heart poison

The Los Angeles City Bureau cooperated with the police force of Hefu Township to unearth a skeleton in the valley south of Heyong Mountain that Guo Shu mentioned.

The winter rain in the mountains is not heavy, but it falls on the face like ice.Zhang Mao was wearing a raincoat, covered in mud and water, and his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion.He wiped his face, looked at the trace inspection team members sorting out the bones, and said in a low voice, "This Guo Shu is really a fucking inhuman. He even killed his own brother for revenge!"

"What kind of revenge is he taking? What kind of revenge does Hu You and Hu Xiangjuan have against him? They let him take care of him? Are they dragging him down?" Xiao Chengxin held up an umbrella and threw the towel to Zhang Mao, "He is a lunatic. Take out your troubles on irrelevant people. There was no such thing as "revenge on society" 13 years ago, right? In my opinion, he is revenge on society. One revenge is not counted, but the second and third times. If we hadn’t caught him in time this time, he could have killed more people. Listen to what he said to the flower team—can you sentence me to death if you kill five? If I can’t, I can kill a few more indivual!"

Zhang Trade wiped off the water from his face and sighed, "I'm aggrieved."

"Why are you frustrated?"

"I feel aggrieved for Lu Zhou'an." Zhang Mao stared at the bones being sorted out and transferred, "Lu Zhou'an is really unlucky. He lost such a good job. He came back to take care of the elderly with peace of mind, but made friends carelessly. Not to mention killing, grandpa and mother were also strangled to death. After death, they were regarded as murderers by the whole town, lying here alone, being wronged for 13 years, and even friends gradually believed that he did kill people. If he knew all this , I don’t know how sad it is.”

Xiao Chengxin was silent for a moment, "He won't know."

"Ok?"

"Because when a person dies, everything is empty. When he dies, everything is over. If he dies normally, he will be buried in the ground. If he dies abnormally, we will investigate and give him justice."

Zhang Mao turned around and said hesitantly, "Captain Xiao, what you said..."

Xiao Chengxin looked calm, "What?"

"That's what I thought," Zhang Trade wanted to grab his hair, but he only scratched the hood of his raincoat with his hand. "That's not your style."

"What style should I be?" Xiao Cheng asked sincerely.

Zhang Mao said in his heart, that is of course the style of your accumulated crime team, what you said is a bit like our serious crime team.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Chengxin probingly.

At this time, the trace inspection department finished sorting out the bones, and Li Xun shouted with a dark face: "Let's go! Get in the car, damn, I'm soaked!"

??

Guo Shu fully explained the details of the crime. Throughout the interrogation process, his mood was very stable, and Hua Chong answered whatever he asked.

Suspects who cooperate like him are very rare. Occasionally there is one, also in order to gain the favor of the criminal police who handle the case, and go to court in the future to seek a light sentence.

Guo Shu's cooperation has absolutely nothing to do with gaining favor, the more he cooperates, the more Hua Chong sees the dying spirit in him.

In the current popular words, it is called "life without love".

"Living doesn't mean much to him anymore." When the case became clear, Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin finally got off work on time, and they were shopping for daily necessities and evening ingredients at the supermarket near Huajing Community.Hua Chong supported the cart, picked up a box of steel wool balls for washing pots, and looked at it, "His parents both died of Alzheimer's disease, and he believed that he would also suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Death itself is not terrible, terrible It is the process of gradually becoming stupid, unable to control his body, and losing dignity. He wants to die before he gets sick, and the death penalty is actually not a punishment for him, but a relief, and it can even be said to be a reward."

"In the last case, we said that Shen Nonghan had anti-social personality. In fact, compared with Guo Shu, Shen Nonghan was far behind, and Guo Shu's behavior was typical anti-social." Liu Zhiqin said: "13 years ago Killing the Hu family's father and daughter was to avenge the vengeance that did not exist. Now killing innocent people indiscriminately, on the one hand, is to vent anger, and on the other hand, it is to relieve the panic in his heart. He is not worried about being caught at all. He caught it. His only regret is that he killed less and did not completely remove the planned target. This kind of lunatic is really rare. He should pay for his life by brutally killing five innocent people, but he regards death as a reward — Now that he is dead, he will not become like his parents in the future. Psychologically, we solved the case, but he became the winner."

Hua Chong put the steel wool balls back on the shelf, and picked up another kind of packaged steel wool balls, as if he was shopping around, "I heard Zhang Mao and the others discussing that they should be sentenced to life, and Guo Shu should be put in prison. Watching myself become an old man with dementia."

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "This is unrealistic."

"Yeah, it's just for fun." Hua Chong looked at the box containing the steel balls over and over again, "But there is a possibility that Guo Shu can't be a winner psychologically."

Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "You mean..."

"Leaving aside the incident 13 years ago, what is the reason why he killed again this year?" Hua Chong raised his eyes, "It was because he found himself 'ill'—often forgetting things, becoming slow in response, and poor in comprehension He is in a state of extreme fear, hates Alzheimer's disease, and is terrified of it. He thinks that if he dies of Alzheimer's disease in the future, it is better to die now. If he is a relatively normal person , he may choose to commit suicide, but he has an antisocial personality, and his thinking is completely different from that of ordinary people. He will not commit suicide, but will kill innocent people before he dies to "back up". "The police station also got the reward he wanted - death. He told me that if he hadn't gone home to take care of his parents back then, he would definitely be wearing a police uniform now, working hard for the criminal investigation detachment, maybe he was still a member of the serious crime team , because he got good grades in school, even better than Mr. Ke. The Criminal Investigation Detachment is his 'home', since he can't 'come back' as a policeman, it's not bad to 'come back' as a suspect."

Hua Chong paused, "It can only be said that the thinking of these serial killers with anti-social personality is completely different from that of normal people. But you think, the premise for Guo Shu to regard death as a reward is that he feels that something has appeared in him. The early reactions of Alzheimer's disease. But what if those reactions have nothing to do with Alzheimer's disease? He dare not go to check, he can only guess by himself. Many things are not bad at first, but the more you think about it, the worse it gets, especially 'Sick', even if he is not sick, he will want to be sick. I have already arranged that he will be sent to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination soon."

"If the test results are all normal," Liu Zhiqin shook his head with a smile, "and he is facing the death penalty, with his personality, he will definitely collapse. The death penalty is the confession given to the victim, but the test result is the real answer given to him. punish."

Hua Chong nodded, "That's right. And I guess, his examination results will show that everything is normal."

"Huh?" Liu Zhiqin thought for a while, "You want to make a fuss about his medical report?"

Hua Chong rolled his eyes, "It can be done, but it's not necessary. In the past, I used psychology to deal with suspects because I needed key evidence. Now that Guo Shu has confessed everything, what kind of psychological warfare should I fight with him? I just said The test results are likely to show that everything is normal, because after contacting him, I don’t think there is any problem with his reaction and comprehension ability. And he is only 40 years old this year, although people in their 40s may also suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, But after all, they are a minority. His so-called forgetfulness and dullness are probably just the product of continuous depression and anxiety, and have nothing to do with Alzheimer's disease. Also, killing Wang Zhangbing and Liang Ping requires far more planning than killing Lu The layout of Zhou'an's family is complicated, and preliminary observation and intelligence collection are also necessary. After this series of preparations, how does he seem to be affected by Alzheimer's disease? I see, except for his mental health, he is everywhere. healthy."

"I hope so. It seems that only the conclusion of 'health' can really punish him." Liu Zhiqin breathed a sigh of relief, "Flower Team, actually I don't really want you to engage in psychological warfare with the suspect."

Hua Chong raised an eyebrow, "Because it's despicable?"

"How could it be?" Liu Zhiqin said softly, "You will be very tired that way."

Hua Chong's eyelashes twitched a few times, then turned to look at the shelf, holding a box containing steel wool balls in one hand, and said calmly, "There is no such thing as tiredness at work."

Not to mention such a job related to death and sin.

If the evidence is insufficient and the suspect refuses to plead guilty, it will be difficult to solve the case unless he is psychologically defeated.

"I don't want you to be so tired." Liu Zhiqin moved away the trolley that was in the way, stood beside Hua Chong, and also took down a box of steel balls, "Last time you finished the trial of Shan Nonghan, your face was pale, and you let it go for a long time .And it was the same when I faced Zou Ming last time. My heart hurts."

Hua Chong's heart was scratched, and the roots of his ears felt slightly hot.

"So I have to work harder." Liu Zhiqin said again.

Hua Chong turned his head to look at him, and heard him say, "If I find all the key evidence, you won't have to worry about fighting the murderer psychologically."

"Tsk, then I retired early and rested at home?"

"Who said you can rest at home?"

Hua Chong immediately understood what Liu Zhiqin was referring to, couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and gave him a light elbow, "Have a good chat, you can talk about that too."

Liu Zhiqin showed an innocent expression, "Where am I talking about it? Didn't I have a good chat with you just now?"

Hua Chong dismantled it bluntly, "Pretend to be innocent, brother Xiaoliu."

"I do not have."

"...too lazy to talk to you!"

Liu Zhiqin laughed and changed the subject, "You've been looking at steel wool balls, do you want to buy them?"

"Yeah." Hua Chong said while comparing: "I don't know which one is easy to use, and I haven't bought this kind of thing before. There is also that kind of soft sponge brush. I will pick a box later."

"Never bought it? Where did the steel wool ball come from?" Liu Zhiqin was curious.

"It's a gift, it's not a gift from the mall for an event, or it's a gift from the bureau." Hua Chong didn't care, "The tableware, chopsticks and cups are also basically given away, the quality is average, not bad, anyway, I used to be alone , make do with it."

Liu Zhiqin's chest felt weak, "Can't we make do with it now?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Hua Chong said, "One person can do just fine, but two people are just going to have a good time."

Liu Zhiqin's eyes fell on the steel ball in Hua Chong's hand, and the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.

Because there are two people, so we have to live in earnest.

Because you have to go through life seriously, you can't just buy a small gadget like a steel wool ball, you have to pick and choose carefully, and it is absolutely unambiguous.

"Hey, which one is easier to use?" Hua Chong was intimidatingly competent when handling cases, but now he hesitated and worried about which steel wool ball to buy.

"This kind." Liu Zhiqin took one of the boxes and hung the other back on the shelf.

"Are you sure?" Hua Chong asked.

"Sure, this brush is clean and won't hurt the pot."

"By the way, there is still a pot." Hua Chong said, "I want to buy a better pot."

Liu Zhiqin smiled, "The pot we are using now is also a gift?"

"That's not true." Hua Chong pushed the trolley forward, "I bought the pot myself."

"Then do you want to change?"

"I just bought one without looking at it carefully." Hua Chong said: "There are so many pots, I don't know which one is good, and which one is cost-effective. It took a while, so I took one and left."

"Now you don't think it takes time to pick pots?" Liu Zhiqin thought, the time you spent picking out steel wool balls just now is probably more than the time you spent buying pots before.

"Didn't everyone say that it's Zhengerba's time now?" Hua Chong asked without answering.

In the front is the special area for pots and pans, where pots of various functions and styles are displayed in a dazzling array.

Hua Chong remembered that he was dizzy when staring at those shiny kitchen utensils in the past, and he didn't understand why some people would spend so much time choosing, but now he has the leisurely mood of serious comparison.

It seems that there is one more person in life, and it is not a bad thing to "waste" time on picking pots.

Liu Zhiqin suddenly stretched out his hand and hooked the wide pocket on Hua Chong's coat, "Flower team."

His clothes got caught, Hua Chong had to stop, and was about to say, "What are you pulling me for, I'm going to buy a pot", when he lowered his eyes, he saw Liu Zhiqin hooking his pocket with his index finger.This action was a little childish, so that his brain twitched, and he chose a word that was in tune with childishness, "Brother Xiaoliu, are you naughty?"

"Naughty?" Liu Zhiqin couldn't help but didn't let go. Instead, he took Hua Chong to him and said softly, "I just found out today that you care about the sense of ritual."

The busiest part of the supermarket was the fresh food section, and the most deserted one was the pots and pans section, so although the two were very close, they didn't attract too many people's attention.

"Living with you, can we do without a sense of ritual?" Hua Chong's tone was still calm, but his eyes were clearly burning.

It was very rare for Liu Zhiqin not to react immediately.

Why live with yourself, you must have a sense of ritual.

Until he heard Hua Chong say: "You are the person I like, and I am happy to create a sense of ritual for you."
