Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

At this point in the morning, there are almost no cars on the road.

Shao Lin thought, no matter who it is, he still has to restrain himself at the gate of the sub-bureau.At first, he didn't pay much attention, took out the taxi app, and started walking to a convenient parking place.

The figure also moved.

The alarm bell in Shao Lin's heart rang: Is that person following me?

He pinched off his cell phone, turned left intentionally, and walked along the alley into the residential area behind.He spared a circle and returned to the gate of the sub-bureau again.Coincidentally, the gate guard railing of the parking lot slowly lifted, and a black GL8 slid out slowly, and it was Xia Yi.

Officer Xia rolled down the car window, amused: "Hey, Mr. Shao, why are you still standing at the door? I told you earlier, it's not easy to get a taxi at this time. To tell you the truth, I was a hitchhiking driver before. people, or you can make do—"

Shao Lin was not in the mood to listen to what he was talking about.He looked sideways at the convex mirror at the intersection, and someone poked his head quickly from the alley he had just passed, and then shrank back.

Sure enough, that person was following him!

Without waiting for Xia Yi to finish speaking, Shao Lin opened the passenger door and got in.

"I'm sorry, the phone is out of battery and I can't take a taxi. I'm still bothering Officer Xia." Shao Lin said so, but his eyes were locked in the rearview mirror of the car.I saw the man standing at the alley, watching GL8 leave.

"Don't bother, don't bother, it should be."

At the next intersection, Xia Yi, who was supposed to go left, suddenly turned right and drove around the block again.The streets in the early morning were empty, and this long road made a particularly abrupt detour.

Shao Lin's heart skipped a beat: Oops, he found out.

GL8 passed the gate of the sub-bureau again, Xia Yi scanned the rearview mirror and frowned slightly: "No one followed. Who were you hiding from just now?"

Shao Lin blinked pretending to be confused: "What did you say?"

"Play, continue to play." Xia Yi didn't even bother to look at him, and turned left directly to the elevated highway around the city, "You said your phone was out of battery, but you handed in your phone before entering the interrogation room, and it was still 70% charged Electricity. No one has touched it, it has been in standby mode. In terms of style, this is a new machine from last year. Even if it is Apple, it will not run out of power."

"Besides, you are the kind of person who keeps a distance from everyone. You should sit in the back seat instead of the co-pilot seat when you get in the car. When you get in the car, you look at the rearview mirror crazily. Think I'm blind?"

Hearing people make the logic clear, Shao Lin smiled helplessly.He always thought that this guy's IQ was not very good, but he was also sensitive and meticulous sometimes.It was himself who was nervous for a while, and the old fox capsized in the gutter.

"Oh, have nothing to say? Guilty again?"

"Are you going to force me to tell the truth?" Shao Lin licked his lips, gritted his teeth in his heart, and looked shy, "Yes, it's an excuse that the phone is out of battery. I refused you earlier because I was still angry. I regretted it as soon as I went out. I want to get into your car, but I'm sorry, why don't you allow me to find a step for myself?"

The more Shao Lin said, the more embarrassed he became, the aggrieved little eyes made people feel that he should blush in the next second.

Xia Yi: "..."

The carriage fell into an awkward silence.

After a while, Xia Yi cleared his throat and turned on the stereo: "Listen to nursery rhymes for a while, listen to nursery rhymes for a while."

Immediately, the sound of the sheng music and the flute in the car flew together, and the wooden fish and the chime beat rhythmically: "Nan~wu~~ah~mi~~tuo~~~~fo~nan~wu~~a~mi~tuo ~~~Buddha~"

It just so happened that the front spring ornament was a little husky, and it was tilting its head and sticking out its tongue at the moment, swaying to the rhythm of the wooden fish.

Shao Lin choked out a sentence: "...Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"Hey, how can it be? As a glorious people's policeman, we are materialistic, believe in science, and put an end to feudal superstition. I just think this song is very nice, art appreciation art appreciation. Don't you like it? You don't like it I'll change it for you."

Shao Lin thought that his own community was not far away, so he said against his will: "...No need, it really sounds good."

Xia Yi was overjoyed immediately: "Best friend, brother!!!"

Shao Lin: "..."

After a while, GL8 slowly stopped at the gate of Shao Lin's community.

"Hard."

Shao Lin unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to push the car door, but was stopped by Xia Yi: "Mr. Shao, I have a question about fluoxetine. I would like to ask for your professional advice."

Shao Lin nodded: "Say it."

"If the concentration of fluoxetine in a person's blood is between the therapeutic concentration and the lethal concentration, is it more likely that he will die from the drug?"

Surprise flashed across Shao Lin's eyes, but he still answered the other party's question first: "Compared with tricyclic antidepressants, the rate of cardiac side effects of fluoxetine is actually not high. The probability is about [-] in [-]. It is limited to my personal knowledge that in the fatal cases of fluoxetine, the concentration of the drug exceeds the standard.”

Shao Lin thought to himself: It turns out that the fluoxetine found in the delivery boy's blood is not lethal?Then he was summoned to go to the bureau and fiddled all night, what was the reason for?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "It's not a lethal concentration? Then why are you checking me?!"

Xia Yi scratched the back of his head vigorously, with a troubled look on his face.

Indeed, the Fajian Center probably has the same meaning.Since it is a therapeutic concentration, it cannot be proved that Luo Wei died from taking fluoxetine.Unless there is a clear poisoning suspect and the motive evidence is complete, otherwise, this matter will hardly be considered for filing.

Could it be that it's all over?

Xia Yi suddenly felt that the car was very stuffy, so he rolled down the window to let the cool wind blow in.He leaned in the driver's seat and said that the courier brother Luo Wei and his wife Wang Xiufen were a young couple who came to the big cities from the [-]th-tier countryside to work hard.

The two were childhood sweethearts in the village, and then they came out to work together, one was doing housekeeping, the other was doing food delivery, and the income was still considered acceptable.Standing in the same boat through thick and thin, and working hard for several years, I finally got the down payment and got my own house in this big city.Just three months ago, Wang Xiufen was pregnant with a child, and she was about to become a family of three...

The reality is always unexpected.

Xia Yi still remembers clearly how Wang Xiufen pulled Luo Wei's sleeve and cried in a low voice before Luo Wei's body was submitted for examination—

She said that her husband has been taking out food for a long time, never drinks, and it is impossible to drink and drive.

She said that her husband, who is about to become a father, is even less likely to commit suicide by throwing himself into a lake.

She also said that her husband is usually in good health and has never been to the hospital, so how could he overturn the car and enter the lake in good condition.

"Isn't the work of the criminal police... just to restore the truth?" Xia Yi didn't know if he was talking to himself, or he was talking to Shao Lin, "The only clue that there is a problem now is the fluoxetine that Luo Wei ingested from nowhere. Moreover, although the probability is extremely low, the side effects of fluoxetine are indeed consistent with the cause of his death! If I don’t try my best to investigate, who will answer why his wife has so many? Do she have to bring a A child who can't see his father, and spends his whole life talking about an ambiguous 'sudden cardiac death without obvious pathology'?"

"If there is a murderer, I will definitely find him!"

On the other side of the empty road, a car whizzed by, and the white headlights passed through the windshield, flashing Xia Yi's face for a moment.Shao Lin looked at his tired expression and determined eyes, and all the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.

A voice warned coldly in his heart: Don't meddle in other people's business.Stay away from the police.You've had enough of your own troubles.

However, Shao Lin looked at the young criminal policeman in front of him, as if he was looking at a freshly sharpened knife, which had not yet been stained with blood that could not be wiped clean, nor had it rusted by the environment.When it splits the ghosts and monsters, it is still so sharp, so firm, and so dazzling.

Shao Lin finally let go of the hand holding the car door, and sighed inaudibly: "If fluoxetine is not the cause of death, have you not considered other poisons?"

"Run more than 200 common ones, all clean."

The Fajian Center has newly purchased a set of triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometers, which can detect more than 200 common poisons, drugs, psychotropic drugs, alkaloids, and pesticides at once, greatly improving work efficiency.

However, there are more than 200 kinds of chemical substances that can kill people in this world?

In theory, in a perfect world, the poisons would always be found if they were checked one by one.But in reality, in addition to screening for common poisons, forensic doctors do not have the time and resources to run samples one by one, unless they get a clear direction from the criminal investigation.

Xia Yi frowned: "My thinking is that this fluoxetine is really weird. Start with it first, and maybe you will find other clues related to death."

Shao Lin thought for a while and analyzed: "There are two possibilities for controlled drugs to appear in the body. The first one is that Luo Wei took it on his own without knowing it. For example, some illegal health care products and illegal recreational drugs. A drug that may be supposed to sleep, relax, and make you feel happy is actually illicitly adulterated with fluoxetine."

"The second possibility is passive poisoning. In this case, the range of suspects is not very large. They must be people who have been in contact with Luo Wei's diet for a long time and have the motive to kill." Shao Lin said, "And, you Saying that fluoxetine is not a lethal concentration, this person is still very cautious. If you want to kill someone close to you, men tend to use more violent and impulsive methods. Therefore, if there is such a chronic poisoner, it is probably an introverted, A timid and careful woman."

"The first type is easy to check. But the second type, according to your description, there is no choice at all, just Luo Wei's wife?" Xia Yi paused, "But it can't be her, figure it out, Luo Wei Workers Wei said that the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, and they often make love bento for him at noon, and a group of single dogs are very envious of each other."

"Have you checked the insurance? The beneficiary or something?"

"After checking, Luo Wei only has a work-related injury insurance and a traffic accident insurance, which were provided by the company when he joined the company, and all full-time employees have it. Besides, this matter is not a traffic accident," Xia Yi sighed, "even if Even if it is a work-related injury, you can’t afford a few dollars in compensation, let alone tens of thousands of dollars. My wife has no motive for committing the crime.”

Shao Lin was silent for a moment. He took out a business card from his wallet and passed it between his index and middle fingers: "The information is ready to be passed on to me."

Taking advantage of the dim light above his head, Xia Yi squinted his eyes, and a few phrases fell into his eyes: Department of Psychology, Yan'an University, Yan'an Criminal Police College, Criminal Psychology, Visiting Professor.

"Hey, you really have a lot of titles." Someone Xia made an illiterate voice.

"Your Bureau Zheng has approached me," Shao Lin said lightly, "The normal consultation fee is only 1500 yuan an hour."

Xia Yi heard the words, and stared at Shao Lin as if he had seen a ghost: "Bureau Zheng? That Zheng Jiansen from the Municipal Bureau? I want to consult you about the case? And what kind of capitalist fee is this, isn't it appropriate, Mr. Shao?!"

"This case is free for you, thank you."

Shao Lin opened the car door and stepped out, leaving Xia Yi holding his business card, dumbfounded, tongue-tied: "Thank you, what are you thanking? No, shouldn't it be me thanking you?"

The night wind blew the corner of his clothes, and Shao Lin's lips were stained with a faint smile.

Thank you for not asking me why so much.

He tapped the car window lightly: "Good night, Officer Xia."

Xia Yi watched his back disappear into the night in the neighborhood, and finally remembered belatedly, what was the "familiarity" that stung him from time to time.

That sharp hand, and that thin silhouette...

At that time, when he was in the interrogation room, Shao Lin motioned for people to "pause", which was also the gesture.

Xia Yi remembered!

That was his first international rescue mission with SWAT Commando Alpha.

At that time, their team was participating in international competitions on behalf of the country. On the way back, they were temporarily ordered to go to African country Z to rescue the kidnapped Huaguo Mining boss and employees.

The locals in Country Z rioted, and Hua Country was not the only one that was implicated in the mining industry.When the commando airborne reinforcements, the staff of the International Hostage Rescue Team HRT on the scene had already started negotiations.

Commandos quickly took control of the perimeter of the scene.Three snipers occupied the surrounding high points and aimed at the target building from different directions.But the kidnapper was very shrewd, and never showed himself in the window. HRT decided to send negotiators into the house and induce the kidnappers to expose themselves in front of the window. The sniper team killed them, and at the same time, the assault team entered to rescue the hostages.

However, the two sides faced off for several hours before news came that the negotiators had successfully entered.

The electric voice on the walkie-talkie said "Zizi lala": "No. [-] has no vision, it's over."

"No. 40 vision [-]%, over."

For the first time in his life, the task of real guns and live ammunition fell on Xia Yi's sniper position.Xia Yi's heart beat faster.He calculated the height difference in his mind, and raised the crosshair a little higher: "No. 100's vision is [-]%, over."

The command center issued an order: "Shoot directly when the field of vision allows."

"receive."

The scorching wind blew over the sand and stones all over the floor, sweat slipped over the bridge of the nose and flowed into the collar, Xia Yi put his index finger on the trigger.

In the scope, a black man is stepping backwards, exposing the entire back of his head to the window step by step.But at this moment, he saw the negotiators talking and gesturing out the window——

There are specifications in the combat instructions: the index finger thumb is turned outward than the "gun" wrist is a "kill" signal, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are stretched out to be a "give me a little more time" signal, and the five fingers are spread out is a "give up". plan".

Xia Yi stared at the sharp hand and the blurred profile of the man in the scope.He was repeatedly sending a message through the window—abandon the plan, give up the plan, give up the plan.

"Number three, shoot."

There was no gunfire, only the chirping of birds across the scorching sun.

The communication channel rang again: "No. [-], what's the matter?"

"Negotiators signal emergency pause."

The two teams that have never been in harmony have differences in rescue concepts. At this moment, the command center exploded: "There is only one kidnapper guarding this point, and it's over if you kill them. Pause what?"

"Why the suspension? Why was there no news beforehand?"

"I also agreed to the kidnapper's request to cut off the communication and go in. Isn't this a death penalty? What are you doing?!"

Xia Yi's index finger trembled slightly, and the beating of his heart beat violently on the eardrum.Everything seems to be under control, why pause?However, at that moment, he still chose to trust the negotiator standing on the spot.

Although they never cooperated, never met, never even communicated—

He looked at the hand in the scope and chose to trust the negotiator who put his life on the line and entered the kidnapper's room alone.

Later, Xia Yi found out that the reason why the kidnapper chose to be exposed to that window was because of the sensor installed on the window.If the window was smashed at that time, the explosives on the hostages would explode directly, causing a large number of casualties.

If the negotiator hadn't discovered the sensor on the window in time and stopped the action immediately, the consequences would have been disastrous.

After 32 hours of confrontation, they finally rescued the hostages, and then the two teams went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.Xia Yi only saw the silhouette of the negotiator from a distance in the sniper mirror, but never had the chance to thank him in person.

Another large truck whizzed past the next lane, as if those years of being born and dying with the commandos were fleeting in the sound of "rumbling", as if it had become a thing of the previous life.Now, trapped in this grassroots post, he spends most of his time searching for a needle in a haystack, and even catching a small thief has become an exciting and happy sport.

Xia Yi slowly came back to his senses, a trace of inexplicable expectation rose in his heart.

is it him?

But how is that possible?

Country Z is so far away, yet HRT is still an international team.

Xia Yi thought for a while, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. From the communication list, he clicked on a name he hadn't contacted for a long time, and sent an encrypted text message: Hey, Lao Guan, check someone for me.

The author has something to say:

Shao Lin: When I act, I am afraid myself.

Xia Yi: He wants to get in my car? ? ?

Ps The hostagerescueteamHRT refers to the FBI. In fact, there is no so-called international organization in the article.
