heart poison

The morning is the time when the Canhua Clothing Wholesale Market has the largest flow of people. The gates in all directions are blocked. Large trucks and small trucks are parked all over the street. Vendors and drivers point their noses at each other and curse. The air is full of low-quality goods. The smoky smell of cloth and leather goods, the sour smell of sweat and the worst foul language.

The situation in the residential complex opposite the market is not much better.

In general communities, this is the time when the elderly are exercising and housewives go out to buy vegetables, but in Wing Chun community, all the trucks of express companies come in and out-Taobao shopkeepers are sending the orders received the night before to the whole country. everywhere.

The criminal police of the serious crime team did not drive the police car. Hua Chong was well aware of the chaos on this street in the morning, so he asked Liu Zhiqin to park the car a block away, and everyone got out of the car and walked to "go to the market" with the hawkers.

The crowd divided into two groups, Qu Zhi took people to the wholesale market to obtain surveillance, Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin came to the Wing Chun community where Qiu Han's teahouse was located.

Teahouses usually don’t open in the morning, and people with nothing to do no matter how free they are, they won’t get up early to go to the teahouse to play cards “conscientiously”.Hua Chong stood at the door of the teahouse on the first floor of Unit 2 and asked Qiu Han who came with him to open the door.

Qiu Han was obviously very nervous. He dropped the key in his hand twice, and it took a minute to open the iron doors of the two rooms on the left and right.

Hua Chong walked into the room on the right.

According to Qiu Han, Wang Xiangmei read comic books in this room before she disappeared.

The interior of the room has not been renovated, the floor is all original concrete floor, three rooms and one living room, filled with mahjong tables and poker tables.Hua Chong looked around, looked up at the camera at the top corner, and asked, "Is this the broken camera?"

Qiu Han broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, this is it. I'm going to buy a new one in a few days, and I'll change it soon!"

Hua Chong didn't need his guarantee, and the serious crime team didn't have time to worry about whether a teahouse with a concentration of three religions and nine streams would install cameras.

"Which room was Wang Xiangmei staying in?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Qiu Han pointed to the innermost room, "There. That room is the quietest."

It is a big joke to use "quiet" to describe a certain room in a teahouse.Places like teahouses have never been associated with "quietness".

Hua Chong sneered and walked to the door.

It was a small room with a small simple table by the window and a few comics on it.Next to it is a mahjong table and a rectangular coffee table.It is conceivable that Wang Xiangmei often does her homework and reads comics amidst the sound of rubbing mahjong and scolding mothers after the "fire".

Liu Zhiqin walked to the corridor, observed the environment around the teahouse for a while, and after Hua Chong came out of the room, he said, "If Wang Xiangmei is taken away, she must go out through the gate of the teahouse, and all the windows are covered by security nets. Closed, there is no other way."

"En." Hua Chong pointed to the property management room not far away, "Go and check the monitoring first."

In the past few days, the news that "the teahouse owner's stepdaughter is missing" has spread throughout the Wing Chun community.When the property manager was most afraid of such a thing, when the police came to handle the case, several security guards on duty immediately said that they knew nothing, and that Wang Xiangmei was not on duty when she disappeared.

Hua Chong didn't bother to talk to them, so he adjusted the monitoring records directly.

To his and Liu Zhiqin's surprise, a camera at the west gate of the community captured Wang Xiangmei, but she walked out of the community alone, and there was no suspicious person around.

In the picture, Wang Xiangmei is wearing a half-worn blue sportswear, a pair of not-so-delicate sandals on her feet, a faded Snow White schoolbag on her back, and a bag of potato chips in her hand.

"She changed her clothes." Liu Zhiqin said suddenly: "When she was killed, she was wearing a red and white dress, and on her feet were 'pile socks' which are popular among little girls. , it is impossible to wear sandals."

Hua Chong immediately asked someone to check the public surveillance outside the west gate, and turned to ask Qiu Han, "My colleague showed you the photos before the autopsy. Why didn't you tell me about Wang Xiangmei's clothes being changed?"

"I, I..." Qiu Han frowned anxiously, "I really didn't notice. Xiangmei was murdered, and Jiamei was so sad that she almost fainted. How could I have noticed whether she changed her clothes or not!"

This is not unreasonable, but Hua Chong still felt strange, immediately called up the photo from his mobile phone, and handed it to Qiu Han, "Then take a closer look now, is this dress Wang Xiangmei's?"

Qiu Han instinctively turned his eyes away, as if he was afraid of seeing the photo of the dead body again, but the phone was right in front of him, and he had to look at it, or not.

A few seconds later, he squinted his eyes and glanced painfully a few times, and said in a low voice, "You, you should ask Jiamei, I didn't buy this dress for her, I don't know what other clothes she has. .”

It is true that a stepfather should not be too close to a stepdaughter, but Qiu Han's reaction is far from what Wang Jiamei described.

Hua Chong sighed, and called colleagues who stayed at the Municipal Bureau to send Wang Jiamei to assist in the investigation.

Half an hour later, relevant personnel gathered outside the community where Qiu Han's home was located.

This community is called Fengshou Community, not far from Wing Chun Community, it only takes ten minutes to walk.The buildings inside have been built for more than ten years, and they look half new and not old.

When Wang Jiamei saw the live photos in the air-raid shelter, she burst into tears and kept saying, "This is not Xiangmei's clothes. Xiangmei doesn't have such clothes!"

After several hours, Qiu Han no longer cared for Wang Jiamei like he did in the inquiry room in the middle of the night.Hua Chong noticed that he moved a few steps away from Wang Jiamei irritably, and there was even a little boredom in his eyes.

A recently bereaved mother is, to some men, perhaps the most hated species in the world—no matter how pretty she is.

As soon as she entered the house, Wang Jiamei went straight to Wang Xiangmei's room.Hua Chong was worried that she would be messing around inside, so he quickly followed in.

While crying, Wang Jiamei took out the clothes that Wang Xiangmei used to wear during her lifetime, and murmured, "Who killed my daughter? What do you mean by changing clothes?"

Hua Chong picked up a few pieces of clothes on the bed, touched the fabric, and looked back at Liu Zhiqin.

Obviously, the materials of these clothes are low-end, the workmanship is poor, and some have been washed to fade.

If it is still brand new, the fabric must have the pungent smell of inferior fabric.

"Did you buy these clothes for Wang Xiangmei in the wholesale market?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Wang Jiamei nodded, "I'm not in the children's clothing business. I've been buying Xiangmei's clothes from shop owners I know."

"No skirts?" Hua Chong put the clothes back and caught a glimpse of Qiu Han looking into the bedroom.

"Skirts are the most expensive." Wang Jiamei said, "Even if you are an acquaintance, you can't get a discount."

"So these clothes are discounted?"

Wang Jiamei didn't think there was anything wrong, "Well, children don't need to dress too well. Xiangmei never asked me for a skirt, so she probably doesn't like wearing skirts very much."

Hua Chong didn't refute. He glanced around the room and saw a crayon drawing on the wall.

The painting looks like it was painted by Wang Xiangmei, the woman is Wang Jiamei, and the girl is herself.

In the painting, she is wearing a red princess dress with a sparkling crown headband on her head.

Who said Wang Xiangmei doesn't like skirts?

Which 9-year-old girl doesn't want to have a princess dress?

At this time, Qu Zhi called and said that no suspicious person was found in the recent monitoring of Canhua Clothing Wholesale Market.

??

"There are a lot of weird things about this case." It was already noon when we left Fengshou Community, Hua Chong sat in the car and ate the pot helmet bought by Liu Zhiqin, "I have come into contact with the case of forced organ harvesting before, and the murderer will never be a single person." People, they must be a group with a clear division of labor. But now that Wang Xiangmei’s case has been investigated, I always feel that it was done by one person. For example, at the corpse dump, as long as there are two people, they can work together to throw Wang Xiangmei farther. The air-raid shelter was very deep and dark. If it was thrown as far away as possible, even if someone walked into the cave, they might not necessarily find the corpse. There is no reason for multiple people to commit the crime, but let one person take the risk of disposing of the corpse? Besides, the more perpetrators If there are more people, the possibility of leaving clues is higher, but there are almost no clues around Wang Xiangmei. If there is a suspicious person to be found out, there is only Qiu Han, but what does Qiu Han have to do with organ trading? Women sold to organ harvesters?"

"No way." Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "He is very cowardly, and to a certain extent, he can be called a hypocrite. He pretends to be nice to Wang Xiangmei, but in fact he doesn't care about Wang Xiangmei in his heart; his love for Wang Jiamei is also pretending, Wang Jiamei sees it very clearly and knows that he likes her, firstly because she thinks she is young and beautiful, and secondly because she can bear him a child. But Wang Jiamei's plan is not his, they are even, and they are just making do with each other."

"Parents make do with it, and the children will always be the ones who suffer." Hua Chong laughed twice, crumpled up the oil paper bag containing the pot helmet, and threw it into a trash bag, "Wang Jiamei is just so good at making do, that she doesn't know that her daughter is actually a child." I really want a skirt."

"What did Wang Xiangmei want to do when she left the community alone?" Liu Zhiqin was thinking, "The public surveillance only captured her walking into an alley next to the Wing Chun community, and she disappeared there. Someone was waiting for her there. Or did she go somewhere by herself, and the camera didn't capture it?"

"If she followed someone, that person might have used that red and white dress to seduce her," Hua Chong said.

Liu Zhiqin agrees, "A 9-year-old girl can no longer be seduced by candy, but if it is a beautiful dress that she really wants..."

"But this is also a suspicious point." Hua Chong tapped the steering wheel rhythmically, "The murderer used a skirt to lure Wang Xiangmei. After Wang Xiangmei took the bait, the skirt was useless. Why did the murderer put it on her? He didn't give it to her after killing her." Take it off? This skirt doesn't belong to Wang Xiangmei, 'he' won't be worried about being recognized by Wang Xiangmei's family, and thus become a clue?"

"Before the operation of harvesting organs, the person undergoing the operation should take off the clothes that are in the way." Liu Zhiqin said: "This skirt cannot be worn by Wang Xiangmei when she was alive."

"This is even more strange." Hua Chong frowned, "I don't think the murderers who steal other people's organs would be 'kind' enough to change the victim's beloved dress. The operation failed, the person died, and the organ was not taken. They It should be in a hurry for a while, who has time to put on a skirt for Wang Xiangmei?"

"And when they got out of the state of being in a hurry, Wang Xiangmei's body had gradually become stiff." Liu Zhiqin understood, "It is difficult for others to dress and undress the body when the rigor is in progress."

Hua Chong clenched his right hand into a fist and lightly touched the center of his brow, "The murderer's behavior is too weird, no matter how you think about it, it's not logical."

The car was quiet for a while, and Liu Zhiqin suddenly said, "Then what if the murderer didn't intend to steal Wang Xiangmei's organs?"

Hua Chong raised his head abruptly.

"I was wondering if we had fallen into some kind of misunderstanding from the very beginning, and then drifted further and further away." Liu Zhiqin was holding a bottle of mineral water, holding the cap in his right hand, but did not unscrew it directly, like The action was frozen. "The autopsy and pathological examination proved that Wang Xiangmei died of acute renal failure caused by a severe overdose of sevoflurane. The reason why we believe that the murderer took Wang Xiangmei away for his organs was entirely because of sevoflurane. Then if , the murderer didn't want the organs?"

Hua Chong had long felt that the dosage of sevoflurane was wrong, and the behavior of the so-called organ traders was also very strange, but if the murderer's purpose of using sevoflurane on Wang Xiangmei was not to harvest organs, what would it be?

"Flower team, I think we have to temporarily jump out of the 'trap' of sevoflurane." Liu Zhiqin said solemnly.

Hua Chong was silent for half a minute, "But tracking the motive beyond the cause of death is by no means the correct method of investigation."

Liu Zhiqin pursed his lips and did not speak.

After a while, Hua Chong sighed, started the car and said: "But now it seems that we can only go 'wrong ways'."

??

The Municipal Bureau and the Trace Inspection Department were extremely busy, and all kinds of physical evidence needed to be checked and compared. The trace inspectors were in a hurry, and all of them had no expression on their faces.

Hua Chong finds Li Xun and asks to check the red and white dress on Wang Xiangmei.

Li Xun was stunned: "Didn't you check it at night? There is no DNA of the murderer on that skirt."

"It has nothing to do with DNA, go find out where you bought this dress."

Li Xun showed a "fucking kidding me" expression, "Can't you just ask Wang Xiangmei's family?"

"This skirt was put on by the murderer on Wang Xiangmei," Hua Chong said.

Li Xun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood, "Fuck, I'll check now!"

Other criminal policemen only need to do the work at hand, but Hua Chong can't, all the clues are gathered here, he has to interrogate everything, and he rarely has time to rest.

As soon as he went to the trace inspection department to explain the task, he heard Zhang Mao shout: "Flower team! Zhang Dandan's parents are here!"

He was about to respond when someone touched his forearm suddenly.

"Just go with Zhang Mao." Liu Zhiqin pointed to the electric kettle next to him, "The water will be boiling soon, remember to make tea."

The kettle made a gurgling sound, and the water was constantly tumbling in the kettle.Hua Chong turned around and saw that besides the kettle, there were two cups containing chrysanthemum tea on the table, one was his own and the other was Liu Zhiqin's.

After a moment of daze, Liu Zhiqin had already walked quickly to the inquiry room.

With a sound of "pop", the electric kettle automatically shuts off and the water boils.

Hua Chong shook his head, picked up the handle of the kettle, and poured boiling water into two cups.

The light yellow petals are stretched in the boiling water, and there is a fragrance in the air.The tea is indeed good tea, and the things Chen Zheng sent are not bad.

But no matter how good the tea is, he didn't bother to brew it before, and was complained about "dry chrysanthemum tea".

Thinking about it carefully, it was actually after Liu Zhiqin arrived that he gradually tasted the fragrance of the chrysanthemum tea that Chen Zheng had given him.

It was only after Liu Zhiqin came that someone followed his train of thought and analyzed the case with him without hindrance.

The water was still too hot to drink.He picked up two cups, glanced in the direction of the inquiry room, and immediately greeted the team members who had returned to the Municipal Bureau for a small meeting.

The hospital has not harvested for the time being. According to the sources, the management of anesthetics in the hospital is very strict now, and the possibility of sevoflurane loss has been sealed off.

In this way, the way the murderer was able to obtain sevoflurane was definitely not through the hospital.And the black market transaction currently has no clues.

The technical investigation team found Chen Yun in the surveillance of the old campus of Los Angeles University and its surrounding areas. At 8:30 pm on August 3, Chen Yun, Zhen Qin, and Li Xiu walked out of the southeast gate of Luo University. Chen Yun was carrying her schoolbag and was talking to Zhen Qin with her head tilted. Ten minutes later, they appeared in the surveillance on the street opposite the southeast school gate. Zhen Qin bought a pack of cigarettes, and Li Xiu and Li Xiu each drank one.After that, they never appeared on surveillance again.

Yuan Hao said: "Before Chen Yun disappeared, the last people she came into contact with were Zhen Qin and Li Xiu, and they also discovered Wang Xiangmei. Although we policemen shouldn't discriminate against bastards, the fact is that they are very suspicious .”

Hua Chong propped his cheeks, replaying what Zhen Qin said in his mind.

From the current point of view, the little boss of the eleventh high school is indeed the most suspected person in the case of Chen Yun's disappearance.He said that Chen Yun was his younger sister, and that Chen Guangxiao and his wife used Chen Yun to make money, and his bastard brothers also confirmed his statement.But this group of people is originally one, so it is hard to say that there is no collective lying.Besides, on the 30th, Zhen Qin said that after leaving Luo University, he said goodbye to Chen Yun, and only found out that Chen Yun had disappeared the next day.But the camera only captured him, Li Xiu and Chen Yun together.

Words can be made up at will, but those who listen can't believe everything.

"I think Zhen Qin and Li Xiu should be arrested first." A member of the team said, "I have already gone to the place where Zhen Qin lives to inquire, and it is a rather dilapidated community on Zhaobeng Street. It is unclear whether Zhen Qin returned home from the afternoon to the evening of the 30th. He has no parents and only one grandfather at home. The old man has some mental problems and cannot be a witness."

"But if Zhen Qin and the others are related to Chen Yun's disappearance, where is she taken?" Another team member said: "If she has been killed, the body is easy to deal with, but if she hasn't, she will be locked up in the prison." where?"

"That's why we need to arrest and interrogate people first."

"He made a fuss about going to find Chen Yun, and his temper was very violent. I think he is really anxious, and he doesn't seem to be pretending."

Everyone was discussing in one go, Hua Chong closed his eyes and rubbed his temples while listening.

Zhen Qin is an ignorant bastard, this kind of person is most likely to be regarded as a murderer.But in fact, in many cases, such people are used as a shield by the real murderer.

Zhen Qin was very dissatisfied with Chen Yun's parents, and even called Chen Guangxiao a scumbag. Is what he said true or false?

Speaking of parents, ordinary people think of "kindness". There is even a saying in the folks-anyone may harm you, only parents will treat you wholeheartedly.

This is undoubtedly people's beautiful imagination of family affection.

As a serious criminal police officer, Hua Chong has dealt with many family crimes over the years. Some children kill their parents, and there are many parents who kill their children.It is too common for Chen Guangxiao and his wife to use their daughter to make money as Zhen Qin said.

In the final analysis, mutual use is indispensable among family members.

What made him angry was that Chen Yun was still so young.

Qu Zhi asked: "Flower team, to be restrained or not to be restrained?"

Hua Chong breathed out, "Let's keep it first, and the rest of them will also keep it, but pay attention to the method during the interrogation, they are not yet 18 years old."

Not long after the meeting ended, Liu Zhiqin and Zhang Mao came back.

"How is it?" Hua Chong asked.

"I don't think they have anything in common." Zhang Mao said distressedly, "Except that the missing ones are all girls."

Hua Chong looked at Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin took a sip of tea, "I think Zhang Dandan may have run away from home. She is different from Chen Yun and Wang Xiangmei. They disappeared suddenly, but she had a fight with her parents before she disappeared."

"what reason?"

"Puppy love."

"Only 10 years old?"

"Otherwise, how can it be called puppy love?"

Hua Chong held his forehead, "What about the boy she fell in love with early?"

"I'm also missing, but my family didn't call the police." Liu Zhiqin said helplessly, "Maybe they went somewhere together, and now the colleagues of the branch office are looking for them everywhere."

"It's best to have nothing to do." Hua Chong thought for a while, asked Zhang Mao to do other things, and asked Liu Zhiqin: "Have you noticed that Chen Yun and Wang Xiangmei actually have some similarities?"

"Their parents are both running individual businesses, and they didn't go home after school. One is because they don't want to stay at home alone, and the other is because they are forced to stay in the store to greet customers." Liu Zhiqin said: "They seem to be counted. Not happiness."

"If the perpetrator of these two cases is the same, could the selection criteria for 'his' be the girl who can't go home?" Hua Chong said, shaking his head, "I subjectively feel that there is a connection between them, but this similarity The point is too unconvincing. Most of the cases involving young girls are sexual assault and trafficking. This time involving sevoflurane is unreasonable enough. What are you doing?"

"When the dose of sevoflurane is moderate and used as an anesthetic, it can save lives, but when it is seriously overdosed, it is a murderous poison." Liu Zhiqin's eyes paused, "The murderer used it as a poison."

"But there are countless ways to kill people in the world. Even if it is poison, you can also use arsenic and cyanide, which are relatively easier to get. Why did he use sevoflurane to kill people? Sevoflurane can't be tested," he said. 'It doesn't make any sense to do this, but it's easy to expose yourself.' After Hua Chong finished speaking, he added: "But since 'he' has done this, there must be a reason why he has to do it. Sevoflurane, red and white dresses, must be Those are the two most important clues."

At this time, Li Xun hurried over from the trace inspection department, holding a stack of reports in his hand, "Flower team, this dress is a new dress launched by a mid-end girl clothing manufacturer this spring, and the tag price at that time was 899 yuan. It’s already out of season, and some shopping malls are offering discounts, and the price has dropped to around 400 yuan.”

Although 400 yuan is not expensive, it is not cheap for a family like Wang Xiangmei.Most of the clothes Wang Jiamei bought for her cost around 50 yuan, and they were all low-end clothes.

Hua Chong immediately asked: "Can you find out which store this dress came from?"
