The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Relying on the old Internet company, "Fusheng" has made a lot of money by taking advantage of the rapid development of online video in recent years. It moved to a new office building the year before last. The whole building is like a sword piercing into the sky, shining silver in the sun. flashing.

Although the title of "director" sounds very loud, Shi Limiao is just a small screw in "Floating Life".When the sad news of her being killed during the trip came back, "Fusheng" was only surprised for a day.A day later, it's business as usual.People are busy planning, running from studio to studio, dealing with demanding bosses, and snatching coveted resources from colleagues... No one has the energy to mourn a lost cog.

Liu Zhiqin stood in the stairwell on the first floor.It is not the rush hour for commuting at this time, but the men and women who come and go are still in a hurry, constantly looking at their watches, with anxious expressions on their faces, lest their important work will be delayed by waiting for the elevator for tens of seconds.

For the sake of investigation, Liu Zhiqin has been to countless office buildings, and many white-collar workers like to chat a few words while waiting for the elevator, especially when a colleague or a stranger in the same building is killed, their topics must revolve around this man. victim.

But from waiting for the elevator, to entering the elevator, and then to the 16th floor displayed, Liu Zhiqin didn't hear a single person mention Shi Limiao.

This woman who has worked here for 7 years seems to have become a thing of the past in an instant.

Liu Zhiqin stepped out of the elevator, and the door quickly closed.

Even the elevators are urging people to their respective posts.

It's not that the employees of "Fusheng" are cold-blooded, it's just that they live in an atmosphere of extreme pressure for a long time, and work can easily become an existence that overrides everything else.

Who doesn't want to make a lot of money easily?Life is not up to people.

Liu Zhiqin stopped at the door of a semi-circular large office, and someone came to greet him immediately. When he saw the ID he presented, his expression froze, "Didn't you come to investigate a long time ago?"

Liu Zhiqin had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, giving people a sense of oppression that was elusive for no reason, "We may come back at any time before the case is solved, I hope everyone understands."

When he said this, Liu Zhiqin Yuguang swept inside.Hearing the movement at the door, many people looked up at him, but he saw only one person, Du Ran.

He had never met Du Ran, only the photos.The photo was taken 2 years ago, when Du Ran was transferred to Shi Limiao's team.It stands to reason that she was younger 2 years ago, but now she is radiant, which makes people have to think of a sentence-people are happy when they are happy.

The moment he looked at Liu Zhiqin, Du Ran froze suddenly, then quickly lowered his head.

"Please call Du Ran." Liu Zhiqin said to the person in front of him.

There was no window in the small room in the corner, and when the light was turned on, the surrounding walls were illuminated palely.

There are many lounges and conference rooms on the 16th floor that are suitable for conversations, but Du Ran chose this one.

Liu Zhiqin thought about it for a while, and thought it was probably because those rooms had translucent glass walls, and Du Ran didn't want to be spied on from the outside.

Such a nearly closed space made her feel safe.

"I've said everything I can say." Du Ran didn't look at Liu Zhiqin, Wen frowned from time to time, as if uneasy, "Is there any question?"

"I've seen your work history. You used to be the assistant director of Variety Show III." Liu Zhiqin spoke slowly, and kept observing Du Ran's reaction while speaking, "People who leave this position usually take charge of a project alone , such as the person in charge of a certain part of any variety show. But you were transferred to a chore position, and then became a member of Shi Limiao's team."

From the lines of Du Ran's face, it could be seen that she was clenching her back molars tightly, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightened even more.

Liu Zhiqin said: "After you, Shi Limiao became the assistant director of the third part of the variety show, and later had his own team. I'm curious, what happened to you at that time?"

Du Ran suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, it was a look of eagerness to prove herself after being suppressed for a long time, "I also have my own team now, the third season of 'Guessing Heart Channel' is about to air, we He is one of the directors! Shi..."

She stopped suddenly, and her tone was so urgent that her chest heaved several times before she calmed down.

Liu Zhiqin: "What are you doing?"

Du Ran smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing."

"You want to say that you are now the director of the new season of 'Guessing Heart Channel', and Shi Limiao is no longer your opponent, right?" Liu Zhiqin said tactfully, his eyes were not so compelling, What Du Ran really wanted to say just now was probably that Shi Limiao was dead.

When looking at the investigation records in the special operations team last night, he only felt that Du Ran hesitated to say something about Shi Limiao's death many times, as if he wanted to say something because Shi Limiao had already been killed, so he couldn't say much.

But when they were face to face, he noticed that Du Ran's eyes were filled with ecstasy and triumph.

This hatred can no longer be concealed.

Du Ran realized something, and her expression became tense, "Mr. Police, you don't think Shi Limiao's death is related to me, do you?"

"That's not true." The special operations team had checked Du Ran's whereabouts. Before and after Shi Limiao was killed, Du Ran had been staying in the capital.

In this kind of case, the possibility of false hands is very low.

Hearing this, Du Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Zhiqin said: "But you seem very dissatisfied with Shi Limiao? Has she done anything that affects you?"

Du Ran stared at the corner of the table, hesitated for a while, "No, I don't know her well, she's just a colleague."

"Let me make a bold guess." Liu Zhiqin overlapped his fingertips, and the exposed part of the wrist bone protruded just right, "You have wanted to be the director of 'Guessing Heart Channel' for a long time. For two seasons, your name should also be on the director's column."

These words were like adding a few sticks of firewood to the water that hadn't boiled yet, and Du Ran's shoulders tensed all of a sudden.

She looked at Liu Zhiqin defensively, pursed her lips several times, and her desire to talk grew stronger.

Liu Zhiqin struck while the iron was hot, "Shi Limiao took the position of assistant director from you?"

The straw fell gently and fell on the camel.

After a moment of silence, Du Ran actually laughed "haha", out of control.

"I'm very happy." When she finally stopped laughing, she pushed back the hair she had just permed, "Knowing that bitch is dead is the happiest day I've had in years! I am happier! I am happier than I finally have my own team!"

From Liu to Qin Muran.At this moment, the fuse had already been lit, and Du Ran would tell what he wanted to know without his further guidance.

"She deserves it!" Du Ran gritted her teeth, "It's strange that a person like her won't get retribution! I've known for a long time, I've known for a long time that she will have retribution!"

The bits and pieces of the past are connected together through Du Ran's abuse and intermittent memories.

Du Ran graduated from a not-so-famous university in the south, with an ordinary family background, drifting north to pursue her dreams, and relying on hard work to climb up the "floating life" step by step, and finally became the assistant director of the third variety show department at the age of 30.

This position is the last experience before taking charge of one's own work. In "Floating Life", all those who have been assistant directors have become project leaders.

Du Ran is full of ambition, and actively plans new projects while doing her job well.At that time, the "Guessing Heart Channel" had not yet taken shape, and the upper management hoped to launch a suspense variety show in the next two years. Whoever had an outstanding plan would hand over the project to whoever did it.

There are already voices in the department that Du Ran is likely to win this show, because she will "graduate" from the position of director assistant in a short time.

But at this juncture, disaster struck.The promotional copy she was in charge of made a mistake, and what was even more serious was that it involved a popular star.The star's team believed that the copywriting had an extremely bad impact on the artist's image, and asked the "Fusheng" side to give an explanation.

Du Ran became the one who was pushed out to appease the celebrity.

She was no longer an assistant to the director, and was thrown into the chore post, doing endlessly boring docking work.

She was very sure that there was nothing wrong with the original copy, and someone had tampered with the copy after the final review.But she doesn't know who the other party is, and her co-workers are unwilling to help her.

She thought back on her years in "Fusheng", and she was sure that she had never offended anyone, let alone bullied anyone with her own ability, so she was suppressed because she blocked someone's way!

who is it?

She stared at the position of assistant director until she saw that Shi Limiao became the new assistant director.

Suddenly, she understood everything.

Shi Limiao came to "Fusheng" later than her. She took Shi Limiao and taught her experience unreservedly, so that Shi Limiao's style has many similarities with hers.

But they also have differences, for example, Shi Limiao is more beautiful than her, and better than her to seduce men.

"The copywriting error is just a play." Du Ran smiled wryly, "Shi Limiao got next to Chen Yuhao, the vice president of the Variety Show Business Department, and relied on his body to buy his future."

After bowing her head in silence for a while, Du Ran said again: "You know, no one in our industry doesn't want to climb up. There is no difference between relying on body and ability. If I am good-looking, I might also..."

Liu Zhiqin frowned slightly.

Du Ran shook her head, "Who is next to her has nothing to do with me. What I hate is that at that time, Mr. Chen overshadowed the sky. He could transfer her to a position where she could easily get ahead, or directly give her a team, but in order to appear that she relied on If you have a high level of strength, you must be the assistant director of the third part of the variety show. You must...squeeze me out."

Tears flashed in Du Ran's eyes, and she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, "I'm her stumbling block, why do you think her heart is so poisonous? She didn't give me a way out. She was killed by someone. Not surprised at all, do you know why? Because those who don’t leave others a way to live also cut off their own way of life. I’m not ruthless enough, but someone must be ruthless enough. I thought it was God’s punishment for Mr. Chen’s dismissal, haha Haha, I didn't expect death to be."

Du Ran laughed as if no one was there, her eyes were crazy and soft, "Shi Limiao, Shi Limiao, how many people have you harmed? You deserve it!"

In the second half of last year, Chen Yuhao was involved in a huge financial case, no longer served as the vice president of the "Fusheng" variety show business department, and was jailed. This news was reported by many media last year.

It was also from then on that Shi Limiao's position on "Guessing Heart Channel" became precarious. Even if she was not killed, this season will be her swan song on "Guessing Heart Channel".

Du Ran said with a smile: "Everyone in the company knows that she is Mr. Chen's mistress. If you don't believe me, you can ask now. I thought that after Mr. Chen went in, she would find other bosses to join her. Now it seems that no one is willing." Pick up Mr. Chen's broken shoes."

Du Ran's statement was confirmed in the middle-level mouths of the "Floating Life" section, and once someone spoke, more people were willing to speak.Liu Zhiqin stayed in "Floating Life" for most of the day, and the information he got was quite different from the preliminary investigation.

Shi Limiao has changed from an outstanding professional woman to a slut who "sleeps in the top position" in the words of her colleagues. Not only does she not get along with the vice president, but she also hooks up with many celebrities and amateurs on the "Guessing Heart Channel".

There is, however, no evidence for the latter.

"In this way, the murderer has more motives." Hua Chong held the phone that was a little hot, "We have to dig out Shi Limiao's adult experience before we can correspond to each of them."

Night had already fallen, and Liu Zhiqin was standing on the balcony of the Special Operations Team blowing the wind.

Los Angeles City Council also has such a terrace.He and Hua Chong often stood by the railing of the terrace, discussing clues while blowing the air.When the wind was strong, the cigarettes were not easy to light, so he helped Hua Chong gather them with his hands, and then borrowed fire from Hua Chong's cigarettes.

"Judging from the time when the murder occurred, most of the employees of 'Fusheng' had no possibility of committing the crime." Liu Zhiqin supported the railing, "But this needs to be verified, and we can't draw a complete conclusion yet."

Hua Chong asked: "Apart from Du Ran, is there anyone else in the capital who is more suspicious?"

A man, Lu Ge, appeared in Liu Zhiqin's mind.

When he first took over the case, Haizi had popularized science with everyone, saying that Lu Ge was the most popular director on "Guessing Heart Channel", and was called a male god by fans.

Today Liu Zhiqin met Luge in "Fusheng". The first impression of this male god is that he is gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament.

Because of urgent work, the inquiry was postponed. In the exchange of a few words, Liu Zhiqin found that he was different from many of Shi Limiao's colleagues.

He seemed to be genuinely sad for Shi Limiao.

Hua Chong's voice came from the listening hole, "Huh?"

Liu Zhiqin regained his senses, "Not yet, I'll go to 'Fusheng' tomorrow. What about you? How's the investigation going?"

Hua Chong is currently in Shi Limiao's hometown, Baiyuan Town.

Like Qishu Town, Baiyuan Town is also a small backward place. The distance between the two places is not far, but due to the inconvenient transportation and the large difference in altitude, people seldom walk around each other, and the customs are very different. .

But as soon as Hua Chong arrived, he found similarities between the two places.

They all have flakes of rapeseed.

The altitude of Baiyuan Town is low, and the blooming period of rape blossoms has passed, which is not as lively as the rape blossoms in Qishu Town.

Years of experience made Hua Chong suddenly vigilant.

Is it just a coincidence that I was born in a small town full of rapeseed flowers and finally died in a small town full of rapeseed flowers?

What did the murderer want to express with the rape flower?
