When the magic flower blooms

Although the death toll has increased to two, multiple clues have begun to overlap, and the matters to be investigated next have also become clear.

Ming Ruoxing first made an analysis: "Shen Hao and Lou Minqiu are colleagues, and both disappeared after carrying out business trips. This shows that most of the murderers also work in Jujingtang, and it is very likely that they have a close relationship with Shen and Lou. We now know that the murderer has appeared in various places pretending to be Lou and Shen many times, which at least shows that the murderer has a lot of free time this week, and it is impossible to engage in regular work from [-] to [-]. Investigating Lou and Shen Those who have irregular relationships with people around them should gain something."

"Then what if there is more than one murderer?"

He Tiansi raised another possibility: "If it is a murder, the murderer will pretend to be Lou and Shen. In this way, the employer can sit on the Diaoyutai, as if nothing happened? "

"That's not the case."

Ming Ruoxing said that he had ruled out this possibility a long time ago: "According to the testimony of Lou Shen's family and colleagues, the person pretending to be Lou Chen not only knew the subordinates who came to pick him up, but was also very familiar with the internal layout of the Jujingtang Research Institute. , even some work matters brought up by others to him can be answered fluently. If it is just an ordinary hired killer, it is rare and unnecessary to do this level - if you want to make people think that Lou and Shen are still alive, you just have to It’s all about recording a video or showing your face in front of an ATM machine.”

He Tiansi seemed to realize something: "You mean that the murderer is not only an internal staff member of Jujing Hall, but also that he returned to the research institute after killing Shen and Lou, and he probably has other plans?"

"This is only a speculative direction, but it is indeed worth investigating in this direction."

Ming Ruoxing found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down a list, "Now, we need to ask Lao Lin to help us inquire about these things. I have an intuition that the essence of this case is actually not complicated."

-

Although Ming Ruoxing's list was once again strongly protested by Lin Dejing, but just one day later, the answers he needed still appeared on the mailing list very readily.

"Lao Lin said that Shen Hao is the deputy director of the sales department of the research center. Lou Minqiu is the director of the R&D department. These two people have no intersection in terms of education background, circle of friends, or family background, and they usually just nod in the unit. They don't seem to be acquaintances. The family members of each other also confirmed that the two of them are not familiar with each other in private."

He Tiansi extracted the essence of the mail at a glance.

"However, what is interesting is that through the restoration of Lou Minqiu's mobile phone call records, it can be found that in the two months before his disappearance, he had frequently called Shen Hao's mobile phone number. A secret relationship that everyone knows...underground love?"

"If you have something to say, don't let it go." Ming Ruoxing reminded him, "Then what about Shen Hao's call records?"

"Shen Hao is in charge of the promotion and sales of new drugs, and the call records on his mobile phone are at least ten times more than those of Lou Minqiu. Um...Old Lin must be too lazy to sort it out, so he just pulled out a list."

As he said that, He Tiansi had already cut the picture onto the projection.The two looked up together, looking at the densely packed time and phone numbers.

"What are these numbers with only six digits?" Ming Ruoxing used a laser pointer to draw out a few strings of obviously short numbers.

"It's the short number of the internal employees of Jujingtang. The R&D department starts with 66, and the sales department starts with 67. The last four digits correspond to the last four digits of each employee's mobile phone." He Tiansi followed the script, "For example, this 665241 It's Lou Minqiu's phone number."

Ming Ruoxing nodded, and scrolled the mouse to scan the long call list slowly. After about 2 minutes, he suddenly discovered something, and started to reverse the picture again.

"What did you find?" He Tiansi was curious.

"661291 is a cornet, I seem to have seen the last four digits just now..."

Ming Ruoxing moved his fingers like flying, and quickly found a record just now, "137xxxx1291, yes, that's the number!"

"People who were still using the internal free short number one and a half months ago, the call records 20 days ago have become an 11-digit paid full number..."

He Tiansi immediately grasped the point, "Does it mean that this person has lost the qualification to use internal short numbers during this period of time?!"

"It's very likely."

Ming Ruoxing quickly found the personal information of this number in the comparison table.

"Chen Ping, an associate researcher in the New Drug Research and Development Department."

After reading this, he paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at He Tiansi.

"This Chen Ping, his dominant gene is a chameleon."

-

So far, the biggest suspect in the case has surfaced.Without trying to deduce Chen Ping's motive for committing the crime slowly, Ming Ruoxing decisively informed Lin Dejing of the progress of the case, while asking him to find out Chen Ping's current whereabouts as soon as possible.

At the same time, he and He Tiansi also set off immediately and rushed to City S again—the case was about to reach its climax, and no one was willing to be absent.

When their vehicle drove into the entrance of S City, Ming Ruoxing finally received the feedback from Lin Dejing on his mobile phone: Chen Ping, an associate researcher in the new drug research and development department, had resigned from Jujingtang 20 days ago and moved to the city. Leaving the dormitory in the Jujingtang factory area.However, he still kept in touch with many colleagues, and even took the initiative to inquire about the travel information of Shen Hao and Lou Minqiu.

As for Chen Ping's current whereabouts, for the time being, he can only be found out to be rented in a farm house on the outskirts of the city.Considering that this person is indeed a serious suspect, Lin Dejing has already appointed other Asian policemen to rush to the scene.

According to the specific address given by Lin Dejing, He Tiansi quickly turned the car around and rushed towards Chen Ping's farm house.

When they arrived at the scene, several police cars were already parked in the alley outside the farm house, and the red and blue flashing police lights illuminated the cramped and messy brick houses around them.

Squeezing away the crowd of onlookers, Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi struggled to walk deep into the alley, and soon saw a dilapidated two-story building blocked by a cordon.

Perhaps because it is too dilapidated, there is only one resident in the small building, Chen Ping.His room is at the end of the corridor on the second floor.There were no lights in the hallway, and no daylight could come in. It was like the bottom of a deep well.

Not only that, but as soon as they walked up to the second floor, they smelled a strong rancid smell.

Chen Ping rented a single room of less than [-] square meters, without kitchen, bathroom and other supporting facilities.At this moment, the door was thrown open, and the police had laid treads on the floor.

But even so, looking around, Ming Ruoxing still felt that there was no place to stand.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a garbage dump than a bedroom for one person.The furnishings in the room consisted of a bed, a desk, and a large wardrobe.But these three pieces of furniture were almost completely submerged in assorted household waste.

White, black and transparent lunch boxes are all over the floor, and the uneaten food has begun to rot.The blood-stained cotton bandages and syringes with needles meant that Chen Ping had performed some kind of "medical behavior" in this room.

But that wasn't the source of the rancid smell they'd just smelled in the hallway -- a policeman reached into the closet.There was only a whoosh, and half a cabinet of cats, dogs, rats, and other animal corpses poured down, almost drowning the dumbfounded policemen.

The rancid smell in the air suddenly exploded exponentially.He Tiansi quickly grabbed Ming Ruoxing, protected him and escaped to the window at the entrance of the corridor, panting heavily.

"Is this Chen Ping crazy?" After regaining his composure, he asked this question naturally.

"It should be." Ming Ruoxing nodded, "But people don't go crazy for no reason, and the answer is probably hidden in that room."

Shortly after the police evacuated in embarrassment, a special clean-up team in protective clothing arrived on the scene.Piles of animal carcasses were quickly removed.After forced ventilation for a period of time, everyone put on their masks before re-entering Chen Ping's horror cabin.

"look here."

He Tiansi first made an important discovery in the opened wardrobe.It was a pile of photographs, newspaper clippings, and handwritten records taped to the wooden boards of the cabinet.There are bloodstains and claw marks of unknown origin on it, which looks very scary.

"This is a photo of Shen Hao and Lou Minqiu, and next to it is their work history in the past month. This is the boarding pass of the flight Shen Hao took...Why is there a photo of a person here?"

Following the direction of He Tiansi's finger, Ming Ruoxing soon saw it—not far from the photos of Lou and Shen, there was a printed photo of a man about the same age as He Tiansi and the others. Quite a young man, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with an intellectual and elite appearance.

"..."

For some reason, as soon as He Tiansi's gaze landed on this photo, he fixed it firmly, and he couldn't bear to look away.

"He Tiansi, He Tiansi?!"

Aware of his abnormality, Ming Ruoxing called him in a worried voice, "What's wrong?"

"……fine."

I don't want my lover to worry too much.He Tiansi shook his head resolutely, then took out his phone and took a photo of this photo.

"We should hurry up and find out who this person is. It may be Chen Ping's third target."

-

The investigation into the people in the photos came quickly.That gentle-looking young man is named Yu Benxin, and he is the third son of the executive director of Jujingtang.And his current position is precisely the deputy director of the S City Science Research Center of Jujingtang Pharmaceutical.

"Tsk tsk, I'm only 28 years old and already the deputy director. The hereditary system is cool. I'm a few months older than him. I'm so popular."

He Tiansi didn't know how many times he sighed similarly when looking at the reproduced photos on his mobile phone.

Inexplicably, Ming Ruoxing just felt uncomfortable for a while.

"What are you doing? Since just now, you've been keeping your three sentences close to your heart. Did you see him?"

"how come!"

He Tiansi turned around and laughed at him, "Oh hey, are you jealous?"

"I think you took the wrong medicine." Ming Ruoxing was driving and didn't bother to argue with him.

Seeing that he didn't continue to blow his hair, He Tiansi couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and after thinking about it, he said again: "But it's really strange, I think this is quite eye-catching in my heart. I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere before." Yes. Anyway, I’m going to see him soon, so it’s not bad to ask him face to face.”

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Ming Ruoxing's heart suddenly "thumped".

Could it be that Naga has seen this in his heart?Because of official business, or because of the private matter that Naga had been secretly investigating before?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be dangerous to take He Tiansi to see Yu Benxin now?

In a blink of an eye, the vehicle had already approached the factory area where the Jujingtang Scientific Research Center was located—at most 10 minutes before He Tiansi saw Yu Benxin, he had to think of a way quickly!
