sincerity of lies

For everyone in the villa, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

After questioning the four key suspects, Ji Xun was not idle. He strolled out of Chen Jiashu's room, wandered around and chatted in the whole villa.

Without filing a case, the police cannot directly search the room.

But if you ask around, no one will be able to stop you.

There are quite a lot of people in the villa. For such a big house, there are one group of people for cleaning, one group for catering, and people are needed for the maintenance of the rest of the houses and the maintenance of the garden.

The villa has three floors in total, most of which are bedrooms, Chen Jiashu's bedroom, Mrs. Sun's bedroom next door, Abin's bedroom next to it, and the pharmacy at the end of the corridor—all the standing medicines in the villa, which have been used by Chen Jiashu for treatment, They are all placed in the pharmacy, and the police have already gone in and searched; and after the pharmacy, at the end of the corridor, there is a door leading to the terrace that surrounds the entire third floor.

There is a big wisteria planted in the terrace, with lush green leaves covering the outer wall and flowers in bloom.

The life of a flower is about to bloom, but the life of a person has withered.

After going around in a circle, about an hour later, Ji Xun, who had finished chatting with many people, returned to the room again.

This is Chen Jiashu's room. They are sitting on the soft sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and behind them is the big bed where Chen Jiashu died.

"What did you ask?" Huo Ranyin asked Ji Xun.

"Some trivial things." Ji Xun said, "For example, Mrs. Sun has severe pollen allergies. If she touches the pollen, she has to go to the hospital for an injection..."

"Have severe pollen allergies but go up the mountain at this time?" Huo Ran asked sensitively.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, spring is the time when flowers are in full bloom. Coming up the mountain at this time is a serious challenge for people with pollen allergies.

"Well, in a few days, it will be Mrs. Sun's [-]th birthday." Ji Xun, "When the birthday is over, mother wants to be with her son, so she came up to the mountain specially. For this reason, Mrs. Sun did not hesitate to carry a medicine bag with her. .”

This reason makes sense.

"What a coincidence." Huo Ranyin still whispered.

"The birthday is written on the ID card and cannot be changed, so I'm afraid this is indeed a coincidence." Ji Xun replied.

Sitting in a bright room at night, looking out of the dim window, you can only see your own reflection in the room reflected on the window, and a blurry black silhouette.

I don't know if it's the wind or something, but the silhouette flickered in his retina, and suddenly disappeared.

Ji Xun looked thoughtfully at the disappearing shadow.

The black shadow seemed to exist, seemed to be absent, seemed to be far away, seemed to be lurking on the balcony outside the window, and also seemed to be lurking in the treetops of the garden.

He asked Huo Ranyin: "This mountain is so big, and there are only people here. Tell me, are there any ghosts living in the mountain and wandering around?"

"..." Huo Ranyin was puzzled, "Are you joking?"

"That's not what I said." Ji Xun corrected, "This is what Lao Zhang—Lao Zhang is the night guard of this villa—said."

"Then how do you answer him?"

"Me?" Ji Xun, "I told him, prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony, freedom, equality, justice and the legal system."

"Very good." Huo Ranyin commented.

"Let's wait for the autopsy results." Ji Xun yawned, "The autopsy results are out, we know how Chen Jiashu died, so we can search for evidence in a targeted manner. I hope the forensic doctor can do more..."

The forensic doctor of the Ning City Criminal Investigation Detachment was still very capable. At [-] o'clock the next morning, the bureau reported the results of the autopsy, and Chen Jiashu died of asphyxiation due to enlarged respiratory tract caused by an acute allergic reaction.

In other words, Chen Jiashu didn't die from kidney disease at all, but from an allergic reaction.

"Have you found out the allergen?" Huo Ranyin asked Hu Xian.

"Ceph." Hu Xian replied, "The deceased's medical records also stated that the deceased was allergic to cephalosporins."

When the result came out, the situation became clear.

"Chen Jiashu had a kidney transplant and had to take medicine to suppress the immune response every day. At this time, the murderer only needed to mix cephalosporin into the medicine Chen Jiashu took..." Ji Xun speculated, "But after eating cephalosporin and having a severe allergic reaction, Chen Jiashu must Will struggle, but there is no trace of struggle at the scene, so it can be speculated that Chen Jiashu still has the habit of taking sleeping pills every day?"

"Yes." Huo Ranyin said.Hu Yuan didn't need to tell me this, it was also recorded in Chen Jiashu's own medication report.

Chen Jiashu has always taken sleeping pills to rest. Recently, due to a kidney transplant, the dosage of sleeping pills has increased. From this point of view, Chen Jiashu may have suffocated to death due to allergies in his sleep—so the police did not find it on the body or around it. Any trace of struggle.

From the results of the autopsy, it was an obvious murder.

The police filed a case, and a search warrant was signed and issued.

When Huo Ranyin showed the search warrant to Mrs. Sun, the elderly woman pursed her lips tightly, revealing two deep law lines like knife carvings under her nose.Her elegant temperament settled down, and a rock-hard feeling was precipitated.

"Please." Mrs. Sun said coldly.

The first thing that must be searched is of course Chen Jiashu's pharmacy.

The pharmacy in the corner of the corridor on the third floor is not a big room, and there is a desk against the wall for dispensing medicines; in the center of the room are several open bookshelves, on which are various bottles and cans of medicines.

There was a window in the room but it was covered by a curtain.

Normally, Xiao Fei was responsible for Chen Jiashu's medicines. Xiao Fei led the police to the shelf where Chen Jiashu's daily medicines were placed, and stood aside nervously.

Ji Xun glanced at the medicine bottles, there were prednisone, tacrolimus, sodium bicarbonate and so on.

He took them one by one, weighed them, and took a look.

At the same time, Huo Ranyin looked around the entire room, from the four walls, to the shelves, to the floor, to the ceiling.

When looking at the corner of the ceiling, Huo Ranyin paused and asked, "What's going on there?"

At the corner of the wall next to the door, 5cm below the white ceiling, there was a dark hole with wires hanging from the hole, and there were traces of nails on the wall next to it.

Xiaofei looked up and whispered, "I don't know."

Except for Xiaofei, the other three people also came, Zheng Xuewang said: "I didn't pay attention to these."

Mrs. Sun said indifferently: "What happens to my son's house is his own business."

Li Feng had nothing to say, so he could only hide from Huo Ranyin's sight.

The gesture of nonviolent disobedience was made explicit by these men—but it didn't work.

Ji Xun bent down and moved the chair under the table, put it under the wall, and stepped on it to take a look.

"Hmm... the wall is snow white, and there are not a few particles of dust on it. It has only been dismantled for two days. Judging by the location, it should be a surveillance camera."

He stood on the ground again, returned to the position just now, and handed a medicine bottle that Chen Jiashu needed to take every day to Huo Ranyin: "It's too light."

Huo Ranyin took it, and felt that the bottle of medicine was so light that it was almost empty; when he opened it again, it was indeed almost empty, with only two or three pills left in it.

He glanced at the medicine in his hand, and at the dismantled surveillance camera above, and understood the murderer's modus operandi in the case of Chen Jiashu's death.

……

"The modus operandi is very simple." Coming out of the pharmacy, Ji Xun gently rubbed his forehead, "Just mix the cephalosporin there into the bottle of medicine that is almost finished. Although there is no way to know exactly when Chen Jiashu died, but Or today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, he will die, just see which day this pill will be taken."

"That's just..." Ji Xun wanted to say something, but in the middle of speaking, he paused, as if hesitating in thought.

"This also creates an alibi for the murderer, and a certain amount of time to escape." Huo Ranyin added for Ji Xun.He is arranging for the police to take action on the villa. The camera removed from the wall of the pharmacy is of great importance and must be found. The search will first start from the inside of the villa and conduct a comprehensive investigation. If it cannot be found, it will spread from the garden outside the villa, close to the villa. mountain road.

"Hmm." Ji Xun replied vaguely, how does this direction look like... But it's impossible, absolutely impossible, or is the murderer setting up suspicions?Or is there something he missed?

He continued:

"The method of the case is clear, and it is not so difficult to investigate the suspects. Chen Jiashu saved us a lot of time - he installed a camera in the pharmacy to record the images of everyone who came to the pharmacy. The problem is... Why are these people hiding their cameras?"

The camera is evidence, and there is important evidence in it.

Only when it is clear that Chen Jiashu died unexpectedly, and that the police are likely to intervene in the investigation, can the evidence be destroyed before it happens... On the surface, it seems that everyone is the murderer and everyone is conspiring.

This is impossible.

Is there any reason for them to join forces and kill Chen Jiashu?

Ji Xun rubbed his forehead harder with his fingers.

"According to the investigation, there is no irreconcilable conflict between Chen Jiashu and his mother." Huo Ranyin's voice sounded, and he analyzed logically, "The possibility of destroying the evidence because the mother is the murderer has been ruled out, and now there are only two remaining. Direction. 1. The mother shields the murderer; 2. The mother wants to lynch and kill the murderer."

The sound of the analysis just fell, and there were already hurried footsteps outside, and the police who dispersed to investigate inside the villa rushed back and brought Huo Ranyin a message:

"Captain Huo, we found a small human-shaped door in the garden. There is a camera device next to the small human-shaped door, but the camera has also been dismantled. Judging from the traces, it has just been dismantled!"

Even weirder.

The front and rear doors for normal entry and exit were all reserved for the police, but the small door was deliberately dismantled. It must be that the small door also photographed something that the police could not see...things that the police could not see...

Mrs. Sun...Old Zhang...camera...

Ji Xun stopped with his fingers rubbing his forehead, and a series of clues were connected in series to form a logical chain connected head to tail. This logical chain made him energetic:

"I see!"
