The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The person who is most familiar with the fatal injuries of the victims seven years ago is the forensic doctor who performed the autopsies for them.

"The corpses I dissected, not to mention all the injuries, at least the most critical injuries, have always been with me." Pei Qing tapped her temples, "I can't forget them, especially those major cases, now you ask me to draw pictures, I can draw it."

Since the fatal chest injuries of Yu Jun and Hu Tong were very similar to those seven years ago, on the premise that the murderer was not a real "hate killer", the special operations team focused on the forensic doctor and trace examiner who had direct contact with the corpse. , and observed in detail the fatally injured technical team members.

The vast majority of them have already taken off their criminal police uniforms, leaving only one laboratory technician and two forensic doctors who were interns at the time.

Hong Siguo, the chief prosecutor of the "Hateful Killer" series of cases, resigned six years ago and is currently a teacher at Qiancheng Medical College.

He is in his forties and has never been married. He is a native of Qiancheng and graduated from a prestigious school. He had better development opportunities in a big city, but he still chose to return to his hometown and become a forensic doctor.

His parents were killed in a car accident while he was working on the "Hateful Killer" case.An old policeman from the Qiancheng City Bureau said that he had been holding back his grief and insisted on being on the front line until the special case team was announced to be disbanded.Shortly thereafter, he submitted his resignation application and was the first policeman in the task force to leave.

Over the years, Hong Siguo has lost contact with his old colleagues, and the last meeting was two years ago.

Recently, the word "hate" appeared at the scene of two murder cases. Several technical team members who left the job were aroused by the indignation and unwillingness of the year. Some called and sent messages to ask about the situation, and some even rushed to the PUC.

Hong Siguo didn't care about the progress of the case.

Of course, there are others like him.

Liu Zhiqin came to Qiancheng Medical College, and Hong Siguo was giving a basic course to freshman students.

Liu Zhiqin entered through the back door and sat in the penultimate row of the lecture theater.

In the past two days, the temperature in Qiancheng has started to rise. Although the lecture hall has air conditioning, the temperature cannot drop.Many students fanned themselves while listening to the class.

Hong Siguo was wearing a striped T-shirt and long trousers, looking ordinary but neat.

It can be seen that he is a relatively popular teacher, and the students listened very carefully.When Hong Siguo asked a question, many students below raised their hands.

Hong Siguo's lecture style is gentle, and the interaction with students focuses on politeness and mutual respect. Liu Zhiqin initially observed that he could be called a refined teacher.

Probably because of the high efficiency, the time has not come yet, and the content has been finished.Hong Siguo asked while closing the courseware: "Students, do you have any questions?"

Immediately someone raised their hand below.

Liu Zhiqin thought, this should be Hong Siguo's habit of finishing his lectures, but the time is not up.

"Teacher Hong, tell us about 'Hateful Killer'!" A boy wearing glasses stood up, "Everyone is discussing this matter!"

Liu Zhiqin noticed that after hearing what the boy said, Hong Siguo's expression froze for a short time.

This class is not a forensic professional class, but obviously, the students all know that Hong Siguo used to be a forensic doctor.

Hong Siguo's expression quickly returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "What do you want to hear?"

"Is the 'Hateful Killer' really back?"

"Why couldn't the police catch him back then?"

"Isn't there any evidence left of 'Hateful Killer'?"

"Mr. Hong, did you stop being a policeman because the case was not solved?"

The students chattered a lot, and some of the words were too straightforward, but Hong Siguo never showed that slightly stunned expression on his face.There was always a tolerant smile on his lips, "Whether the murderer this time is the 'Hateful Killer', I am afraid that only the 'Hateful Killer' knows now, maybe he came back again, or someone imitated it. I Looking at the news this morning, the police don’t seem to have made it clear.”

The student asked, "Didn't you ask?"

"Why should I ask?" Hong Siguo spoke slowly, without a hint of offence, "Finding murder cases is the job of the police. I am no longer a policeman. I shouldn't ask. Of course I won't ask."

"But aren't you curious?" the student said, "If I were you, and the murderer who was not caught back then reappeared, I would definitely not even try. I would rush to the police immediately to find out the news."

The other students followed suit.

Hong Siguo said with a smile: "We still have to take the exam, otherwise there will be no grades, and if you fail a subject, you will have to retake it next year."

The students laughed.

Another said: "I think you must not be reconciled, although it is good to be a teacher-you are not a teacher, and now you are bald Jiang giving us lectures, but you also really want to solve the case of the 'Hateful Killer' yourself." ?”

This time, Hong Siguo didn't answer immediately, as if he was caught in some kind of thought.

The students were waiting, and so was Liu Zhiqin.

"Teacher Hong?" a student shouted.

Hong Siguo came back to his senses and smiled, "Of course I want to solve the case myself."

Liu Zhiqin made a fist with his right hand and pressed it against his chin.

The details that the students couldn't see could not escape his sight.Silence was Hong Siguo's real reaction, and the sentence "Of course I want to solve the case myself" after being called "Teacher Hong" was just a polite perfunctory.

"Then will you go back to participate in the investigation?" A student asked: "It's going to be a holiday soon, and you have plenty of time."

Hong Siguo shook his head, "Even if I want to contribute, it's not my turn. Do you think the special case team can enter casually?"

"That's true. Oh, when will the 'Hateful Killer' be caught?"

"He must be very cunning, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get away with it until now."

Hong Siguo suddenly said: "Not all cases will be solved."

"Ah?" A girl said, "Then let him continue to kill people?"

At this time, the bell rang.

Hong Siguo stopped the topic, "The exam is coming up next week, everyone go back and review more. Pay attention to safety and pay attention to the society is a good thing, but you should also pay attention to yourself, don't let this matter affect your studies."

The students left in twos and threes. Hong Siguo locked the multimedia equipment and was about to leave when he heard someone calling him.

He turned around, frowning slightly, "You are?"

Liu Zhiqin showed his ID, "Mr. Hong, if it's convenient, let's find a place to chat."

This is the oldest building in the entire Qiancheng Medical College. There are very few classes arranged every day, and most of the classrooms are given to students for self-study.

There will be no class in the lecture theater for the next period, Hong Siguo put down the packed bags, "Just here."

Liu Zhiqin was very interested in Hong Siguo's reaction, he seemed not surprised by the arrival of the police.

"I learned from Team Gong that you were responsible for the autopsies in the three cases that year?" Liu Zhiqin said.

Hong Siguo nodded, "But I didn't do the autopsy alone."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Cases happen again and again, the forensic team is under a lot of pressure, right?"

Hong Siguo looked down, was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The murder case can't be solved, which policeman doesn't have a lot of pressure?"

Liu Zhiqin said again: "You resigned later, is it affected by this incident?"

"Yes, and no." Hong Siguo cleared his throat, looked up at Liu Zhiqin, "Can I ask a question first?"

"You ask."

"Why are you looking for me? For the case seven years ago, the Municipal Bureau should have the most detailed information. Although I am the chief prosecutor, I have been away from the public security team for a long time. If you want to know the details of the year, you might as well look at it material."

Liu Zhiqin smiled, "But the materials are always not as vivid as the people."

Hong Siguo raised his eyelids not too clearly.

"You don't have to bear too much burden. When we were looking for the relationship between the five cases, we found that after the disbandment of the task force seven years ago, many technical team members, including you, chose to resign." Liu Zhiqin said: " I fully understand your options, but the investigation has been difficult at the moment, so I would like to meet you one by one, have a casual chat, and maybe you can provide details that we have overlooked."

Hearing this, Hong Siguo smiled wryly again.

"We are a bunch of losers, and you still want us to provide you with details?" He shook his head, his tone quite self-deprecating, "If there are any key details, the case won't drag on for long."

Liu Zhiqin said: "I heard you chatted with the students just now, you don't think we can bring the 'Hateful Killer' to justice?"

After another half minute of silence, Hong Siguo said: "Because I have experienced those days. Before the appearance of the 'Hateful Killer', I also believed that the French Open was perfect and that the murder case would be solved. But after all the investigation, I had to accept that One reality is that there are indeed cases that cannot be solved, and the murderer can get away with it."

"I neglected to take care of my parents because of the case." Hong Siguo lowered his head slightly, his eyes darkened. "My mother suffers from rheumatism. Every month, I will drive her to the hospital to see a doctor and prescribe medicine. After the "Killer" task force, I never went with her again, and every time my dad took a taxi to accompany her."

Hong Siguo paused, and continued: "They said they understood me. I am a glorious people's policeman. Of course I should put work first after such a big incident happened in Qiancheng. Later...they were on the way to the hospital There was a car accident, the taxi was run over by a cement truck, and the three of them and the driver died on the spot."

The early summer sunlight streams in through the old windows, and is cut into blunt gray-gold lines by the tables and chairs of the lecture theater.

"I am worthy of my job, but I am sorry for my parents." Hong Siguo sighed: "My parents died because I was loyal to work, but my colleagues and I tried our best, but we still couldn't find the 'Hateful Killer'." .”

Hong Siguo asked: "Tell me, what am I doing? What's the use of me forgetting to eat and sleep like this?"

The sadness and depression emanating from Hong Siguo's body were extremely real, and after seven years, he still couldn't let go of it.

And who can easily let go of such a thing?

When sitting in the back row listening to Hong Siguo's exchange with the students, Liu Zhiqin felt that there were a lot of doubts about him, but at this time Hong Siguo showed only pure pain.

Liu Zhiqin frowned.

"I resigned because I couldn't work like I used to." Hong Siguo continued: "I used to think that being a forensic doctor could realize the value of my life. I could hear the last words of the victims and find the murderer for them. But I didn't do it. After the task force was disbanded, I dreamed repeatedly that they all came back and asked me why the 'Hateful Killer' was still not caught. I couldn't stand it."

Liu Zhiqin saw that Hong Siguo's shoulders were trembling slightly, and his eyes began to turn red.He seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions, but they still showed on his face.

"Sorry." Hong Siguo stood up and walked towards the window. After a while, he turned his back to Liu Zhiqin and said, "Now you should understand that a loser like me can't provide any clues. I even Doubt that a killer like the 'Hateful Killer' will never be found."

Liu Zhiqin said suddenly; "The 'Hateful Killer' from seven years ago no longer exists."

Hong Siguo turned around abruptly, "What did you say?"

Liu Zhiqin controlled the speed of his speech, observing Hong Siguo as he spoke, "The murderer who committed the crime this time is not the 'Hateful Killer' who troubled you, he is just an imitator."

"No." Liu Zhiqin changed his mouth and said, "A scapegoat."

Hong Siguo stood in a daze on the spot, as if he couldn't understand the sudden message, he recovered after a long time, and murmured: "How is it possible..."

The words just now were revealed by Liu Zhiqin on purpose, half-truth and half-false.

Hong Siguo is suspected, but the special operations team has not found a clear motive from him. He is the person who is most familiar with the three corpses seven years ago. If he is not the murderer, when he learned that the "Hateful Killer" was dead, Just a few words may also provide clues.

"He..." Hong Siguo's pupils tightened, "Is he dead?"

Liu Zhiqin didn't answer, but said: "I can only tell you that the murderer this time is not a 'Hateful Killer'."

"Who could it be?" Hong Siguo said, "The second 'Hateful Killer'?"

"That's why I came to you today." Liu Zhiqin's eyes gradually became sharper, "Do you still remember what the fatal wound on the victim's chest looked like?"

Hong Siguo opened and closed his lips several times, "What do you mean?"

Liu Zhiqin directly called up the photos from his phone, "It's okay if you don't remember, I brought them."

Hong Siguo looked at the photo, with veins bulging out of his forehead.

Liu Zhiqin said: "It seems that you still remember."

"They..." Hong Siguo opened his eyes, "Forget it."

Liu Zhiqin took back the phone, "Actually, what I showed you was not the photos from back then, but the two cases this time."

Hong Siguo asked in surprise, "What?"

"The 'Hateful Killer' no longer exists, and the weapon used by the new 'Hateful Killer', as well as the attacking movements are exactly the same as him." Liu Zhiqin looked at Hong Siguo, "Tell me, who can imitate this Where?"

Hong Siguo was speechless, and it took a minute before he turned pale with shock, "Do you suspect it's me?"

Liu Zhiqin simply threw the ball, "You are a forensic doctor, you know better than me, such a fatal injury cannot be an ordinary imitation."

Sweat dripped from Hong Siguo's forehead, "It's not me."

"I didn't say that you are the new 'Hateful Killer'." Liu Zhiqin took a few steps by the window, "But I really want to know, in your cognition, who can imitate the fatal injury so similarly? ?”

Hong Siguo sat down, clenched his fists slowly, and said for a long time, "I don't know. I don't have any clues to give you. I can only say that I have never committed a crime, let alone killed anyone. The chief prosecutor is indeed It was me, but at that time, forensic doctors like us were not the only ones who knew the fatal injuries!"

Liu Zhiqin looked at Hong Siguo for a moment, then nodded, "Excuse me. If you think of anything, please feel free to contact me."

Hong Siguo didn't speak.

Liu Zhiqin said again: "Mr. Hong, although you are no longer a policeman, I think you also hope that the case related to the 'Hateful Killer' can be brought to light, right?"

Hong Siguo said, "Of course."

Liu Zhiqin walked to the door and looked back again.

Hong Siguo didn't look at him, but sat on a chair by the side, staring in one direction motionlessly.

After the case of Hu Tong, people living in Qiancheng became more and more careful. They thought that there would be more murders. Once the "Hateful Killer" appeared, they would not just kill two people and stop. The last time they killed three people , this time there are at least three people.

But the view within the special operations team is that the murderer will most likely not commit crimes again.Because his real goal is Yu Jun, Hu Tong is just a key step to mislead the police. After setting the blame, he completely hides himself behind the shadow of the "hateful killer".

No one wants a murder to happen again, but sometimes a case can be difficult to solve if the killer stops there.

In the evening, when Hua Chong walked into the conference room with coffee, he tapped on the door, "Cheer up."

In the past few days, the special operations team has completed the preliminary investigation of the members of the special task force seven years ago. Several of them are in the same situation as Hong Siguo. And they are very familiar with the fatal injuries of the three victims, but they lack the motive to kill Yu Jun seven years later.

When Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin sorted out Yu Jun's case before, they believed that Yu Jun might have some relationship with the case seven years ago. Jun has nothing to do with each other.

When the "Hateful Killer" was rampant in Qiancheng, Yu Jun was not in Qiancheng at all.At that time, he was participating in a dance competition. From the time No.1 was killed until the task force was disbanded, he never returned to Mancheng.

At the same time, investigations into Huanqiao Town are also underway.

Due to the lack of personnel in the special operations team, this part of the investigation was handed over to the Qiancheng police, and no clues worthy of attention have been found so far.

Everyone is reporting to work, but the work has not brought breakthroughs, and the meeting will make people feel a little dizzy.

During the break, Hua Chong hooked Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin turned the chair, "Huh?"

Some of the other team members went out, while others didn't look at them.

Hua Chong pulled out Liu Zhiqin's collar, pulled the man with the wheelchair in front of him, buried him on Liu Zhiqin's neck, and sniffed vigorously.

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

This was a very short movement, Hua Chong patted Liu Zhiqin on the shoulder after sniffing, and pushed him back.

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

Hua Chong saw that he was looking at him speechlessly, so he said: "My head is dizzy, didn't you just apply Fengyoujing? I'll take a breath."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

It would be better not to explain.

Ten minutes later, the players all returned to their seats.

Yue Yue said: "Flower Team, I have found everyone on the list you gave me last time. What Ying Fei said is different from Yuan Lixi and the others."
