The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The next day, some employees of the special operations team and Mengxiang drove to Yuzhu Mountain in Shanning County.

It rained again at night, the air in the mountains was fresh, and there was a faint fishy smell from the mud. The moss along the road was full of life, white fungus grew under the trees, and big snails crawled slowly across the wet place.

The car can only drive to a place about 1 km away from the villa, and you need to walk behind.

Haizi sighed as soon as he got out of the car, "There is a villa in this kind of place? I don't think it's a villa, it's an immortal!"

Xu Xiaozhou has recently changed his taste, instead of watching his son-in-law God of War, he reads cultivating truth novels instead. Hearing what Haizi said, he wanted to get up and talk with him, but Liu Zhiqin coughed, and he came back to his senses, remembering that he was Come investigate.

Passing through a winding path, the building ahead became more and more clear, and under the cover of the surrounding towering strange trees, it revealed a bit of gloom.

The iron gate was rusted and was useless. Children, not to mention adults, could come in and out at will. After the incident, a security tape was pulled up outside the villa, and the bright color contrasted sharply with the darkness around it.

There were criminal police officers from the Municipal Bureau guarding the yard. After Hua Chong greeted them, he went straight to the villa.

There is a common smell of old buildings in the villa, which is caused by the building materials being damp and moldy for a long time, and the interior is not ventilated.The hall on the first floor has a high ceiling and old-fashioned decoration. The crystal chandelier is as huge as a lady's gauze skirt, but if you look closely, you can find that the materials used in both the chandelier and the tables, chairs and sofas are low-end.

The living room kept the original appearance when Li Aiqi and others left. There were many drink bottles and food packaging bags on the table. Cao Fei said, "We had a carnival here the night we came."

Hua Chong looked towards the stairs, "Where is Liang Yijun's bedroom?"

"Flower Team, let me take you up there." A local policeman said.

Hua Chong looked back at Liu Zhiqin, "I'm going up."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "I'll take a look below."

Hua Chong called Hai Zi and followed behind the policeman.After going up to the second floor, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the whole floor was covered with the green light of emergency lights, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Although it is midsummer, the temperature in the mountains is much lower than that in the urban area, and the villa is just in the shadow of the trees, with one side hardly getting the sun, and the temperature is lower.

Haizi was not wearing enough clothes, so she couldn't help shivering, and actually got goosebumps.

Hua Chong was very sensitive to the movement around him, turned his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Flower team, aren't you cold?" Haizi patted his arms quickly, "I'm getting goosebumps from the cold."

Hua Chong remembered that he had lost a coat in the car, "I have clothes in my bag, why don't you go down and get them now?"

Haizi just said that he would not wear a coat when it was so cold, "No need, just get used to it."

Hua Chong didn't persuade much, "Yes."

"However, this place is indeed a bit weird. If I were an employee of Mengxiang, I would choose this place to inspire." Haizi finally got rid of the goosebumps, "The mysterious castle 30 years ago was uninhabited for many years. There is no light in the forest, and no one knows what happened in the castle in the past years. .”

The police officer who was walking in front braked suddenly, Hai Zi couldn't react in time, and directly bumped into the back of the man, both of them almost fell down.

Hua Chong: "..."

"Hey buddy!" Haizi covered his painful face, "What's wrong with you? Is there a door blocking you?"

The police officer who was hit was also very innocent, "What did you say just now?"

Haizi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Brother, you are so majestic as a hill, are you afraid of ghosts?"

The policeman's face turned green—maybe it was just green from the green light.

"Okay." Hua Chong reminded: "Go your way."

"Yes, yes, yes." After such a collision, Haizi was no longer cold, and patted the policeman on the back, "Brother, let me tell you, this ghost is not scary, what is scary is people's hearts..."

Liang Yijun's bedroom is on the far side of the second floor, and the trace inspector in Nanfu City has already done a round of investigation.

The door opened, and Hua Chong could smell a faint smell of alcohol.

"Liang Yijun once drank here." The policeman pointed to several places marked with white lines on the ground, "When we came, we found three beer cans."

Hua Chong nodded.The autopsy report also showed that Liang Yijun drank alcohol before he was killed.

The policeman said: "But what is more strange is that the employees of Mengxiang all said that they did not bring alcohol that day."

Hua Chong said: "If Liang Yijun put wine in his backpack, people in Mengxiang wouldn't know if he brought it?"

Liang Yijun’s backpack was placed on the desk at the side of the bedroom. It was a medium-sized hiking bag, black, with positive red lines on both sides. It was opened, and there were notebooks, tablets, and toiletries that had not been taken out.

"No." The policeman shook his head, "During our investigation, each of them said that before they set off, everyone agreed not to bring alcohol, because their main purpose of coming this time was to find inspiration for the work at hand, to drink It’s a mistake, you can party all night on the night you arrive, but you don’t drink, and you wake up the next day and start working. They also said that Liang Yijun never drinks at dinner parties, and everyone didn’t expect him to bring alcohol.”

Hua Chong squatted beside the sign, frowning in thought.

A person who doesn't usually drink, why should he carry three cans of beer when he agrees not to drink?Not only to carry, but also to drink alone?

Is this wine brought by him?Or was someone handing him beer before he was killed?

If the murderer brought the wine to Liang Yijun, what was the purpose?Just get him drunk?Pei Qing had done a second autopsy and a second toxicology test, but it did not reveal that Liang Yijun had been poisoned.

Liang Yijun, a person who doesn't usually drink much, why would he obediently obey the murderer?

If the beer was brought by Liang Yijun, the reason seems to be even more difficult to find.

"We took all the cans back for inspection. There was no injection hole, and there was no poison inside or outside." The policeman said, "It's just normal beer. The problem of alcohol is very strange. The person in Dreamland said that in order to avoid a few 'drunkards' secretly They brought alcohol, and checked their luggage to make sure there was no alcohol."

Hua Chong said, "Didn't you check Liang Yijun's luggage?"

"Because he doesn't like to drink." The policeman said, "Besides, Liang Yijun is the owner of the villa, so it's not easy for everyone to dig through Liang Yijun's bag."

Hai Zi said: "Flower Team, if Liang Yijun drinks the wine on his own initiative, he doesn't need to bring it in his backpack. Didn't he bring the cleaner to do the cleaning? Then he can put the wine somewhere. But he drinks I really didn’t understand this behavior.”

Hua Chong hummed, "Let's look at other things."

Because it is the bedroom at the end of the corridor, this room has two windows, and the daytime lighting is better than other rooms. Standing by the window and looking out, the vines and twisted branches that are gnashing their claws make people feel desolate.

There were traces of lying on the bed, but the quilt had not been lifted, so it could be seen that Liang Yijun was just resting on the bed and did not fall asleep, and he might not even take off his shoes.

The urinal and sink in the bathroom were used, the shower was not.

Inside and outside the room were the footprints of all Dreamland employees who were in the villa that day, and it was impossible to tell whether the footprints appeared before or after Liang Yijun disappeared.

Hua Chong glanced around, and gradually traced Liang Yijun's trajectory in this bedroom - in the early morning of the 12th, after the carnival ended, he hastily cleaned up the first floor, opened the door, and went to the bathroom to wash his face because he was tired. , sat on the edge of the bed, and then lay down.Soon, he sat up again, walked to the desk, took out the prepared beer, one bottle, two bottles, three bottles, the empty bottles were thrown on the ground, and he fell on the bed again.

And after that?

Someone knock on the door and take him away from here?

Or did he leave voluntarily?

The footprints of the gate of the villa have been destroyed by Mengxiang employees, and it is impossible to judge how Liang Yijun left.And no one heard the noise in the night, which almost shows that Liang Yijun did not quarrel with the murderer in the villa.

All the footprints found at the scene matched the employees of Mengxiang, so either the murderer was among the employees, or the murderer had never entered the villa at all. He was quietly waiting for Liang Yijun to attend the meeting somewhere in the forest, just like a head waiting beast of prey.

But why was he sure that Liang Yijun would appear?

The Nanfu police have thoroughly searched Liang Yijun's communication records. There is no suspicious news. They are all work contacts and system news. The only news that is somewhat abrupt comes from Ge Wanqun.

Ge Wanqun asked Liang Yijun if he would go home to have dinner with Liang Haijun next weekend.Liang Yijun replied that he was too busy with work and couldn't spare time recently.

One person asked formulaic questions, while the other answered concisely, as if they were just going through the motions.

What makes people a little puzzled is, why didn't Liang Haijun ask Liang Yijun himself if he would go home for dinner?Liang Hai County is busy, but there is still time to send a message to his son for a minute, right?

Pulling back his thoughts, Hua Chong thought of those three bottles of wine again.

There must be a reason for a noticeable change in a person's behavior and habits.

Liang Yijun didn't usually drink alcohol, but he drank three bottles in one go before he disappeared. Could it be that he had an agreement with the murderer for such an abnormal behavior?He went out alone to meet the murderer in the middle of the night, and because of his anxiety, he prepared three cans of beer in advance?

The so-called "drinking strong and cowardly"?

As a result, the case will be more complicated.

Hua Chong was thinking, when he suddenly heard Hai Zi calling him.

"Flower team, come here and take a look."

Haizi stood by the window, pointing to the window sill with a finger in latex gloves.

It was the right-hand side of the two windows, larger and with a better view.It's just that in the woods, no matter how wide the field of vision is, it's of little use.

"What is this?" Hua Chong noticed a scratch on the window sill.

"Not only here, but also below." Haizi squatted down and pointed to the bottom of the window, "There are also here."

The policeman said: "Last time Xiaojiang said that Liang Yijun's fingerprints were found here."

Xiaojiang is the trace inspector of Nanfu City Bureau, and Haizi had already seen him during the meeting yesterday.

"Fingerprints..." Hua Chong stood beside the traces, while observing, put his hands on the window sill, and pressed his lower abdomen to the bottom of the window.

Haizi excitedly said: "Yes! That's it!"

The policeman didn't understand what the two were talking about for a while, and was taken aback by Haizi's reaction.

"Fingerprints are also different in detail. When you open and close the window and touch it, the area of ​​the mark will be small, but if you press your hands on the window edge for a long time, the mark will be deeper." Haizi said: "And if you just open and close the window, the abdomen will generally not stick to the window. down."

Hua Chong said: "Before Liang Yijun disappeared, he stood here for a long time."

"Is there a problem with that?" the officer asked.

"It's a big problem." Hua Chong looked deeply into the depths of the forest, because the branches and leaves obscured him, even at noon when the light was best, he couldn't see too far away, "It should be a viewing place when it is being built The window, but after decades, it has long been useless for viewing, especially in the middle of the night, what can Liang Yijun see for so long?"

"Someone." Haizi said, "He passed through this window and saw someone!"

Hua Chong still didn't look back, "He might not just see someone, but stare at this person."

Haizi imagined that scene, and the goosebumps that were finally smoothed out rose again, "I'll go down and have a look, what if there are any traces underneath?"

Hua Chong nodded, but said: "There have been several heavy rains, and the footprints have been washed away long ago."

The trace inspector is most afraid of rain, Haizi shrugged, "It's okay, what if there are other traces."

In the hall on the first floor, Liu Zhiqin called Cao Fei aside, "On the 13th, when Li Aiqi proposed to go back to Nanfu City to inform Liang Yijun's family, did you take the initiative to stay?"

Cao Fei is 32 years old, and he is considered half the person in charge of Liang Yijun's team. The team leader resigned three months ago. A vice president of Mengxiang asked Cao Fei to be in charge of the team's affairs, but he has not been promoted or raised for the time being.In a company like Mengxiang, the active people are all young people in their 20s. When they turn 30, they either transfer to management positions or find another job. Only a small part of them are still working as ordinary employees.

Compared with Li Aiqi and others, Cao Fei looked much calmer, but he was still a little nervous when facing the police. He never dared to look at Liu Zhiqin, and always stared at the ground when he spoke.

"I don't think it's okay for everyone to leave in a rush. What if Liang Yijun comes back and there is no one to take care of him?" Cao Fei said, "And we have two cars in total, and we will all drive back. By then, Liang Yijun will not even have a car."

There is a big difference between Liu Zhiqin and Hua Chong. He doesn't have Hua Chong's strong empathy ability, and at certain times he appears extraordinarily indifferent.He asked: "Both cars drove back, and you were left alone. At that time, Liang Yijun's life and death were uncertain. There might be a murderer hiding in this mountain. Are you not afraid?"

"I..." Cao Fei's face became extremely ugly.

"I'm just making a hypothesis." Liu Zhiqin's tone and expression were cold.When looking at the records provided by the Nanfu police, he noticed Cao Fei.

At that time, someone asked whether Liang Yijun had been kidnapped or whether Liang Yijun was dead.Under such circumstances, the normal reaction of ordinary people is to leave quickly, call the police, and let the police handle it.

But Cao Fei actually offered to stay and wait for Liang Yijun.Li Aiqi said that it was not safe to be alone, and Cao Fei refused to keep the two men, and told them to go back to Nanfu City to inform Liang Yijun's family.

How many people are needed to notify the family?Why did he insist on refusing others to stay with him?

Is he not afraid?

Or does he need to be left alone, doing something that cannot be seen by his colleagues?

Liu Zhiqin said: "Your purpose is not to wait for Liang Yijun, but to dismiss colleagues?"

Cao Fei was shocked, his pupils shrank sharply, "I didn't! I didn't kill Liang Yijun!"

"Did I say you killed him?" Liu Zhiqin folded his arms, "I just want to know why you chose to stay."

Cao Fei was breathing heavily, with cold sweat on his face, staring at Liu Zhiqin, and soon looked away again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it now, I will still come to you." Liu Zhiqin's tone changed slightly, "After Li Aiqi and the others left, have you stayed in the villa?"

Cao Fei's eyes drifted, "I didn't go anywhere, but I actually regret it a bit."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "What do you regret?"

"I should go back with everyone." Cao Fei said: "There were so many people at that time, and I was the person in charge of the group, I felt that I should be considerate of everyone, but when I was really the only one left, I still felt guilty. I After staying up until midnight, when I heard the sound of a helicopter, I thought it was the police, but it turned out that it was the search team from the Liang family."

Liu Zhiqin didn't speak, his eyes firmly covered Cao Fei.

Cao Fei said anxiously: "I swear I'm not lying. You can go and find out. Liang Yijun and I have no grievances or enmities. We usually have a good relationship. How could I kill him? Where would I have the guts to kill him?"

Soon, Hua Chong and Hai Zi came down from upstairs.Hua Chong walked up to Liu Zhiqin, and Cao Fei was wiping his sweat.Hua Chong looked at Cao Fei, and said to Liu Zhiqin, "Go to the scene now, or later?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "Let's go now. The weather in the mountains is getting faster, take advantage of the good weather."

Cao Fei seemed relieved.

From the villa to the place where Liang Yijun's body was buried, there was no road for cars to drive.When Hua Chong passed the parking lot, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I'll go get a piece of clothing."

Liu Zhiqin was surprised, "Are you cold?"

"I'm not cold." Hua Chong didn't get in the car, he bowed and fumbled, revealing a small part of his lower back.

Looking at it, Liu Zhiqin thought of the scene in the dormitory last night.

Hua Chongren is different from the former and the latter, now his voice is clean and upright, but last night he hummed, deliberately seducing people.

Hua Chong took out his coat and shook it twice, "Monkey is cold, let him wear it."

Monkey is Liu Zhiqin's nickname for Pei Qing and Hai Zi. Now the entire criminal investigation team calls them that. Xu Xiaozhou broke it down. Pei Qing is the tall monkey, and Hai Zi is the short monkey.Hua Chong also started calling monkeys when he was brought up, but usually not in front of monkeys.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiqin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hua Chong was about to ask Haizi to come over to get clothes, when Liu Zhiqin suddenly said, "Pei Qing's coat is also in the car, let Hai Zi wear Pei Qing's."

Hua Chong didn't think as much as Liu Zhiqin, but after thinking about it, he understood why Liu Zhiqin said that.

This younger brother is possessive like a pervert.

Finally Haizi got Pei Qing's coat, frowned and said, "Isn't this Pei Hou'er's?"

Hua Chong was speechless immediately, why did the monkey despise the other monkey?
