heart poison

The case of Xiao Chaogang's disappearance was not a case of the Municipal Bureau, but it was detected "by the way" during the investigation of a series of throat-cutting cases, and everyone in the serious crime team was quite excited.However, Li Liwen has a split personality, which is equivalent to suffering from a serious mental illness.And chasing from the guest house to the river bank, it was Li Liwen's unhealthy personality that finally killed Xiao Chaogang.

Li Liwen may not bear criminal responsibility.

"It's like a bucket of cold water on your head! It's chilling to your heart!" Cao Han leaned against the small conference table of the serious crime team and ate an egg cake that someone bought. He was extremely exaggerated, and he had no image of a handsome guy. He ate half a bag full of it in a short while, wiped his mouth, and said, "I can't do anything when I meet this kind of murderer! I tried my best to catch it. Take a look, hey, you are mentally ill, you are not responsible for killing people!"

"Tsk, Captain Cao! Are you dizzy? You can't talk nonsense, and not all mentally ill people are not responsible for killing people. Although some people are mentally ill, they are sober when they kill—as long as we can prove that they If he is sober, he still has to bear the responsibility, not necessarily the death penalty." Zhang Mao was not interested in egg cakes at first, but when he passed by and saw Cao Han eating so deliciously, he also leaned against the table to eat, "If Li Liwen If Xiao Chaogang was killed in a normal state, he would also have to bear criminal responsibility. Damn, this thing is bad because of the split personality, the split one is still mentally unsound, and it belongs to killing when he can't control his behavior. Go for a formal appraisal In terms of procedures, [-]% would think that he is indeed ill."

"He's really sick. We can't force him to say that he's not sick. It's too inhuman." Cao Han shook his head sadly, his handsome face squeezed into a funny emoji, "But he doesn't have to take responsibility." Criminal responsibility, Xiao Chaogang was killed by a mental patient, so he died for nothing! Although Xiao Chaogang is a bastard, he will not die!"

"Hey!" Zhang Mao followed with emotion, "Yeah, it's just death in vain!"

Before Liu Zhiqin entered the office, he heard the familiar "Mallyyo". When he entered the room, he saw Cao Han.

"Brother Xiaoliu!" Cao Han shouted in his unique accent: "Come and eat egg cake! It's hot, I don't know who will buy it!"

When Liu Zhiqin heard the word "egg baked cake", his heart skipped a beat.

I really want to say something back to Cao Han: I bought the cake you ate.

Hua Chong ate cake in the morning—the kind of brick-shaped honey cake sold by the catty. After eating, he said casually, "I still want to eat egg baked cakes when the weather is cold. The cake is too cold", so he took time to go to the city bureau. In the alley opposite, I waited for a quarter of an hour at the only bakery stall before buying a bag of steaming cakes with different flavors.

Buying so many was not because Hua Chong had a good appetite and ate a lot, but because he didn't know what kind of flavor Hua Chong liked to eat, so he simply bought a few of them and brought them back for Hua Chong to choose.

But the egg baked cake was bought back, and Hua Chong disappeared.He had to go to other departments to find it.

Unexpectedly, after leaving for a while, Cao Han and Zhang Mao ate a bag of cakes and baked them to single digits.

Liu Zhiqin's eyes twitched, and he approached as if nothing had happened, his gaze resting on the bag containing the egg cake.

Cao Han wrapped one in oiled paper, "Aren't you hungry? Come on, this kind of creamy meat floss tastes the best. There's one left."

Liu Zhiqin took it, and sighed secretly, not noticing that he was led astray by Cao Han again, "Thank you."

This "thank you" was heard by Hua Chong who hurried back to the serious crime team.

"Hey, the flower team is back!" Cao Han raised his hand and began to "sell" egg cakes again, "It's delicious! Do you want to try one?"

The egg cake was small, Liu Zhiqin finished eating it quickly, and asked, "Flower Team, where did you go just now?"

Hua Chong heard a hint of dissatisfaction from his words, but he didn't know what he was dissatisfied with. Looking at the egg cakes on the table, he raised his eyebrows, "You bought it?"

Cao Han immediately glared at Liu Zhiqin, "Brother Xiao Liu, do you want to buy it?"

"Fuck!" Zhang Trade choked his mouth, "I ate seven!"

"Eat, it's okay." Liu Zhiqin smiled generously, looked at Hua Chong, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat?"

Hua Chong suddenly understood what was causing the dissatisfaction in his words just now——

where have you beenYou said you wanted to eat egg cakes, I ran to buy them for you, but you were not here, the egg cakes were almost eaten by these two.

Hua Chong couldn't help being funny, although he knew that Liu Zhiqin wouldn't talk like that, but thinking about it secretly, it was quite funny.

He bent his lips, stepped forward to take one at random, and said after eating, "Xu Kan notified me immediately that Li Liwen was unwilling to undergo a psychiatric appraisal."

"Ah?" Zhang Mao asked in shock: "What does he mean? Whether a mentally ill person needs to bear criminal responsibility for killing people must go through a professional judicial appraisal! He wants to play tricks?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "No, he admitted it."

"Recognized?" Liu Zhiqin took out a piece of paper and handed it over, "He admitted that he killed Xiao Chaogang?"

"Hmm." Hua Chong took the paper and wiped it on his fingers a few times, "He insisted that he was not mentally ill, he was a normal person, and he pretended to have a split personality in order to get rid of the crime."

"This..." Cao Han was so shocked that he spoke normally, "I've only heard of normal people pretending to be mentally ill to avoid responsibility, but I haven't heard of mentally ill pretending to be normal."

"Mr. Xu said that Li Liwen should have a real split personality." Zhang Mao was puzzled, "When his other personality came out to kill, he was indeed in a state of ignorance."

"Li Liwen said that all of this is enough here." Hua Chong sighed, "He didn't want to say more, he always emphasized that he killed Xiao Chaogang, and he firmly refused to accept the mental appraisal."

Zhang Trade was stunned for a while, "It's strange."

"The days of working to make a living, being frightened, and being humiliated were too hard for him, and he had enough. The days of being 'protected' by that dysfunctional personality were too weird." Liu Zhiqin said, "Li Liwen may hope to come here. So far, no more struggle."

After Cao Han and Zhang Mao left, Hua Chongcai said, "I guess Li Liwen didn't want to receive systematic treatment, so he said that. Once the spiritual experts determine that he really has a split personality and that the murderer is another personality, then It is true that he does not have to bear criminal responsibility, but he must receive treatment and cooperate with research. After all, split personality is very rare. The treatment process may not be better than going to jail, and he may lose that unhealthy personality. "

"He is reluctant?" Liu Zhiqin asked while clearing the table.

"He's lonely, he's been in Los Angeles for so many years, but he hasn't made a single friend. He thinks no one can understand him—except his alter ego."

"Very good." Liu Zhiqin's tone sounded a little indifferent, "Xiao Chaogang was stabbed more than 30 times, most of them were not in vital places, and the death process was extremely painful. If Li Liwen escaped punishment because of a serious mental illness, it would be It's so frustrating."

Hua Chong looked at Liu Zhiqin's side face, and suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch her.

Egg baked cakes are not a local snack in Los Angeles, and they are rare in the streets and alleys. He just thought of egg baked cakes in the morning, but if he wanted to eat them, he didn't really want to eat them too much.

But Liu Zhiqin ran to buy back a big bag without making a sound.

The egg baked cake in my mouth was not very warm, and the taste was not as good as the freshly baked cake, but my heart was soft and numb, and the fingers that held the egg baked cake were slightly warm.

When he realized it, his hot fingers were already on Liu Zhiqin's cheek.

When Liu Zhiqin turned his head, his pupils were like a black sea, deep and sinking.

Hua Chong looked at him for a long time, maybe not for a long time, he turned his eyes away and said, "Danbaicao, thank you."

??

The search for Man Xiaocheng's relationship was not smooth. There were not many relatives in Man's family and Xiang's family, but Man Xiaocheng had quite a few friends, but none of them fit the characteristics of the footprints at the crime scene.

As for who Man Xiaocheng's biological father was, no one could answer.

Relatives of Xiang Yunfang's family insisted that Xiang Yunfang was innocent and never betrayed Man Guojun.The old workers of the Wenming Town Measuring Tool Factory also said that Man and Xiang have a very good relationship, and it doesn't look like outsiders are involved.

I searched and checked again and again, but I didn't get any valuable clues.

But one of the details is very eye-catching - Man Guojun has type O blood, and Xiang Wenfang has type AB blood. Their children can only be type A or B blood, and there is absolutely no possibility of type O blood. Or AB blood type, and Man Xiaocheng happens to be AB type blood.People of Man Guojun's age may not realize the importance of blood type in identifying parent-child relationship, or they may take it for granted that he is type O, his wife is type AB, and it is normal for the child to follow the mother and also be type AB.But Xiang Wenfang is the mother and the one who conceived, so it is impossible for a man to be ignorant of the child's origin.She will inevitably pay attention to the blood type of the child, and be terrified by it.

"Since the murderer took the risk to avenge Man Xiaocheng, it shows that he cares about Man Xiaocheng very much. When Man Xiaocheng was alive, he shouldn't ignore Man Xiaocheng and Xiang Yunfang. Especially when Man Xiaocheng was killed After being forced to resign from Wenming No. [-] Middle School and Xiang Wenfang fell ill." Hua Chong walked up and down by the projector, "But if he had been close to their mother and child, how could the people around him not notice it? If he supported him financially We can't find out and justify their mother and child."

"That means he has never been close to Xiang Yunfang and Man Xiaocheng. Before avenging Man Xiaocheng, he had no contact with their family." Liu Zhiqin sat on the table with a laptop next to him.

Hua Chong stood still, frowned and thought, "Under what circumstances will this be true?"

"It's a fact that he never got close to Xiang Yunfang's mother and son, otherwise someone must have noticed. There may be people lying around Xiang Yunfang, but not all of them." Liu Zhiqin said: "The problem is the murderer's circumstances. Having sex with Xiang Yunfang. Are they in a relationship? Was Xiang Yunfang voluntary?"

"The possibility is very low." Hua Chong shook his head, "When Xiang Yunfang was pregnant, she was not married to Man Guojun. There was no such thing as forced marriage back then. Xiang Yunfang and Man Guojun were introduced by the factory leader and got along well. If Xiang Yunfang is in a relationship with another man and has a relationship voluntarily, why should she hide it? Why is she still married to Man Guojun? Also, if Xiang Yunfang and this man They were in a relationship at the time, so it was impossible for the other party to completely disappear from Xiang Yunfang's life after Xiang Yunfang got married. In addition, Xiang Yunfang took care of Man Guojun for many years, until he fell ill and was hospitalized. She had feelings for Man Guojun Feelings, and free love and marriage. Then in reverse, how could she fall in love with another man before getting married? It is not logical to push forward or reverse."

"Then Xiang Yunfang was forced? For some reason, she was forced to have a relationship with someone, and accidentally became pregnant?" Liu Zhiqin folded her hands, "She hid the truth from everyone? Didn't tell anyone Have you been violated yourself?"

"At least her relatives and Man Guojun don't know about it." Hua Chong said: "But if it is a sexual assault, it will be more complicated. There is basically no way to investigate the sexual assault case more than 30 years ago."

"More than 30 years ago, a woman was sexually assaulted when she was passionately in love and was about to enter the palace of marriage. Would she take the initiative to speak out?" Liu Zhiqin raised her eyes, "She won't. To her, this is It's a shame, a stain that can't be washed away in a lifetime. If Xiang Yunfang was really sexually assaulted, she will most likely keep the secret and bear the mental pressure alone. Because if she tells, her family will What do you think of her? What will Man Guojun think of her? Is her marriage still possible?"

Hua Chong frowned, "One month after being sexually assaulted, Xiang Yunfang found out that she was pregnant. She could have aborted the child, but she didn't. She gave birth to the child in October."

"Two explanations. First, she is a woman, and her maternal instinct makes her reluctant to kill her own flesh and blood. The person who violated her is at fault, but the child is innocent; second, she has already dated Man Guojun It has been nearly three years, and although it was not as open as it is now, it is not unusual for couples who are about to get married to have a relationship. She took a chance and thought that the fetus might be Man Guojun's child." Liu Zhiqin said Picking up the laptop and putting it on his lap, he tapped his fingers on the keyboard. "In the past, it was difficult for ordinary people to get paternity testing. The only stupid way to check whether the child is their own blood is to look at the blood type. Xiang Yunfang may Soon after becoming successful, she learned through her blood type that Man Xiaocheng was not her and Man Guojun's child. She kept lying to Man Guojun until Man Guojun was suspicious and asked her the truth because of other people's gossip."

Hua Chong was silent for a while, "But according to this, Xiang Yunfang was sexually assaulted by Man Xiaocheng's biological father, and they haven't contacted each other since they had a relationship. How did Man Xiaocheng's biological father know that Man Xiaocheng is his?" Son? What's even more unreasonable is that he has ignored the mother and son for decades, so why does he suddenly want to avenge Man Xiaocheng?"

"By blood type?" Liu Zhiqin temporarily ignored the latter question, "Although he has never had contact with Xiang Yunfang's mother and son, he has been paying attention to them? What is Man Xiaocheng's blood type? It is easy to find out. Knowing something, at least better than Man Guojun, knowing that Man Xiaocheng is not Man Guojun's child, and comparing his blood type, he can match. Even if he has not done a paternity test, he may be [-]% sure——Man Xiaocheng It's his child."

Hua Chong walked to the table, sat side by side with Liu Zhiqin, and said while thinking: "But we still haven't figured out the most contradictory point - he has the desire for revenge, which shows that he cares about Man Xiaocheng very much, but Since he cared so much, how did he manage to ignore Man Xiaocheng and Xiang Yunfang in the past so many years? He didn't even show up by their side."

Liu Zhiqin overturned the previous conclusion, "What if he is actually by Man Xiaocheng's side?"

Hua Chong turned his head, "What do you mean?"

"He's by Man Xiaocheng's side, but because it's so natural, others can't detect their relationship."

The small meeting room fell silent, except for the slightest breathing.

After a while, Hua Chong suddenly said: "You and I are colleagues, we should be together all the time."

Liu Zhiqin raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Chong.

Hua Chong met his gaze, "Will we act together, will it attract the attention of others? Will they think we have other relationships?"

Liu Zhiqin's throat was a little hoarse, and he knew that Hua Chong's words were not "flirting" with him at this time, but he was still distracted.

"No." Hua Chong asked himself and answered.

Liu Zhiqin quickly drove away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, "You mean to say that Man Xiaocheng's biological father is his colleague in Wenming No. [-] Middle School? Both father and son are teachers?"

"If we follow our reasoning just now, this possibility is not small." Hua Chong said again: "But if counted by colleagues, Man Xiaocheng was already 23 years old when he went to work in Wenming No. 23 Middle School. What about the previous [-] years?" ?”

Liu Zhiqin got down from the table, lowered his head slightly, and quickly filtered various guesses in his mind, "He used to be Man Xiaocheng's teacher!"

"It's very possible!" Hua Chong said, "This coincides with your previous idea!"

Liu Zhiqin's expression was not relaxed, but he frowned, "Last time, I thought that Man Xiaocheng's biological father was someone like Lan Youjun, but at that time, we only knew that he had a relationship with Xiang Yunfang. No 'he was a rapist' conclusion was drawn."

Hua Chong understands, "A rapist who is immoral, and a teacher who teaches and educates people, the two images are completely different."

"However, if you think about it another way, the images of a teacher who teaches and educates people, and a murderer who cuts his throat cruelly, these two images are also completely different." Liu Zhiqin said in a low voice.

Hua Chong rubbed his forehead, "Now we have encountered a bottleneck in mopai, and there is nothing to check, then follow your inspiration."

Liu Zhiqin: "Teacher Cha?"

"Yeah, but you can't investigate with great fanfare, and you can't cast a big net." Hua Chong said: "If you want to investigate, you should investigate. Teachers who used to work in primary and secondary schools in Wenming Town and now work in Los Angeles."

"It's the stage of 'cautious verification' again." Liu Zhiqin raised the corners of his lips slightly, "By the way, I thought of a possibility about the day Feng Xuemin was killed."

"Ok?"

"Isn't the traffic police detachment unable to find suspicious vehicles along the way? But Feng Xuemin went to Fengchao South Road to play mahjong on a temporary basis, and the murderer couldn't have known in advance. The murderer must have followed Feng Xuemin. If it wasn't on the ground, it was in the sky."

"Drone?" Hua Chong immediately responded.

"Yes. Drone." Liu Zhiqin raised his chin to the laptop, "I'm checking."

??

On the campus of Los Angeles No. [-] Middle School, there are several rows of low-rise houses behind the secluded forest on the west side, which are the residences of teachers and family members.

The house is built according to the standard of commercial housing, but the price is very cheap. Every teacher who has worked in No. [-] Middle School for two years can subscribe, which is one of the benefits given to teachers by No. [-] Middle School.

Of course, most of the teachers in No. [-] Middle School are not short of money, and they have also purchased real estate in other real estates, and the ones in the school are rented out to students who do not want to live in dormitories.

But Shan Nonghan has been living in the school.

In the past few years, like Lan Youjun, he led the third-year science experimental class every year. The work was heavy and the pressure was high. Living in school was the best choice.Now that I have retired to lead the first year of high school, there is no need to stay in school all the time.

Lan Youjun had already rented out the house in the school, and the rent was used to pay for Lan Jing's medical expenses.

After school at noon, Shan Nonghan had lunch in the cafeteria. He wanted to go straight back to the office, but suddenly he felt restless and turned his head towards home.

He is a key teacher recruited with a high salary in No. [-] Middle School. He has been appraised for his title long ago, and he is eligible to buy a house on campus as soon as he joins the job, and he doesn't have to wait until two years later.He chose the top floor, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, about a hundred square meters.

At that time, many colleagues thought that he was obviously single, but he wanted to buy such a big house because he wanted to rent it out to students to make money. After all, if there were three sets of bunk beds in each bedroom, one room could accommodate six people, and three rooms could accommodate 18 people. After a year, just collecting rent is a considerable income.

But he has lived in the house for more than ten years and has never rented out the house to students.

The house is very clean. It was cleaned by someone not long ago. Everything that needs to be dealt with has been taken care of. If you smell it carefully, you can still smell the smell of disinfectant.

He changed his shoes, walked into the living room, and glanced around, his eyes showing some coldness.

The evaluations of him by previous students are quite uniform: good at teaching, humorous, gentle and patient.

Some teachers even joked with him, saying, Mr. Shen, if you were ten years younger, you would definitely be in trouble.

He laughed it off.

But being funny and gentle is just what he looks like in front of people.

He walked to a slender mirror, stared at himself in the mirror, and felt that what he saw was not a person, but a monster with a hideous face.

??

The continuous high-intensity secret investigation finally came to fruition.

"Flower team! There used to be a math teacher at Wenming Measuring Tool Factory's children's school. His name was Shen Nonghan. He was poached by Los Angeles No. 13 Middle School 58 years ago. He is [-] years old this year!" Hua Chong was blocked at the entrance of Zheng's office, with an excited expression on his face, "We are cooperating with the accumulated case team. Xiao Chengxin has made great efforts this time, saying that he wants to repay us! We only found this one according to the scope defined by you and Brother Xiaoliu." Someone who fits the criminal profile! Look, here's his picture!"

Hua Chong took the tablet and looked at the person in the photo, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

Have you seen it somewhere?

"He is a famous teacher in Los Angeles No. [-] Middle School, and he has brought out many famous students." Zhang Mao poured out the information he had: "He is not married, has great prestige among the students, and is very popular. Being popular is not the same as full Xiaocheng is very similar! When Man Xiaocheng was teaching in Wenming No. [-] Middle School, wasn’t he very popular? This Shen Nonghan had an unusual job change last year. He used to lead the senior year like Lan Youjun for a long time. Ask to be transferred to the first year of high school to teach. The point is!"

Zhang Mao took a deep breath and raised his voice, "When he was teaching at Wenming Measuring Tool Factory Children's School, he was Man Xiaocheng's head teacher! And he used to only teach mathematics, not a head teacher, and he never became a head teacher. The only time he As the head teacher, Man Xiaocheng is the one who leads me! This can't be a coincidence!"
