The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Hua Chong didn't really want to "confiscate" Liu Zhiqin's two months' salary.Instead, he was the one whose wages were "confiscated."When he was still in Los Angeles, he had handed over his salary card to Liu Zhiqin, and Liu Zhiqin was responsible for all the family's expenses. He occasionally asked Liu Zhiqin for some pocket money.

He was quite satisfied with this, and actually felt that it was a very solid thing that the money was not on him.Before meeting Liu Zhiqin, he would not spend money lavishly—after all, he had a mortgage to repay—but he always had no plans, and some small money was spent in a daze.Later, when he handed over the card to Liu Zhiqin, he had a faint sense of pride in working hard and focusing on supporting his family.

After talking about the salary, Hua Chong squatted by the bookshelf, looked up at the books on the two walls, as if thinking about something.After a while, he said, "Go to the bedroom and living room and have a look. I think the study room is a big problem."

Liu Zhiqin thought about it and understood, "Has the study been redecorated?"

"It shouldn't be a redecoration, but this set of furniture was bought later." Hua Chong tapped on the edge of the bookshelf, "The bookshelf, desk, color, style, and material are different from the wardrobe in the bedroom and the wall cabinet on the balcony. "

Liu Zhiqin looked around in the bedroom and living room, "They are all in light colors, but the styles are indeed different. Except for the study room, the rest of the furniture is complete and older. It should be custom-made and installed during the renovation. Custom-made furniture is not There will be no study room, but Liang Yijun has changed all the furniture in the study room."

Hua Chong was still looking at the suspenseful books on the shelf one by one, and said slowly: "Why did he change the furniture? Did something happen here?"

Liu Zhiqin turned his head, "Murder case?"

In the murder case under investigation, the furniture in a certain room of the victim's home was suddenly replaced at a certain moment. From the perspective of the criminal police, the first thing that comes to mind is that the victim tried to completely remove the traces and cover up.

Hua Chong flipped through a book and shook his head, "Not necessarily. Assuming that something really happened here, with Liang Yijun's financial resources, he can completely change his place to live instead of just changing the furniture in the study. And he changed two walls There is a lot of movement in the bookcase, isn't he worried that the neighbors will find something?"

Liu Zhiqin raised his eyebrows, and asked for a moment, "Do you still remember the time when I just returned the rented house?"

Hua Chong was startled, and then remembered.When he was in Los Angeles, he and Liu Zhiqin both lived in Huajing District, the difference was that he bought his house, while Liu Zhiqin's house was rented.After confirming the relationship, Liu Zhiqin returned the rented house and moved in with him.

Although Liu Zhiqin didn't bring much luggage, it occupied his previous private space, especially the study.Because he thought his armchair was uncomfortable, Liu Zhiqin even bought an ergonomic chair.

Hua Chong said: "Because there is a demand, I added..."

Liu Zhiqin said: "And later, you gave me several keyboards, including gaming keyboards. There is no place to put them in the study, so you bought a cabinet for me to put the keyboards in."

Hua Chong said: "Liang Yijun's previous bookcase couldn't hold so many newly bought suspense books, so he simply abandoned the old bookshelf and made a new one?"

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "It's possible. He used to be a policeman, so it's impossible for him to read a lot of time. And before March of that year, his book purchase records were very few. It stands to reason that he doesn't need two walls of bookshelves at all. Then, during the initial renovation, he may have only chosen small bookshelves and display walls. Later, as he bought more and more books, he replaced the small bookshelves and display walls with the current huge bookshelves.”

Hua Chong patted the book in his hand lightly, "The problem was in March two years ago, what happened to Liang Yijun?"

Liu Zhiqin's gaze fell on Hua Chong's hand, and he suddenly said, "Did you take this book apart?"

Hua Chong came back to his senses, "No, it was already taken apart."

Liu Zhiqin's expression changed slightly, "It was still in plastic when I saw it just now."

"So there are two copies?" Hua Chong immediately turned to the bookshelf, but didn't see the one Liu Zhiqin was talking about, but saw another one in the corner that was also unpacked.

Liu Zhiqin has found an unopened copy.

The three books are exactly the same, and the titles are all called "In the Clouds".

"It's also a suspense novel." Hua Chong turned to the copyright page, "It was published in January last year, and the author was negligent."

Liu Zhiqin quickly scanned the bookshelf, "There are only three copies of this book."

Hua Chong looked at the cabinet above the bookshelf, his gaze suddenly deepened.The two bookshelves adopt a patchwork structure of transparent glass doors and wooden doors. The upper and lower shelves are wooden doors, and the middle is a large glass door.He had opened the lower wooden door not long ago, and the books inside were similar to those in the glass-door bookshelf, only the top wooden door hadn't been opened yet.

"I'll go and have a look." Saying that, Liu Zhiqin pushed the armchair by the desk over, stepped on it and opened the wooden door.

Hua Chong stood below and asked, "What is it?"

"Books." Liu Zhiqin took out two books directly, "They are all "In the Clouds and Fields", there are... at least two hundred copies."

Hua Chong took the book first, then grabbed Liu Zhiqin's hand, and helped him down, "It's all unopened?"

"En." Liu Zhiqin said: "It seems that the two books on the shelf below have been dismantled."

Hua Chong asked: "Have you heard of the writer Neglect and Decline?"

"No." Liu Zhiqin walked to the computer again, and clicked into Liang Yijun's order, "Strange, he has this book in his purchase record, but there are only two copies."

Hua Chong said, "Then where did the other two hundred copies come from?"

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "I'll contact the publisher right away."

Shanning County, Gardenia Hotel.

Although the Haijun Group controlled the news in the media, the gossip that "the only son of Lianghai County was killed in Shanning County" was still widely known in Nanfu City.Shanning County, the poorest and most remote place in Quannanpu City, suddenly became the focus of people's attention. Almost everyone in the county was discussing gossip about wealthy families, and the brave ones took a few brothers to explore the mountains, calling it "helping" When the police solve the case, the timid ones are like the employees of this hotel, who are eating melon seeds and talking about it.

Seeing the police coming to the door, the melon seeds eater stopped eating immediately, trembling, and hurriedly called the manager.

"This person lived in our house." Looking at the photo provided by Xu Xiaozhou, the manager was both nervous and excited, "He, is he the murderer?"

There was an exclamation all around immediately.

Xu Xiaozhou half turned his body, and everyone retracted again, grabbing the melon seeds on the plate.

"Did he meet anyone during his stay here?" Xu Xiaozhou asked, "Which one of you communicated with him?"

A fat woman came over, "I, I delivered him meals a few times, and I also cleaned his room."

Xu Xiaozhou asked: "What did you say?"

The woman thought for a long time, "I didn't say anything, he just felt lazy and sick."

"But he is very quick to give money." The woman said again: "We are not in your city here, so we don't like to give tips. Every time I clean up and deliver meals to him, he gives me ten yuan in cash. .Ah, should I take the money out?"

Xu Xiaozhou felt a little strange.Now that electronic payment has become popular, Wang Zhifeng still has a lot of cash on him?He used his mobile phone to pay for many purchases in Shanning County, but the only small fee was cash?

The woman fumbled in her bag for a long time, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I used up all the money."

"It's okay." Xu Xiaozhou shook his head, "He didn't say what is the purpose of coming to Shanning County?"

The woman said: "No. We all felt very strange about this. Business is not easy. He stayed for so many days after he came here. We thought that this must be a big customer, maybe he came to discuss some business. It turned out that he basically I don’t go out, I go out once in a while, and I just have a meal. Sometimes I don’t go out for a meal, so I call the front desk and let us deliver it.”

What the manager and staff said was consistent with the monitoring. Wang Zhifeng did stay in the hotel for a long time until he left on July 7.The public monitoring system in Shanning County is still incomplete. It is difficult to find out where Wang Zhifeng went after leaving the hotel on the 24th.But on August 24, he paid another 8 yuan through the QR code.During this period of time in between, he may have spent in the mountains.

If it weren't for the continuous torrential rain, maybe his footprints could be found in the mountains.

Xu Xiaozhou found the person who received the 12 yuan through the QR code.His name is Zhang Yong, he is in his 40s, and he sells Liangpi at a roadside stall.

The cold noodle business is very good in summer, Zhang Yong sells hundreds of bowls every day, and he doesn't remember Wang Zhifeng at all.Xu Xiaozhou asked again and again, but he just said that he really had no impression.

Xu Xiaozhou asked again: "Do you usually set up a stall here?"

Zhang Yong proudly said: "Yes, it has been on display for more than ten years."

Xu Xiaozhou looked up and looked around, and found that there happened to be a surveillance camera.

However, the result of monitoring and monitoring was that Zhang Yong was not here at all during the payment period.

"Ah..." Zhang Yong said: "I remembered, the weather was bad that day, and it looked like it was going to rain, so I closed the stall early. On the way back, I sold a few bowls one after another."

From the place where Zhang Yong set up a stall to his home, there was no surveillance, so Xu Xiaozhou could only ask, "Since only a few bowls were sold, you should have an impression of this person?"

Zhang Yong looked at the photo again, frowning tightly, "I don't remember well, there was a person wearing a raincoat at the time, maybe it was him, but I couldn't see his face."

The last time Wang Zhifeng paid with a mobile phone was on August 8, but whether the person who paid is Wang Zhifeng still has to be questioned.According to the account information, Wang Zhifeng set up a small amount of password-free payment, 10 yuan without even entering a password.

Now, Wang Zhifeng has disappeared without a trace.

Why did Wang Zhifeng come to Shanning County?And why did it disappear?Unwilling, Xu Xiaozhou went back like this, and made up his mind to do mopai in Shanning County.

There is a vegetable market across the street from the hotel, selling vegetables inside and fruits outside.

"I've seen him, and he bought peaches from me." A gray-haired old man said, "I wanted to make up for it, but they said no. I have a deep impression on him."

"They?" Xu Xiaozhou said, "Did you see him with another person?"

"Yes, yes." The old man nodded, "Two young men, the one who gave the money is the other one, and no compensation is allowed for 100 yuan."

Xu Xiaozhou quickly asked, "What does the other person look like?"

"Tall, thin, and neatly dressed." The old man squinted his eyes and recalled, "It's not like someone on the same road as him."

The first thing Xu Xiaozhou thought of was Liang Yijun.

"Look, is this this?" Xu Xiaozhou found Liang Yijun's video and photos from his phone.

The old man saw it and said, "Yes, that's him."

Xu Xiaozhou immediately informed Hua Chong of this key information.

"Liang Yijun met Wang Zhifeng in Shanning County? And bought peaches together?" Hua Chong was both surprised and expected.

When investigating the villa on Yuzhu Mountain before, he deduced from every detail that Liang Yijun had "cooperated" with the murderer and left the villa voluntarily to go to the murderer's appointment. What Liang Yijun saw on the balcony of the bedroom was the murderer .

Therefore, it is not surprising that Liang Yijun and the murderer met face to face in Shanning County.

It's just that at that time, the police hadn't got the clue of Wang Zhilong.

Perhaps Liang Yijun was not a simple victim. Before he was killed, he might not have thought that he would be the one who died.

"Wang Zhifeng wants to kill Liang Yijun, and Liang Yijun also wants to kill Wang Zhifeng?" Xu Xiaozhou said: "Is there some kind of game between them? Liang Yijun is the final loser?"

Hua Chong thought over and over again, "Check Liang Yijun's itinerary first. He definitely didn't drive to Shanning County by himself to meet Wang Zhifeng."

Because Wang Zhifeng stayed in the hotel for a long time, it seemed very special to stay outside for a few hours a day.Xu Xiaozhou discovered through monitoring that on July 7, Wang Zhifeng left at 21:11 am and did not return until 34:3 pm.

After verification by Mengxiang, Liang Yijun was supposed to go to work on this day, but asked for leave temporarily.Asking for leave and taking the initiative to change shifts almost never happened to Liang Yijun.

"Flower team!" Xu Xiaozhou was a little nervous, not because he was afraid of anything, but when he saw the hope of solving the case, the blood all over his body began to clamor, "Although Lianghai County used money to settle the incident two years ago, for Liang Yijun, Wang Zhifeng's life is always a hidden danger, he wants to get rid of Wang Zhifeng, and Wang Zhifeng also wants to avenge Wang Zhilong."

Hua Chong asked Xu Xiaozhou to continue to follow this line, calm down and think, but felt that there was still something that didn't make sense.

If Liang Yijun wanted to kill Wang Zhifeng because he thought Wang Zhifeng was a hidden danger, then he didn't have to do it himself.His relationship with Liang Haijun was not as close as that of a normal mother and child, but he was the only son of Liang Haijun. The most important thing was that his reputation would have an impact on the Haijun Group, and Lianghai County could not sit idly by.

As long as he told Liang Haijun that he wanted Wang Zhifeng to disappear, Lianghai County would definitely find a way to deal with Wang Zhifeng, and it would never be Liang Yijun's turn to do it himself.

Then why did Liang Yijun ask for leave to go to Shanning County to meet Wang Zhifeng?According to the old farmer, Liang Yijun also bought peaches for Wang Zhifeng, which didn't seem to be contradictory.

The two of them seem to be planning something together rather than playing a "game" of killing each other.

Hua Chong suddenly had the urge to smoke.

Wang Zhifeng is missing and looks like a murderer.But if the murderer is someone else, is it true that Wang Zhifeng, like Liang Yijun, has already...

The smoke rose, and everything in front of him became a little unreal, but Hua Chong's eyes were still bright.Regarding Liang Yijun's death, the gossip in Nanfu City can be described as varied, and the key factor that cannot be avoided is the wealthy family.Everyone couldn't help labeling Liang Yijun as the second generation rich, thinking that his death was related to wealth.The truth may well lie in the other direction.

Hua Chong couldn't help but think of the suspenseful novels in Liang Yijun's family, especially "In the Clouds and Fields".Liu Zhiqin is investigating the relationship between this novel and Liang Yijun. What is known so far is that the author has only published this book due to his negligence. He does not have any social accounts. The sales that can be found on various platforms are very poor, almost all of which are tied Other books are sold in bundles.

Not all authors will operate social accounts, but now the publishing industry is very competitive, and there are very few new authors who do not have social accounts at all.Except for the physical book, there is no release record of this novel on the Internet. It is likely that the author was negligent and submitted the manuscript directly to the publishing house.But how could the publishing house accept a submission from an unknown newcomer?Who is behind the negligence?

"In the Fields and Clouds" is not long, with only 212 pages including illustrations, it is just over [-] words.Hua Chong doesn't like to read novels, let alone suspense novels—his work is "wonderful" than all suspense novels, but he has roughly finished reading this book when he is free to investigate the case.

The story isn't great, and sales speak for its mediocrity.It is about an ethical tragedy that happened in a big family, reflecting the good and evil of human nature. It is probably because almost all the people in the whole family died in cannibalism, so they were assigned to suspense books.

While thinking, Hua Chong picked up "In the Clouds and Fields" again, and turned to a page at random. Soon, his eyes gradually became focused.

When he watched it last time, he had a weird feeling, and now he knows what this weird feeling is all about.Many words in the novel seem outdated, and the description is also decades ago.It is not surprising that modern people write about ancient times and modern times, but there are contemporary characteristics between the lines, and "In the Clouds and Fields" is like a "contemporary" novel written by people 30 or [-] years ago, and it also discusses the most intense ideological conflicts at that time .

Maybe it is because it is "outdated", so the sales are not good, and no one cares about it.There are still stocks online, which are leftovers from the first printing.

Through these words, Hua Chong seemed to see a figure who was writing vigorously. He was writing his fantasy, but his stories had never been known until they were published under the name "In the Clouds".

Nanfu City Bureau's investigation of Mengxiang has expanded from the suspense team to the entire company. Due to the suspicion of committing a crime, Li Aiqi and others are still under police surveillance.

At the beginning, everyone said that they didn't know why Liang Yijun disappeared. After a few days, many people pointed the finger at Cao Fei.

"Cao Fei and Liang Yijun are in a competitive relationship."

"Cao Fei was not able to become the person in charge because of Liang Yijun."

"If Cao Fei didn't kill Liang Yijun, why did he stay in the villa? Isn't he afraid?"
