The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Hua Chong used to think that the hardware conditions of the special operations team must be better than that of the criminal investigation teams of various provinces and cities. After all, they are superior units with a large number of talents.It was only after I was transferred that I realized that although the special operations team has everything they want, most of the time, everyone cannot enjoy this kind of elite treatment.

Because their "battlefields" are usually not in the capital, but all over the country.Most of them are cities with a lower level of economic development. The so-called distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near ones. When people arrive, they cannot move all the equipment of the headquarters, so they can only borrow the local equipment nearby.

The conditions of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Xiling City, let alone compared with the Special Operations Team, even compared with Los Angeles City, are also far behind.

Qishu Town did not have the conditions for an autopsy, and the victim was sent to the Xiling City Forensic Medical Appraisal Center.

Any place, as long as there is the word "center" in the name, it will look quite grand.But the majestic Xiling City Forensic Center is only the name, and its simplicity is similar to the mortuary in a small hospital or the funeral parlor in a small county.

However, Pei Qing and Haizi have long been used to it. They put on professional isolation suits as soon as they arrived, and began to dissect without saying a word.

Some small cities have the custom of "graciously" entertaining higher-level units. Hua Chong refused all of them. He only wanted a meeting room and asked the other party to book three standard rooms at a chain hotel near the city bureau.

His relationship with Liu Zhiqin is known to many people in the Los Angeles City Bureau and the special operations team. It stands to reason that it is understandable to ask for a double bed room when he is on a business trip, but he has always only booked a standard room, two people, two beds, as for Whether one of the beds should be slept in or not is another matter.

The results of the DNA comparison have not yet come out, and the age of the victim has not yet been determined. The reasoning can only be based on experience and a few clues obtained from the scene.

The meal time is already over, Yue Yue plans to order takeaway, and then go to work after eating.

The six people eat a lot, especially Hua Chong and the two field staff.

"Flower team." Yue Yue leaned half of his body into the conference room, but couldn't find anyone, "Brother Liu, where is the flower team?"

Only Liu Zhiqin was in the meeting room. Ten minutes ago, he opened his laptop and connected to the main public surveillance system in Qishu Town.

"I was called by the Ke team, and there is a form that needs his signature." Liu Zhiqin glanced at the time, "I'll be back soon."

Yue Yue: "Oh, then what should I give him?"

Liu Zhiqin: "Be the same as me."

Yue Yue laughed, "That won't work. Like you, he must not be full. Just like me."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

Yue Yue is 1 meters tall and is the Mount Everest in the group. It is his duty to eat a meal for two.

Hua Chong has a thin body and is much shorter than others. If he eats as much as Yue Yue, it is called... a waste of food.

These words were complained by Pei Qing behind her back.

"Then order three." Liu Zhiqin said: "The flower team and I, a total of three."

When he was the team leader of the serious crime team in Los Angeles, Hua Chong was only responsible for investigating the case, and other affairs were handled by his own leader. Later, he succeeded Chen Zheng as the deputy team leader. The change of status meant a change in the way he treated people. In getting along with the officialdom, he has improved a lot, and gradually he has a sense of ease.

After communicating with several important members of the Xiling police circle, Hua Chong bought a few bottles of drinks on the way back to the meeting room.

This is an early habit.

Everyone knows that it is not good to drink too much pigmented drinks, but when you encounter a case, you don't want to drink plain water.He can only attribute it to the fact that investigating the case takes a lot of brains, and he needs to replenish sugar in time.

The takeaway happened to be delivered, and Hua Chong sat beside Liu Zhiqin and ate it silently, not realizing that he had taken two portions by himself until the end of the meal.

Liu Zhiqin looked at him and smiled softly.

Hua Chong heard the breath, raised his head, "Huh?"

Liu Zhiqin gestured to the empty takeaway box with his eyes, "Yue Yue ordered three for us."

Hua Chong didn't know what to do, "What three copies and two copies?"

Liu Zhiqin: "Each person gets one share, and we share the third share equally. But you..."

Liu Zhiqin pretended to be distressed, "You ate half of my portion."

Hua Chong was speechless, "You still share yours with me? Your appetite is not as big as mine, one portion is enough."

He said this frankly, without any ambiguous meaning.

But Liu Zhiqin wanted to focus on the first half of the sentence to make a fuss, "You mean, we shouldn't divide yours from mine? If you eat it, I will eat it?"

Hua Chong froze his hand as he twisted the drink bottle cap, always feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Liu Zhiqin smiled, "Okay, we don't distinguish between you and me, at worst I'll get it back from you later."

Hua Chong understood everything now, picked up the drink bottle and put ice on Liu Zhiqin's neck.

He bought an iced drink, and the fog on the bottle turned into chilly water when heated, rubbing Liu Zhiqin's neck all over.

"Concentrate on your work and don't miss out." Hua Chong is very friendly to the other team members, but loves to put on leadership airs with Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin brought the bottle over, "It's all up to you."

"It is very unlikely that the victim is a local, but Qishu Town is relatively closed, and there are generally no outsiders except tourists who enjoy the flowers." Throwing away the takeaway box, Hua Chong sat on the edge of the table, holding his hands casually. On the chest, "The purpose of her coming here is worth exploring."

Liu Zhiqin tapped the keyboard a few times, zooming in on the monitoring of entering and leaving Qishu Town, "The murderer is the same. He is neither a local nor a tourist. He must appear special in the monitoring."

Hua Chong turned his face, "Is there any gain?"

"Not yet."

Hua Chong nodded and was silent for a moment, "What do you think about anesthesia below the waist?"

"The murderer wants the victim to live in pain, but injects her with anesthesia, which is contradictory in terms of behavior logic." Liu Zhiqin said: "But the murderer must have a reason for doing so. Flower team, this kind of 'doing nothing' may be a mistake." To mislead the police."

Hua Chong let go of his hands, "Anesthetics out of reach of ordinary people, professional spinal injection techniques, and suturing of wounds. Anyone who handles a case will immediately think of medical staff, especially anesthesiologists and surgeons."

Liu Zhiqin: "Yes. From this point of view, the murderer may divert the attention of the police."

Hua Chong picked up the notepad, held it in his left hand, and quickly wrote with his right hand.After closing the notebook, he said: "But this is only a possibility. The sutures on the victim's body were handled quite rough, not by surgical stitches, but more like..."

Hua Chong was still thinking about how to describe it, but Liu Zhiqin had already said, "It's more like mending broken toys or clothes."

"Yes." Hua Chong said: "Assuming that I am the murderer, I want to mislead the police. On the premise that I have a careful plan, I will definitely learn professional surgical needle skills."

Liu Zhiqin leaned back, leaned into the back of the chair, folded his hands on his abdomen, "I don't intend to imitate, that is, the act of anesthesia and stitches itself has extraordinary meaning to the murderer."

Hua Chong got down from the table, "I think of another possibility."

"what?"

"fear."

Hua Chong walked to the window.This meeting room has a whole wall of windows. When the curtains are not drawn, daylight pours in like a waterfall, sweeping away the visible and invisible haze.

Liu Zhiqin stared at the person standing in the light.

Hua Chong, please close your eyes and try to put yourself into the murderer.

"Being cut limbs alive and being cut open must be unbearable pain, but the severe pain sometimes dilutes the fear. It is the same as crying bitterly, it is a kind of emotional venting."

"Once this emotional venting is blocked, the pain of the limbs becomes dull, and the mind is extremely clear, then people will be immersed in a dilemma of extreme fear."

Liu Zhiqin said in a low voice: "The victim's legs were cut open first, when the anesthetic took effect."

Hua Chong turned around, turned his back to the window, his brows were covered by shadows, "The murderer wants the victim to be terrified and painful. There are two methods of torture, and the murderer will not let go!"

"Why do we have to use anesthesia? Why is it local anesthesia below the waist instead of general anesthesia? Because after general anesthesia, the victim will lose all consciousness. From a certain point of view, the victim cannot feel pain and fear. Happy. But local anesthesia is different, the victim’s mind is clear, and he watched the skin and muscles of his legs being cut open!”

After finishing speaking, beads of sweat oozed from Hua Chong's forehead, as if he had witnessed that terrifying scene with his own eyes.

Liu Zhiqin got up and handed him a bottle of ice water.

Hua Chong poured it down, and said again: "I have seen people who can't move below the waist. Their lower limbs only have a very dull sensation, and there is no pain. Although the upper body can move, for a newly 'paralyzed' person, only by The strength of the arm makes it impossible to move the body at all. Especially the upper body of the victim has obvious signs of restraint, and she was bound."

"So she clearly knows that the flesh on her leg has been cut open." Liu Zhiqin couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, "Because he can't feel pain, his thinking is occupied by fear. This kind of fear destroys consciousness no less than in pain."

Hua Chong: "After inflicting terror, the murderer inflicts sharp pain on the victim. If the murderer does not hate the victim to the extreme, and must use these two methods to destroy the victim's spirit and body, then he has an anti-social personality."

Liu Zhiqin: "Maybe it's a combination of both."

Hua Chong calmed down a little, went back to the table and sat down.

Liu Zhiqin rubbed the back of his neck.

This is a small action with little practical effect, not as good as rubbing the shoulders or pressing the temples, but whenever the back of the neck is rubbed by Liu Zhiqin, Hua Chong will immediately relax, like a cat whose neck has been scratched.

But he will never admit that he and cats have the same hobbies.

"I still have no idea about suturing the wound." Hua Chong glanced at the time, "Pei Qing and the others may be over soon."

The autopsy report and trace inspection report were released before the DNA comparison results.

"Brother Liu!" Haizi rushed over anxiously, "Guess what's in that lump of dirt?"

Liu Zhiqin flipped through the report, slightly surprised, "Rape flower?"

"Didn't expect it!" Haizi said: "The unexpected is yet to come! Lose money, go!"

After Pei Qing entered the forensic identification center, she changed Sao Bao's special forces uniform into an isolation suit, and now that she has completed the autopsy, she changed it back.

He shaved his scalp close to his head, and he carved a broken eyebrow with a knife to symbolize the scar. Now he was holding the autopsy report and explaining the findings of the autopsy one by one.

And others can't question him yet, and when they question him, he will be impatient - a forensic doctor who doesn't want to be a special soldier is not a cool man.

"I removed all the sutures and found a large number of rapeseed flowers in the victim's abdomen and pelvis." Pei Qing turned over the detailed photos to Hua Chong, "I think the intention of the murderer to cut the victim's abdomen was different from the intention of cutting the limbs." , the victim's uterus and part of the intestines were removed and replaced with rapeseed. When the murderer performed the excision, the victim was dying or had already died, and his life response was very weak. A small amount of rapeseed was left at the scene, which should be because the murderer did not pay attention when cleaning up arrive."

Haizi slapped himself on the face, "The viciousness of the murderer this time refreshed my three views."

Pei Qing glanced at him, and said mockingly: "You rely on others to refresh your three views every day."

Haizi: "I thank you, but you have refreshed my three views more often."

Pei Qing: "Are you a pos machine, so easy to be swiped?"

"No manners, no quality, no object!"

"Report, Team Flower, someone here has made a personal attack on your forensic doctor."

Liu Zhiqin: "Calm down, both of you."

Hua Chong automatically shielded the two monkeys from arguing, and quickly flipped through the report, "The abdomen was cut open to put rapeseed flowers in it, so suturing the wound would explain it. It seemed awkward to sew only the abdomen, so I also sewed up the cut limbs." "

Haizi said, "Is this murderer obsessive-compulsive?"

Pei Qing raised the bar, "OCD won't be so ugly."

"Can you not slap me?"

"What I'm talking about is the truth, won't you use your brain to analyze the rationality of your behavior?"

"Pei Qing makes sense." Hua Chong said: "The murderer sewed up the limbs, not necessarily to unify with the abdomen, maybe there are other purposes."

"What does the rape flower represent?" Liu Zhiqin's eyes gradually became sharper, "According to the judgment of the pubic symphysis, the victim is between 32 and 34 years old, which symbolizes that the uterus of a woman was cut off and replaced by a rape flower. The murderer used this to declare something Appeal?"

Haizi scratched his hair, "The brain circuit of the pervert is a pit, maybe the murderer just picked it up on a whim and saw so many rapeseeds around him, so he picked it to fill it in?"

Pei Qing said contemptuously: "A fool's head is a hole."

Haizi: "..."

"No, maybe it should be reversed—because there are a lot of rapeseed flowers in Qishu Town, the murderer chose this place." Hua Chong said: "The rapeseed flower is a symbol, it must be the rapeseed flower."

Liu Zhiqin walked to the corner alone, and suddenly turned around, "Ten days ago, there were not so many rapeseed flowers in Qishu Town."

Hua Chong looked at him: "But the sporadic ones are enough to fill the victim's abdomen."

After finishing speaking, Hua Chong's expression changed slightly, "Haizi, do another test to determine whether the canola flowers used by the murderer are fresh flowers or processed dried flowers."

Haizi was at a loss, "What if it's dried flowers?"

Hua Chong said: "There are many possibilities, but the first thing I think of is items that use dried flowers as fillers, such as sachets, pillows, and various toys."

Haizi's scalp was numb, "The murderer made the victim into a toy?"

"It's just a way of thinking." As soon as Hua Chong finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang.

The results of the victim's DNA comparison came out.
