The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Coming to the villa in Shanning County again, Hua Chong stood in the lobby on the first floor with poor lighting, what he felt was different from the first time he came.

A few days ago, both the special operations team and the local Nanfu police came here only to investigate the death of Liang Yijun.Now, Huachong must unearth the villa's past, its secrets that have been veiled by age - if it has any.

From today's point of view, every corner of the villa is gloomy and gloomy. This is not only because of the color tone and decoration style of the interior lighting facilities, but also because there are few windows and the location is generally high.Even if this is the case on the first floor, the corridors on the second and third floors are even more depressing, like the long and gloomy prison corridors described in novels.

Thinking of the word "prison", Hua Chong was startled suddenly.

In fact, the last time Haizi and Haizi conducted a site survey on the second floor, he had a similar vague feeling. The walls on both sides of the corridor were blue-black, and there were large areas of shadows where the corridor lights could not reach. Squeezing the corridor, people who walk in it can't help feeling uneasy, restless and other emotions.

Of course it can't be a prison here.But has anyone been imprisoned here?

Hua Chong couldn't help frowning.

Lianghai County bought a small piece of land in the barren hills at a low price 30 years ago and hired people to build villas.Her own explanation is that at that time she was very envious of others who could live in big villas, and her business was still in its infancy, and she was unable to buy villas in Nanfu City and several neighboring counties, so she had to settle for the next best thing.This villa is her gift to herself.

There seems to be no problem with this explanation, but when you think about it carefully, there are many unreasonable places.Since this is the villa that Lianghai County built for himself when he made his fortune, it must have an extraordinary meaning to Lianghai County, even though Lianghai County later possessed unimaginable wealth for ordinary people, and could afford the most expensive villa in Nanfu City and even the whole country. Because of love, she would not allow this villa to be abandoned in the wilderness.In addition, Lianghai County said that he has never held any activities here, and he has almost never lived here. The reason is that after the completion, he felt that Shanning County is too far away from Nanfu City, and the county seat of Shanning County is far away from this mountain. There is a long distance.It is reasonable for such a situation to happen to ordinary people, but who is Liang Haijun? She created a bloody career in the business world at a young age, and is currently the only woman among the top ten entrepreneurs in Nanfu City. Is it wrong?

She may have concealed the real reason for building the villa.

"Flower team." Haizi's voice came from the second floor, "Come up here."

Hua Chong walked up the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs overlooking the hall on the first floor.From this angle, the whole hall can be seen clearly. The stained glass windows are above, and the lower part is like a sealed jar. This structure is similar to foreign churches. When the sun is good, the light shines in through the stained glass. It is a beautiful and romantic picture scroll, but because the glass has not been cleaned all year round, it has already become dull, and the light that shines through is dirty, as if it has mold.

There is a broken piano on the right side of the hall.Next to the piano is a rectangular dining table, which is very small, the kind used by a family of three or five, and there is a similarly sized dining table in Hua Chong's apartment in Los Angeles.

On the left side of the hall is a set of sofas - two single sofas, a couch that can seat three people, and a set of coffee tables in the middle.

There was a long distance between the piano and the sofa, which seemed very empty.

Hua Chong suddenly realized something, his eyes deepened.

"Flower team?" Haizi called out again.

Hua Chong said, "Come here and have a look at this hall."

Haizi went in without knowing.He has already surveyed the hall. Since the first floor is the main activity place of Mengxiang employees, the floor and furniture are full of their footprints and fingerprints.After Liang Yijun disappeared, it rained heavily. Li Aiqi and others went into the mountains to find someone, and brought back a lot of mud.

"What's wrong in the hall?" Hai Zi hurried to Hua Chong's side, and followed Hua Chong's gaze to look down.

Hua Chong said: "Do you think this hall is very uncoordinated?"

Haizi is a trace inspector, and he pays attention to very detailed things. Hua Chong asked him this question, "Is it uncoordinated?"

"Let me ask you." Hua Chong said, "If you had a villa with such a big living room, what would you put there?"

Haizi subconsciously said: "I am such a clean criminal policeman, how can I afford to buy a villa, but he can afford to lose money. He is a rich second generation. Although he is as poor as me, his family is rich."

Hua Chong turned his head to look at Haizi.

Haizi scratched his head, "I really can't afford it."

Hua Chong said: "Then Pei Qing bought a big villa, please help him decorate the living room, how do you decorate it?"

Haizi became more energetic, pointing with two fingers, a bar here, a dance floor there, the piano must be placed on a high platform, and it must be very expensive, the dining table must be luxurious, and at least 12 people must be able to dine at the same time , there is preferably a crystal chandelier above the table.

Hai Zi blah blah blah blah blah blah, Hua Chong said: "So did you find out that the living room of a villa is completely different from the living room of an ordinary family, and the layout of the hall below is the style of an ordinary family. "

"Ah!" Haizi understood now, "That's why it looks so empty! Why didn't I notice it when I was down here."

"It's not just you, I'm also standing here, and I feel that the more I look at it, the more something is wrong." Hua Chong asked, "Are you sure the sofa, table and chairs are all items from 30 or [-] years ago?"

Haizi nodded, "Sure, who still uses this kind of furniture now."

"That is to say, when Lianghai County renovated this house, it was planned in this way." Hua Chong said: "Or, shortly after the renovation, the furnishings were changed to the current look."

"But why?" Haizi was puzzled, "I can't figure it out."

Hua Chong once again thought of Liang Yijun's mysterious father.

The decoration on the first floor presents a sense of privacy in a small family. Perhaps Liang Hai County did not intend to use this place as a place to entertain guests and hold parties from the very beginning.To her, this is just an ordinary home, so even though it is very large, there are only dining tables and sofas in the ordinary family living room. The only thing that is different is the piano.

Did she ever live here with Liang Yijun's father?Is this the home she prepared for herself and Liang Yijun's father?

But why was it abandoned after it was built?

One mystery after another, Hua Chong slightly closed his eyes, turned to Haizi, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

"Oh, I only checked the guest rooms during the last inspection. Today I opened all the rooms." Haizi said, "In a room on the third floor, I found a set of footprints."

Hua Chong asked: "Whose?"

"Only when we go back and make comparisons can we draw a formal conclusion." Haizi said, "But I can basically be sure that it belongs to Liang Yijun."

Hua Chong immediately said: "Take me to have a look."

The light in the corridor on the third floor is worse than that on the second floor. Only two lights in the corridor are still working, one is dim, and the other is constantly flashing, like a scene in a horror game.

"People from Mengxiang have also come up, and there are their footprints in the corridor." Haizi walked forward quickly, "But inside the room, there are only traces of Liang Yijun alone."

It was a strange-shaped room with only one cell-like window, three walls were cabinets, and a table was placed in the middle. There were no furniture such as beds and seats. It was not like a place where people lived, but like a storage room.

"The footprints and fingerprints are new and old. Liang Yijun has come to this room quite a few times." Haizi said, "I opened the cabinet and checked it. It is full of books, especially children's books."

Hua Chong frowned vigilantly, walked to a bookcase, and when he opened it, the smell of old paper and ink came over his face.The smell was so strong that he subconsciously recognized Kai's face.

Haizi took out a mask from the investigation box, "The smell here is quite strong, wear this."

Hua Chong took it, but didn't put it on immediately, because he suddenly saw that on the top shelf of the cabinet, there were a few books whose titles seemed to be suspense-themed books.

Liang Yijun re-arranged the study two years ago and purchased a set of large bookshelves.It was also two years ago that Liang Yijun bought suspense novels frantically and displayed them in his study like handicrafts.

Hua Chong put on latex gloves and took down one of the books.The cover of this book is very old, and the inside page can be seen that it was published more than 30 years ago. It is a foreign translation novel.There is a line of beautiful handwriting on the title page - don't watch a peacock's display.Xu

"Don't watch a peacock display." Hua Chong said, "What does this mean?"

Haizi was even more confused, "Literally? Because peacocks are very beautiful, will you be fascinated by peacocks when you watch them unfold? Then you will lose your judgment?"

Hua Chong's eyes fell on the last signature.Xu?The owner of this book is surnamed Xu?Lianghai County built this villa in the first place just for this person surnamed Xu?

Earlier, he had deduced that Liang Yijun's father had lived here, so these items might belong to Liang Yijun's father.But this line of characters does not seem like a man can write it.It is so graceful, as if it came from the hands of a bookish woman.

Lianghai County can write such characters, but Xu is obviously a surname here.

Hua Chong calmed down, and took other mystery novels from the cabinet.They are all foreign translated novels without exception, and there is a sentence written on the title page of each book, followed by the word Xu.

"Flower Team, I found it." Haizi handed over the phone, "I thought 'Don't watch a peacock's screen' was Xu's personal perception, but it's actually just a sentence in this book. You can just type it in online and find it. He's just doing excerpts."

Hua Chong turned to the title page of another book, "These sentences may all come from the book, and he has the habit of copying impressive sentences from the book on the title page."

Hai Zi said: "But who is this Xu? Why does this case become more and more mysterious?"

Hua Chong said while taking the book: "Come on, help me move all the books out of the cabinet."

Haizi was surprised, "Do you want to look it up one by one?"

"These books contain the clues I want." Hua Chong said: "Otherwise, why did Liang Yijun come here so many times? He should have discovered something here, so that there was a change two years ago."

Shanning County finally cleared up after days of torrential rain, and the sun was scorching the land.The light outside is very dazzling, but in this room, it still looks dark.

"Strange." Haizi said, "Why don't you have any books by domestic authors. Flower Team, do you have any?"

Hua Chong said: "No, but considering the time of publication, this is not surprising. More than 30 years ago, there may have been no suspense novels in the modern sense in China, and even if there were, they were very rare."

"That's true." Haizi nodded, "But I just read children's books, except for the Grimm's fairy tales and Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, most of them are written in China."

Hua Chong is holding a children's book in his hand, it is very old, and some pages have even fallen apart.But its old is not only because of time, but also because it has been read many times.There are obvious creases inside, and there are many traces of graffiti.

Who read them?Is it also the person surnamed Xu?

Hua Chong walked to the only window, squinting to meet the dazzling sunlight.The world is only a thin line, and the eyelids cast crimson shadows on the retina.Hua Chong gradually pictured a young woman in his mind. She may not be beautiful, but her handwriting is very good. She doesn't have many hobbies. She likes to read suspense novels most in her spare time.

But there are too few suspense novels that can be bought. She searched and searched, but could only buy foreign dubbed novels.But even so, she read it with relish, and after finishing a book, she copied her favorite sentences on the title page.

Later, she had her own child, and she hoped that her child would love reading as much as she did, so she prepared children's books early.There are more children's books on the market than suspense novels, and she buys them as soon as she sees them. Slowly, there are more children's books at home than suspense novels.

The baby is too young to read by herself, so she reads it over and over again, and tells it to the baby gently and patiently.

then……

Hua Chong's eyebrows pressed deeper and deeper.

Then what happened to this woman?

Is this woman Liang Haijun?Not like, but if it wasn't Lianghai County, who would it be?

Hua Chong pressed his hands on the window sill, and there were five figures in front of him, only three of them had clear faces, Liang Yijun, Liang Haijun, and Ge Wanqun, while the other two shadows were in the thick fog, Liang Yijun's father and Xu.

Are they the same person?

Haizi continued to read those books, and suddenly said loudly: "Flower team!"

Hua Chong turned around, "What?"

"What's the name of the author of the book at Liang Yijun's house?" Hai Zi excitedly said, "Is it called negligence?"

Hua Chong quickly took the book from Haizi's hand, only to see that there were four words "negligence and depression" on it.

Haizi's heart was beating fast, "Is it Xu who is negligent? Did he sign the money in a different way?"

The handwriting on the title page and the handwriting on other books are obviously written by the same person, and the habit of copying sentences is also the same, but in the place where "Xu" should be written, "negligence and decline" is written.

"I have to take it easy." Haizi stood up and walked quickly around the room, "Neglect Lanshan used to live here, read a lot of foreign suspense novels, and then tried to write suspense novels himself? He probably hopes to publish it." , but due to various reasons, it was not published in the end. Later, Liang Yijun found the novel "In the Clouds and Fields" here, and knew what happened here, as well as his own life experience, so he helped him publish it? Flower team, this Could Neglect Lanshan really be Liang Yijun's father?"

Hua Chong was silent.

What Liang Yijun found in this villa was not only what the police had grasped, something must have destroyed his life until two years ago.

He had no father since he was a child, and Liang Haijun kept his mouth shut. During the process of growing up, he may have always had a knot in his heart that could not be untied. This knot was about his father. Outside of family members, there is a high probability that it is also because of this knot.

But what kind of truth can stimulate him to become a different person?

Father Liang, Xu, and negligence, how many people are there under these symbols?

When Hua Chong went to Shanning County, Liu Zhiqin was investigating the Haijun Group with the Nanfu Municipal Bureau.

The special operations team once suspected the mother-child relationship between Liang Haijun and Liang Yijun, but after DNA testing, Liang Haijun was indeed Liang Yijun's mother.

Lianghai County is not from Nanfu. She was born in a village called Hongjiang to the south of Nanfu. She came out to work when she was very young.

Liang Haijun seldom mentioned her family, and her only family seemed to be Liang Yijun.When investigating her background, Liu Zhiqin had an obvious feeling that Liang Hai County's life seemed to be broken. This breaking point was when she persuaded the owner of the leather goods factory and took over the leather goods factory.

In the past, she was just a working girl who came to Nanfu City from a poor village to work hard, working hard every day to make a living.Later, she became a decision maker. In order to revive the dying leather goods factory, she led the workers to work desperately. She had to manage the production workshop and find sales channels. Countless relationships were waiting for her to open up.

She is very capable and lucky enough, so she succeeded.

And Liang Yijun was born in the years when her career took a turn for the better.For Lianghai County, this should be regarded as double happiness.

However, when Liu Zhi Qinyue investigated, a question became clearer - at that time, Liang Haijun was devoting himself to his career, running around, and seemed to have no spare time to think about relationships, let alone conceive and have children.There is a big difference between people. Some people only need to rest for three hours a day to be full of energy. Liang Hai County may indeed be able to balance career and relationship, but is pregnancy and childbirth also possible?Those were the most difficult years for Liang Haijun.

There are no workers in the leather goods factory in the Haijun Group anymore. The business in Lianghai County is getting bigger and bigger, and the current team was formed later.

After a lot of effort, Liu Zhiqin finally found information on some employees of the leather factory. Most of them have passed away, but a few of them still live in Nanfu City.

Liu Zhiqin decided to meet them.
