The Book of Death by Heart Poison

"Oh! I can't remember what she looks like. I just remember that she is dark, not very good-looking, and her accent is not like ours." Mrs. Liang recalled: "Every time I saw her, she pulled a The small car is the kind of car that buys vegetables, you know?"

Seeing that Mrs. Liang wanted to gesture, Hua Chong nodded, "Yes, you can continue."

"She is very enthusiastic. Once I took too many things, she came out of the vegetable market with me and helped me carry them all the way." Mrs. Liang said: "In fact, she also took a lot by herself. I Afraid that she would not be able to carry it, she said it was okay, she was used to it, and she usually does this kind of work. Hearing what she said, I thought she was a nanny. But when I asked, she said no. I saw her go I went to the courtyard of Kuang’s house and asked her where she lived? She said yes, she lived at a relative’s house. Later, I met her a few times, but they just said hello and didn’t talk about anything else.”

Hua Chong said: "Then do you remember when was the last time you saw her?"

Mrs. Liang thought for a long time, then shook her head, "Oh, it must have been several years, right? I asked the kid from the Kuang family why I didn't see your aunt? The kid said she left. We old ladies Sometimes, just out of curiosity, I asked her where she had gone. The child never said anything. Am I not asking for trouble? I didn’t ask her where she went afterward.”

Anjiang Municipal Bureau, the floor where the serious crime team is located, every office is lit.

"If Mrs. Liang remembers correctly, then Kang Qing did live in Kuang Ming's house for a period of time." Hua Chong sat down and threw a notepad on the table, "Captain Zhao, did you find anything?"

More than two years ago, Kuang Ming bought a house with two bedrooms and one living room on Dianjia Street, and moved there with Kuang Shan.Kuangshan didn't live for long, and lived in the dormitory of the school most of the time. Kuangming almost lived alone, and he lived there all the time before he was killed.

Not long after the case happened, the local police rushed to investigate this house and found strange footprints outside Kuangming and Kuangshan.It was verified that the footprints belonged to two girls from massage parlors, who were brought to the home by Kuang Ming on November 11 and December 24 to provide special services. They both had transactions with Kuang Ming more than once, but they had no emotional connection. , the possibility of involvement is low.

After the clue of Kang Qing appeared, Zhao Ying led someone there again, hoping to find clues about this person.

"There are a few women's items in the room, but after our verification, none of them belong to Kang Qing." Zhao Ying sighed, "I asked Kuang Shan to find out about the situation, and he said that Kuang Ming had destroyed everything belonging to Kang Qing as early as when the corpse was being disposed of. gone."

Hua Chong nodded, and Kuang Shan had expressed the same meaning to him.

The current situation is more daunting.Kuang Ming had killed someone, and this person was bought by Kuang Ming through some illegal means, this is undoubtedly a crucial clue.But there is almost no physical evidence to support this clue, and Kang Qing's identity is also difficult to confirm.

A bone buried in the yard, as long as one has the heart, can actually fabricate a lie that is quite different from the truth.

Kuang Shan was the son of the victim, Kuang Ming, but Hua Chong could not completely believe in Kuang Shan based on just one description.

As for who the bone is and what the cause of death is, at this stage, it can determine the direction of investigation by the local police and special operations team from some aspects.

At this time, Pei Qing finished the autopsy on the skeleton and pushed open the door of the conference room.

"The DNA comparison can't be released for the time being. I don't think there is a way to determine the identity through the comparison." Pei Qing said: "Just talk about what I saw from the bones. The deceased was a female, 1 meters tall, and the age of death was between 61 and Between the ages of 25. I found a sharp stabbing mark on her ribs, which is not consistent with what Kuang Shan said."

As she said that, Pei Qing showed the detailed picture and gestured to her right chest.

"Kang Shan said that Kang Qing was tortured to death by Kuang Ming." Hua Chong said, "But the real cause of Kang Qing's death was that a sharp instrument pierced her internal organs?"

Pei Qing nodded, "Otherwise there wouldn't be such marks on the ribs."

"The kitchen and the second-floor building next to it have been redecorated, and I didn't find a large area of ​​blood in the second-floor building." Haizi said: "This kind of injury will spur out a lot of blood, but after the renovation, the blood will be counted. It was completely wiped out."

Hua Chong looked at Zhao Ying again, "Captain Zhao, the last time you met those two women who were called to the house by Kuang Ming, did they mention Kuang Ming's hobbies?"

Zhao Ying said: "I asked, and they thought my question was funny."

Hua Chong frowned, "Funny?"

"I think it's disrespectful for the police to ask such questions." Zhao Ying shrugged, "But don't you have to ask? They said that Kuangming's needs are normal, and the money they give is also normal."

Hua Chong said: "Then he is not a person who likes to torture women's bodies."

Pei Qing said, "It's possible that Kuang Shan is lying?"

"But I can't think of his purpose for telling such a lie." Hua Chong said: "He gave us the clue of Kang Qing. If he didn't tell us, we wouldn't even know that there was a dead body in the yard. At least in a short period of time." , we won’t dig the yard. If Kuang Shan wanted to hide something, he wouldn’t have to mention Kang Qing from the very beginning.”

Zhao Ying looked serious, "Flower Team, how should we use this clue?"

Hua Chong saw Zhao Ying's doubts, "Do you think this clue may lead the follow-up investigation to a wrong path?"

Zhao Ying nodded, "Because I don't see any connection between it and the previous two cases."

Hua Chong thought for a while, "Then let's get back to the three cases and continue digging into the lives of the two victims. In fact, I discussed a possibility with Liu Zhiqin yesterday—their murders may be related to food safety." , but Kang Qing came here suddenly today, and the rhythm was a bit disrupted. Team Zhao, since you believe that these three cases are serial murders, then investigate in this direction, and consider Kang Qing's line during the investigation. "

Zhao Ying frowned tightly, "I'm worried that if it's not serial..."

"That's why we're here." Hua Chong smiled, easing the tense atmosphere at this moment, "I'll pick up what you've missed actively and passively. Don't worry about the future."

Zhao Ying looked at the policeman of the same age in front of her in surprise, and it took a while to regain her senses, her eyes became firm, "Yes, Flower Team."

In the early hours of the morning, the DNA comparison results came out. There were no samples in the library, and the identity of the bones could not be determined.

"The expected result." Liu Zhiqin said: "If Kang Qing was indeed bought by Kuang Ming, then she is probably a black household."

Hua Chong asked: "There is still no breakthrough in communication?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "Kuang Ming didn't receive any suspicious calls, but his state before the accident was rather suspicious."

"Huh?" Hua Chong said, "Which aspect?"

"Kuang Ming ordered takeaways for the employees, and then left. First, he went to a simple restaurant for dinner, and then went home. At 8:[-], he went out to play cards in the chess and card room he often goes to." Liu Zhiqin called out the monitoring , "Pay attention, in the chess and card room, he has been checking the time."

Hua Chong said: "He is thinking about one thing that must be done."

"I adjusted the surveillance in the chess and card room some time ago. When Kuang Ming went to play cards, he often played until 3 or 4 in the middle of the night." Liu Zhiqin said: "But he withdrew just after 12 o'clock that day."

Hua Chong asked: "Have you approached the owner of the chess and card room and his poker friends?"

"I've looked for it. That day, Kuang Ming made an agreement with them in advance. I have something to do at home at night, so I have to leave first, and ask the boss to find someone else to 'take over'." Liu Zhiqin pulled the video, "But in fact, he was leaving After entering the room, he didn’t go home, but went directly to his second brother, Lao Lu, and this was the last picture of him being photographed.”

During the monitoring at the street, Kuang Ming was sneaky and kept looking around, as if he was waiting for someone to appear.

"Watch this video again." Liu Zhiqin clicked on another one, "At the same time, at the same place, Kuang Ming was watching vigilantly again."

Hua Chong said, "What's the matter with him? He always comes to his own factory at this time?"

"I thought that the night he was murdered was the first time he went to his second brother Laolu in the middle of the night, but pushing the timeline forward, in the last half month, he went there at least 4 times. There may be more, but he chose other ways , The surveillance did not capture him." Liu Zhiqin turned off the video and sat down, "I watched these videos repeatedly, and thought of a possibility."

Hua Chong propped his forehead, "Tell me."

"He is such a shrewd businessman, why can't he see that there is less stock in the freezer?" Liu Zhiqin said, "That employee named Su Yuan stole expired meat and sold it not once or twice. There is a lot, but the accumulation of small amounts of time, as the boss, there is a high probability that he will suspect someone of stealing meat."

Hua Chong said: "So he went there in the middle of the night to catch the scene?"

"The kitchen is clearly monitored. I thought about why he didn't use the monitoring." Liu Zhiqin said: "The reason may be that once the monitoring is working, the warning light will light up and make a slight sound. When the monitoring is on, Su It is impossible for Yuan to steal things. And the kitchen has always had the habit of shutting down the monitoring after work. Kuang Ming made his own decision, and the chef who left last will implement it. Kuang Ming has almost no chance to turn off the monitoring by himself. If one day, he proposes to monitor There is no need to close it, or tell the chef in private, it may let the meat thief know that he has been discovered."

Hua Chong pondered for a moment, "It makes sense."

"Su Yuan didn't steal every day, and Kuang Ming didn't go to guard every day. The few times he went there, he didn't catch the scene." Liu Zhiqin continued: "Actually, on the day of the murder, Kuang Ming went right. —if he hadn't been killed."

"Wait a minute." Hua Chong raised his hand, "Then this Su Yuan is still very suspicious. He was discovered by Kuang Ming, and then he killed Kuang Ming, cleared the traces, and left footprints on purpose, giving a wrong clue, so that Stealing to cover up murder."

As he said that, Hua Chong frowned suddenly, "No..."

Liu Zhiqin looked at him and knew that he had thought of a key point.

"Do it again!" Hua Chong picked up the pen and began to write on the notepad, "The murderer locked Kuang Ming and wanted to kill him in a suitable place. He finally chose the kitchen of his second brother, Lao Lu, because When it’s late at night here, the surveillance will be turned off, and the second brother Lao Lu is Kuang Ming’s own territory, and the surrounding environment is chaotic, which is convenient for him to commit crimes.”

The pen made a swishing sound on the paper, Liu Zhiqin looked at the paper, then at Hua Chong.

"However, how to lure Kuang Ming to the kitchen to kill is a problem that the murderer urgently needs to solve." Hua Chong said: "If you let Kuang Ming come directly, it is tantamount to exposing yourself. If you don't succeed, it's over. Phone calls and other methods will leave clues, and the police will find out sooner or later, so they can't be used. From this aspect, he has a good sense of anti-reconnaissance."

Liu Zhiqin nodded.

"Actually, what's more important is that Kuang Ming is a complicated person. No matter what proactive method the murderer takes, Kuang Ming will suspect that there is fraud." Hua Chong raised his head, "Only if Kuang Ming is allowed to 'take the initiative', follow-up actions will be possible." It will be smooth."

Liu Zhiqin said: "If a businessman takes the initiative, it will affect his interests. Su Yuan's theft of the meat in the freezer seems to be mercenary. Maybe the mercenary is just an appearance. He wants to use mercenary to attract Kuang Ming to the kitchen. He knew the purpose of Kuang Ming very well, he knew that Kuang Ming would not choose to turn on the surveillance, but would arrest the scene himself. In this way, he drew Kuang Ming over without anyone noticing. After committing the crime, he first cleaned up the scene, and then stayed Footsteps, tell the police that he stole the meat in the freezer. The theft is a fact, you can verify it with the buyer. In this way, he took himself out, from a very suspicious person who had appeared on the scene, to a A thief who 'merely' stole meat."

Hua Chong said: "In major cases, due to the pressure of solving the case and the influence of misunderstandings, petty theft is the most likely to be ignored."

Liu Zhiqin narrowed his eyes, "We can't ignore such a person this time."

Su Yuan is 26 years old, a native of Wangxiao Village under the jurisdiction of Anjiang City, with a junior high school education, and his parents are farmers. Five years ago, he left his hometown and came to Anjiang City to work. Because he has no education, he can only do low-level jobs, such as washing feet, going to construction sites, and doing portering in the vegetable market.

At the end of last year, the second brother, Lao Lu, urgently recruited packing workers, and he passed the job. This job was the easiest job he had ever done since he came to Anjiang City.

——These were all told to the police by himself when he was questioned last time.

In the past few days, he and the other employees of his second brother, Lao Lu, have been under the surveillance of the police, and there has been no abnormal behavior.

Being brought to the city bureau again, Su Yuan looked dazed, "I, I have already pleaded guilty, what else do you want to ask me?"

Hua Chong observed the thin man.

Su Yuan is not tall, only 1 meters. In the inquiry room, he took off his coat and wore a thin brown sweater. Although his body was blocked by the sweater, he was not strong, but rather thin.

This figure matches the profile he made based on the circumstances of the killing of the three victims.

"How did you think of stealing meat?" Hua Chong asked a random question, "Have you ever done this kind of thing in the place where you worked before?"

Su Yuan quickly shook his head, "No, I have never stolen before!"

Hua Chong asked: "How much can you sell once you steal it?"

Su Yuan lowered his head, "It's about 30 yuan."

Hua Chong said: "Kuangming pays you 3200 a month, and you don't care about food. You took such a big risk, just for 30 yuan?"

"I was confused for a moment. Thirty yuan is money. Who doesn't want to make money if they have money?" Su Yuan said softly: "And I can't help it. My family is poor, and my father is sick again. He has lung disease. If he doesn't cure it, he will die. It will cost a lot of money. I can't make a lot of money, only this kind of stealing money."

Hua Chong's eyes gradually darkened.

Su Yuan was different from what he had imagined.According to his and Liu Zhiqin's judgment, Su Yuan was seriously suspected, but after chatting over and over again, all he saw was an ordinary rural youth.

Liu Zhiqin is currently investigating Su Yuan's background. Whether Su Yuan is related to Kuang Ming and the other two cases has not yet been determined.

Starting from the contact at this time, Hua Chong already had some doubts about last night's judgment.

"All the money I sold, I took it all out." Su Yuan said nervously: "I have recorded everything, and I will pay back everything, and..."

Speaking of this, Su Yuan suddenly got stuck.Kuang Ming had already been killed, so even if he wanted to pay back the money, who could he pay it back to?

"I'm still in the store." He said, "How long will I be sentenced in this situation? I still want to take care of my dad!"

Liu Zhiqin stared at the display screen for a moment, picked up mineral water and drank half a bottle.

Su Yuan's background is relatively simple, and there is no difference from what he explained before.However, the communication and Internet records in the past six months were normal. His father was indeed ill and was living in a hospital in the county.

Liu Zhiqin clasped his hands and put them on his chin, thinking of another possibility, could Su Yuan be used?

There are also two types of use. One is that the murderer has contact with him, implying that he steals meat and sells it for money. , thus utilizing.

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, and then sent a message to Hua Chong, "Try to see if he is being guided."

Hua Chong glanced at the phone, then put it back in his pocket.

Under the bright light, Su Yuan was already sweating.

"Why do you want to steal meat?" Hua Chong asked.

Su Yuan was stunned.

Hua Chong said, "Have you heard it from others?"

Su Yuan shook his head vigorously, "Because, because..."

"Ok?"

"Because when I was young, my family was too poor, and my dad used to steal meat to sell."

This reason was beyond Hua Chong's expectation.

"I really went the wrong way for a while, I promise, I will never do this kind of thing again!" Su Yuan covered his eyes, his shoulders trembled, "Actually, I regret it, but stealing is addictive."

After the inquiry, Hua Chong returned to the temporary office.

"The direction is correct, but the details may be wrong." Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chong's mouth was dry, and he was sure that the water on the table belonged to Liu Zhiqin, so he picked it up and drank it, "Kuang Ming appeared in the kitchen in the middle of the night, there is a high probability that he noticed that the meat was stolen and ran to arrest the scene. The murderer took advantage of Su Yuan. He knew about Su Yuan’s theft, and he also knew that Kuang Ming went to arrest the scene in the middle of the night. This person can only be someone who is closely related to the second brother, Lao Lu, and the possibility is very high that he is an employee.”

Liu Zhiqin said: "Second brother, Laolu, there are only a few people in total, including the courier station and suppliers, there are not many people. I'll go check it out."
