heart poison

"How could so many people die?" Zhang Mao was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were shaking before he arrived at Wutong Community, "This, this is too scary!"

"Calm down!" Qu Zhi patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't follow if you can't bear it!"

"No!" Zhang Mao swallowed his saliva and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Eleven old people, what's the point? And it happened in a residential area. Didn't this fucking cause social panic on purpose?"

"So let's not panic." Qu Zhi's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"I, I..." Zhang Mao clenched his fists tightly, "I can't be completely calm, eleven lives, just listening to it makes me shudder. Which murderer is so cruel? 'He' has something to do with those old people What kind of hatred? Damn...if I were the children of those old people..."

"You are a police officer of the Serious Crime Squad!" Qu Zhi shouted, "Calm down before you get to the scene. Don't let Team Hua and Team Chen see you acting like this! If you can't do it, you can do it now!" car."

"Team Chen has gone too?"

"There has never been such a big case in Los Angeles. Not to mention Team Chen, even Captain Han Quhan of the special police detachment has arrived at the scene."

??

In Wutong Community, the morning is the most energetic time. A small number of young people go out to work. Grandparents in their 60s and [-]s buy vegetables, walk their grandchildren with their grandchildren, and older people take a walk in the community. body, or on crutches to the riverside recreation area across the road.

Los Angeles is a big city, with a fast-paced life and a lot of pressure, but in Wutong District, the rhythm and time seem to have slowed down.

Maybe it's people's twilight years, commemorating the little life left, and not wanting it to pass too fast.

But now, the entire community is sealed off. Special police officers dressed in pure black combat uniforms and armed with automatic rifles are stationed outside the community. Snipers occupy the commanding heights of nearby buildings. arrive.

In ordinary murder scenes, there are often a large number of people watching the excitement outside the warning zone, but outside Wutong Community, there are almost no crowds except pedestrians passing by by mistake. The road is temporarily blocked, and even the opposite Binhe leisure There are no idlers in the district.

The music of the square dance stopped, and the tense atmosphere made the air extremely sticky.

Faced with groups of SWAT police armed with live ammunition, probably no one will not be afraid.What's more, the excitement of one person's death can be watched, but eleven people died all at once, which is not a excitement that can be watched casually.

Before the serious crime team of the Municipal Bureau arrived, the criminal police of the branch bureau did not dare to move the corpses at will, and did not look at the scene hastily. Therefore, when Hua Chong and others arrived, the eleven victims were still lying in their homes.

They were killed in their own homes!

Because there were too many victims, the trace inspectors and forensic doctors of the city bureau were too busy, so Chen Zheng temporarily recruited many people from various sub-bureaus.At this time, all seven crime scenes were sealed off, trace inspectors were urgently extracting important evidence, and forensic doctors were doing a preliminary autopsy to confirm the cause of death.

Hua Chong stood in the property office, his right hand holding the list of victims trembled slightly, several pages were crumpled, and the screen in front of him was in the shape of snowflakes, completely unable to display images.

"We don't know what's going on, what's going on." The property manager on duty was stunned and sent to the hospital. The person in charge who came to cooperate with the police investigation was a person in charge of the headquarters, surnamed Hong Mingguo, in his 40s. He is tall and big, but he is already very frightened, and trembles when he speaks, "Yesterday, last night, the surveillance was broken, damaged, and I can't take pictures, take pictures, can't take pictures. It has been repaired urgently, but why is it like this , I, I don't know either."

The property manager on the night shift couldn't stand up, and sat on the chair dumbfounded, repeating: "It's none of my business, I've been in the office and haven't gone anywhere. I don't know what happened, I don't know!"

Hua Chong raised his right hand, looked at the series of names on the white paper, his chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and all his anger was accumulated on the boulder.

The 11 people killed involved seven families, including three couples, a sister, two men who lived alone, and a woman who lived alone.The youngest among them is 63 years old, and the oldest is 83 years old this year. They were supposed to enjoy their old age peacefully, but they suddenly suffered from this disaster.The murderer had destroyed the surveillance in advance, apparently well prepared.But what kind of murderer would be so cruel that he killed 11 people in succession?

What is the relationship between these eleven people?

What is the murderer's purpose?

Suddenly, there was a sound from the earphones, and Liu Zhiqin's voice sounded: "Flower team. It's me."

"What did you find?" Hua Chong asked tightly.

"The camera doesn't work, not because of simple interference." Liu Zhiqin said: "The monitoring system of the community was implanted into the back door a month ago, and fell into the control of others."

"Can you trace the other party's IP?"

Liu Zhiqin was silent for two seconds, then sighed: "Not yet."

Hua Chong frowned, inexplicably thinking of Fu Xuhuan, who once called wind and rain on the virtual network, killing people without blood.

But obviously, this case should not be related to Fu Xuhuan.

Shen Xun refused to disclose Fu Xuhuan's whereabouts. It could not be that the special operations team let Fu Xuhuan slip away, but they "controlled" Fu Xuhuan.

What the special operations team wanted to do, it was not up to outsiders to intervene, so Hua Chong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'm in the property office, you come here first."

??

The families of the victims arrived one after another—but there were actually only three families who came.The other four elderly households either have no children, or their children are away from home and will not be able to come back soon.

Some of the family members who had come to the Wutong community were silent, while others wept loudly, asking why this happened.A pair of brothers and sisters are particularly eye-catching. The man is Tang Xiaoqiang, 48 years old, and the woman is Tang Xiaoxiang, 45 years old. They drive a good car and wear famous brands. Father, said that he killed the old father.Tang Xiaoxiang even fell to her knees in tears, knocking her forehead on the concrete floor several times in succession.

Hua Chong checked the list and found that their father was Tang Qiuhai, who lived alone on the 3th floor of Unit 14, and was the oldest victim.

Tang Xiaoxiang and Tang Xiaoqiang were taken to an office of the property, and Hua Chong asked, "I just heard you say—I'm sorry old father. What do you mean?"

Tang Xiaoxiang covered the upper half of her face with her hands, sobbing hard. Tang Xiaoqiang choked up and said, "Dad called us and said that when he woke up at night, he kept hearing abnormal noises outside. He suspected that someone was wandering outside the door. I was very scared and wanted to move in with us for a few days. Me, Xiaoxiang and I...we all have our own families."

Speaking of this, I don't know if I feel too guilty, Tang Xiaoqiang can't continue.

Tang Xiaoxiang explained while wiping her tears: "Dad has always wanted to live with us, and he has found some reasons before. I thought, thought he said there was noise outside, yes, he lied to me. He is old, and occasionally he will act like an old child .I didn't expect, I really didn't expect him to leave like this. If I knew that such a thing would happen, I would take him to my home no matter what!"

Hua Chong was indifferent to the crying of the two.

Children ignore the demands of the elderly, in today's society, it happens all the time.Tang Xiaoqiang and Tang Xiaoxiang seemed to be doing well at first glance, and buying their father a house by the riverside was considered filial piety. Tang Qiuhai's basic necessities of life should be worry-free, but it's hard to say what he looks like inside.

Hua Chong asked: "There was a noise outside, what exactly did Tang Qiuhai say?"

"He, he didn't say anything." Tang Xiaoqiang faltered: "He just said that he heard some strange voices, as if someone was wandering outside, and felt very uneasy. I asked him to lock the door. Even powerful thieves can get in, but they can't get in."

"That's what I told him too." Tang Xiaoxiang agreed.

Facing two people who just lost their father, Hua Chong didn't want to speak too harshly.

Tang Qiuhai must still want to tell them more, but they either use "I'm busy" or "Dad, you think too much" as an excuse to prevaricate Tang Qiuhai.

It was hard to imagine how Tang Qiuhai felt when the phone was hung up.

At present, Tang Qiuhai may be the only victim who noticed the abnormality.Unfortunately, even if he noticed, he still couldn't avoid the carnage.

"Yes, yes." Tang Xiaoqiang seemed to be making excuses for himself, and said eagerly: "Dad also told me, he, he asked the property management to report the abnormal noise, but the property management ignored it. This, this is the property management. The company doesn't do anything! My dad has been kind all his life, it is impossible for anyone to hate him, but he lives here, and he can't even guarantee his safety!"

??

"Why don't we care?" The manager was anxious and angry, trembling all over, "As soon as Mr. Tang Qiuhai came, I adjusted the floor monitoring for him. I checked the time he said, and I also checked the time before and after, but If there is no one, there is no one! If there is someone, can I change the person?"

Hua Chong watched the video for a while and said, "The camera has a blind spot."

"Cameras have blind spots." The property manager was so flustered that he couldn't choose what to say, "How can Mr. Tang and his sons and daughters have the right to criticize us? Have they ever visited Mr. Tang? I have seen Mr. Tang go out with a thermos several times. , asked him where he was going, and he said that the children didn’t come to see him, so he had to go see them by himself, and it’s not good to be empty-handed, so he just made some chicken soup and took it.”

This is definitely not a time for gossip parents, Hua Chong frowned and called Xu Kan, "How is the scene?"

"Wait a minute, the trace inspection hasn't finished yet."

"What about the cause of death?"

"Cut throat." Xu Kan's voice trembled, "Eleven people, all of them died of fatal neck injuries."

Hua Chong's eyelids twitched violently, and his vision was not clear. Holding the edge of the table with his left hand, he paused for a moment before saying, "The condition of the wound."

"I've only seen eight people now. Judging from the wounds, the perpetrator should be more than one person." Xu Kan said: "However, the knife is very neat. The blade of the murder weapon is about 10 centimeters long, and it is hard. It is not common on the market. That kind of knife."

"Compared with Yin Ziqiao's wound?"

Xu Kan seemed to have kicked something, stopped for a few seconds and said coldly, "It's very similar."
