The Book of Death by Heart Poison

News of Shi Limiao's death had already reached Baiyuan Town, but her father, Shi Qi's family, did not go to identify the body immediately.

Hua Chong came to Shi's house. The 65-year-old man had a fall three months ago and had a stroke not long after. The situation was good and bad. When he was awake, he could recognize people. If you don't understand.

"It's impossible for the old man to see her." Jiang Hua is the wife of Shi Qi's family. He is 57 years old this year and looks much younger than the old Shi Qi's family.

She put a quilt on Shi Qi's lap, coaxed her for a while, then shook her head, and said to Hua Chong: "You have seen the situation, he can't even speak clearly, and he won't be able to help you if he goes .”

Shi Qijia babbled, his eyes were cloudy, he stared at Hua Chong for a while, then turned away and looked elsewhere.

Hua Chong looked around the entire room.

The air is filled with the smell of old furniture after being damp. People who have lived in it for a long time may not be aware of it, but to outsiders, this smell is particularly obvious. Even if the windows are opened for ventilation, it cannot be dispelled.

There are bottles and cans of medicine on the table, as well as leftover meals, fruits piled up in the corner, and sheets that have not been cleaned in time, making it crowded everywhere.

Baiyuan Town is not rich, many old people's homes are like this, Shi's family is not special.

Before Hua Chong came, no other members of the special operations team had been here, and the team's knowledge of Shi's family only came from part of the information provided by the Baiyuan Town Police Station.

Shi Limiao's mother passed away when she was in elementary school, and her father Shi Qi's family reorganized the family. Shi Limiao never returned to Baiyuan Town after graduating from university.Jiang Hua lost her husband in middle age and has a son and a daughter, all of whom have a good relationship with Shi Qi's family.When Shi Qi's family was hospitalized for treatment in recent years, thanks to their care, Shi Limiao never visited him once, nor sent money home.

"Does Shi Limiao know about this?" Hua Chong and Jiang Hua came to the living room, intending to start with Shi Qi's family stroke.

Jiang Hua said: "We didn't tell her, there's no need, her money belongs to her, Lao Shi and I never thought of relying on her."

It is said that the family relationship is cut off continuously, but here, the family relationship has obviously been broken.

"Has there been any conflicts between Shi Limiao and you?" Hua Chong asked.

Jiang Hua lowered his head and took the wool that was put aside to weave.She doesn't really seem to want to knit, but the repeated up and down motion relieves her uneasiness in the face of the police—even though she doesn't need to be.

"There is no contradiction, but he is not close to Lao Shi, and I haven't met her a few times." Jiang Hua said: "We don't mention her very much at home. By the way..."

As he spoke, Jiang Hua stopped, and the corners of his mouth moved twice, as if he was hesitating.

Hua Chong said: "Did you remember something?"

Jiang Hua smiled awkwardly, "I want to ask how she died."

Regarding Shi Limiao's death, the details can't be disclosed, but other things can't be told to her stepmother.Hua Chong said: "She was killed while traveling."

Jiang Hua murmured: "Did she offend anyone?"

Hua Chong asked, "Do you have a clue?"

Jiang Hua quickly shook his head, "How would I know, I don't know her well. I'm just afraid that if she causes trouble outside, others will not only want revenge on her..."

Although this was said very euphemistically, it could still be heard a bit cold.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement inside.Shi Qi's family seemed to be shouting something.

Jiang Hua got up immediately, and Hua Chong followed.The door opened, and Shi Qi's family threw the blanket on the ground like a restless child.

"Don't go to see... flowers, don't go..." His voice was hoarse, as if a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat.

Jiang Hua coaxed: "Don't go to see flowers, don't go to see flowers, alas!"

Hua Chong seemed to catch something all of a sudden, "Aren't you going to see Hua?"

Shi Qi's family was even more excited, struggling to get up from the wheelchair, "It's dangerous, Zhenzhen, it's dangerous!"

"I'm so confused." Jiang Hua explained to him while reciting, "He also yelled like that a few days ago, and I don't understand what it means."

Don't go to see flowers, it's dangerous.

Flower, is it rape flower?

Hua Chong's expression changed slightly, he walked to the wheelchair, squatted down, looked directly into the old man's out-of-focus eyes, and asked slowly, "Why don't you look at Hua?"

Jiang Hua was quite helpless, "He's out of his mind, he's talking nonsense."

Hua Chongqing held the old man's hand, "Why are flowers dangerous? What kind of flowers are they?"

He is good at trying to figure out people's psychology, and he is even better at observing people's expressions.Whether a person talks nonsense after being stupid, or remembers something buried deep in his subconscious, the eyes are different.

Shi Qi's family had sorrow and anger in their eyes, as if they knew that there was nothing they could do about it, but they were still dying.

He is telling a person not to go to see flowers, it is very dangerous there.

Shi Qi's family quieted down, his eyelids drooping heavily.He looked very old, as if something had crushed him many years ago.

Hua Chong's voice was softer, "Tell me, what kind of flower is it?"

He opened his mouth, as if there were tears in his eyes, "Oil, vegetables, flowers."

Since then, Shi Qi's family has not said a word.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Hua was anxious, "What's wrong with the rape blossoms?"

Hua Chong asked: "May I ask, do you know the deceased wife of Shi Qi's family?"

Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, "She, her name is Yang Fang, she was a nurse and died of a cerebral hemorrhage. I...I used to be from Wanping Township, so I don't know much about it."

When rushing to the town hospital, Hua Chong frowned, thinking about a problem.

Shi Qi's family is delirious now, but they still don't forget to remind people around them that rapeseed flowers are very dangerous.Is it because of what happened to his close relatives because of rapeseed?This incident was like a thorn in his spirit, and now it was the season of rapeseed blooming, so he was afraid and terrified.

Is this close relative Yang Fang?But the cause of Yang Fang's death was cerebral hemorrhage, which seemed to have nothing to do with rapeseed.

Then who else?

It's not like Shi Limiao, because whether it's the objective reality or Jiang Hua's subjective narration, the relationship between Shi's father and daughter has reached a very bad point.

But on the other hand, if Shi Qi's family really reminded Shi Limiao, it would be too coincidental—Shi Limiao died beside the rapeseed field.

"Yang Fang has passed away for more than 20 years." The old dean's hair was gray, flipping through a photo album, "This is Yang Fang, what a pity. She is hardworking and has a good personality. She has been in the orthopedics department. You know, bone injuries need the most Be patient, some nurses can't bear it, but she alone, no matter how troublesome a patient is, she will give her a thumbs up."

"If she hadn't insisted on transferring to the operating room, nothing would have happened." The old dean sighed and shook his head, "Although there are many orthopedic patients, their work intensity is not as high as that of the operating room. The pressure on the operating nurses is particularly high. One operation after another, and sometimes being called to help in the surgical ward, is too much."

"Wait a minute." Hua Chong interrupted suddenly, "Why was Yang Fang transferred to the operating room?"

"This..." The old dean closed the album, hesitant to speak.

Hua Chong didn't urge him, but he didn't change the subject either. He was waiting for the old dean to speak for himself.

"Did something happen to their family?" The old dean looked at Hua Chong, the doctor was benevolent, and he had probably dealt with birth, old age, illness and death all his life, and there was a deep compassion on the old dean's face.

This trip to Huachong came with the police from the town police station, and the police had already told the old dean about Shi Limiao's murder.

Hua Chong nodded, "So if you think of anything, if you know anything, please tell me."

The old dean looked out of the window, and after a while he said, "Actually, you will know this matter once you investigate it at the police station. The Shi family has committed a crime, and the two daughters are gone."

Hua Chong: "Two daughters?"

The policeman who came with him was in his 30s, and was surprised when he heard that, "The Shi family still has a daughter?"

"It's long gone. You weren't in our town at that time." The old dean said, "Let me think about it... Yang Fang's eldest daughter is Zhenzhen, whose full name I forgot. It’s also very sweet. Sometimes Yang Fang brings her to the hospital, and she even sings and dances to patients. I remember that Yang Fang seems to have enrolled her in a dance class or something, saying that she wants to cultivate her hobbies.”

"But God failed, Zhenzhen passed away when she was only 10 years old." The old director shook his head, "Since then, Yang Fang seemed to be a different person, and her husband also seemed to be a different person. Yang Fang came back later. Going to work, she called me to apply, saying that she would be transferred to the operating room. I knew, she wanted to use work to divert her attention. "

Hearing this, Hua Chong had many questions, but he didn't interrupt the old dean halfway.

"I talked to her a few times, and she said she's okay, she's still young, and she can persevere no matter how tired she is." The old dean looked ashamed, "Blame me, I didn't transfer her from her post in time. Before she fainted, she was sleepless." I worked non-stop for two days, and there were so many surgeries at that time, we didn’t have enough manpower, so we had to bear it. She died as soon as she came, and that night, she was gone.”

The old dean was immersed in the emotions of the past, and didn't continue talking for a long time.When he recovered, Hua Chongcai asked, "Why did Zhenzhen die?"

The old dean said: "Wasps. Don't look at the wasps, they are small. They can kill. When Zhenzhen was sent, her organs were exhausted."

The policeman gasped.

Hua Chong couldn't bear to think of that scene.

"There was also a doll with Zhenzhen." The old dean said: "I put it away at the time and wanted to wash it and return it to Yang Fang, but it disappeared. I always feel strange about this, you Say, who would steal a doll? It's Zhen Zhen's relic."

When ordinary people face a tragic event, they tend to fall into a sad mood.An experienced detective must remain calm.

The dead man's doll is missing, who will steal the dead man's doll?What is the dark secret on the doll?

After bidding farewell to the old dean, Hua Chong rushed to the police station again.

Zhenzhen's death from being stung by a wasp is not a homicide, but an accident. More than 20 years have passed since the incident, and the police station may not have any records.But as long as someone has called the police, there must be a few words left behind.

The deputy director, Lao Li, had never dealt with anyone from the Ministry of Public Security in his life, so he was unavoidably nervous when talking to Hua Chong.Hua Chong chatted with him about other things before he began to ask Zhenzhen, but he did not expect that he was the one who dispatched the police back then.

"The little girl is too miserable." Lao Li shook his head as soon as he said, "In spring, the clothes are thin. She and her sister went to see the rapeseed flowers and met a wasp. When we rushed there with the doctor, her head was swollen. It's so big."

Old Li gestured, "I can't see the facial features anymore, and she was stung a lot. She was still conscious. She said it was painful, but she couldn't be rescued later."

Hua Chong said: "Did she go with her younger sister? The conclusion of the investigation at that time was a wasp attack?"

"We actually considered homicide, because the girl is really miserable." Lao Li said, "But how is it possible? Who would use a hornet to kill someone? And the sister of the deceased is Shi Limiao, who you came to investigate this time. She said in person that it was her sister who told her that the rape blossoms were blooming well and told her to take the doll to play. This happened by accident.”

Hua Chong flipped through the records, his brows gradually furrowed.

Shi Lizhen was only 11 years old when he passed away, and Shi Limiao was only 9 years old at the time. It has been 23 years since the incident.

The paper records from 23 years ago are very rough, including Shi Limiao's transcripts, Shi Qi's family and Yang Fang's.But Shi Limiao is the only one who can say about Shi Lizhen before and after she was attacked by wasps.

"Mom is on duty, and Dad is out to deliver the goods. My sister said, there are only two of us at home today, let's go see the rapeseed flowers. I said, the rapeseed field is outside the town, and my mother forbids us to go so far away. My sister said, don't be afraid." , we take Xiaoxian, it will protect us."

Xiaoxian is the doll of the sisters.

"...I was so tired, I lay down on a rock to rest. I wanted my sister to accompany me to rest, but she said she wanted to go to a farther place. Later I heard her shout and saw a swarm of bees surrounding her. She was crying, I didn't know what to do, I didn't dare to approach, she yelled at me to go to the doctor, I couldn't find my way, I was lost, I was scared, but then I found the doctor."

"...The doctor said that my sister is gone."

Hua Chong noticed that Shi Lizhen was stung, and Shi Limiao called the doctor for 5 hours.

For five hours, Shi Lizhen endured great pain, while Shi Limiao claimed to be lost.

Shi Limiao was only 9 years old at that time.For a 9-year-old girl, it's normal for her to get lost outside of town, and she was very nervous.

But is it really that simple?

Shi Limiao has a bad relationship with his father and has not been home for many years.23 years after her sister passed away, like her sister, there are rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and plains in the background of her death.

Her sister lost a doll and her body was cut and stitched like a bloody doll.

The sporadic clues seem to hold up a small part, but such inferences make people shudder—did Shi Lizhen really die in an accident?Was this accident caused by someone on purpose?

"I was the one who opened the certificate of Yang Fang's death." Lao Li said again: "At that time, I felt that this family's misfortunes never come singly. The eldest daughter has only been gone for a year, and another person is gone. The town is small, and everyone has a tacit understanding. I didn't mention it, and over time, I forgot about it. Now that the youngest daughter has an accident, Shi Qi's family has lost their minds, so it's better not to know anything."

Hua Chong asked: "Shi Limiao doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his family?"

Lao Li thought for a while, then nodded, "Maybe because the elder daughter is so outstanding, the younger daughter has not received much attention. If it wasn't for handling the case back then, I didn't even know that the Shi family had a younger daughter."
