heart poison

"Maybe not necessarily close relatives?" Liu Zhiqin was not so sure.

In fact, he also felt that something was not right.Hua Chong's analysis was correct. Lin Xiaofei's death would make people who knew the inside hate those who participated in cyber violence, but the murder and revenge went to the extreme, and the murderer took the extreme of extremes, not only killing people, but also digging up the hearts of the dead, and decomposed the body of one of them.This is a very strong hatred, and it is hard to imagine who, other than close relatives, would have such a great hatred.

He also felt strange about the other two points.At the beginning, he went to the flower, bird and fish pet market with Hua Chong, and saw "Wang Chuang" holding his second baby to the seller to see a doctor. This behavior at least shows that "Wang Chuang" is not a cold-blooded animal abuser.If "Wang Chuang" didn't care about Erwa's life and death at all, and bought Erwa just to deal with the heart of the deceased, why did he need to treat Erwa?In addition, Yin Chao has repeatedly released cat and dog abuse videos on the live broadcast platform. The murderer chose his tricycle to transport Zheng Qi's body, which may have a certain punitive nature.These two points conflict with "Wang Chuang" leaving the second child at home to fend for himself.

Hua Chong held his forehead and shook it vigorously, "Forget it, many criminal cases cannot be analyzed logically. Time is limited, so we have to grasp the key point. Brother Xiaoliu, please work harder and give me the list as soon as possible. Listed, 'Wang Chuang' has disappeared now, I am worried that he went to other provinces and cities to commit crimes. Tomorrow morning I will ask Team Chen for instructions and report the case to the provincial department for cooperation. But there is a premise, that is, we must be sure, Zheng Qi and He Yitao were indeed the main participants in the cyber violence five years ago."

"Before dawn, I will give you the list!"

The serious crime team was brightly lit, and not only Liu Zhiqin was busy.Hua Chong is in control of multiple lines of investigation and has a splitting headache.

Before dawn, Liu Zhiqin stood up from his desk with a stern look, his voice was hoarse and deep because he stayed up all night, "Flower Team."

Hua Chong just came back from the inquiry room, exhausted, he couldn't react for a moment when he heard his voice, and raised his head in a daze: "Huh?"

"I found 21 people who seriously abused Lin Xiaofei and gave real information about 'human flesh' Lin Xiaofei." Liu Zhiqin held a USB flash drive in his hand, "Zheng Qi and He Yitao happen to be among these people!"

On the eve of dawn, it was the sleepiest moment for those who stayed up all night, but the members of the serious crime team were cheered up.Liu Zhiqin's discovery established a clear connection between the two victims, and the hypothesis became a reality, so there is no need to cast a wide net in subsequent investigations.

In the criminal investigation detachment captain's office, Chen Zheng frowned deeply as he looked at the report Hua Chong handed over.

"Zheng Qi is the creator of the first 'Color Palette' - 'The Void'." After Hua Chong briefly stated the incident of cyber violence against Lin Xiaofei, Liu Zhiqin said: "Before this incident, he I used this vest to publish a lot of remarks attacking well-known authors on Beacon. Whoever became popular would fabricate black material, such as plagiarism, playing with fans, and promiscuity. Words and deeds on social networking sites are consistent. I have contacted his family with Flower Team, and his behavior online is largely caused by excessive family pressure."

Chen Zheng sighed, "A student who was admitted to a key university with high scores has such bad conduct."

"Knowledge does not represent morality, and the Internet amplifies all negative emotions." Hua Chong said.

"Zheng Qi initially participated in the online violence against Hao Lang of E. He couldn't bear the sudden popularity of Hao Lang of E, and posted many posts insulting Hao Lang of E. Later, the two sides saw each other. He hated it so much that he made a "color palette" to spread rumors that E Zhihao copied Fengfei 78. The so-called "color palette" is actually very easy to make. The content of the [-]-character novel is soft sci-fi. It is not difficult to intercept a few similar descriptions. After the interception, splicing and painting color blocks, the first impression is that "The Return of the Dark Star" is indeed plagiarized from "The Shining Place of the Eternal Night" ". When I checked this matter, I found that he had done similar things before, slandering a male author with excellent female popularity for plagiarism, and the method was to make a "color palette". The male author is a newcomer. Many, but the 'combat power' is not strong. Zheng Qi accused him of plagiarizing the works of a 'Great God' author. When 'Palette' first came out, the situation was almost one-sided. The male author was almost scolded by the fans of 'Great God' Seal the pen. Later, the author of the 'Great God' personally said that the two novels are completely different, and there is no plagiarism, so this matter can be considered resolved."

Like Hua Chong, Chen Zheng does not read online novels, and this is the first time he has heard of such a thing as a "color palette". When he clicked on it, he couldn't understand, "What the hell is this? The 'cabin' is all plagiarism? I Ten of the ten science fiction novels I have read have written about "cabin". Even Asimov dare not say that "cabin" is his own original creation. And this "morning the next day"... These sentences are all It is a very common term, and there is no logical connection at first sight. Would anyone believe this kind of thing that has no context and full-text structure as a support?"

"A lot of people are just joining in the fun, and a large part of them don't care whether Haolang E is plagiarizing, they just want to 'kill' Haolang E. After all, for an author, plagiarism is a death penalty. People who hate Haolang E want to Sentence him to death. And there are too many authors who have been victimized by plagiarism in recent years. They have no way to defend their rights and become the weaker party. Once plagiarism occurs, the vast majority of netizens will side with the plagiarized.” Hua Chong Said: "The 'color palette' made by Zheng Qi had a very bad influence on E Zhihao Lang. If it weren't for a large number of fans who defended him to help him clear the charge of plagiarism, he might have disappeared. From this point Speaking of which, Haolang of E is also a victim of cyber violence, it is easy to spread rumors and difficult to refute them, and nowadays people often say on the Internet——Haolang of E? Do you also like the copied book?"

Chen Zheng smiled wryly: "I am deeply touched by this. The author is afraid of being framed for plagiarism, just like us policemen are afraid of being framed for beating the masses. If you are cleared up, there will still be people who will scold you persistently. If you can't clear it up, you will be completely finished. I just became a policeman. At that time, I met a gangster... Forget about these things, I will talk about it later. You just said that Zheng Qi spread rumors about Haolang of E, which doesn’t make sense. Didn’t we find out that Zheng Qi likes Haolang of E? On the day he was killed, he was still watching the TV series of Haolang of E."

"I used to think so too." Hua Chong lowered the corners of his lips helplessly, "I also discussed with Zhang Mao that this Zheng Qi might be a fan of Haolang of E. Until I saw the information that Brother Xiaoliu found out. fact."

"Zheng Qi is probably just a brainless fan of cyber violence. He can spread rumors about E Zhihao, and he can also give Fengfei 78 a hat." Liu Zhiqin said: "After the plagiarism incident was reversed, E Zhihao's team contacted Threatened to sue him for damaging the reputation of Haolang E, and asked him to shift the front to create momentum for 'Fengfei 78 plagiarized Haolang E'."

"This..." Chen Zheng slapped the table, "This is fucking unbelievable!"

"But something unimaginable did happen, and I can only apply that old saying—people's hearts are harder to look at than the sun." Liu Zhiqin went on to say: "In this whole incident, Haolang of E was the first victim of cyber violence. Victim. But he has his own team, a large number of fans, and is on the rise. I guess, after the reversal of the plagiarism incident, his team may want to take advantage of the opportunity to hype. How to do it, I am here for the time being We haven't had time to thoroughly investigate, what is known is that they have taken a fancy to Zheng Qi's ability to "beast" on the Internet, after all, "The Void" has hacked a large number of authors, and the results are not bad."

Liu Zhiqin clicked on his laptop as he spoke, "There is a deal of 3000 yuan between them, and the condition is that Zheng Qi will use a new account to guide public opinion and identify Fengfei 78 as plagiarism. Netizens call this behavior 'with rhythm. '. After the matter is over, the new account will be discontinued."

"Just 3000 yuan?" Chen Zheng was dumbfounded.

"At that time, Zheng Qi was just a high school student, his parents were dual-employed, and his family background was very average. It can even be said that their family's living standard was below the average level of the city. His parents must have spent a lot of money on him because they hoped that their son would become a success." Hua Chong said: "3000 yuan is already an astronomical figure for him. Besides, cursing people and spreading rumors online is his greatest pleasure, and it is the only way for him to vent his pressure. Now cursing people can get money, such a 'good' thing , why not do it?"

"Fuck!" Chen Zheng was so angry that he almost broke the water glass.

"According to the information I captured, Zheng Qi is the one who scolds the most vigorously among the 21 people. He does have the talent to stir up netizens, and many passers-by are led astray by him." Liu Zhiqin said: "Several Fengfei 78's He also released the real information, but it was all instigated by E's Haolang team."

"Wait." Chen Zheng raised his hand, "Why did Haolang of E arrest Lin... Lin Xiaofei? The root reason why Lin Xiaofei was bombarded by netizens was that he was suspected of plagiarism. Did he plagiarize?"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head.

"No?" Chen Zheng stood up.

"I have already discussed this issue with Team Hua, and we can't come to a conclusion. Firstly, we are not professionals, and secondly, we don't have time to read through two novels. I'm afraid the only way to do this is to wait until the case is solved and invite a few people who are familiar with online novels." Professionals have come to appraise it." Liu Zhiqin said: "E's Haolang is holding on to Lin Xiaofei, if he is not sure that he is really plagiarized, or he is just using Lin Xiaofei as a tool and a springboard to hype himself."

"If it's the latter, then Lin Xiaofei is just one..." Chen Zheng thought for a long time before shaking his head.

Hua Chong said: "An unlucky person."

The office was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Five years have passed since the incident, and nearly five years have passed since Lin Xiaofei passed away. All the hustle and bustle has disappeared. The calm policemen have seen more things hidden by the surface than the hot-headed netizens.

If Lin Xiaofei really copied Haolang from E, as the creator, he should pay the price for what he did.

And if he didn't plagiarize, what happened to him can only be characterized as - he was very unlucky.

The world is impermanent, and most of them are helpless. The most embarrassing thing is that apart from the word "unlucky", there is no other word that is more suitable to describe the last journey of his life.

Misfortune from heaven is nothing more than this.

Chen Zheng took a breath, "What about He Yitao? What role did He Yitao play in this?"

"He Yitao is different from Zheng Qi, she is just an extreme fan." Liu Zhiqin clicked on a document, "From what she said at the time, E Zhihaolang is a belief in her difficult life, she does not allow her Her beliefs were slandered by others. Five years ago, she was not a small Internet celebrity, her career had not started, and she lived a life without a second meal. Reading E Zhihaolang's novels was her only sustenance. "Dark Star" In the turmoil after the end of "Return", she couldn't reward E Zhihaolang like other rich readers, and could only do her best to fight against those who insulted E Zhihaolang. Plagiarism reversed, Fengfei 78 became a target, From the perspective of crazy fans, it must be that Fengfei 78 copied E Zhihaolang."

"Do you live to plagiarize? Do you know why you got cancer? Because you plagiarized, God will punish you. Otherwise, why don't other authors get cancer, but you get cancer? Remember to inform me when you are cremated, and my mother will come and see See if your bones are black when burned..." Chen Zheng looked at what He Yitao said back then, cursing Fengfei 78 to die quickly, and said with emotion: "Her current fans must not imagine that their favorite 'fairy' is actually She used to be a villain with dirty words."

"Zheng Qi probably couldn't have imagined that he could make money by swearing, right?" Hua Chong said, "He even became a fan of E Zhihaolang later. 'Mr. In this microblog, he has scolded countless people, and among those who seldom praise him is E Zhihaolang. This kind of mentality needs to be studied, but the top priority is to solve the case."

After listening to the report, Chen Zheng immediately went to the provincial office.Two people on the list have been killed, the murderer is now missing, and the other 2 people who are not in Los Angeles are in danger of life.

Hua Chong has been spinning for dozens of hours, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast. He was about to drink a cup of strong coffee when Qu Zhi shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hua! Don't drink it!"

"What kind of flower? Call the flower team!" He was terrified by the yelling, holding a cup to watch the song, "Don't tell me you want to drink it, it's mine, go drink your own instant coffee."

"No, who wants to grab coffee from you." Qu Zhi said, "Brother Xiao Liu asked me to watch you."

"Brother Xiaoliu? Are you looking at me? If you don't look at me, I can fly?"

"He went to buy you breakfast. He said that before he came back, don't let you drink coffee and eat biscuits."

Only then did Hua Chong realize that there was a bag of biscuits on the table where the small meeting was held.

"This is the breakfast bought by Zhang Mao's ignorant thing. It's hard and unpalatable." Qu Zhi said: "Brother Xiaoliu said that you have been busy for a long time and you need something nutritious, so I went downstairs to buy it for you. .”

Hua Chong's chest felt warm, he put down his cup, and said with a smile, "This man."

"This man is so kind to you!" Qu Zhi chuckled, "Brother Xiaoliu was just transferred here, I thought he would put on airs, after all, he was airborne by the Ministry of Public Security, and he is a member of some kind of information warfare team, he sounds so tall Ah, he's much more imposing than the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Hua Chong slapped him on the back of the head, "I bought you for a supper? How much iced tea did I treat you to?"

The song value said "Ouch", "Supper is supper, and iced tea is iced tea. Can these two be mixed together? And flower team, you don't know how to repair Nokia."

"Dare someone parachuted from the Information Warfare Team of the Ministry of Public Security to the Serious Crimes Team of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Los Angeles City Bureau just to repair a Nokia for you?"

"Hey flower team, why are you so good at distorting other people's meanings?"

Hua Chong just said that the song is worth playing, but he didn't deliberately distort his meaning.Just hearing what Qu Zhi said, he couldn't help thinking of the murder case at hand.

Zheng Qi is undoubtedly a master at distorting other people's meanings, and he has played the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" method very well. It is no wonder that E Zhihaolang's team asked him to switch camps.The extremely inflammatory words he left on the Internet make people have to admit that words can indeed kill.

Kill others and eventually kill yourself.

Hua Chong thought of the video of Lin Xiaofei selling books at the subway station, and couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

This is not the first time he has seen such a scene.

A few years ago at a subway station in Los Angeles, he also saw a man selling books.The man looked older than Lin Xiaofei, holding a book he wrote, with a sign hanging around his neck, "Books at my own expense, 20 yuan a copy."

People passing by looked at the man like a performance artist, but few people stopped to buy a copy.Hua Chong remembered that book, judging from the title, it should be about traveling through the Anti-Japanese War.Because he had no interest, he didn't pay for it.

But he overhears a conversation between the man and a young girl.

The girl asked: "Uncle, why are you selling books here?"

"There are a lot of people here." The man smiled honestly: "I write books on the Internet, but I don't write well, and no one reads them. I want more people to read them, so I printed dozens of copies and sold them."

"But can it be sold in this way? Why don't you sell it online? Now many books are sold online. Before they start selling books, they can sell a lot of books by shouting on Weibo!"

"I don't understand." The man was a little shy, "I'm old, I don't understand that, I only know how to write books..."

Hua Chong came back to his senses and realized that maybe the man, like Lin Xiaofei, had a dream about writing.They probably had no other way, so they chose to sell books at subway stations.Such a person can't even yell online, so naturally he doesn't know how to manage his reputation.

When he heard that he plagiarized someone else's work, Lin Xiaofei, who had just finished chemotherapy, was completely stunned. He didn't know how to clarify—if he was indeed innocent; there were no fans to speak for him; there was no professional team to help him. ; The voices of the rare rational passers-by were drowned out by scolding.Has he ever thought about using the law to defend his rights?May or may not have thought about it.Even if he thought about it, he couldn't sue Zheng Qi and others.

Because he has no time and no money.

How helpless would he be?

How desperate will he be when he utters the phrase "I really didn't plagiarize"?

Hua Chong frowned, feeling very sad.He has been in the police force for several years, he has seen too much unknown darkness, and he knows that it is not easy for the little people at the bottom to live.Now I know that in the illusory cyberspace, the life of a small person can be so difficult.

He can't protect his work, and he can't protect his reputation.His "epitaph" reads: This is a despicable plagiarist.

In the video, Lin Xiaofei was ridiculed. Netizens called him stupid, called him greasy, and called him no talent.But if the accusation about Lin Xiaofei's plagiarism is not true, why is he being ridiculed so much because he is only selling books at subway stations?

In reality, when a man sells books at a subway station, at most he will get a few stares.

On the Internet, Lin Xiaofei sold books at the subway station, and what he got was insults all over the place.

It's just one more network cable, and some people don't want to be human anymore.

"Flower team." Liu Zhiqin came back, carrying several breakfast bags.

Qu Zhishun walked away with an egg pancake, and laughed happily: "Brother Xiao Liu is really a good man at home."

Hua Chong drove Qu Zhi away, opened his pocket and took a look, "Buy so much?"

"Not much, let's eat together." Liu Zhiqin took out a bowl of warm porridge with fish fillets and lean meat, "This is yours."

"Don't we all eat together? Why do I still have something specific?"

Liu Zhiqin smiled, didn't answer his words, took out two more tea eggs, put on gloves, peeled them off, and put them in a bowl, "These two eggs are also yours."

Hua Chong felt a little strange in his heart, "My breakfast is too nutritious."

"It should. You consume a lot, so make up more."

Hua Chong scooped up an egg, and his mind turned yellow: more tonic?So two eggs?

"What are you thinking?" Liu Zhiqin picked up a crispy meatloaf, dipped it in sauce and ate it.

Naturally Hua Chong couldn't tell the truth, he shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything."

"Let's eat then."

"Ah."

Hua Chong ate quickly, and after finishing the rush, he took a breath and went to get the cold coffee.Liu Zhiqin glanced at him, "Don't you want to take a break? You haven't slept all night."

"It's too late." Hua Chong drank most of the glass in one breath, "I'm planning to go to Zecheng right away. The clue of Lin Xiaofei's hometown must be caught. Although Team Chen has gone to the Provincial Department, since the case is still in our hands, We have to check."

Liu Zhiqin hesitated for a moment, got up and said: "Then wait for me, I will pack up and go with you."

"No need." Hua Chong quickly said, "You stay and go to sleep. If Team Chen needs your cooperation later, you can act immediately."

"I don't need anything for the time being. Even if there is, I can take care of it anytime with my notebook." Liu Zhiqin's voice is warm, but his attitude is a bit tough.

Hua Chong hesitated for a moment, "That's fine, but I have to drive on the road, and you sleep in the back seat."

"Let me drive."

"no!"

Zong Province is in the east of Han Province, and Lin Xiaofei's hometown, Zecheng, is not far from Luo City, and he can go there by car.

"You all rest." At this time, Xu Kan walked into the office of the serious crime team, "You have been busy all night, what should you do if you have an accident while driving fatigued? I will be your driver and a case consultant by the way. Both of you will go to the office. Go to bed in the backseat."

The car drove out from the city bureau, Xu Kan sat in the driver's seat, and a pile of items were placed on the passenger seat.Hua Chong occupied most of the not-so-spacious back seat, and Liu Zhiqin leaned against the car door.

After driving on the expressway, Hua Chong fell asleep, tilted his body, and fell on Liu Zhiqin's lap.

Liu Zhiqin's eyelids moved, but his eyes did not open.

Soon, he raised his arm and gently placed it on Hua Chong's shoulder.

On the way, Xu Kan received a call from Chen Zheng——

"The three people in Zhang and Qu provinces on the list have long since disappeared, and they may have been caught in an accident."

The author has something to say

The phrase "the sun and the human heart" in the article is adapted from "White Night".The "Asimov" Chen Zheng said is a famous master of science fiction.
