The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The street where the second brother, Lao Lu, was located was originally called Ajie Street, but because almost the entire street was engaged in e-commerce business, it was nicknamed Rich Street by people doing business here.

The police force of Anjiang City Bureau is relatively sufficient, and the investigation work has been carried out in an orderly manner. Yue Yue followed the direction Hua Chong said during the meeting, and chatted with people from house to house.

There are three kinds of people that are most common on Fufu Street. One is a vendor, including the boss and the workers underneath; the other is a courier, who sometimes helps deliver food; , tube full regardless of health.

The criminal police have been asking them about the case, but most of them don't want to talk about it.

But chatting nonsense with them, and talking about whatever comes to mind, their interest will come.Come and go, you can really talk about things.

At the end of last year, something big or small happened on Baofu Street, and it had something to do with Kuang Ming.

Where there is an e-commerce company, there is a courier station. There used to be two deaf-mute couriers at the one on the east side of the street.Although it is not necessary to be able to listen and speak when sending and receiving express delivery, it is always inconvenient for the deaf and dumb.Moreover, deaf-mute people often make exaggerated gestures and make strange sounds from their throats, especially when they are in a hurry, the appearance of constantly making gestures is a bit scary.

There are timid shops that are unwilling to let deaf-mute people come to receive express delivery, and even suggested to the boss that the deaf-mute people should be fired.

The boss is kind-hearted. He said that the two deaf-mute people are from his hometown. It is difficult for them to come out and find a job. He will go back and tell them and try not to gesture excitedly. If they really don’t want to let them receive the express delivery , then he will collect it himself.

Hearing this kind of explanation, ordinary people forget it.

Life is not easy for anyone, and it is even more difficult for the disabled. Why bother to cut off the way of life for others?

But not long after, one of the deaf-mute was killed.

The police at the police station came to see it, and it was determined that it was a traffic accident, and the person who hit the person was probably a van.However, there was no surveillance at the place where the incident occurred, and there were no witnesses at the time, so it was difficult to find the perpetrator.

Many people who do business here speculate that maybe some company doesn't like deaf-mute people and makes such a fuss on purpose.

But guesses are always guesses, there is no evidence, and in the end it just goes away.

The boss later recruited some couriers, all of whom were handicapped with difficulties in life.The merchant next door told him, why are you bothering?The salary is a lot, and they don't do as many things as normal couriers.

The boss was cheerful and said that they also need a job to support themselves, so if they can help, they can count it as a blessing.

The disabled couriers shuttled through the streets and alleys, and they were very active in their work. Most of the couriers from other companies also took good care of them. Some merchants did not want to use them, so they refused to accept the goods. For a while, everyone lived in peace.

However, in December last year, the remaining deaf-mute courier was scraped by a tricycle at the door of the second brother Laolu, fell quite far, and was not seriously injured, but after some examination and treatment, it still took 12 More than ten thousand.

Deaf-mute people do not have medical insurance, so they have to pay for it themselves.

The tricycle belonged to Kuang Ming's family, and the courier boss discussed with Kuang Ming, not letting Kuang Ming deliver all of it, but letting Kuang Ming share a little.

Kuang Ming didn't say anything at the time, and gave the money generously.

But it didn't take long for them to unite with several merchants who were dissatisfied with the disabled couriers and asked them to leave Ajie Street.The reason is that the road here is narrow and there are many people and vehicles. Normal people walking on the road are easily scratched, let alone deaf-mute and crippled.

I killed a person last time, and this time I scratched another person, affecting the feng shui of Ah Sister Street. Everyone is worried when starting a business. What if they hit someone again someday?

The initiative is entirely from the perspective of the merchants, and the merchants are the most important presence on Ajie Street.

Some merchants don't say anything on the surface, and they have long complained about the disabled couriers in their hearts. Who doesn't want to communicate more smoothly?Faster delivery?The problem for the disabled is, why should they, the vendors, pay the bill?It is not easy for the disabled, but is it easy for them?

Although some other businesses feel sorry for the disabled, they feel that what Kuang Ming said is also reasonable. They pay attention to feng shui in business. If feng shui is destroyed, how can they do business?

Besides, it was Kuang Ming who lost money this time, what if it was his turn next time? If more than 1 yuan is paid out, that would be a disaster for no reason.The street is so crowded, who knows if my tricycle van will hit a disabled person?

The courier boss wants to keep the disabled employees, and they work door-to-door, saying that they really live a very hard life. Some people have become what they are now because of strange diseases. Can you accommodate them so that they can rely on labor to support them in this society? Own?

Most of the merchants are not happy, Kuang Ming said, do they rely on labor to support themselves?No, they are relying on everyone's mercy.Disabled people should go where disabled people should be.Isn't social welfare good now?You don’t have to work and you can eat and drink. Why come out to make a living? It’s dangerous and tiring. If you’re not careful, you’ll lose your life.

The boss tried hard to explain, saying that the benefits for the disabled are not as good as you imagined. If they lose their jobs, it will be difficult for them to support themselves in the city.

Kuang Ming said, how is it possible?Are you slandering our social welfare system?Where is the situation of dying of poverty and starvation now?The country is good enough for you, but healthy people like us have to work hard.I want to be a disabled person. How comfortable are you disabled people eating our tax money?

After the boss heard it, he was speechless.

Kuang Ming also said, if you really can't survive in the city, then go back to the countryside.I don't believe it's possible to starve to death.

Because it was boycotted by most businesses on the street, the express station for the disabled at the east end of the street failed to persist.The boss dismissed all the disabled, and the deaf-mute cried and made strange noises, and made gestures that many people found intrusive, as if they were complaining about something.

But they all left anyway.There will soon be a new express station at the east end of the street.This episode about the courier was soon forgotten. For busy traders, selling goods is the most important thing.

"Kuang Ming did such a thing..." After listening to Yue Yue's report, Hua Chong took two steps beside the table, thinking about what Kuang Ming said to the courier boss—how is it possible?Where is the situation of dying of poverty and starvation now?I don't believe it's possible to starve to death.

Because I have a healthy body, I can't see the difficulties and pains that the disabled face when they want to live in this society.

No empathy.

Disdain to empathize.

Hua Chong supported his chin and exhaled heavily.

Kuang Ming is by no means an exception. In fact, he has seen countless similar situations.

For example, when the blind called for attention to their group, many able-bodied people said, can't you just stay where you should be?Benefits are good enough, what more do you want with our taxpayer money?Does everything revolve around you?

For example, when children in impoverished mountainous areas who can’t eat a meal of meat a year look eager for help in the camera, many people who live a prosperous life say, it’s not enough, where is there such a poor place?Is it a hype, a show?It must be a scam. I don't think there are such poor people.

Some people are running for these vulnerable groups, and more people are stopping this running because of ignorance, arrogance, and selfishness.

Narrowed down to Ajie Street, the courier boss was running around. He almost used his kindness and dedication to find a way out for the disabled couriers, but Kuang Ming and other vendors blocked this way.

This road, for those with disabilities, is actually a way of life.Because of their particularity, that may be their only way out.

way of life...

Hua Chong pursed his lips, thinking of what Huang Xia had done.

When Huang Xia helped the company's senior executives to fire workers, she had a heated dispute with her husband Bai Zhongguo, during which she said a word - it's not like they can't survive without this job, right?With hands and feet, why is it dying?People are forced out, and they will not die without this job, and maybe they will be encouraged to make a fortune!

Bai Zhongguo scolded angrily - you have no empathy at all!

What Huang Xia did was different from what Kuang Ming did, but the idea and essence were the same.

But if they think about it from the perspective of a disabled courier who has been fired and lost his job, they might not say such cruel words.

After Liu Zhiqin learned of this clue, he immediately started to investigate the owner of the courier station and the disabled courier who was forced to leave.

"How is it?" Hua Chong asked.

Liu Zhiqin put the tablet in Hua Chong's hand, "The owner of the courier is Pan Zhen, 35 years old, and came to Anjiang from the countryside to work hard more than ten years ago. He has a deaf-mute brother in his family, which is probably the reason he cares about it." cause of the disabled community."

Hua Chong looked down, "After leaving Ajie Street, he opened another courier station on Lanyang Street? Are they still using disabled couriers?"

"That's right." Liu Zhiqin nodded, "Lanyang Street is surrounded by residential areas. There are basically no vendors. There are restaurants and convenience stores that are also for residents' business. The express station he opened is next to a convenience store. There are more deliveries than receipts, and he has more couriers working there than before."

Hua Chong simply said: "I'll go to his shop to have a look."

The police car moved slowly on the congested road.

Now, there is a not-so-obvious connection between the Huang Xia case and the Kuang Ming case, and this connection is closely linked to the chopsticks left by the murderer at the scene. They may have killed the workers because they dismissed the workers and forced the disabled courier to leave. disaster.

But there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved.

If the murderer can be deduced from these two clues, Pan Zhen and his disabled courier have the motive to kill Kuang Ming.

Compared with Ajie Street, Lanyang Street is much neater and cleaner.This street is located in the south of Anjiang City, and the three surrounding buildings are mid-to-high-end residential areas, and most of the people who live there have a good income.

Panzhen's courier station is at the intersection, which can be seen across the road.When Hua Chong passed by, a man with a limp was loading a package onto a trailer. He was very careful, unlike the "let the package fly for a while" that the media often exposes.After moving the package, he pulled the trailer and walked into the community. The doorman opened the door for him. He bowed and said thank you, and the doorman nodded with a smile.

At this time, a van stopped at the door of the express station, and a tall man wearing a jacket got out of the driver's seat. Immediately, someone ran out of the store to pick up the goods. Judging from the monotonous syllables they uttered, they were all deaf-mute.

The tall man is also moving goods, all of which are large.

Hua Chong recognized it, it was Pan Zhen.

Although it was a cold day, Pan Zhen was still sweating profusely. When he learned that the person standing in front of him was a policeman, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed honestly, "Come in and sit down. I have some deaf-mute people here. You don't mind a little weird gesture, don't you?"

Hua Chong shook his head.

There are six shelves in the store, and the packages are numbered and everything is in order.

Hua Chong observed the couriers who came in and out. They were all unattractive, dressed in simple clothes, with traces of hard life on their faces and hands, but their eyes were full of ambition.

A deaf-mute courier noticed that Hua Chong was looking at him, so he smiled shyly and gestured to him.

Pan Zhen said, "He's saying good afternoon to you."

Hua Chong learned the gesture after reading it once, and said good afternoon to the other party.

The courier smiled even wider, and went to work on his own.

"They are right. I was kicked out from Sister Street. At the beginning, I chose to live there mainly because I thought there were people doing business there, and there were many ways to live. But I overlooked one problem—business is very important. Feng shui and efficiency, my brothers and sisters have no character, honest and down-to-earth, but their hands and feet are definitely not as fast as a healthy courier. They drove us away. At first I couldn’t figure it out, thinking why they were so unsympathetic, but Later, I realized that it was actually understandable.”

Pan Zhen smiled, and said again: "It is they who say that now that the welfare is so good, the disabled should stay in the place of the disabled, and they will not starve to death. I disagree with this. They themselves are lucky to live in the In this world, you can't see other people's misfortune, and you have to use your own luck to satirize others' misfortune, which makes me feel very sad."

"But leaving Ajie Street, we are a blessing in disguise." Pan Zhen pointed to the shelf, "I didn't know what to do at the time, so I asked everywhere for help. The real estate on Lanyang Street is willing to help us. They are free of charge for this facade. Provided. They trust us and we do our best, which is good.”

Hua Chong revealed to Pan Zhen about Kuang Ming's murder. Pan Zhen was so surprised that he didn't speak for half a minute, and then sighed softly, "I understand why you came to me today. These brothers and sisters might kill Kuang Ming, right?"

Hua Chong frowned lightly.

He did come here today with suspicion, but the experience and sense of the criminal police told him that Pan Zhen and these disabled couriers who paid more for their livelihood could not be the murderers.

The suffering at Kuangming did not breed hatred in their hearts, they just turned around and continued to live desperately.

Pan Zhen was very calm, "It is reasonable to suspect, and I cooperate with the investigation. The surveillance here is open 24 hours a day. I have a very detailed record of when they work every day and where they go, and Lanyang Street surveillance Many, I heard that it is basically covered without dead ends, just check it out.”

Hua Chong has ruled out Pan Zhen and others as suspects of committing the crime both emotionally and intellectually, but in terms of procedure, he still sent someone to call for surveillance.

They all have alibi.

Liu Zhiqin checked all the monitoring and made sure that it had not been modified.

At night, Anjiang City became a sea of ​​pink lights. This kind of gorgeous color, which is a bit tacky, can actually make people feel pleasing to the eye when it spreads out in the winter night.

The police car was parked just under the sea of ​​lights, and streamers flickered on the body and window panes.

"The victim did not become the perpetrator, and it is reasonable to look at it as a whole." Liu Zhiqin adjusted the angle of the warm air, "Pan Zhen and his courier had the motive to kill Kuang Ming, but they did not kill Huang Xia , Wang Jie’s motives. If what Kuang Ming did to them was the reason for the murderer’s action, then the murderer was actually standing up for justice to avenge Pan Zhen and the disabled courier who was hurt by Kuang Ming. Similarly, Huang Xia's side is also in a similar situation."

Hua Chong was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "That is to say, there is a person... No, there is a high probability that there is a group of people who are secretly looking for people like Huang Xia and Kuang Ming to take revenge?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "I really want to know how they targeted Huang Xia and Kuang Ming."

"In fact, there are many people like Huang Xia and Kuang Ming. They can't empathize with other people's suffering. They think that the suffering does not exist when they are doing well. If someone wants to lend a helping hand, they are unwilling to help, and usually prevent them from doing so. " Hua Chong held his forehead, "There are too many similar things."

"No, although there are many similar things, Huang Xia and Kuang Ming are among the more prominent examples." Liu Zhiqin said: "If there is such a group, then they notice Huang Xia and Kuang Ming, and they will Within reason."

After a pause, Liu Zhiqin said again: "Not only have they noticed, but they also know a lot about these two people—at least in the case of Kuang Ming. Huang Xia and Wang Jie, if we have enough clues , there is a high probability that this commonality can also be found.”

Hua Chong leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and the pink light hit his side face like a star.

Light and shadow polished his outline even deeper.

"A group, someone in this group happens to be in the victim's social circle, so it is easy to find out what the victim has done, and list them as targets, and then hide in the dark, using people and things around the victim to commit crimes. "Hua Chong said slowly, "Put together the people who had close contact with the three victims. People with a common background may be the people we want to find."

Liu Zhiqin said in a deep voice, "The Punisher."

Hua Chong shook his head, "I think it's more likely an Avenger."

Liu Zhiqin turned sideways, "Huh?"

"In the face of similar encounters, some people will choose to turn around and let go, such as Pan Zhen and his courier. Maybe most of the dismissed workers also choose to let go." Hua Chong said: "But there are still very few Victims can't let go and want revenge. But for some reason, they can't take revenge on those who hurt them, they can only inflict hatred on similar people."

Hua Chong looked at the lights ahead, "They are taking revenge on the ignorance and malice they have endured."
