The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The survivors in Jiangxin Village are not easy to find out. Because of the cat-eating-dog "scandal" that caused a lot of noise back then, and a large number of rescue team members died in the mudslide, the survivors became "unworthy" people to live.

In order to minimize the harm they may suffer, the relevant staff scattered them in various villages and towns in Anjiang City. If they wanted to change their names, they would try their best to satisfy them. This made their household registration information no longer clear in the system.

Liu Zhiqin took some time to find all the survivors except Zhao Ying, Liu Shan, and Dao Cheng. They are——

Fan Yu, female, 35 years old, partner of Yukuai Animal Health Center, single.

Cai Man, female, 28 years old, lives in Kefeng Village, works in agriculture, is married, has one son and one daughter.

Bai Ruojuan, female, 30 years old, lives in Daolong Town, housewife, married with one son.

Chang Lian, female, 29 years old, self-employed, unmarried.

Liu Younan, female, 27 years old, employee of Changfeng Printing, unmarried.

Nie Jun, female, 31 years old, a housewife with a daughter.

Hua Chong looked at the list, "Are the nine survivors back then all female?"

"Yes." In some offices of the Municipal Bureau, there are simple fitness equipment. Liu Zhiqin is doing pull-ups, and his voice sounds tighter than usual.

Hua Chong glanced at him and frowned not too clearly.Liu Zhiqin has always had the habit of exercising. When they are policemen, they must maintain a strong body and sufficient physical strength, but Liu Zhiqin has recently increased the frequency and intensity of exercising.

It was because of Gu Yunzui's appearance.

Whether there will be a fierce battle in the future, no one can tell now.All they can do is be ready at all times.

Hua Chong turned his gaze back to the list, and Liu Zhiqin finished a set and got off the equipment.Pull-ups are a very physical exercise, and some sweat dripped from his neck, and he walked to the table to get water.

"There are very few men in Jiangxin Village, and those who can go out have gone out." Liu Zhiqin filled a small bottle, "Except for Cai Man and Bai Ruojuan, everyone else is in Anjiang City, each with their own jobs."

"Liu Younan, Chang Lian, and Fan Yu are all unmarried." Hua Chong said, "One employee, one self-employed, and one partner."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "In this series of cases, married people are far less likely to commit crimes than unmarried people. They have family ties, and my focus is on the three unmarried people. Guess what clue I found? ?”

Hua Chong raised his head, "Is it related to Wang Jie?"

"Yeah." Liu Zhiqin picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, "The Rainbow Flower Sea is only 3 kilometers away from the museum. It is the largest plant market in Anjiang City. Chang Lian has a store there, mainly selling succulents."

Hua Chong immediately thought of a clue, "There are many succulents in Wang Jie's home!"

"Wang Jie occasionally drives to Rainbow Flower Sea. He may not be a fan of planting flowers and plants, but he likes to watch and buy." Liu Zhiqin added: "It can be seen in his payment records, He has been to 8 shops in Rainbow Flower Sea, including Chang Lian's small shop Silver Moonlight."

Hua Chong said in a deep voice: "So the intersection of Wang Jie and Jiangxin Village is not only because he once satirized Jiangxin Village, but he also had contact with the survivors of Jiangxin Village."

"Before Wang Jie was killed, Chang Lian had been to the museum 4 times. Now she needs to make an appointment with her ID card to enter the museum. She left a record of 4 times." Liu Zhiqin said: "She probably went to see Wang Jie."

Hua Chong took a few steps, "It makes sense, the three victims had all been in contact with the survivors in Jiangxin Village, and their words and deeds touched the bottom line of the survivors."

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "I don't think this is the bottom line for survivors."

Hua Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Some of the survivors have formed a criminal organization because of their common knots and resentments, 'survivor' is no longer their core label, 'criminal' It is."

Liu Zhiqin put the towel on his shoulders, sat down, and typed a few times on the keyboard, and an ordinary-looking woman immediately appeared on the screen. She was wearing a slightly bloated thick sports suit and an apron stained with mud. Stepping on boots, carrying potted plants from the van.

"This is Chang Lian." Liu Zhiqin said: "According to our previous inference, the murderer is someone who has a certain obsession with chopsticks. Chopsticks symbolize meals, and meals symbolize survival, so the murderer's knot is actually For the survivors of Jiangxin Village, although the nine of them survived, the livelihood of other relatives and friends was cut off by those who abused and misinterpreted them. After leaving Jiangxin Village for many years, among the survivors Some people come out and have families and careers, but some people don't come out even though they have careers, and they want revenge, but they can't revenge against those who hurt them."

After a while, Liu Zhiqin continued, "Their revenge is very random—start with the evil deeds that you can see and hear around you, and temporarily let go of the evil that you can't see or hear. Liu Shan 'saw' it." Kuang Ming, who works in Ajie Street, knows what Kuang Ming has done to drive away the disabled couriers, and what Kuang Ming said, 'Now that social welfare is so good, who can starve to death' strongly stimulated her."

Hua Chong said: "Then Huang Xia was 'seen' by Daocheng. Huang Xia made a plan for the company to dismiss workers. Although this incident did not happen on Xieyang Road, Huang Xia is a person who likes to chat with people. Melon seeds and a pot of tea, she may have personally told Dao about her dismissal."

Liu Zhiqin said: "But I'm still a little confused here. Do you remember Bai Zhongguo's words? Huang Xia actually knows very well that dismissing workers is against human nature. She likes to chat with people and has a strong desire to confide, but It’s not even possible to bring this matter up.”

"I guess this matter was just brought out by her accidentally." Hua Chong said: "She has a bad relationship with Bai Zhongguo, she likes to talk about family matters, she can scold her husband with anyone, and when it comes to excitement, It just happened to tell the story of the conflict.”

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "It makes sense. From Daocheng's ears, Huang Xia's words were very harsh, such as 'if you fire, you can fire, how can you die poor if you have hands and feet'."

Hua Chong looked at the list again and remained silent.

Liu Zhiqin waited for a while, "What?"

"Liu Shan and Dao Cheng, we have already contacted them, they don't seem to be people with strong planning skills." Hua Chong put his hands on his chin, "Chang Lian is a self-employed person, maybe they have planning skills, but they may not be able to plan." There was one person, and it was this person who influenced them and brought out the resentment that had been hidden in their hearts for many years."

Liu Zhiqin leaned on the table, "Zhao Ying has this kind of ability."

Hua Chong said: "This partner named Fan Yu is worth noting. She is a pet doctor and has a certain understanding of medicine. To become a partner, there should be no shortage of financial resources and personal abilities. And have you thought about it?" No, why does she want to be a veterinarian?"

Liu Zhiqin immediately reacted, "The outside world criticized Jiangxin Village for eating cats and dogs, which had a huge impact on her."

"She's making compensation, but maybe it's not just compensation." Hua Chong adjusted his clothes, "You continue to check the contact between them, I guess the communication records will be rewarding. I'll go see Chang Lian."

Rainbow Flower Sea’s business was not very good in the afternoon, many shops were closed, Silver Moonlight was on a deserted side road, the owners of several shops set up a table by the side of the road to play mahjong.

Chang Lian didn't hit him, but stood aside and watched.

"Sister Chang, come and touch it too?" A woman in her 40s said at the poker table.

When they do business, they call each other sister or boss, and it has nothing to do with age.Chang Lian shook her head with a smile, "You fight, I'll take a look."

"Hey, you've been watching it for several years, and I haven't seen you having a meeting."

"That's right, it's not enough to just watch it, I still have to play it myself."

Chang Lian said: "I can't play well, I'm afraid of losing money."

Everyone laughed, "You girl, how can you talk casually if you are afraid of losing money?"

"That's right, let's play cards. You can't make money if you play well. It depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can win a house by playing blindly with your eyes closed."

Chang Lian said: "A suite is too exaggerated."

There were all of them, and the topic on the poker table immediately changed to the game of mahjong just now, the mahjong was shuffle, the upper player complained about the next player's sourness, cursed and started a new game.

Chang Lian heard them arguing for a while, and caught a glimpse of a car at the branch road from the corner of his eye.

That car is not like a car for buying and delivering goods, it should be a customer.

In the store that is still open on their branch road, she is the only one who doesn't play mahjong, and this business should be done by her.She immediately greeted her with a smile, "Buying flowers?"

Hua Chong got out of the car, followed by Hai Zi and a local policeman.

Chang Lian looked at their clothes, his face suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth trembled, "You..."

The local criminal policeman showed his ID, and Hua Chong said, "Ms. Chang, I want to know a few things with you. Where can I talk conveniently?"

There was a lot of excitement at the card table, someone saw Chang Lian bringing the "customer" into the store, and shouted: "Sister Chang, you have business!"

"Yeah, yeah." Chang Lian responded perfunctorily, "You guys fight, I'll come back later."

Hua Chong followed Chang Lian, and when he came to the door of the store, he looked at the layout inside and outside the store.

The facade is not big, not decorated much, the iron shelf for the flowers is rusted, and there is a pile of dead succulents in the corner.

When he was in Los Angeles, he and Liu Zhiqin investigated a case related to the owner of a flower shop. The victim in that case was called a "flower seller".

And Chang Lian's shop is the most common kind of plant shop, and the sales of flowers and plants are not expensive.

"What's the matter with you?" Chang Lian asked anxiously.

Hua Chong turned to her, "How long have you been running this flower shop?"

Chang Lian grabbed the apron almost subconsciously, "It's been three years."

Hua Chong said: "That means opening a flower shop as soon as we arrive in Anjiang City."

Chang Lian's face turned pale, "Do you know that I came to Anjiang 3 years ago? What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Three years ago, you lived in Wukang Town, I do know that." Hua Chong said again: "I also know that your hometown is actually not Wukang Town, but Jiangxin Village, and your real name is Chang Yonglin. "

Chang Lian's eyes widened, her black eyes were very small, and when she stared like this, her eyes appeared extremely white, a little frightening.

Hua Chong said, "Do you still have contact with the other people who came out of Jiangxin Village?"

Chang Lian was stunned, and shook her head after a long while, "We haven't been in touch for a long time, and we haven't been in touch since we came out."

"Really?" Hua Chong said, "Haven't you contacted Dao Cheng and Liu Shan?"

Chang Lian still shook her head.

Hua Chong took two steps in front of her, "Have you ever contacted Fan Yu?"

When Chang Lian heard the name Fan Yu, Chang Lian's jaw tensed, "No, no contact."

"I've already been in contact with Dao Cheng and Liu Shan." Hua Chong said, "I asked them the same question, and they said they hadn't contacted—the same answer as yours."

Chang Lian looked at Yun Zhu at the side.

Hua Chong continued: "But later I found out that they met in private. Although I don't know why they concealed this matter, but since they concealed it, it may be because they have secrets that they don't want the police to know."

Chang Lian suddenly turned his face away, with sarcasm and anger on his face, "Did the people in Jiangxin Village do something wrong? You forced us so much back then, and now you are still investigating us! We live according to our duties, why do you Come to investigate us? Isn’t there enough dead people in Jiangxin Village?”

What she said was anxious and trembling, which shocked Haizi, and Hua Chong said calmly: "If you really live your life according to your duties, of course I won't come to check you. Not long ago, an employee named Wang Jie from the museum The guide was killed, he once bought succulents from you."

Chang Lian's expression was very stiff, "What, what does this have to do with me? There are so many customers coming and going in my shop, will I be investigated if they die?"

"You have been to the museum four times." Hua Chong said again: "And each time was when Wang Jie was working."

Chang Lian swallowed her saliva, "The museum is quiet, no money is required, even if I go and sit around?"

Hua Chong changed the subject, "I want to see your surveillance records."

Chang Lian was obviously not happy, "What's so interesting about surveillance?"

Hai Zi said: "Please cooperate with the investigation."

Chang Lian had no choice but to click on the video, "Only the last week, the rest of the time is gone."

Hua Chong said: "Actually, I would like to see the monitoring records on October 10."

Chang Lian's eyes were even more dodgy.

"If there are no more, then I can only ask a few more questions." Hua Chong said, "Where are you on October 10?"

Chang Lian said: "It's been so long, how can I remember?"

Hua Chong said, "Why don't you look through your work records to see if you came to the store that day?"

"How could I not come to the store?" Chang Lian said, "This is my store, and I guard it every day."

At this time, a boss who was playing mahjong fired a cannon and came down to rest. He wanted to go back to his shop, but he heard a lot of movement in the silver moonlight, so he walked over. Just in time to hear the date of October 10, he said loudly : "Sister Chang, didn't you ask me to look after the shop for you at the end of October? We played mahjong at your place in those few days!"

Chang Lian's cheeks suddenly turned pale.

Hua Chong stared at her, "Looking at the store?"

The boss was still yelling, "Anyway, you weren't here for a few days at the end of October, and we drank your green plum wine!"
