Xiaoyu Detective Agency

The process of finding witnesses was not so smooth. It was already noon on Monday when Wang Jue's message was sent to Xiuwen's phone.

Xiuwen hesitated for a few seconds.Ever since Lei Yizhou told him that the deputy editor was dissatisfied with his frequent going out, he has been very cautious, coming in early and leaving late, hoping to make up his working time.But Wang Jue seemed to have a magical appeal that he couldn't refuse. Three minutes later, he knocked on Wang Jue's door and listened to his introduction of the witness.

The witness was an old woman who helped take care of a small courtyard in the mountains where Wen Tiangao occasionally visited.The house has no title and is an illegal building, but it was built in the mountains and no one noticed it.

"I've got the address, come with me?" Although Wang Jue's tone was asking, he didn't give Xiuwen a chance to refuse.He had already stuffed the car keys into Xiuwen's hand, and pushed him out the door.

Parked downstairs is an ordinary red car, it is estimated that the last car is still being repaired.Xiuwen felt that something was not going well recently, especially in terms of the car, first of all, he was careful, and then the car a few days ago, this car should not make any mistakes.Judging from the address Wang Jue gave him just now, if the place breaks down, it will be really ineffective every day.

While complaining about the lousy place Wen Tiangao chose, Wang Jue sat in the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and continued to introduce the old man's situation to Xiuwen.

This old woman grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and Wen Tiangao met when she was hiking in the mountains.He ate poisonous weeds by mistake, and it was the old man who saved him.In order to repay her, Wen Tiangao built this small courtyard for the old man.Not far from where she used to live, though the house was much stronger.The old man has been here since then and never left.Wen Tiangao would visit her occasionally, but not many times.

"That's all?" Xiuwen pricked up his ears to listen to Wang Jue while driving. When he stopped suddenly, he felt that he hadn't heard enough.

"It's not easy to know these things, okay?" Wang Jue protested against Xiuwen's contempt, "Otherwise, you can try to find out! We won't know the rest until we meet her. I hope she is not confused."

The one who survived was the unlucky mountain.Wang Jue stood at the gate of the small courtyard and looked around. He estimated in his mind the distance from the cave at the scene of the crime to here.

Wang Jue's prayers worked.Although the old man is old, his spirit is hale and hearty, his thinking is clear and his memory is quite good.

She remembered that the last time a woman came to the door first, the woman said she was Wen Tiangao's wife.The old man saw that she was well dressed and behaved very politely, so he was not on guard against the middle-aged woman and let her into the house.She lived for a while and cooked three meals a day for two people. The old man had a good impression of her.On the day Wen Tiangao came, she specially cooked a large table of dishes.

Wang Jue took out the photo for the old man to identify, and confirmed that the woman was Qi Jing.

Living in this kind of place certainly seldom communicates with others, but the old man speaks slowly, and there is nothing wrong with being organized.

"Do you remember what they said that day?" Wang Jue tried to amplify his voice. The old man was old and his ears were a little hard.

"Ah? What did you say? Then how can I remember it. But it was fine at first, but then there seemed to be a quarrel. I just remember that several plates were broken, and my heart aches..."

Followed by some random thoughts about the price style of the plate.Wang Jue yawned.

"Wait a minute," Xiuwen suddenly stood up and stopped the old man from continuing, "What did you just say?"

"Ah? Just now? I said that in my small courtyard, look at the flowers and plants growing outside. They are so beautiful, and the vegetables are also beautiful. Don't touch those mushrooms, they are poisonous just by the color."

Wang Jue, who was already drowsy, suddenly cheered up when he heard the word "poison", and hurriedly asked the old man, "You said it was poisonous, has anyone eaten it?"

"Hey, who ate it? Look at what it looks like. I don't know why it grew in my yard. If you can't eat it, you can't eat it, but it's pretty good, so I kept it."

Xiuwen and Wang Jue glanced at the small pile of mushrooms at the same time.It is very beautiful, the red canopy with white spots reminds me of the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf.

"However, there were indeed a few trees missing. At first, I was worried that someone would pass by and steal them to eat. Then I thought, everyone knows that beautiful mushrooms are not edible. A few days later, I found a mushroom in the back mountain. The dead dog, presumably it was taken away by it, so I didn't think about it anymore."

"Grandma, when does this mushroom usually grow?"

"June, and sometimes July, it still depends on the climate..." Next is the science popularization on plant and fungus breeding.

Hearing this, Wang Jue had a plan in mind.The two left the soft pastry specially brought for the old man and went down the mountain.

"I think the wife found out about her husband's affair, poisoned him, and forged a suicide note." Wang Jue picked up a branch from somewhere, and patted the plants on both sides.

Xiuwen nodded in agreement, but he was behind Wang Jue, and the man couldn't see his movements. He opened his mouth and continued, "I never thought that my husband wanted to kill his lover that day."

"In the end, the lover thought that he killed him." Wang Jue completed the ending of the story.

Xiuwen was silent for a while and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

"Qi Jing made mushroom soup that day."

Yes, that's what the old man said.She heard the two quarreling next door that day and wanted to try to persuade her, but she didn't expect to enter the house, and the cups and plates were messed up all over the floor, and the earthen pot she used to stew the soup was also broken, and the mushrooms inside spilled out.

"But she didn't say there were poisonous mushrooms in it."

"It should be Qi Jing who fished it out. If he really stewed mushrooms that he doesn't know, would he dare to eat them? No, is the mushroom soup so toxic? Or Wen Tiangao is not so careful and ate them all? Does Wen Tiangao like to eat mushrooms? He probably likes them, otherwise he wouldn’t have been poisoned to death.” Wang Jue is good at finding reasonable explanations for his guesses. There's a little logic there.

Xiuwen tilted his head in thought, Wang Jue's guess was reasonable.But this is still just speculation, what about the evidence?

Wen Tiangao should have been invited there by Qi Jing.Qi Jing had a showdown with him, knowing that there was a woman outside him, and forced him to break up.Although Wen Tiangao was reluctant, he agreed.He didn't want to give up the Qi family's property, which meant that he couldn't be separated from Qi Jing.Qi Jing cooked him a meal, he left the house after eating, and continued to look for Ren Yuerou.

Coincidentally, the unlucky poisonous mushroom did not attack until he drank the water that Ren Yuerou handed over.In fact, he didn't even have time to take a sip.If he drank it, he would die faster.

"Ren Yuerou will at most just refuse to save her. But even if she calls the emergency department, she may not be able to make it in time. It will take a few hours to come back here from the hospital." Wang Jue summed up Ren Yuerou's crimes, There was a sense of excuse for her.

"You still didn't say you have any evidence." Xiuwen is obsessed with evidence. In reasoning stories, no evidence can make the prisoner come to justice. What's more, their suspect is dead now. If there is no conclusive evidence, it is nothing to suspect a dead person good direction.

Wang Jue was so annoyed when he was asked, the branch in his hand flew towards Xiuwen: "Because I have no evidence at all!"

On the way back, Wang Jue was rarely silent.He was still angry, not because Xiuwen was aggressive and insisted on producing evidence himself, but because he couldn't find enough evidence to convince the world.He wasn't like this before, before... forget it, it's all over.

Because Wang Jue said he was going to school, Xiuwen drove him off.Passing by the office building of the publishing house, Xiuwen slowed down the speed of the car.A vague image appeared in his mind, but the image flashed by.

Noticing the abnormal speed of the car, Wang Jue, who had recovered from his anger, asked, "What's wrong?" He looked around, but didn't find any traffic jams or pedestrians?

"It's nothing."

Wang Jue glanced at Xiuwen suspiciously, and continued to compete with his research report.Today he needs to submit a simple psychological research report on the analysis of people susceptible to mental illness.This graduate student was very tired from studying. If he hadn't believed that this knowledge would be helpful to his work, he wouldn't have worked so hard.People are so realistic.

After the awkward silence was broken, Xiuwen could finally ask the question he had always wanted to ask: "If what you just analyzed is true, do you think Qi Jing knows that the mushroom is poisonous?"

"This is not nonsense, of course she..." Yes, of course she knew, but who knew she knew?She just made a mushroom soup, then Wen Tiangao got food poisoning, and died on the mountain before he could be treated in time.After giving her a dream, this explanation is so reasonable and there are no loopholes.Calculated according to the time of the onset of the toxin, Wen Tiangao could not get out of this mountain.But she didn't know where he would die, so she asked Liu Congcong to bring the dog to look for him.Was it to see if the mushroom really killed him?Ren Yuerou's appearance was not in her plan.

Dreaming, Wang Jue snorted coldly, maybe Wen Tiangao really dreamed.

Seeing that the car had already arrived at the school gate, Xiuwen was about to ask how long it would take to pick him up, but Wang Jue said first: "Find a place to park, and come in with me."

Xiuwen has been in this city for a few years, but given his limited scope of activities, this medical university is located at the north and south ends of the city respectively from the university he studied at. This is the first time he has entered here.

There is no strong smell of disinfectant as imagined, and the teaching building is no different from an ordinary university.Now it is the summer vacation, most of the students have gone home, and there are not many people on campus.Their destination was the ninth floor of the laboratory building, where Professor Wang Jue was instructing several students who were doing research.

The moment the door was opened, Xiuwen saw through the crack of the door that the experimental subjects on the table were a few little rabbits. Xiuwen couldn't help being curious, but afraid that it would be impolite to ask, so he leaned into Wang Jue's ear and whispered, "Are you studying animals?" Mental?"

Wang Jue shook his head, he didn't know.He did not participate in this experiment, and his teacher will also participate in some other professional projects.Since animals have brains, intelligence and thinking, they naturally have psychological changes.Someone asks him for help. He will go whenever he is free. He is an old professor who is willing to help others.

The old professor finished reading Wang Jue's report in the corridor, his eyebrows curled into a horoscope, and finally he just said "keep working hard" and went back to the laboratory.The two of them were left at a loss in the empty corridor.
