The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The Aijia mobile phone repair shop on Cocoon Street was closed for a period of time in September this year, and opened again in early October. The business is tepid, but because there is one less person, the boss is a bit busy. Recently, he posted on the glass door There was an ad for a skilled hand.

"My computer was fine when it was turned off last night, but it's just like this today. I can't see anything. My work files are still in it. I'm so anxious!"

A man dressed as a white-collar worker anxiously pushed the door open and slapped his dark gray computer bag on the table, "Brother Ai, you have to fix it for me, or I'm doomed, I don't have time to redo those files at all!"

The man named Ai Ge is in his 30s, wearing a dark brown jacket, light velvet trousers underneath, and cotton slippers on his feet. He is the boss here, and his name is Ai Yi. There are all kinds of boxes, and there is a bed in the innermost part. A curtain covers the bed when it is open, and it is closed at night. Once the curtain is opened, this is considered a bedroom.

It's not easy to start a small business these days. Ai Yi's registered permanent residence is not in Fenglan City, so he can't afford a house.In the past, this store was opened together with my brother Ai Zhong. The two brothers rented an old house nearby and shared the room and food expenses.

Now that Ai Zhong is quitting and farming in the countryside, Ai Yi simply gave up the old house. A bed can be regarded as a home. He can eat, drink and eat in the house, and he can guard the shop at night, which saves time and money.

"Oh, don't take pictures." Taking the computer bag from the anxious man, Ai Yi smiled, "Is this how you treat your computer? If it's not bad, I have to shoot it for you."

"Am I not in a hurry?" The man finished talking and went to the water dispenser next to the wall to get a glass of water to drink. It seemed that he was a regular customer here.

After drinking the water, the man looked around, "Is Xiao Ai not there?"

Ai Yi has already started to check the computer. Hearing this, he paused his hands and looked up at the man, "You don't know?"

The man was puzzled, "What do I know?"

Ai Yi pouted at the job posting at the door, "Aren't I recruiting people? My brother doesn't want to stay in the city anymore, he has to go back to farm."

"What kind of land does he have to cultivate with his craftsmanship?" The man felt a little regretful, "I came to repair the phone twice, and he fixed it for me."

"Really." Ai Yi said while continuing to check, "What's the use of craftsmanship, it's hard work to pay."

These words hit the man's pain point, "Who says it's not? Don't talk about you, it's just me. It looks pretty glamorous, right? But my life is not as good as that of my dog ​​every day. Once the computer is finished, I will be ashamed." It's over, I worked desperately for the boss, once I paid the mortgage and car loan, I left one month's living expenses and dog food expenses, and there was nothing left. Sigh, can my computer be repaired?"

"The main board is burnt out, and the main board needs to be replaced, which costs 800 yuan." Ai Yi said.

The man stared at his eyes as big as copper bells, "Dude, are you cannibal?"

Hearing this, Ai Yi stopped moving, "Okay, then go to another store and ask if the motherboard replacement for this kind of notebook can be cheaper than 800."

The man was resentful, as if he was imagining his life of saving food and clothing for this month, and finally gritted his teeth, "800 is 800, then can the data in me be recovered?"

Ai Yi said, "Yes, all of them can be transferred out."

A stone fell from the man's heart, he wiped off his sweat, took a breath, and began to talk more, "By the way, why did you close the shop a while ago? The business was so good in September, the students started school, and the mobile phone and computer broke down for a while." Bo, if I were you, I would open the store and count as many as I can kill, and the students’ money would be better earned.”

Ai Yi's forehead tensed slightly, but because he was lowering his head and fiddling with the computer, the other party couldn't see the slight change in his expression.

"You're wrong. It's not easy to make money from students." Ai Yi said: "Those rich students, if their computers are broken, their mobile phones and tablets are broken, they just throw them away and buy new ones, and they can still send them over like you did." Maintenance?"

The man snorted, "What are you talking about?"

"Those poor students are poor themselves and their families are not well-off. If something breaks, they can only repair it. They are hesitant to pay tens of hundreds of dollars." Ai Yi continued: "They work part-time and study, and they work two or three jobs a day. The time spent sleeping and studying is used to make money, this kind of child, you have the nerve to beat others?"

The man touched the back of his head, "That's the reason."

The store was quiet for a while, only the sound of Ai Yi dismantling the computer and replacing the motherboard was heard.

But the man couldn't stop talking, and he said after a while, "Did you interrupt just now? Why didn't you answer my question?"

Ai Yi frowned and said nothing.

"Why did you close the store?" The man said, "I have a tablet to be repaired, and I came to see it, and it was closed."

Ai Yi sighed, "Something happened at home in the country, so I have to go back."

The man said: "The old man in the family is sick?"

Ai Yi said, "That's right."

"Then I understand Xiao Ai. Both of you brothers are working hard in the city, and there is no one to take care of you at home. It's kind of like that." The man said to himself, "Oh, it's all difficult."

Afterwards, Ai Yi stopped breaking up with the man.He quickly replaced the motherboard, turned it on, debugged it, confirmed that the documents and materials were still there, collected the money, and sent the beaming man outside the door, smoking a cigarette outside by the way.

The shop he rented was located in a commercial area called Guanyonghui, which was adjacent to Guanyong Community. Although it was a commercial area, it was doing business with nearby residents, and the rent was much cheaper than the office building business district opposite.

The rent is cheap, there are many top-notch schools, and the supporting facilities are poor. A mobile phone repair shop like his is considered a serious business. The neighbors are almost all unlicensed restaurants, massage parlors, and love hotels. There are many shops that look like they are. , but I have hardly seen it, and I don't know what is inside.

A while ago, the owner of a barbecue restaurant downstairs beat someone up, but because there was no surveillance, he couldn’t let it go. Later, the customer couldn’t take it anymore and called the TV station.

It can be seen that the security and monitoring system here is really not very good.

And Guan Yonghui also has a very "unique" place-it has a big problem with its structure. Some shops do not have a closed ceiling, which means that a balcony is exposed outside. People in the shops above can see the shops below when they stretch their heads. Case.

From the inside of Ai Yi's store, you can see the yard of the store below.

It's just that the store hasn't opened for a long time.

Before Ai Yi finished half a cigarette, he heard movement from down the corridor. In broad daylight, someone was fighting again. From his point of view, someone had already raised a machete.

He couldn't help frowning, thinking that this area is getting more and more chaotic now, and he doesn't know if someone will come to him to collect protection money after a while.

He was unwilling to pay protection fees, but he couldn't afford to offend those people.Let's fight, you can fight, but if you go to the police station, it will be even more troublesome.

He is most afraid of dealing with the police now.Ai Zhong was more afraid than him, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding in the countryside.

Looks like it's time to move out.

The rent has been paid for three years, and it will be due in January next year. It is not much difference whether to move now or later.But whether to move or not, he is still hesitating.

Let’s move, the mobile phone repair business is a regular customer business, people come to you for repairs once, think you are good, they will repair the second and third times, and will introduce relatives and friends to repair.Changing the location is tantamount to re-laying the net, and you have to grab people's business.Now which residential area does not have one or two mobile phone repair shops? He is about to move, and it is hard to say how the business will be.

If you don't move, you will have to continue paying rent for three years.If you stay here for another three years, something will happen.

The noise downstairs was even louder. Someone was hacked, and the smell of blood floated up. He could smell it on the second floor.

The familiar smell instantly distorted his facial features. He didn't continue to smoke the half of the cigarette, but pressed it on the railing and went back to the store.

After doing a big business of 800 yuan, there have been no other customers in the store.Ai Yi sat behind the computer in a daze for a long time, opened the curtain, turned out from the window beside the bed, and stood on the platform to look at the yard downstairs.

There was nothing in the yard, and nothing on his deck.

However, a few months ago, both the yard and the platform were full of debris.In his spare time, Ai Zhong likes to play with machinery, and often collects some waste products and makes some weird creations.

He thought that Ai Zhong's doing these things in the store would affect the business, so Ai Zhong went to the platform to do it, some brought back the old rented house, and some were not finished for a while, so he threw it on the platform.

Now those things are gone.

When Ai Yi looked down, his eyes were a little empty.After a long time, he squeezed hard on his arm.

There was a burst of shouting outside, and the phrase "the police are coming" could be vaguely heard.

The word "police" made Ai Yi nervous, but when he thought that someone was beheaded downstairs, someone must have called the police, and the police were here to solve the beheading, so he calmed down and turned back into the store through the window.

However, to his surprise, the police came down below, and the police also came to his shop on the second floor.Their attire was different from that of the police at the police station, and the leader didn't even wear a police uniform.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and his voice trembled, "You, who are you looking for?"

In the recovered video, the faces of the two corpse throwers were clearly photographed.Hua Chong immediately asked Meng Qiyou to send the images to the police stations of each sub-bureau, and soon got feedback from the Cocoon Street Police Station that the people on the screen were two brothers, the older one was called Ai Yi, the younger one was called Ai Zhong, and they opened a mobile phone repair shop in Guanyonghui. The store has been in business for three years. They are two very honest brothers. Their hometown is Jiubian Village below Fenglan City.

Hua Chong glanced at the furnishings in the store, then looked at Ai Yi.This is a man with an ordinary face, his clothes are very old, and a pair of pink cotton slippers make him look a little funny.

"Ai Yi." Hua Chong shouted.

Ai Yi's eyes dodged, and when they looked at each other briefly, they showed obvious fear.Ordinary people are suddenly approached by the police, and their expressions are not relaxed, but Ai Yi's reaction is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary people.

That was the suspect's reaction when he finally had to face the police.

"Where's your brother?" Hua Chong said.

Ai Yi lowered his head, his lips twitched, and raised his head after a while, his face turned pale, and he didn't answer Hua Chong's question, "What can you do for me?"

"You seem to already know why we are here." Hua Chong looked straight into his eyes and said coldly, "Where is Ai Zhong?"

Ai Yi clenched his fists, "He went back to the countryside."

Hua Chong didn't seem surprised, "Then please follow me back to the Municipal Bureau first."

Two criminal policemen stepped forward, ready to arrest Ai Yi.

Ai Yi has a strong body, but when the other person approached, he suddenly knocked him away, then turned into the workbench behind the computer, and pulled out a machete from the cabinet.

Machetes are controlled knives in the city, but they are not uncommon on Cocoon Street. There are often gangsters who fight with each other and wield the machete, which is extremely lethal.

The muscles on Ai Yi's face trembled, he stared fiercely at the two criminal policemen, paused for a second, and slashed forward.

The detective backed away quickly, feeling a little dazed for a while.They had never seen such a formation before, and immediately panicked.

The shop was small, but the machete was long. Ai Yi's eyes were red, as if he wanted to die with others, and he didn't have any strength left. The knife swung chaotically, but it was full of strength.

For a while, the shop was in chaos.Seeing that Ai Yi withdrew to the door with his back against the glass door and was about to escape, Hua Chong stepped forward calmly.

At this time, Ai Yi must not be allowed to escape. The follow-up police will definitely be able to catch him, but he is now carrying a machete. If he goes out and swings the knife, there is a high probability that he will hurt innocent people. It is more likely that Ai Yi will take hostages and force the police to release him. a way out.

Ai Yi raised his knife and slashed at Hua Chong. Hua Chong seemed to be hit, but suddenly he dodged, stabbing Ai Yi's throat with his right hand, and at the same time raised his knee and hit Ai Yi's wrist. Ai Yi had no chance to dodge. The size was in chaos, he was hit on the neck, almost fainted, his wrist was shaken by the knee, the machete suddenly couldn't hold it, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Hua Chong strangled his arms and kicked the machete away.A criminal police immediately picked up the machete.

It wasn't until then that the criminal policeman with a gun pointed his pistol at Ai Yi.

The Municipal Bureau has extremely strict control over firearms. Not every criminal policeman who goes out to work will carry a gun. Over time, the criminal policemen become less and less proficient in the use of guns, and the speed of firing guns is very slow.Hua Chong is qualified to carry a gun without applying. In fact, he does have a pistol on his waist, but this is a mixed residential and commercial area with a lot of traffic. The gunfire will inevitably cause panic.So when he had to make a decision immediately, he chose to deal with Ai Yi with his bare hands.

The strong man trembled violently under his restraint, panting like a cow.

"Put the gun away." His voice was the same as before, just as solemn and calm, "Cuff it and take it back."

This was said to the criminal policeman who was aiming at the gun. The other party was in a cold sweat because of the slowness of the gun. The knife almost slashed through Hua Chong’s shoulder just now. .

"Come on, come on." He put away the gun, his palms covered with cold sweat.

Hua Chong noticed the nervousness of the policeman and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay."

Ai Yi was sent into the police car, and Haizi came up to do on-site investigation.Hua Chong looked at the camera in the corner, and wanted Haizi to take all the electronic equipment back, but after thinking about it, he thought it was unnecessary, there are too many electronic equipment here, why not let Liu Zhiqin come over directly.

When the lights in the interrogation room were turned on, Ai Yi hunched over.

"What does the water park case have to do with you?" Hua Chong fiddled with a tablet without looking at Ai Yi.

Ai Yi didn't cry when he saw the coffin, "I'm a mobile phone repairer, and I'll do business honestly. Don't wrong me."

"Doing business honestly, there is a machete hidden in the cabinet? Kill the policeman without saying a few words?" Hua Chong said, "You are really 'honest' in doing business."

Ai Yi was obviously not a person who was good at dealing with the police, and when Hua Chong stopped him with a few words, he fell silent.

At this time, there was a small sound from the tablet in Hua Chong's hand. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water being stirred.

Ai Yi's masseter muscle suddenly tensed on his cheek.

"Did you hear it?" Hua Chong turned the tablet and faced Ai Yi, "What else do you have to say?"

What was playing on the tablet was the monitoring of Ai Yi and Ai Zhong putting the dead body into the Sphinx. During the evacuation, Ai Zhong even glanced at the camera.

Ai Yi opened his mouth, the muscles on his face were extremely stiff.It seems that he didn't expect the police to get this video, and it seems that he has been mentally prepared for a long time.

Hua Chong captured every trace of his expression, and vaguely felt that his fear was mixed with a little anger—the kind of anger that was deceived.

"I heard that in September this year, you and Ai Zhong closed the store for a period of time. Did you go back to your hometown to avoid the limelight? In October, you felt that the limelight had passed, so you came back?" Hua Chong said: "Who is the victim? Why did you kill her?"

Ai Yi lowered his head slowly, and put his face on the table.

From Hua Chong's point of view, his shoulders kept twitching, as if he was crying, but no tears flowed from his eyes.

Hua Chong narrowed his eyes, "Who ordered you?"

"We didn't do it on purpose." Ai Yi said softly, "We really didn't mean to kill people...it wasn't our fault, why should we take the responsibility?"

When Liu Zhiqin came to Ai Dajia's mobile phone repair shop, he didn't see Hai Zi, and only after asking the criminal police guarding the shop, did he know that Hai Zi had gone "below".

Liu Zhiqin didn't understand what "below" meant at first, so he was taken to the platform outside the window and found that he could see the yard of the shop below.

Haizi is right there.

A retractable staircase is built between the platform and the "balcony".

Liu Zhiqin squatted down and whistled.

Haizi raised his head, his brows tightened, and he saw the person clearly before he said, "I found something."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Say."

Haizi pointed around, "This is probably the scene of a murder."

Liu Zhiqin's eyes sank, he went down the stairs, and looked inside, it was dark, dirty, and the roof was covered with cobwebs.

And before he came, he passed by the first floor. If I remember correctly, this room is also a shop called Xiaochen Groceries.

"When I stood on the top and looked down, I felt a little strange. This doesn't look like a place where people live, and the platform above is too clean. Usually, isn't this kind of platform piled with a lot of things?" Haizi said: "I asked the management here, and they said that the store was rented out at the beginning of the year. It was open for a while, but it may have been closed because of poor business. The owner is a woman. I don't know where she went. I borrowed a Look down the ladder, and if no one lives there, it's a perfect crime scene. They can't dismember bodies in their shop, but here they can."

Liu Zhi asked, "Have you done the blood test?"

"It's done. There is a large area of ​​blood." Said, Haizi stepped on the ground, "It's here."
