heart poison

When Qu Zhi came back, he was still scolding Sanghai. After eating the five leftover oysters and downing a large bottle of iced black tea, he still didn't calm down. He belatedly asked, "Who is so generous to treat you to supper? Where's Lao Hua?"

"I went to discuss the case with Brother Liu." Zhang Mao cleared the table with a pig's trotter in his mouth, and the pig's trotter fell to the ground with his mouth.

"Damn!" He cursed, picked it up and put it in the box, planning to eat it after packing it up.

"Brother Liu? Which Brother Liu?" Qu Zhi was puzzled, "Outsider? Consultant? Isn't that right? Just now that bastard Song Hai called us a mole, Lao Hua just talked about the case with outsiders? Aren't you afraid of information leakage?"

"What outsider? That's our new colleague." Zhang Mao was the youngest criminal police officer in the serious crime team. He was transferred not long ago. He has a round head and calls everyone he sees.

"Why didn't I know there was a new colleague?" Qu Zhi asked, "Which sub-bureau transferred them?"

Zhang Mao pointed to the sky.

Qu Zhi: "Did it fall from the sky? Tsk, why didn't you say it jumped out of the rock?"

"Ministry of Public Security!" Zhang Mao said, "The Ministry of Public Security transferred them!"

Qu Zhi was startled, "Ministry of Public Security? Are you crazy? The Ministry of Public Security transferred to our city bureau?"

"Brother Liu is amazing." Zhang Mao ate someone's supper, and naturally had a few good words, "I had a great chat with our flower team when I first came here. He also said that their names together are' The willows are dark and the flowers are bright'. This case may be solved in no time!"

At this time, the combination of dark willows and bright flowers is occupying Chen Zheng's office, sorting out the case from beginning to end.

"Sang Hai had the time and motive to commit the crime. He was captured by surveillance and the knife was found. If he is the murderer, it makes sense." Liu Zhiqin sat on the sofa with his coat folded aside, a pen in one hand, and One hand rested on his knee, "But after reading his interrogation transcript, I think the murderer was someone else."

Hua Chong didn't agree immediately, leaning on the soft cushion of the sofa, "Oh? Why?"

"In this case, the murderer can be said to have done everything right. He left Xu Yujiao's ID card. There are two possibilities. One is that he is not afraid that we will investigate from Xu Yujiao, and the other is that he is provoking the police. I hope it is the former case, because If it is the latter, the possibility of him committing crimes again is not low."

Hua Chong slightly frowned, "Because of the fear of imitation crimes, the Municipal Bureau has notified all branches and police stations to strengthen the security in their jurisdictions."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, and continued: "He is meticulous in thinking, and while not leaving any loopholes, he may be deliberately misleading us - but at present we don't know which appearances are false, and we only feel that his actions are contradictory. But on the other hand, Sang Hai , This person is very emotional, and his words are contradictory many times. This is either lying, or he is overly nervous, causing logical confusion. If Song Hai is the murderer, then this case will not be difficult at all."

Hua Chong propped his temples, "But there are no other clues at present. Xu Yujiao's interpersonal relationship has been checked, and the Internet and call records have also been checked. There is nothing suspicious."

"Then we have to continue to investigate at the place where the crime happened." Perhaps because he had not officially entered the job yet, Liu Zhiqin seemed a little relaxed, "Flower Team, do you remember the last time we met?"

"Aren't we discussing the case?" Hua Chong was speechless, why did he suddenly mention that night?

"I said at the time that the building is most attractive when it is being built, and so is the case." Liu Zhiqin smiled, "The most attractive is when it has not been solved."

This is true, Hua Chong thought.

"Let's go to Daoqiao Road tomorrow. Didn't Sang Hai buy a fruit knife at the hardware store because he talked with the residents there? If we continue the chat, what if we can find the whereabouts of the household hammer?" Liu Zhi Qin paused, and then said: "And there is one more thing, I have been a little concerned after reading the transcript."

"What's the matter?" Hua Chong leaned forward a little, intuiting that what Liu Zhiqin cares about is the same as what he cares about.

"The person who found Xu Yujiao's body was called Qiu Dakui, but the person who reported it was called Lu Changjian." Liu Zhiqin said, "Why didn't this Qiu Dakui call the police himself?"

Hua Chong stared at Liu Zhiqin and didn't speak for a long time.

He always felt that something was wrong about this matter, but compared with other clues, Qiu Dakui's failure to report the case was really nothing.Now that Liu Zhiqin brought it up, that little doubt was suddenly magnified.

Liu Zhiqin raised his pen and shook it, "Flower team?"

"Ah..." Hua Chong came back to his senses, "Okay, I'll check tomorrow!"

As he was speaking, he was about to stand up, but Liu Zhiqin on the side suddenly approached, Hua Chong froze on his seat, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The distance between the two is so close that Hua Chong can even smell the faint scent of shampoo on the other's body.

After returning from the Northwest, his sleep quality has not been high. In the past two days, because of Xu Yujiao's case, he has exhausted his mind and energy, and his reaction suddenly falters, and his eyes rarely show a trace of bewilderment.

"Flower Team, you need to rest well." Liu Zhiqin's voice was as gentle as his smile, and the tails of his eyes were crooked when he spoke, not aggressive at all, "You have a lot of red blood in your eyes, and you are also a little hairy right now. green."

"Yeah." Hua Chong lowered his eyes, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it, "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it..."

Before he finished speaking, the hand rubbing his eyes was gently grasped.

Hua Chong paused, and looked up vigilantly.

"I have a bottle of eye drops here to relieve visual fatigue." Before Hua Chong could break free, Liu Zhiqin let go, retreated to the sofa on the other side, and took out a small square box from the pocket of the coat he took off, "Hua Chong Team, the more you rub your eyes, the more uncomfortable they become, how can rubbing away the redness? This eyedrop is good, give it a try?"

"Thank you." Hua Chong took it, and touched Liu Zhiqin's fingertips with his fingers.

He seldom uses eye drops, dripping indiscriminately.

Liu Zhiqin said: "The eyeballs lift up and drip on the white of the lower eye."

Hua Chong wasted a few drops, and just made the effect of tears streaming down his face.His eyes were already red, but now he really looked like he was crying.

Liu Zhiqin took out a few pieces of paper, "It's really hard being a serious criminal police officer."

While wiping off the dripping eye drops, Hua Chong asked following the words: "Then what do you think? Well, the Ministry of Public Security will not wait, and transfer us here to endure hardship."

"I want to stay at the Ministry of Public Security." Liu Zhiqin shrugged, although he was still smiling, but that smile had a bit more bitterness.

"Huh?" Hua Chong was curious, "Didn't you transfer here voluntarily?"

"Who told you that I was transferred here voluntarily?" Liu Zhiqin sighed softly, "I violated discipline, and I can't stay in the information warfare team any longer."

Hua Chong recalled that neither Chen Zheng nor the transfer document mentioned Liu Zhiqin's violation of discipline.

But this is not surprising.There are considerations above, and not every transfer document will introduce the "black history" of the transferee.

He wasn't interested in inquiring either.

"Let's not talk about this." Liu Zhiqin let out a breath of relief, "Flower Team, what time are you going to the scene tomorrow?"

"8 o'clock." Hua Chong looked at the time, "Where do you live? It's getting late, if you have nothing to do, hurry back."

"I live in the second phase of Huajing." Liu Zhiqin said, "I just rented a house."

"Phase II of the painting scene?" Hua Chongxin said, what a coincidence, "I live there too."

"Really?" Liu Zhiqin showed a little surprise, "Then we can go to and from get off work together from now on."

Hua Chong suddenly felt uncomfortable.The Municipal Bureau is in the Pingfeng District in the center of Los Angeles, and the Huajing Community is in the Changlu District in the north. The distance between the two is far away, and neither the subway nor the bus can go directly there.And even in Changlu District, the Huajing Community is a relatively remote area.He originally settled his home in Huajing Phase II, not because of the low housing prices, but because he had no colleagues living in that area.

When not handling cases as the leader of the serious crime team, he needs an environment where he will never be disturbed. Even when commuting to and from get off work, he doesn't want to go on the same road with acquaintances.

But now, a new colleague actually told him that he also lives in the second phase of Huajing.

"Why do you want to rent a house there?" Hua Chong pretended to be casual and asked, "Huajing is far away from the city bureau, driving is too congested, and taking the subway is too crowded. Too much time is spent in traffic every day."

"But the rent over there is cheap, and the environment and supporting facilities are also good. For the same money, I can only rent one toilet near the city bureau." Liu Zhiqin smiled, "I'm new here, so I need to save money."

This is the reasoning, but Hua Chong is somewhat helpless.

"Flower team, why don't we go back together?" Liu Zhiqin suggested, "I saw you going to the subway station that day, and it was troublesome to transfer. I have a motorcycle, so I can pack you up and send you home."

Hua Chong's eyelids twitched, "It's better to say goodbye, the motorcycle carrying people violates traffic rules."

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Liu Zhiqin smiled, "And now it's dark, no one cares."

After all, Hua Chong didn't take Liu Zhiqin's motorcycle back, not because he obeyed the traffic rules, but because he was not used to his personal space and time being invaded by others.

Early the next morning, some members of the serious crime team went to Daoqiao Road again.

Liu Zhiqin hadn't received his uniform yet, but he was wearing a cotton sportswear, sitting at Old Man Qiu's breakfast stand, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks, looking like an ordinary white-collar worker.

But other white-collar workers rushed to the nearby subway station after buying breakfast. Even if they sat on the plastic bench to eat, they would still gobble it up, wishing they could eat a big bun.Liu Zhiqin ate leisurely, ordered all the breakfasts on the tricycle one by one, and ate for half an hour.

For half an hour, the white-collar workers came and went in a hurry, and it was difficult to find someone to chat with.

At 9 o'clock, the breakfast was almost sold out, and the urban management began to urge the hawkers to clean up. The old man Qiu swears and teared down the tables.

Not long after, Liu Zhiqin was the only diner left at the stall.

He bought a lot, and old man Qiu couldn't say anything. He walked around in front of him a few times, kept looking at the table, and finally couldn't help it after a few minutes, "Young man, the urban management urged us to close the stall, these leftover buns Shall I pack you a bag?"

Liu Zhiqin avoided the strong bad breath, wiped his hands, "Then I will trouble you."

Old man Qiu immediately yelled viciously: "Useless things, come and pack them!"

Qiu Dakui ran over with a big plastic bag, grabbed the bun with greasy hands and put it in his pocket.

Liu Zhiqin looked at him, and suddenly struck up a conversation: "Your buns taste very special, are they all sold out?"

Qiu Dakui's face was extremely uncomfortable, he paused his hands, and quickly denied, "No, it's nothing special, everyone does this."

Liu Zhiqin narrowed his eyes, "Oh, I mean, the fragrance is very strong and the taste is very good."

"Oh, oh." Qiu Dakui packed the buns and tied a knot, "Then today, I will come here often from now on!"

Liu Zhiqin took the bun and smiled kindly, "Definitely."
