be served after the young lady returned. She had never thought of eating here again, and told the nanny that she would leave after asking questions. The nanny replied that the young lady had to eat hot dishes after work, so they were not prepared for her. This made her a little embarrassed.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when the rich woman returned home. Kong Zhixi had waited for nearly two hours. She was a little angry at first, but when she saw the rich woman's face, her anger disappeared by a large margin. She finally understood what it meant that even a hero could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

In this world, there are really people who are both good-looking and rich.

"Officer Kong, I'm so sorry. I was delayed by something at the company and kept you waiting for so long." Her voice was soft and boneless, and seemed to have some kind of magic that immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Her facial features are very three-dimensional, her skin is very white, and her hair is very black. You can tell at a glance that she has spent a lot of time and money to maintain her looks. The white suit vest and knee-length skirt cannot hide her graceful figure.

"Hello, Miss Zhang." Kong Zhixi slowly stretched out her right hand.

Miss Zhang looked at her outstretched hand, smiled and said, "I'll wash my hands first." Then she went to the kitchen. Kong Zhixi felt a little embarrassed with her hand stretched out in the air. She looked at it twice, waved it twice, wiped it with the corner of her clothes, and then sat back on the sofa.

After the nanny saw the young lady coming back, she also started to set the table. The young lady washed her hands and sat at the table. She didn't look like she wanted to chat with Kong Zhixi.

After the nanny had prepared the dishes, she started eating without caring that Kong Zhixi had been sitting there waiting for more than two hours.

Kong Zhixi had no choice but to take her notebook and recorder, spread them out on the dining table, pulled up a stool, turned on the recorder, and sat opposite her.

"Ms. Zhang, do you know Shu Botian?" She went straight to the point.

"Of course, he's my ex-boyfriend." She ate a piece of steak and wiped her mouth with the white silk scarf beside her.

"Ex-boyfriend? Can you tell me more about it?" She originally thought that they were just having a physical transaction.

"Yes, we've been dating for more than a year. Huh, who would have thought." She picked up the red wine and took another sip.

"What comes to mind?"

"Who would have thought that I would later become one of his clients. What happened to him? Did he owe any debt?" Her tone was still slow.

"he died."

"Dead?" She looked as if she was unaware of his death.

Kong Zhixi nodded. She was stunned for a few seconds, then sneered and said, "Haha, dead! It's what he deserved."

"He deserves it? You hate him?"

"For such an ungrateful person like him, his death is a blessing in disguise." She seemed unwilling to talk too much about her past with the deceased.

"Ms. Zhang, can you tell me about your past?" Kong Zhixi didn't want to waste her time again.

"…What kind of past do we have? It's nothing more than falling in love, breaking up, and then…he's just good at his job, and I'll look for him to entertain myself when I'm lonely." There was still no special emotion in her tone.

Kong Zhixi's phone suddenly rang. It was Li Li. After answering the call, Miss Zhang jokingly asked, "Did your boyfriend check on you?"

"Go on, when was the last time you contacted him?" Kong Zhixi didn't want to waste time on unnecessary topics.

"Well, probably last Tuesday." She thought for a moment.

"Didn't you notice anything abnormal about him?" Kong Zhixi became more and more professional in answering the questions.

"Hmm~ I don't notice any difference." There was suddenly a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Kong Zhixi ended the conversation, went downstairs, and called Li Li, who drove to the gate of the community to pick her up.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Li Li received a call from the police station saying that a body was found in front of a building.
