heart poison

No one in the trace inspection department thought of modeling other footprints in the stairwell. Li Xun asked, "Hasn't the murderer been confirmed to be Ou Zhan?"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "Not necessarily."

"Who else would it be if it wasn't him?" Li Xun didn't believe it. "I read the autopsy report. Domestic violence is also classified into serious and serious. The injuries on Liang Ping's body can be classified as severe malignant injuries. Ou Zhan can beat her like that, If you strike harder, isn't it torture? Now that the evidence is complete and the motive is sufficient, how could the murderer be someone else?"

"To be on the safe side, I've done the modeling of other footprints. The ones that need to be compared must also be compared." Liu Zhiqin didn't explain the reason in detail, but said: "The flower team wants to see."

Li Xun frowned, a little reluctantly.

Liu Zhiqin understands that the Trace Inspection Division believes that modeling other people's footprints is equivalent to doing useless work on the premise that the suspect is already very clear, so they are not willing to cooperate-this is normal.When investigating a case, technical departments such as forensic medicine and trace inspection need to cooperate with the serious crime team and other teams of the criminal investigation detachment. Often, what the criminal police say, the forensic doctor and trace inspectors have to follow suit, but if the requirements of the criminal police are unreasonable, they will Will also refute and reject.

The problem now is that most people believe that Ou Zhan is the murderer. The evidence is complete, but the confession is missing. In the case of complete evidence, the confession is actually not that important.

Liu Zhiqin patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

This sentence sounded like a polite and request, and Liu Zhiqin's tone was not serious, but Li Xun felt a layer upon layer of pressure.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Zhiqin in bewilderment.

Liu Zhiqin withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back first."

"Yeah." Li Xun stood there for a while, until he caught a glimpse of Liu Zhiqin's figure disappearing at the corner at the end of the corridor. to the department.

??

Hua Chong wanted to talk to Chen Zheng about the case, but when he went upstairs, he found that Chen Zheng was not there again.

Chen Zheng seldom stayed in the city bureau these days.Some people say that Team Chen is "active" on the top, dealing with big shots. On the one hand, it is for the entire criminal investigation detachment. It was too big, Chen Dui was suspected by his superiors, so he simply put down his burden to avoid suspicion, and completely ignored the matter.

Hua Chong remembered Chen Zheng's sentence "I never doubted you" last time, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He told Liu Zhiqin that he would not be surprised no matter who was found to have a problem with the city bureau in the future—even if it was Qu Zhi, Xu Kan, or Chen Zheng.But speaking from his heart, the last thing he wanted was Chen Zheng.

In these years, Chen Zheng seemed unreliable and almost never handled the case himself, but he did a lot behind the scenes and helped the people under him bear a lot of pressure.If the leader is changed, the Criminal Investigation Detachment may encounter countless difficulties and obstacles when investigating some cases.

If Chen Zheng is the one with the problem, this is really unacceptable.

Hua Chong stood at the door of the captain's office for a while, and was about to go downstairs when he saw Liu Zhiqin standing by the stairs.

"I didn't see you downstairs, so I guess you came to see Team Chen." Liu Zhiqin looked at the closed door, "Is Team Chen not here?"

"Well, I wanted to report the clues to him and ask his opinion." Hua Chong walked towards the stairs, "Forget it, we'll talk about it when he comes back. How about the trace inspection department?"

"Modeling has already begun."

Back at the Office of the Serious Crime Squad, Hua Chong said: "Just now Xiao Chengxin sent me a case file from 13 years ago. One of the victims, like Wang Zhangbing, also suffers from Alzheimer's disease and was also caused by strangulation. died."

Liu Zhiqin's eyes changed slightly, "13 years ago? Do you think the two cases are related?"

Hua Chong described the case of Hu You and Hu Xiangjuan in detail, and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Zhiqin sat on the edge of the table with one leg propped on the pedal under the chair, and did not answer immediately.

Hua Chong's eyes fell on his unusually long legs, and he wanted to teach him how to sit properly, don't always sit on the table, and don't show off your long legs blatantly.But after thinking about it carefully, he retreated in his heart.

Liu Zhiqin is very well-behaved most of the time, especially when sitting in front of the computer, but occasionally he is not so well-behaved. He likes to sit on the table and stretch his legs.It’s quite restrained in the office, but it’s another scene at home, with legs resting on the chair for a while, and resting on the back of the sofa for a while.It's obviously a rough pose, but Liu Zhiqin did it with a pleasing filter.

Probably because the legs are long and good-looking.

Hua Chong came back to his senses, and simply sat on the table with Liu Zhiqin.

"Based on the existing evidence, I tend to believe that Lu Zhouan is the murderer. He was not killed, but absconded in fear of crime." Liu Zhiqin said: "However, sometimes the case file is not credible, and we have not directly contacted this case. case. Sometimes the evidence can lie, for example, the current evidence points to Ou Zhan, but the murderer is likely to be another person who hides deeply."

"Then assume that Lu Zhou'an is indeed the murderer." Hua Chong said.

Liu Zhiqin's eyes were half-bright and half-dark, and he said after a while: "The three brothers and sisters of the Wang family regard Wang Zhangbing as a burden. To Lu Zhou'an, Hu You is also a burden, and an even heavier burden. Because of this grandfather who can't take care of himself, He gave up the job he longed for. Another point is that compared with the three siblings of the Wang family, he has a heavier mental burden—Wang Nuoqiang, Wang Xiaoning, and Wang Chuning lived a mediocre life without much pursuit in the workplace. But Lu Zhouan obviously hopes to make some achievements in the arsenal. In other words, he has ideals."

Hua Chong nodded, "Affected by his resignation and returning home, Lu Zhou'an's psychology has undergone tremendous changes in the two years from 25 to 27 years old. He has changed from a person who yearns for life to a cruel executioner who kills relatives. If he still Alive, during the 27 years from the age of 40 to the age of 13, he must have been in hiding, unable to find a place to settle down, so what has become of him now?"

Liu Zhiqin lowered his head in thought, and raised his eyelids for a while, "I said just now that before resigning and returning to Hefu Town, Lu Zhouan had ideals. Perhaps for him, doing research is a lifelong pursuit. Hu You is sick. , Hu Xiangjuan forced him to go home to take care of him, which is equivalent to destroying his life plan and ideal. We can imagine what Hu Xiangjuan said to Lu Zhouan back then."

"It is mentioned in the case file that the neighbors of the Hu family said that Hu Xiangjuan lost her husband when she was young, and that Lu Zhou'an was brought up by her and Hu You. It can be said that the Hu family's father and daughter devoted all their efforts to Lu Zhou'an. Hua Chongdao: "Also, Hu Xiangjuan only went to elementary school, has a low level of education, and is aggressive by nature. She often quarrels with others because of trivial matters. If she is reasonable, she will not forgive others, and if she is unreasonable, she will act violently."

"It's easy to restore the situation back then." Liu Zhiqin said: "For Hu Xiangjuan, Lu Zhou'an's life was given by her, and on the other hand, Lu Zhou'an was her reliance and pride. Hu You got it She was busy with family and work, and she couldn't take care of her, so she asked Lu Zhouan to resign and go home. From her point of view, there are two reasons: First, Lu Zhouan's salary in the arsenal is not high , and very busy, working overtime is commonplace, after a month of busy work, her income may not be as good as the money she makes from selling stewed vegetables; second, Lu Zhouan is her son, she has paid so much for Lu Zhouan, Lu Zhouan Is there any reason not to go home to take care of the sick grandfather? A family, shouldn’t they support each other? The previous generation... no, not only the previous generation, even our generation, there are few people who share the relationship between the individual and the family. Separated. In Hu Xiangjuan's view, Lu Zhou'an must resign and go home, otherwise she will be unfilial and heartless. She put a lot of pressure on Lu Zhou'an. According to her temperament, quarrels, persecution, and even bitter tricks are inevitable. Lu Zhouan had no choice but to give up his job, and went home to live with his stupid grandfather and domineering mother. Gradually, he found that life was hopeless. hands."

Hua Chong folded his arms, "Conflicts between relatives usually accumulate over time and gradually develop to the point of being out of control. Lu Zhou'an's heart was greatly dissatisfied, and Hu Xiangjuan, who forced him to go home, became his enemy. They are the chief culprits, they ruined his future. His attack on them was either planned for a long time or impulsive, and it was always a projection of hatred."

"The root cause of his crime is that he can't accept that his life has been messed up." Liu Zhiqin continued: "This kind of person is very extreme, selfish, and not good at communicating. , Once it broke out, it caused a murder case. Of course, his development of this character is likely to be related to Hu Xiangjuan's education and the family situation of Hu's family. Hu Xiangjuan kidnapped him in the name of love, but he couldn't break free, and finally chose a Kill him. After killing Hu You and Hu Xiangjuan, he must have felt a pleasure he had never experienced before. But the "good times" didn't last long, and he found that his life was even worse than before. He had to hide all the way and hide his name Not to mention re-becoming a scientific researcher in the arsenal, it is impossible to find another job that cannot be more ordinary. At this point, his life is completely ruined."

"The gap between reality and ideals changed him from a normal person to a murderer of his relatives within two years." Hua Chong said in a deep voice, "Then the longer and more hopeless 13 years..."

Liu Zhiqin took a deep breath, "If he is still alive, he has most likely become an extremely paranoid and unreasonable murderer."

Hua Chong stood up and took a few steps, "In 13 years, enough hatred has eroded his mind. He is farther and farther away from the ideal of the year, and he will not be able to become the person he wanted to be when he was young. Who is to blame? He will blame himself and only blame others. When he was 27 years old, his hatred was still very simple. Hu You and Hu Xiangjuan hindered him, and he wanted to kill them. Now he is 40 years old, but he lives longer than when he was 27 years old It's not as good as the hatred has completely swelled, what he hates is no longer Hu You and Hu Xiangjuan, but..."

"It's an old man like Hu You." Liu Zhiqin said coldly: "People with anti-social personality will transfer their suffering to irrelevant people. Lu Zhou'an has experienced the pain of killing and revenge. He is eager to have this kind of pleasure again, and he will even tell himself——I am doing good, I am helping those young people who are dragged down by the old! I have nothing to look forward to in my life, but People like me, you still have help!"

Hua Chong turned around, "He hates the elderly, especially the elderly who cannot take care of themselves. As for the elderly who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and have reached the advanced stage, he would like to kill them quickly. For example, the same as Hu You Wang Zhangbing!"

Liu Zhiqin slowed down, his gaze softened, "Flower Team, if the conversation we had just now was heard by others..."

"We might be considered lunatics." Hua Chong picked up the water glass and drank the completely cold tea in one gulp—as if deliberately pouring cold water on himself.

"It's really unconstrained." Liu Zhiqin smiled, "If another person stood here and speculated and analyzed with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to him halfway through."

"For someone else, I'd rather think about it myself." Hua Chong said nonchalantly, "Only you can understand."

The corners of Liu Zhiqin's eyes twitched slightly, his heart was scratched by Hua Chong's words.

"Why this expression?" Hua Chong asked.

"It's nothing." Liu Zhiqin brought the topic back on track, "The case of the Accumulated Case Team really provided us with an unusual way of thinking. In fact, even if the inference we made just now was completely wrong - Lu Zhou'an didn't kill Hu You, Hu Xiangjuan's murderer has already died, but Wang Zhangbing's case has an extra line."

"That's right. Apart from his family members, those who wish Wang Zhangbing to die are also those who have similar experiences to Lu Zhou'an." Hua Chong said, "One of 'his' family members also suffered from Alzheimer's disease. For his family, 'he' gave up his career and even his life. 'He' may have killed his family, maybe he didn't. His selfish and cowardly nature makes it impossible for 'he' to blame himself, but to attribute his failure and downfall to Because of the family members who are sick, they are gradually trapped in a psychological cycle, and the hatred for the family members gradually expands, and is transferred to Alzheimer's disease and the elderly who suffer from this disease. Killing these innocent people can give 'him' Take the thrill of vengeance.”

"I still have a question." Liu Zhiqin said, "If it's just hatred, why did the murderer blame the victim's family? Wang Xiaoning's belt was lost in a strange way. If the belt was stolen by the murderer, the purpose must be It is to put the blame on Wang Xiaoning, and disturb the entire Wang family. Why does 'he' insist on doing this? Judging from the behavior of 'he' at the scene, 'he' is a thoughtful person, so 'he' should understand, Stealing the belt probably exposed him."

"Perhaps the murderer's purpose is not only to kill the sick old man." Hua Chong thought for a while, "It's also the purpose of 'his' to disturb and destroy a seemingly harmonious family? You just said that the thought is meticulous, which is quite in line with Lu Zhouan character traits."

"Then do we need to bring the Hefu Town case over to investigate together?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Hua Chong pondered for a few seconds, "That's not necessary. And I always feel, um..."

Liu Zhiqin was puzzled, "What do you think?"

Hua Chong hesitated for a while, "Xiao Chengxin's behavior is a bit strange."

"You doubt him?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "Maybe I'm overly sensitive. I feel that he seems to be more active recently than in the past. If it was before, he would definitely not take the initiative to come to me to discuss the case. He directly threw the Luoguan Village case to me. , but this, he just wanted to discuss it with me. It's a little unusual."

Liu Zhiqin's eyes gradually darkened, "At this juncture, the accumulated cases from 13 years ago have been uncovered. If he really has some purpose, then our previous assumptions and analysis are tantamount to being led by the nose by him."

Hua Chong's face also sank, "Don't be influenced by me, maybe..."

"You can't be careless about any small matter now." Liu Zhiqin said: "I'll check him in detail."

Hua Chong rubbed his temples, and said in a low voice, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

??

At night, the trace inspection department worked overtime and finally completed the modeling of the remaining footprints in the stairs.

Li Xun sent the report himself, and it was obvious that he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Hua Chong didn't explain to him, his eyes fell on the conclusion of one of the groups.

"Male, between 1 and 71 meters tall, weighing around 1 kilograms, around 76 years old, no more than 62 years old."

Li Xun noticed the change in Hua Chong's expression, and asked in surprise, "Hua Dui, what's wrong?"

The author has something to say

Today's chapter is relatively short. Do you think Xiao Chengxin is the one with the problem?

Hua Chong (thought to himself): Liu Zhiqin's legs look a little nice.

Liu Zhiqin patted his legs: Come and sit down.

Hua Chong: ...
