The Book of Death by Heart Poison

"With the help of the police?" Liu Zhiqin turned the armchair and faced Hua Chong who had just returned.

"Do you remember the case of the writer in Dongye City last year who murdered and hid the corpse and instigated strangers to commit crimes?" Hua Chong casually threw the phone on the table, "Xiao Ming and Xiao Ju came to Los Angeles because of this."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "Of course I remember, the writer Tomb Heart lives in a town below Los Angeles. What is the name of a female college student who was influenced by him?"

Hua Chongdao: "Li Hongmei is an English major at Dongye University of Foreign Studies."

"Well, Li Hongmei." Liu Zhiqin stood up and leaned against the edge of the table with folded arms, "Li Hongmei killed four roommates. Although there were factors of long-term bullying and being influenced by the heart, her most fundamental purpose was to let The police have noticed her, and those innocent relatives in her hometown who died innocently."

The case was finally taken over by the special operations team. Shen Xun personally led the team to Li Hongmei's hometown. The local bully who had been at large for more than ten years was finally brought to justice.

"On the way back from Huanqiao Town, I thought over and over again. Yu Jun's investigation of his interpersonal relationship has been very in-depth. Unfortunately, we still haven't found a convincing motive." Hua Chong said: "The only blank place is The abuse he suffered in childhood. His family didn't know that the person who violated him had long since fled, and another child was violated at the same time as him. During a certain period of time, many girls in Huanqiao Town were violated, including minors. And it’s a primary school student, it would definitely ignite public opinion now, but at the time, it was all gone.”

After a pause, Hua Chong said again: "Other possibilities have been ruled out, and the murderer's motives are likely to be hidden in those evil deeds back then."

Liu Zhiqin thought for a moment, then raised his eyes halfway, "A certain boy or girl who was violated never accepted the ending of 'let it go'. For 20 years, he has been looking for the person who hurt him, and he may have found it, but he couldn't. Let him pay the price, he may not have found it, he has no clue, and pulling the police into the network is the last thing he can do in desperation?"

Hua Chong said solemnly: "It may also be the parents. I think the direction of the investigation needs to be readjusted. At that time, most people did not call the police because of lack of awareness or fear of 'scandalous events' being exposed, but some people took their children to the police station. We have to find the policemen who worked at the Huanqiao Town Police Station and find the victim as much as possible."

Liu Zhiqin lowered his head, closed his eyes lightly, and his brain was rapidly processing the received information.

The notebook he was carrying was placed on the table behind him at this time, and various programs were running, making slight noises.

The notebook is silver-gray, and because of the backlight, it looks close to dark gray from Hua Chong's perspective.

And Liu Zhiqin was wearing a dark gray shirt.

Hua Chong looked at him for a while, and suddenly felt "whimsically" that the notebook was very similar to Liu Zhiqin, both of which were processing information at a high speed, and they were all dark gray.

Maybe the notebook is the prototype of Liu Zhiqin, and the handsome guy with his arms folded in thought is the essence of the notebook.

Hua Chong shook his head, secretly thought that he was using his brain too much, and then his thoughts were seriously split, and he thought of such a thing inexplicably.

When Liu Zhiqin raised his head, Hua Chong hadn't looked away yet.

"Flower team?" Liu Zhiqin asked, "What are you thinking?"

Hua Chong cleared his throat, and said against his conscience, "I'm thinking of a case."

What he said was quite honest, and he had the majestic posture of holding a meeting for the criminal investigation team. Anyone else would probably believe it.

But Liu Zhiqin knew him too well, knew all his micro-reactions like the back of his hand, and knew at a glance that what he was thinking about just now was not a case.

But Liu Zhiqin was not in a hurry to speak.

"Leading the police into the network is indeed a way of thinking, and after the investigation, the only clue that Yu Jun can pursue is that he was raped with his classmates when he was young." Liu Zhiqin turned around, and from the stack of reports, Finding the autopsy reports of Yu Jun and Hu Tong, he added: "But there is one place that I feel contradictory, and there is a slight sense of separation."

Hua Chong approached, "Is this why the murderer used 'Hateful Killer' as a shield?"

"Yes." Liu Zhiqin said: "Assuming that the line of thinking just now is close to the truth, and the murderer himself is the victim, he must have tried all possibilities and all hopes have failed before he took such a crazy move. Similar There are not many cases, but not none. Li Hongmei from Dongye City is a typical example. Their appeal is very clear—to use themselves as clues to let the police investigate the cases of the year. In this way, they will not want to completely deprive themselves come out."

"From this point of view, the reason why the murderer used the 'Hateful Killer' should be that the 'Hateful Killer' is too famous in Qiancheng, and he needs the 'Hateful Killer' to attract attention for himself." Liu Zhiqin said again: "However, the autopsies of Yu Jun and Hu Tong and the trace examination at the murder scene all point to another possibility—he wants to let the 'Hateful Killer' be his scapegoat."

Hua Chong took a long breath.

What Liu Zhiqin said just now is also a doubtful point that he has not sorted out clearly.

"But now I finally have a new idea." Liu Zhiqin said again: "Let's find the criminal police and Xiao Huan who worked in Huanqiao Town first, maybe they can provide unexpected clues."

Hua Chong nodded, and put his right hand around Liu Zhiqin's neck, "Thank you, brother Liu."

"That's right." Liu Zhiqin loosened his frowning brows slightly, the light in his eyes was much softer than before, "What were you thinking at that time?"

Hua Chong didn't react for a moment, "When?"

Liu Zhiqin said, "Just when I asked you."

Hua Chong remembered, subconsciously pursed his lips.

"Huh?" There was no one else in the office for the time being, Liu Zhiqin suddenly raised his hand, pinched Hua Chong's chin, and rubbed his thumb on Hua Chong's lower lip intentionally or unintentionally.

It was all because the weather was too hot and the air conditioner was not turned on enough, Hua Chong felt a little dry.

"Ah..." I don't think it's good to just say that you are a master of notebooks, so let's just deal with it.

"Don't 'ah'." Liu Zhiqin's eyes turned cold, and his aura immediately became fierce.

Hua Chong raised the corners of his downcast eyes.

He had seen Liu Zhiqin interrogate the suspect, sometimes watching the surveillance, sometimes beside Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin is always gentle and tame, seemingly careless, but when he puts pressure on the suspect, his whole person becomes different, fierce and cold.

At this time, Liu Zhiqin actually treated him in the same way as a suspect, he felt a little strange.

An inexplicable throbbing stirred in the tailbone and lower abdomen, the blood was quietly boiling, and the heat was clamoring.

He had to admit that such Liu Zhiqin had a special charm.He was easily drawn into this oppressive aura.

There were calluses on Liu Zhiqin's fingers, which rubbed against his lips, making it tingly and itchy.

Hua Chongqing couldn't help snorting, and the coldness in Liu Zhiqin's eyes was instantly covered by a smile.

"I think you are a master of notebooks." Hua Chong finally "recruited" under the "interrogation".

Liu Zhiqin raised an eyebrow, "Me? A notebook?"

The phone was on the table behind Liu Zhiqin, Hua Chong tilted, wiped Liu Zhiqin's body and took the phone, "I'll take a picture for you."

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

"Yes, that's it." Hua Chong has a good set at the shooting scene, which is no worse than a trace inspector, but he is much worse when taking life photos.

The person in his circle of friends who is best at taking pictures is Ming Shu, the captain of the Serious Crime Squad of Dongye City. Xiao Ming takes a random selfie with a male model, and the food he takes is also unique.

He’s different, he doesn’t have an artistic sense, it’s good to be able to frame all people without blurring them.

Seeing that the phone was facing him, Liu Zhiqin smiled cooperatively.

However, before laughing enough, I heard Hua Chong say: "Okay, let's see!"

This kind of feeling, it's like an old actor who joined the crew of a naive director, and the director yelled "cut" before the credits had time to come out!

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

Not really looking at photos.

"The notebook is dark gray in this way, and your shirt is also dark gray." Hua Chong explained to the photo: "It is calculating, you are thinking, and you are connected to it here, isn't it very similar to the notebook? "

After finishing speaking, Hua Chong also poked Liu Zhiqin's waist, which is where Liu Zhiqin and the notebook are connected in the photo.

Liu Zhiqin grabbed Hua Chong's hand with his backhand.

Hua Chong: "Huh?"

"Flower team." Liu Zhiqin was a little helpless, "Do you know why they are connected?"

Hua Chong glanced at the photo.

Of course he knew why it was connected, but he swore he didn't mean to.

Liu Zhiqin sighed, "Because you beat me up again."

Hua Chong laughed dryly, "Hahaha..."

It's not the first time that he has smashed his beloved boyfriend.

When I woke up in the morning, I thought that Liu Zhiqin's awake appearance was very good, so I quickly took a picture, it was blurred.

I went to the information warfare team to "visit relatives" and thought Liu Zhiqin's serious look was very handsome, so I hurriedly took a picture, but it was blurred again.

Hua Chong thought about it, but found that every time Liu Zhiqin took pictures of himself, he felt very emotional.

Maybe I have to go to Xiao Ming's circle of friends to get some experience?

"Then I'll take another picture." Hua Chong took the phone back, "Don't move, I promise not to blur this time."

Liu Zhiqin thought, is it because I moved?I didn't move just now.

Hua Chong took another picture, although this time it was a little better than before, but the overall composition is still a bit hard to describe.

And the words that came out of Hua Chong's mouth made Liu Zhiqin's eyelids twitch even more.

"Look, it's like a notebook this time, isn't it?"

Haizi just heard this sentence when he walked to the door, and thought suspiciously: What is a notebook?The notebook is perfect?Notebooks will also become fine?

Obviously they are all Chinese characters that I know, but I can't understand them when they are combined.

Haizi told Pei Qing about this.

Pei Qing beat her old classmate mercilessly, "Do you know why you can't understand?"

Haizi got impatient, "How dare you say that I will beat you just because I'm single."

Pei Qing rolled her eyes, "Please pay attention to your quality."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Haizi said, "Say it quickly!"

Pei Qing said slowly: "Because you are a monkey."

Haizi: "..."

After Pei Qing finished speaking, she still didn't forget to patch it up, "It was Liu Zhiqin who said you were a monkey, and I just helped you to deepen the impression."

Haizi raised his right fist.

Pei Qing took a step back and frowned, "What do you want? Su..."

"I want you to know that I, this spindle, can really beat someone's dog's head violently!"

Pei Qing ran away.

"Stop!" Haizi shouted while chasing him, "Why are you running? Aren't you scolding very quickly?"

Blurred photos have to be taken, dog fights have to be fought, and the business cannot be let go for a moment.

Liu Zhiqin went through the procedures directly from the Qiancheng City Bureau, and obtained the list of police officers from the Huanqiao Town Police Station, as well as some case records.

Administratively, Huanqiao Town was originally managed by Qiancheng. When Huanqiao Town was relocated in batches, the police were the last group to move into Qiancheng.Most of them were assigned to other street police stations and continued to do familiar jobs.But some people took off their police uniforms for personal reasons.

Today, only 12 people are still working as police officers.

Wang Xuquan is one of them.He is 43 years old and works at the Chulin Street Police Station on the east side of Qiancheng.

It was he who signed a child abuse investigation report 20 years ago.

Due to the long time span and incomplete past files, there was a certain degree of loss during the relocation. This is the only report obtained by the special operations team after intensive inspection.

The work at the Chulin Street Police Station is relatively leisurely. Although there are a lot of trivial things, but after dealing with these things for a long time, I gradually get used to them.

When a colleague shouted at the door, "Old Wang, the leader of the Municipal Bureau has something to look for", Wang Xuquan was shocked, and couldn't figure out how the leader of the Municipal Bureau would look for him.

In the conference room, stood a young man who was at most 30 years old.

Wang Xuquan felt that he did not look like a member of the Municipal Bureau.

"Captain Wang." Liu Zhiqin introduced himself and quickly got to the point, "The city bureau has insufficient information. I want to learn more about the child sexual abuse incident that happened in Huanqiao Town more than 20 years ago."

When Wang Xuquan heard that Liu Zhiqin was a member of the special operations team, he was taken aback. At this moment, when Liu Zhiqin mentioned the unsolved case, his muscles tensed up.

"Could it be that the case back then is related to the current 'Hateful Killer' case?" Wang Xuquan frowned, "It doesn't make sense..."

"It's not necessarily related. We're just doing a preliminary background check on the victim." Liu Zhiqin said, "Don't be nervous, just say what comes to mind."

Everyone in Qiancheng was talking about the "Hateful Killer". At this time, he was suddenly questioned by the special operations team, and it was hard for Wang Xuquan not to be nervous.

He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and tried to calm down, "There have indeed been several vicious violations against girls in our town. You found one. In fact, we have received, I think, at least three reports. We They all learned about the situation from the girl and their parents in time, and conducted a lot of investigations, but in the end they couldn't find the perpetrator. You know, with the technical conditions more than 20 years ago, it was difficult to determine who the suspect is."

As Wang Xuquan said, he stood up, poured himself a glass of cold water, drank it a few times, and said: "Also, the injuries to the children are not serious, and the perpetrators didn't treat them like they raped adult women. Can you tell me that?" Do you understand?"

Liu Zhiqin nodded.

Children around ten years old are not fully developed at all. If they are subjected to serious violence, they are likely to be seriously injured or even die.

The perpetrators were so "proportionate" that the children were only slightly injured, or not injured at all.This is one of the reasons why all the investigations at that time were lost.

"There is a big difference between that era and the present. Parents today will seek justice for their children if their children are even a little bit angry at school." Wang Xuquan continued, "But it was different before. This kind of thing is a big deal. It's not easy for parents to report to the police for the 'scandalous matter', and more families are dumb and eat coptis. Even the four families who reported to the police came to the police station not long after and told us 'forget it'."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Forget it?"

Wang Xuquan sighed, "Otherwise, what can we do? As soon as we investigate, the children's abuse will be exposed. They are all female dolls. Which parent wants their children to be pointed at? And the investigation can't find the perpetrator. You may not know the situation in our town at that time. There were many bosses from outside. These people had a lot of money. People, they won’t admit anything they say. Without evidence, we can only release him.”

"Parents can only comfort themselves—fortunately, the child was not seriously injured." Wang Xuquan shook his head, "I know that if such a case were brought up now, it would definitely be severely investigated and punished, but it was really impossible to do it more than [-] years ago."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "As far as you know, did the perpetrators act alone or in an organized way?"

"I think some of their bosses influence each other." Wang Xuquan said, "They are all grown-up men. If they don't bring women, they just stare at children. It's not as good as a beast!"

Liu Zhiqin's eyes gradually sank, and his pupils became extraordinarily deep.

Wang Xuquan was very uncomfortable, so he made a conscious effort to look away.

Liu Zhiqin didn't speak for a long time, Wang Xuquan finally couldn't help it, "Also, is there anything else?"

"I'm thinking, children are being abused repeatedly, and no perpetrator has been caught. Even if the parents call the police, the police can't find out why." Liu Zhiqin looked at Wang Xuquan meaningfully, "Then the police are playing a role in it." What role?"

Wang Xuquan was stunned for a few seconds, and broke out in a cold sweat when he understood, "We absolutely did not do nothing, let alone accomplices. We are really restricted by objective conditions and cannot solve the case!"

Liu Zhiqin looked at Wang Xuquan for a while, then changed the subject, "Are only girls violated? Are there any boys violated?"

Wang Xuquan was shocked, "The boy will be..."

His surprise was real, not fake.Liu Zhiqin said: "So in your impression, only girls are violated?"

"Yes. Some families refused to call the police or provide clues." Wang Xuquan said, "A few colleagues and I went to their homes specifically. They said they didn't want their children to be hurt again, and told us not to ask any more questions in the future."

Liu Zhiqin asked directly: "What about Yu Jun, do you still have any impression of him?"

"I know his mother." Wang Xuquan said, "Her mother was someone's mistress and made trouble at the police station. Yu Jun was really pitiful when he was a child."

When Liu Zhiqin was questioning Wang Xuquan, Hua Chong got news about Yu Jun's classmate Xiao Huan.

The Xiao family was the first group of townspeople to move from Huanqiao Town to Qiancheng, but three years after moving to Qiancheng, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother quit their jobs and took Xiao Huan to move to Xincheng in the southeast.

Five years ago, Xiao Huan committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression.
