Criminal Investigation Chronicle

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Lei felt conscious, as if he had had a long dream. He smelled a special smell and woke up slowly.After waking up, Zhao Lei looked at his watch. At 2:1 pm on February 1st, more than two hours had passed since he fell into a coma. Then he looked around. Lin Chong, Lu Jiang, Li Yong, and Dong Guo were all there, and Lu Jiang had already regained consciousness. around the crowd, there were a lot of infusion bottles scattered around. Zhao Lei looked at his wrist, and there were pinholes for intravenous infusion. He picked up a few infusion bottles and looked at them. There were no labels on them. Zhao Lei opened them. One smelled it, but didn't smell anything. This room doesn't look big, about [-] to [-] square meters. According to my impression, it should be a certain production workshop. After rubbing his temples vigorously, Zhao Lei began to recall what happened. Obviously, The people did not die after suffocation and coma, someone gave them infusion therapy, and after Zhao Lei took a deep breath, he found that the room was full of oxygen, Zhao Lei was a little confused.Next, everyone gradually came to their senses and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and Dong Guo asked with a blank face: "Boss Zhao, why didn't you go to heaven after you died? Are we going to hell together? Or are you talking about me?" Also went to heaven? Why is it different from what was shown on TV?"

At this time, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared at the door. Zhao Lei recognized at a glance that this person was Hu Li.

As soon as Zhao Lei saw Hu Li, he immediately stood up, approached Hu Li, and asked sharply, "Where is Cao Meng? What did you do to her?"

Hu Li smiled: "I thought this simple hyperbaric oxygen chamber would not be used, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in fact, the third level, the rules are false, no matter which switch you press, the door will not open, You will be poisoned to death in it all the time, and the only way to pass the test is that you don't press the switch until you die. Zhao Lei, you don't have to stare at me like this. I was too extreme in what happened back then. Judging from your performance just now , I don’t think you are a bad person, no wonder Cao Meng loves you so much, but Cao Meng’s death has nothing to do with me.”

Zhao Lei clenched his fists tightly, trembling all over, although he had thought many times that Cao Meng might have died long ago, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still felt extremely sad, and asked tremblingly, "How did she die? "

Hu Li stopped laughing, and said with a serious face and sadness: "When I kidnapped Cao Meng, I couldn't think about it for a while. I wanted to kill her to avenge my brother, but I couldn't bear it after all. Looking at Cao Meng's swollen belly, I thought about it. The little life that was not born in it, I didn't harm her, on the contrary, the two of us got along very well, like sisters. Later, her belly grew bigger and bigger, and I was always taking care of her. When I was about to give birth, I disguised myself I sent her to the best local hospital, but unfortunately, Cao Meng died of dystocia in the end, and I was also very sad, at that time, our relationship was already very deep." Hu Li covered her face with her hands, unable to bear it. stop sobbing.

After Zhao Lei heard this, he walked out of the room tremblingly, found a place to squat down, put his head in his hands, and asked, "Where's the child?"

Hu Li stopped crying and said: "My child, the child is mine. I have raised him for 15 years. After I was wanted, I have been hiding in Tibet. I have changed many identities. The child and I depend on each other. In fact, after Cao Meng died, some I didn’t want to live for a while, at that time I didn’t know what was the point of living, but whenever I saw little Populus euphratica, the child of you and Cao Meng, I named him Populus euphratica, after my surname, As soon as I saw Populus euphratica, I thought that I must raise him and let him grow up. Although he knew that I was not his biological mother, I always regarded him as my son, and he also regarded me as his biological mother. , 15 years, do you know how a wanted criminal raised a baby to 15 years old? He is a good boy, but he doesn't like to talk..." Hu Li's tone was sincere, with deep maternal love in her eyes. With tears in his eyes, he turned to say: "Soon, you will see him. You have successfully passed the third level. There are ropes in the warehouse. You can tie me up, I will not escape."

Zhao Lei stood up, looked at Hu Li, and looked at everyone. The woman in front of her abducted her beloved wife and the child in her belly 15 years ago. The wife died of dystocia, and she brought up her child with her own hands. , After 15 years of shady life... Zhao Lei felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, he took out a cigarette and lit it slowly. The vicious woman who ruined his family wanted to kill her quickly. At this time, Hu Li was standing beside her without any resistance. She also told what happened after kidnapping her wife. Zhao Lei finally slapped her hard. Taking a puff of smoke, he took Hu Li to the warehouse, and said, "Hu Li, the grievance between us, let it be like this, after all, you helped Cao Meng when she needed someone to take care of her most, after all, you brought me up with your own hands. My child, you are waiting in the warehouse now, and I will hand you over to the police when I catch Zhao Feng. Your case is not a crime of death, and I will help you find a lawyer, for Cao Meng and for the child." In the end, Zhao Lei Hu Li was not tied up.

Hu Li nodded, and struggled to say, "Thank you."

Zhao Lei turned around and raised his head, not letting his tears flow.

Lin Chong came over and refilled Zhao Lei's cigarette. The two of them were silent and started smoking.

At this time, the loudspeaker sounded, and Zhao Feng said: "Officer Zhao, very good, you have successfully passed the third level. Now, you open the door of workshop four. You must go in together. For this level, the more people there are, the higher the chance of winning." Bigger."

Zhao Lei looked at the crowd, and everyone nodded to show that it was okay. Lin Chong carried Li Yong who was still in a coma on his back, Zhao Lei and five people entered Workshop [-], and then the door behind him was locked, but this time Zhao Lei kept staring at the door, He noticed that the one who locked the door was a tall, thin boy, the same one he saw at the hotel last night.Four miles away in the workshop, Zhao Lei saw that Xiao Liu who had fallen into the trap in front was tied to a tall wooden frame and had lost consciousness. Zhao Lei checked Xiao Liu's breath, and there was still breath, but it was a little faint.On the table in front of Xiao Liu, there were five test tubes, which contained the same amount of colorless liquid. Zhao Lei sniffed it, but found no smell.A room of [-] to [-] square meters, apart from that, there is nothing else.

The loudspeaker sounded again, and Zhao Feng said: "Officer Zhao, have you seen the test tubes in front of you? One of them contains the antidote, and the rest are filled with the same type of drug, and that young colleague of yours contains exactly this type of drug." □, this □□ is prepared by myself, of course, the antidote is only available to me, but I haven’t studied this kind of □□ thoroughly, how much it can cause a coma, and how much it can cause death , I didn’t figure it out, your colleague is in good health, and he didn’t die after drinking enough of the test tube, but according to my calculations, he will die within an hour at most. Next, the four of you, assign the corresponding Test the poison with yourself to find out which is the antidote, but don’t worry, the antidote has been researched clearly, and the antidote in one test tube is enough for more than a dozen people to detoxify. If you are lucky, you will find the antidote the first time. Medicine, everyone is fine, if you are unlucky, hahaha..."

Zhao Lei immediately understood the current situation. There were five test tubes on the table, and Xiao Liu was deeply poisoned. It was necessary for the four of them to test the poison with their own bodies. Only by trying out which one is the antidote can everyone be saved.It seems that this is another "trolley problem" in disguise. Now Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei, Lin Chong, Lu Jiang, and Dong Guo are awake, but Zhao Lei can't bear to let everyone risk their lives to test the poison. .

Zhao Lei took out a pen and marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the test tube, then began to think, looked at the crowd and said, "Let's take a gamble." Then the corners of Zhao Lei's mouth slightly raised, revealing a casual smile.

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Lin Chong came over and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder to check the time. According to what Zhao Feng said, there were still 56 minutes left.

Next to him, Dong Guodang said first: "Boss Zhao, I can see that this level is very similar to the last one. If it wasn't for Boss Zhao, we would all have died in the last level. I won't say much. I'll come first." , Boss Zhao, I did it voluntarily, you don’t have to feel bad, my Dong Guo’s life is yours.” After speaking, Dong Guo picked up the test tube number 1, took a sip, and put down the test tube.

Two minutes later, Dong Guo's body went limp and he collapsed on the ground.Zhao Lei immediately stepped forward to check and found that Dong Guo was still breathing, but it was a little faint.

Lin Chong didn't hesitate, and said, "Brother Zhao, I'll take this." He picked up the No. 2 test tube and took a sip.A few minutes later, Lin Chong, like Dong Guo, collapsed on the ground and passed out.

Now there are only No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 left, and Zhao Lei is only left with Zhao Lei and Lu Jiang. Looking at the unconscious Li Yong, Zhao Lei took a breath and said to Lu Jiang: "Old Lu, I'll come first. "

Lu Jiang shook his head and said: "Officer Zhao, I know what you mean, there are still No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 left. If you come first, after being poisoned, I only need to drink the liquid in the remaining two test tubes. One □ An antidote, so that I will be fine, and I can save you, so I can say that I am not in danger, right. But Police Officer Zhao, let me come first, my old Lu's life, as early as many years It was thrown in the frontier before." After speaking, Lu Jiang picked up the No. 5 test tube and took a sip, ignoring Zhao Lei's objection.

Soon, Lu Jiang also fell down like Dong Guo and Lin Chong.

Zhao Lei looked at the three people who fell down. After checking the bodies of the three people, he found that the vital signs were still stable. Then he walked to the table and observed the No. 3 and No. 4 test tubes. From the outside, there was no difference between the two test tubes. , the same amount of liquid, the same heavy feel, the same color and the same tasteless.After thinking for a few minutes, Zhao Lei smiled relievedly, picked up the No. 3 test tube and took a sip, then picked up the No. 4 test tube and took a sip.

Two or three minutes later, Zhao Lei felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he tried to open his eyes to stay awake, but found that his body was out of control, his mind went blank, and then his eyes darkened, and he fell down.It's just that at the moment when Zhao Lei was about to fall, the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. Zhao Lei's last thought was, it really is like this.
