Thirteen deadly sins

Chapter 5
One day, I drank some wine at a food stall on the street.Xia Jianfeng told me that he brought an apprentice named Luo Zhe, who is now the deputy captain of their criminal investigation team.The reason why this apprentice was accepted at the beginning was because when this young man first entered the public security system and was assigned to work in the archives department, he cleverly solved an unsolved case 13 years ago with a roll of dusty files on the file rack.As soon as I heard about the case, I quickly threw him a cigarette and asked him to explain it to me in detail.

1
After graduating from the police academy, my father made a lot of connections and finally "plugged" Luo Zhe into the public security system.

Luo Zhe's ideal is to be a criminal policeman, to eliminate violence and keep the people safe, how majestic that is.But after reporting to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the leader said that young people should practice more.With a wave of his hand, he was assigned to the archives department.

The archives department is on the top floor of the 8th floor of the city bureau office building. The head of the department, Lao Cai, has gray hair and is close to retirement.The other colleagues in the department were all masters who were indifferent to each other. When they came to report in the morning, they disappeared. Only Lao Cai and Luo Zhe, newcomers, were left sitting face to face in the narrow office.

Being extremely bored, in order to pass the eight hours of working time, Luo Zhe began to look through the rolls of dusty files on the file shelf.

At first, I just casually flipped through it, but later I found that there are many case detection files, which are full of suspense, thrilling twists and turns, and the level of excitement is no less than a wonderful detective novel.

What interests him the most is the files stored on the No. 24 file shelf.

They were all archival materials of "unsolved cases" that could not be solved due to various reasons.Flipping through these files is like reading reasoning puzzles without answers, which is both alert and thought-provoking.It was the volumes of old and interesting files that made him gradually feel at ease in this small and boring file room.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

On this day, Luo Zhe went to his girlfriend's house for dinner, and accidentally saw a copy of "Xiu Lin" magazine on his girlfriend's younger brother's desk.This is a popular literature magazine sponsored by the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles. When Luo Zhe was in high school, he published several short stories on it.Flipping through it casually, he found that the serial column above was publishing his favorite mystery novels, so he sat in the study and started reading.

When Luo Zhe finished reading this unending serial novel entitled "Mystery Killing", he couldn't help being surprised.

The content of this novel is not complicated. It tells the story of a man named A who accidentally discovered that his wife B's breasts had been "bitten" by other men. She fell in love with a rich man named C outside. The location of B and C's tryst every time is in Room 1809 on the [-]th floor of D Hotel. A decides to kill C to regain his wife's heart, but the murder must be done neatly and without anyone noticing, neither can let his wife realize that he did it, let alone make the police suspect him.After a period of careful planning, he finally began to implement his own murder plan.

After finishing everything, A came to the barren hill behind the D Hotel and observed the scene of the tryst between his wife and his lover in room 1809 of the hotel with a high-powered telescope.Because the floor is high, when B and C meet, they never draw the curtains, and sometimes they even purposely lie on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window to make love in pursuit of excitement.As usual, in order not to arouse suspicion, B and C finished their ups and downs, B went into the bathroom to take a shower, put on his clothes, and left alone first. C lay naked on the bed, finished smoking a cigarette, waited for about ten minutes, and then left alone.But this time, when he finished smoking and stood up to leave, he suddenly covered his chest with his hands, vomited blood, and fell down in pain...

After the incident, the police investigation found that the C series potassium cyanide poisoning died, and based on the time of death, it was speculated that the time of poisoning should be after he entered the hotel room.After verification, only C and B were in the room during this time.However, after careful investigation and analysis by the police using technical means, the possibility of B poisoning was basically ruled out.In the entire hotel room, there was no evidence of poisoning, and there were no clues at all.The case became unsolved.

The serialization of the novel ends here.

The author of the novel, Jin Tiansan, attached an advertisement at the end of the novel, saying that he wanted to know how husband A killed his wife’s lover C, and successfully escaped the police’s detection. Please pay attention to the next serialization.

The plot of the novel is not surprising. What surprised Luo Zhe was not the case itself, but the author's description of the circumstances of the deceased C's death:
This is a luxurious room, in which there is a pure black antique carved bed with a big red gold silk printed bed cover, a frame of "Beauty and the Beast" engraved with black borders on the head of the bed, and a green bed on the bedside table. There is a bouquet of white roses in a vase, a row of brown leather sofas are placed against the wall, and a pot of green Brazilian wood is placed beside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. C's upper body was lying on the bed, his lower body was curled up on the hibiscus white wool carpet, his left hand was on the phone on the bedside table, as if he wanted to call for help, dark red blood spewed from his nasal cavity. C twitched a few times suddenly, and then stayed there in this posture...

Luo Zhe is sure that he has definitely seen this bizarre death scene in any file on the No. 24 file rack in the file room of the Public Security Bureau.

After having lunch at his girlfriend's house, Luo Zhe immediately rushed back to work and searched carefully on the No. 24 file rack.Finally, he found the file of the Xiulin Hotel murder case that impressed him deeply.

This is a murder that happened 13 years ago.

That night, the police received a report that a person had died in Xiulin Hotel.Xiulin Hotel is located at the foot of Xiulin Mountain. It is a four-star hotel.When the police arrived, they found that a man had died in Room 12 on the 1209th floor of the hotel.

Judging from the photos taken at the scene, it is a very luxuriously decorated guest room, with a large black carved bed, a big red bed cover, a decorative painting from "Beauty and the Beast", a green vase, and white roses, more than 1 meter high The brazilian potted plant, and the naked dead man who is half lying on the bed and half curled up on the carpet, stretching his hand towards the telephone... This scene is actually similar to that of the mystery novelist named Jin Tiansan in "Mystery Killing" Exactly as described.

According to the archives, the name of the deceased was Zhu Guihua, 30 years old, the boss of the Xiulin Clothing Company, and the assets under his name exceeded tens of millions.The deceased died of potassium cyanide poisoning.According to the investigation, Zhu Guihua checked into Room 7 at the hotel at 1209:9 p.m., and then a woman surnamed Zhuo came to his room and stayed there until around 10:1209 p.m.Because Zhu Guihua is a frequent guest of Xiulin Hotel, the hotel manager knows that he has a close relationship with the woman surnamed Zhuo, and has also mastered Zhu Guihua's rules. Go downstairs and check out.But that day, it was almost [-] o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't seen him coming downstairs yet.The manager felt a little strange, so he sent a waitress to Room [-] to call the door.After calling for a long time but no one answered, I went to the front desk and took the room key to open the door, only to find that Zhu Guihua was bleeding from the nostrils and had died in the room, so I called the police immediately.

According to forensic analysis, the time of Zhu Guihua's death was around 9:9 p.m.During this period of time, he has been with the woman surnamed Zhuo.So the woman surnamed Zhuo became the biggest suspect in the case.But after the police found the woman surnamed Zhuo, although she admitted that she had been with Zhu Guihua that night, she categorically denied that she committed poisoning to kill.

Later, when the police searched the guest room again, they found two very concealed miniature cameras in the room, so they followed the clues and found out the man in the hotel who had no wife and secretly installed cameras in luxury rooms to spy on male and female guests. Middle-aged electrician.And every move of Zhu Guihua and the woman surnamed Zhuo in room 1209 that afternoon was clearly captured by two cameras.

The police checked the video data captured by the camera and found that after entering the room, Zhu Guihua and the woman surnamed Na Zhuo only drank the tea provided by the hotel and did not eat anything else.If that woman wanted to poison Zhu Guihua, she could only throw potassium cyanide into the tea.However, after testing, no toxic substances were found in the remaining tea in the teapot.Moreover, the woman surnamed Zhuo has also drank the tea, if it is poisonous, she must not be spared.Most importantly, under the full monitoring of the two cameras, no suspicious poisoning actions by the woman surnamed Zhuo were found.In other words, Zhu Guihua was poisoned to death after entering Room 1209, but the poisoner was not the woman surnamed Zhuo who was with him.

After the suspicion of the woman surnamed Zhuo was ruled out, the police investigated some more people, but did not find any useful clues.Later, because new cases occurred in the urban area, the police had to put the case aside.Unexpectedly, this release is 13 years.

If the plot similarity between the novel "Mystery Killing" and this case is only due to the author's fictional coincidence, then the striking similarity between the novel and the description and records of the death scene in the archives is definitely not a "coincidence" Words can explain it.

Let’s look at the author of the novel "Mystery Killing" again. His name is Kinda San, which is obviously a pseudonym changed from the name of the detective Kindaichi written by the famous Japanese mystery novelist Henggou Masashi.

Could it be that the author fabricated this novel based on some media reports and rumors about the case more than ten years ago?

But the description of the death scene in the novel is real and delicate, and it is absolutely impossible for someone who has not been to the scene to personally write it.

However, according to the file records, only the hotel manager, the waitress who found the deceased, and the electrician were the only ones who had been to the scene of the crime. They could also observe the situation in the room through the camera.Other than that, there are only police officers.

Could it be that Jin Tiansan, who wrote novels, was among these people?
Luo Zhe continued to check the files, and suddenly found that the name of their section chief, Lao Cai, was on the list of criminal police investigating the case.

Luo Zhe knew that Lao Cai was an excellent criminal policeman in his early years, and was later demoted to the archives department because he used violence to beat a rapist to serious injury during the handling of the case and was punished.

He rushed to ask Lao Cai.

After Lao Cai heard him tell the ins and outs of the matter, it took him a long time to tell him that he was deeply impressed by this case.When the police arrived at the hotel, they immediately sealed off the scene. Apart from the police, there were indeed only two people who went to the scene of the crime, plus an electrician who was peeping with a camera.The electrician died of cancer shortly after the case came out.The manager left the country after the hotel closed down.As for the waitress, she only had an elementary school education, and it is said that she was recruited into the hotel on the basis of her relationship. With her level, it is definitely impossible to write novels.

Luo Zhe still didn't give up, and asked if it was written by a police colleague who was involved in handling the case at the time?

Lao Cai curled his lips and said, I know the details of those guys best. It's okay to ask them to hold guns, but it's not that kind of material to ask them to hold pens.If you can't even write a summary, how can you write a novel?

Luo Zhe frowned and said, this is strange. Is it true that as this Jin Tiansan wrote, at the time of the crime, there was really a person peeping everything that happened in Room 1209 with a telescope from a distance?
The years have worn away Lao Cai's edges and corners. He has long since lost the drive he had when he was a criminal policeman. He yawned and said that he didn't need to think too much. Didn't you say that Jin Tiansan will reveal the answer in the next issue of the magazine?When the time comes to buy a magazine and read it, you will understand everything.

After his reminder, Luo Zhe suddenly remembered that the "Embroidery Forest" magazine he saw at his girlfriend's house was published last month. According to the magazine's publication cycle, this month's new magazine should have been published.

Luo Zhe hurriedly ran to the bookstore, bought a new issue of "Embroidered Forest" magazine published this month, and looked at the serial column, only to find that the "Mystery Killing" article was gone, replaced by Kaneda San A new long-form serialization of .There is a line of "Editor's Note" under the column: "Mystery Killing" has stopped serialization for some reason, please pay attention to the new reasoning work of the famous local reasoning writer Jin Tiansan.

His heart sank, knowing that there must be something strange in it.

Luo Zhe decided to meet Jin Tiansan, the author of this "Mystery Killing".

He found a female editor surnamed Zhang from the "Embroidered Forest" magazine.His previous novels were edited and published by her, and he was considered an acquaintance with her.

Luo Zhe went there in casual clothes. She didn't know that Luo Zhe had studied in the police academy, let alone that he became a policeman.

Luo Zhe just asked her to tell him Jin Tiansan's contact address and phone number as an ordinary Jin Tiansan fan.

Editor Zhang is an enthusiastic person, and he said that tonight I invited Jin Tiansan to have dinner at Juxianzhuang Restaurant, and talk about the manuscript by the way.How about I take you with me.

Naturally, Luo Zhe couldn't ask for more.

In the evening, Luo Zhe arrived at Juxianzhuang Restaurant in Editor Zhang's car.

Editor Zhang told him that Jin Tiansan is currently the hottest local reasoning writer in China.

After meeting, Luo Zhe knew that Jin Tiansan was just a fat man in his early twenties.

After Editor Zhang finished talking with him about the manuscript, Luo Zhe seized the opportunity to ask him: "Is it really you who wrote the novel "Mystery Killer?"

Jin Tiansan was displeased when he heard this, and he glared at him and said, "What do you mean? I can tell you responsibly that every one of my novels, no matter how long or short it is, is written word by word by me in front of the computer. It came out of the code."

Luo Zhe asked again: "Then why is the novel "Mystery Killed" no longer serialized?"

Jin Tiansan said: "I have basically completed the ending of this novel. But in line with the principle of being responsible to readers and striving for perfection, I still want to polish it, so I temporarily took another novel to top it."

Luo Zhe listened and stopped talking.

After eating, everyone got up and left.

When walking out of the hotel, Luo Zhe told Editor Zhang that he still wanted to go to a nearby bookstore, so he would not take her car back.

After she drove away, he immediately turned back to the hotel, stopped Jin Tiansan who had just come out of the bathroom, showed his police ID, and asked with a sullen face, "Kintiansan, let me ask you again, "Mystery Killer "This novel, did you write it?"

Jin Tiansan was taken aback, but immediately calmed down and said, "Of course I wrote it."

Luo Zhe grabbed his wrist and twisted it lightly, and the kid immediately changed his face from the pain.

Luo Zhe dragged him aside and said, "Some details of your novel involve a mysterious case that happened 13 years ago. People who haven't personally experienced this case can't write it at all. And 13 years ago, you didn't know much about it. It's just a kid in his teens. Just now, because Editor Zhang was by my side, I saved some face for you, so I didn't ask you. Now you still refuse to tell the truth?"

Jin Tiansan couldn't stand the pain, so he hurriedly said, "Let go, let me go, I said I said. After I become famous, I have to publish more than ten books a year. How can I be so busy? So most of the manuscripts are written by gunmen. .This "Mystery Killer" was also written by a gunman I met on QQ and passed it on to me, and published it under my name. I paid him a thousand words and a hundred yuan. The royalties of the book can probably get four to five hundred yuan for a thousand words, so there is still a lot of money to be made."

"Who is this shooter? Can you still contact him?"

"Contact shit, damn it, this kid cheated me, he only passed the first half of the manuscript to me, and said that the second half would be polished and then passed it on to me. Who knows that after the first half was published, he would never write it again." I couldn’t reach him on QQ, and I didn’t get a response when I sent an email, so I had to take another manuscript and upload it.”

"What's that person's name? Do you have his contact address and phone number?"

"We are all in contact with QQ. His online name is Pawadi, but I don't know what his real name is. He gave me an ICBC account. After the manuscript is published, I will transfer the manuscript fee he deserves to the account."

Luo Zhe saw that the kid was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he didn't seem to be lying, so he asked him for the account of "Fear Wadi" and let him go.

Although Luo Zhe took the gunman's account number, if he wanted to find his relevant information from the bank through the account number, the bank would not cooperate without going through normal judicial procedures.

Fortunately, one of the students his mother taught before happened to be the supervisor of Xiulin Branch of ICBC.

Luo Zhe found him, showed him his police ID, explained the situation and said a lot of good things to him, and he reluctantly printed a copy of the customer information for him.

The information shows that the account opening information of this account is as follows:
姓名：陆荣。地址：绣林市太平坊89号505房。电话：1304813207×。身份证号码：42108119××01130638。

Is this Lu Rong the one who "fears the tiles falling to the ground"?

Luo Zhe tried to dial the mobile phone number above, but it was shut down.

Fortunately, there are detailed addresses on it.

Luo Zhe decided to visit this "Fearing Wadi" in person.

No. 89 Taipingfang is an old gray building with seven floors.

After arriving there, Luo Zhe realized that it was a teacher's dormitory building, and all the teachers from the nearby No. [-] Middle School lived in it.

He climbed up to the fifth floor and found Room 505. After ringing the doorbell a few times, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out, with fair skin, stockings and short skirts, and a charming charm.

She looked Luo Zhe up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Luo Zhe took out his police ID and showed it to her, then said, "I'm looking for Lu Rong."

Her expression changed slightly, and she said, "He's dead."

"Dead?" Luo Zhe was startled, "How did he die? You are his..."

"I am his wife, and my surname is Zhuo. It has been more than half a month since he passed away."

"How did he die? Can you tell me about your husband?"

She frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Didn't your police come to investigate several times? How did he die? Even your police don't know. How can I know?" security door.

Luo Zhe went downstairs unwillingly, thinking that since Lu Rong's death had alerted the police, it must be an abnormal death.

He got on his motorcycle and came to the police station in the jurisdiction. After inquiring, he learned that the deputy head of the police station, Lao He, led a team to investigate Lu Rong's murder.

While smoking a cigarette, Lao He told him that Lu Rong is 42 years old this year. He was originally a creator of the cultural center. Later, the unit did not perform well, so he resigned and went home to write novels and freelance writing. stay home.Later, I was introduced by a cultural agent and started working as a gunman, writing manuscripts for others. After the manuscripts were written, they were signed and published under other people's names, and I got some manuscript fees myself.A few years later, he gradually gained some fame in the circle of cultural gunmen, and more and more people asked him to write manuscripts, and his income from manuscript fees was quite considerable.

Lu Rong's wife is Zhuo Yuting, a math teacher in No. 10 Middle School.General relationship between husband and wife.One night about half a month ago, someone found Lu Rong bleeding from his mouth and nose, and died on a bench behind the rockery in Jinpenshan Park.After forensic examination, he died of potassium cyanide poisoning.The time of death was around 10:20 to 9:9 that night, and the time when potassium cyanide entered the body through the esophagus was around 50:8 to 10:[-] in the evening.According to the police investigation, from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm that night, Lu Rong was with the maid at home, Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is a college student. Because his family's financial situation is not good, he wants to work as a housekeeper for two months during the summer vacation to earn some college living expenses.In the process of being a servant in the Lu family, I read some novels written by Lu Rong and admired Lu Rong's talent very much.Because Zhuo Yuting often gave extra lessons to the students in her class at home, it was inconvenient for the two of them to have an affair at home, so they decided to have a tryst at Jinpenshan Park not far from home.Behind the rockery in the park is a forest, where few people go and it is very secluded, and the two often hide on the benches there to have an affair.When Lu Rong was poisoned and died, the two were having a tryst.

Because only Xiaomi was with Lu Rong before his death, the police listed Xiaomi as a key suspect, but according to Xiaomi's confession, Lu Rong quietly invited her to the back of the rockery in the park that night, and the two sat and talked for a while After flirting for a while, Lu Rong lifted up her shirt, unbuttoned her bra, and pushed her down on the bench... Not long after the incident, Lu Rong suddenly collapsed on the bench with blood from her mouth and nose, very appalling.Xiaomi had never seen such a scene before, so scared he left him and stumbled out of the park.During the tryst between the two, Lu Rong only drank a bottle of mineral water he bought himself, but the police did not detect any toxic ingredients from the bottle of mineral water left at the scene.Xiaomi said that he did not poison Lu Rong, and during their tryst, no third person approached them.

Coincidentally, their tryst was filmed from beginning to end by a bored middle school student hiding in the grass with his mobile phone.When Xiaomi ran away in a panic and Lu Rong spewed blood and died on the bench, he realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly called the police on his mobile phone.Afterwards, the middle school student thought twice and handed over the video he took with his mobile phone to the police.After watching the video, the police found that from the beginning to the end, Xiaomi had no suspicious behavior of poisoning, and no one had approached them.In other words, Lu Rong was poisoned to death during the tryst, but the murderer was not Xiaomi, and there was no second suspect.

Luo Zhe asked, what about Zhuo Yuting?Could the murderer be her?
Lao He shook his head and said that we had investigated, and that she had been at home giving extra lessons to two students on the night of the incident, and never went downstairs at all.Because no clues have been found, the case was found here and ran aground.

After listening to Lao He's narration, Luo Zhe almost screamed out.

Lu Rong's death was very similar to Zhu Guihua's death 13 years ago.

He also died of poisoning during a tryst with his lover, and there was no trace of the murderer who poisoned him at the scene.

With such a similar modus operandi, could it be that the same murderer was responsible for the two murders that were separated by 13 years?

After Lu Rong's death, Xiaomi left the Lu family and no longer worked as a servant there.

When Luo Zhe found her, she was packing at home and preparing to return to the university campus early.

It should be said that Xiaomi is not a very beautiful girl, but her body is well developed. In the white shirt, two young and plump little rabbits are jumping out.

When Luo Zheliang revealed his identity, Xiaomi's face sank immediately, and he said in an unwelcoming tone: "You are interrogating me again? I have already confessed what should be confessed. I did not poison Lu Rong, and I don't know who did it." He is dead. If you ask a hundred times again, there will be no result."

Luo Zhe smiled and said, "No, I'm not here to investigate the case, I just want to invite you to drink tea."

She froze for a moment, glanced at him, and nodded silently.

They came to a nearby tea restaurant, Xiaomi ordered a cup of milk tea, and Luo Zhe ordered a cup of watermelon juice.

Luo Zhe said, can we chat while drinking?

Xiaomi said what do you want to talk about?
Luo Zhe said, "What do you think of Lu Rong?"

Xiaomi took a sip of milk tea and said, "He is a very talented person, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time and did not meet a good Bole, so throughout his life, he was just a gunman hiding behind others."

"anything else?"

"He is also a stingy person. He writes very fast. Although he is only a shooter, he still earns a lot of manuscript fees every month. But every manuscript fee is paid to his wife. I am not afraid of your jokes. He has been dating for so long, he has never bought me a gift. Sometimes I want to use cosmetics, he will go to his wife’s dressing room and steal his wife’s cosmetics for me to use, such as those perfumes, masks , cream, etc., when it was used up, he quietly put it back for his wife. I have never seen such a stingy person."

Hearing her say the word "cream protection", Luo Zhe's heart seemed to be touched by something, and his eyes involuntarily swept towards her bulging chest.Her face suddenly turned red.

Luo Zhe quickly looked back, and then asked: "Does his wife know about the relationship between you?"

"It's been less than a month since I had that kind of relationship with Lu Rong. Lu Rong said that his wife only knows how to make up lessons with those students all day long, so she probably didn't notice it."

Luo Zhe thought for a while, then asked again: "Do you think anything unusual happened before or after Lu Rong's death?"

Xiaomi shook his head and said, "No." After taking a sip of milk tea, he suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, there is one thing that I find quite strange. At first I thought it was haunted..." Speaking of which, But she hesitated to speak, her face was blushing, her gaze dropped to her chest.

Luo Zhe knew that this matter must be related to that part of her body, but he didn't care about the embarrassment, and asked: "What is it?"

Xiaomi's face turned even redder, her eyelashes drooped, and she whispered, "Lu Rong once told me that the most beautiful part of my body is... my breasts. Every time I go on a date, he will 'bite' me here. It was purple...Usually, I didn't feel anything unusual, but the time before his death, even though I went home and took a bath, my chest was sore and itchy, and I felt uncomfortable for several days. The doctor looked at it, but didn't see the reason. I thought it was haunted by Lu Rong's evil spirit. Fortunately, it will be fine in a few days..."

Luo Zhe couldn't help cheering up, staring at her and said: "What you said is true? After your last tryst, your chest was uncomfortable for several days?"

Xiaomi nodded slightly, and gave a shy "hmm".

Luo Zhe suddenly became excited, feeling that he seemed to be close to the truth of the matter.

After leaving the tea restaurant, he sent Xiaomi home, and then went to Lu Rong's home in Room 89, No. 505, Taipingfang.

After Zhuo Yuting opened the door, before she could speak, Luo Zhe squeezed in through the crack of the door.

She said sullenly, "Why are you again? What do you want to do? Can the police break into houses?"

Luo Zhe ignored her, looked around, saw a computer on the desk in the study, and asked, "Is that your husband's computer?"

"No, that's my computer," she said.

Luo Zhe asked, "Where is your husband's computer?"

"It's sold," she said.

"Sold it? Why did you sell it? Who did you sell it to?"

"That computer has been used for many years, it's very old, and it's useless to keep it, so when I was cleaning up my husband's belongings, I sold it to outsiders who bought old appliances on the street on a tricycle." Zhuo Yuting seemed to be challenging. Glancing at him, he said, "Don't worry, the police have turned on the computer and checked it, and there are no suspicious files in it, so I sold it."

Luo Zhe stared at her and said, "I don't know why, but you gave me the impression that you don't want the police to solve the case as soon as possible and find out who poisoned your husband."

"It's not that I don't want it, it's that your ability to handle things really disappoints me. It was obviously that vixen Xiaomi who murdered my husband in order to get rid of her entanglement with her, but your police just let her go. I still What do you expect to find out?"

Luo Zhe ignored her, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Lao He, the deputy head of the local police station, and asked him if they had checked Lu Rong's computer after Lu Rong's death?

Lao He said that he checked and found no valuable clues, and just in case, the police also copied all the data in Lu Rong's computer with a mobile hard disk.

Luo Zhe hurriedly said that you should look it up for me to see if there is a novel called "Mystery Killing" in it.Moreover, he was also afraid that Lu Rong used different titles when writing and publishing the manuscript, so he deliberately mentioned a few key words in the novel and asked them to search.

A few minutes later, Lao He said that he could not find this novel from Lu Rong's computer data.

When talking on the phone with Lao He, Luo Zhe kept observing Zhuo Yuting's expression.

He found that when he said the word "Mystery Killer", there was an imperceptible look of panic on her face that had been pretending to be calm.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhe stared at Zhuo Yuting for half a minute before saying calmly: "Mr. Zhuo, do you feel a little surprised that I can tell the title of the novel "Mystery Killing"?"

Zhuo Yuting didn't dare to look at him, she looked away and said, "Why am I surprised? I don't understand what you mean at all."

Luo Zhe suddenly raised his voice and said, "No, you understand. What I want to say is that the person who poisoned Lu Rong was not Xiaomi, but his wife—you Zhuo Yuting."

Zhuo Yuting suddenly laughed, and said, "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. On the night my husband was poisoned, I spent the whole night at home giving lessons to my students, and I didn't even leave the gate. In this regard, my students You can testify to me."

Luo Zhe took a step closer, stared at her closely and said, "Although you have proof that you were not at the scene when the crime happened, it cannot absolutely prove that you are innocent. You have dissolved potassium cyanide powder in your own skin care cream, and the skin care cream After the cream was stolen by Lu Rong and used by Xiaomi, the potassium cyanide adhered to her breasts. When Lu Rong had a tryst with Xiaomi, he kissed and even bit her breasts passionately, and naturally absorbed the potassium cyanide. into the mouth."

Zhuo Yuting sneered and said, "To be honest, Mr. Police, I admire your ability to make assumptions out of thin air. I get along well with my husband. Although Xiaomi is involved, I believe my husband is only temporarily confused by her. Wait for that little fox After the summer vacation is over and he leaves, he will naturally calm down and return to this family. Am I worthy of going to such great lengths to poison and kill a man because of an unintentional derailment?"

Luo Zhe said coldly: "No, you want to kill him not because he cheated, but to avenge your lover Zhu Guihua who poisoned you 13 years ago."

Zhuo Yuting seemed to have received a heavy punch in the chest, her whole body was shaken, and her expression changed: "What? You, what did you say?"

Luo Zhe paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said unhurriedly: "13 years ago, you and your old lover Zhu Guihua met unexpectedly, the old relationship rekindled, and soon they got together very hotly. Lu Rong From the inexplicable hickey marks on your chest, he noticed that you were cheating, and finally decided to kill Zhu Guihua quietly and let you return to him. He found that every time you had a tryst with Zhu Guihua, there was a wound on your chest So I dissolved potassium cyanide in your usual skin care cream. When you put the skin care cream on your chest, it is equivalent to putting poison on your chest. Zhu Guihua kissed your chest in the hotel room chest, naturally inhaled the poison into his mouth. But the dose was not large, and he died after ten minutes. Lu Rong hid on the Xiulin Mountain behind the hotel with a telescope and witnessed Zhu Guihua's death with his own eyes. The case, because the police could not find any strong clues, finally became an unsolved case.”

"In a blink of an eye, 13 years have passed. Lu Rong has done a seamless case. While he is complacent, he also has a trace of regret. It is like a great artist who has completed a perfect work of art, but can only hide it." At home, he can’t show it to others. After more than ten years of backlog, maybe he has run out of creative materials, so he decided to write his own experience into a mystery novel. Of course, the plot in the novel has passed through his art. After handling it, it was difficult to see the prototype of the case, and it was published under someone else's name, so he didn't have any worries. But the details of Zhu Guihua's death scene he peeped through the telescope were deeply engraved in his mind so that it is unknowingly reproduced completely and truthfully in the novel."

"But it was the death scene in the novel, which was almost exactly the same as that in the files of the unsolved case 13 years ago, that caught my attention...Of course, this novel also caught the attention of another person, that is you. You and I am different, what I read is only the first half of the published novel, but you secretly read the whole novel on his computer, after reading the puzzle part, you know how the husband A in the novel kills It belongs to C, the lover of the dead wife. With your wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that this novel is actually a story written by Lu Rong that happened to you. From this, you finally know how your beloved lover died. I have already investigated, you and Zhu Guihua are college classmates, fell in love on the university campus, and then broke up due to various reasons. When you met again, after the rekindling of the old relationship, you fell in love very much. After Zhu Guihua died, you were sad for a long time. Now that you know the truth, the first thing you think of is not to call the police, but to decide to kill Lu Rong yourself to avenge your lover."

"At this moment, you found out about the affair between Lu Rong and Xiaomi, you found out the hard-to-cover hickey on Xiaomi's chest, you found out that your husband stole your own cosmetics for Xiaomi to use, so you gave back to him the same way, A bottle of poisoned body care cream makes Xiaomi's breasts your 'weapon' for murdering your husband."

"As soon as Lu Rong died, you immediately deleted the "Mystery Killing" article in his computer. Although the police checked Lu Rong's computer afterwards, it was just a routine matter. After reading the files inside, it was over. But you But you are afraid that the police will come to check the computer again after they are aware of it. It is not difficult for the computer experts of the police to recover a deleted file in the computer. So you simply sold the computer. "

"Potassium cyanide has little effect on the human body when it comes into contact with the skin, as long as it does not touch the wound, and the amount is well controlled. But even though Xiaomi went back to take a bath, he still felt some discomfort in his chest. It was this that made me think There is a new clue in the case. Following this clue, we finally found the murderer who poisoned Lu Rong—that is his wife, you Zhuo Yuting!"

After hearing this, Zhuo Yuting's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly screamed loudly: "You, you spout blood and talk nonsense, these are all your unfounded conjectures and reasoning... I didn't kill anyone, I didn't know you were Say what……"

Luo Zhe said: "Do you want evidence? Don't think that if you throw away the poisonous bottle of body cream and sell Lu Rong's computer, the police will not find evidence of your murder. I will immediately send this When the case is reported to the Municipal Bureau, the Municipal Bureau will immediately set up a task force to investigate Lu Rong's murder case and Zhu Guihua's case 13 years ago. Once the police act, you are fighting alone, but we have a huge The state dictatorship machine is following you. We will quickly find the foreign worker who bought your computer through the investigation of the foreign population. No matter where he sold the computer, we can get it back. As long as you get the computer, The files you delete can be recovered, and the computer experts of the police can also find out that the files were deleted after Lu Rong's death and before the computer was sold based on the operation traces left by you. Also, Now that the government is so strict about the management of dangerous chemical substances, how did you get the potassium cyanide you used, whether you got it from someone with money or bought it from the Internet, we will soon be able to figure it out... Your sophistry , your stubborn resistance is just a waste of police time, but it is only a waste of time. According to the clues in our hands, it is only a matter of time before we can figure out the whole thing..."

Zhuo Yuting's psychological defense was completely defeated by his righteous words and incisive reasoning.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her legs went limp, and she slumped down on the sofa, covering her face with her hands and weeping: "Why? Why did the police have no control over why he killed people? I want to avenge Guihua, but you all know it so soon. What? My God, why is that?"
