The Book of Death by Heart Poison

"Flower team, the power is off." Haizi turned on the flashlight, and after checking the main valve by the door, he asked, "Do you want to turn on the power now?"

Hua Chong looked at a certain position in the darkness, his brows furrowed tightly, "I don't need it for now."

All the detectives present knew exactly what the smell that was swelling in the air came from.Every body throwing site has this smell, the difference is only in the intensity.

This is not so much a facade as a remodeled residence.

The boxy rooms, separated by baffles, had mattresses, simple wardrobes, and a dry set of kitchen utensils.Zhao Tianjun emptied the personal items in the house in Weijia Lane and moved them here.

In the space demarcated by the last partition, there is a commercial freezer, and beside it is a long table that resembles a forensic dissection table. It is stained and covered with a dozen jars.

Due to the power outage, a puddle of water was accumulated under the freezer.

Hua Chong walked to the freezer, even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the person frozen inside, his pupils shrank tightly.

Under the transparent sliding door, lay a naked female corpse. Her eyes were staring abnormally. If you observe carefully, it is because her eyeballs have been gouged out and filled with two elastic balls.

After the power was cut off, the temperature in the freezer gradually approached normal temperature, and she was rotting.

"Let me do it." Pei Qing stepped forward, "Flower Team, you stand back."

The moment the sliding door opened, the stench of corpses overflowed on a large scale.

This scene was like a scene in a horror movie. Pei Qing bent down to observe the female corpse at close range. The female corpse had a strange face and piercing eyes.

Pei Qing and Haizi moved the body out together, Haizi said, "This is probably the No.3 missing person, Xu Yufan."

Although the face of the corpse was not seriously damaged, it was difficult to judge the identity based on the appearance alone due to the long time of death and the gouging out of the eyes.

Hua Chong went back to the door to observe the main valve. There was no obvious dust on it. The power outage may have happened after the bodies of Wang Yuxia and Zhang Xu were thrown at Minggang Primary School.

Powered on, the lights in the facade were brightly lit, Haizi started to take fingerprints on the main valve, and muttered while working: "Damn, why is this light like this?"

Hua Chong understood what Haizi meant.

The light in this facade is cold white, although bright, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

There were obvious bloodstains on the ground, tables and chairs, but they were not splashed like usual in murder cases, but dragged.The victim was dragged here and there like an animal. This is nothing but a cruel slaughterhouse.

"There is a set of fingerprints." Haizi frowned, "But it's a bit strange."

Hua Chong turned around, "What's so strange?"

"It's easy to keep fingerprints like this kind of master valve, first because of the material of the carrier, and second because generally few people will touch it." Haizi said: "Once fingerprints are left on it, they can be preserved for several months. But All I got was new fingerprints."

Hua Chongdao: "Someone recently cleaned up the master valve and erased all the previous fingerprints?"

Haizi nodded, "It should be like this. But it's also very contradictory. Under normal circumstances, who would have nothing to clean the master valve? It should be because someone was worried that their fingerprints would be left on it, so they erased it. But why are there still fingerprints on it? New fingerprints?"

"Because there are two people who came in and out of here, Zhao Tianjun, and the mysterious person who was waiting for him in the van." Hua Chong looked serious, "Go back first to make sure who left the fingerprints, I suspect that something happened between these two people. kind of contradiction."

Haizi was surprised, "Huh?"

"This facade seems to have been abandoned, the power was cut off, and the corpse was left to rot in the freezer. Zhao Tianjun, who was supposed to appear here, has disappeared." Hua Chong said: "Not long ago, the bodies of Wang Yuxia and Zhang Xu were still there. He was thrown in Minggang Primary School with a sense of ritual. If I were the murderer, I would not run away at this time, at least I should have presented Xu Yufan's body to the police."

"Zhao Tianjun was able to find a helper. I've never been able to figure this out." Haizi said, "How could someone be willing to help him with such a thing?"

The only thing Hua Chong can think of is the boy who was brought home by Zhao Tianjun.

The autopsy and on-site investigation were carried out at the same time. After DNA comparison, the female corpse in the freezer was determined to be the teacher Xu Yufan who disappeared during the winter vacation this year. Her liver and kidneys were still in the body. All died of arsenic poisoning.

After comparing the large amount of bloodstains that Haizi collected at the facade, it was confirmed that they belonged to Wang Yuxia, Zhang Xu, Xu Yufan, and Jia Bing. The bodies of the first three have been found. Jia Bing was still alive when he was at the facade. live but cannot judge.

In addition to the fingerprints on the facade, Haizi also found two sets of different footprints, one of which belonged to Zhao Tianjun—the fingerprints on the chief lord also belonged to Zhao Tianjun, while the other set was consistent with the footprints in Jia Bing’s home, which indicated that Jia Bing was taken away. Alive at the gate.

The missing Zhao Tianjun and the mysterious person who appeared in his car are major suspects.

Chuanming City Bureau, temporary office of special operations team.

"I suspect that Zhao Tianjun and the others were too late to deal with Jia Bing, so they took them away, and I don't know where to throw them now." Haizi said: "The previous three cases were all investigated by the Chuanming City police. After Jia Bing disappeared, we coming."

Pei Qing glanced at Haizi, "You are assuming that Jia Bing has been killed."

"Isn't it?" Hai Zi said: "You did the autopsy, you still don't know how insane the murderer is? The missing teachers were all killed and then turned into rotten specimens. Jia Bing might still be alive? Not me Negative, but based on the analysis of the situation of the first three victims, Jia Bing has also been killed with a high probability."

Pei Qing shook her head, "If you haven't found the body, you can't easily draw conclusions."

Listening to the dispute between the two, Hua Chong closed his eyes and thought.

Before the results of the bloodstain comparison came out, he was just as lucky as the rest of the team——of the four missing cases, perhaps only the first three were serial murders. As for the No. It doesn't matter, because his body was not found in the facade, and the murderer had no reason to leave Xu Yufan's body, but just took him away.

The result of the comparison tore up this luck, and Jia Bing, the No.4 missing person, was also a key link in this series of murders.

But this brings up a new question—why was Jia Bing taken away?

There are only two footprints inside the facade, Zhao Tianjun and Jia Bing, and only Zhao Tianjun's fingerprints.Zhao Tianjun's helper must have appeared in front of the door, but left no footprints. There is only one possibility. He erased his own footprints and fingerprints, but left Zhao Tianjun's on purpose.

From these details, it can be deduced that the mysterious man wants to get out of this serial murder and let Zhao Tianjun bear all the charges.

But simply erasing his own footprints and fingerprints is obviously not enough. Zhao Tianjun knows everything about him, just as he knows everything about Zhao Tianjun.

As long as Zhao Tianjun can still speak, he won't be considered to have truly escaped unscathed.

Unless Zhao Tianjun is killed.

Hua Chong took a deep breath and rubbed his fingers on his chin.

Liu Zhiqin had been staring at him for a long time, and said, "Flower team?"

Hua Chong turned his face away, met Liu Zhiqin's eyes, stood up for a moment, "Come out with me for a walk."

In the corridor, the criminal police from the City Bureau hurried, and when they passed by Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin, they all stopped to say hello, embarrassingly shouting "Flower Team".

They are all members of Yuan Tie, influenced by Yuan Tie, they have some opinions on the special operations team.Previously, Hua Chong believed that the murderer and the victim were both teachers, and because of their own misfortunes, they took revenge on those perfect teachers in the eyes of the public. This profile was too bold, and was scoffed at by Yuan Tie and others.

Until now, the fog of the case had gradually lifted, revealing the dark madness in the thick clouds, and everyone was surprised that this criminal policeman from the capital was not just putting on airs.

When going downstairs, the two met Yuan Tie by chance.

Yuan Tie's face was ugly, reflecting the contradiction in his heart - he was both dissatisfied and convinced.

What I am dissatisfied with is the case that I have tried my best to find a breakthrough, and the special operations team cleared the fog as soon as it came;

Hua Chong has never been in the habit of showing off to others, and he has always been business-like when working, not dealing with people but only dealing with things.At best it sounds like he is open-minded, at worst it is because he doesn't like to put irrelevant people in his eyes.He went everywhere to solve mysterious cases quickly, not to make friends.

So when Yuan Tie looked at him vigilantly, thinking that he was going to show off to him, he just nodded politely and continued to stay with Liu Zhiqin.

Yuan Tie stood on the spot, looking at the backs of the two, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Listen to my thoughts. I think the first half makes sense, but I haven't straightened out the second half." Hua Chong said: "For more than ten years, Zhao Tianjun has been unable to accept being fired. He is located in the Wei family. Xiangzi’s family still keeps the old textbooks and students’ papers, and he can’t let go of his job as a teacher. But this job brought him leg problems, abuse from the outside world, and his relatives left him.”

"After moving to Weijia Alley, he was depressed for a while, and then he had to go to the street to sell braised vegetables in order to make a living." Hua Chong continued: "His braised vegetables stall has no sanitation permit, and he may be driven away by the urban management at any time, but the income Much higher than when he was a primary school teacher. But the money didn't break him out. He was in this position before - teaching is a respected profession."

As he spoke, Hua Chong raised his right hand, then sank down, "Now he is in this position - the peddler is driven away and insulted, and he thinks he is losing his dignity. Over time, his unwillingness turned into resentment, and he hates those who made him A person who can’t be a teacher can’t take revenge on those people. What do they say when they scold him? Zhao Tianjun is a scum of a teacher? As a teacher, you must be fired."

Hua Chong walked forward slowly, "At a certain moment, Zhao Tianjun's unwillingness and resentment suddenly turned to a teacher who was completely different from him. He thought that there was no problem with the quality of teaching, and he rescued students regardless of his own safety at critical moments, but it was only because He has shortcomings and is not perfect, so he has become the scum of countless people. Why? Can't the teacher have shortcomings? Does the teacher have to be perfect? ​​If the teacher makes a mistake, he should be beaten to death with a stick? Why do you have to take ' "Perfect" as a teacher's benchmark? Can't a teacher be an ordinary person?"

"Every time he hears that a school has selected a model teacher, he feels irony when he hears that name and looks at that person." Hua Chong said: "When a person's psychology is distorted to a certain extent, he begins to become It's extremely unreasonable. Are you praising model teachers just to knock down imperfect teachers like me? Then if there is no model teacher, can you accept a less than perfect teacher like me?"

After a while, Hua Chong said again: "Many years ago, Zhao Tianjun planted the seeds of deformity in his heart. He passed on his misfortune to the perfect teacher and planned revenge. But because of his leg disease, he couldn't carry out revenge alone. .”

Liu Zhiqin said, "That boy."

Hua Chong's eyes brightened, "Yes, that's the boy."

"Zhao Tianjun needs a helper. He must obey him at critical moments. In a sense, he is the master of this helper." Hua Chong said: "Who is the young man and how did he meet Zhao Tianjun? There are no clues yet. What I can infer is that the young man was helpless when he met Zhao Tianjun, and Zhao Tianjun already had savings by buying stewed vegetables, so it was very easy for him to save a lonely young man."

"Zhao Tianjun knew the boy's life experience, consciously instilled his own ideas into the boy, and 'reformed' the boy into what he wanted step by step." Hua Chong said: "After many years, the boy has become an adult and can implement for Zhao Tianjun. Revenge, so their plan started. Last year, Zhao Tianjun moved out from the alley of Weijia where he lived for more than ten years, rented the front of the deserted shopping mall, bought freezers, and 'rented cars', just for the convenience of committing crimes and making specimens. I just It’s all going well so far, and the problem comes after this——Why did Zhao Tianjun and his assistant get into a dispute?”

Liu Zhiqin said: "People's thoughts are changing all the time. You just said that the boy was helpless and was rescued by Zhao Tianjun. He was still young, and his feelings for Zhao Tianjun were gratitude. He accepted whatever Zhao Tianjun taught him. Even if Zhao Tianjun asked him to help kill people. But now that he is an adult, he can think for himself, will he ask himself—why should I be Zhao Tianjun's executioner?"

"But he has already done it. If the first murder has not happened, he can call the police, but after killing Wang Yuxia, he and Zhao Tianjun were tied to the same boat. Zhao Tianjun wanted to continue killing teachers, but he wanted to stop it all , the only way to get him out perfectly is to let Zhao Tianjun die, and let all the cases be 'self-produced and sold'." Hua Chong said: "The traces on the facade actually reflect his thoughts. He has never been exposed to the sight of the police. Among them, if Zhao Tianjun’s neighbors hadn’t said that they had seen Zhao Tianjun bring a boy to the house many times many times ago, we wouldn’t even have thought of his existence.”

Hearing this, Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "But as long as we find out about Zhao Tianjun, it's only a matter of time before we learn of his existence. There are so many people in the alley of the Wei family, there will always be someone who remembers that Zhao Tianjun brought a boy home."

Hua Chong's eyes twitched, "That's true."

"The current clues all point to a conclusion, that is, Zhao Tianjun and his assistant had conflicts, and the assistant wanted to push all this to Zhao Tianjun. You just said that the assistant is not willing to participate in these cases anymore, but I have another idea." Liu Zhi Qin said: "At the age when human nature is formed, living with an extremely distorted person for a long time and being forced to accept his point of view, can a boy grow up to be a normal person? The boy is a student of Zhao Tianjun. This student may More sinister than the teacher."

Hua Chong was silent for a moment, "That's the truth. It's hard to say whether Zhao Tianjun is dead or alive, but this assistant must have murderous intentions for him. What I don't understand the most is why they left the No.3 missing person Xu Yu Fan, and take away No.4 missing person Jia Bing. There are Jia Bing's footprints on the facade, maybe Jia Bing was not dead when he was taken away. What is their purpose?"

It was afternoon at this time, the two of them walked casually on the street after leaving the city bureau, and they walked to the back door of No. [-] Middle School before they knew it.

Liu Zhiqin stopped in his tracks and looked up at the school gate that looked quite old.

The students were all in class, and the school gate was very quiet, except for a few vendors pushing their carts to prepare for the business after school in the afternoon.

Hua Chong remembered that when he first arrived in Chuanming City, he said he would take Liu to Qin to visit his alma mater, but he couldn't do it because he was getting busier every day.

"Flower team." Liu Zhiqin's tone was much more relaxed than before, "What did you like to eat after school?"

Hua Chong didn't react for a while, "Eat?"

The peddler Liu Zhiqin raised his chin, "It's those snacks, they're available outside every school."

"That..." Hua Chong thought for a while, "I never ate in front of the school before."

Liu Zhiqing raised her eyebrows, showing disbelief.

No wonder he didn't believe it. In the national military and police joint training camp, Hua Chong was the one who was the most active in eating. Later, he was transferred from the information warfare team to Los Angeles. Hua Chong took him out for extra meals in the middle of the night. He saw him again. Hua Chong's appetite.

Now Hua Chong told him that he never ate at the school gate when he was studying, not to mention that he didn't believe it, and Erwa wouldn't believe it either.

"Don't you believe me?" Hua Chong said, "I'm not lying to you."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "Why?"

As far as he knew, Hua Chong had a bad time in high school because of family reasons.But Hua Linmao didn't skimp on money, Hua Chong wanted to buy a skewer, but he could still afford it.

Hua Chong touched the back of his neck, "Don't laugh after I told you."

"Well, don't laugh."

"At that time, I felt good about myself."

"..."

"I don't think handsome guys can just eat casually at the school gate. A bowl of noodles in the left hand and a skewer in the right. What does it look like?"

Liu Zhiqin couldn't help but laugh, "So I paid so much attention to image at that time."

Hua Chongzheng was about to nod, when he suddenly gave Liu Zhiqin a look, "Now I'm also paying attention to my image."

"Oh." Liu Zhiqin pointed to a stall selling finger cakes, "Do you want to eat?"

Hua Chong: "..."

to eat.
