The Book of Death by Heart Poison

In the southern suburb of Chuanming, Fengjia Village.

The gray van was parked by the village fish market.Fengjia Village is adjacent to a river, and many villagers rely on the water for water and do river fish business.Every morning, the fish market is very lively, with a large number of merchants who come from Chuanming City and other places to wholesale fish.

The fish market in Fengjia Village is not a large fish market, and the supply is limited. Most of the traders who come to pick up goods are vans and small trucks.A gray van was parked there, unobtrusive.

Occasionally, a passing vendor covered his mouth and nose and said, "Why is it so smelly here?"

The fellow traveler laughed and said, "This is a fish market. Which fish market doesn't smell bad? You come here every week to buy fish, haven't you gotten used to it?"

"It doesn't smell like fish, why do I think it's rancid?"

"The rotten smell is also normal. It's getting hotter and hotter. If some fish die and are not dealt with in time, wouldn't it be rotten and smelly?"

"That's right. Oh, hurry up and buy it back, it stinks."

When the police found Fengjia Village, the fish market was organizing villagers to clean up.Every household distributed cans of disinfectant and asked to "sweep the snow in front of each door" to clean the inside and outside of their stores.

Haizi has sharp eyes, and from a short distance, he saw the gray van at a glance.

It wasn't until the criminal police pulled up the cordon that the traders and fish market villagers who came and went knew that the stench that had permeated the past few days was not rotten fish at all, and their cleaning was in vain.

There was a murder case in the fish market, and it wasn't fish that died, but people.

The glass of the gray van is covered with a dark film. If you don't close it, you won't be able to see clearly what's going on inside.

Standing by the sliding door on the right, Hua Chong wiped the car body with gloves on, and the gloves were immediately stained with a thin layer of dust.It looks like the car has been parked here for a while.

The van has a total of three rows of seats. When it is used to pull goods, the back two rows are often removed-this is the case with many pulling vans around.

But the gray van has only the third row of seats removed, and a peek through the glass reveals a dark cargo bag.

"Flower Team, I'm going to open the door." Haizi said.

Hua Chong nodded, "Open it."

The car door is locked, but it is not difficult for Hai Zi to unlock it.

There was only a "crash", followed by a more intense stench.

It was afternoon at this time, and there was very little business in the fish market. All the villagers crowded outside the cordon and looked inside curiously.Most of them were not wearing masks, and as soon as the smell from the van gushed out, the crowd immediately erupted in exclamation, and then retreated a few steps neatly.

Pei Qing entered the van from the side door and carefully touched the cargo bag.

This is a very ordinary waterproof cargo bag. It is strong and will not break easily even if it is dragged on the ground.Pei Qing flicked it lightly and found the zipper.

At this time, Haizi opened the back door of the van.

"Damn! It stinks even more!" Haizi frowned fiercely, reached out to pull Pei Qing, "Do you want to open the bag inside?"

"Let me confirm first." Pei Qing slowly unzipped the zipper, and a face that was so swollen that it was difficult to judge her identity suddenly appeared.

In the narrow space, the smell of corpses strongly stimulated the sense of smell.

The broken eyebrow that Pei Qing re-engraved not long ago twitched slightly, enduring the stench, and pulled down all the zippers.

In the cargo bag was a man with gray hair, wearing a cheek T-shirt from the supermarket on his upper body, a pair of brown loose trousers on his lower body, no shoes, his eyes and tongue protruded, his face was purple and swollen, and his neck was below the thyroid cartilage There is an obvious groove-like indentation in a circle, which is dark brown leather-like.

Hua Chong stood by the back door, looked at the deceased together with Pei Qing, "Is it strangled?"

Pei Qing opened the eyelids of the dead body, then hugged the head of the deceased with both hands, looked around, and nodded, "There are many bleeding spots, bleeding in the nasal cavity and ear canal, and foamy liquid remains. According to the characteristics of the body surface, it can be preliminarily judged to be It was strangled to death with a thinner rope. But it still needs to be taken back for an autopsy to check the internal organs and respiratory system."

Hua Chong asked, "How long has it been since you died?"

"Hair falls off easily, a large area of ​​corrupt blood vessel network appears, and the abdomen swells. Recently, the temperature has started to rise, but it is not too hot. The death time has been at least five days." Pei Qing said.

Haizi looked serious, "Looking at his clothes and age, this man is Zhao Tianjun who hasn't run away. If the mysterious man is indeed Jia Bing, then Jia Bing drove him and threw him here, taking advantage of the chaos and leaving."

The word "chaotic" is a portrayal of the fish market in Fengjia Village.

Fengjia Village used to be a very poor village. The villagers only knew how to fish from the river, but they didn't know how to raise fish, let alone do business.In the past few years, only young people came back from outside and organized villagers to engage in breeding.Slowly, because of the proximity to Chuanming City, the demand was strong, and the fish market was gradually built up, and after the scale was formed, there were regular customers.

But the business is good, but the management of the fish market has not kept up with it at all. There is no monitoring and security equipment at all.

Liu Zhiqin walked around the fish market and found that it was a "good place" to dump the corpse.

On the one hand, the fish market is already stinky, which can cover up the smell of corpses to a certain extent.On the other hand, vans are very common in the fish market, and they are basically the vehicles that pull goods, and there are too many people entering and leaving the fish market, and the traces around the vehicle can be covered up in one morning.

The murderer threw the corpse here, naturally hoping that the corpse would be found, but before it was discovered, he needed a few days to prepare.

"I really didn't notice when this car came here. We have too many cars here, and the vans are all the same." Boss Chen, one of the managers of the fish market, said with a sad face: "I have too many things to do in a day, it is impossible Go watch someone else's car."

"If you want to say smelly, I will remember it." A fishmonger at a stall said: "Yesterday, a customer complained to me that our fish market is getting more and more smelly. I told him it was the smell of fish, and he said It's rancid. I thought that several fish in my house had died, and they were already smelly, so I explained it to him. Hey, it turned out to be dead people."

Liu Zhiqin asked several people one after another, but the other party couldn't tell when the gray van appeared, and no one noticed what the person who got out of the car looked like.

Like a ghost ship, the gray van appears silently as its occupant departs, leaving behind a decaying corpse.

Pei Qing brought the corpse back to the Municipal Bureau for autopsy and DNA comparison, and the on-site investigation continued.

"The inside and outside of the van has been thoroughly cleaned, there is alcohol residue, and no fingerprints were found on the steering wheel, door handles and other key parts." Haizi picked up a small evidence bag, "But in the gap between the middle row seats, a hair was found .”

Hua Chong looked at the short hair, with hair follicles visible at the root, which can be used as a key piece of evidence.

However, the hair is most likely put down on purpose by the murderer, just like the bloodstain on the facade.

In the evening, the technical work ended one after another.

After autopsy, Pei Qing found that the submuscular layer of Legou had obvious hemorrhage, the thyroid, pharyngeal mucosa, and tonsils all had congestion, the thyroid cartilage was fractured, and visceral asphyxia was obvious.The cause of death was determined to be mechanical asphyxia caused by strangulation.

In addition, the deceased's limbs had many restraint injuries during his lifetime, foreign objects had been stuffed into his mouth, and there were sticky residues around his lips, which indicated that the deceased had been bound for a long time before being killed and was unable to make a sound.

DNA comparison confirmed that the deceased was Zhao Tianjun, the person connected to the three murders.

The hair that Haizi found on the seat belonged to Jia Bing.

"I suddenly understood why this hair appeared." Haizi gritted his teeth with hatred, "The van was cleaned so that no fingerprints were left, and there was actually a hair with a follicle! He did it on purpose. Stay in the middle row of seats. Even if we are sure that he is in the car based on his hair, he can explain that he was escorted to the car by Zhao Tianjun and the mysterious man, Zhao Tianjun and the mysterious man had internal quarrels, and finally the mysterious man killed Zhao Tianjun."

Pei Qing nodded, "In this way, he is not only the only survivor of the serial murder case, but also the only witness."

Xu Xiaozhou looked at Hua Chong, "The suspect died, Team Hua, what should we do next?"

Hua Chong looked down at the autopsy report, and said after a while: "Wait."

Xu Xiaozhou was surprised, "Wait?"

"The existing clues are enough to support our inference-there is no mysterious person at all. Jia Bing is the boy who was brought home by Zhao Tianjun, and he was also Zhao Tianjun's helper." Hua Chong leaned on the back of the chair, with one hand on the On the edge of the table, "Jia Bing used the student's self-directed and self-acted disappearance, and then stood in Zhao Tianjun's perspective, dumped the body in Minggang Elementary School, finally abandoned the facade, threw Xu Yufan in the freezer, killed Zhao Tianjun, and parked the van in a crowded place. Fengjia Village fish market, his purpose is very clear, that is to throw all the blame on Zhao Tianjun and the mysterious man, and he is just an innocent person who was almost killed."

Hua Chong paused, and then said: "The reason why he made such a complicated circle is because he has been influenced by Zhao Tianjun for a long time, and his psychology has long been distorted. Under Zhao Tianjun's plan, he killed Wang Yuxia, Zhang Xu, Xu Yu Fan and the three of them, he knew that he had no way to break free from the quagmire, and Zhao Tianjun still wanted him to continue killing unstained teachers. The more missing teachers, the more police forces would be invested. He thought that one day, he would be hard-pressed. escape the law."

"When he was young, he had nothing, and the only person he could rely on was Zhao Tianjun. Because he was young, it was difficult to tell right from wrong. He believed in everything Zhao Tianjun instilled in him." Hua Chong continued: "But now, when he has a career, he has After losing his foothold, he began to reflect, and then regretted, and found that he was just a tool used by Zhao Tianjun for revenge. Zhao Tianjun was indifferent to being arrested, but he didn't want to be a puppet anymore, but he had already killed someone , He still wants to live like a normal person, the only way out is to kill Zhao Tianjun, and blame Zhao Tianjun and that mysterious person who doesn't exist at all."

Xu Xiaozhou's eyes lit up, "So that's the meaning of 'waiting'?"

"Yes." Hua Chong said: "Jia Bing has done so much, and the ultimate goal is to return to society as a survivor. He will not disappear forever, and he will definitely appear again."

"But there is a problem." Haizi was worried, "Whether Jia Bing appeared in front of Zhao Tianjun or in the van, he is in line with his status as a 'survivor'. He can say that he was killed by Zhao Tianjun from the front." Take him to the van with the mysterious man, and the mysterious man kills Zhao Tianjun and takes him to another place. This logic is seamless."

Hua Chong shook his head, "When he appears, he will definitely reveal his flaws. But the 'waiting' I just said doesn't mean doing nothing, waiting for him to come to your door. The reason why Jia Bing planned his own disappearance was to From the perspective of the victim, he is digging a hole for the police, making it difficult for the police to doubt him. Not only do they not suspect him, but they will believe everything he, the 'sole survivor' and 'the only witness' said. But we Now that we have jumped out of that hole, we can do some preparations before he 'comes back'."

The appearance of the three corpses set off an uproar in Chuanming City, and the media rushed to report.Under the instruction of the Special Operations Team, the Municipal Bureau held a briefing on Zhao Tianjun's death, and almost all the citizens were discussing the killing of teachers by teachers.

At the briefing, the Municipal Bureau specifically mentioned that there is still one suspect who has not been arrested, and that Mr. Jia Bing, the No. 4 missing person, may still be alive.

For the teachers and students of No. [-] Middle School, this is undoubtedly good news.

Fu Jun, the rich second generation, is not bad at heart. During this period of time, he has fallen into extreme self-blame because of Jia Bing's disappearance. When he heard that Jia Bing might not have been killed, he immediately organized a blessing activity for his classmates.

Although No. [-] Middle School regards learning as the top priority, it is not easy to stop the blessing activities under the long guns and short guns of the media.

The police conducted an intensive investigation centering on the fish market in Fengjia Village.

The special operations team once again came to the new campus of No. [-] Middle School.

"Have you found Teacher Jia?" The grade director immediately asked nervously when he saw Hua Chong, "Is he still alive?"

"Still searching." Hua Chong said, "I came here today mainly to understand one thing."

The grade director sighed, "Say it."

Hua Chong said: "Teacher Jia is a mathematics teacher, so he won't be watching the morning reading?"

"It is the English teacher and the Chinese teacher who observe the morning reading, and the head teacher will also come to the class most of the time." The grade teacher said: "Ms. Jia is not the head teacher, and he did not follow the requirements of the early reading."

"So it doesn't matter if he arrives later in the morning?" Hua Chong said, "Do you have any requirements for the single subject teachers to arrive at school?"

The grade director said: "There are no hard and fast rules, but the students in our school are self-aware, and the teachers also have a sense of responsibility. Even if the teachers of a single subject do not have classes in the first or second periods in the morning, they will basically come to the office, with some exceptions."

Hua Chong asked, "Has Teacher Jia been late?"

"This..." The grade director thought for a while, "Not this semester, but I remember he was late a few times last semester."

Hua Chong said, "Do you still remember the specific date?"

"Let me look through the work records." The grade director took out a thick black leather book, and smiled awkwardly before opening it, "We don't check when the teachers arrive on duty. I have been the grade director for many years, and I am used to recording every I will make a note of the arrival status of a teacher, whoever arrives late one day, this is just my personal behavior, please don't tell the media."

Hua Chong said: "No."

Although this is only an insignificant detail, it is enough to see how much pressure is placed on the shoulders of the teachers.There are countless pairs of eyes on the teacher in the society, as long as there is a slight mistake, it may be used as a fuss.

The grade director was afraid that the outside world would find out that he had recorded the teacher's arrival, and he was walking on eggshells, which made people feel a little sad.

"On the morning of October 10 last year, Jia Bing had classes in the fourth and fifth periods, and he did not arrive at the office until 26 o'clock, which did not delay teaching." The grade director read the scribbled notes, "On the morning of December 9 last year, Jia Bing There was a lesson in the second period of the first period, and I switched to the afternoon with Teacher Mi, and I arrived at the office at 12:4, and the teaching was not delayed."

The morning of October 10th, the morning of December 26th was the morning after Wang Yuxia and Zhang Xu were killed!

As for the third case, Xu Yufan was killed during the winter vacation, and only the third and third grades of No. [-] Middle School started early.

Hua Chong had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he didn't seem surprised, and continued to ask calmly: "Except for these two days, Teacher Jia has never been late?"

The grade director said: "Well, he is a very conscientious teacher."

"Then did he say why he was late these two days?"

"I said, I feel a little uncomfortable when I get sick in different seasons."

Hua Chong said again: "Do you still have the schedule record for evening self-study?"

The grade director is old and used to taking notes with paper and pen. The evening self-study schedule was recorded on the computer, and he fiddled with it for a while before pointing it out.

There is an unwritten rule in the No. [-] Middle School - teachers who lead ordinary classes can teach three classes at the same time, while teachers who lead experimental classes can only focus on one class.

Therefore, Jia Bing only leads 20 classes, and the teachers of evening self-study and other subjects are evenly distributed. They either attend one night or two and a half quarters a week.

"Don't look at the schedule like this, but the teachers won't go back early just because they don't have to study late at night." The grade director explained: "Even if Teacher Jia doesn't study late at night, he still stays in the office. You can ask him questions."

Hua Chong noticed that on October 10th and December 25rd, Jia Bing had no evening self-study arrangements.He can choose to stay in the office, or he can choose to leave school to do something else.

"Did Mr. Jia ask you for leave around this time?" Hua Chong clicked on the two dates.

"How do you know?" The grade director was a little surprised, and picked up the black leather notebook again, "Ms. Jia seldom asks for leave, that is, in late October and early December, she asked for leave a few times in a row, all because of physical discomfort."

Leaving the grade director's office, Hua Chong met Fu Jun in the corridor.

Fu Jun was no longer what he first saw. He looked anxious, with regret written all over his face, "You will find Teacher Jia, right?"

Hua Chong sighed, "We will find him."

Fu Jun smiled ugly, "When he returns safely, I will apologize to him face to face."

Hua Chong led him to the balcony on the side of the corridor, "Mr. Jia didn't say anything to you before he disappeared?"

Fu Jun was a little surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Score." Hua Chong said, "For example, I have told you many times that the monthly exam is difficult. If you are not serious, you may lose the ordinary class."

"Ah!" Fu Jun's face changed, "I did a lot of questions wrong, and Teacher Jia called me several times. Every time I listened to him finish the questions, I was very anxious."

Hua Chong asked, "Why are you anxious?"

Fu Jun said: "Because I found that I couldn't understand at all."

Hua Chong said: "You have been in the experimental class for the previous few exams. It stands to reason that even if you can't solve the problem, you won't be able to understand it after the teacher explained it."

"Really. That's why I was in a hurry. I didn't know what to do. I was called to the office by him for the last time. I heard that he gave out the math papers this time. I, I thought of the crooked road." Fu Jun stammered. .

Hua Chong said: "Do you still keep the steps of Teacher Jia's lecture at that time?"

Fu Jun immediately brought some test papers with two kinds of handwriting on them, one of which was Jia Bing's.

Hua Chong took a photo of the test paper and sent it to Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin was at Jia Bing's home in Shifeng Xiaoyuan, and soon replied: "It's a difficult problem, but there is a conventional solution. Jia Bing deliberately explained it to Fu Jun with a partial competition idea. Fu Jun can understand it at his level. No wonder."

Half a minute later, Liu Zhiqin directly dialed a phone call, "A convenience store outside Shifeng Xiaoyuan provided surveillance records half a year ago. The day after Xu Yufan was killed, the surveillance captured Zhao Tianjun's gray van. Get up and down."
