heart poison

After the murder case was solved, Meng Xiaoqin confessed the whereabouts of the knife and the belongings of the two deceased in confusion and despair.She took advantage of her position to hide them in a private lounge of the BXF Hotel, together with an old Samsung card machine in the code locker.

Back then, Meng Xiaoqin, who still had hopes and dreams in her heart, used this card machine, which cost less than 1000 yuan, to take pictures of the scenery from Los Angeles to Beimang Mountain.That short journey was the most tender time in her 30 years of life.She once stood on a hilltop of Beiman Mountain, climbed high and looked far away, and had a panoramic view of the forests layer upon layer, and was frozen in the unclear picture, treating it like a treasure.But now, what was captured by this card machine was her blood-soaked smile.

"She actually took this kind of photo!" Qu Zhi stared at the computer screen in disbelief, "What did she think!"

The woman in the photo is wearing an unremarkable cheap shirt and jeans, her hair is combed neatly, she is wearing exaggerated smoky makeup and red lips, the foundation is too thick and too white, making her lips look blood-stained

She laughed wantonly at the camera, eyes full of frenzy.Tang Su's missing handbag was hanging on her arm, and it was the most expensive item in her body.

"When she took this photo, she imagined herself as Tang Su." Hua Chong stood behind Qu Zhi, leaning on the back of the chair with one hand, "Or, she imagined herself as Tang Su and Xu Yujiao. A girl who was born in a wealthy family and lived a carefree and free life."

"She's crazy!" Qu Zhi slapped the edge of the table.

"She smiles so creepily." Zhang Mao touched his arm, "I've got goosebumps when I see it."

"So, even if Qiu Weiwei's iPad didn't capture the process of Meng Xiaoqin dropping the hammer, we can still find enough evidence." Liu Zhiqin said: "She hid the physical evidence in the hotel and didn't have time to transfer it. Now that she is locked, we It’s bound to find these things, it’s just a matter of spending more time.”

"If I were the murderer, I would definitely destroy the bag and throw away the knife like she did with her mobile phone." Zhang Mao said: "She was so calm at the scene of the crime, leaving no trace for us. When dealing with physical evidence afterwards It’s not so easy.”

"She won't throw away these things, they are her 'trophies'." Hua Chong folded his arms and sighed softly.

"The spoils?" Zhang Mao was puzzled.

"She thinks that killing Tang Su and Xu Yujiao is to correct the injustice of the heavens." Liu Zhiqin explained: "This is what she calls 'going against the sky'. Since 'success', the luxury obtained from the dead Certainly 'boots'."

Zhang Mao and Qu Zhi glanced at each other, then looked at Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin together, and said in unison: "Do you want to be like this?"

Liu Zhiqin was slightly startled, a little embarrassed.

Hua Chong said, "Who is the husband and who is the wife? Tell me clearly!"

"You're my husband, you're my husband!" Qu Zhi yelled, "Ouch, Flower Team, don't just snatch my iced tea if you disagree with me! That bottle is Vita, how much more expensive than Master Kong! You want to snatch Master Kong!" go!"

Liu Zhiqin stood aside and laughed.

Zhang Mao said: "Brother Xiaoliu, you and the flower team really have a tacit understanding. You understand everything the flower team says, and you understand even if the flower team doesn't say it. I'm far behind. I don't know what the flower team doesn't say. The team said that sometimes I need the song assistant to translate into Chinese for me."

Before Liu Zhiqin could answer, Hua Chong had already returned with two bottles of iced black tea in his arms, and he threw it away, "Go on!"

Liu Zhiqin caught it steadily, and shook his head.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't rob you two." Qu Zhi resigned, "Brother Xiaoliu is our new colleague, let's drink, I have plenty."

"By the way, when will Brother Xiaoliu's welcome party be held?" Zhang Mao asked with his round eyes open.

"Just a few days." Hua Chong said: "When I finish writing the case report. Last time, Lao Chen said that he treats guests. Think about what you want to eat earlier, and let's kill him."

Chen Zheng paid out of his own pocket as promised, and invited the brothers in the serious crime team to eat and drink.It was difficult to adjust the opinions in the group. Some people wanted to eat Chinese food, some wanted to eat hot pot, and some wanted to eat Western food. Hua Chong thought about it for a long time, and some people were dissatisfied even by drawing lots. In the end, he simply implemented the policy of power and asked Liu Zhiqin: "What do you want to eat?" ?”

Liu Zhiqin doesn't have any preference for food, and he doesn't want to be special when he first arrives, "Anything is fine. I'll eat whatever you like."

"That won't work." Hua Chong said, "You are a new colleague, and this welcome party was originally meant for you, and we are all eating after you. Tell me, what do you want to eat."

"This..." Although Liu Zhiqin didn't choose phobia, he really didn't want to eat anything in particular, and he couldn't come up with an answer after thinking about it for 3 seconds.

Hua Chong didn't give him time to think about it, "How about I help you choose?"

He understood immediately, and said with a smile, "Okay, you choose the flower team."

Hua Chong immediately told everyone: "Brother Xiaoliu wants to eat Korean barbecue."

"Obviously you want to eat it yourself!" Qu Zhi wanted to eat Cantonese food, and broke the stage: "You let Brother Xiaoliu say it yourself!"

"Okay." Hua Chong turned to Liu Zhiqin, "Brother Xiao Liu, tell yourself what you want to eat."

Liu Zhiqin was very generous, "I want to eat Korean barbecue. I saw a Korean barbecue restaurant one stop away from the city bureau on the way to work a while ago. I always wanted to try it, but I don't have time..."

Hua Chong raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Liu Zhiqin didn't discover that shop when he was at work, but he mentioned it to Liu Zhiqin by accident not long ago - there is a new Korean barbecue restaurant on Jinhong Road.

The team members burst into laughter, and Zhang Mao said, "Brother Xiaoliu, you can't act like this! You're too used to the flower team!"

"That's right!" Qu Zhi said unwillingly.

Liu Zhiqin took a gentle look at Hua Chong, turned around and smiled and explained: "I really want to eat it myself."

"Explaining is equal to covering up!" shouted a group member.

However, although everyone was dissatisfied, they finally rushed to the Korean barbecue restaurant on Jinhong Road with great interest.Last time, Han Qu, the leader of the special police detachment, let Chen Zhengbai eat once, and this time he also came to join in the fun. He didn't eat a few bites of meat, and he caught Hua Chong drinking.

The shop is lively, large pieces of meat are wrapped in oil and sauce, sizzling on the stove.The serious crime team had no rules when eating. After Chen Zheng said a few words to welcome the new colleagues at the beginning, everyone started to work with their cups.

Hua Chong is not interested in drinking, so he chooses this restaurant because he likes the meat here.But Han Qu hadn't talked to him for a long time. He crowded around him and insisted not to let him have a good meal. Review it.

Hua Chong was busy with the barbecue, listening to the ears here and there, and his mind was a little dull after drinking too much alcohol.

Pain is not pain.

Hua Chong took out a piece of green vegetable leaf to wrap the freshly grilled meat, only to hear Han Qu cursing: "You kid just patronize eating! I can't hold you to death!"

Hua Chong thought to himself, they are all here, what else can they do if they don’t eat, drink and cry like Zhang Mao?

I don't know where the problem of crying when I drink alcohol comes from.

"I heard that you get along well with the kid from the Ministry of Public Security?" Han Qu began to gossip after scolding, "Chen Zheng said that you two cooperated perfectly in this case."

"What's good and what's wrong." After Hua Chong finished eating what was in his hand, he went to pick up what was on the stove.With the alcohol on his head, and the most familiar old captain by his side, he didn't have so many scruples when speaking, "It's not like a date."

"Let's talk about business with you, what are you talking about?" Han Qu wanted to pat the back of Hua Chong's head again, but he raised his hands, and was afraid that he would make people stupid if he patted him again, so he took it back, picked up the wine glass and went to Hua Chong's. Pour into a cup.

Hua Chong didn't want to drink, so he blocked it, "Go, go, drink with Lao Chen."

"I still want to drink with you today!" Han Qu refused to leave, "Come on, tell me how you and that hacker brother solved the case."

"I'm not a hacker, the word hacker is a lot of words." Hua Chong said: "It seems like a non-mainstream in the countryside."

Liu Zhiqin had just escaped from Qu Zhi's group and walked over with a large bottle of mint tea. He wanted to eat some meat to fill his stomach, but Hua Chong said that he was "non-mainstream in the countryside".

Hua Chong was drunk, and when he saw him coming, he immediately waved, "Brother Xiaoliu, come and sit, I roasted beef tongue for you."

Liu Zhiqin put down the mint tea and smiled politely at Han Qu, "Captain Han."

Han Qu temporarily let Hua Chong go, raised his glass, "Brother, go one?"

"Where are you going?" Hua Chong was unhappy, and put the beef tongue dipped in sauce into the Qin bowl, "Eat first."

"Hey, Huahua, you're going too far!" Han Qu said, "I want to drink with you, but you want to eat meat. I want to drink with brother hacker, and you let him eat meat too. You don't order anything but meat. Any other ideas?"

Liu Zhiqin really wanted to correct - I'm not a hacker brother.

"Yes, who said no." Hua Chong continued to cook the meat on the stove.This time, the beef with pickled peppers is grilled. The red and white meat slices are covered with light yellow garlic and red peppers.The master knife is good, the fat beef is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it will be cooked as soon as it is spread.He hastily wrapped the meat and picked it up, threw half of it into his own bowl, and half into Qin's bowl.Only then did I have time to continue to say to Han Qu: "I want you to find Lao Chen for a drink."

Liu Zhiqin looked at the shiny and tender meat in the bowl, his eyes slightly curved.

Han Qu was furious, and slapped Hua Chong on the back, "If you're looking for Lao Chen, you're going to find Lao Chen, I'll kill you heartless."

Hua Chongzheng was chewing the meat, and almost vomited from the blow, and scolded the old guy for not taking the shots lightly or hard. It is simply unreasonable to slap his brother with the same strength as a criminal.

"Are you in pain?" Seeing this, Liu Zhiqin immediately poured out a cup of mint tea, and put his left hand on his back to help him breathe.

"Hello." Hua Chong took the mint tea and drank it, drunk, "I know I love my teammates."

Liu Zhiqin's hand paused, and his eyes darkened a little.

After Hua Chong finished speaking, he continued to fiddle with the meat on the stove, and gently tapped the cup on the table with his right hand, indicating that there was more.

"What kind of water is this? It's quite delicious."

"Mint water with ice."

"Really? Why didn't I drink it. How sweet is mint water?"

"There's honey in it."

"Oh, let's have another drink."

Liu Zhiqin filled him up, and while eating the chilled beef with pickled peppers, he sang and roasted the meat with him.

What the song is humming, probably only I understand.

There is a lot of noise around, but they are quiet here.Liu Zhiqin listened for a while and asked, "Flower Team, what are you humming?"

"Hmph." Hua Chong put the cut squid into Liu Zhiqin's bowl, "Eat."

Liu Zhiqin was about to pick up the chopsticks when Hua Chong poured two more glasses of wine, "Let's have a drink too."

"Okay." Liu Zhiqin raised his wine glass and met Hua Chong's eyes.

The tails of Hua Chong's eyes drooped, and his eyes were extremely deep. He usually looked a little softer than ordinary men, but now that he drank alcohol, his eyes were full of drunkenness, which was even more frightening.

Liu Zhiqin narrowed his eyes slightly, and could easily feel his heart beating uncontrollably.

"Welcome Brother Xiaoliu to join the Criminal Investigation Detachment." Hua Chong raised the corners of his lips, a smile entered his eyes, but there was no trace of softness, and he still had a heroic appearance, "Do it!"

The wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.

Liu Zhiqin said softly, "Thank you, Flower Team."

"Thank you? Have another drink." Hua Chong waved his hand and filled the glass again, "You did a great job in Meng Xiaoqin's case, I respect you with this glass."

Liu Zhiqin shook his head with a smile, "Flower Team, you noticed the postcard from Beiman Mountain, and that's the key."

"It doesn't matter, let's talk after drinking!"

Realizing that Hua Chong was already drunk, Liu Zhiqin stopped reasoning with him, "Okay, let's talk after drinking."

A group of people made a fuss until the store closed, Hua Chong ate and drank a lot, he was still awake, but his reaction was much slower.

Chen Zheng and Qu Zhi arranged for everyone to take a taxi to leave, and finally only Liu Zhiqin and Hua Chong were left sitting on the bench outside the store.

"Flower Team, Old Hua?" Qu Zhi squatted in front of Hua Chong, shook his hands twice, amused, and said to Chen Zheng: "Old Hua drank his soul again."

"Where is he not like this?" Chen Zheng looked at Liu Zhiqin, "Where does Xiao Liu live?"

"Painting scenery." Liu Zhiqin said, "I called a car and went back with the flower team."

"The two of you are actually in the same neighborhood!" Qu Zhi said in surprise, "What kind of fucking fate is this!"

Liu Zhiqin laughed lowly, but didn't speak.

"I originally wanted to send you two back one by one, but since I've ordered a taxi, I won't 'forcibly send' you." Chen Zheng cast a sideways glance at Hua Chong, and said to Liu Zhiqin, "Hua'er will trouble you. He If you can't find the key, you can help him find it."

"Ok, I know."

Just as he was talking, a car stopped by the side of the road. Liu Zhiqin helped Hua Chong sit in the back seat, turned around and said, "Captain Chen, Deputy Qu, let's go first."

"Go. Be careful on the road." Chen Zheng raised his hand.

Hua Chong fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, leaning against the car door, his forehead rubbing against the glass window.

That posture was uncomfortable at first glance. Liu Zhiqin wanted to pull him, but his hand was already stretched out, and he felt a little abrupt.

It was Hua Chong who knocked on the glass window himself, it hurt, rubbed his forehead and shrunk in, and whispered: "Fuck, hit me..."

"Flower team."

"Ok?"

"Sit down."

Hua Chong didn't see him either, moved over, leaned on Liu Zhiqin's shoulder, moved for a while, seemed to be looking for a comfortable position, and soon calmed down, closed his eyes, and breathed slowly and steadily.

Fell asleep.

Liu Zhiqin glanced down, his Adam's apple twitched slightly.

Hua Chong's eyelashes are longer than the average man's, usually lining a pair of pupils deeper, now with his eyes closed, those eyelashes are like a circle of exquisite eyeliner drawn around the eyelids, chic and alluring.

Liu Zhiqin heard his beating heartbeat, his palms and feet felt hot, and an indescribable heat flowed wildly in his body.

He exhaled shallowly, his lips parted, as if to speak, but he didn't say a word.

A few days ago, he asked Hua Chong why he was transferred from the special police detachment to the criminal investigation detachment.Although special police and criminal police are both police officers, they perform different duties, and it may be difficult to adapt.

Hua Chong didn't answer immediately, but said after a while: "A few years ago, the province recruited excellent special police officers to go to the Northwest to support anti-terrorism. I stayed there for two years, and when I came back, I didn't want to stay in the special police detachment anymore. I wanted to change my environment."

"why?"

"I've seen the big wind and the big waves. I am loaded with live ammunition every day in the northwest. When I come back, I occasionally shoot a target, or I perform some meeting security tasks. If there is a gap, I feel like I have nothing to do all day, so I can't stay any longer."

What Hua Chong said was quite reasonable, and it was true at first glance, but Liu Zhiqin felt that he was lying.

The two years in the Northwest cannot be summed up with a single sentence of "big wind and big waves".

Hua Chong obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he deviated from the topic in a few sentences.It was inconvenient for Liu Zhiqin to ask further questions, so he had to withdraw his probing tentacles.

At this time Hua Chong was drunk, half asleep, half awake, Liu Zhiqin hesitated for a long time, and called out: "Flower team, flower team."

Hua Chong frowned, "Huh?"

Liu Zhiqin brought up the old story again, "Flower Team, can you tell me one thing?"

"Huh? What?"

"Why did you transfer to be a criminal police officer? You are a special police officer, wouldn't you develop better in the special police detachment?"

The car fell into an eerie silence. Half a minute later, Hua Chongcai said softly, "I want to solve the case."

"Crack the case?"

"...I want to find the culprit."

Liu Zhiqin's eyes tightened, "What is the culprit?"

Hua Chong closed his eyes and shook his head, leaned on his shoulder again, and fell asleep completely.

Liu Zhiqin stared at Hua Chong's face for a long while, then sighed, and turned his eyes to the window, his deep eyes restrained the colorful night light of the city as deep as ink.

What culprit are you looking for?

Is it related to that incident five years ago?

what do you knowHow involved are you?

you and……

Does it matter?

Liu Zhiqin frowned deeply, pressing his fingers between his brows.

The palm of the hand covered the light of the flashy world, leaving only a piece of black scorched earth.

The car stopped outside the gate of the second phase of Huajing, Liu Zhiqin opened his eyes, turned to the side, and saw that Hua Chong had woken up.

He was a little surprised, "I just wanted to call you."

Hua Chong stretched aggrievedly in the narrow space, and pushed open the car door, "Are your shoulders stiff?"

Liu Zhiqin rubbed his right shoulder, "It's okay."

"Closed tomorrow. This case is solved. For the time being, there should be no new cases transferred to the serious crime team." Hua Chong yawned, pressed his temple and said, "If you are okay, let's go to the market tomorrow? Didn't you say you wanted to buy some green plants last time, and it happened that the flowers in my house were almost dead, so I also wanted to buy some new pots."

Liu Zhiqin smiled, "You are too spoiling plants."

"The people's police are working hard."

"You can't spoil the plants even if you work hard."

"Then are you going?"

Liu Zhiqin followed Hua Chong to the community, "You ask me out, of course I'm going."
