The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The temporary office assigned by the Chuanming Municipal Bureau to the special operations team was in good condition, spacious and bright, clean and tidy, because there was a large terrace connected to the outside at the corner.

But no matter how good the conditions are, it is also a place for criminal police to meet and rest, and there is nothing good to entertain guests.

Liu Zhiqin thought that the old man might not be used to drinking coffee, so he just poured a glass of water and put it on the table.Hua Linmao thanked you repeatedly, and asked cautiously after sitting down, "I didn't interrupt your work, did I?"

"Nothing." Liu Zhiqin smiled and found that Hua Linmao's sitting posture was very upright, even though he was old, his back was still subconsciously straightened.

This is very similar to Hua Chong in a serious situation.

However, Hua Chong is just pretending to be in front of outsiders. After returning home, he can spread a cake on the sofa when he gets lazy.

"That's good." Hua Linmao nodded, took a sip of water from the paper cup, and put his hands neatly on his lap after putting it down.

Liu Zhiqin invited Hua Linmao to come up this trip for two purposes. First, after the investigation of the case, he and Hua Chong have preliminarily determined that the murderer either belongs to the teacher group or is a close related person of the teacher group. The victim was made into crude specimens, and the murderer was expressing the concept of "model", but the core motive of the murderer is still unclear. Hua Linmao is a retired teacher who has lived in Chuanming City for most of his life. Maybe he knows something that can explain it. The second is selfishness, as long as Hua Linmao is willing to talk about Hua Chong, no matter good or bad, he is willing to listen to it.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hua Linmao was obviously not so restrained, and took the initiative to say: "Being a policeman is hard, isn't it? You can't eat well when you are running outside all day."

I don't know if it's because when people reach a certain age, they love to worry about meals.Although Liu Zhiqin has no parents, he has heard countless times that his colleagues are told by their family members to eat well, as if eating is the most important thing in the world, and before eating, everything must be compromised.

He really wanted to say that the last thing anyone in the flower team had to worry about was eating.

"It's not bad." Liu Zhiqin said politely: "There are hardships in all walks of life, and it's not just the police."

Hearing this, Hua Linmao showed a disapproving expression, "Xiao Liu, didn't your parents intervene when you decided to become a policeman?"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "I was brought up by my elder brother. He is also a policeman himself."

"Ah..." Hua Linmao was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question."

Liu Zhiqin smiled, "It's okay. I heard from you, it seems that you don't want the flower team to become a policeman?"

"It's not good to be a policeman." Hua Linmao almost blurted out, and added: "I'm not prejudiced against this profession. You police need to solve it. I just think that being a policeman is too hard. You just said that all industries are hard, but I have experienced it, and I know it is different. In this society, there are professional requirements for policemen, soldiers, teachers, and doctors. higher."

Liu Zhiqin frowned lightly.

Although Hua Linmao's words were a bit long-winded, his conclusion was not wrong.

"I am a teacher, and my wife is also a teacher. It is true that teachers are respected by others, but there are also many people staring at you. Any behavior of yours will be magnified, let alone at work, even if you relax a little in private. You may be used to make a fuss. Because you are a teacher, you must be pure and innocent." Hua Linmao shook his head, "Teachers are like this, and policemen are like this. Yes. I think he lives an ordinary life, has an ordinary job, and doesn’t have to face so many dangers and criticisms.”

Liu Zhiqin remembered that Hua Chong had talked with him about being admitted to the police academy.

The young boy is the most ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, the most yearning for blood and sweat, has not been polished by reality, has not been stained with a trace of dust, and regards ideals as more important than life.At this time, it is the most despised to talk to him about ordinaryness and stability.

"I want to be a special police officer, to fight against terrorism, to fight drugs, to make meritorious service... I have to leave Chuanming City, and I have wanted to leave for a long time." Hua Chong said: "My family disagrees, they want me to take an ordinary school entrance examination. In colleges and universities, you can either study economics, or study computer, which was very popular at the time, hey, if I really study computer, I will be your senior."

"But I don't." Hua Chong shook his coffee cup, "I was reckless at the time. The more they stopped me, the more I had to go to the police academy. Actually, I didn't expect them to control me, from junior high school to high school , they never cared about me, but suddenly came to take care of me when I filled out the college entrance examination..."

Pulling back his thoughts, Liu Zhiqin felt as if he had found the answer for Hua Chong.

"But he doesn't want to." Hua Linmao sighed, with regret in his words, but today, he has more pride, "It's also my fault, I cared too little for him, and in the end he didn't want to listen to me, and I also There is no position to persuade him like other fathers."

Enrolling in the police academy became a crucial turning point in Hua Chong's life.That summer, Hua Chong left Chuanming City and drifted away from his family.

"If you encounter criticism from the outside world, don't take it to your heart, and just have a clear conscience." As he spoke, Hua Linmao switched to the education mode unknowingly, and smiled helplessly after speaking, "Oh, it's my fault." said."

On the one hand, Liu Zhiqin was thinking about Hua Chong, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the case. Hua Linmao's words reminded him that the profession of a teacher is just like that of a policeman. bring disaster.

"May I ask, have you been criticized by others?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Hua Linmao looked down at the edge of the table, and after a while he said: "I divorced Hua Chong's mother, and later married my current wife. We are both married twice, and we each have children. This is actually just a private matter, but In those days, there were many people pointing fingers behind us. They felt that teachers shouldn’t get divorced, that divorce is a scandal, and any teacher who gets divorced must be indiscreet.”

"For several years in a row, I couldn't get a job title. It wasn't because of my teaching ability or qualifications. It was because my wife and I were married twice, which meant that there was a stain, and anyone could get a copy of it." Hua Hua Lin Mao smiled wryly, "We also admitted this later, but we don't want future generations to be like us and engage in jobs that require too much morality."

When Hua Chong returned to the Municipal Bureau, Hua Linmao had already left.

The dishes and soup were cold, so Liu Zhiqin warmed them up.Hua Chong ate, and he watched from the side.

When he first arrived in Los Angeles, he felt that if Hua Chong didn't become a policeman, he could start a food broadcast. Not to mention his appetite, he ate very fast, and everyone who was not hungry would have an appetite.

However, Hua Chong slowed down when eating the dishes delivered by Hua Linmao in the past few days. It was not the kind of slowness of chewing and swallowing carefully, but eating very politely without passion.

There is a estrangement with my family, and I can't help being polite when facing the meal sent by my family.

"I saw your dad today, and I chatted with him a little bit." Liu Zhiqin said suddenly.

"Ah?" Hua Chong paused with his chopsticks, "What are you talking about?"

"Just chatting casually for a while." Liu Zhiqin stood a little loosely, leaning against the table, looking sideways at Hua Chong.

Hua Chong understood him, and smiled, "If you really talked casually for a while, you wouldn't be so serious and report to me now. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Liu Zhiqin also smiled, "I can't hide anything from you."

Hua Chong put a piece of braised beef in the bowl.

"I remember you told me before that your father didn't want you to be a policeman when you filled out the volunteers for the college entrance examination." Liu Zhiqin said, "It happened that he also mentioned this to me today. He thought that the police are the same as teachers. The particularity will be magnified and judged by others. An ordinary thing, if it falls on people from other professions, will have different results than if it falls on police teachers.”

Hua Chong put down his chopsticks, his expression gradually became serious, "These are two professions that do not allow stains."

Liu Zhiqin said: "As for the two deceased and the two missing persons, except for Wang Yuxia, they are all teachers who have no stains in people's eyes. Even Wang Yuxia, her stains are rarely known."

After pondering for a moment, Hua Chong asked, "What's on your mind?"

Liu Zhiqin understood that Hua Chong already had a rough idea when he asked this question.

"The murderer made the corpse into a specimen, and the process was very rude. Is the model a real model, or is it a kind of irony?" Liu Zhiqin said: "Maybe what the murderer wants to convey is—look, this is the teacher role model in your heart, they Perfect and innocent, so what? They were killed by me."

"Then the opposite of the victim is the murderer." Hua Chong said: "A teacher who is constantly being denied because of a certain stain—or a close relative of the teacher."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Didn't Pei Qing say that the victim could not see much hatred from the murderer, but the murderer must have a strong hatred. His hatred does not lie in the teacher he killed, but in those who To those who criticize him."

Hua Chong closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, and opened them again after a few minutes, "But I think the murderer may not be denied just because of a certain stain. There are too many teachers like this. Similar cases This is the first time."

"The murderer suffered huge setbacks because he was not perfect?" Liu Zhiqin said while pacing, "To such an extent that paranoia requires killing innocent people to counter this hatred... I think the scope of our investigation seems to be acceptable. Make it smaller."

It was already the second day after Wang Yuxia and Zhang Xu were confirmed dead, and the Chuanming City police notified their families yesterday.Wang Yuxia's daughter came to hear the news in the middle of the night, crying and fainting.But Zhang Xu's parents arrived after a day, and their wrinkled faces were full of sorrow.

"He has never done anything sorry for the children. From becoming a teacher to now, he has devoted all his energy to school." Zhang's mother burst into tears, "He is not a bad teacher, why did he encounter such a thing?"

This sentence left all the criminal police present speechless.

If it is a teacher who bullies students, condones school violence, and treats students differently, is it understandable to encounter such a thing?

Will a teacher who has no stains be treated with respect and kindness?

The old man's cries echoed in the corridor, full of the despair of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man.

Hua Chong walked over and wanted to help the old man to the nearby police station to rest, but the other party knelt down and burst into tears, "My son shouldn't die, why are good people not rewarded? He said back then that he wanted to be a teacher, I shouldn't let him Going to be a teacher..."

"Teacher seems to be a high-risk profession." Hai Zi and Hua Chong sent Zhang Xu's parents to the guest house together, and sighed on the way back: "People praised you as an engineer of the human soul for a second, and now you are the engineer of the human soul." In a second, you may be devalued to nothing because of a wrong thing you did. This is still relatively light. If you have a big heart, you will not be so concerned about gains and losses, and you can almost survive. But if you encounter unreasonable If a person is unwilling to solve a problem properly and insists on using force, then the teacher will be in personal danger just like a doctor. Even if there is no stain, just like Zhang Xu, he still encountered such an indiscriminate disaster. Thinking about it, it is really... Flower team, did you listen to me?"

Hua Chong was looking at his phone, it was a link sent by Liu Zhiqin.

It's not that he deliberately ignored Hai Zi, but the content of the link attracted his attention.

Today, both online media and print media in Chuanming City have reported on the progress of the teacher's disappearance case. Citizens who are concerned about this matter know that two teachers from Nineteen Middle School and Jianshan Vocational High School have been confirmed to have been killed.Many people expressed their condolences on social media and condemned the murderer, and young people spontaneously sent flowers outside the walls of the two schools.

Since the police did not disclose details to the media, the media can convey very little information to the public, and this is the most focused case in Chuanming City in the past six months. All media want to make a bigger report. Since they cannot get the details of the case , then we can only dig out the deeds of the two victims before their lives and play a wave of emotional cards.

The deeds unearthed by the media are similar to those found by the Chuanming task force before the arrival of the special operations team—Wang Yuxia and Zhang Xu are impeccable teachers who know how to teach and how to behave. They can be called perfect teachers.

After the report was released, the comments were roughly divided into two types, one was moved to tears, and the other was angry denunciation, demanding that the police must catch the murderer and the court must impose the death penalty.

And this afternoon, the Post Bar of the [-]th High School reported that Wang Yuxia peeked at the male students taking a bath and forcibly entered the male students' bedrooms without permission.

The person who posted the post was Zhang Aiyi, a student Hua Chong had contacted.

In the breaking news post, Zhang Aiyi wrote: My boyfriend and I didn't want to talk about these things, but today's unscrupulous media reports made us very uncomfortable.Who is Wang Yuxia? Isn't it us students who are most qualified to judge?Do you know what she did to the male students living in her house?You don't know anything and say she is a role model for teachers?So what are the students who were hurt by her?I don't agree with the idea that "death is the most important thing", and I don't think that if Wang Yuxia is killed, what she did to my boyfriend can be written off.Teacher, teacher, she will not let go of underage boys. She is not worthy of being a teacher or being respected!

This post was quickly reposted on Weibo and several important public accounts in Chuanming City.

Such a reversal is "lovely" to the media, because what they need most is topics, and only topics can bring traffic, and unanimous praise cannot keep the popularity going.

Almost immediately, some online media interviewed Zhang Aiyi. Facing the camera, she was not stage-frightened and told the media again what she had said to Hua Chong.

In just a few hours, the wind direction on the Internet has been reversed.

"Peeping at a male student taking a shower? Is this kind of person worthy of being a teacher?"

"Discriminate against art students? This is too much, this art student has been offended."

"The media is so fucking cheap. This kind of teacher also used it to sing praises, deliberately deceiving people to tears, disgusting!"

"Why did it just come out now? What is the background of this Wang? He has been rated as the most popular head teacher by students in a row. The water in CNM No. [-] is very deep!"

"Sister and brother are brave, thank you for speaking up."

"Wang Yuxia's stains are probably more than these two, right? Have you heard of the cockroach theory? When you find a cockroach at home..."

"There must be other stains, this is just the tip of the iceberg."

"What about the teacher of Jianshan Vocational High School? Is it also a teacher with corrupt morals?"

"Who knows? I shed tears for them in the morning, and now I don't think it's worth the tears!"

"Is it possible that the murderer knew the good deeds of these teachers before killing them?"

"Is the killer a victim of teacher bullying?"

"Is the murderer killing harm for the people?"

"If a female student is harassed by a male teacher, the male teacher deserves to die. If a male student is harassed by a female teacher, shouldn't the female teacher deserve to die?"

Hai Zi and Hua Chong asked for a link, and after reading it, he said angrily: "This is too much, a moral stain is a moral stain, and a murder case is a murder case, how can the two be confused? Now there are still people who think that the murderer did a good job, Which one is better? Zhang Xu was also implicated, but he is really a good teacher who is dedicated to his students."

Hua Chong hurried back to the special operations team office, and saw Liu Zhiqin sitting in front of his notebook.

"This post is very sudden no matter who it is." Liu Zhiqin said: "Because there is no evidence yet, Wang Yuxia will not be stained by evidence in the future. She has changed from a teacher who is remembered and respected to a street rat. Public opinion has now reversed, you said the murderer saw the post, what do you think now?"

Hua Chong put one hand on the table, "He may feel that he killed the wrong person. But the most important thing now is not what the murderer is thinking, but what the netizens are talking about."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "I understand what you mean. Zhang Aiyi's post directly ignited public opinion, and the desire of netizens to tell us will provide us with a lot of important information. Don't worry, I'm already watching Yes. Even without Zhang Aiyi's fire, through investigation, people who fit the criminal profile can be found."

As the two of them expected, the post caused a wave of waves. On the Internet, some people picked up Wang Yuxia, and some people mentioned the vicious teachers they knew. Many names appeared in the comments, and each of them was recorded by the police as targets for investigation.

Suddenly, Hua Chong saw a familiar name—Hua Linmao.

It turned out that in his cognition, his father, who was dedicated to teaching, would also be a damn vicious teacher in the eyes of others.
