The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Baiyuan Town is facing the same problem as Qishu Town - the loss of young and middle-aged people.Many of Shi Limiao's peers no longer live in Baiyuan Town, and it is not easy to find them.

Hua Chong thought for a while, and planned to go to the school where Shi Limiao had studied, and there might be some clues left there.

A primary school in Baiyuan Township has been renamed Guangyao Primary School. The sound of reading in the campus is loud, and the children who are in physical education class are practicing relay on the plastic playground, all alive and well.But if you observe carefully, you can also find children who are not so gregarious. They are doing their own things outside of the excitement. It is not known whether they do not want to integrate into the group at all, or are rejected by the group.One of the girls with shofar braids stood under the shade of a tree. She kept watching the laughing and chasing classmates. She made several steps, but she never walked towards them.

Hua Chong looked at it for a while, then walked towards the teaching building.

The dean is about to retire, and it took a long time to calm down after listening to Hua Chong's explanation, "I remember her, and I took her with me, how could such a thing happen to her?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "In your impression, what kind of person is Shi Limiao?"

Cheers from the students came from outside the window, and the dean stood up and walked towards the window.After a while, he pointed to the west, "Did you see that girl?"

Hua Chong saw that it was the girl he saw when he passed the playground.

The teaching director said: "Shi Limiao has never participated in group activities, like that. She has good grades, but she is too introverted, and she always lowers her head when talking to people. Children are very 'utilitarian', they invite you , you don’t play with them, after a few times, they won’t invite you again.”

In Hua Chong's mind, Shi Limiao's appearance in the "Floating Life" studio emerged. In more than 20 years, he has completely changed a person.

Or, what has changed is only the appearance.

"I was still young at the time, and I couldn't see students falling behind. After discovering Shi Limiao's problem, I talked to her and her parents several times, and gradually understood a problem." As he spoke, the dean sighed, " Shi Limiao is not confident, do you know the root of her lack of confidence?"

Hua Chong said: "Her family, especially her sister."

The dean was a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Then you know, did her sister pass away when she was very young?"

"I know." Hua Chong said, "Actually, besides Shi Limiao, I also want to ask you about Shi Lizhen's school days—if you remember."

"Remember, remember." The dean said: "I was in charge of Shi Limiao's grade, but her sister Shi Lizhen was very famous in the whole school at that time, she had good grades, could dance, had a lively personality, and had many friends. Children Shi Limiao's heart is actually very sensitive and fragile. Shi Limiao has such an older sister who is better than her in every aspect. Her older sister is also in the same school as her. She was compared since she was a child. By the time I discovered the problem, she had become very introverted. Timid, not confident."

"I tried to chat with her and communicate with her parents, but unfortunately, her parents didn't seem to pay much attention to her." The wrinkles on the dean's face moved, feeling helpless, "In those days, few parents cared about their children Mental health, they think that as long as the grades are good, it’s all right. As for me, Shi Limiao is not the only student who manages, and because I was young at that time, I felt that your parents didn’t care, and you didn’t cooperate with me. Why should I be with you? Why spend so much time on one person?"

The dean paused for a while, "It's me, the teacher, who didn't do well."

Hua Chong gradually sketched Shi Limiao when he was in elementary school.

She watched her classmates from a distance, her sister in the bustling center, the happier they were, the more lonely she was.

At school, she hid in Shi Lizhen's shadow, and at home, Shi Lizhen received more favors.

She thought, why am I not as good as my sister?My grades are obviously very good, but why do you only see my sister and not me?

What should I do so that you can see me?

It's all my sister's fault!It would be nice if my sister didn't exist!

Hua Chong exhaled lightly, and asked again: "Do you still remember, after Shi Lizhen passed away, what happened to Shi Limiao?"

The teaching director said: "She hasn't come to class for a long time. It's normal for her to ask for leave when something like this happened at home, but she took too long. I wasn't sure what their family meant, so I went to see Look. Alas, that house has been destroyed!"

Hua Chong said, "Destroy?"

"After so many years, I still feel uncomfortable thinking about that scene." The dean said: "Shi Limiao's parents have collapsed, and she is actually a little girl running the house. Her mother has not been home for a long time, and she almost lives in the unit. When her father doesn't go to work, he drinks and plays cards. When I went, she was still cooking porridge for her father."

Hua Chong asked: "When will Shi Limiao come back to class?"

"I can't remember the exact time, but it was before her mother passed away."

"Has there been any change in her character?"

The dean's eyes lit up, "Yes, she started trying to get in touch with her classmates. I guess it's because she has experienced so much all of a sudden, and she is open-minded."

Hua Chong frowned.It doesn't have to be open-minded.

"They held the class reunion the year before last, and she didn't come back." The dean finally forced a smile, "I heard that she didn't come back after she was in college, and she was working hard on her career outside. It's pretty good, and she can be regarded as Get rid of the family of origin."

Speaking of this, the dean's eyes dimmed again, "It's a pity that someone killed me, alas..."

When Hua Chong came out of the dean's office, the physical education class was over, but he saw the girl with the shofar braid again.

The girl did not go back to the classroom for culture class with her classmates, but hopped on the wasteland behind the teaching building, with a book at her feet.

Hua Chong walked over and stood about 5 meters away from her.

She turned around, her eyes wary and dazed.

"Why are you playing here alone?" Hua Chong said.

The temperament he exudes changes at any time. When facing suspects, when facing the family members of victims, and when facing ordinary people, years of criminal police experience allow him to take it easy. Animals and little kids love it.

Children's preferences are the most straightforward. They are willing to get close to whoever is good-looking, commonly known as "looking at faces".

The girl's vigilance weakened a little, "Who are you?"

Hua Chong said, "I'm a policeman."

The girl asked: "Are you here to catch the bad guys?"

Hua Chong said: "I will protect the children."

Hearing this, the girl actually smiled.

Hua Chong picked up the book on the ground, "Is it yours?"

The girl nodded and reached out to ask for it.

Hua Chong was about to hand it to her, when he suddenly realized that it was a popular science manga about the universe and stars, and there was a library label on the side, which seemed to be borrowed by the girl.

"Does it look good?" Hua Chong asked.

"It's pretty." The girl turned a few pages, walked to a stone, sat down and looked.

Hua Chong followed, "Xing Xing?"

The girl raised her head and asked in a childish voice: "The stars are too bright, covering up the light of other stars, what should I do?"

Before Hua Chong could answer, the girl snorted, "Just let Xing Xing die."

The words are full of childishness, but it makes people shudder.

The sky was cloudless and the sun was just right. Jiang Hua pushed Shi Qi's family to a park near his home to bask in the sun.

She came from the countryside and was many years younger than Shi Qi's family, but she didn't want the house and money of Shi Qi's family, she just wanted to find a partner to live with.

She has been married to Shi Qi's family for 10 years, and she has hardly heard of Shi Qi's family talking about her daughter.She doesn't like gossip, and Shi Qi's family is not willing to talk about it, so she doesn't ask, and guards the family dutifully.

But after the policeman appeared, she suddenly became very nervous.What happened to this family?Why did Lao Shi suddenly say a lot of things she couldn't understand?Who is Zhenzhen?Shi Limiao was killed suddenly, will it affect her two children?

Thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on her back, and she couldn't help wondering if the marriage was a mistake.

After basking in the sun for a while, Shi Qi's family became more awake, calling Jiang Hua's name vaguely.

"I'm here, I'm here." Jiang Hua hurriedly said, "Are you awake?"

Shi Qi's family reacted very slowly, "Police, there are police..."

"Do you remember? The police came today, and you are still talking nonsense!" Jiang Hua said in a coaxing tone.Shi Qi's family already knew about Shi Limiao's murder, but the emotional ups and downs have not been very big. At that time, Jiang Hua felt that there was really no relationship between the Shi family's father and daughter.

Unexpectedly, when the police came, Shi Qi's family suddenly became excited, "Where...where?"

"It's already gone." Jiang Hua pressed his chest and gave him comfort, "You, you said a bunch of things, such as rapeseed flowers, and any danger."

Shi Qi's family stopped moving all of a sudden.

Jiang Hua was startled, "Lao Shi, what's wrong with you, Lao Shi?"

"Police, did the police hear you?" Shi Qijia asked.

"Of course I heard it." Jiang Hua became more and more uneasy, "Old Shi, what are you trying to say? Also, who is Zhenzhen?"

After a long time, Shi Qi's family looked at the opposite road with empty eyes, "I want to see the police."

When Hua Chong appeared in front of Shi Qi's family again, the old man's mind was not so clear again.

But he seemed to hold his breath, "I want to repent."

Hua Chong already saw the answer in his eyes, "About your two daughters?"

Shi Qi's pupils seemed to shrink, "I know, I always knew that my eldest daughter was killed by my younger daughter."

Jiang Hua was terrified and knocked over the table when he stepped back.

Hua Chong said calmly: "Why do you say that?"

Shi Qi's family acted as if they hadn't heard, "But I covered her up, I didn't expose her..."

These words carried strong subjective emotions. The police were able to identify Shi Lizhen's death as an accident precisely because the evidence of homicide was not established.

"Zhenzhen is very good, and I would never encourage her to see rapeseed flowers." As if unwilling to mention the word "Shi Limiao", Shi Qi's family always used "she" to refer to it, "It was she who led Zhenzhen to see the rape blossoms." In the past, she knew there were many wasps there, and she wanted the wasps to kill my Zhenzhen!"

This inference has long been formed in Hua Chong's mind, but there is currently no substantive evidence to support it.

Hua Chong asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Shi Qijia shook his head, "But I know. I am their father, and I know my daughter well."

Hua Chong said, "Did you not tell the police what you thought?"

"I dare not." Shi Qi's family trembled, "I dare not even say Xiaofang."

Hua Chong understands this mentality.When one daughter died, it was very likely that another daughter was responsible for it. As a father, at the most flustered moment, Shi Qi's family dared not say anything and could only hide everything in their hearts.

Over the years, this has become a stubborn stone in his heart, making him breathless, so that he gradually cut off contact with his little daughter. After learning that his little daughter was killed, he was almost indifferent.

"She hates me and her mother, and also hates Zhenzhen." Shi Qi's voice was like an old bell, "She thinks we only love Zhenzhen, and it's not the first time she wants Zhenzhen to die."

Hua Chong: "What else did she do?"

Shi Qijia closed his eyes, "Xiaofang found a thumbtack on Zhenzhen's bed."

After saying this, Shi Qi's family fell into a state of madness again, babbling and drooling, calling Zhenzhen for a while, and saying rape flowers are dangerous, don't go.

Hua Chong returned to his residence and quickly wrote pictures in his notebook.

The sutures on Shi Limiao's body correspond to the missing doll, and the rapeseed flowers in Shi Limiao's pelvic cavity correspond to the field of rapeseed flowers that engulfed Shi Lizhen. The accident 23 years ago and the current murder case suddenly become a link.

It is impossible to confirm whether Shi Lizhen's death was accidental or man-made, but maybe someone, like Shi Qi's family, believed that Shi Limiao harmed Shi Lizhen without evidence.

Will this man have revenge?

But why did it take so many years for revenge?

Hua Chong put away his pen, closed his eyes and entered into this blurred person.

He may not be someone close to Shi Lizhen, but Shi Lizhen occupies a pivotal position in his life.He had been brooding over Shi Lizhen's death, and for a long time he, like everyone else, thought it was just a tragic accident.

Shi Lizhen was too beautiful, so she went to heaven.

But suddenly, due to a certain opportunity, he discovered that the facts were not what he thought.Shi Lizhen's death was hindered by someone, and this person was Shi Lizhen's biological sister.

He wants to avenge Shi Lizhen, let Shi Limiao suffer the pain of being cut open before death, and then die in the form of a doll.In his eyes, rapeseed is evil, so he buried the dry rapeseed in Shi Limiao's body, implying the birth of evil.

He knew Shi Limiao very well. In life, he was by Shi Limiao's side. He even had a way to easily ask Shi Limiao out and walk towards the brick house of death by himself.

There, he "executed" Shi Limiao, and then left without anyone noticing, until Shi Limiao's body was discovered by a flower viewing tourist.

"I can ask Shi Limiao to come out, to go to the brick house..." Hua Chong thought to himself while thinking.

The owner of the farmhouse played tricks on Shi Limiao. Although Shi Limiao maintained an ordinary way of getting along with him, there was a high probability that he would not go to such a remote place with him.In the same way, the guy from "Liujia Rice Noodles" can't date Shi Limiao either.

They wanted something from Shi Limiao, but Shi Limiao didn't need them.

Shi Limiao will follow a person, because there is a need for this person.

Before Shi Limiao was killed, what was his most urgent desire?
