The Book of Death by Heart Poison

The business of "Liujia Rice Noodles" is better during the day than at night. As the evening approaches, diners flock in an endless stream. The shop can't seat so many people, and the air inside is not good. Many people sit on the empty dam outside the shop and eat their meals—here In the back street, the city management turned a blind eye and didn't care much.

The police car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Hua Chong led the two team members over.

The boss's voice can be heard from twenty meters away, loud and hearty.Hua Chong is a former sniper, his eyesight is horribly good, and he subconsciously looked into the crowd, but he couldn't see the boy who was walking around with the bowls and chopsticks at night.

The one delivering the food and cleaning the table was a middle-aged woman with thinning hair pulled back, and the other was a young man wearing flamboyant earrings, looking like a country non-mainstream.

The boss personally delivered braised yak meat to a table, turned around and saw Hua Chong, smiled and shouted: "Hey, here we come again!"

After finishing speaking, he found that Hua Chong was still following people, and the boss's face became even more festive, "Are you bringing people to eat? Come and sit, come and sit!"

Pei Qing didn't wear the special forces uniform today, she changed into a suit, and Haizi scolded her for "pretending" during the morning meeting.

His attire is not on the same channel as "Liu Family Rice Noodles". In the eyes of the boss, he is a "rich family" who came from afar, so he should treat him well.

The stool was not very clean, and in the time Pei Qing wiped it, Hua Chong had already ordered three servings of rice noodles.

The person who came to pick up the menu was a non-mainstream man, Hua Chongshun asked, "Do you work here?"

In the catering industry, most of them can talk about it. Although non-mainstream men try their best to look cool, they really don't become cool.As soon as Hua Chong asked, he grinned and said in a half-baked Mandarin: "Yes, earn a little money. According to Uncle Liu, you have been here before? Tsk, why haven't I seen it?"

Hua Chong: "I came last night, you and that eldest sister are not here."

"Oh!" The man suddenly realized: "No wonder. We work the day shift, and change the eggplant at night."

"Xiaoqie?" Hua Chongshun said: "He also works here? Will the salary be higher at night?"

"No." The man waved his hand, "Xiao Qie is working for nothing, I am richer than him."

Hua Chong was puzzled: "Huh?"

The rice noodles were served quickly, and the man brought all three bowls, sat down and said, "I'm an outsider, and the salary and bonus are all negotiated seriously. Xiaojia is Uncle Liu's youngest son. He is helping the family." work."

Hua Chong recalled what he saw at night, the young man really didn't look like the boss' son.

"Where's that one?" Hua Chong motioned to the middle-aged woman with his eyes.

"That's Uncle Liu's sister, they are all a family." The man shook his body restlessly, and said in a low voice, "But if you want me to say, Uncle Liu is really eccentric."

When Hua Chong was in the Los Angeles Serious Crime Squad, he handled any case by himself. He was very good at chatting with the people, and lowered his voice, "How do you say it?"

It happened that there were no new guests at this time, so the man quickly glanced at the stove, "A bowl of water is not flat, the eldest daughter is a treasure, but the youngest son is not a treasure? Xiaoli can go to college, and Xiaoqi has to work at home If my old man wants to be like this, I will definitely give him a good look, that is, Xiaoqie has a soft personality. You say a man, how can he be so soft..."

The man rambled on for a long time, but Hua Chong thought about the word "soft personality".

The boy is by no means soft-tempered, nor is he submissive, but hides his emotions in his heart.

Such a person is, in a sense, a ticking time bomb.

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was called by the middle-aged woman to wipe the table aside.

"Call the boss over now?" Pei Qing asked.

The special operations team already knew about the boy's appearance in "Village Love". If the current clues can't explain anything, but Shi Limiao came to "Liu's Rice Noodles", and the boy went to Qishu Town to find Shi Limiao. The deeper the intersection between them, the greater the suspicion on the young man.

"Don't worry." Hua Chong said, "Eat rice noodles first."

Pei Qing sat upright.

Xu Xiaozhou said: "What are you doing?"

Pei Qing: "I usually don't eat this kind of roadside stall. It's not clean, and it's not nutritious. Look at this table, there are grease stains on it, and these chopsticks..."

Hua Chongchong nodded to Xu Xiaozhou, "Let's eat."

Xu Xiaozhou was very cooperative. He picked up the rice noodles and put them in his mouth. After swallowing, his eyes glowed, "Flower team, this is too delicious!"

Hua Chong: "That's right. Brother Xiaoliu and I added a portion of meat last night. It's going to be hard work for a while, so eat more."

Pei Qing: "..."

If Haizi was here, he would have already quarreled with him because of what he said just now.This kind of thing has happened countless times, and every time he "reluctantly" and "reluctantly" ate clean.

However, Hua Chong is not Haizi.

Ren Huachong didn't talk nonsense with him at all.

Pei Qing swallowed her saliva, smelling the aroma of the marinade, her empty stomach screamed, her right hand was about to pick up the chopsticks, but was held by her left hand.

Left hand: No, you don't want to.

Hua Chong made a quick decision, and gave Pei Qing a funny look after eating.

Pei Qing couldn't hold back anymore.

Xu Xiaozhou stood up and sang the song he adapted: "Who is hungry and warms the loneliness..."

Pei Qing: "..."

Hua Chong's leadership is quite popular, and one of his performances is that although he can amuse the team members, he won't really make them starve.

"I'll go in and talk to the boss." Hua Chong said with a smile: "You don't have to follow, just sit here and watch for me. The shift time is coming soon, and that little eggplant might arrive soon."

Xu Xiaozhou followed Hua Chong, and he didn't forget to turn his head after walking a few steps, "Who is hungry!"

Pei Qing mouthed him and scolded him: "Get lost!"

After scolding, follow the ladder given by the leader, and "reluctantly" pick up the chopsticks.

Knowing that Hua Chong is a criminal policeman, the boss was startled. He stopped cooking the rice noodles and cut the yak meat. He quickly asked a middle-aged woman to replace him and asked nervously, "We didn't do anything wrong, did we?"

"No, I want to ask you about someone." Hua Chong found Shi Limiao's photo from his phone, "Have you seen her?"

The boss leaned closer to the phone, looked at it for about 3 seconds, and raised his eyebrows, "I've seen it before! She came several times! The first time was during the day, with a group of people, and then she came alone."

Hua Chong asked: "Then it was night?"

The boss is sure, "Yes!"

This statement is consistent with He Ye's confession. The "group of people" mentioned by the boss should be He Ye and his friends.

Xu Xiaozhou asked: "Can you call out the surveillance camera and let me have a look?"

The boss rubbed his apron, "This..."

Hua Chong glanced at the top of the wall, and knew what the boss was hesitating about.

There's no surveillance in this place at all.

Outside the store is an alley, which is not directly connected, and there are smaller alleys on both sides. Only the alley leading to the main road has an old-fashioned surveillance camera.

"It's not easy to install surveillance in a store like ours. Most of the people who come here are neighbors who don't like surveillance." After explaining, the boss asked: "What's wrong with this girl?"

Hua Chong said, "Killed."

The boss opened his mouth wide.

Hua Chong has excellent observation skills, and can see at a glance that the boss's surprise at this time has a hint of fear. This is not a fear of the "murder case" itself, but a fear that he is inextricably linked to the murder case.

"Xiao Qie has a good relationship with her?" Hua Chong asked suddenly.

The boss's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said almost without thinking, "Who said that? Impossible, Liu Mengga has never seen her before."

As soon as the words fell, the boss suddenly reacted and changed his words: "I mean, Liu Mengjia doesn't know her, and he probably didn't notice her at all!"

Hua Chong said "En" slowly, the end of the sound provoking, with a half-believing expression.

It turned out that the boy's name was Liu Mengjia, and he did have the same surname as the boss.Judging from the only contact last night, Liu Mengjia is not the type to take the initiative to chat with guests, and has an indifferent and ignorant attitude towards guests-this is the complete opposite of the noisy man just now.

But the truth is as the boss said, did Liu Mengjia not notice Shi Limiao at all?

The boss's reaction was too much, which just shows that there may be some kind of intersection between Liu Mengjia and Shi Limiao. The boss may not know what it is, but he has seen the two contact each other.

The back kitchen was stuffy, and the air was filled with thick oily fumes.

It's amazing, the food on the table is full of aroma, smelling it makes people full of appetite, but the place where they were "born" is not so beautiful, greasy, dirty, the air is turbid, and there are even cockroaches hiding in the dark with mice.

Hua Chong changed his tone, knowing that Liu Mengjia is the boss's child, but deliberately asked, "Who is Liu Mengjia?"

The boss got stuck and looked at Hua Chong suspiciously, "Aren't you..."

Hua Chong smiled, "I just learned his full name."

The boss didn't know whether he was tired or his feet were weak, or he couldn't stand the confrontation with Hua Chong for a while, so he pulled a stool and sat down, "He is my son. Forget it, he will be here in a while. If you have any questions, just ask him. I don't know anything, this woman is just my guest here."

In a normal father-son relationship, would a father show an annoyed look when he mentioned his son to outsiders?

Even if the son does something against his father and the father is angry, the reasonable reaction is anger, even rage, not boredom.

When the boss talks about Liu Mengjia, it's like seeing cockroaches coming out of the back kitchen from time to time.

This is problematic for father and son.

At this time, the outside suddenly became lively, and regular customers called their friends and friends to come, occupying several tables, and one of them shouted: "Where is Lao Liu? You are a fan!"

The boss responded, and looked at Hua Chong uneasily.

Hua Chong said: "It's okay, you are busy with your work."

The boss breathed a sigh of relief, but stopped suddenly when he ran to the door.Hua Chong followed his gaze, only to see Liu Mengjia walking with his head bowed.

The boy's overly long hair covered the upper half of his face, and because of the movement of lowering his head, his shoulders were raised high, as if he didn't want anyone to see his face.

Pei Qing stood up and reached out to stop the boy, but was stopped by Hua Chong's eyes.

"Here, here he is." The boss said irritably.

The young man didn't seem to know that someone was waiting for him, and walked forward in silence, until he found a pair of black leather shoes in front of him, and someone blocked his way.

He didn't raise his head immediately, from Hua Chong's angle, he could see the corners of his lips pursed hard.

"Xiao Qie." Hua Chong said.

Liu Mengga suddenly raised her head with a sudden shoulder.

The gazes clashed silently, the light from the boy's eyes was dim, like a swamp under thick clouds, but Hua Chong's eyes were calm and restrained, like a wind blowing in the darkness.

After looking at each other for a short while, Liu Mengjia seemed to realize something, his eyelids opened in shock, and his next move was to turn around and run away.

"Snapped--"

There was a muffled sound of body colliding, and the moment he turned around—maybe earlier—Hua Chong clasped his arm, using a skillful force, and moved in front of him.

Under Hua Chong's restraint, Liu Mengjia's strength was almost zero. It was easy for the former elite special police to restrain a young man.

"Who are you? Let me go!" Liu Mengjia's voice was hoarse, which did not match his age and appearance, struggling like a jackal alone.

The guests at the nearest table were frightened and quickly stood up, while avoiding to the distance, while complaining in a low voice.

The boss appeased the guest, stepped forward and slapped Liu Mengjia hard in the face, angry and fearful—the anger was towards Liu Mengjia, and the fear was towards the three criminal policemen present, "What are you arguing about? You scared away! Are you trying to piss me off! This is the police, how dare you confront the police?"

This slap was so hard that Liu Mengjia's head was thrown to the side, and even Hua Chong felt a joint force.

This father was really merciless when he beat his son.

And judging from the reactions of the two of them, this must not be the first time Liu Mengjia has been slapped so hard.

Pei Qing came over and pulled the boss away.He had his head shaved and his eyebrows were carved. When he got serious, he was a bit tougher than Hua Chong, "What are you doing?"

The boss had two faces when facing the police and Liu Mengjia, and quickly apologized: "I shouldn't do it, I shouldn't do it. Take him away, it's not convenient to ask questions here."

Hua Chong heard the implication - don't interfere with my business here.

"Flower team?" Xu Xiaozhou called out in a low voice.

Hua Chong temporarily changed his mind, but did not bring Liu Mengqi back to the Municipal Bureau.

He handed Liu Mengjia to Xu Xiaozhou, turned to the boss and said, "Can you leave us a table? It's on the far side."

The boss said "yes" on his lips, but he was 1 unhappy in his heart.

The table was propped on the horns, and the ground was not very level.But Hua Chong didn't care about this, he squinted at Liu Mengjia, "Sit?"

Liu Mengga's cheeks were completely swollen, which made him look a little funny.

This time he didn't run again, but sat down after a few seconds of hesitation.

Pei Qing and Xu Xiaozhou also sat down in turn.

Hua Chong went straight to the point without foreshadowing, "Shi Limiao is dead, did you know that?"

Liu Mengjia straightened her body as if she had been charged with electricity, her eyes were wide open, but her eyes were cut to pieces by the hair on her forehead.

"I...I..." The tendons in his neck and forehead bulged, and he clenched his hands tightly under the table.

Hua Chong observed him for half a minute, "Don't you ask me who Shi Limiao is?"

Liu Mengjia breathed hard, "I don't know, it's none of my business."

"In that case, why did you go to Qishu Town to look for him?" Hua Chong stared at the other party, "Do you think the police will find you without any clues?"
