heart poison

At nightfall, the serious crime team met again.

"On January 1th, Tang Su was at home on vacation." Yuan Hao said: "She lived alone in the Qishanju Villa Area in Mingluo District. We checked the surveillance and found that she left home at 4 pm on January 1th, dressed properly It was the clothes when the body was found. The last time she appeared on surveillance was at 4:3 p.m. Her colleagues and acquaintances did not find anyone acting suspiciously. But everyone is aware of the monitoring on Daoqiao Road, and if they can’t take pictures, it doesn’t mean they didn’t go.”

Qu Zhi continued: "Through the investigation, we learned that Tang Su has a gentle personality and has never had any enemies in Oulai. The only person who has a bad relationship with her is a person named 'Xiao Lu'."

Hua Chong nodded, "Well, I've seen it before."

"Before I came back, I heard that you found Xiao Lu's alibi?" Qu Zhi said.

"Yes, she was on vacation in Xishuangbanna at the time and had no time to commit the crime."

"What about buying a murderer?"

"In the afternoon, I preliminarily screened her online footprints and communication records." Liu Zhiqin said: "There is no abnormality, and the possibility of buying murder can be basically ruled out."

Qu Zhi sighed, "This case is pending."

"Xu Yujiao's case is even more pending." Zhang Mao said: "Just now I went to interrogate Qiu Dakui and asked him where he usually kept tools such as hammers. He said they were in the wooden box outside the window. I went to see, and the wooden box was indeed Outside the window, there was a mess of tools inside."

"Outside the window of the bungalow?" Hua Chong recalled the structure of the Qiu family's bungalow, "Wouldn't it be possible for everyone passing by to pick up and put down the hammer?"

Zhang Mao said, "That's right! He said that the box has been outside for several years."

Hua Chong supported his forehead, and for a while, doubts about the two cases of Xu Yujiao and Tang Su collided in his mind.Suddenly, a detail that was let go due to embarrassment in the afternoon resurfaced.

His eyes tightened, and he suddenly looked at Liu Zhiqin.

The meeting ended, the team members dispersed, Qu Zhi did not leave, and stopped Hua Chong to continue discussing the suspicious points of the two cases.Liu Zhiqin looked at the two of them, and immediately got up and went out.Hua Chong thought he was gone, but soon saw him return to the conference room with a plastic bag from a nearby convenience store in his hand.

Qu Zhi was about to be driven mad by a series of "hammer murders", and complained to Hua Chong that when he went home to take a nap, he dreamed that the back of his head had been opened.Liu Zhiqin handed over the pocket, and the two picked out their favorite drinks inside.Qu Zhi took the iced black tea, Hua Chong opened a bottle of soda, and the remaining bottle of mineral water belonged to Liu Zhiqin himself.

Qu Zhi drank most of the bottle of iced black tea, calmed down a little, wiped his face and planned to go back to the serious crime team office, and smiled wearily at Liu Zhiqin: "Thank you, brother Xiaoliu."

Liu Zhiqin raised his hand, "It's okay."

After Qu Zhi left, Hua Chong tidied up the documents on the table and said, "Why did you leave and come back?"

Liu Zhiqin put down the half-drinked mineral water, and pulled out an armchair, "Don't you have something to tell me?"

Hua Chong looked up, "Huh?"

"You glanced at me during the meeting, and that glance was a bit special." Liu Zhiqin sat down, "I guess you might have something important to tell me, so you didn't leave."

Hua Chong was slightly startled.He did have something to tell Liu Zhiqin, but he didn't expect the other party to be so sensitive.

Liu Zhiqin played with the bottle cap and said with a light smile, "Tell me that waiting is not in vain."

He added: "Otherwise it would be embarrassing."

Hua Chong also pulled out the armchair and sat down, one person away from Liu Zhiqin.

"We can't be long-lost brothers, right?" Hua Chong joked, "Why do you know that I want to talk to you just by looking at you?"

Liu Zhiqin said: "I have confirmed the look in the eyes, it is the person who wants to chat."

Hua Chong laughed twice, his expression gradually calmed down, "It's all right, stop joking, I thought of something during the meeting."

"En." Liu Zhiqin responded appropriately.

"You said you didn't think Xiao Lu was the murderer from the beginning."

"Yes, because you have worked in the front line of criminal investigation for many years and have seen all kinds of cases. I trust your instinct."

Speaking of this again, Hua Chong felt a little strange again, but instead of changing the subject like in the afternoon, he asked: "My intuition is that the two cases of Xu Yujiao and Tang Su are very likely to be related, and the murderer may be It's the same person."

"Correct."

"You trust my intuition, that's why you think Xiao Lu is not the murderer. Although Xu Kan can't be sure whether Tang Su was violated, he can be sure that the murderer committed rape to Xu Yujiao." Hua Chong said: "Xiao Lu is a murderer." A woman cannot rape a corpse."

Liu Zhiqin frowned suddenly, as if thinking of something.

"You thought about it too, didn't you?" Hua Chong asked.

After a while, Liu Zhiqin said in a deep voice: "The person who killed Xu Yujiao may not be a woman."

"Yes! From the very beginning, our thinking was limited by the autopsy report." Hua Chong tapped the table, "Xu Yujiao's vagina contained lubricating oil components of condoms. Essence spots. But must it be 'his' genitals wearing a condom?"

Yoo Ji Chin said, "'He' might be misleading us."

Hua Chong's eyes were sharp, "Yes. 'He' wants us to think that 'he' is a man."

After receiving the call, Xu Kan hurried over from the forensic department. After listening to Hua Chong's analysis, he said after a long time: "I know what happened to the weird feeling I noticed during the autopsy."

"Strange feeling?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

"Flower team, do you remember that I told you that the murderer was very gentle when he violated Xu Yujiao?" Xu Kan said, "'He' smashed Xu Yujiao's leg bones with a hammer, then cut off the flesh with a knife, and dug up Xu Yujiao's body. The eyes and ears are cruel, but when they violate Xu Yujiao, their attitude is completely different."

"Remember, we said at the time that this murderer is not normal."

"'He' is not gentle." Xu Kan said: "It's perfunctory! The purpose of 'he' is not to rape a corpse at all, but to leave condom lubricant in Xu Yujiao's vagina, making us mistaken for 'he' He is a cautious man who avoids leaving semen spots by wearing a condom!"

Hua Chong rubbed his brows, "Then what violated Xu Yujiao at that time may be some kind of tool in the hands of the murderer. With this kind of tool, coupled with condoms, the murderer, regardless of gender, can create the illusion of raping a corpse."

Xu Kan shook his head in frustration, "Sorry, I was negligent."

Hua Chong patted him on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself. At least so far, in Xu Yujiao's case, we haven't found a female suspect with a motive. This negligence has not caused serious consequences."

After Xu Kan left, Liu Zhiqin said, "I suddenly feel enlightened."

"The revolution hasn't succeeded yet." Hua Chong smiled wryly, "Brother Xiaoliu, don't drift away."

"Where is it, you are not floating, how can I float?"

"Why am I floating? I have always been calm."

"What I mean is that I am taller and heavier than you. According to the laws of physics, even if you want to float, you must float first."

Hua Chong's eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked at Liu Zhiqin from head to toe, "You're making fun of me, I'm not as tall as you."

"Injustice."

"Calling 'injustice' is worse than saying 'Wow'."

After the words were out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong, Hua Chong cast a glance at Qin, "I'm just joking."

Liu Zhiqin was not angry, "I know."

After chatting for a while, the topic came back to the topic, Liu Zhiqin said: "After the investigation, the murderer may be a man, or a woman who deliberately misled us. But my personal opinion is that the murderer is more likely to be a woman."

Hua Chong folded his hands thoughtfully.

"The investigation of Tang Su's interpersonal relationship has not yet been completed, and it is impossible to confirm that she has not offended anyone. But Xu Yujiao's investigation has been relatively thorough. She has never had any conflicts with anyone, although she is a manager with a high position in Xinluo Bank. , but the sense of existence is very low." Liu Zhiqin said: "The murderer not only killed her, but also severely humiliated the corpse. It should be hated to the extreme. Xu Yujiao, a rich girl who never causes trouble and is well-educated, will be punished for what she does. Hate like this? We have already ruled out many possibilities, and I can't think of any other possibilities except 'jealousy'."

"The same sex is more likely to be jealous of the same sex." Hua Chong said.

"Yes, in this case, if the victim is a man, then I tend to believe that the murderer is also a man." Liu Zhiqin said: "Under normal circumstances, the probability of jealousy between the same sex is much higher than that between the opposite sex. A poor man A down-and-out man generally does not envy a beautiful and wealthy woman. He is often jealous of a successful man who is his age, rich in money, and has a good relationship with the opposite sex. In the same way, a woman who is struggling at the bottom of society is also She seldom envies a rich man, and her eyes will fall on women of the same age who she is familiar with. Xiao Lu is a ready-made example."

Hua Chong half propped his chin, "According to this line of thinking, in Tang Su's case, Xiao Lu has very sufficient motives. But her alibi is also very sufficient. Do you remember what she said before she left?"

"Remember. She said that the person who killed Tang Su must be more jealous of Tang Su than her."

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, and with the other words Xiao Lu said, the more I think about it, the more I think it's a clue worth pursuing."

Hua Chong slowed down his speech, probably because he was exhausted, and his voice seemed a little hoarse, "Xiao Lu claimed to be jealous of Tang Su, but she would never kill Tang Su, because she had obtained the life she wanted through years of struggle-although this Life is far from being comparable to that of Tang Su. She said that once she killed Tang Su, her life would be ruined, because the good days were hard to come by, so she cherished them all the more. In the end she mentioned that Tang Su was a 'silly white sweet', and thought that The murderer must be more jealous of Tang Su than her. Brother Xiaoliu, have you thought of anything?"

Liu Zhiqin bowed his head and remained silent.

Hua Chong sat on the side, not in a hurry to continue.

"Assume that the murderer does have the same jealousy as Xiao Lu." Liu Zhiqin said cautiously, "Using Xiao Lu as a reference, 'he' is not worried about being caught after committing the crime... No, 'he' must be worried, otherwise' He's not going to be extremely careful to protect himself."

"En." Hua Chong nodded.

"Worry or not should be relative." Liu Zhiqin corrected: "'He' is also worried about being caught, but not as worried as Xiao Lu. The reason is...Xiao Lu has already fought for the life she wants, but 'He' didn't, 'he' was still stuck in the mud, maybe by chance, maybe..."

"It may also be because of family." Hua Chong said.
