The Book of Death by Heart Poison

In the southwest corner of Qiancheng, Taolin Homeland.

This is a mid-range community. The distance between buildings is moderate, leaving enough space for residents to walk and exercise. The greening is also done well. Even in summer, there are many shaded places for residents to cool off.

Zhang Ruifen got up early in the morning to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. When she went out, she went to Qu Di's room to check. Qu Di was still fast asleep.She closed the door lightly, and then left in peace.Unexpectedly, when I came back, I heard the familiar sound of beating the table from the bedroom, so I quickly dropped the dishes and ran to the bedroom.

I saw Qu Di sitting in front of the computer with her legs crossed, staring at the screen, her skin was as white as a piece of paper that was about to be torn, and she kept beating the table with her hands.

"Xiaodi, Xiaodi!" Zhang Ruifen quickly stepped forward and held his hand tightly, "Mom is back, it's okay, it's okay..."

Qu Di whimpered in his throat, mixed with vague words, "Others know it, they all know it..."

"No one knows!" Zhang Ruifen patted him on the back lightly, "None of us said anything, how could others know?"

Qu Di's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, but his lips were still biting tightly.

In the video, Yu Jun had already finished chatting with the fans, and retreated to the stage to continue dancing. The warm music filled the narrow bedroom.

"Mom bought you your favorite rice field eel today. Let's make eel pieces to eat today." Zhang Ruifen continued to comfort her: "Mom also bought Qiatian's cakes, which are all your favorites."

Qu Di nodded gently in his mother's arms, like a 10-year-old child.

However, he is already 30 years old, and when he is curled up in Zhang Ruifen's arms, the scene is weird and strange.

The son's emotions finally calmed down, Zhang Ruifen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Yu Jun dancing hotly on the screen, with an undisguised disgust on his face.

"Haven't washed up yet?" Zhang Ruifen turned back and took Qu Di's hand, "Let's go, Mom will help you wash."

Qu Di stood up, a head taller than Zhang Ruifen, but extremely thin, the loose summer pajamas hanging on him looked empty.When he walked, his limbs were very uncoordinated. When he took his right foot, his right side would turn sideways, like an inflexible robot.

From the bedroom to the bathroom, Zhang Ruifen held his hand firmly, as if he would get lost if he let go.

The mirror in the bathroom reflected an overly thin face, with too long forehead hair, blocking the eyes like a curtain.

Qu Di stared at himself in the mirror, his lips twitched irregularly, as if suddenly falling ill.

Zhang Ruifen was used to all this, squeezed toothpaste on the toothbrush and handed it to Qu Di, "Son, brush your teeth."

Qu Di didn't resist, but brushed his teeth very slowly.

Zhang Ruifen stood aside, without a trace of impatience, "Son, don't watch that person's live broadcast from now on, okay?"

Qu Di stopped his hand and stared at his mother through the mirror.

"You don't have to worry anymore." Zhang Ruifen stroked his hair, "That person won't broadcast live anymore, and he won't say those words again, trust mom, huh?"

After a long time, Qu Di spat out the foam, nodded slightly, and said vaguely, "Thank you, Mom."

His voice is not like a normal person, his throat seems to have been severely damaged, his pronunciation is weird, and his enunciation is not clear.

Tears flashed in Zhang Ruifen's eyes, "Good son, mother's good baby."

After finishing her work in the morning, Zhang Ruifen looked at the time, it was still early, and in no rush to prepare lunch, she decided to take Qu Di downstairs for a walk.

There is a jasmine planted in the community, and it is the season of jasmine blooming, which is very fragrant.

Qu Di followed Zhang Ruifen downstairs as if she had no thoughts of her own.

There are not many people walking in the community in the morning, the old people who get up early to exercise have gone home, and the young people leave home to go to work.

Zhang Ruifen picked a few jasmine flowers, put them in Qu Di's hands, and said to him with a smile: "Take it, go back and dry it and soak it in water."

At this time, the special operations team had arrived at Taolin Community.

What the Qiancheng Bureau found was that Qu Di’s mother was Zhang Ruifen, who used to be a nurse at the Huanqiao Town Hospital, and her father was Qu Fu, a worker in the forestry factory. But before the overall relocation of Huanqiao Town, Qu Fu suffered from cancer After passing away, Zhang Ruifen did not remarry after that, and took Qu Di alone.

Qu Di has a high school education and has no work record.The mother and son moved to Taolin Homeland six years ago, and Zhang Ruifen worked as a shopping guide in a pharmacy.

As soon as Hua Chong arrived at Taolin's home, he asked Xu Xiaozhou to call public surveillance to check the movements of Qu Di and Zhang Ruifen before and after Yu Jun and Hu Tong were killed.Qu Di is probably the classmate Yu Jun mentioned. Judging from Qu Di's life in these years, he is very similar to Xiao Huan, which roughly fits the criminal profile.But there is currently no evidence to prove that he is related to his family and the two murders.

After arranging the work, Hua Chong noticed that the phone rang, picked it up and saw that it was a voice from Liu Zhiqin.

"I saw Qu Di's mother and son. I'll go talk to them."

Qu Di was wearing the most common cotton linen shirt and cotton linen trousers, and a pair of middle-aged and elderly sandals on his feet that didn't match his age.

Ignoring his face, anyone passing by would probably think he was at least 40 years old.But if you pay attention to his face, you will be frightened by his thin and empty eyes.

When Liu Zhiqin approached, Zhang Ruifen had just been called away by two women, apparently to get something.

"Son, sit here." Zhang Ruifen said, "Mom will be back in a while."

Qu Di mechanically nodded, as if hearing Zhang Ruifen's voice, but did not digest Zhang Ruifen's words.

Liu Zhiqin stopped in front of the thin man.

After several seconds, Qu Di seemed to realize that there was a shadow falling on him, and slowly raised his head.

This posture finally separated his forehead hair from the middle, revealing the hidden eyebrows and eyes.

Objectively speaking, Qu Di's facial features are very good, and he is of the delicate and beautiful type. If he is not too haggard at the moment, and his skin is pale and bloodless, he should be a very popular handsome man nowadays.

"Qu Di." Liu Zhiqin said in an accosting tone, "Why are you sitting here? Where's your family?"

Qu Di opened his mouth in a daze, turned his head slowly to the left, then back again, and said a few words in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

Liu Zhiqin's eyes stopped on his face for a moment, "I'm your classmate."

Hearing this, Qu Di's eyes suddenly widened, his lips began to tremble, and fear and panic emerged like a rising tide.

"Do you remember me?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Qudi shook his head vigorously, and squeezed out viscous syllables from his throat.

"But I know you." Liu Zhiqin said: "Before, you and I, and Yu Jun, we caught fish together in Huanqiao Town."

Qu Di suddenly stood up, with a hideous face, as if he had heard the most frightening thing and met the person he least wanted to see.

"Ah!" he howled, heart-piercingly, "Mom—Mom—"

Liu Zhiqin took a step back and frowned.

It's hard to imagine a 30-year-old adult man calling his mother like an ignorant child in public.Before coming to Taolin Homeland, Liu Zhiqin thought that Qu Di might be abnormal, but he didn't expect him to be abnormal to this extent.

His time seems to have stopped at a certain moment, his body is growing, but his spirit is still a teenager.

This sound made everyone passing by look over, discussing and pointing, Liu Zhiqin heard someone whispering——

"It's that lunatic from Building 3, why did he come out alone? There are no ghosts or ghosts, it's scary."

"Where did the mother go? Why didn't you guard it? What if you go crazy and hurt the elderly and children?"

"His father didn't see it either. Alas, it's annoying to have a lunatic living in the community. If he can't take care of him, he will be sent to the hospital."

his dad?Liu Zhiqin thought about this key word, does Qu Di have a father?

At this moment, Zhang Ruifen rushed back with an extremely vigilant expression.

She was in her 50s, but when she ran to her son, it was like an all-out sprint.

"What are you doing?" She stood between Qu Di and Liu Zhiqin, with cold sweat on her face, extremely defensive, "Who are you? What do you want to do to my son?"

The classmate who claimed to be Qu Di was just to test Qu Di's reaction.But when facing Zhang Ruifen, there is no need to be probing.Liu Zhi directly showed his ID, "Investigating the 'Hateful Killer' case, I have a few questions for Qu Di."

The moment she saw the certificate, Zhang Ruifen showed a look of extreme surprise.

She seemed to be less adept at controlling emotions than her befuddled son, and when she learned that the tall man in front of her was a policeman, she reacted as if she had been discovered by a natural enemy.

As a criminal policeman, Liu Zhiqin is a half-time monk, but he has come into contact with many people involved in the case. It is impossible for Zhang Ruifen's reaction to have nothing to do with the case, but is she the murderer the police are looking for?

That's not necessarily the case.Because her psychological quality is really bad.

"We don't know anything." Zhang Ruifen's voice trembled, and she grabbed Qu Di's wrist and was about to leave, "I don't know about the 'hate killer'. My son has never even been out of the community. You can find someone else."

Liu Zhiqin stood in front of the two, "I am performing official duties, please cooperate."

Zhang Ruifen's sweat-soaked clothes under her armpits made her tremble all over, and it took her a long time to utter a word: "But we really don't know what 'Hateful Killer' is!"

"It's okay, what I want to ask is not the 'Hateful Killer'." Liu Zhiqin turned to Qu Di, speaking slowly, "The person who was killed by the 'Hateful Killer' was named Yu Jun. Go to primary school in the town."

Qu Di made that animal-like cry again, and the name "Yu Jun" seemed to activate the terrifying mechanism installed in his body.

"Go away!" Zhang Ruifen slammed into Liu Zhiqin like crazy.She is not tall, but the strength of the explosion at this time is not small.

Liu Zhiqin dodges quickly, and stretches out his hand to support Zhang Ruifen, so that Zhang Ruifen will not fall down.

"Yu Jun... Yu Jun..." Qu Di didn't seem to notice his mother's embarrassment at all, and repeated the word "Yu Jun" as if chanting.

Liu Zhiqin let go of Zhang Ruifen, straightened his clothes, and said in a business-like tone: "I'm not targeting your family. Like Yu Jun, Qu Di used to be a student of Huanqiao Town Primary School. Most of Yu Jun's classmates, Alumni, we've visited them all."

Zhang Ruifen couldn't listen anymore, "My son doesn't know Yu Jun, he's not in good health and spirit, I beg you, don't bother us again."

"Not in good spirits?" Liu Zhiqin was very patient, "What's the reason?"

Qu Di was still reading from the side: "Yu Jun, Yu Jun."

"By the way." Liu Zhiqin looked at Zhang Ruifen again, "You said just now that you didn't know Yu Jun, but why did Qu Di keep saying this name? It involves a murder case, and it's a murder case that the whole city is concerned about. I won’t let you go, and I hope you can cooperate.”

Zhang Ruifen quickly grabbed Qu Di's arm, "Son, mom will take you home, stop nagging!"

"Mom." Qu Di said suddenly: "Didn't you say in the morning that Yu Jun would never show up again? Why did they come to ask Yu Jun again?"

Qu Di said this in a childish tone, but to both parties who heard it, it was like a thunderclap.

Zhang Ruifen stood still, her lips were moving all the time, but she couldn't make any sound.

"Yu Jun will never show up again?" Liu Zhiqin's gaze was like a knife, "Why would you say such things to your son?"

Qu Di blinked his eyes slowly.Perhaps blocked by his forehead hair, his eyes didn't look like human eyes, but like the weakest creature, looking at the monster that was about to hurt him.

"Get out! Get out!" Zhang Ruifen once again blocked Qu Di from behind, "Don't any of you want to hurt my son!"

"Yu Jun, Yu Jun!" Qu Di shouted, "Mom! Yu Jun is dead!"

Zhang Ruifen turned around in astonishment, and actually slapped Qu Di on the face.

Qu Di froze for a moment, covered her burning cheeks, then squatted on the ground, shrinking her body as much as possible, "Don't hit me, save me, and don't hit Yu Jun, don't come here..."

More and more people gathered, and Liu Zhiqin felt that the person squatting on the ground at this time was not a 30-year-old adult man at all, but the man who was facing the clutches of an adult 20 years ago, desperately trying to break free, but couldn't break free. weak children.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhang Ruifen knelt on the ground and hugged Qu Di, "It's mom's fault, mom is confused, you hit mom, you hit back, I'm sorry..."

When Hua Chong came, what he saw was exactly this scene.

Liu Zhiqin walked up to Qu Di, helped him up, and said to Hua Chong, "Take him back to the bureau first, and apply for a search permit."

Qiancheng Bureau, inquiry room.

"Qudi's mental state is not suitable for questioning, so I will ask you the questions that need to be answered by him." Hua Chong folded his hands on the table and looked at Zhang Ruifen sharply, "If I were with you I can't get a real answer here, so I have to disturb Qu Di."

Since entering the inquiry room, Zhang Ruifen has remained silent, until Hua Chong said this, she suddenly raised her head and her shoulders trembled.

"Are you going to talk now?" Hua Chong asked, "What's the relationship between you and Yu Jun? Why does Qu Di keep calling Yu Jun's name? What does 'Yu Jun won't appear again' mean?"

Zhang Ruifen clenched her teeth and made a gurgling sound.

Hua Chong picked up the tablet and clicked on it, "My team members checked your home computer and found Yu Jun's live broadcast room in the favorites. At 6:25 this morning, Qu Di also watched his video. And In this video, Yu Jun mentioned the highly concerned topic of child sexual abuse in chatting with fans."

Zhang Ruifen held onto the edge of the table tightly, her chest puffed up because of her violent inhalation.

Hua Chong said: "The viewing records show that Qu Di watched every live broadcast of Yu Jun, and watched it repeatedly. And you are very afraid that he will mention this name. Why?"

"I'm not afraid." Zhang Ruifen said in a low voice: "He can watch whoever's video he wants, police, do the police even care about this?"

"If you have nothing to do with the case, of course I won't take care of it." Hua Chong said solemnly, "But now I suspect that Qu Di, and you, are related to the two recent murders."

Zhang Ruifen hissed: "We didn't do anything!"

"Let's not talk about the case for now." Hua Chong said again: "Go back to 20 years ago, when you were still living in Huanqiao Town, what happened to Qu Di?"

Zhang Ruifen shook her head vigorously.

"Why do you think I found you? There are tens of millions of people in the city, and I will disturb you without any clues?" Hua Chong's expression became serious, "Twenty years ago, several children were killed in Huanqiao Town. Yu Jun was one of the boys who were injured in the incident of sexual assault by outsiders, and he mentioned that there was a classmate with him at the time."

Zhang Ruifen shouted in disbelief: "He said it? Impossible! Who did he tell it to?"

Hua Chong leaned back, "So Qu Di is indeed that classmate."

Zhang Ruifen was speechless.

"It was you and your husband who rescued Qu Di and Yu Jun, brought the two children home and took good care of them." Hua Chong said, "But because they thought it was a scandal and thought that even if they called the police, those who hurt Qu Di and Yu Jun It is impossible for Yu Jun's people to be caught—you don't even know who the perpetrator is, so you concealed this matter, thinking that when the child's physical injuries heal, he will be like an ordinary child. If none of you speak out, everything can be treated as if it didn’t happen at all.”

Zhang Ruifen's eyes filled with tears.She raised her hand and covered the lower half of her face as if she couldn't bear it, as if the sky that she had been supporting year after year had finally collapsed, making her breathless.

"But Qu Di has become what it is now." Hua Chong continued: "Both he and Yu Jun have received appropriate treatment, but no one has cared about their psychology. Yu Jun grew up with injuries all over his body, and But Qu Di was imprisoned when he was 10 years old. The way you protect him is to keep a secret for him. When you and Qu Di saw Yu Jun appearing in the live broadcast and mentioned the topic of child abuse..."

"Stop talking!" Zhang Ruifen suddenly yelled, "You will kill my son! Did he recover after a long time?"

Hua Chong frowned, "Do you think Qu Di is getting better now? Who hurt him?"

"He will get better!" Zhang Ruifen's eyes sparkled with hatred, "Shouldn't the police protect the weak? What right do you have to sit here and ask me? You policemen can't even protect children of how old!"

Qu's house was tidy, but the moment Liu Zhiqin stepped in, he knew that Zhang Ruifen and Qu Di were not the only ones who often came and went here.

The shoes in the shoe cabinet, the clothes on the balcony, the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, the cups on the living room table... They all show that there is a third person living here.

And Xu Xiaozhou, who had been checking the surveillance video, yawned, and slapped Haizi next to him, "Monkey, look, isn't this the driver who drove us off last time? What's his name? Brother Fu?"
