The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Hua Chong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Liu Zhiqin, "Look at who is this?"

Liu Zhiqin looked away, shook the milk tea in his hand, "Look at the milk tea master you were staring at just now."

Hua Chong stopped shaking his hands.

"When my boyfriend was queuing just now, his eyes weren't torn off from his body." Liu Zhiqin nodded to his chest, "I don't feel well here."

"Just pretend!" Hua Chong smiled and pushed Liu to Qin's head, and took the opportunity to rub it, "Pretentious."

Liu Zhiqin also laughed, "Are you not being hypocritical?"

Hua Chong thought that the man's hair was short, so he rubbed his hands and tied it. Next time Liu Zhiqin went to the barber shop, he had to stop him, and at least grow his hair a little longer, "Then you should be pretentious."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Are you being coaxed?"

Hua Chong said: "Liu Zhiqin, look at your age, is it suitable?"

"I think it's suitable."

"..."

The two cups of milk tea will be drained in a while, the trip is tiring, the main reason is that I was too tired on Fanglong Island before, and after sitting in a relaxing place like a milk tea shop, Hua Chong doesn't want to leave and wants to stay longer for a while.

Liu Zhiqin simply went to buy two loaves of bread, one with creamy strawberries and the other with cocoa pearls. Anyway, they are the favorites of young people these days.

The table next door patted the bread and milk tea for a long time, and they picked it up and ate it.

Today is not the weekend, but the milk tea shop is too lively, Hua Chong listened to the people chatting next to him, saying that many girls came to see the boss.The boss doesn't guard the shop much, and only stays for a few days a month.Because of its outstanding appearance and being a gentleman, as soon as he appeared in the store, fans of "Hai Shan Cha" rushed to tell everyone.

It can be said that less than half of the popularity of "Haishan Tea" is supported by the boss himself.

However, "Sea Mountain Tea" can break out from the crowd of milk tea shops, relying more on its products.

The boss is the tall man who doesn't wear a uniform, just an apron.

"I remember when I came here before, the boss was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a beer belly." Liu Zhiqin exchanged cocoa pearls and Huachong for creamy strawberries, "All the helpers in the store are from his family. relative."

Now the boss looks about 30 years old. In fact, it is possible to say that he is in his 20s based on his appearance alone. Chong felt that he might be about the same age as himself.

"Then this boss may be the son of the previous boss." Hua Chong said.

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "It should be."

When he was seated, he subconsciously looked at the man in the apron, not because Hua Chong was staring at him before, but because he and the man's eyes met when he was picking up the meal. Something strange.

He wondered where he had seen this person, and after much deliberation, Hua Chong was the only explanation.

When he came here to buy milk tea, he did meet the boss's children and the children of the boss's relatives. Some of them were older than him, and they worked as helpers in the shop in a proper manner, while some were similar to him. Sticking to the boss wants to drink milk tea and eat cake.

Some people in their class always said that it would be nice to have relatives in their own family to open a milk tea shop, and drink it for free every day.

Hua Chong finished taking care of the bread, saying that they were all here anyway, and the milk tea was too heavy to carry, but he could buy a few more long loaves of bread and pack them back for everyone to share.

Liu Zhiqin brought two wooden trays to accompany him.

In the end, the two bought a portion of all the bread in the store and put it on the bar to check out.

Because in the cultural district of Fenglan City, the surroundings are either universities or middle and high schools, and most of the customers are students.Students seldom have such a cheap one, and they buy so much at once, and if it is not for parties, there is no need.The cashier was surprised when he saw it, and quickly called the colleague next to him, whispering something.

Cheerful music was playing in the store, and the young people were very noisy, but Hua Chong could still hear it clearly, they were discussing to give him a small gift for this proud customer.

After a while, the man in the apron came over, took a small paper bag, handed it to Hua Chong with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage, this is a gift for you, I wish you a happy day."

Hua Chong didn't buy the bread for a gift, but he couldn't accept it when someone gave it to him, so he took it and said, "Thank you."

The paper bag is a bit heavy, and inside it is a box of "Haishancha" glutinous rice cakes, and a palm-sized electronic doll, which is the same as the three-meter-tall one at the entrance of the store, and is a mascot designed by "Haishancha".

The electronic doll was packed in a transparent gift box, and Hua Chong took it out to have a look, but it was not opened.

The bread looks light, but it is still heavy if you buy too much.The two were carrying a bag each, and Hua Chong was still holding the gift paper bag. At first, they wanted to take the subway back the same way, but now it was not far from the rush hour. It's nothing, it would be a pity to squeeze the soft and fluffy bread firmly.

In the end, Liu Zhiqin stopped a taxi.

Haizi went back to sleep and had a good night's sleep. When she saw a pile of colorful bread, she thought she was in a dream.

"Take whatever you want." Hua Chong didn't think so when he bought it, but when he brought it back, he realized that he had bought too much. This kind of freshly made and sold bread has a short shelf life. If you don't eat it quickly, it will be wasted. Their special operations team The six people certainly couldn't eat so much. He and Liu Zhiqin ate two in the afternoon, and they were a little tired. He had to send some to Team Meng in a while.

Haizi picked a few, and then saw the transparent box beside the table.

Hua Chong was not interested in dolls, and Liu Zhiqin was even less interested in them, and they never dismantled them.

"Haishan Tea" obviously learned from the Internet celebrity beverage shops in big cities. It not only develops milk tea, but also designs toys that represent the image of the shop. There are a lot of toys in the shop. They are cute and well-made. They are a bit expensive, but they are very popular among students. Welcome, if you buy more bread and milk tea like Hua Chong, you will get one.

"What is this?" Haizi picked up the electronic doll and asked curiously, "You two still play with this?"

Hua Chong explained.

Haizi asked: "Then you either?"

Hua Chong smiled and said, "Take it if you like."

Haizi accepted it bluntly.

Hua Chong originally planned to let everyone rest until tomorrow, to recharge their batteries, and then devote themselves to the investigation of Yi Ming and the first half female corpse case.But at night, everyone came to the city bureau, some like Haizi who had had enough sleep, and some who heard that there was bread, came to share the bread.

Xu Xiaozhou shared the most bread and said with emotion: "You are finally back."

Hua Chong nodded, knowing why he said that.

A while ago, except for him, all the special operations team went to Fanglong Island, and he was left alone in Fenglan City to deal with Yi Ming's case, which was a heavy psychological burden.

"Here, I'll give you my strawberry cream." Haizi said, "Brother Xu, you've worked hard!"

"Fuck you." Xu Xiaozhou kicked him on the chair leg, "Is that your strawberry cream?"

Haizi said without shame, "The flower team sent me off, it's mine."

Xu Xiaozhou said: "Then you give that to me."

Haizi saw that Xu Xiaozhou was referring to electronic dolls.That won't work, others can be delivered, but this one won't work.He has the habit of collecting McDonald's and KFC dolls. There are a lot of them at home, and he can't finish the set meal, so he lets Pei Qing eat them.

Xu Xiaozhou just made a joke, teasing Haizi, he doesn't care for dolls, his treasures are those cool texts in his mobile phone.

Before going to Fanglong Island, Liu Zhiqin specifically asked Xu Xiaozhou to explain the direction of the investigation: the key point is the "wild" craft shop, the murderer or the dismemberer is likely to be a "wild" customer, who bought secondary processed wood there ;

Another focus is Kang Sheng.At least at that time, Kang Sheng, as a suitor, was the most suspicious person in Yi Ming's interpersonal network. He secretly took pictures of Yi Ming at Yi Ming's home, with obscene angles, and printed hundreds of photos.During the period when Yi Ming was killed, he did not have an alibi. In addition, he "harassed" Yi Ming almost every day, but before Yi Ming's accident, this "harassment" suddenly stopped.

Another important point is the MLM case back then, which has the least connection with the case. It can be said that Yi Ming accidentally fell into the trap of MLM in her senior year. At that time, she was eager to get rid of her family. She should hate leaving her, but she couldn’t really The mother who never hated her, and before she found out that her father died because of her mother and uncle, she had always been a well-protected girl by her family. The popularity of Yi's Seafood Pot in Minqian County made her have no worries about food and clothing. When living in the school dormitory, she rented a room off-campus. Her background gave her insufficient understanding of the dangers of society, and she easily became the target of pyramid schemes.

But even though there has been no progress in the MLM line, Xu Xiaozhou dare not let it go easily, because the identity of the No. 1 victim has not been identified so far. What if the No. 1 victim also fell into the trap of the MLM?

When Hua Chong dealt with the case of Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu, he didn't completely let go of the case of half of the female corpse. He had sorted out the reasons for some of Yi Ming's actions.

Since her senior year, Yi Ming has been burdened with a heavy psychological burden. She can't sue her mother who raised her, but she can't forgive her mother either. She can only keep herself away and live on her own.

But for a long time, she lacked the ability to be independent, and her professional skills were far behind her classmates. She barely found a job, barely established herself in society like a normal person, but she knew in her heart that that was not what she wanted.

She may think that she is no different from the walking dead.She always wanted to change, but lacked the courage to change.Finally this year, she made up her mind.

Her father was a sinner to her mother, but not to her.When she was a child, her father taught her to draw, and she liked to draw. She even wanted to go to cram school in high school, and she would be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in the future.

But her mother didn't allow it. She had never seen her mother reject her request so forcefully.Later, she studied a major she didn't like, and later, she finally understood why her mother didn't allow her to learn painting.

Because my father likes to draw.

She struggles in the workplace, and the longer the time, the more meaningless she feels, and she can't see the future. Resigning means breaking the boat. Whether it's chasing her own hobbies or subconsciously revenge on her mother, she wants to regain her hobbies and use painting to Feed themselves.

She began to learn the basics, and promoted herself by drawing Q-versions of popular works on Weibo. During this time, she sent a lot of resumes to art-related companies, including Fenglan City, Silk City and the provincial capital. As long as there was a job opportunity, she would leave Fenglan City.

But her hopes failed again and again, her Q version and her past work experience were not enough for her to find a job as a painter.

Her savings gradually dwindled, and if she could no longer find a job, it would be difficult to support herself.She became anxious and had to submit her resume to a company that matched her major.

But there was a company willing to take her, but she didn't want to go - wouldn't she go back to her previous life if she went?

When she was most confused, she met Kang Sheng at the bank.She knew that Kang Sheng was pursuing her, but she never gave Kang Sheng a clear answer.

She doesn't like Kang Sheng, her words and deeds to Kang Sheng—calling Kang Sheng to come to the house, wearing pajamas to greet him, asking Kang Sheng to deliver food in the middle of the night, replying perfunctorily but not ignoring him—it can be seen that she is indeed using Kang Sheng.She may regard Kang Sheng as a bottom line. If she really can't go on the road of art, then there is still this bottom line for her.

After Kang Sheng found out his position in Yi Ming's heart, it is likely that his love will turn into hatred.His suspicion is indeed the most serious.

But there is another detail. Before Yi Ming was killed, she was reading comics at home. She left the house voluntarily. There was nothing abnormal when she left. The water and electricity at home were connected, and the garbage was not disposed of. All signs indicated that she thought she was just going out A little while, will be back soon.

Who called her out?

What appointment is she going for?

Liu Zhiqin and Xu Xiaozhou raised his eyebrows, "What's the news from 'Wild'?"

"The boss got in touch. This person is an adventure enthusiast. He would go to virgin forests, Gobi deserts, and other uninhabited lands every now and then, or he would put all his communication tools away and live in remote rural villages for several months. It is to stimulate the inspiration for creation." Xu Xiaozhou said while turning on the computer, projecting the photo of the boss Jing Yun on the screen, he is a very handsome and somewhat wild man.

Hua Chong thought of the owner of the milk tea shop for no reason.

The looks of these two people are considered to be of the highest level among ordinary people, but their temperaments are different. On the one hand, they are kind and gentle, and on the other hand, they have a sense of primitive strength.

But maybe because he came into contact with these two people suddenly in a short period of time, he subconsciously connected them together.

This distraction made Hua Chong frowned, and suddenly thought, in fact, when he was at "Hai Shan Cha" in the afternoon, he vaguely noticed a slight sense of contradiction, and he couldn't catch it, like trying to grab a loach in the stream. They ran away after a while.

Now that I see Jing Yun, I understand what is going on with that sense of contradiction.

As the owner of a "wild" craft shop, Jing Yun's temperament is suitable. It's like reaching out to stroke a length of velvet. There is no sudden protruding part in the middle, and the stroke is smooth and smooth.The man in the apron, as the boss of "Hai Shan Tea", doesn't feel this way. He is too peaceful, almost fake, and he doesn't seem so self-consistent in the bustle of that store.

Hua Chong pinched the space between his brows, thinking that he might be too tense.He has always been extremely good at observing people and has a very keen sense of smell.But it's really unreasonable to suspect the owner of a milk tea shop so suddenly.

Or it was because this series of cases was so exhausting, the mysterious man threaded the needle, threaded the wrong needle, and drew contradictory threads, so that the police were presented with complicated clues. Already difficult.

Liu Zhiqin asked: "Is the person back?"

"Not yet, in Yushizhai in the west." Xu Xiaozhou said: "I checked his background in detail here. It is true that his shop provided wood to the murderer, but it is unlikely that he himself is related to the case. His family is in the Northeast, a local wealthy businessman, he has an older brother and a younger sister, who used to participate in extreme sports, did not go to university, and have half-severed ties with the family."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Where did he get the money to run 'Wild'?"

This store burns money, and the adventure burns even more.

"He speculates in stocks and funds." Xu Xiaozhou said: "But he didn't speculate by himself. He hired someone to take care of it. And it was his parents who severed ties with him. His brother often supported him."

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "Whether it's an adventure in no-man's land, or giving up communication equipment and living in a remote village, these are actually his own claims, can you verify them?"

"This..." Xu Xiaozhou said: "There are big traffic evidence such as air tickets."

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "Not enough, he can come back in other ways."

Xu Xiaozhou said: "But..."

"Wait a minute." Hua Chong interrupted suddenly, looking at Liu Zhiqin, "Your state is not right."

Liu Zhiqin was stunned for a moment, and other people in the office also looked over.

"It's not just you, I'm wrong too. We've been caught by clues." Hua Chong took a deep breath and stood up, "There are two half-body cases, the first one has no clues, and the second one has clues, but we haven't found a breakthrough yet. , the two most motivated people, Han Jiong has a clear alibi, Kang Sheng firmly denies it, and with the disappearance case on Fanglong Island, the shadow of the mysterious man is everywhere, so we may have fallen into an extreme."

Liu Zhiqin frowned and thought for a while, "You mean, I'm on the edge of a dead end?"

Hua Chong nodded, "I am the same. My emotional tension makes me look suspicious, and because I value this kind of experience, or feeling, I insist on digging in, but try to jump out and look again. The suspicion just now has a basis. Is it?"

Liu Zhiqin subconsciously said: "Of course..."

But before he finished speaking, he stopped himself.

It was absolutely reasonable to suspect Jing Yun at the beginning. The most critical clue in the Yi Ming case was the sawdust on the cross-section of the corpse. Haizi and Pei Qing found the "wild" craft museum based on the sawdust. Whether it is the same person, at least the dismemberer has a connection with "wild".

At that time, Jing Yun was nowhere to be found, and there were many doubts.

Now that Xu Xiaozhou has found out Jing Yun's background, and Yi Ming's growth environment is also clear at a glance, Jing Yun really has no motive to kill Yi Ming.

After trying to understand this, Liu Zhiqin quickly calmed down, "Okay, I'll make some adjustments, and Xiao Zhou will continue."

"Team Meng and I led people to verify customers. The group of people we focused on initially, such as carpenters, had no doubts, but later we got another clue that there are many painters who use this kind of wood." Xu Xiaozhou said: "Their demand is very small. They bought processed wood and made it into picture frames, and some of them were collected and purchased together. We haven't verified these people, so you came back. Doesn't Yi Ming like painting? I think they have been connected gone."
