I am a super cop

Chapter 876

"It seems to be alcohol poisoning." Gu Chen held Dong Aiping's cheek with his right hand, looked around, and said, "There are some symptoms of poisoning."

"But how could this Dong Aiping come to the grove in Xiangshan Lake Park?"

Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.

These days, the watermelons in the Dongjia Village Poverty Alleviation Base are selling very well.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.

But without saying hello, is it interesting to play peek-a-boo?

Dong Aiping disappeared without saying hello, but Dongjia Village was very anxious to find him.

But I haven't seen him for a few days, but suddenly reappeared, appearing in the grove of Xiangshan Lake Park as the deceased, which inevitably makes people think.

Gu Chen grabbed Dong Aiping's shoulder and turned him over on the spot to check if there was any injury on his body.

But at this moment, Gu Chen discovered that there seemed to be a small towel under Dong Aiping's body.

Lu Weiwei also saw it, and hurriedly reminded: "What is this thing for?"

"Maybe it's used to pad your buttocks and sit on the lawn?" Yuan Shasha said.

Gu Chen didn't care about these, and carefully picked up the towel to check it.

Gu Chen remembered that Dong Aiping did bring a small towel with him to wipe his sweat in the compound of the Furong branch that day.

From this point of view, Dong Aiping seems to have been carrying this thing with him a few days ago.

On the surrounding lawn, there were no traces of fierce fighting, nor were there traces of struggle.

In addition, there is a can of beer beside Dong Aiping, which makes people feel a little curious.

So Gu Chen continued to check Dong Aiping's body, and took out a bunch of keys and a wallet, but the phone was missing.

Gu Chen turned to look at Uncle Zhao, and asked him: "Uncle Zhao, when you found him, did you see your phone left here?"

"No, no, I didn't see this thing."

Fearing that Gu Chen would misunderstand that he was greedy for money and secretly took away the phone, Uncle Zhao immediately said again: "Dead people's things are unlucky, and it is unlucky to look at them. You can look for them again, anyway, I didn't see them."

"Didn't Dong Fang say that? Dong Aiping's cell phone has been turned off for several days in a row." Officer Wang reminded.

Gu Chen nodded silently, then put the keys and wallet on the ground, and asked Yuan Shasha to write down the serial number, and then took photos to collect evidence.

After completing the operation, Gu Chen gently opened the wallet.

But I found that in addition to the ID card, two bank cards, and a few small bills, there was also a piece of white letter paper in the wallet.

Gu Chen directly opened the letter paper, and everyone gathered together to check it.

Lu Weiwei began to read in a low voice.

It probably means that I have lost all the borrowed funds now, and there is no hope in life.

Dong Aiping did not dare to face his creditors, nor his family and fellow villagers, so he decided to end his life.

Looking at the written words, there is despair between the lines, as if life is ushering in the darkest moment.

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen suspiciously: "Dong Aiping really committed suicide, right?"

"I don't know about this at the moment." Gu Chen shook his head, and said: "I don't know if this is Dong Aiping's notes, anyway, take it back and have a look."

After wrapping up these few pieces of evidence again, Gu Chen called the technical department and contacted Dong Fang in Dongjia Village, asking Dong Fang to inform Dong Aiping's family.

About half an hour later, people from the technical department came, Gao Chuanfeng brought a few people to the scene of the incident, and asked Gu Chen about the situation.

Gu Chen specifically explained: "This can of beer, take it home for testing, I preliminarily concluded that it is potassium cyanide poisoning."

"What about the time of death?" Gao Chuanfeng asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen hesitated a little, and based on the physical characteristics of the deceased Dong Aiping, he said again: "The time of death is preliminarily estimated to be around 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon."

"Understood, leave this corpse to me." Gao Chuanfeng hurriedly called a few people, and together they carried the corpse into a body bag and prepared to transport it out of the grove.

But after everyone carried the body away, Gu Chen discovered that there was a strange flower left on the lawn where Dong Aiping had fallen.

To be honest, Gu Chen had never seen it before, but everyone was already cleaning up the scene and preparing to return, so Gu Chen hurriedly packed the flowers into a small evidence collection bag, and then left with everyone.

Follow the people from the technical department to the laboratory.

Gao Chuanfeng and Liu forensic doctor immediately started testing the residues of beer in cans found around Dong Aiping.

Not long after, Dong Fang from Dongjia Village and several other villagers brought a middle-aged woman to the technical department.

The woman was crying, making the quiet aisle suddenly lively.

Gu Chen looked at the testing platform, and then said, "I'll go outside and have a look."

"I'll go too." Lu Weiwei followed closely behind.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman was crying and asking, "Where is my husband? Where is he? This heartless man didn't go home for a few days, why did he disappear? Woohoo."

"Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, I'll help you find out about the situation." Dong Fang was also anxious, but he had never been to the Technical Division of the Municipal Bureau.

I don't know who to turn to here.

Fortunately, Gu Chen just came out of the testing room and met Dong Fang face to face.

Only then did Dong Fang beckon and say, "Officer Gu."

"Uncle Dong." Gu Chen stepped forward.

"What's going on? Why did Dong Aiping appear in Xiangshan Lake Park? We haven't been able to contact him these days."

"I don't know either. It was only this morning that we found Dong Aiping in the woods after we received the police from the masses."

Gu Chen was also at a loss.

Logically speaking, Dong Aiping should have disappeared a few days ago, but it is too strange to find him in the woods now.

What's even more strange is that Gu Chen can deduce the time of Dong Aiping's death to around 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

That is to say, before 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dong Aiping was still alive, so where did he go before this time?

"Woooo."

Just as Gu Chen was thinking, Dong Aiping's wife suddenly burst into tears: "This heartless person, why did he leave so suddenly, how will I live in the future? He is a heartless person, woohoo."

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and asked Dong Fang, "Who is this?"

"Oh, he is the wife of Dong Aiping, the village head, and his name is He Lili." Dong Fang looked at He Lili, and introduced to her, "Sister-in-law, this is Gu Chen, the leader of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch, who helped us contact Watermelon last time." He is also the sales channel."

"Officer Gu, you have to make the decision for me. He just left and left me alone. Do you think he still has a conscience?"

He Lili cried so loudly that the whole corridor echoed.

Because when Gu Chen contacted Dong Fang before, he told him the problems found on the scene, including the "suicide note" that Gu Chen found in Dong Aiping's wallet.

Therefore, He Lili was also filled with grief and indignation.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen hurriedly found the suicide note wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag from his body, unfolded it carefully, and showed it to Dong Fang and He Lili for confirmation: "This was found in Dong Aiping's wallet. I have never seen Dong Aiping. The village chief's note, so please identify it, both of you."

"Let me take a look." Seeing that it was a suicide note, Dong Fang hurriedly lowered his head to look it up.

He Lili also squinted her eyes, and her brows could not help but frown slightly.

After the two identified each other, they both nodded and said almost in unison: "That's right, it's his handwriting."

"So, Dong Aiping really committed suicide?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "But there is no need to just commit suicide, right? There is a problem that can be actively resolved, and there is no need to use this negative way to get rid of the problem, right? "

Gu Chen saw that there seemed to be something wrong here, so he asked He Lili: "Ms. He, what is your husband's situation?"

"He...he's just nice." He Lili took the tissue from Gu Chen and couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "My husband was playing cards in the urban area before, and he lost hundreds of thousands in one night. At that time, he had no money. To pay off the debt, we will negotiate, and we will pay after we sell all the melons in the field.”

"But I don't know why he wants to commit suicide now. Obviously, the watermelons in Dong's Village are already sold. If you get the money, can't you just pay off the previous debt?"

"That is to say...Dong Aiping committed suicide because he couldn't pay off his debts?" Gu Chen combined with the content of the suicide note and contacted the recent situation of unsalable watermelons in Dongjia Village, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Indeed, according to what He Lili said, Dong Aiping could wait until the watermelons were sold before paying off the creditor's money.

But it's good now, seeing that the sales of watermelons are outstanding, but why did he choose to end his life at this time?

Normal people wouldn't do that, would they?

Lu Weiwei also saw Gu Chen's curiosity, and asked Gu Chen: "So, Junior Brother Gu, do you think there is something wrong with Dong Aiping's death?"

"There must be a problem, and there is a big problem."

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Gao Chuanfeng just came out of the testing room. After meeting Gu Chen, he said directly: "We detected a big problem in that beer can."

Glancing at Dong Fang, He Lili, and other Dongjia Village villagers in front of him, Gao Chuanfeng was speechless.

"It's okay, you can talk about it here." Gu Chen said.

Gao Chuanfeng nodded slightly, and said: "That's fine, I'll tell the truth, the can you found from the deceased Dong Aiping contained a lot of potassium cyanide."

"Furthermore, we checked the deceased's mouth and found that the deceased's mouth also contained a high concentration of potassium cyanide residues. The fingerprints on the cans were also extracted. They belonged to the deceased Dong Aiping, and no other fingerprints were found."

"Potassium cyanide?" Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen frowned deeply with the word "Chuan".

This is a highly toxic substance. Gu Chen can hardly imagine why Dong Aiping chose to commit suicide when the watermelon was about to sell out.

Logically speaking, he should take the money to repay the debt, and there is no need to be so pessimistic.

He Lili didn't quite understand, so she asked Gu Chen, "Officer Gu, what is potassium cyanide?"

"Potassium cyanide is a highly toxic substance." Gu Chen looked up at her and said involuntarily, "If potassium cyanide is inhaled, taken orally or transdermally absorbed, it can cause acute poisoning, and taking 50-100mg of it can cause sudden death."

"That is to say, my husband died after taking this highly toxic substance?" He Lili looked dazed and hopeless.

Forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng nodded silently.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded and said, "Judging from the current symptoms, Mr. Dong Aiping was indeed killed by potassium cyanide poisoning, because we found a high concentration of potassium cyanide residue in his mouth."

"The potassium cyanide is consistent with the potassium cyanide detected in the cans of beer. Therefore, we tentatively conclude that Dong Aiping died of potassium cyanide poisoning. As for the truth, you sign the agreement and we can start immediately. Autopsy."

"Woohoo." He Lili cried again when she heard that her husband's body was going to be dissected: "How did this happen? Why did he do this? Why can't we wait a few more days?"

The crying in the corridor was still loud.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei and Dong Fang went to comfort him.

Police Officer Wang walked up to Gu Chen and asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, the cause of death has been confirmed, but do you think things are a little weird?"

"Are you talking about debt repayment?" Gu Chen knew what Police Officer Wang wanted to say.

Police Officer Wang nodded silently, and also said flatly: "Obviously in a few days, the watermelons in the village will be selling well. Why did he commit suicide because he couldn't pay off the debt?"

"Besides, when we came to the Furong branch that day, we all met each other."

"In the situation at that time, he should be very clear that our Furong branch will help Dongjia Village solve the problem of watermelon sales."

"But he suddenly disappeared at that time. Until we returned to Dongjia Village with Gua Nong, Dong Aiping still didn't show up."

"What happened before and after this seems to be so incomprehensible."

Of course Police Officer Wang couldn't understand it, and Gu Chen couldn't understand it at the same time.

Although the suicide note seemed to be written by Dong Aiping, the reason for suicide was a bit too far-fetched.

Judging by the standard of taking care of Chen, it seems that this suicide note was not written by Dong Aiping at all.

Gu Chen looked up at Police Officer Wang and Gao Chuanfeng, and asked, "Are there any other problems detected?"

Gao Chuanfeng shrugged: "Everything that should be checked has been checked, do you still have it on you?"

"On me?" Gu Chen suddenly remembered something.

Before leaving, Gu Chen once found a strange creature under Dong Aiping's body.

Since Gu Chen didn't know them too well, after taking pictures to collect evidence, he temporarily put the flowers into a transparent evidence collection bag.

Thinking about it at this moment, Gu Chen hurriedly handed a small transparent evidence collection bag to Gao Chuanfeng from his pocket.

"What is this?" Gao Chuanfeng asked.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't know either, but it was found on the lawn under Dong Aiping's body. I want to ask if you know?"

"I don't know, what is this?" Gao Chuanfeng looked around with the transparent evidence collection bag, but he was also confused.

Then Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also came over to find out.

However, the two had never seen such a creature.

Seeing Gu Chen turn his gaze to him again, Police Officer Wang quickly shook his head: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything about such flowers and plants."

"Let me see." Just when everyone was at a loss, Dong Fang stepped forward and volunteered.

Gu Chen pinched the corner of the evidence collection bag, Liang asked in front of Dong Fang: "Uncle Dong, take a good look, do you know this flower?"

"It seems... I have a little impression." Dong Fang was stunned for a while, and moved his eyes closer again.

After a while, he finally said: "I remember, it's called... Ye Lixiang."

"Evening Fragrance?" Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said in unison.

"Yes, it's the evening primrose, and its kind of evening primrose is still very common in our Jiangnan City." Looking up at Gu Chen, Dong Fang also asked with a puzzled expression: "So Officer Gu, is this evening primrose you are in?" Found it in the woods?"

"No." Gu Chen crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "I have searched carefully around the place where Dong Aiping died, and I have never seen this kind of plant."

"But I did find this flower on the lawn under Dong Aiping's body, and it was still attached to his back."

Thinking about the interesting name, Gu Chen continued to ask: "By the way, Uncle Dong, the name of this flower is very strange. Is there anything special about it?"

"What's special?" Dong Fang was stunned, and then said with a smile, "I don't know too much about this, but all I know is that this evening primrose mostly grows in woodland or bushes, and likes warmth, humidity, and sunshine. A well-ventilated environment."

"Because this kind of flower is resistant to cold and barren, but not waterlogging, it will bear fruit in winter, but the temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees."

"You know things so well?" Gu Chen was curious for a moment.

Dong Fang waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I've been in the flower business for a while, but I lost a lot of money in the end."

"But I still have a little impression of the characteristics of this plant."

Hearing that Dong Fang knew exactly when Ye Laixiang would bear fruit, Gu Chen also admired it from the bottom of his heart.

But after thinking about it, Gu Chen asked again: "By the way, what are the characteristics of this flower? Why is it called this name?"

"That's right, I wanted to ask just now, but the name feels a bit weird." Lu Weiwei followed suit.

I think the name sounds nice, is there any other meaning?
Dong Fang looked at the tuberose in his hand, and said involuntarily: "This flower also has its own characteristics. The flowering period of tuberose is actually very long, and it blooms successively from May to October."

"And this tuberose, which blooms at night, has a strong fragrance, but the flowers will wither the next morning."

"Blooms at night and fades during the day?" Yuan Shasha was stunned, but she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then this is too weird, isn't it?"

"Aren't there many strange things in nature?" Although Gu Chen found it strange, he still asked humbly, "By the way, why do these flowers bloom at night and die during the day?"

"It's very simple, because in the dark night, the evening primrose relies on its strong fragrance to attract moths to visit, and the purpose is to deliver pollen to it."

"So, tuberose blooming at night is an adaptation to the environment."

"It's interesting." Hearing what Dong Fang said, Gu Chen understood the basic characteristics of Ye Lixiang.

Sure enough, the flower is as its name suggests, and it is worthy of being an alternative among flowers.

But at this moment, Gu Chen suddenly remembered something again, his face froze suddenly, feeling as if he had missed an important detail.
