The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The case is complicated and confusing. Is it the "Hateful Killer" reappearing, or his followers imitating the crime, or as Hua Chong judged, someone killed Yu Jun for a certain purpose and used the "Hateful Killer" as a shield. Can't make a conclusion either.

After Pei Qing and others left the conference room, Hua Chong left Liu Zhiqin behind, "What do you think?"

"It all makes sense." Liu Zhiqin sat on the edge of the table with folded arms, "Now the burden on the Qiancheng City Bureau is very heavy, and almost everyone in the outside world thinks that the 'Hateful Killer' is here again. Let me make a hypothesis—— If the murderer is imitating the 'Hateful Killer', or framing the 'Hateful Killer', and the real 'Hateful Killer' knows about it, how will he react?"

Hua Chong thought for a while, "Keep killing people, and use the dead body to tell the world who is the real 'Hateful Killer'."

"Yes." Liu Zhiqin said: "The first possibility is that the murderer is just a simple imitator and admirer. Part of what he did may be that he wanted to stimulate the 'hateful killer' back then. It must be a truth. However, this situation has been discussed in the meeting just now, and the possibility is very slim, because a simple imitator will not deliberately set the blame, let alone kill Yu Jun."

Hua Chong said: "So you, like me, also think that the murderer is not a 'Hateful Killer' at all, he is using the 'Hateful Killer'."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Then the second possibility is that the murderer uses the 'Hateful Killer'. How will the 'Hateful Killer' react when he knows he is being used?"

Hua Chong paused, his eyebrows furrowed, "He will take more drastic measures than before."

"This is the key." Liu Zhiqin said: "As long as the murderer this time is not the real 'Hate Killer', then the 'Hate Killer' himself will definitely prove his existence. The imitators don't mind the 'Hate Killer' It can even be said that stimulating the reappearance of the "Hateful Killer" is exactly the purpose of the imitators. But what about the second possibility? Once the "Hateful Killer" appears, the murderer's plan to set the blame will be ruined ?"

Hua Chong said slowly: "Unless he is sure, the real 'Hateful Killer' will never appear again. The 'Hateful Killer' is dead!"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "The police have been searching for seven years and haven't found a person. How can the murderer be sure that this person is dead? The murderer knew the 'Hateful Killer'? If this logic doesn't hold, then the murderer is someone else. The possibility of the 'Hateful Killer' covering up his true purpose is a question mark."

Hua Chong thought over and over again, "At present, the police force is still sufficient, and the social attention is also high. I think we can divide our operations into two parts. The police in Qiancheng mainly focus on the investigation of the 'Hateful Killer' seven years ago, including imitation crimes of a tribute nature. , we will focus on Yu Jun here. The point you mentioned just now cannot be ignored, why is the murderer so sure that the 'Hateful Killer' will not appear again?"

After making a plan, Hua Chong approached Gong Xian, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and discussed it again.

Gong Xian was a little surprised at first, "Everyone investigates each? Team Flower, don't you think the murderer is a 'Hateful Killer'?"

Hua Chong didn't want to talk too hard, so he just said: "Although there are many clues now, they are very messy. If you blindly determine one result, if you make a mistake, it will delay time. You are more familiar with the case of 'Hateful Killer', so I think it is more suitable for you to continue to pursue this line than for us to take over this line. Of course, what I mean is that the special operations team does not participate in your investigation process. If you have any questions, you can come to me and we will judge together. "

Gong Xian was still not at ease.

"The reason why I made this decision is because I put together the five victims from seven years ago and seven years later. Yu Jun, who came home to attend the wedding, is too conspicuous. His appearance does not quite fit the murderer's logic of committing the crime. I think he You are most likely to find a breakthrough point." Hua Chong said, "Captain Gong, you must also think that Yu Jun's case has the most suspicious points, right?"

Gong Xian is a veteran, of course he also noticed the difference between Yu Jun and others, but under the huge shadow of "Hateful Killer" and the pressure of the whole city, he was too anxious to be as calm as Hua Chong.After Hua Chongyi said, he realized that Yu Jun not only wanted to investigate, but also concentrated the police force to investigate.

Because of the two murders in succession, the usual bustle of the city no longer exists. Some shops that are open until the early morning close early, and people hurry on the road. If you hear someone chatting together, they are probably talking about "Hateful Killer" .

Xu Xiaozhou has checked the surveillance around the "tLN" bar, and the most suspicious thing is the doll.

Yuan Lixi confessed that he signed the contract with the performance team because his wife Li Yue likes dolls.Li Yue also confirmed this.

Everyone who participated in the performance that day was re-invited to "tLN". Liu Han is the team leader. He is 29 years old. There are only three people in the company. Every time he receives business, he sends messages in WeChat and QQ groups , so that free and suitable part-timers can pick up the job.

At this time, the monitoring of "tLN" has been fully turned on, and every corner is exposed to people's sight.

Hua Chong said: "In your performance introduction, you didn't mention doll costumes entering the venue. Why did you put on doll costumes before entering the bar on the night of the 18th?"

"Ah?" Liu Han was stunned for a long time, "Boss Yuan asked for it!"

Yuan Lixi retorted immediately, "I never asked you to change your clothes before you come in! I lied one word, I will die a damn hell!"

Liu Han was stunned, his eyes turned red, and he almost shed tears, "But, but you really told us that your wife thinks this is more atmospheric!"

Hua Chong asked, "Did he tell you in person? Or did he tell you?"

Communication is impossible, because Liu Zhiqin has checked Yuan Lixi's recent communication records.

"He told..." Liu Han stopped suddenly, turned to look at the boy next to him, "Who did he send the message to?"

"Fatty Blue." The boy said, "We were about to get out of the car at that time. Fatty Blue ran to say that he arrived first, and the guests asked us all to change into doll costumes before going in."

"That's right, Fatty Blue." Liu Han explained that he didn't come until after 11 pm because there was another event that day. He heard that everyone was asked to change into doll costumes and enter the venue. He also felt that the guests this time were really serious about playing. .

"Impossible!" Yuan Lixi said: "I have never talked to any blue fat man!"

Liu Han suddenly called out, his eyes became frightened.

Hua Chong looked at him and realized something instantly, "Among the dolls you prepared, there is no blue fat man at all?"

Liu Han tremblingly said, "No! I was the one who carried the dolls into the car that day. There were ten of them in total. Our company had the most blue fat people, but they were all sent to another event!"

Hua Chong narrowed his eyes and called Liu Zhiqin, "Call out the video on the 18th."

Liu Han stood in front of the computer, shivering uncontrollably, not from the cold, but from the fear of passing by the murderer.

At 18:8 p.m. on the 20th, the dolls entered the bar one after another. When Fatty Lan appeared, Liu Zhiqin knocked to stop, and then turned the screen back.

"There is no such doll, no such doll!" Liu Han was going crazy, "The one inside the doll is the murderer!"

The boy who spoke before said: "He came to tell us that the guest asked us to change into doll clothes before going in."

Liu Han asked anxiously: "Didn't you find that there was one more person?"

The boy was startled, his face was pale, and he said after a long time: "Liu, Mr. Liu, stop talking, it's scary."

In many horror games, ghosts take on human form and blend in with the crowd.In the dark, you don't know whether the thing photographing you behind you is a person or a ghost, and you don't know whether the thing you photograph is a person or a ghost.

The saying "one more person" itself sounds a bit intrusive in some specific environments.

Yuan Lixi was even more excited, "So the murderer sneaked in wearing your company's doll costume? You don't even know?"

"This kind of doll costume is everywhere." Liu Han argued eagerly, turned around and said to the others: "You guys, why didn't you find that there is one more person?"

Everyone looked at each other, very nervous.

"These people are playing dolls part-time. It's not surprising that they didn't notice the extra person." Liu Zhiqin said, "The murderer took advantage of the atmosphere at that time. Even if Liu Han was there from the beginning, he could still pretend to be from the bar." Staff. In that case, no one would call Yuan Lixi to confirm such a small request."

Hua Chong said: "The behavior of the murderer that day is very clear. He pretended to be a blue fat man and passed on fake news to sneak into the bar. In the bar, he may not still be wearing a doll costume, maybe he is hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity , and the opportunity just happened to be hit by him. He not only knows Yu Jun, but also knows the whole process of the bachelor party. From this point of view, although the assistant Wang Xiaochun is dissatisfied with Yu Jun and has a certain motive for committing the crime, but he really wants to implement it. , he still can't do it."

"You suspect it's one of your classmates?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

"I have long suspected that the problem lies in Yu Jun's middle school days." Hua Chong said: "But now I have asked some of Yu Jun's classmates, and I have gotten very few clues. During the time when Yu Jun was killed, they every One person both claiming to be in the bar, and each can vouch for each other."

Xu Xiaozhou said: "I have read a novel, which is about students committing crimes collectively and being mutual witnesses."

Hua Chong glanced at him, "Don't you always read the novels of the God of War? Are you reading suspense novels instead?"

Xu Xiaozhou muttered: "I have to change my taste occasionally."

"The possibility of group crimes appearing in reality is very low, because the most untrustworthy is 'others'." Hua Chong said: "Even in novels, the subjects of group crimes are set as students."

"Yeah." Xu Xiaozhou nodded, "I just heard you discussing, and suddenly remembered this."

Hua Chong's heart suddenly flashed, but he didn't catch it for a moment, and immediately frowned.

Liu Zhiqin asked: "What's wrong?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "I'll go see Yuan Lixi and Lin Chao again."

The monitoring was turned off when the incident happened, and the situation at that time can only be restored through the narration of those present and the few photos.Including Yuan Lixi and Lin Chao, guests and waiters all said that they had seen Fatty Lan in the venue.

"Is this person the murderer?" In a few days, Wang Xiaochun lost a lot of weight. He stared at the surveillance screen, "I, I have an impression of him. He came to deliver wine to Yu Jun many times!"

Hua Chong said, "Did Yu Jun drink?"

Wang Xiaochun nodded vigorously, "Yu Jun likes Fatty Lan very much, and there are many fatty blues in our studio. During his live broadcast, Fatty Lan will occasionally leave the country."

Hua Chong couldn't help thinking, so the murderer deliberately pretended to be the blue fat man because he knew Yu Jun's preferences?

In order to kill Yu Jun, how much preparation did he make?

"They chatted for a while." Wang Xiaochun said, "But the bar was very noisy, and I didn't hear what they were talking about."

"Chat?" If there is still communication, then Yu Jun is likely to be guided by the murderer before asking Yuan Lixi to find a lounge to sleep in.

"What did Yu Jun tell you before going to the lounge?" Hua Chong asked.

In fact, in the last interview, he said that he had asked similar questions, but there was no such clear clue at that time, and the focus was different.

Wang Xiaochun recalled: "He just said that he was dizzy, and that he was too noisy, and wanted to rest. I said, let's go back to the hotel - I booked the hotel early in the morning, and we also came from the hotel, but Yu Jun said that we couldn't just go to the hotel." Going back like this, he also said that there is a lounge in the bar, and asked me to call Yuan Lixi over."

"I was a little surprised at that time, he and I came to 'tLN' for the first time, why did he know that there is a lounge?" Wang Xiaochun continued: "But I didn't dare to ask more, I was afraid of making him angry, so I immediately sent Yuan Lixi Called over. Then we will take him to rest. You all know the rest.”

In the evening, the fiery red sunset spreads over the zenith of the nightlife street.

"The murderer took a lot of trouble to kill Yu Jun, and now I think even more that he is going to blame the 'Hateful Killer'." Hua Chong said: "In his eyes, Yu Jun has a reason to die, and he knows , the real 'Hateful Killer' will not appear again."

Liu Zhiqin opened the car door, "Why is the murderer so familiar with the 'Hateful Killer'? And his thinking is very 'thorough' - he must have thought that Yu Jun is special, killing Yu Jun alone, even if There is a word "hate" at the scene, and the police will also suspect that it is a copycat crime. If they continue to look for clues on Yu Jun, they may lock him, so he will kill another person with the logic of "hate killer" back then. If we don't come, The Qiancheng police will be completely misled by him."

Hua Chong sat in the passenger seat, "How did he determine that the 'Hateful Killer' is dead?"

"This is also a question I haven't figured out for a while." Liu Zhiqin started the car and slowly drove away from the nightlife street, "I will go to the criminal police who investigated the 'Hateful Killer' case back then to find out. Finally People who know about the 'Hateful Killer' are either people close to the 'Hateful Killer' or the police."

Hua Chong was thinking, when the phone vibrated suddenly.

Liu Zhiqin glanced, "Is it Pei Qing?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "Zhaofan."

Liu Zhiqin was slightly startled, "What can he do?"

These words sounded a bit disgusting, Hua Chong was a little funny, in the entire special operations team, only Liu Zhiqin dared to show "dislike Zhaofan" on his face.Zhaofan is very popular, even if he does some speechless things sometimes, because of his personality and that face, people cannot hate him.

Hua Chong and Zhaofan have a good relationship, as long as Zhaofan doesn't force him to eat dark dishes, he can be good brothers with Zhaofan.

What Zhaofan called back was not a phone call, but a video call.As soon as Hua Chong connected, he saw a dog's face.

Erwa: "..."

If it can talk, I don't know if the dog will call "Dad".

"Busy?" Zhao Fan's voice came from outside the screen, "I came to the police dog team today and played with my baby for a while. If you have nothing to do, I will show you the dog. If there is something to do, I will hang up."

Hua Chong: "..."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

The surname Zhao is vigorous and resolute, coming and going like a gust of wind.

At this time in the car, nothing happened, and Hua Chong looked at the dog's face on the screen, he was really soft-hearted, and quickly said: "It's okay, don't hang up."

"Okay." Zhaofan held the phone steady, "Come on, baby, have you seen your flower daddy?"

Although the word "Papa Hua" sounded strange, Hua Chong still smiled and waved at Gouzi, "Baby."

Erwa looked at the camera excitedly, if Zhaofan hadn't been holding her, she might have jumped up by now.

Zhaofan asked again: "Is Liu Zhiqin there?"

Liu Zhiqin coughed.

Hua Chong said, "He's driving."

"Oh, drive. Just drive." Zhaofan held Erwa's paw, "Honey, brother Liu is driving, so he won't greet you, but you can give him a bark."

Although Erwa is not as smart and brave as the "big brothers" of the police dog team, but after all, she is a German shepherd, and she really gets barking.

Before Hua Chong could react, Liu Zhiqin sensed something, "Why am I my brother?"

Hua Chong: "Pfft——"

"Where are you going?" Zhao Fan asked again: "It's almost time for dinner at this point."

Hua Chongdao: "Well, I just left the scene of the crime and went to the canteen of the Municipal Bureau to eat."

"Tut tsk tsk." Zhao Fan said regretfully, "We have a big dinner tonight, and I will cook by myself. The ingredients are all ready. After playing... no, after spending time with your dog son, I will go back and cook. It's a pity that you are not here , or you can eat it."

Hua Chong said with a lot of face: "That's a pity."

Liu Zhiqin laughed, "Feed."

"Huh?" Zhao Fan's ears pointed, "I seem to hear someone laughing."

"No." Hua Chong said, "You heard wrong."

Zhao Fan: "But I still seem to hear someone talking about feed?"

Hua Chong looked at Liu Zhiqin, "You told him?"

"I don't." Liu Zhiqin continued to drive, "It's almost here."

Zhao Fan: "Hackers speak ill of me again."

"No." Hua Chong said, "We're getting off the car, we'll talk next time."

"Okay, okay, I'm going home to cook too, you people don't understand the beauty of cooking." Zhao Fan waved his dog's paw, "Come, say goodbye to Dad and Brother."

Liu Zhiqin said: "It's father and father."

Back at the Municipal Bureau, the dinner was not completed immediately.

The police had been contacting Yu Jun's mother, Yu Qiu, but they could not get in touch.After graduating from high school, Yu Jun left home to work hard, and he was in a state of indifference to his family.

Now, Yu Qiu finally came to the city bureau to visit his son whom he hadn't seen for five years.
