The Book of Death by Heart Poison

"She..." Teacher Jiao pondered for a moment, as if she had fallen into a long memory.

Liu Zhiqin looked at the old man and waited patiently.

"I remembered." Teacher Jiao finally said, "Most of the time she reads alone, but sometimes she will be with others. They are sitting at the table facing the window on the second floor. I have seen them several times."

Liu Zhiqin immediately asked: "Do you know who that person is?"

Teacher Jiao shook her head, "I can't remember that, but I'm sure that she is a student of our school. Because the people who come here to study are either students or workers, and there are very few workers. I have the impression that that girl is not a worker."

"Girl?" Liu Zhiqin frowned, "A female student?"

"Well, a female student. Why, you thought it was a male student?" The wrinkles on Teacher Jiao's face trembled one after another when he smiled, and he waved his hands and said, "At that time, male students and female students could talk to each other, but they would not come to the library. This kind of place talks about people, the library is for reading, they want to talk, they will go to the lake, go to the woods. Girls are ashamed, if they come to the library alone with male students, they will be ridiculed when they go back.”

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, and then asked: "Are you sure, Liang Hai County has been reading with the same female student?"

After a while, Teacher Jiao nodded, "It should be. Students like to come to the library to read books together. There are a group of male students and a group of female students. When Liang Haijun first came here, I didn't know anyone. I always sat alone, and I also sat with her." We chatted. She said that she is a worker and envied the students to go to school. I said that you have ambitions and know how to read books, which is not bad. She said that it is still not as good as real students. My classmate knew her acquaintance, but she didn't let me tell others, I guess I still felt a little inferior at that time."

Teacher Jiao was getting old, and her throat felt uncomfortable after saying a few words, and she coughed a few times before continuing: "Later, I saw her with that female student, and I don't know who would take the initiative to know whom first. The girls are like sisters, they all wear braids, and they look alike."

Liu Zhiqin was slightly surprised, "Looks alike?"

"It's not facial features." Teacher Jiao sighed, "Look at me, it's hard to talk when I'm old, I mean, both of them are very beautiful, standing together like sisters. But you want me to describe their looks , I can’t describe it.”

Liu Zhiqin has seen photos of Liang Haijun when she was young, and she can indeed be described as beautiful, and there is an aggressive look in her eyebrows and eyes, which makes her beautiful.If she is like a sister to her, then the female student who reads with her must also be a beauty.

At this time, with the help of volunteers, Haizi found some of the cards that Liang Haijun filled out when he borrowed books from the library of Nanfu University of Technology.

"Brother Liu, look."

The card was very yellow, and the edges were already moldy. As soon as I picked it up, I could smell a musty smell without putting it under my nose.

Liu Zhiqin flipped through the cards one by one, and found that Liang Haijun's handwriting was not very good-looking, they were pieced together stroke by stroke, like the words written by elementary school students.The books she borrowed were almost all English books. The first ones she borrowed were beginners' English books, and then she gradually read more deeply and started to borrow simple English novels.In addition, there are a small number of books on economics and management.At least from the cards she found, she never read recreational books.

"It seems that Liang Haijun was a person with very clear goals when he was young." Haizi sniffed and said with some emotion: "I usually work in the factory, and come to the university library on weekends to study English and management, and borrow books when the time comes. Looking back, the real students didn't work as hard as her."

Hearing this, Teacher Jiao echoed, "I thought so too at the time. The students here are excellent, but their status as students makes them not cherish the opportunity to study so much. They are not as sleepless as Liang Hai County. If she also has the opportunity Going to college...well, there's no point in discussing what if."

Liu Zhiqin put the card into the evidence bag, "Mr. Jiao, let's take these back first and send them back after the investigation is over."

Teacher Jiao nodded, "Take it."

"I want to ask one more question." Liu Zhiqin handed the evidence bag to Haizi, "Is there any way to find out the information of the female student who studied with Liang Haijun?"

"This..." Teacher Jiao frowned, "It's not easy, what books did she borrow, the registration card must be stored with us, but without a name, there is no way to look it up, if there is a range of book classification, It might be easier to check."

When Haizi heard this, her scalp went numb. If she rummaged through the cards one by one, how was it different from finding a needle in a haystack?And even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, there is a clear goal, what is the needle you are looking for?

"Suspense novels." Liu Zhiqin said: "The surname is Xu."

Haizi was startled, "Brother Liu, are you sure?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "Not sure. But negligence is a clue, if you don't try it, how will you know?"

"Your scope has narrowed all of a sudden." Teacher Jiao turned and walked towards a shelf, "After all, we are an industrial university. There are not as many novels as liberal arts universities and comprehensive universities, and there are fewer suspenseful ones. Well, that row is full of novels. Book cards in the suspense category, see for yourself if there is a student surnamed Xu."

Every time he flipped through the materials "barehands", Haizi sighed "Technology changes life".Things that can be searched on the computer can be found out, but in the era of paper archives, it takes a lot of time and energy to find them.

Almost staring at the flowers, Haizi threw away a card, rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Liu, is there anyone with the surname Xu?"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, then stood up suddenly, "I'll go directly to the student files."

The student materials more than 30 years ago are the same as the library card, and there is no electronic file, but it is much easier to find a student surnamed Xu on the complete file than on the library card.

Liu Zhiqin flipped through the pages and found eight female students surnamed Xu.He immediately called Xu Xiaozhou to check the status of the eight Xu students one by one.

Xu Xiaozhou was very efficient, and soon sent a reply to Liu Zhiqin.

Four of the eight people have passed away, some were sick, or were involved in a car accident. The other two went abroad after graduation and never came back. The other two have harmonious families and are now retired. According to preliminary understanding, they have nothing to do with the Haijun Group .

None of them seemed to be the female students that Teacher Jiao had seen, let alone the mysterious person who wrote "Xu" on the title page of the book.

Liu Zhiqin leaned on the table, bowed his head in thought, and beside him was the sound of Haizi flipping a card.

They have been consumed for a long time.

"Xu..." Liu Zhiqin suddenly said, "Maybe it's not a surname."

"Huh?" Haizi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot.

"When we saw 'Xu' on the title page, we preconceived that it was a surname, but 'Xu' can also be a given name." Liu Zhiqin turned around, "Just like Xu Xiaozhou's 'Zhou', when most people hear 'Zhou' ’, you will think it is a surname, but it is actually Xu Xiaozhou’s first name.”

"What are you talking about? Then I have too much right to speak." Hai Zi said: "Many people think that I should be called Hai Zi, and I have to have a surname at the beginning, because they always say that Hai is not like a surname, but like a first name. "

Liu Zhiqin said: "We may have found the wrong one. I'll check the student files again. You should pay attention to the students with Xu in their names."

Haizi vaguely remembered that he had found one not long ago, and looked back, and he found it.

And Liu Zhiqin also saw a name in the file: Ning Qiuxu.

"Brother Liu!" Hai Zi hurriedly ran to the archives room, and before she could catch her breath, she said, "I found it! This Ning Qiu Xu, she basically borrows suspense novels!"

Liu Zhiqin looked at the file with a dark edge in his eyes.

Ning Qiuxu, female, a graduate student in the 19XX class of the School of Chemical Engineering.

The photos provided by the school are rather blurry, but it can be seen that Ning Qiuxu is a girl with a very delicate outline and facial features.Liu Zhiqin showed the photo to Teacher Jiao. Teacher Jiao looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "I can't tell you that it's her, but I think it is."

When Liu Zhiqin and Haizi returned to the City Bureau, Hua Chong had already returned from Jinting, and was eating a lunch box bought from a convenience store.

It rained heavily all day in Nanfu City. Even when driving, they brought umbrellas, but both of their clothes were wet from the rain and stuck to their bodies.

"Didn't you eat?" Hua Chong said while pointing to the pocket next to him, "The takeaway can't be delivered in this weather, so I bought some more to bring back. I'll eat it later, and I'll eat it later."

Haizi was already hungry, so she rushed over to untie her pockets, "Chicken chop set meal, potato beef set meal, eel set meal, mapo tofu set meal...fuck, I choose fear!"

"Then you don't choose." Pei Qing took away all the other set meals, passed the beef to Liu Zhiqin, and left only one mapo tofu set meal for Haizi, "We've finished choosing, you can eat the rest."

Haizi stared at him fiercely, "I'm not worthy of eating meat?"

Pei Qing has already opened her eel set meal, "Troublesome people only deserve to eat mapo tofu."

Haizi: "???"

Liu Zhiqin and Hua Chong sat together, and Hua Chong ate a double portion—boiled dragon fish set meal and steamed pork set meal.

When Liu Zhiqin came over, Hua Chong pushed the fish over and motioned to eat it together.

Hua Chong's hair was a little wet, and a large piece of his shoulder was also wet. Liu Zhiqin looked at it, but didn't look away for a moment.

"Eat." Hua Chong gave him a sideways glance, "Why are you staring at me?"

Liu Zhiqin put down his chopsticks, raised his hand to touch the tip of Tan Huachong's hair, "After eating, take a hot bath and change clothes, don't catch a cold."

Hua Chong laughed and said, "You still say me?"

Liu Zhiqin: "Huh?"

"Your hair is more wet than mine." Hua Chong put fish in Liu Zhiqin's bowl, and said to Hai Zi who is closest to the air conditioner: "Turn up the temperature, sweep the wind, and blow it up."

After eating, everyone went to take a bath one after another.The hardware condition of Nanfu Municipal Bureau is good, and there are several shower rooms.Hua Chong put a towel on his shoulders after washing, and when he returned to the office, he saw Liu Zhiqin standing on the balcony, looking at something.

The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still full of thick clouds, as if the rain hadn't penetrated, and it could come again at any time.

Hua Chong walked over and put his hands on the railing.

"When I asked about negligence today, Liang Haijun stopped talking." Hua Chong said, "No matter how I asked, she just shook her head."

Liu Zhiqin asked, "Did you bring him back?"

"No, there is a lack of evidence." Hua Chong said, "But the more she avoided negligence, the more suspicious she became. I checked the whereabouts of Lianghai County on the day Liang Yijun died, and she actually didn't have a clear alibi."

The night wind howled, and Liu Zhiqin's voice was caught in the wind, "She may also kill Liang Yijun, but the motive is not yet clear."

"Liang Yijun's neck was broken." Hua Chong frowned, "This is not something ordinary people can do."

Lianghai County has a group of bodyguards who have worked as mercenaries abroad. Any one of these people can easily break the neck of an adult man.Therefore, the special operations team had investigated them one by one before, but there are complete monitoring records showing that at the time of the incident, they were either staying in Nanfu City, or they were meeting with the group executives in other places, and no one was in the mountains. county.

Among those closely related to Liang Yijun, only Liang Haijun and Ge Wanqun lacked an alibi.But on the one hand, they are close relatives of Liang Yijun, and on the other hand, they are women. Whether it is the Nanfu police or the special operations team, it is difficult to suspect them.

But the case has been investigated to the present point, and with the emergence of doubts one by one, Liang Haijun has gradually changed from the victim's mother to the suspect that the police must focus on.

"Ning Qiuxu is just a symbol now. What I know now is that she is not from Nanfu, and her native place is in Chiming City." Liu Zhiqin said: "I am in a hurry today, and I will continue to investigate tomorrow."

"This person is probably negligent." Hua Chong looked at the decorative lights across the street, "Students who graduated from Nanfu University of Technology, their personal information is relatively easy to check. You ask Xu Xiaozhou to check the eight female students surnamed Xu during the day. Didn't I find out soon? With Ning Qiuxu's education, she will definitely be able to find a good job after graduation, but the school has not kept her employment record. She may not have a job at all, so where will she go after graduation? went?"

With so many clues, both of them thought of a possibility—she became a surrogate in Lianghai County and lived in that mountain villa.

But Hua Chong feels like there is a huge gap across the gap, and the truth is faintly visible on the other side of the gap.The special operations team has not yet been able to cross this gap, and can only watch what happened on the other side from afar.

The next day, the investigation continued.

The teachers who taught Ning Qiuxu back then are no longer alive, but Liu Zhiqin learned from some of his classmates that Ning Qiuxu Xu's family was very wealthy, and he could be regarded as the daughter of a rich family at that time.

"But she doesn't tell us much about family affairs." Chen Jinglian and Ning Qiuxu used to be roommates and once taught in a key high school. When it comes to Ning Qiuxu, she has a lot of regret on her face, "We don't know why , a good person who suddenly disappeared after graduation and lost contact with all our classmates."

"In the beginning, we thought she was going home. I forgot what city her home is in." Chen Jinglian continued: "Her family is rich, so she may have arranged a job for her. But after the 20th and [-]th anniversary of graduation, we They couldn't even find her. Some people in the class said that something happened to her, otherwise, with her character, it is impossible not to come back to attend the class reunion."

Chen Jinglian waved her hand, "Qiu Xu sleeps on my upper bunk. She has a good personality and a lot of knowledge. She doesn't argue with us about anything. When I think about it now, I still think she is the best person I have ever met."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "Has she ever mentioned to you the people she met in the library?"

Chen Jinglian froze for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't seem to have heard her say that."

Liu Zhiqin asked again: "Then do you still remember, when you were about to graduate, was there something wrong with Ning Qiuxu?"

Chen Jinglian thought for a long time, then sighed: "That's right, we didn't stay in school very much at that time, and we each had our own work to do. I really had a good relationship with Ning Qiuxu, but in the last school year, I didn't treat her enough. care."

Seeing Chen Jinglian showing guilt, Liu Zhiqin said a few words of comfort.

Yue Yue rushed directly from Hongcun to Chiming City, and found out about Ning Qiuxu's family situation.

Ning Qiuxu's family background is indeed superior. His parents were in business and were well-known local entrepreneurs very early on.However, different from what Chen Jinglian and others learned, when Ning Qiuxu was studying, his parents died in a car accident. Ning Qiuxu inherited a rich inheritance, but did not accept the business of the Ning family. The family property fell into the hands of others.

Looking at it from the current point of view, Ning Qiuxu is an orphan from a wealthy family.

The Ning family was not prosperous, and Ning Qiuxu had no brothers or sisters. After finishing the funeral for her parents and receiving her own inheritance, she left Chiming City, and there was no record of returning to her hometown after that.

"Ning Qiuxu's inheritance was close to 200 million, which was not a small amount at the time." Hua Chongdao: "But as early as she was 25 years old, that is, 30 years ago, the money had already been withdrawn. I compared It was 30 years ago that Lianghai County took over the leather goods factory and the Haijun Group made its fortune."

"When Ning Qiuxu was 26 years old, she had a record of going abroad in country S." Hua Chong continued: "She stayed in country S for nearly five months before returning to China. During the same period of time, Lianghai County also went to country S, but Lianghai County has a total of I only went there for a week, and it was the first time for Liang Haijun to go abroad. Not long after returning home, Liang Haijun became pregnant."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Maybe Lianghai County used Ning Qiuxu's money to get the leather factory out of trouble. Surrogacy is still very popular in country S. They went to country S one after another, maybe to do surrogacy surgery."

A hazy silhouette appeared in Hua Chong's mind. So far, all the clues found can support his and Liu Zhiqin's deduction. Liang Haijun is a shrewd businessman, and she knows how to use anyone who can be used by her.But if the deduction is correct, then what is Ning Qiuxu's motive?Could it be that she was brainwashed by Liang Hai County?

Lianghai County was once again brought to the Municipal Bureau.

Hua Chong put Ning Qiuxu's photo on the table. The photo was old, but the girl in her twenties smiled like a flower and was youthful.

Liang Haijun glanced at the photo, his shoulders shrank severely.

"Thirty years ago, after you took over the leather factory, you received a sum of emergency funds." Hua Chong looked into Liang Haijun's dark eyes, "Ning Qiuxu was the one who provided you with the funds, and it was Ning Qiuxu who was negligent, right? "
