The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The boats docked at the pier are very old, with mottled hulls, and they don't look so safe.

Because the pier was closed for several days, the traffic between Minqian County and Fanglong Island was cut off. People on the island could not get out, and people outside the island could not get on. As soon as the pier was notified in the morning that they could sail, there were many people crowded Buy tickets at the ticket office, and then push and push to get on the boat.

The local police told Hua Chong that there are still a lot of exchanges between the island and the county, and the suspension of navigation has a great impact on these small business people, so they all hurried there while the navigation is open, but the weather still has concerns at the pier. There are not many boats released, and safety must be ensured first. Those small boats that must be maintained will not be able to go out. It may be a bit crowded on the boat for a while.

Hua Chong nodded and said it was all right.

The county still treats him as a leader, worrying that he will find it hard to squeeze the boat.In fact, this is nothing to him at all, and it has nothing to do with hard work.

There are currently only two ships that can sail, and it will take a long time.Yue Yue was quite fresh when he first arrived at the pier, but he became less calm after waiting for a while, frequently checking the time, "How long will this wait?"

Hua Chong was calm. He bought two barrels of instant noodles and two bottles of milk tea from the store at the pier, filled them with boiling water and handed them to Yue Yue, "It's still early, eat something."

They came out in a hurry in the morning and didn't even eat breakfast. It was almost 10 o'clock at this time, and their stomachs were uncomfortable.

"Eat such heavy-tasting food early in the morning?" Yue Yue took it over with a disgusted expression on his face.

"How heavy is the taste?" Hua Chong looked at the spicy beef on his side. Yue Yue was from the north. He was afraid that Yue Yue would not be used to spicy food, so he bought mushroom chicken without any spicy oil. Is it heavy taste?

"Unhealthy food has a heavy taste." Yue Yue took the milk tea in his hand and threw it away, "Instant noodles, preservatives, milk tea, saccharin."

"Tsk." Hua Chong laughed, "It's pretty fine."

Yue Yue said so, but he didn't want to put down the barrel of mushroom chicken, he had to eat it after soaking it in a while, and he had to drink milk tea mixed with saccharine after eating.He changed his hand to hold the bucket, and touched the back of his head, "What's so delicate, isn't this still instant noodles with milk tea?"

Hua Chong laughed, "Isn't it fine when you don't come out to investigate the case?"

Yue Yue was stunned when he heard this, and his face immediately turned red, "Hey, Hai Zi arranged for me again."

"That's not called choreography." When Hua Chong first came to the special operations team, he was faced with unfamiliar faces. The captain has experience in this job. He has to lead the team forward and understand the temper of each team member. , You have to know a little bit about all kinds of petty tempers and hobbies, so that you can start your work.

The first person to get acquainted with him was Haizi, he was a talkative person who could say a few words about everything.When talking about Yue Yue, Hai Zi patted his legs and laughed, saying to the flower team that Yue Yue is five big and three thick, but in fact, he is extremely slender in heart, as if he has a dual personality. Facial mask, morning, noon and evening, I also applied for the annual card of the beauty salon, unfortunately, the days of running outside accounted for most of the year, and the annual card expired after not using it a few times, it was a blood loss.

"I apply it three times in the morning, noon and evening because it will expire if I don't apply it quickly." After the mushroom chicken was soaked, Yue Yue said while eating: "I buy a lot as soon as I buy it, and I put it in the refrigerator for storage, but that can't be saved. I can’t use it when I’m on a business trip, so I’ll make up for it when I go back, otherwise it will expire like an annual card, and I’ll suffer a second wave of blood loss.”

Hua Chong sounds funny.When they are policemen, there is nothing they can do. If there is a case, they have to take it up. Some cases are solved within ten and a half months. For now, everything else has to be put aside, isn't this the mission of the criminal police.

"Flower team, you're still talking about me, don't you put on a mask at home?" Yue Yue glanced at Hua Chong, he was envious of Hua Chong's skin, let alone as delicate as a girl, anyway, among their men, it was absolutely Even if they are well maintained, they obviously stay up late together and eat junk food together. They eat more fried and stir-fried food than anyone else, and their skin is better than anyone else. Can this be done without a mask?

Hua Chong was taken aback by the question. It’s not that he hasn’t applied facial masks before, but he didn’t buy them on a special trip. They were gifts from the merchants when he bought things like shampoo and washing powder. He didn’t know what brand it was. The principle of not wasting, tear it off and stick it on the face, and observe it after putting it on, but I didn't find any changes on the face.

There was only one time, and it was still in Los Angeles, and he and Liu Zhiqin had been friends for a while.On an online shopping festival, daily necessities were heavily discounted. He bought a large box, and the store stuffed 5 masks in it.When he was packing up, he didn't look at what kind of mask it was, and he probably didn't recognize it when he saw it. He put it on after taking a bath at night, and thought it was better than the one he gave before.It's not so itchy that I can't help but pick it, but I always feel uncomfortable.

That day Liu Zhiqin took Erwa to the pet shop to take a bath, and when he came back, he stared at him for a long time and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Huh?" He didn't look in the mirror after applying the mask, and didn't realize it for a while, "It's nothing."

Liu Zhiqin pushed him under the overhead light in the living room, getting closer and closer.From that angle, his first reaction was that Liu Zhiqin wanted to kiss him.As a result, Liu Zhiqin sniffed his cheek, and his eyebrows frowned even deeper, "What did you put on your face?"

"No... oh, I just put on a mask."

Liu Zhiqin took out his mobile phone and clicked on his face, "See for yourself, it's all red."

He looked at it, and it wasn't very red, but his cheeks and forehead were indeed a little unnatural.

"What kind of mask, show me." Liu Zhiqin washed his hands, "Don't you buy the Sanwu mask on Weishang?"

He laughed, "Why would I buy that kind of mask."

Liu Zhiqin looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe what he said.He dug out the remaining 4 sheets from the bathroom drawer, "That will cost money, I gave it as a shopping gift."

The corners of Liu Zhiqin's lips twitched, "Just put any gift on your face? It's not as good as the Sanwu mask."

"Really?" He rubbed his face, not taking it seriously, "I've been applying it for a long time, and it's okay."

"How long has it been?" Liu Zhiqin leaned at him, "Isn't there something wrong?"

Don't say it's nothing, the more you talk, the more itchy he feels, and the redder it will be after scratching it twice.

"Don't scratch." Liu Zhiqin squeezed his chin, "Let me see."

He was amused by Liu Zhiqin's earnestness, and couldn't help laughing.

"Still laughing?"

"Then stop laughing."

Liu Zhiqin dragged him to the bathroom, supervised him to wash his face again, and applied a brand of toner. After the whole process was completed, he was let back.

"Trouble." He muttered.

"Why haven't I seen you apply it before?" The implication is that if I saw it, I would throw it all away in the morning.

He thought for a while, "I don't have much to send, so I've already finished paying."

Liu Zhiqin sat on the sofa, read all the ingredients and dates on the 4 masks, and then threw them into the trash can.

He hummed, thinking that this was too simple and rude.

"Next time, don't put everything on your face." Liu Zhiqin turned to him and said, "If you want to put on a mask, I'll buy it for you."

It was quite a normal sentence at first, and he couldn't tell what was wrong when he thought about it now, but when he heard it, he fainted on the sofa with laughter.If he had to explain why, he felt that Liu Zhiqin, who told him so seriously, looked like a little daughter-in-law.

How could he need Liu Zhiqin to buy him a mask?

Once he laughed, he couldn't stop, and he didn't notice Liu Zhiqin walking over.When he found out, Liu Zhiqin was already on top of him, and his breath was near his ears and neck.

"Flower team, what are you laughing at?"

This sound was too deep and ambiguous, it went straight into his ear, and it became an electric current, which spread to all parts of the body.

"Ah—" He raised his neck and sighed comfortably.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Zhiqin said, biting his earlobe, his warm breath seemed to pour a fire on him.

His consciousness suddenly became dazed, feeling Liu Zhiqin's breath and touch, he raised his leg and hooked it to Liu Zhiqin's waist, and said the words without thinking about them, with a bit of intimacy between the two of them. In a sticky tone, "Buy me some mask, why not buy a condom..."

Their family has sufficient reserves, and there is no need to replenish them for the time being, but several of them were consumed that night.When he got up from the sofa, his face was no longer itchy, but it was redder than when it was itchy, and there were red spots on his chest and collarbone.

made.

A week later, when he was free, Liu Zhiqin took him to the mall and actually bought two boxes of facial masks at the counter. When he saw the price, he almost rolled his eyes, "You might as well buy me a mask."

There were many people in the shopping mall and it was very noisy. He spoke lightly, but Liu Zhiqin didn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked, "What?"

"No." He didn't mention buying condoms this time, if he wanted to mention it, he would have to go home again, it's shopping.

But he didn't use that box of mask much, because he got busy soon after he bought it. The criminal police, who cares about whether to use the mask or not when there is a case, he just forgot the mask after he was busy. It was before he was transferred to the special operations team at the beginning of the year. After cleaning up the house, I found the precious mask.

"Is this going to expire?" He regretted it very much, it's expensive.

Liu Zhiqin looked at it and found that it hadn't expired, but it was about to expire. According to their work intensity, it would definitely expire if they applied it casually.

"One piece for each person." He threw Liu to Qin for one piece, "Hurry up, don't take it away, just finish applying it in a few days."

After applying intensively for several days, he didn't pay attention to himself, but found that Liu Zhiqin was tender, which made him want to pinch it from time to time.

The matter of Yue Yue's facial mask reminded him that when the case is resolved this time, he will buy a few boxes of facial masks for Liu Zhiqin and supervise Liu Zhiqin's stickers every day.

After eating the instant noodles, I waited for a while, and it was almost noon before someone came to say that the boat would leave soon.

After Hua Chong boarded the boat, he went to the deck, squinting his eyes and blowing the air.After the strong winds of the past few days, today is considered to be windy and sunny, and the sun in autumn and winter seems to be basking comfortably across the water.Yue Yue also walked over, the cabin was too crowded, and there was a smell, which he was not used to.

"Flower Team, you are really stable." The boat had already sailed, and the sea was split, Yue Yue said: "I feel uncomfortable waiting all morning."

"Then we have to wait." Hua Chong smiled, "There is no such condition here, it is impossible to get us a boat alone, and we can leave whenever we want."

Yue Yue said: "Isn't this a case?"

Hua Chong said: "But for the people here, life is more important. Be calm, now is not the time to be anxious."

The sea breeze was blowing towards his face, Yue Yue almost choked, "Are you ever anxious?"

He is not the only one who is curious about this matter, Haizi and the others are all curious. Hua Chong has been here for almost a year, and he seems to have always been at ease. No matter how difficult a case is, he takes it step by step. He is simply a natural master.They were all thinking, what kind of case they encountered, the flower team would lose some composure.

"Of course." Hua Chong paused, his gaze calmed down, reflecting the sky and the waves.

He was anxious a lot, especially in the years when he returned to Los Angeles from Shacheng. In his early twenties, he thought he was omnipotent. Later, he gradually realized that no matter how powerful a person is, it is still a speck of dust.But until Liu Zhiqin appeared, he had been covering it up very well.He is the captain of the serious crime team, he can't let his team members see that he is not calm, it will make everyone anxious.

After Liu Zhiqin came, his dark emotions finally found a way out, he would expose his helplessness and bewilderment to Liu Zhiqin, this is a person who can tolerate everything about him.

But having said that, the most anxious time in recent years was also because of Liu Zhiqin.As for the confrontation between Liu Zhiqin and Lian Feng, he arrived just in the nick of time, and when he hugged Liu Zhiqin later, his heart ached so much that his internal organs twisted.

Yue Yue asked: "When?"

Hua Chong said it was the terrorist attack in Los Angeles.Yue Yue understood it as soon as he heard it.Inside the system, the terrorist attack was a case with great influence. At that time, the criminal police and special police of the special operations team went there, and they analyzed several waves when they came back.

After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the ship finally docked into the Fanglong Island Wharf.Before Hua Chong got off the boat, he smelled a special fragrance.It stands to reason that this place is facing the sea, and the fishy smell is the heaviest. It overwhelms other smells, and it is difficult to smell anything other than the fishy smell of the sea.

"What's this smell?" Yue Yue obviously smelled it too, took several breaths, felt rushed, and rubbed his nose again.

"It's the incense on the island." The local police officer in Minqian County who followed said, "Have you heard of Fang Longxiang?"

Yue Yue shook his head, "Just that kind of incense?"

This description is unavoidable, but the police officer still understood, "That is one of them, and there are also coiled ones, which are similar to mosquito coils, and Fang Longxiang has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. Fang Longxiang in our province It’s quite famous, and many people like to buy it in summer, so it’s the island’s main source of income.”

Hua Chong said: "The smell is quite special."

The policeman said: "Is it special? Maybe I'm used to smelling it, so I don't think it's special. The incense is made of spices from the island, and I don't know the details."

The passengers left one by one, and the police were the last to go down. Zhang Meng, the father of the missing girl Zhang Xun'er, wanted to go to the island again, but considering his mental state, Hua Chong refused.

Because of these two missing cases, the police from Minqian County have been on the island many times, and every family has been checked. But Hua Chong came here this time not only to find out the disappearance cases, but also to find out the two people in Fenglan City. A clue that the case of half of the female corpse may exist in Fang Longdao.

But before he had time to do this, he discovered that there were many problems in the investigation of the local police.

Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu came to the island as tourists, and the only means of transportation back and forth was a boat. They hadn't bought a return boat ticket, and the cameras at the pier hadn't caught them either.The most advanced equipment on Fanglong Island is at the pier. In addition to monitoring, there are luggage scanners. One of the cruelest situations is that they were killed and dismembered on the island, and then they were taken away in suitcases. But the scanner.

Then there is a great possibility that they will remain on the island—whether they have been killed or are still alive.

The island is not big. It is easy to find living people in such a closed environment, and it is not difficult to find dead bodies. It makes no sense that there is no breakthrough after so long.When the wind blew a few days ago, Director Lu talked about their difficulties. It was only when they arrived at Hua Chong on the island that they realized that the local police force was indeed too limited, and they were seriously inexperienced in dealing with such cases. When others say they haven't seen or don't know, they have no way to ask.The search relies on people and two police dogs. With such investment, it is normal to not find it.

But this is indeed all Minqian County can mobilize.

Hua Chong sighed, originally wanted to call Meng Qiyou and ask for some police support. This case is not difficult to solve, all that is needed is the police force.But when he thought that Team Meng was already in a state of desperation, he hesitated and put the phone back.He has already arrived here, why not familiarize himself with the whole island first, sort out the clues, and then notify Fenglan City.

After getting the list of "wild" clients, even Pei Qing joined the investigation.Liu Zhiqin paid attention to Jing Yun, the "wild" boss who went out to gather folk songs and never returned. He was also an artist, but the police didn't have much information.Jing Yun is not a native of Fenglan. "Wild" opened five years ago. At the beginning, the exhibits were all Jing Yun's works, and then gradually added the works of other designers.Jing Yun does not stay in Fenglan City most of the year, and his secretary said that he is always on the road and cannot be contacted.The last time Jing Yun returned to the "wild" was two months ago.

Liu Zhiqin tried to find traces of Jing Yun on the Internet, but Jing Yun did not seem to be on the Internet, nor did he use his mobile phone.This kind of situation has been considered missing, but the secretary and Manager Xu are used to it, saying that Mr. Jing has always been like this.

It's usually nothing, but now that "wild" and the murder case are on the list, it's hard to ignore Jing Yun's disappearance.

The client list went through from beginning to end, and several of the people Liu Zhiqin suspected most had alibi from non-surveillance videos.Judging from this list alone, none of the people who fit Hua Chong's profile had time to commit crimes.But who actually left the sawdust?The dismemberer must have semi-processed wood purchased from the "wild".

Liu Zhiqin leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

All they checked this time were people who took the wood back to do carpentry. Is this the wrong way?Or did that person get the "wild" wood from other sources?
