The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The weather forecast shows that the next week will be full of windy weather and the docks will be closed.

Hua Chong came to Minqian County, but couldn't go to Fanglong Island, so it was difficult to start the investigation for a while.Regarding the disappearance of Yi Long 10 years ago, Fenglan City has set up a task force, but Han Fen repeated his statements in subsequent interrogations, claiming that it was Han Jiong who killed Yi Long and helping to dispose of the body, and then saying that he was the In the long-term depression, he had mental problems, and fantasized about the ending of her husband being killed by herself and Han Jiong.

As for being sold to Fanglong Island by the shipping boss as a commodity, Han Fen never changed her mind, admitting that she was raped by Yi Long during the fifth delivery, and thus became pregnant with Yi Ming.

"I hated him and Fan Yong (boss) at the time. Sometimes I thought, I should kill them. He was sleeping next to me. I took the kitchen knife several times, but I couldn't do it..." When Han Fen said this, she seemed very calm, unlike when she confessed to Liu Zhiqin in the lounge, she was so choked up, as if she suddenly saw everything away, her eyes were almost lightless, decayed and dim, "If he really If he is dead, what should the child do? What should I do? What he threatened me was right. I dressed like that and went to the island. Didn’t I deserve it? What do other people think of me? Children, I have a brother and a sister..."

Han Fen took a deep breath, raised her head halfway to look at the ceiling, as if she was about to cry, but no tears came down.But she still raised her hand, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a dry smile: "I accepted it later. I lived like those women who were sold off on the island, and maybe I still fell in love with Yilong. He Apart from his love of drinking, there is nothing wrong with this guy. He likes to paint and has an artistic talent. I said he would come back to the county to do business, and he agreed. He can cook. We made a lot of money, and we are almost in the county. The richest group in the..."

Han Fen furrowed her brows tightly, and scratched her face with both hands, as if she wanted to tear off a piece of skin, "My brother didn't harm him, he is our family. What I said last time was my imagination, you guys... ...don't believe it."

Different from Han Fen's repetition, Han Jiong denied killing Yi Long and Yi Ming from beginning to end, and showed the record of taking Han Fen to see a psychiatrist this year, saying that after Yi Long disappeared, Han Fen was very depressed and easily nervous. Later, Yi Ming suspected that Yi Long's disappearance was related to his family, so he unilaterally severed the family contact, which was a heavy blow to Han Fen.For so many years, Han Fen has lost both her husband and her daughter. The home is no longer a home, and the mental burden is heavy, which leads to delusions and other symptoms.

The task force rushed to Minqian County, but Meng Qiyou did not. The disappearance case is important, but it happened 10 years ago. The current focus of the Fenglan City Bureau is still the case of two half-dead female corpses. As the detachment leader, he I'm exhausted.

Liu Zhiqin also stayed at the Municipal Bureau, and he was present when Han Fen and Han Jiong were interrogated.Meng Qiyou came to him in a hurry and asked the special operations team how to deal with such a case.

Liu Zhiqin was straightforward, "Special operations teams generally don't encounter such cases."

The cup of tea in Meng Qiyou's hand has been brewed several times, the color is pale, and the tea flavor is almost gone, and he is still drinking it vigorously, "Oh, yes, the reports to you are all major murders, and the disappearances cannot be reported. And before it is confirmed that it is a homicide, the investigation is not easy to carry out."

"Now there is only a plausible confession, without any physical evidence." Liu Zhiqin said: "Han Fen can retract the confession at any time. Her testimony cannot be counted."

"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about right now." Meng Qiyou swallowed the tea without spitting it up, "Han Jiong bit him so badly, there are only two possibilities, or the person really didn't kill him. Under his insanity, he felt that he killed Yilong, or that he killed him, but he was very confident, and we couldn't find anyone to prove it."

Liu Zhiqin stared out of the window for a moment, then suddenly said, "Captain Meng, just now you asked me what the special operations team should do when they encounter such a case."

Meng Qiyou looked up, "Ah, haven't you guys met before?"

"The special operations team can't take this kind of case, but there are ways." Liu Zhiqin turned around, put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and the side of his face was covered with a shadow of gray sky, "But the premise is that there are still people behind him." committed a crime."

Meng Qiyou immediately responded, "Yi Ming?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "Well, if Yi Ming also committed suicide, or if he participated in Yi Ming's case, then obtaining evidence will be easier than simply looking for clues from 10 years ago."

Meng Qiyou lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said, "But didn't he have an alibi?"

For the time being, Liu Zhiqin only told Hua Chong that he had doubts about Han Jiong's alibi. Afterwards, he checked the surveillance again and found no trace of modification. He also couldn't bring up a problem with Han Jiong's alibi because of his subjective uneasiness.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Then let's investigate separately."

In Minqian County, Hua Chong couldn't get to the island for a long time. In addition to making suggestions to the Yilong Disappearance Case Team, he also went through the Chen Shu and Zhang Xun'er disappearance cases from beginning to end.

These two girls are about the same age, and both have superior appearance. Although they don't study in the same university, Silk City University and Silk City Industrial and Commercial College are both ranked high in the province. They are about the same in terms of knowledge.But their personalities and family backgrounds are quite different.

Chen Shu has excellent grades and receives scholarships every year, but her presence in school is very low and she has no friends.Her roommates and classmates all said that she has been a loner since she entered the freshman year, even applied for it, and did not even participate in military training. She is usually in the library or in the self-study room, and only goes back to the dormitory at night when she sleeps. .

In a campus where collective life is emphasized, this kind of student will generally cause some criticism, but people around Chen Shu think that she is very good, the reason is that although she does not fit in with the group, she is not the weird and gloomy personality, so ask her for help , If you have any academic questions, ask her for advice, and she will explain it very seriously.

In Silk City Business College, she is called "Goddess".

And Zhang Xun'er is also a "goddess".Her grades are at the bottom, but she is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a lively personality. She can play with both male and female students, and her popularity has always been very good.And precisely because of poor grades, some students who didn't like her thought she was uncompetitive and called her "beautiful trash". After a long time, they had a good relationship with her.

But Zhang Xun'er seems to be clingy, but she will go out to play alone once every semester, thinking that this short-distance solo trip is a way to "find myself".

The biggest difference between Chen Shu and Zhang Xun'er comes from family.

Zhang Xun'er is a native of Silk City. Her family runs a business and counts as a middle income in Silk City. Her parents plan to let her go abroad to study in graduate school. In the future, she will not have to worry about work and just do what she likes.Chen Shu's family lives in a small city in the province. Her father died early and her mother remarried. She gave birth to a younger brother when she was in elementary school.

The economic conditions of the new family are actually not bad, but perhaps for the young Chen Shu, she is a redundant member of the family, so after entering junior high school, she no longer lives at home.But the family relationship was not cut off because of her deliberate alienation, and her mother would give her a lump sum of living expenses every six months.However, she does not seem to have used the living expenses.

It was Zhang Xun'er's parents who called the police. Zhang Xun'er had reported to them before departure, and would send photos every now and then to report the itinerary during the trip.However, when Zhang's mother asked how she was doing on WeChat on September 9, Zhang Xun'er, who always liked to chat with her mother, never replied.

Judging from the clues that the Minqian County police have now, the only thing that is clear is that Chen Shu and Zhang Xun'er did not leave Fanglong Island. They are still on the island, but the possibility of being alive is very slim.

Due to the lack of surveillance on the island, it is difficult to obtain evidence from the video. In theory, everyone on the island may commit crimes. There have been many travel-related homicides in recent years.But Hua Chong had to think about a problem—the identities of Chen Shu and Zhang Xun'er were too special, and when they were connected to Fang Long Island, their disappearance (or murder) could be related to two main aspects. The cruel half-god habit, and the second is that men on the island rape young women and marry them as wives.

Director Lu said that there is no custom of cutting beautiful virgins in half on Fanglong Island. I don't know who spread it.

Hua Chong had been in contact with the local elders and officials in the past two days, and learned that Director Lu was right. The half god is just a legend and does not really exist. The government did not go to the island to abolish this non-existent bad habit decades ago.

As for marrying a wife by force, this is a fact.

Hua Chong suspected that there was a man on the island who was interested in sex, but Director Lu said that they had gone door-to-door and checked, but no suspicious person was found.

Hua Chong didn't question it directly, but he didn't fully accept it either.After a while of contact, he has figured out the level of the police force in Minqian County. It is no problem to solve some residents' disputes, and it is not a problem to investigate criminal cases with clear clues. The disappearance case is difficult enough to deal with.

At present, he cannot go to the island, so he can only make a preliminary judgment based on the existing investigation data. The disappearance of Chen Shu and Zhang Xun'er is most likely related to the sex of the men on the island.

On this day, Zhang Xun'er's father, Zhang Meng, came to Minqian County again.He is a successful businessman, his family is harmonious, and his wife and daughter are the foundation of his continuous struggle.However, after Zhang Xun'er disappeared, he almost never went to the company again. He stayed in Minqian County with his wife for a long time until the end of last month when his wife fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. He accompanied his wife back to Silk City for treatment. rushed over.

Seeing the task force, Zhang Meng mistakenly thought that the other party was here to investigate his daughter's disappearance. The gray-haired man wept on the spot and shouted tremblingly: "I beg you to find my daughter. If she is killed, please Bring the murderer to justice and give us justice!"

Before the task force came, they didn't know that there was another disappearance case. They were a little surprised to see Zhang Meng's reaction.Hua Chong briefly explained the situation to them, and Xu Dui, the leader of the team, was a little embarrassed, "Hua Dui, look at...Meng Meng asked us to come over to investigate Yilong's case. There are only so many people, I really can't take care of it. .”

When he said this, Xu Duihan was down. In his eyes, Hua Chong was the leader above. He was higher than Meng Qiyou and the bureau chiefs. His butt decided his thinking. Hua Chong couldn't understand their difficulties at all.

But in fact, Hua Chong can best understand the difficulties at the grassroots level.

"I'm just telling you about the situation. You are here to investigate the case. You have to know the case of Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu." Hua Chong said: "What to do or what to do, I will keep an eye on the case, and you don't need it for the time being." Team members come here."

Team Xu looked at Hua Chong in surprise.Hua Chong smiled, "Go get busy, I've been here all this time, if you have any difficulties, tell me, if you have any ideas, or if you're not sure, you can also discuss it with me."

After arranging the task force, Hua Chong invited Zhang Meng to the temporary office arranged for him by Director Lu.Minqian County is small, but the new urban area was built a few years ago, and the Public Security Bureau moved to a new building, so there are plenty of vacant rooms.

After all, Zhang Meng is a businessman. He has seen all kinds of people in the society. Hearing Hua Chong's way of speaking, he knows that the other party has a lot of background.Zhang Meng looked at Hua Chong with tears in his eyes as if grasping at the straw, "Please help us, my daughter has been missing for so long, and my wife is already sick. The police said she died after she went to the island. I left, and there was another girl with her, and I know there is little hope of her being alive. But I have to find her anyway, and get her justice."

Hua Chong is very experienced in comforting the families of the victims, but this experience is embarrassing - if he hadn't investigated too many murder cases and dealt with too many desperate family members, who would have rich experience in this kind of thing?

Hua Chong gave Zhang Meng a glass of water and said a lot of comforting words.Zhang Meng gradually calmed down, but his eyes were still red.

It is cruel to ask questions to the family members of the victim, and before this, Zhang Meng must have received a lot of inquiries.But Hua Chong still had to ask him questions.

To take over this case, he had to get Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu's parents what they thought as much as possible.

"Xun'er is very popular. When she was very young, my wife deliberately taught her how to behave in the world. As far as we know, she has never offended her classmates and friends. Every time she goes out alone, she can make new friends. Friends, you can see from her WeChat that she always considers other people's feelings when she chats with anyone." Zhang Meng said: "So I don't think she should be punished because she offended someone..."

Hua Chong has already read some of the chat records, and he has also met girls with Zhang Xun'er's personality. Zhang Meng's description is not too much, and there are indeed girls who are comfortable with others.

"Offending this is really not very valid." Hua Chong said: "Because there is another girl who is also missing. They only met in the hotel, and they have no other contact."

Zhang Meng nodded, "I went to the island with the police, and my wife was there too. She lost control of her emotions and said that the man on the island must have killed Xun'er. I know this kind of thing can't be said casually, but I believe my wife , Mother's intuition is sometimes very accurate. Besides, Xun'er and the girl named Chen Shu are both missing, they are both tourists, and they are both so beautiful, it wasn't those people on the island who did it, who else could it be?"

"But the police told us after the investigation that there is no evidence to prove that Xun'er's disappearance is related to the people on the island. Let us calm down." Zhang Meng covered his eyes with one hand, his voice gradually trembling, "How can we do this kind of thing?" Can you calm down?"

Hua Chong can understand Zhang Meng. He just read the investigation records and thinks that the islanders have a high possibility of committing crimes. As a father, Zhang Meng naturally has more emotions.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Meng said again: "We are also very suspicious of those male students."

Hua Chong said, "Guo Zhen and the three of them?"

Zhang Meng nodded, "The police said they have no problem, and they are all students. Let us not say anything without evidence. But they are my daughter's acquaintances on the island. When Jiang Haoxuan and Sheng Lin left, they went to the group Sending a message, neither Xun'er nor Chen Shu replied, from the perspective of a normal person, you would also think, why are these two girls silent, could something be wrong? But they didn't respond at all."

Hua Chong noticed this when he read the chat records for the first time. The taciturn Chen Shu didn’t say anything. Anyone would find it strange that a girl like Zhang Xun’er didn’t reply to messages. Take care.

But no one cares.

Not only that, Guo Zhen also called them in the group later, but there was still no reply.Sheng Lin's sentence "No need to contact after returning to school" seemed a bit deliberate.

"I don't want to use dirty thoughts to figure out a few promising college students, but I have to think about that." Zhang Meng frowned, his face full of pain, "Five people set off together, and only three came back. It just happened that the two girls disappeared, I really dare not imagine what they did to my daughter and Chen Shu."

Silk City is in the northwest of Fenglan City. Zhang Meng's wife Fengyu couldn't accept that her daughter might be killed, so she fell ill and received treatment in the Second City Hospital.Before Zhang Meng left, he told her to stay in the hospital well.But not long after Zhang Meng went out, she came out of the second hospital with doctors and nurses on her back.She is going to Silk City University to find the three boys her daughter met during the trip.

The police told her again and again that they did not find the possibility or motive of committing the crime.But she doesn't believe it.Xun'er went out for a trip in a good manner, and after going to the island, she sent back a group photo of five people. Two girls stood in the front, both young and beautiful. Why did they lose them within a few days?

She wanted to ask the three of them face to face, where did Xun'er go, and what did you do to Xun'er.But her husband always stopped her, saying that no matter what, she should trust the police.

She trusted the police, but she was a mother and she had to do something.
