The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The dull pain came from the spine. The woman opened her eyes and struggled subconsciously, but it was difficult to move her limbs.

She was like a boiled shrimp, curled up on the dusty ground, her hands and knees bound by ropes in front of her chest, and her sweat and dirty hair blocked her view.

"Uh-uh-"

She struggled hard, but her gagged mouth could only make a sound not much louder than a mouse.

The more conscious I was, the more unbearable the pain in my back became.She began to tremble, and fear gripped her throat tightly like hands.

"How do you feel?" A hoarse voice came from behind.

She was stiff, and the damp air filled her with shortness of breath.

She wanted to turn around, but she didn't know if it was because the rope was tied too tightly, even though the force holding her was removed, her waist still couldn't exert force.

Like, suddenly paralyzed.

"Do you feel that it's getting hot here?" A hand covered her thigh, patted it, and slowly touched it in the direction of her knee.

The speaker was chuckling, but the laughter was creepy.

She stared at the hand protruding from behind in surprise, her mind buzzing.

Legs... No feeling in the legs?

No, it wasn't completely unconscious, but it felt very strange. Even though her hands were directly touching the skin, she felt that there was a thick coarse cloth.

How could this be?

"Is it hot?" A shadow stepped across her body, looking at her from above.

She couldn't lift the hair from her face, so she couldn't see Shadow's face clearly.

"It's right to be hot." Shadow squatted down with a smile, and the cold light of the scissors flashed.

Her pupils shrank sharply, and she closed her eyes reflexively, but felt the rope loosen on her body.

The shadow actually untied her.

The survival instinct made her want to run away immediately - if she couldn't stand up, she would have to crawl to get out of here.

But the rope was untied, but her legs felt nothing!

Shadow turned the scissors and stabbed her bare leg suddenly.

Her scream was stuck in her throat like a fishbone, unable to swallow or spit it out.

Blood gushed out from the wound immediately, but she felt no pain.The wound conveyed to her only slight tenderness, like being pinched.

Shadow stabbed again, "How is it, is my anesthesia technique okay?"

Ma, anesthesia?

"Actually, I can also give you general anesthesia." With that said, Shadow pulled the scissors out of the meat and quickly slashed upwards.

The piercing, sharp pain on her cheek made her scream and struggle.

Unlike her sluggish legs, this time, she clearly felt warm blood dripping from her cheeks.

Shadow let out a deep, sinister smile, and the sharp tip of the scissors moved across her face, "But if you are completely anesthetized, you won't be able to see how you were..."

The last few words were sent into her right ear like a mantra.

Sweat seemed to gush from every pore.

She thought dazedly, this must be just a nightmare!

Shadow stood up, whistled and walked into the shadows, and came back with a thin knife in his hand.

She shook her head violently, her voice weak, her eyes full of pleading.

don't want!don't want!

The shadow just laughed, and turned the knife around in her hand, drawing a bloodstain on her ankle.

Blood gushed out and ran down her fair skin. Her eyes were protruding, and the veins on her neck and forehead almost broke out of her skin.

The fear had already surpassed the pain. Her upper body was stuck on the ground like a stake, and she watched the bloodline on her right foot continue to spread.

Her feet seemed to have been separated from her body.

Do not……

She screamed silently.

The blood flowed all over the place, and the shadow looked at her again, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Do you want to see me cut your chest and abdomen open?"

Special Operations Team of the Ministry of Public Security, Information Warfare Team.

The man walked like the wind, his slender figure reflected on the glass wall on one side.He was not wearing a police uniform, the top button of his shirt was unbuttoned, his hem was tucked into his trousers, his sleeves were rolled up to his forearm, he looked capable and neat.

Out of tune with his attire, he was actually carrying a tightly tied takeaway bag.

"Hey, the flower team is here!" Ying Zheng rushed out of an office in a hurry, looked straight at the takeaway pocket, and asked knowingly, "Is this for my brother?"

Hua Chong smiled and said, "Maocai Restaurant No. [-] Xiaoshen Street, spicy beef set meal, try it?"

Ying Zheng's face immediately turned pale, and he waved his hands quickly, "Don't dare to try, don't dare to try! This set meal looks at our entire group, only Brother Liu, the hero, dares to try."

A ray of soft light rolled across Hua Chong's eyes, "What do you want to eat, I'll call for you later."

"I'm just kidding!" Yingzheng grinned, "They all ate, only Brother Liu and I are still hungry, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat. You go in quickly, Brother Liu is going crazy from hunger."

As he said that, Yingzheng turned his head and pointed to Room 1205.

Hua Chong took the ID card, and before swiping it, he was still pondering what Ying Zheng said, "Brother Liu is going crazy from hunger", and the corners of his lips curled into a smile unconsciously.

This is obviously an exaggeration. Liu Zhiqin can't feel hungry as soon as he starts working. He has to wait until someone—such as him—puts food in front of him before he remembers to eat.

No matter how hungry you are not crazy, Liu Zhiqin.

"drop--"

There was a mechanical sound from the identity verification device, and the door lock popped open.

Hua Chong pushed the door open and entered, only to hear a burst of intensive keyboard tapping.

The owner of the hot and spicy beef set meal was sitting with his back facing him in a semi-circular workbench composed of multiple servers and display screens.

The high-end machine was overloaded, emitting a low roar, and the cold light of the display screen cast on the outline of Liu Zhiqin, adding a hint of mystery.

Hua Chong didn't make a sound, put his pocket on the table by the door, and put away the messy documents along the way.

After finishing all this, he leaned relaxedly on the edge of the table, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and squinted at Liu Zhiqin.

This is the domain of top information warfare experts, and the codes that flash across the screen are like a bible to him, and he can't understand them for a while.

But he can understand Liu Zhiqin.

"Keyboard Man" seems to be calling it a day.

"The tracking of the springboard is complete, lock on 'Galaxy'." Liu Zhiqin whispered into the headset.

The screen-full code stagnates for a moment, and then changes at high speed again.

Compared with usual, Liu Zhiqin's voice at this time is less gentle, and his words are cold, almost indifferent, but inexplicably makes people feel reliable.

Hua Chongban raised his eyebrows, thinking, this is probably the aura that is naturally possessed after being strong in a certain field?

After explaining, Liu Zhiqin took off the headset, only then did he notice that he was not the only one in the room.

The moment he turned around, his eyes changed suddenly, and he said with a smile, "How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived." Hua Chong raised his chin towards the delivery pocket, "The food is not cold yet."

Liu Zhiqin approached quickly, looked at the food on the table, "Maocai?"

"You said you wanted to eat it yesterday." Hua Chong untied his pocket and took out a small plastic bowl of chili peppers, "I even asked the boss to add some chili peppers."

Liu Zhiqin didn't eat spicy food very much before, but after staying in Los Angeles for two years, he developed a problem of not enjoying spicy food. After returning to the special operations team, he felt that the canteen was not strong enough. Fortunately, he found a counterfeit restaurant not long after. , the boss is from Los Angeles, and he is no different from the Maocai restaurant near the Los Angeles City Bureau.

"Galaxy" is the number one target of the special operations team in the near future. This person uses the Internet to conduct cross-border illegal organ trade, and has established a deep root at home and abroad. The information warfare team has formulated a careful trap plan years ago. Since last week, Liu Zhi Qin almost lived in the team, and now he finally dug out this man and the gang behind him.

As soon as the package was opened, the aroma of maocai wafted out.

Hua Chong went to the window and opened the curtains and windows for ventilation.

It was already the height of spring at this time, the temperature was close to 30°C, and the dry air rushed in with the smell of vegetation.

Hua Chong took a deep breath and stretched his eyebrows.

The special operations team experienced a number of personnel transfers last year, and Xiao Yu'an went to Dongye City to vacate a crucial position.Shen Xun has repeatedly been active in the Los Angeles police circle, and finally agrees with Hua Chong to be seconded for a year to be the head of the criminal investigation team.

Liu Zhiqin also returned to the information warfare team.

After being transferred for half a month, Hua Chong adapted well. He not only got along well with the brothers in the criminal investigation team, but also took in a younger brother in the information warfare team.

Although they are all investigating criminal cases, the cases faced by the special operations team come from all over the country, almost all of which are difficult to solve by the local police. Shen Xun formed an elite team for him. He just led the team three days ago. Help the elite come back from Chuzhong City in the northeast, and solve a 3-year-old case that has not been resolved.

Liu Zhiqin is naturally also an important member of his team, but the information warfare team will not let him go for the time being, so he has to "bribe" with a fake meal.

In a short time, half of the beef set meal was wiped out.Hua Chong returned to the table, with nowhere to put his hand, and poked Liu Zhiqin's hair, "Look, I'm going to make the child hungry."

Liu Zhiqin raised his eyes slightly, expressing a deep meaning, "I'm quite hungry."

Hua Chong paused with his finger, retracted it, and pretended not to understand.

In the evening, after the information warfare team meeting, Liu Zhiqin walked towards the elevator with a silver-gray notebook in one hand.

In the special operations team, he has always been the most special member. Sometimes he stays in the information warfare team, and sometimes he is recruited by the criminal investigation detachment. mental and physical load.

Ying Zheng was also waiting for the elevator, hanging on his earphones and looking at his phone intently.

Liu Zhiqin glanced at it. It was a suspenseful reality show that has been popular for the past two years. It is called "Guessing Heart Channel". The participants are divided into celebrities and amateurs.

Not many people in the special operations team like to watch this kind of show.Accustomed to dealing with bizarre murder cases, Liu Zhiqin could see the routine of the show without using his brain, there was nothing new and no suspense.

Ying Zheng looked at it with a silly smile.

"Brother Liu, eat my Amway!" Seeing someone approaching, Yingzheng quickly pulled off the earphones, and brought the phone to Liu Zhiqin, "This show is so popular, you won't lose money if you watch it, and you won't be fooled by watching it!"

"Thank you, I don't want to eat." The elevator door opened, Liu Zhiqin walked in, and pressed the floor of the criminal investigation team.

"Ruthless hacker Liu Zhiqin." Yingzheng hung up one of the earphones, and his eyes fell on Liu Zhiqin's notebook, "Hey brother Liu, are you going to stay at the flower team? I'm afraid I won't be able to provoke you." The backbone of our team."

Liu Zhiqin's tone was quite casual, "Boss Ying, come on, show your enthusiasm for chasing variety shows during working hours, you are the most domineering kid on this floor."

Ying Zheng: "Bah, I think you just want to hang out with the flower team."

When we arrived on the 9th floor, Liu Zhiqin left a sentence: "I never deny it."

Qishu Town is located in the southwest, with a high altitude. When spring arrives, rape blossoms are all over the mountains and plains, and you can see a bright yellow ocean in the distance.

Rapeseed flowers can be found everywhere, and there are quite a few on the scale of Qishu Town.However, Qishu Town is backed by snow-capped mountains. In the spring, the top of the mountain is covered with snow like clouds, surrounded by a splendid cavity, and it has become a favorite photo-sacred place for tourists.

Spring in the plateau comes later than in the plains, and the rapeseed flowers in Qishu Town will not fully bloom until another week later.At that time, the few hotels in the town will usher in the peak of passenger flow.

Liu Sheng came here last year. He wanted to take pictures of the snow-capped mountains and sea of ​​flowers and post them on social platforms to show off, but he was blinded by the colorful silk scarves in the sea of ​​flowers. There are various poses in the sea of ​​flowers, changing ten silk scarves without taking a breath.

"Let's go early this year! Get ahead of them!" Liu Sheng said to his classmate Li Quan: "I don't believe we can't take pictures of nobody!"

But to her disappointment, they had already arrived in Qishu Town a week earlier this year, but they were still preempted by the aunts.At the end of the day, I just couldn't take a satisfactory photo.

"Otherwise, let's go tomorrow morning, just in time to take pictures of the sunrise in the sea of ​​flowers." Li Quan suggested.

"Early? How early?" Liu Sheng hugged the DSLR and sighed, "I can't be as early as Aunt Silk Scarf."

"If you don't sleep, you'll get it?" Li Quan is a quick-fried man, stuffing water and biscuits into his backpack while talking, "I've checked, and the flowers bloom well in the southeast corner, which is the farthest from the town. At least. We’ll go there right away, at worst, we’ll sleep on the side of the road, and we’ll shoot as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Good idea! It's far away, even if an aunt gets up early, she won't run that far!"

The two prepared their equipment, ate a dry pot in the busiest street in the town, and walked out of the town to the southeast corner. It was already 1 o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the destination.

The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is huge, and Liu Sheng still feels cold in a fleece jacket.

For the convenience of tourists, the local government has specially built a lot of paths around and in the middle of the rapeseed field, but after all, it is only a wild scenic spot without any supporting facilities.

Liu Sheng and Li Quan sat on the ground, and at first they felt that the sky was uniquely poetic and picturesque, but after a long time, they were too cold to bear.

"The wind hurts my eyes." Liu Sheng wrapped his jacket tightly, squinted and looked into the distance, "Let's find a place to keep out the wind."

Li Quan is a boy, and he is not as thickly dressed as Liu Sheng, so he couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay!"

Continuing to the south from the rape flower field, there is a low hill, and the outline of the low brick house can be vaguely seen, which was built by the nearby farmers for the convenience of work.

Liu Sheng's face turned pale from the cold, and he was elated when he saw the brick house, so he ran quickly.

Li Quan shouted from behind: "Slow down, this is a plateau!"

But Liu Sheng didn't listen, and just wanted to get into the house quickly to avoid the wind.

However, the door squeaked, and a strange stench rushed over.

Liu Sheng froze at the door.

The gloomy moonlight broke into the closed darkness, and a crooked figure was facing Liu Sheng.

"Why didn't you move? You must have run away, and I told you not to..." Li Quan finally caught up, but his words stopped abruptly.

The woman was sitting on the ground, her long hair hanging down to her chest, her bulging eyes were staring at the door, her nearly rotten face was filled with pain and fear.

Li Quan raised his hand and landed on Liu Sheng's shoulder numbly.

Liu Sheng opened his mouth and screamed as if he was suddenly snapped back into his soul.

"what--"
