The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Compared with the restless Yuan Lixi, Wang Xiaochun, another key figure, is much calmer.

He followed the policeman, bowed his head, and walked into an empty room, talking very quietly. The policeman found a chair for him to sit on, and he just sat there, not asking himself why he was brought here. , and did not complain about why they were repeatedly questioned.

When Hua Chong came to this room, maybe he heard some movement, he turned his face slightly, only took a look at Hua Chong, and then turned back again.

Hua Chong walked up to him, observed him for a few seconds, and found that although his head was lowered, his eyes were carefully raised, but the movement was not obvious because of the cover of his forehead.

"Wang Xiaochun." Hua Chong called out.

Wang Xiaochun raised his head again, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were two black halos under his eyes. He looked very tired and sat here with all his energy.

"Hello." He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands, but suddenly realized what the occasion was and who the other party was, and quickly took his hand back, awkwardly saying: "Excuse me, what do you have to say?" Do you want to ask me?"

Hua Chong sat down and stared into Wang Xiaochun's eyes, "When Yuan Lixi sent Yu Jun to the lounge, were you there?"

Wang Xiaochun avoided looking at each other, "Yeah. I'm here."

Hua Chong said again: "Yuan Lixi said, at that time you told him that you would take care of Yu Jun in the lounge?"

Wang Xiaochun said, "Yes."

"Then what happened afterwards? What did you and Yu Jun talk about in the lounge?" Hua Chong's eyes gradually deepened, "Or, what happened in the lounge?"

The corners of Wang Xiaochun's lips pursed several times, "I, we didn't say anything, Yujuan... Yu Jun is very drunk, he usually drinks very well, maybe he really drank too much. Yuan Lixi and I He was sent to the lounge, where he fell asleep on the couch and never spoke to me."

Hua Chong said, "After Yuan Lixi left, you stayed in the lounge?"

Wang Xiaochun said: "Well, I was afraid that he would wake up and need something, so I didn't leave immediately."

Hua Chong asked: "But why did you leave later? Someone called you? But you told Yuan Lixi that you would guard Yu Jun."

Wang Xiaochun's eyes turned left and right frequently, looking very disturbed.

After a pause, he said: "Yu Jun drank too much and fell asleep. I guess, I guess he won't wake up in a short time, so he left."

"The activities in the bar attract you?" Hua Chong asked, because he saw that Wang Xiaochun didn't like lively places. Logically speaking, in the middle of the night, he should be more inclined to stay in the quiet lounge than the carnival outside. .

Even if there is someone lying in the lounge who treats him poorly.

"It's not like that. I'm not interested in those activities, and I don't know anyone. When I told Yuan Lixi to stay and take care of Yu Jun, I really planned to stay until Yu Jun woke up." Wang Xiaochun was a little anxious, "But in the lounge The signal is very poor, I can’t connect to the Internet, although the bar is noisy, but at least there is a signal. I think it’s too boring to sit in the lounge, and the only bed is occupied by Jun Yu, so I can’t sleep, so I want to You might as well go out."

Hearing this, Hua Chong frowned.

In the entire "tLN", he went to the lounge first, and took photos of the scene with his mobile phone. Although he hadn't made a call inside, he was sure that the signal in the upper right corner was fine.

"Wait a minute." Hua Chong stood up and immediately called Liu Zhiqin.

Just now they were still reading the autopsy report sent by Pei Qing, after parting, Hua Chong came to see Wang Xiaochun, and Liu Zhiqin had other things to be busy with.

After connecting, Liu Zhiqin's voice came, "What's the matter?"

Hua Chong said: "Are you free? Go to the lounge immediately if you are free. Is the signal there bad?"

"I'm in the lounge right now." Liu Zhiqin said, "The call is very smooth."

Hua Chong didn't say much for the time being, and after hanging up the phone, he looked at Wang Xiaochun again, "Are you sure, the signal in the lounge in the early morning of the 19th is poor?"

Wang Xiaochun became anxious when he heard that, "I'm not lying, I really came out because of the poor signal!"

Hua Chong stared at him for a moment, then asked, "Then when did you leave the lounge?"

"It's less than 2 o'clock, maybe 10 minutes to 2 o'clock." Wang Xiaochun became more and more anxious, "I didn't want to go to a crowded place. I went around and found that only the bar was the least crowded. I sat there all the time. At the bar, I chatted with the bartender for a while, he can testify for me!"

Saying that, Wang Xiaochun hurriedly took out his mobile phone, "There was really a problem with the signal at the time, if you don't believe me, look at my Weibo draft box! This is this one. I found a picture of a cocktail and wanted to post it on Weibo, but It has been failing to send due to network issues, I tried several times, and it was returned to the draft box."

Hua Chong took the phone and looked at it. There was indeed a Weibo that failed to send in the draft box.

"After I came out, I sat on the bar counter and took a better-looking glass of wine. I didn't care about the Weibo that failed to send, and sent another message. Look, the time is 2:12." Wang Xiaochun spoke faster and faster, Beads of sweat welled up on his forehead, "Yu Jun was killed, it was indeed my negligence, if I had stayed in the lounge, maybe, maybe I could have protected him... But why did something happen to him, I really don't know !"

The room was filled with the sound of Wang Xiaochun's rapid breathing.Hua Chong let him slow down for 3 minutes before continuing to ask: "How long have you been Yu Jun's assistant?"

Wang Xiaochun seemed not quite used to the sudden change of topic, and was startled for a few seconds, "It's been four years. I met him after he opened a dance studio."

"Then you accompany him through the stage of starting a business?" Hua Chong said, "When he was broadcasting live, you also helped him?"

Wang Xiaochun kept touching the back of his hand, "Yes."

Hua Chong said, "Does Yu Jun have any other assistants?"

"Only me." Wang Xiaochun calmed down, "Our studio is not big, he doesn't need so many assistants."

"So the relationship between you and Yu Jun can be regarded as close?" Before Wang Xiaochun could answer, Hua Chong said again: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you to the high school classmate's wedding?"

The corners of Wang Xiaochun's lips twitched, his smile was forced, "Maybe it's because I usually do a lot for him."

Only then did Hua Chong ask: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Yu Jun?"

Wang Xiaochun said, "He..."

Hua Chong interrupted, "To be honest, don't use those official words to perfuse me."

Wang Xiaochun buried his head down again, and after a while he said: "Yu Jun, he is not easy to get along with."

"How to say?"

"The personality is very paranoid, and the temper is not good. It is completely different from the personality set for the fans to see in the live fashion."

Hua Chong pondered every word of Wang Xiaochun, expressing obvious dissatisfaction.

Yu Jun had just been killed, and Wang Xiaochun could describe him as "paranoid" and "bad temper".And when it comes to the live broadcast, Wang Xiaochun's term is "pretending to be a person".

It can be seen that Wang Xiaochun has had a long-standing grudge against Yu Jun.The relationship between them is probably more complicated than what Yuan Lixi saw.

"He treats you badly?" Hua Chong asked.

Wang Xiaochun said "I" for a while, and finally said: "I am his assistant. Although he is my boss and pays me wages, we should be equal in personality, right? But he always treats me as a A servant comes to order me around, in his eyes, I am inferior!"

Wang Xiaochun didn't seem to be very good at controlling emotions, when he talked about excitement, tears came to his eyes.

Hua Chong motioned him to calm down first.

Wang Xiaochun took a deep breath while apologizing.

Probably because he realized what Hua Chong wanted to ask, his eyes suddenly became terrified, and he explained anxiously: "Although I hate him a little, I never wanted to kill him! Don't doubt me! I swear, absolutely, absolutely! None of my business!"

Hua Chong nodded, thinking alone.

Judging from the current clues, Wang Xiaochun is indeed suspicious.Since Yu Jun was able to call him around in front of his old classmates, he must have been annoyed a lot in the past four years.

A person's tolerance is limited, and it cannot stand being trampled back and forth.Wang Xiaochun has been in a long-term dissatisfaction and has sufficient motives for committing crimes.

But even if Wang Xiaochun became murderous because of this, he didn't have to go to Qiancheng to commit the crime, and he even imitated the famous "Hateful Killer" in Qiancheng.It is more likely that he killed Yu Jun in Lancheng.

Thinking of this, Hua Chong asked: "Has this happened before? Yu Jun came back to Qiancheng to attend a classmate's wedding."

"No." Wang Xiaochun answered quickly this time, "In fact, he doesn't like Qiancheng very much, always saying that it is backward and poor."

Hua Chong asked: "Then he chose to come back this time because he has a particularly good relationship with the groom Yuan Lixi?"

However, according to the preliminary investigation by the Qiancheng police, Yu Jun and all his classmates have a normal relationship.Although Yu Jun and Yuan Lixi were in the front and back desks when they were studying, they have lost contact after graduation for so many years.Everyone usually talks in the class group, but he rarely speaks, and only when he is circled will he make a fuss.

"I know why Yu Jun came back." Wang Xiaochun whispered: "He wants to show off his current achievements to his old classmates, and that's why he brought me as an assistant...my servant."

"show off?"

"Well, in the past two years, because of the live broadcast, he has become an Internet celebrity. His popularity is higher than that of participating in dance competitions back then, and he made more money than opening a dance studio. He said that he wanted to experience the feeling of returning home."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaochun pinched his hands and said, "Yu Jun looks down on his classmates and is somewhat hostile towards them. He especially wants them to see that he is the best in class now. He repeatedly told me Say, you must cooperate with him, I will do what he says, absolutely nothing will go wrong."

This passage of Wang Xiaochun can match Yuan Lixi's statement.

Returning home is something that many people yearn for, but it seems psychologically flawed to rely on an assistant to show off to former classmates.

Hua Chong asked: "When Yu Jun was studying, was he bullied by his classmates?"

Wang Xiaochun said: "He didn't say it clearly, but he occasionally scolded his classmates with me, including Yuan Lixi. I stayed with him for four years and knew some things about him in the past. Maybe he was a bit of a bitch because of dancing. been ridiculed."

So after gaining power, I immediately wanted to show it to my old classmates.

"He has prepared two sets of clothes." Wang Xiaochun said again: "One is for the bachelor party, and the other is for the wedding. It is a light-colored suit. Before leaving, I reminded him that this suit might be snatched." To steal the groom's limelight, he scolded me, saying how much does he pay for a live broadcast? He asked for leave to come to Qiancheng just to steal everyone's limelight, so that those who couldn't see him in the past can all see him."

Hua Chong brought the topic back, "So, on the night of the 18th, Yu Jun played a scene with you? He doesn't treat you as badly as he did that night?"

Wang Xiaochun admitted: "He usually orders me around as he pleases, but the degree is not as strong as that day."

After finishing the questioning of Wang Xiaochun, Hua Chong came to the lounge and joined Liu Zhiqin.

"How's the problem with the signal?" Hua Chong asked.

"The signal here is very stable. If Wang Xiaochun didn't lie, someone deliberately used a signal jamming device to lure Wang Xiaochun away." Liu Zhiqin said: "The murderer is very professional and has made sufficient preparations for this crime."

As he said that, Liu Zhiqin made a movement of stabbing a knife in his chest, "This knife is very clean and fatal. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it, not only because of strength, but also because of psychology. The murderer's psychological quality is very stable. During this knife, in his eyes, the sleeping Yu Jun was no different from a pillow."

Hua Chong paced slowly, bowed his head in thought, "Are there such people around Yu Jun?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "The investigation of interpersonal relationships has not been completed yet, so it's hard to say. However, I read the investigation records seven years ago. When the 'Hateful Killer' committed the crime, he also pierced the victim's heart with a knife, without delay. This detail is actually more important than the word 'hate' left at the scene."

"The modus operandi, the word 'hate' at the scene, Yu Jun's identity as a dancer, and the three clues lead the suspicion to the murderer seven years ago. People can't help but think about it, the 'hate killer' is back." Hua Chong said: "But maybe that's the real murderer's purpose."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "You seem to have decided from the beginning that this is a copycat crime?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "It's not that I'm sure, I just think that the direction of the scene is too obvious. And the serial murderer usually needs an opportunity to reappear. What is the opportunity for the 'hateful killer'? Also, seven years ago The 'Hateful Killer' suddenly disappeared after killing three people, what is the reason for his disappearance?"

"The views on Qiancheng's side are more consistent—the murderer is tired of this 'game'." Hua Chong continued: "But I don't think it makes sense. Will the serial murderer be bored? They will only get more and more serious. The more excited he gets, the more he gets caught. Besides, the police tried so hard to catch him, but they didn't catch him. Wouldn't that give him great satisfaction?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "From this logic, not only will he not get bored, but he will commit crimes more intensively."

"Yes." After a pause, Hua Chong said again: "Of course, this is only a possibility. For a perverted murderer, the opportunity is not important, but I think that if he comes out of the rivers and lakes again and chooses Qiancheng to continue committing crimes, Then he is more likely to focus on the dancers living in the local area, which is more conducive to his preparation, but this time the victim is Yu Jun who came back from other places to attend the wedding of his classmate. Another point is that the three victims seven years ago, They were all killed while walking alone on a remote road at night, and the murderer was very good at choosing places. But this time the murder scene was a bar, which did not conform to the murderer's logic of committing the crime seven years ago."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "It makes sense."

Hua Chong said: "In Yu Jun's case, I really tend to think that the murderer is not a real 'hate killer'. The murderer is setting up a trap. If we can jump out of this trap at the beginning, the vision will be clear." Clearer."

In the case that happened in Chuanming City, the police fell into the murderer's trap, but fortunately broke free from the trap halfway.

"We should find the reason from Yu Jun's interpersonal relationship." Hua Chong said again: "His return to Qiancheng was disclosed in the classmate group half a month ago, but it was not finalized at the time. I knew he was going to participate." The people at Yuan Lixi's bachelor party are nothing more than classmates, as well as Wang Xiaochun and others. The murderer knows Yu Jun's whereabouts like the back of his hand, and even knows that he will leave the bar halfway to go to the lounge."

Liu Zhiqin said: "I don't necessarily know that Yu Jun will go to the lounge. The murderer is in the bar, hiding among the guests, waiters, and dolls. He is ready to strike at any time. Yu Jun stayed in Qiancheng for more than a day. He There are plenty of opportunities. When Yu Jun was drunk and sent to the lounge by Yuan Lixi and Wang Xiaochun, he realized that the opportunity had come."

Hua Chong was silent for a while, "But I can't figure out this signal jamming device. How could the murderer carry this kind of thing with him? Did he think too far?"

"This is indeed a major doubt. Ordinary murderers should not be prepared for this." Liu Zhiqin glanced at the time, "It's getting late, go back to the city bureau first, and integrate the clues in everyone's hands."

On the way back to the Municipal Bureau, Hua Chong squeezed Liu Zhiqin's arm.

Liu Zhiqin: "Huh?"

Hua Chong: "Is it too hot?"

Liu Zhiqin smiled: "You pinched me just now to feel if my shirt is wet with sweat?"

Hua Chong clapped his hands, "It's not wet. But I can't wear this outfit tomorrow."

The two happened to pass by a street stall selling everything, and the clothes were colorfully hung.

Liu Zhiqin pointed to a camouflage racerback vest, "Why don't I buy two back? Wear them differently."

"You really want to wear a vest?" Hua Chong refused to let go.

Liu Zhiqin said: "Then what should I wear? All I brought are shirts."

Hua Chong had already thought about it, "Wear mine."

Liu Zhiqin smiled and said, "Boyfriend T-shirt?"

Hua Chong said: "Husband T-shirt."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

As night fell, rumors of the reappearance of the "Hateful Killer" made the whole city panic.

But some people, for various reasons, had to hurry in the dead of night.

Hu Tong is one of them.

She worked in a restaurant that was open until the early hours of the morning. After get off work, she hurried towards the rental house with trepidation, and hesitated when she entered a dark alley.

Recently, everyone is talking about "Hateful Killer". Seven years ago, she hadn't arrived in Qiancheng, so she hadn't experienced the panic at that time, but now, she was really scared.

If you just want to go home, you can only pass through this alley.

She gritted her teeth and walked into the alley.
