Be in low spirits

Li Li did not wake up Kong Zhixi and rushed to the scene by himself.

The next morning, Kong Zhixi didn't see Li Li. After making the soufflé and having breakfast, it was already past 9 o'clock. She took a taxi to the police station, but didn't see him either. She put the takeaway box on the table and continued to check Shu Botian's call records, trying to contact him to learn more about his rich woman.

Li Li came out of the forensic room. Looking at the packing box on the table, she smiled unconsciously. It turned out that she remembered.

"Did you find anything?" He opened the box and started eating.

"No, that Miss Zhang is his ex-girlfriend." She tapped the pen in her hand and turned the chair. "Is there a new case?"

Li Li nodded and said, "A female corpse was found hanging in Duohu Square at about 3 a.m. last night."

"Female corpse?"

"Well, it's a female corpse, a bit similar to Shu Botian, with a love seed tattooed on her waist. Old Sui is currently performing an autopsy, and Xiao Zhao has been asked to check the identity information." He ate in a hurry and his words were a little unclear.

Kong Zhixi heard those key words, acacia seeds. She recognized this thing. Her grandfather had said before that this thing was extremely poisonous and looked like red beans.

"So the cause of death was poisoning?" Kong Zhixi thought that if it was, it should be a serial murder case, and another perverted killer had come.

"Old Sui is investigating. By the way, I visited Shu Botian's relatives and friends yesterday. They all had the same opinion of him. As you expected, he is indeed a gigolo."

"Yeah, I guessed it." Kong Zhixi felt bored. The murderer in this case should have more plot settings that they didn't know about.

"He's also a playboy."

"Ah."

"Actually, his family is not short of money, but he just likes to play with flowers." Li Li felt that this was the useful information he had found.

"Are you not short of money to be a gigolo?" This aroused Kong Zhixi's curiosity.

"It's completely driven by interest." Li Li also found it difficult to understand this interest.

"Did his parents take the body back?" Kong Zhixi felt that if this was a rich man's business, it would increase the difficulty of their investigation.

"No, they feel ashamed." Li Li didn't quite understand either.

"Are there any new clues worth investigating?" This time it was Kong Zhixi's turn to ask him about his next move.

"According to his friends, he went to a private clinic a few days ago. We'll go there later." Li Li packed up his lunch box, went to the bathroom to wash up, and called Kong Zhixi to get ready to leave.

It is a men's clinic. The attending doctor is a young man. His achievements are all over the corridor. After studying abroad, he published many SCI papers. There are also many photos of him with some celebrities in the corridor.

Kong Zhixi lowered her voice and asked Li Li, "Do you think these celebrities have some problems that's why they come to him?"

"It's hard to say." Li Li replied, covering his mouth.

The nurse was leading the way, swaying her butt. Her nurse uniform was very short and she was wearing a strong perfume. The two men were given a headache by her back. It seemed like they had walked through this corridor for more than ten minutes, even though it was only a five-minute walk.

When I arrived at the office, I saw the real face of the doctor on the wall. He was indeed the same as in the photo. Judging from his temperament, the white coat he was wearing, and the titles and achievements in the corridor, it was not difficult to infer that the doctor's family background should also be wealthy.

"Hello, Officer Li, please sit down." He pointed to the sofa and signaled the nurse to pour tea.

"Doctor Liu, we are here to ask about Shu Botian." Li Li sat down and began to ask questions. Kong Zhixi also turned on the recorder.

Doctor Liu had been staring at the recorder that Kong Zhixi had opened. After Li Li called out to him twice, he came back to his senses and said with a fake smile, "I'm sorry, Officer Li. Because of my profession, I'm quite sensitive to this."

"Let's talk about Shu Botian's illness." Li Li brought him back to the topic.

"Xiaotian is a playful guy, so it's normal for him to have some male diseases, so he would come to me from time to time to get some medicine."

"What disease is it exactly?"

Doctor Liu glanced at the nurse, and the nurse closed the door and walked out.

"Officer Li, Xiaotian and I have been friends since childhood. Can you tell me what happened to him?" He did not answer Li Li's question directly.

"He's dead." Li Li answered him impartially.

"Dead? But... he came here to see a doctor a few days ago." He was a little surprised.

But in Kong Zhixi's eyes, his surprise seemed more like an act, because he opened his mouth wide on purpose, and even when he heard the word "dead", his eyes were fixed on Li Li. He even paused after listening to what Li Li said. This series of micro-expressions showed that my acting skills were poor and that I was actually the murderer.

"So what illness did he come to see you for?" Li Li was also a little impatient.

"It's just some prostatitis or impotence or something like that. He's been taking medicine for years, but it seems like he doesn't intend to get a cure." He looked a little embarrassed when he talked about this.

"Have you ever told me why you don't want treatment?" Kong Zhixi asked first.

"To treat these diseases, one needs to abstain from desire for a period of time. Xiaotian can't stand it, so he just takes medicine to control it. Besides, these diseases are not life-threatening, so I don't think he cares too much." Doctor Liu explained.

"Did he have any abnormalities on the day he came to get his medicine?" Li Lixiang heard more useful information from the doctor.

"Uh...it doesn't look like that, but he seemed quite happy that day." He recalled for a while.

"Do you know the reason?"

"He seldom tells me his private affairs, because I know his parents, so he doesn't want his parents to hear things about him from me." This didn't sound like a lie.

"Do you know anything about his private affairs?" Li Li felt that this doctor should know a lot.

"Not much, probably just to show off to me. I only know that he had a girlfriend before, who was said to be a senior executive in some company, not too old, with a nice figure, etc." As he spoke, he began to reminisce.

"Do you know what it's called?" Li Li didn't want to miss any clues.

"I don't know. He kept all these things secret. He only said these things once or twice, and I have no way of verifying whether they are true or not."

At this time, Li Li's phone rang. After he answered the phone, he signaled Kong Zhixi with his eyes to get ready to go back.

The two felt that they would not get any useful clues from the doctor today, so they planned to leave. Li Li gave him his business card, hoping that he could call him when he remembered anything.

After getting in the car, Kong Zhixi asked Li Li: "Do you think this doctor is being too obvious?"

"It looks like there are some problems, but we can't conclude that he is the murderer. Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any relationship with the second victim." Li Li turned the steering wheel.

"Are there any clues to the identity of the deceased?" Kong Zhixi felt that he was in a hurry to leave because there must be preliminary investigation results on the second deceased.

"He was also a rich second-generation. We have to go back and ask Old Sui for the specific cause of death."

"It's probably the lovesickness. By the way, since those who died were all rich second-generations, why didn't they find some private detectives to investigate? Are they going to force us?" Kong Zhixi suddenly thought of it.

"How do you know they didn't look for it? Maybe they just hid it from us?" Li Li felt that rich people were much smarter than ordinary people when it came to being stingy.

"Yeah, the richer people are, the stingier they are." Kong Zhixi agreed and gave Li Li a thumbs up.

After returning to the bureau, Li Li gave the information, which contained the identity information of the deceased, to Kong Zhixi.

Zhao Xuanli, 33 years old, unemployed, is the daughter of the Zhao family. There is also a call record in her information. Looking at the name list in the call record, almost all of them are men. I guess she should be a playboy.

"Have the deceased's family members come to identify the body?" Kong Zhixi asked. Out of empathy, she still hoped that the girl could have a good home.

"Not yet, and Old Sui hasn't finished the autopsy yet." Li Li felt that this was also a difficult problem. Although he notified his family in time, they didn't seem to care.

The two arrived at the forensic room. Old Sui looked very secretive. He nodded at Li Li and said, "It was indeed poisoning. Acacia seeds."

As expected, the two cases could be investigated together. After receiving the new information, the two quickly divided the work and conducted investigations separately. Kong Zhixi continued to check the other party's contacts, and Li Li continued to visit the other party's relatives and friends.
