heart poison

Ten years ago, Xiancheng.

On weekdays, the overcrowded study road was blocked by students watching the excitement. Men and women raised their necks high, and looked at the landmark of the "Knowledge City" with eager eyes - climbing the peak tower, laughing and mocking louder than New Year's Eve The sound of firecrackers at night was still lively, and many people held up the most popular flip phones of the year and took random shots at the top of the tower.The students whose mobile phones do not have the function of taking pictures can only watch helplessly. Whenever someone around them takes a picture, they will excitedly lean over and shout: "Show me! Show me!"

In that situation, it was as if the person on the tower was a big star who was giving a concert.

In fact, there are no big stars on the tower.Sitting on the edge of the tower is an 18-year-old senior high school girl.She looked at the noisy crowd under the tower blankly, her face was pale, and she seemed to have lost the slightest nostalgia for the world.

The top of the tower is too far from the ground, and the pixels of mobile phones ten years ago are not high. If you zoom in the lens a little, the picture will be blurred.

So no one saw the flash of pride and joy in her eyes.

In the whole of Han Province, Xiancheng is not considered a first-tier city. The main city is poorly planned, and there are many road sections with traffic jams.

Taking advantage of the trend of developing education, Xiancheng built a "knowledge city" in the east of the city a few years ago, and moved primary and secondary schools and universities there one after another. Firstly, it concentrated educational resources, and secondly, it also made it more crowded. Lighten the burden in the city center.

The "Knowledge City" is divided into east and west areas. The primary and secondary schools are in the east, and the university is in the west. A climbing tower is built in the middle to encourage students to study hard.On the side of the Yongsanfeng Tower is the most important traffic artery of the "Knowledge City" - Qiuxue Road. All vehicles entering and leaving the "Knowledge City" must pass through Qiuxue Road.

With more and more schools settled in, there are more and more restaurants on both sides of Qiuxue Road.These restaurants are cheap, have a variety of dishes, and the most important thing is that the meals in the school cafeteria are several times more delicious.So when it's meal time, the two sides of the school road are crowded with young people looking for food.

But even when the flow of people was the highest at the beginning of school, the students did not block the road for vehicles.

This day is different.

A female student in the No. [-] Chinese Experimental Class of Xiancheng City, a key city, was unable to figure it out because of her unsatisfactory monthly exam results.Hearing the news, half of the "Knowledge City" students, support staff, and even some teachers rushed over to see the surprise.

"Lively" seems to have an irresistible attraction for people.

The identity of the suicidal female student quickly spread among the crowd—her name is Zhou Liangjia.Most of the people who come out of Xiancheng No. [-] Middle School are bastards, but she was admitted to No. [-] Middle School, which can be called a prestigious school. She is the most beautiful girl in several experimental classes and has countless suitors, but it is said that she has never been in love once. To learn.From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, her grades were not outstanding, hovering in the middle class, and it was difficult to get into a well-known university in the country, but it was no problem to get into a good university in Hanoi.However, in the just-concluded monthly exam, she encountered "Waterloo" and fell from middle class to middle class.Originally, the results of a monthly exam couldn't explain anything, but she couldn't figure it out. After the last class in the morning, she walked out of the campus quietly with her schoolbag on her back, and came to the school road until she climbed up the road. It was discovered at the top of the tower.

I don't know who yelled at the first time. In an instant, the students who were fighting for seats in the restaurants on both sides of Xuexue Road all looked up and saw Zhou Liangjia sitting on the edge of the tower.

Immediately, the scene was boiling, no one wanted to grab a seat, and they all ran out of the restaurant.Soon, the news that "someone committed suicide bravely climbing the peak tower" spread widely, and students who were not on their way to study also flocked here.

The sidewalks on both sides of the road couldn't hold so many curious people. Gradually, someone took the lead and stood on the road.Everyone seems to have forgotten that this fairly wide road is the most important passageway for entering and exiting the "Knowledge City"...

In December, the weather was already very cold, and the top of the tower was very windy. Zhou Liangjia wrapped his down jacket tightly and shook his two legs outside.

She didn't feel cold because she had already prepared for it.

At this time, she was wearing her thickest down jacket, wrapped in a large fleece scarf given by Fan Miao, with "warm babies" on her back, waist, and legs, and two pairs of cotton socks on her feet. Is particularly popular "UGG".

Except for her exposed face, she is not cold anywhere.

She thought to herself, thanks to her cold face, she was almost frozen from the cold, otherwise she would definitely not be able to help laughing.

The people who crowded the streets to watch the excitement were really stupid. They really thought they were going to commit suicide.But how is this possible?Suicide is obviously an interesting game.I am only 18 years old, the future is so bright and so long, why should I jump from a high place and fall to pieces?

Her heart was beating happily, and her whole body was shaking because of holding back her laughter.There was an exclamation immediately below, thinking that she was about to jump.

She touched the corners of her lips that were numb from the cold, but it was okay, it didn't rise there.

After a while, she heard a urging, followed by a second, and a third.

"Are you jumping or not?"

"Jump! Are you fucking kidding us?"

"Hurry up and jump, I have to go back to eat after watching Lao Tzu!"

"That's it! Jump! If you don't jump, the pea noodles I ordered will be lumpy!"

"Jump! What's the matter if you climb up and don't jump? I came here specially from the library!"

"I'll count dozens, you must jump after counting!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Jump, sister! How boring is it to climb up like you without jumping? What is this called? This is called cowardice! It's called not taking responsibility! If you come down, you will be ridiculed until you graduate!"

"Jumping or not? The camera mode consumes a lot of power! If I don't jump, my phone will automatically shut down!"

Tsk tsk tsk... Zhou Liangjia covered his mouth and nose, letting himself laugh silently.

These people are really bad. They can say such vicious words in front of a little girl who is about to end her life.

Fortunately, I didn't really want to jump off the building, but just to scare the head teacher and grade teacher. Who made them talk so much all day, and scold people blindly as soon as the monthly exam results come out?

It would be the best to scare them, and then strive for extra points in the college entrance examination!

Zhou Liangjia was making wishful thinking in his heart, and continued to listen to the curses one after another with great interest.I can't help thinking—if the person sitting here is not me, but a person who is really going to jump off the building, what will happen to this person when he hears those ugly curses?Maybe even the only remaining desire to survive has been lost. "He" will probably think, human nature is really bad, the world is so indifferent, forget it, forget it, it's better to die.Then, he jumped up, and in the high-decibel scream comparable to a concert scene, he fell into a bloody meatloaf with a "snap".

Thinking of this, Zhou Liangjia shuddered, and covered the lower half of his face more tightly with his gloved hands.

Yesterday, when she told Fan Miao and Sheng Feixiang about her plan, Sheng Feixiang immediately became excited and promised to help build momentum, but Fan Miao said "this is not good".

What's wrong?By pretending to jump the tower once, the viciousness of so many people was exposed.

Really... Hehehehehe!

Zhou Liangjia searched the crowd while complaining secretly.Soon, she saw Fan Miao and Sheng Feixiang.They are indeed my good buddies. Without them, I might have to blow the cold wind for a long time to be noticed by so many people.

Fan Miao was holding up her mobile phone to record.She really wanted to wink at the camera, but she was afraid of showing her secrets in full view, so she continued to hold back, showing a loveless expression.

Finally, she saw the head teacher, as well as the geography teacher, math teacher, English teacher...

They all came, and they seemed to be in a hurry, especially the head teacher who didn't have a few hairs left, he seemed to be kneeling down.

Hey, hey, hey!

Zhou Liangjia hid in his palm and laughed.

beg me!She thought, don't you just love to train me?Keep training, I'm listening!

Are you afraid to train?Are you afraid that I will jump off?How cowardly!

Things like students jumping off the tower can completely ruin the future of the head teacher.Zhou Liangjia admired the panic of the teachers and imagined the scene of them kneeling on the ground.

Unfortunately, they did not kneel down.

She wanted to see them kneel down to herself so much, so she just sat there like this.

Isn't it stalemate?I have plenty of time.

After a while, she heard a faint sound of an ambulance, "Woo-woo-", just like the cry of a person before death.

He followed the sound and saw an ambulance.

Who is dying?She thought, if an ambulance is needed to pick her up, it must be some unlucky teacher.

Is it because you train your students too much, you get too angry, and you get yourself into a heart attack?

It deserves it.

She looked back and stopped looking at the ambulance blocked by the crowd.

The crowd watching the excitement became more and more excited. Their eyes were fixed on Zhou Liangjia, for fear of missing the scene of her falling from the top of the tower.

No one noticed the ambulance honking its horn.

Even if they noticed, no one was willing to move away.

??

Compared with the noisy and chaotic way to study, the No. [-] gate of Xiancheng University of Science and Technology is much deserted.

A muscular man was carrying a man in canteen overalls on his back, and three other people looked around in panic.

The unconscious man was named Liu Xuchen, a freshman, working in the cafeteria to save money because of poor family conditions.

When he fainted, he hit his head on the stove, and more and more blood gushed out from the wound.

The one who was carrying him was his roommate, and the one who escorted him were his close classmates.They didn't know why he was in a coma. They guessed that he was overworked, so they quickly called the emergency number, and the other party said that an ambulance would be sent immediately.

But after waiting for a long time, the ambulance has not arrived yet.

The students were extremely anxious, stretching their necks and looking at the direction the car should be driving.

It was really too cold, and Liu Xuchen only had a thin old coat on him.I don't know if it's because of excessive blood loss, but his body seems to be getting colder and colder.The man with his back yelled, "Who takes off his clothes!"

The three classmates looked at me and I looked at you, and they all started to take off their clothes.The shortest one shouted anxiously: "Wear mine! Wear mine! My warmest!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly took off the new down jacket his girlfriend bought for him, and put it on Liu Xuchen's bloody head.

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and the ambulance was still delayed.Everyone started swearing, the short man was trembling while holding on to Liu Xuchen's down jacket, almost crying, and muttered in a low voice: "Come on! Come on!"

Finally, the sound of an ambulance came—but from another direction.

In the panic and joy, no one bothered to ask why the ambulance didn't come from the direction of the school road. The boys aged [-] to [-] were all convinced: It's okay, the doctor is here, brother, you are saved!

However, that afternoon, Liu Xuchen stopped breathing in the hospital, and the cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage.

The hospital contacted the school, but the school could not contact Liu Xuchen's family.

His roommate said that his hometown is in a very backward and poor mountain village with inconvenient transportation. There are no parents in the family, only a young brother.

A few days later, under the arrangement of his classmates, his body was cremated and his ashes were temporarily stored in the funeral home.

Half a month later, the bad news passed through Yufeng Town and reached Luoguan Village, which was heavily snowed.

The mortality rate of cerebral hemorrhage is not low, and Liu Xuchen has no family members. Although the enthusiastic classmates are grieving, they will not ask the hospital why you failed to save him?

Everyone felt that this was probably fate.

Zhou Liangjia didn't know what her "feat" of jumping from the tower brought to a boy who might be saved. She, Fan Miao and Sheng Feixiang didn't even hear the name "Liu Xuchen". The most indispensable thing in the "Knowledge City" is students, and no one knows them all.

They even heard about the death of a male student at Xiancheng University of Science and Technology in winter, only after the Spring Festival.

Jumping the tower won Zhou Liangjia good "rights and interests". The head teacher, grade teacher, teachers of various subjects, and parents didn't dare to reprimand her with her grades. The words stimulated her.Two months later, the class teacher called her to the office and told her that the grade teacher had several bonus points for the college entrance examination...

In the summer, when the results of the college entrance examination were released, she was very happy, and called a group of classmates to eat and sing K.She did so-so in the exam, not particularly good, but not bad, counting extra points, she can go to any university in Han Province.

Los Angeles is the provincial capital and the most prosperous city in Han Province.She decided that in the future, she would study in Los Angeles, work in Los Angeles, and settle down in Los Angeles!

??

"Back then, Zhou Liangjia and Fan Miao were male and female friends, and they had a close relationship. I can only capture part of their online chat records for the time being." Liu Zhiqin said on the phone: "It can be seen that Zhou Liangjia planned a 'fake Fan Miao and Sheng Feixiang were both insiders and participants of the "suicide". With this "fake suicide", she got the extra points for the college entrance examination."

Hua Chong put his right hand into a fist against the floor-to-ceiling window of the cafe, listening to Liu Zhiqin talk about the "suicide farce" ten years ago.

"Xiancheng's 'Knowledge City' has now been remodeled, the roads have been widened, and all the restaurants along the street have been moved to the newly built square. But in the past, the main road, Xuexue Road, was prone to congestion." Speaking here, Liu Zhiqin said in a slightly tone There was a change, "Flower Team, I found another thing."

Hua Chong intuitively felt that what Liu Zhiqin was about to say was very important, and said tightly, "What?"

"The day Zhou Liangjia 'fake suicide' was the day Liu Xuchen died!"

Hua Chong's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide to look at his own shadow in the French window.

For a moment, thousands of broken fragments gathered in the field of vision, and the clues gradually connected to each other in the crisp sound.Lights flashed in his mind, each with a cold and biting chill.

"I've thought about it for a long time before I called you." Liu Zhiqin said, "Is there such a possibility? That day..."

"On that day, people watching Zhou Liangjia's suicide blocked the narrow school road. Liu Xuchen fell ill and fell into a coma at that time. The ambulance couldn't pass the school road, so he had to take a long way to Xiancheng University of Science and Technology." Hua Chong said The voice sounded calm and heartless, "Time was wasted, and the doctors failed to save a young life in the end!"

Liu Zhiqin was silent for a long time, and there was only dull breathing on the phone.

"Some people think that Zhou Liangjia, Fan Miao, and Sheng Feixiang killed Liu Xuchen." Hua Chong finally spoke again, "Because in his opinion, if the ambulance arrived in time, Liu Xuchen would be saved."

Liu Zhiqin sighed, "Flower Team, you are indeed more sensitive to the case than I am. I thought about it for a long time before I thought of this possibility, and you just thought of it after listening to me."

Hua Chong turned his head to look in the direction of Qu Zhi and Zou Mei, and saw Zou Mei standing up, as if about to leave.

Liu Zhiqin immediately sensed that there was something wrong with him, and asked, "Are you still busy?"

Hua Chong said, "I'll call you later."

After hanging up the phone, the soft music from the cafe filled my ears again.Hua Chong held the mobile phone and walked towards the two, only to hear Zou Mei say: "I have an important meeting tomorrow, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Qu Zhi glanced at Hua Chong, Hua Chong didn't continue the previous topic, but asked, "Do you want to take a piece of cake back?"

Zou Mei was stunned, "Cake?"

"Take it as supper." Hua Chong said.

Zou Mei was still confused, "Snack?"

Qu Zhi was also at a loss. He didn't understand why his team leader answered a phone call and came back with cake and supper.

Could it be that Brother Xiaoliu told me on the phone—to have some supper?

Qu Zhi shook his head to drive out the inexplicable thoughts.

Hua Chong showed an apologetic look, "You don't eat supper? That's me being rude. We policemen often work late, and eating supper is unshakable. I saw you leaving work so late, and thought you would too. Like us, we need to fill our stomachs, forgetting that you ladies pay more attention to your figure."

Zou Mei nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Adding meals at night is not good for your health. I can drink a cup of hot milk."

Hua Chong nodded, and patted Qu Zhi on the back, "That's fine, you go back first, I will contact you later if I need anything."

After Zou Mei left, the smile on Hua Chong's lips disappeared without a trace.Qu Zhi was taken aback by his sudden "face change", and asked in a low voice, "What did you do just now? Why did you care about her eating or not? Brother Xiao Liu didn't call you because you Have a late night snack? The cakes here are not cheap, you are going to be hungry, let's go out first, and I treat you to noodles?"

Hua Chong didn't speak, and walked out of the cafe until he got into the car, then said: "Keep an eye on Zou Mei, check all the properties under her name, but don't startle the snake just yet."

Qu Zhi started the car: "Understood. Where to eat noodles?"

"What kind of noodles are you eating?" Hua Chong looked at the time. It was too late whether he was rushing to Xiancheng or returning to Luoguan Village, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he could only stay in Luocheng. It's been a night.

"Aren't you hungry?" Qu Zhi said.

"I was talking to Zou Mei." Hua Chong lowered the back of the co-pilot's seat and closed his eyes. "Brother Xiao Liu and I saw her in Chen Yun's shop, but she didn't see us. She bought some baked goods at that time." Skewer, pack it up and put it in the car, it looks like a regular customer."

"Fuck!" Qu Zhi said in surprise, "She went to a barbecue shop to buy skewers?"

"It's strange, isn't it?" Hua Chong said, "I just asked her if she wanted to buy a cake as a midnight snack. I wanted to make sure that she had the habit of having a snack at night. Obviously, she is very self-disciplined—she takes good care of herself. At first glance, she is a self-disciplined person. She works so late, and she doesn’t even eat a small piece of cake in a high-end cafe, why would she eat unhygienic and unhealthy skewers?”

"Then she still goes to Chen Yun's barbecue restaurant?"

"This is where the doubts lie. Once a person's behavior does not conform to the logic of 'him', there must be some reason behind it." Hua Chong half-opened his eyes, with a gloomy tone, "The first time she went to 'Xiaoyun Food' ', maybe it was by chance. I went again later, maybe because of Chen Yun. And the time I saw it with Brother Xiaoliu..."

After listening to the song for a long time, there was no continuation, and he asked, "What about that time?"

"Think for yourself." Hua Chong copied his hands, turned his head to look at the colorful street outside the window, and couldn't wait to go back to the city bureau and call Liu Zhiqin.

??

Luoguan Village Police Station, Liu Zhiqin paced back and forth in the room.

There is not much information so far, but the murderer's motive for burning Zhou Liangjia and the three of them to death has vaguely emerged from the darkness.

As far as the Pai investigation is concerned, the "false suicide" incident ten years ago is the only "activity" that all three of them participated in.The road congestion caused by this "activity" is likely to be the cause of Liu Xuchen's death.

——At least that's what the murderer thought.

"He" thought that Liu Xuchen didn't have to die, but Zhou Liangjia and the others killed Liu Xuchen.

At that time, Liu Xuchen and the classmates who sent Liu Xuchen to the doctor should be very helpless. They guarded the campus gate, waiting anxiously for the ambulance. carnival.

There are obviously so many people in the "Knowledge City", but why do everyone only look at the girl who has not danced?Why didn't anyone see the ambulance that couldn't cross Qixue Road?Why did no one see Liu Xuchen whose life was hanging by a thread?

Are these people blind?Are you deaf?Why didn't they turn around and take a look at the ambulance?Take a look at the patient waiting for treatment?

These stupid lunatics!

They're getting all the attention from that grandstanding witch, they're damned!But the devil and the devil's companions are even more damning!

Liu Xuchen's life was ignored by countless pairs of eyes and ears.Well, these three culprits should also taste the feeling of being ignored by everyone in the crowd!

On Xulu Mountain, the music was deafening, and the bonfires lit up the night. The tourists faced the main stage, jumping and cheering frantically. Who would hear the screams of the burned people, and who would see their struggling figures?

Die for your sins!
