The Book of Death by Heart Poison

At this time, the intersection with few pedestrians was crowded with residents who came after hearing the news. If there were no cordons and police officers from the police station to stop them, the most courageous of them would have rushed to the place where the woman was killed.

"Didn't the old man who called the police say that there was a word 'hate' on the ground? 'Hate Killer' is really back!"

"Then can this girl also dance? The daughter of the household next door also learns to dance!"

"What's the matter with the police, they haven't caught anyone for so many years, and the 'Hateful Killer' killed two of them as soon as he came back!"

"I'm sure there will be more killed. That's a lunatic who hates dancing girls. Fortunately, no one dances in my house."

"What dancing girl? Whom are you insulting?"

……

A police car stopped at the intersection, the door opened, and the residents who were discussing all looked back, "Why are the police here again?"

Liu Zhiqin got out of the car first, waited for half a second, and walked quickly towards the security belt with Hua Chong who got down behind.

Hua Chong looked dignified, his whole figure seemed to be wrapped in a layer of chill.

Residents crowded outside the warning zone subconsciously moved away. When Hua Chong pulled up the warning belt, he said "thank you" to the other party with a blank expression.

The murdered woman was lying in the deepest part of the alley, blood spattered from her chest and spread to the surroundings.Like Yu Jun, there was also a "hate" written in her own blood next to her body. The difference was that a blood-stained knife was thrown only 3 meters away from the body.

"It was an old man who called the police." The policeman at the police station said: "The old man passes by this alley every morning to go to the moat for morning exercises. We rushed over immediately, and the scene should not have been damaged."

Hua Chong said, "Hai Zi."

Haizi has already made preparations for the survey, "Understood!"

"The corpse is stiff, the face and torso are more obvious, and basically spread to the whole body. The corpse spots are distributed in flakes on the back, as well as under the arms and legs. The finger pressure has faded and has not been moved." Pei Qing was wearing latex Gloves, the victim is undergoing a preliminary autopsy, "the cornea is cloudy, and the lips are slightly wrinkled."

As she spoke, Pei Qing took out a reagent from the investigation box, dripped it twice in the victim's eyes, observed for a while and said, "The pupil's reaction to the mydriatic is minimal."

Hua Chong stood aside, "So the death time is more than six hours."

Pei Qing nodded, and shifted her gaze to the lower part of the corpse, "The abdomen has already shown an early stage of swollen, and the temperature has not been high these two days. I judge that the time of death is about eight hours."

Pei Qing looked at the time, "It's 10 o'clock now, and the crime happened at about 2 o'clock in the morning. More specific needs to go back for an autopsy."

"One of her shoes fell off." Hua Chong looked at the victim's foot, which looked a little strange, "Dancing for a long time, will it cause changes in the bones of the foot?"

Pei Qing raised her head, "So you're another dancer?"

The identity of the deceased has not yet been ascertained, but when they received the police report from the police station, everyone agreed that the victim might have something to do with dancing. Seeing her feet now only made this point clearer.

"But why did her shoe fall off?" Liu Zhiqin held the corpse's ankle and lifted the bare foot slightly.

Pei Qing didn't react for a while, "Huh? If I were the victim, when I found the murderer coming towards me, I would definitely run away and struggle."

"I understand what you mean. You mean that the victim lost her shoes because of struggling." Liu Zhiqin said, "But if that's the case, why are her feet so clean?"

"And the shoe was dropped next to the corpse." Hua Chong frowned, "The murderer took off one of the victim's shoes and threw it aside after the victim's death. What does this mean?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "Do you want us to see her feet and believe that she also died because of dancing?"

"It's not necessary." Pei Qing felt uncomfortable that her professional ability was questioned by the murderer. "Our forensic doctor will not take off the shoes and socks of the corpse when we do the autopsy? As long as we take off the shoes and socks, we can see her two legs." And whether she is related to dancing, as long as her identity is clarified, you can immediately find out from her relatives and friends."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "It makes sense. But since the murderer took off the victim's shoes, there must be some purpose."

Hua Chong said: "Let the police present see the victim's feet at a glance, so that they can immediately judge that she has something to do with dancing?"

Pei Qing said, "Isn't this superfluous?"

Hua Chong turned his gaze and landed on the crime tools that had been put into the evidence bag.

"The murderer's 'overwhelming' is probably more than this." Hua Chong said: "The tools of crime are very critical evidence in criminal investigations. Except for crimes of passion, in other premeditated crimes, the murderer almost always takes away and destroys the tools of crime. Why? Does he have to leave the tools of the crime at the scene?"

"With the murderer's anti-reconnaissance ability, it is impossible for him to accidentally leave behind the tools of the crime." Liu Zhiqin said: "It can only be - leaving the knife is a key part of his anti-reconnaissance method."

"Is this not a real crime tool? Use it to mislead the police?" Pei Qing once again felt humiliated by the murderer, "Whether the victim was killed by this knife, you will know immediately after the autopsy."

"But this knife is very special." Haizi walked over and took the evidence bag from Hua Chong, "According to my preliminary observation, it doesn't look like a knife that can be bought in the market."

The knife in the evidence bag is made of steel, with a total length of 24 centimeters and a blade length of 10 centimeters. There are ergonomic anti-slip patterns on the handle, and there are tactical rope holes and tail hammers at the tail. It looks quite professional at first glance.

Hua Chong said, "Is it the murderer himself, or someone else?"

"It should be like this." Haizi said: "This has advantages and disadvantages. It's hard to find out the source, but there will be obvious characteristics on the knife. I don't really understand why the murderer would use a knife with obvious characteristics. Stay there."

"From his point of view, that is digging a hole for the police." Liu Zhiqin said: "Misleading us, putting the blame on another person, and he can hide in the shadow next to the light."

At this moment, there was a shrill cry from outside the warning belt, and everyone looked around, only to see a woman in her fifties tearing off the warning belt.

"My daughter couldn't get through on the phone all night. I went to the store to inquire. She, she is not in the store!" The woman stumbled and ran, and was supported by a policeman.

She seemed to have a sense, and felt that the one lying in the alley must be her daughter, so she pushed the policeman away, and rushed over regardless.

"Ah!" The moment she saw the corpse, she fell to the ground as if she suddenly lost her life.

The crying died away, and her shoulders were shaking violently.

Everyone present realized that the victim was indeed her daughter.

The scene is still under lockdown, and the corpse and those related to it have been brought back to the Municipal Bureau.

The woman was speechless, and sitting in front of Hua Chong was her son Hu Dong.

"That, that's my sister." Hu Dong couldn't hide his grief and indignation. The sudden murder of his relatives was hard for any ordinary person to accept, but compared to his distraught mother, he still had a sense of reason.

As soon as he said a word, Hu Dong raised his hand to wipe his tears, choked up and said, "It's my fault, I should let her move to me and mom."

From Hu Dong's narration, Hua Chong gradually got to know the victim, Hu Tong, and the Hu family.

Hu Tong is 28 years old this year. He works in a restaurant called "Yonghe" and lives alone in an old house on Jutian Street.The restaurant was open until the early hours of the morning, and Hu Tong had to go through the alley where she was killed every day on her way home.

The two siblings had no father and were brought up by their mother Zhou Lan. The Hu family only had one house. Until the first half of last year, the three still lived together.In the second half of last year, Hu Dong made a girlfriend. The Hu family was not rich, so Zhou Lan planned to leave the house to Hu Dong to get married.

Hu Tong understood the difficulties of the family, thinking that he would not get married for the time being, so he moved out of the family and rented an old house near the restaurant.

Later, Hu Dong and his girlfriend flirted, but Hu Tong was used to living alone, so he didn't move back.

Hu Tong studied dance since he was a child, and suffered a lot of injuries for dancing, but because of his average talent and appearance, he finally failed to eat the rice of dancing, and because of the delay in his studies, he failed to enter the university and left the society early. , couldn't find a decent job, worked in a factory for a few years, and then worked in a restaurant all the time.

But until now, Hu Tong still loves dancing. He put a big mirror in the rented house and practiced basic skills when he had time.

Hearing that the "Hateful Killer" who killed three people in Qiancheng was back, Hu Dong called Hu Tong immediately and asked her to move back to his home temporarily, firstly because she could dance, and secondly because The area around Jutian Street is too desolate.

Hu Tong didn't want to trouble his younger brother, so he didn't agree.

Hu Dong took chances and felt that his sister would not be selected.

Unexpectedly, the tragedy happened.

"It's my fault, it's my fault." After speaking, Hu Dong kept banging his forehead on the table, his emotions became more and more agitated, "She has taken care of me since she was a child, and left me everything good, the house, and even the house. The only house was given to me. But because I was afraid of trouble, I didn't insist on letting her come back and pick her up. Damn me, I killed her!"

Hua Chong looked at the crying man in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Judging from the communication records, Hu Dong did send Hu Tong a few WeChat messages, and the siblings chatted about "hate killer", going home to live, picking you up from get off work and other topics.But most of the time, people are selfish. Hu Dong is worried that his sister is not fake, but is he really willing to let Hu Tong live back and pick Hu Tong up from get off work in the middle of the night every day?not necessarily.Or, willingly, but not so willingly.

Perhaps it was precisely because Hu Tong knew his younger brother that he rejected his brother's kindness.

Both of them had a fluke mentality, thinking that disaster would not happen to them.It's too late to regret until everything has happened.

Sadness is real, fluke is real.

And selfishness, too.

Zhou Lan was in pain all the time, unable to accept the questioning, so Hua Chong had to continue to ask Hu Dong.But judging from Hu Dong's answer, no matter what aspects Hu Tong is in, Hu Tong is quite ordinary. The only characteristic is that he can dance--not very well.

If the previous victim, Yu Jun, had distinct personal characteristics, Hu Tong was a 100% ordinary person.

At the same time, Yue Yue and Xu Xiaozhou were learning about the situation at the "Yonghe" restaurant.

"Is it really Hu Tong?" - Everyone's first reaction at this time.

"Hu Tong has been working here for two years. She seldom makes mistakes and works diligently. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to her." The boss sighed repeatedly, "I know she can dance. Last year when we were in the group, she also performed A dance. But there are so many people who can dance, why is she the one?"

The proprietress was even more emotional, and immediately wanted to temporarily close the shop, "Hu Tong had an accident on the way to get off work, and we are also responsible. Many of the people who work here are women, and they only leave work in the early morning, which is too dangerous."

Xu Xiaozhou asked while adjusting the surveillance: "Recently, have you noticed any suspicious people appearing nearby?"

The proprietress shook her head, "The store is busy, so I can't take care of so much, but our store has installed several surveillance cameras, and the records of the last three months are all there. You can check them."

It was very laborious to check and monitor, and it was impossible for Xu Xiao to watch them one by one at half past one on Monday, so he only clicked on the video from last night for the time being.

Hu Tong looked natural and left "Wing River" at 1:56 in the morning.At the door of the store, she said goodbye to three waiters, and then walked towards Jutian Street.

Public monitoring on the road showed that Hu Tong came to the intersection opposite the alley where the incident occurred at 2:17, and then walked into the video blind spot.

In the surveillance that has been obtained, no one suspected of the murderer has been seen.

He may have been lying in ambush deep in the alley, waiting for Hu Tong who came back late at night.

Seeing another homicide, the leader of the Qiancheng City Bureau was anxious like ants on a hot pot, and asked the special operations team to catch the "hateful killer" as soon as possible.

"The police in Qiancheng have a very unified opinion. They believe that the murderer in the two recent cases is the same year." Liu Zhiqin put on Hua Chong's T-shirt instead of a shirt. a bottle.

The special operations team, which has high hopes, is in a meeting.

Haizi raised her hand, "I actually think it's the 'Hateful Killer' re-emerged, or someone who worships the 'Hateful Killer' - this person is likely to have anti-social personality like the 'Hateful Killer', The same pervert. He wants to repeat what the 'Hateful Killer' did back then, he is equivalent to copying a 'Hateful Killer'."

"I have sent you all the autopsy reports." Pei Qing said, "The time of death is still the time I deduced in the morning. I mainly want to talk about fatal injuries. Like Yu Jun, Hu Tong was also stabbed into the heart. Autopsy the heart I found that the knife left at the scene was the tool used in the two cases. Then I checked the detailed autopsy records of the three cases seven years ago. Now the corpses are no longer visible. It is not intuitive, but it can basically be used as a force test. Judgment—there is very little difference in the force patterns of the wounds, and the tools are extremely similar, so it is very likely that they were done by the same person.”

"By the way, I took that knife for a detailed inspection." Haizi said, "There are no fingerprints on it. It is very new, and the damage is minimal. It may have only been used twice. Also, the steel used to make the knife is not in the factory. It is very common in China, and it is easy for ordinary people to buy it. But it is still rare to make it to this level.”

Hua Chong suddenly asked: "Can you make it?"

Haizi choked, "I can do it, but I can't do it so well."

Trace inspectors need to be familiar with all kinds of materials, and the knowledge they have can even be described as strange.For example, Haizi had learned how to make outdoor knives before, but because she did not do well, she gave it to Pei Qing in the end.

"The knife is a new knife?" Hua Chong looked at Haizi.

Haizi nodded, "Yes, it can't be the same as seven years ago, but they are very similar. If the murderer can do one, he can do the second."

Hua Chong stroked his chin with deep eyes.

Liu Zhiqin said: "Are you thinking, maybe this is why the murderer left the crime tools at the crime scene?"

Several people in the conference room looked at Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin.

Hua Chongdao: "Regardless of whether the murderer is the same person or not, he and their thinking are very meticulous. I always think it is difficult for such a thing to drop a crime tool. Did the murderer put the knife there just to make it easier for us to compare? The victim’s wound, made Pei Qing’s judgment that “the force patterns of the wound are very different, and the tools are extremely similar”? And the dropped shoe, he also wanted to let us see it at the first time, oh, the victim and It's about dancing."

After a pause, Hua Chong supported his forehead, "In my opinion, it's too deliberate."

After a moment of silence, Haizi said "ah", "I think of a problem. A sharp object was pierced into the heart, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Usually in this kind of case, the murderer would leave blood trails. In the case seven years ago, there was half a piece of blood." Footprints, it is a pity to find people by half blood footprints, which is like finding a needle in a haystack. At that time, all suspects were ruled out after comparing the footprints. At the two murder scenes of Yu Jun and Hu Tong, I have not found a single one. Blood trail."

Yue Yue said: "The murderer is very professional and knows how to avoid it. If it's the same person, then it can be said that his methods have been more clever in the past seven years. If it's not..."

"Then the real murderer can use the bloody footprints of the year to remove his suspicion." Hua Chong said.

Haizi whispered, "The flower team decided it was a copycat."

Hua Chong heard this, and shook his head, "It's not a simple imitation either. The murderer's act of discarding the tools of the crime makes me feel that he is using the past 'hate killer' to achieve his goal. In fact, today's case of Hu Tong Before it happened, I thought the murderer was going after Yu Jun. He killed Yu Jun for a purpose, and the clues were probably hidden in Yu Jun. In order to mislead the police, he used the well-known "Hateful Killer" in Qiancheng. "

"But now that the No. 2 victim has appeared, things may have deviated from my judgment." Hua Chong continued: "Think about it the other way around, if the murderer is a 'hate killer', or a pure imitator, a 'tribute ', why did he kill Yu Jun?"

Everyone is deep in thought.

"I tried to find the common ground of the victims." Hua Chong said: "I found that Hu Tong was similar to the three victims seven years ago, in line with the random crime style of the 'Hateful Killer'. Yu Jun was particularly outstanding, he should not Appeared on the list of 'Hateful Killers'."

"Someone did not hesitate to kill the completely innocent Hu Tong in order to blame everything on the 'Hateful Killer'?" Liu Zhiqin said, "And we have already been led by the nose by him..."

Haizi shuddered, "If this is the case, then this murderer is even scarier than the 'Hateful Killer'!"
