The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Before Hua Chong got out of the car, he saw a group of criminal policemen walking quickly, and the leader raised his hand and shouted: "Flower team!"

Hua Chong didn't know the newcomer, nor did the rest of the special operations team.

Lao Fu said: "That's our Gong team. He wanted to go to the airport to pick you up in person, and then he went straight to the bar where the murder happened. But he really didn't have time, so he let me go. Don't take it seriously. , Team Gong definitely didn’t mean to neglect you guys on purpose.”

Hua Chong naturally wouldn't hold grudges because of this kind of thing.When a homicide case occurs within the jurisdiction, the local police are under the greatest pressure. According to the division of responsibilities, the captain of the criminal investigation has the heaviest burden.Hua Chong has a deep understanding.

After saying hello, a group of people walked to the office building.

Gong Xian was the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Qiancheng City Bureau. He was in his forties and didn't have to investigate the case himself, but the familiar word "hate" beside Yu Jun made Qiancheng tense up and he had to put on his clothes.

Seven years ago, when the "Hate Killer" killed three women, he was a member of the task force.For the past seven years, the "Hateful Killer" has always been a thorn in his body. On the one hand, he is afraid that the "Hateful Killer" will appear again, and on the other hand, he hopes that the "Hateful Killer" will appear again so that the police can bring him to justice. Law.

Unlike Yuan Tie, another deputy leader of the Special Operations Team that they met in Chuanming City not long ago, Gong Xian was calm, humble, and much more sophisticated. Team to the scene of the crime.

The "tLN" bar is located in a densely populated nightlife street in the center of Qiancheng, surrounded by many bars of the same size.At present, the "tLN" bar has been cordoned off and closed, and the business of several nearby bars has also been greatly affected.

As soon as Hua Chong arrived at the place, he felt familiar.

This kind of nightlife street can be found in almost every city. As lively as it is at night, it can be as depressed in the morning. "Chaos" is their common theme.

It is precisely because of the "chaos" that this kind of place has always been a high-incidence area for criminal cases.

Before becoming the captain of the serious crime team in Los Angeles, Hua Chong went to various bars many times because of the case.However, after becoming the captain, the number of times he went to the bar to investigate cases decreased.Because most of the cases that happened in bars were crimes of passion, it was not difficult to find the murderer.

But obviously, Qiancheng's case is not simple.

The "tLN" bar is medium-sized, has two floors, and has been open for more than ten years. The place where Yu Jun was killed was a lounge that was not monitored. The location of the body was marked with a white line. Uncleaned.

"The most troublesome part of this case is that Yu Jun is considered a celebrity, and he doesn't want to face the camera during non-working hours, and the bachelor party on the night of the 18th was reserved and there were no other guests, so his classmate, that is, the wedding the next day After discussing with the bar owner, Yuan Lixi, the groom’s groom, turned off most of the surveillance in the bar.” Gong Xian said: “Only the front and rear two entrances and exits are kept. There was originally a camera outside the lounge. If it was turned on, Surely there will be footage of the murderer entering and exiting the break room, but now... alas!"

Liu Zhiqin said: "I'll adjust the surveillance at the front and rear doors first."

Hua Chong nodded and said to Gong Xian, "I want to meet the owner of the bar."

The owner of the bar is a woman in her 30s, named Lin Chao, with short hair that sticks to her scalp, and tattoos of saints and angels on her arms and neck.She looked a little haggard, shaking off the ash on the cigarette, her voice was low and hoarse, "If I knew this kind of thing would happen, I wouldn't fucking sell Yuan Lixi this favor."

Hua Chong asked: "Do you know the groom Yuan Lixi?"

"I know him. When he first started working, he often came to me to drink away his worries." Lin Chao said, "It's a lot of pressure to be a salesman. Later, he got a girlfriend and was under supervision, so he gradually calmed down. He is here. But he is my old customer. He will invite friends to come and have a sit-down every year. Just last month, he told me that the wedding will be in June, and he wants to hold a bachelor party before the wedding. I booked the place here, I collected the money, and everything was arranged, but a while ago he suddenly came to me and said he wanted to turn off the surveillance.”

As he said that, Lin Chao's face showed obvious irritability, "Hey, you can go out and find out whether my place has the most complete monitoring system among all the bars in Qiancheng. I'm afraid something will happen."

Lin Chaoyue said more and more excitedly, "Yuan Lixi said that one of his classmates has an Internet celebrity, and he doesn't like to be photographed, so he has to turn off the surveillance."

Hua Chong said: "So you closed it?"

Lin Chao sighed, "We talk about interpersonal relationships here, and booking a venue is considered a big business. He is getting married again. I can't agree to such a festive event, so I sold his favor. He must regret it now, right?" The one who found the body was my waiter. The little girl screamed, and a group of people came over. Yuan Lixi and I were at the front. I’m okay. When he saw the person lying on the ground, he fell all at once go down."

Hua Chong remembered a detail he learned from the Qiancheng police—after the body was discovered, the bar fell into chaos, and many people gathered inside and outside the lounge. Although Lin Chao called the police in time, when the police from the police station arrived at the scene, the footprints and other traces had been destroyed .

More importantly, the murderer probably took advantage of the chaos and fled from the bar.

"Are Yuan Lixi's guests coming to the bar on the night of the 18th?" Hua Chong asked, "Can people who have nothing to do with them come in?"

"I can't, but this is a bar, not a membership-only club, and I can't take care of someone sneaking in." Lin Chao raised his legs, "And Yuan Lixi even invited a performance group to stir up the atmosphere."

"Damn, Doll Story, is this?" When Liu Zhiqin checked the front door monitor, Xu Xiaozhou was there, Liu Zhiqin didn't say much, but he shouted while watching, "It's not good for Yuan Lixi to invite a performance group, you have to invite Doll group?"

In the video, the dolls wobble into the bar through the front door, and some pose for photos with waiters standing at the door.

Everyone looks so relaxed.Except for the murderer, perhaps no one knows what is going to happen in the bar in a few hours.

Liu Zhiqin's eyes flickered with the cool color of the monitor.

After a while, he raised his hand and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.

A murder case happened at her bachelor party, which ruined the wedding the next day, and Yuan Lixi was extremely depressed.

When Hua Chong saw him, his face was pale and his eyes couldn't help avoiding.

"Did you ask to turn off the monitoring, or Yu Jun asked you to turn off the monitoring?" Hua Chong asked.

Yuan Lixi didn't look up, but stammered: "Yes, he said to turn off the monitoring, no, otherwise I wouldn't come to the party."

Hua Chong asked, "How did he tell you?"

Yuan Lixi was stunned, "What way?"

"Call? Send a message?" Hua Chong said, "Yu Jun only arrived in Qiancheng on the morning of the 18th, and before that, you asked the bar to turn off the monitoring, so you couldn't have said it face to face."

"Ah..." Yuan Lixi nodded quickly, "It's a message."

Hua Chong's eyes turned cold, "But my colleague has already got hold of Yu Jun's communication records, and he hasn't asked anyone to turn off the monitoring of the bar."

Yuan Lixi raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of panic, "He...he didn't take the initiative to turn off the surveillance, but I know he doesn't like to face the camera during private events."

Yuan Lixi, who is about 1.8 meters tall, trembled when he spoke, "I thought I'd already reserved the place, and we were all acquaintances, so there was no need for surveillance, so I mentioned it to Sister Chao."

Hua Chong looked at Yuan Lixi carefully.Judging from the reaction, this person doesn't seem to have a particularly deep scheming, but it is really strange to turn off the monitoring, whether it is intentional or crooked, the two points of turning off the monitoring and asking the performance group to wear doll costumes will give the murderer a sense of security. The great convenience of traveling also made the police's investigation more difficult.

Yuan Lixi is 29 years old this year. After graduating from university, he has been in the sales circle. He is currently the sales manager of an electrical appliance company in the city.From the perspective of the nature of his profession, he is used to trying to figure out the needs of customers, and deal with them comprehensively before the other party raises them.

Hua Chong kept an eye out and asked, "Since Yu Jun didn't take the initiative to ask you to turn off the surveillance. Then he doesn't like to face the camera. Did you think of it yourself, or did someone tell you?"

Yuan Lixi said, "It's my wife."

Hua Chong raised his eyebrows.He didn't expect this answer.

Yuan Lixi said that his wife, Li Yue, is a fan of Yu Jun, who has tipped thousands of dollars, and also mixed with Yu Jun's super chat, knowing that Yu Jun doesn't like being photographed.

"You must tell the bar to turn off the surveillance on the night of the 18th, otherwise what will happen if Yu Jun gets angry and won't come?" Li Yue said to Yuan Lixi.

Yuan Lixi was very proud of being able to let his wife see the idol, and then he found Lin Chao and said that he would turn off the surveillance.

As for the dolls, Yuan Lixi wanted to please Li Yue, so he specially asked the performance team to make them.

"My wife is a 'Two-dimensional'. She likes anime and Yu Jun, she is a very girly person." Yuan Lixi said with a sad face, "I just want to make her happy. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Jun's death really has nothing to do with me. If I kill him, I, my whole family will suffer a terrible death!"

"It's the most meaningless thing to swear to a criminal policeman. We only talk about evidence, not oath, and we won't wrong the innocent or let the perpetrator go." Hua Chong said, "Calm down first, and answer me a few questions." question."

Yuan Lixi swallowed, "You ask, such a big incident happened, my wedding is over, I also want to know who killed Yu Jun! I will never lie!"

Hua Chong said: "The party started at 8:9 p.m., Yu Jun came to the bar at 12:[-], what happened in the bar after that?"

Yuan Lixi opened his mouth for a long time, "I'd better show you the photos. No surveillance is turned on, but this is my party after all, so I took some photos."

The videos and photos on Yuan Lixi's mobile phone were exported to the computer, and he clicked on them one by one, and Yu Jun was in a small part of them.

Unlike Yu Juan, a dancer with heavy make-up on the Internet, Yu Jun looks like an exceptionally handsome guy, with a bright smile and no restraint in drinking.

"I invited two groups of people, one is my colleague and the other is my classmate. He is always by my classmate's side." Yuan Lixi said: "He seems to be a good drinker. He will follow whoever drinks with him."

The lights in the bar were dim, and it was not easy to see everyone clearly. People in doll costumes shuttled through the crowd, and some of them were performing on stage.

Yu Jun is good at dancing, and was pushed onto the stage by everyone, and danced with the dolls to Japanese cute music.

Hua Chong asked: "Do you know everyone at the party?"

Yuan Lixi scratched her hair and said awkwardly: "To be honest, if someone I don't know sneaks in, I don't know."

Hua Chong asked again: "How did you talk with the performance team?"

"The performance fee is [-] yuan, and they decide the number of people themselves." Yuan Lixi said: "There must have been more than ten people that day."

"But you don't know who is in the doll?"

"This... I didn't think so much at the time."

Hua Chong continued to watch the video, and noticed that Yu Jun was always accompanied by someone, "Who is this? Also your classmate?"

Yuan Lixi shook his head, "No no, he is Yu Jun's assistant. Yu Jun called him Xiaochun, and I have a deep impression of him."

Yu Jun is an Internet celebrity, so it's not surprising to have an assistant.But it's a bit concerning to have an assistant on such a private occasion.

Hua Chong asked: "What did he do to impress you?"

"It's not what he did, it's Yu Jun's attitude in ordering him to work." Yuan Lixi said, "It's an eye-opener. Our company will assign assistants above the middle level, and I have an assistant myself, a guy who just graduated. I I didn’t dare to speak harsh words to him at all, for fear that he wouldn’t be able to stand it and quit in a fit of anger. When I was an assistant to others before, my leader was very polite to me. In short, it’s about mutual respect.”

Hua Chong said, "Yu Jun disrespects his assistant?"

"It's not just disrespect, it's almost like being a servant." Yuan Lixi said "tsk tsk" twice, "I can do whatever I'm asked to do, and I don't even give him a stool. Wherever Yu Jun sits, he stands behind Yu Jun. I think This assistant is a bit disrespectful."

Hua Chong wrote it down and continued to ask: "When was the last time you saw Yu Jun? You are the host of the party. Before he went to the lounge, he should have greeted you?"

"He's been beaten, he's been beaten." Yuan Lixi said, "It was around 1 o'clock. He said that he had drunk too much and his head was a little dizzy. He asked me if there was a quiet place to lie down. I'd better take him to the lounge. "

Hua Chong asked, "Did this assistant named 'Xiao Chun' go too?"

Yuan Lixi said: "I went, but the waiter found...the assistant was with us when he found that."

Hua Chong asked again: "Was the assistant with you when the waiter found the body? Or was he with you all the time before that?"

Yuan Lixi rubbed her fingers in embarrassment, "It was when I discovered that. But I remember seeing him before. Alas, I was the protagonist that day, and everyone was calling me. I really can't pay attention to everyone."

Hua Chong said: "Recall again. After the two of you sent Yu Jun to the lounge, did the assistant leave with you?"

This time Yuan Lixi shook his head with certainty, "No, he stayed in the lounge when I left. I actually sent Yu Jun in and left. Xiaochun also told me that he would take care of Yu Jun and let me rest assured."

As he said that, Yuan Lixi frowned, "Strange, but not long after, I saw him come back. He didn't stay in the lounge to take care of Yu Jun at all..."

After arriving in Qiancheng, Pei Qing did not go to the scene with everyone, but re-dissected Yu Jun at the Forensic Medicine Center of the Municipal Bureau.

Since the body was discovered in a timely manner, the time of Yu Jun's death can be determined relatively accurately, and the cause of death is also clear.The murderer shot without delay, and stabbed straight into the heart.There were few signs of struggle on the body.

The toxicological and pharmacological tests showed that Yu Jun took a lot of sleeping pills before he was killed, and his blood alcohol content was too high.

When the murderer came to the waiting room, he was likely to have fallen asleep under the dual effects of alcohol and drugs, which made it so easy for the murderer to succeed.

And the music in the bar was very loud, even if Yu Jun woke up and called for help, no one could hear him.

Pei Qing sent the detailed autopsy report directly to Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin's mobile phones.

"Someone deliberately drugged Yu Jun." Hua Chongtiao focused on reading the autopsy report, "What he was waiting for was the opportunity for Yu Jun to lose consciousness and be ordered."

The weather is too hot, Liu Zhiqin has already unbuttoned his shirt to the second button.

Hua Chong took a look and sighed, "Do you regret it?"

Liu Zhiqin was still thinking about the case when he unbuttoned it, and suddenly heard this sentence, but couldn't react immediately, "What regrets?"

He couldn't remember anything he'd done lately that he regretted.

"What did I tell you this morning?" Hua Chong patted his chest, "When you go out to work in summer, you can not wear a shirt and trousers. You just want to say that formal clothes represent a rigorous attitude."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

"Do you feel uncomfortable now?" Hua Chongdan felt hot when he looked at Liu Zhiqin's body. "As long as the criminal police go out to investigate the scene, as long as they have a correct attitude, it's fine even if they wear a racerback vest. Go back at night and give this body to him." I took it off, don't wear it like this tomorrow."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Then I will wear a racer vest tomorrow?"

"Tsk, I'm just making an analogy." Hua Chong said, "We represent the Special Operations Team. It's not good for you to show your shoulders as soon as you arrive."

Liu Zhiqin's attitude was quite firm, "Well, wear a racer vest tomorrow."

Hua Chong: "..."

He finally understood that Liu Zhiqin was either a shirt or trousers or a racerback vest. Was this intentional to show off his figure?

But he knew what kind of luggage Liu Zhiqin had brought. There was no racerback vest in it, but several shirts.

If Liu Zhiqin doesn't have suitable clothes to wear tomorrow, it's not impossible to wear his cool T-shirt.He is a little shorter than Liu Zhiqin, and his figure is also slightly different, but the T-shirt is not as good-looking as a tailor-made shirt, and he can almost wear it.

Thinking of this, Hua Chong turned his thoughts to the case, "Yu Jun's assistant must investigate carefully. If he is not the murderer, he may be the last person to see Yu Jun. Yuan Lixi said that Yu Jun's attitude towards his assistant is very serious." Oops, that's actually not normal."

Liu Zhiqin didn't participate in the inquiry for the time being, so he didn't know what Yuan Lixi said, so he asked, "Do you think Yu Jun should be nice to the assistant?"

"When I didn't know these two people at all, I thought that Yu Jun and his assistant should have a good relationship, because Yu Jun always brought his assistant to participate in such a very private occasion." Hua Chong said: "But the fact is contrary to what I imagined. .”

At this time, a police officer shouted: "Flower Team, we brought Wang Xiaochun here."
