Suspected death is coming

The door of the overcrowded supercoffee was pushed vigorously by more than a dozen people, and even the door frame shook. Because of the sudden influx of a large number of people, the door was temporarily blocked, and the men and women stuck in the crowd couldn't care less. Just desperately trying to escape that door.

Finally, after one person successfully escaped, a space was left, and the crowded people just poured out like a flood, looking back while running, for fear of being chased by something behind, and swallowed them raw.

Yuan Che and Ke Ran ran towards the door against the crowd, but they were pushed back again and again by those who rushed out, until all the people ran out, the door became an empty hole, and those who did not run out still stayed inside, and could even hear the crowd. To the cries of some timid people.

The entrance of the coffee shop suddenly became quiet, there was no one's voice except faint sobs, and everyone stared at the person who appeared at the door with bated breath.

He Chao, who was still talking to them 10 minutes ago, staggered out of the coffee shop, reaching out as if trying to grab something but could only grab the air.

Seeing He Chao's face, Yuan Che couldn't help but gasped.

That handsome face was covered with blood at the moment, blood came out from his eyes, nose and ears, and blood gushed out from his mouth.While trying to cover the blood with his hands, trying in vain to prevent it from flowing out, he was coughing in pain, his desperate eyes looking for help everywhere, and after seeing Yuan Che's side, he reached out and pointed in his direction, but he didn't When his hand was raised, the person had already thrown himself on the ground, and after a few withdrawals, he remained motionless.

Yuan Che stayed for less than a second and rushed over, but Ke Ran was still half a beat behind. The two ran to the body lying on the ground. Yuan Che turned He Chao around with all his strength, and looked at He Chao's appearance , You don't need to snort to know that this person is dead.

He Chao's blood-stained eyes stared forward motionlessly, his pupils had lost focus and were slowly dilated.The blood gushing from the corner of his mouth just now didn't stop, it still flowed down the corner of his open mouth to the ground, forming a puddle.

Just as Yuan Che took out the phone, a sudden scream from behind scared him so much that the phone almost fell out of his hand and fell into a pool of blood.

Lu Yirou dropped the umbrella in her hand and ran over frantically, just as she was about to touch He Chao's body, Ke Ran blocked her.

"Let go of me, Chao, wake up, get up, don't lie there, get up!"

"Mrs. He, Ms. Lu, Professor He is dead."

Lu Yirou was a tall woman, and the seemingly weak woman became extremely powerful at this moment. Ke Ran tried his best not to let her get close to the corpse.

After struggling for a while, Lu Yirou seemed to have run out of strength. She wept bitterly, shaking her head while crying hoarsely: "Impossible, how could this happen? We agreed, how could this happen?"

Yuan Che covered one ear, walked to a place five meters away and dialed the phone: "Old Zhao, come here. He Chao died in front of the supercoffee on the campus of T University. Call the trace inspection department for me." people." Then he made two more phone calls to the surrounding police stations, asking them to call in the police force to assist in the investigation.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Che looked at the crowds around. Some of those who were in this coffee shop just now had disappeared without a trace, while those who were bolder ran into the crowd and stopped, their bodies trembling. , looking at this side with courage.From time to time, people asked them what happened, and these witnesses were all dazed, not knowing what happened.

Yuan Che turned his head, and saw a fat man wearing the same work clothes of the coffee shop standing blankly at the door, holding the door frame tightly with his hands, his face was pale, his lips trembled, his body was like sifting chaff, and he could only barely support himself by relying on the hands on the door frame It didn't spread out on the ground.

When I entered the door, I saw him busy next to the cashier, calling the waiter to do this and that from time to time, he should be the owner of this coffee shop.

If someone dies in his own coffee shop, it is still this way of death, which is almost like a seal of closure.

Inside the door, some people who didn't have time to escape huddled together, the bold ones looked sideways at the corpse on the ground, and the timid ones covered their faces and meowed through their fingers.One of the waitresses had blood splattered on her body, she was standing stiffly, with tears on her face, she was dumbfounded, and she was tightly curled up in the arms of a girl next to her.

Standing among these people was the waitress he paid special attention to just now, and that waitress was the only one who stared straight at He Chao's body lying on the ground.

Yuan Che saw that Ke Ran had controlled Lu Yirou, he gave Ke Ran a look, and walked to the boss by himself:

"Are you the boss?"

"I am I am. It's not about our coffee."

"Don't be afraid, I'm the police, is there surveillance in your store?"

"Yes, yes, comrade policeman, I'll let you go now."

"No hurry, I think your store has been open for some years, right?"

"Yes, yes, it has been three years, and the reputation has always been very good, and there is not even a shoddy report."

Yuan Che believed that he was telling the truth. At this time, his brain probably stopped, and the rest were instinctive answers. Even if he was asked a private question, he would tell the whole story.

"Are the customers who come to your store mainly students and teachers here? Are there many regular customers?"

"Yes, yes, they are all regular customers. Repeat customers." The boss was a little incoherent, and his lips were still trembling.

"In this way, you should first look at the monitoring for yourself, and list all the people who came from Professor He Chao to the incident just now, and don't miss any of them. If you don't know them, ask your clerk, or take pictures and save them. In short I want the full list of personnel. I have been in contact with Professor He, whether it is direct or indirect contact, it is marked."

"Okay, I, I'll do it right away." He finally let go of his whitened fingers, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, turned his head stiffly, Yuan Che reached out and grabbed him and added: "The machine tools in the shop I'm optimistic about it, don't use it anymore. It will be investigated in a while."

The boss let out a whimper and waved feebly to a few shop assistants in the shop to go to work.

Yuan Che called back some people who ran out just now, looked at the remaining guests, pointed to a bloody road on the ground from where He Chao was sitting to the door, and said, "Empty this passage, don't step on the provincial road." I will trouble you later. Please find a place to sit first. It is estimated that you will not be able to leave here for a while. We will ask you one by one. Now ask the boss for a paper and write down your name, department, and relationship with the deceased. .”

This group of college students had never seen such a battle before. They looked at Yuan Che stiffly, motionless as if the soles of their feet had taken root. Yuan Che's words were like stones thrown into a bottomless pit, and there was no echo at all.

Yuan Che squinted his eyes and raised his voice: "What are you still doing in a daze? Move!"

This group of talents seemed to be awakened, and began to look for the boss like headless chickens, and finally crowded around the boss to get paper and pens.

He looked at the girl with blood on her body, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes to bring her back to her senses, but it was of no use. He had to ask the person next to her to help her change her clothes and wrap them up.

Yuan Che was busy arranging people there, while Lu Yirou was supported by Ke Ran to the coffee shop and sat where he could see the corpse.From the heart-piercing crying just now to the current sobbing, the makeup on her face was blurred by tears and spread on her face, the meticulous bun became messy, and some strands of hair hung on her cheeks, and she didn't care to fiddle with them She opened, her panting chest rose and fell, making the lilies on her body tremble.

Ke Ran poured a glass of water and put it beside Lu Yirou, turned around to go out, but his trousers were pinched by Lu Yirou's fingers, the sad woman begged in a hoarse voice:

"Can, can you sit down. I don't want to be alone."

"Ms. Lu, may I find a classmate to accompany you?" Ke Ran moved to the side, but the pants were firmly held by the woman.

"They, they were scared to death, sitting next to me makes me feel sad." Lu Yirou looked at the students who gathered together over there, and murmured.

Ke Ran looked at Yuan Che, and was catching Yuan Che's gaze. Ke Ran blinked his eyes, not sure if he understood what he meant, and answered absently, "Okay, I see." After that, half a Sit on the couch with your butt and act as a comforter.

Lu Yirou's current appearance is probably best described as pear blossoms with rain. Her fingers are caressing her forehead, and her eyes are slightly closed, showing no emotion. Fu, no longer speak.

A male waiter brought over two bottled drinks and put them in front of Ke Ran and Lu Yirou: "The boss invited you." He looked outside timidly and asked, "Well, when can I take it away?"

Hearing what he said, Lu Yirou glanced at him sadly and began to cry again.

"It looks like it will take an hour." Ke Ran wanted to comfort the frightened student, but he didn't know what to say.

"Oh, that's it." After getting the answer, he turned back to the boss and whispered to him, and the boss continued to search for the monitoring with a mournful face resigned to his fate.

The forensic team and the trace inspection team arrived soon. Although it was a recent incident, because it was a coffee shop, it was still the most crowded noon, so the work of obtaining evidence was quite difficult.Except for the coffee cup used by He Chao, the books he read, and the place where he sat, all the utensils in the cafe were marked and sealed.

It took quite a long time to collect the fingerprints and footprints of a dozen people alone.

Zhao Chenguang looked at the corpse on the ground and listened to Yuan Che's explanation of the situation at that time, and wondered, "Why does this scene look familiar?"

"What? Can you see the cause of death?"

Zhao Chenguang reached out and groped He Chao's body from head to toe, lifted up the clothes of the deceased and looked at some massive bruises on his body: "I can be sure that it is not an external injury, whether there is an internal injury is still uncertain. According to the situation you said, the possibility of death from poisoning is very high. Judging from the amount of bleeding, it is likely that he took anticoagulant drugs, which caused extensive bleeding in the body and caused death."

"Anti-coagulant medicine? You mean rat poison? Is it so serious?"

"General anticoagulant drugs will not have such a situation even if they are taken in large quantities, but if it is the mother liquid of rodent control drugs, the high-purity extracted drugs are different. The lethal dose and time are different due to different human constitutions. Why is this?" The professor looks like he has been exercising regularly and has well-developed muscles. With a physique like this, it is likely that he has taken rat poison for a day or two or even a few days before he appears today. When you saw him today, you didn’t notice anything. Strange place?"

Yuan Che squinted his eyes and recalled: "When I saw him just now, I really felt a little strange. The air-conditioning wind was blowing so cold, and his nose was still sweating, and his arms were tightly hugged. At that time, I thought he was guilty. Or it’s because of our resistance that he behaved like this, now think about it, could it be that he was already feeling uncomfortable at that time, just pretending to be okay?”

Zhao Chenguang nodded: "If you say that, he should have been in pain today, why didn't he go to the hospital?"

Ke Ran came out of the coffee shop, and he handed Yuan Che a dozen sheets of paper, the top one was a list of scribbled names, Zhao Chenguang asked him and said softly: "He said that he has been working all night and late these days, did he put This inappropriateness was the result of an overnight stay."

Yuan Che nodded, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "When we asked him about the situation just now, did you notice anything other than his strange behavior?"

Ke Ran: "He was not prepared for our appearance, but he seemed to be prepared to answer our questions."

"anything else?"

"He knew about Qu Jing, and even knew about her death. He didn't even ask us what happened to Qu Jing. Even if we had never met, he was his future student after all. It shows that he knows Qu Jing, but he just deliberately distanced himself from his relationship with Qu Jing."

"Why did he do this?"

"Could it be that he already knew about Qu Jing's work? He felt that ignorance with the hostess would affect his future, so he pretended not to know. Or he knew who the murderer of Qu Jing was, and he was even protecting that murderer? " Ke Ran said, looking at Lu Yirou who was sitting by the window, leaning against the glass.

Zhao Chenguang looked at Ke Ran with admiration, and began to beckon for people to carry away the body, ready to go for an autopsy.

Yuan Che withdrew his gaze from Ke Ran's face, with deliberate indifference:

"We first need to verify whether what he said about staying up all night is true, and rule out the possibility that he himself is the murderer."

"You mean he might have committed suicide in fear of crime?"

"Or witnesses or insiders were killed and silenced. When he confronted us just now, he didn't look like a person who committed suicide in fear of crime before he died."

"Isn't it, and it doesn't look like a murderer when facing the police. Only when he has excellent psychological quality can he not leak any traces."

The car of the funeral parlor, which was about to drive out, suddenly stopped with a screeching brake.The back door was pushed open suddenly, Zhao Chenguang jumped out of the car in a hurry, and ran to Yuan Che with a piece of paper folded in half:

"Look, what is this?"

Yuan Che looked at Zhao Chenguang wearing gloves and holding the paper. Regardless of the exposed abdominal muscles, he lifted up his shirt and pinched the paper with the hem of his clothes, and unfolded the paper. There was only one line of bold English words on it:

CATCH MEIF YOU CAN!
