"It's not that easy to deceive my eyes. This is definitely a disguised suicide!" Qin Siwei leaned on the sofa, staring at the night sky outside the window, muttering to himself.From the time he entered the door in the evening to now, he kept muttering about "murder" and "suicide", and he was extremely excited. "There have been a lot of posts on the Internet these days, and the vast majority of people support the theory of suicide." I held the remote control of the TV and changed channels aimlessly, "Isn't the official statement given by your Public Security Bureau also a suicide? You said it yourself when you were interviewed!"

"I said 'the possibility of suicide is not ruled out'. As for how those reporters interpret it, it is hard to say. However, he did have a reason for suicide." The "he" in Qin Siwei's mouth refers to the famous young writer Jin Yu a few years ago, a genius who was once placed high hopes in the literary world.Jin Yu published a collection of poems at the age of twelve, published her first novel at the age of fourteen, and was exceptionally admitted to a university at the age of sixteen.Not yet twenty, Jin Yu has already published seven novels, each topping the bestseller lists.Countless boys and girls are crazy about it, and he also frequently appears in various social activities and TV talk shows.It is said that there are veterans in the literary world who waved the flag for him, saying that "the hope of the future of Chinese literature lies in this brat".

It's a pity that good flowers don't always bloom and good scenery doesn't always stay. After the age of 20, Jin Yu's once Niagara Falls-like writing style seemed to dry up in an instant, and he never wrote any more remarkable works.Slowly, with the rise of batch after batch of new forces in the literary circle, he faded out of the public eye, and finally disappeared altogether. However, in the last week, the name Jin Yu began to appear on the front page of news reports again, and there were more and more related links on the Internet.Even I, who is not very interested in literature, knows his life well.

Last Saturday was Jin Yu's 24th birthday, a few friends held a small birthday party at his home.After the party, everyone went home, and no one noticed that there was anything wrong.But at noon the next day, when the hourly worker who cleaned Jin Yu came in, he was found lying on the sofa in the living room, without breathing or heartbeat. The news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. "Jiang Langcai is exhausted" is the most quoted idiom when talking about Jin Yu.A writer who was successful at a young age and became a smash hit, couldn't bear the second half of his life in obscurity, and took the way of self-destruction-this kind of story full of legends and tragedies is the easiest to be accepted by the public.I heard that the reprint of Jin Yu's works has been put on the agenda, and there are countless download links on the Internet.I don't know if he would find it absurd to see this in heaven.

But obviously, Qin Siwei, who is in charge of investigating the case, is not satisfied with the idea of ​​suicide. "Jin Yu, whose real name is Jiang Yu, died of drug poisoning." Qin Siwei suddenly asked me, "Nalatamin, have you heard of it?" "Looks like a medicine for migraines?" I'm not sure.There are so many new medicines out there with weird names. "Yes, this is a prescription drug. Jin Yu suffers from migraines, and started taking nalatamine under the guidance of a doctor about half a year ago. If this drug is taken in excess, it can lead to heart failure. Jin Yu's body The concentration of the drug is twenty times the normal dose."

"So... the medicine is his own?" "It's very possible. Because two days before the incident, Jin Yu had just been prescribed a month's worth of medication from the hospital, and both the medical records and his attending doctor can prove it." "In this way, suicide is not impossible?" "Well, he has the conditions and motives to commit suicide." Qin Siwei nodded lightly, "First of all, he hasn't written any valuable works for four years, and he is very distressed, otherwise he wouldn't have committed suicide at a young age. Migraines every day. He started counseling about two months ago - he suffers from mild depression. Doctors say this type of person is prone to suicidal tendencies."

"It seems that both writers and artists are prone to depression." "His illness is not serious, and the doctor said it is well under control. But to be honest, his luck is really bad." Qin Siwei said, "At the end of the year before last, Jinyu invested in opening a restaurant, but was cheated by his partner and lost money. One million. The partner ran away and was caught in Hong Kong three months ago. The money has been squandered, and he will never come back if he wants to." "Oh? Then he is really unlucky." "That's not all. Last month, Chen Xuefang, his girlfriend who has been with him for more than two years, proposed to break up. Jin Yu is very sad. It is said that she washes her face with tears every day and is depressed."

"Oh my god! Why did all the unlucky things happen to him? And it happened one after another." I couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that misfortunes never come singly?" "So, on the surface, suicide can be established." Qin Siwei emphasized the word "surface", with a half-smile on his face, like a cat that found a trace of a mouse. "On the surface? So what's behind it?" "Behind it... is the problem I've been having headaches for the past few days." He sighed, "We have confirmed that Jin Yu has indeed overdosed. But the total amount of drugs in his body is only one-third of the amount prescribed by the hospital. Two, there should be a third left. But we searched his house, but we didn’t find the remaining medicine, not even the bottle containing it. Isn’t it strange?”

"It was taken away? So, you suspect that Jin Yu didn't commit suicide, but was poisoned?" "It's not a suspicion, I'm sure he didn't commit suicide. The body was found in the living room, lying on the sofa. I found half a glass of red wine on the coffee table next to it. The fingerprints and saliva on the glass belonged to Jin Yu himself. Naratamin was detected in Li. If it is suicide, there should be no medicine in the wine glass, because Naratamin is a tablet, just grab a handful and stuff it into your mouth. There is no need to dissolve the medicine in the wine and drink it go down."

"Since that's the case, why do you still have a headache? If someone poisoned him to death with Jin Yu's own medicine, it's probably an acquaintance." "I have a headache just because someone I know did the crime." Qin Siwei sighed, "On Friday night, a few of Jin Yu's friends were at his house to celebrate his birthday. Any one of them would have a chance to steal Jin Yu's money." The key is that they are all frequent visitors of Jin Yu’s house, and their fingerprints and footprints are everywhere in the house, which is not unusual at all, but there is one thing that is very strange, and I can’t explain it anyway.”

"Oh? Is there something else that you Captain Qin can't explain?" I said half-jokingly. "Don't be funny, I'm telling you something serious." He said with a straight face, "The onset time of nalatamine is very short, and it can cause heart failure in about two or three minutes, leading to death. Jin Yu's death The time has been determined to be from 12:00 midnight on Friday to 1:00 am on Saturday, and the forensic doctor has made it very clear that it will never be earlier than 12:00. However, all the guests left after ten o'clock. If at that time How could it be possible to delay the attack for two hours after the poisoning? I have spent the past few days in the laboratory watching them conduct experiments, but no matter how I try, I can’t find a way to delay the attack for two hours.” "Maybe someone went back again. Who are the people who celebrated Jin Yu's birthday that day?" "Jin Yu has been reclusive for the past few years, so his social relationship is extremely simple. There were four people who attended the birthday party that day, all of whom were very close to Jin Yu." Qin Siwei opened his notebook, "There is his cousin Liu Yang, who works in the aviation industry. A postgraduate student at the Software Research Institute under the Third Academy. There are also two friends who have played with Jin Yu since childhood: Yang Jianmei, an interior designer who runs a small design company; Li He, an engineer at the Software Research Institute of the Third Aviation Academy. Then there is Chen Xuefang, Jin Yu's girlfriend. To be precise, she is her ex-girlfriend. She works in the same unit as Liu Yang and Li He, and is an accountant." "What a coincidence? Apart from Yang Jianmei, the other three are from the Software Research Institute?" I was curious. "Actually, it's nothing. Li He and Jin Yu are close buddies. He helped Liu Yang get admitted to the Software Research Institute to study as a graduate student. He also introduced Chen Xuefang to Jin Yu. This world is so small." "I see. But since Chen Xuefang has already broken up with Jin Yu, why did she go to celebrate his birthday?" "According to Chen Xuefang herself, she didn't want to go at all. It was Liu Yang who dragged her to go with shamelessness, in order to make peace with them. Liu Yang also admitted this. But that night, Chen Xuefang basically didn't talk to Jin Yu." "Twisted melons are not sweet. However, from a friend's point of view, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make peace." I turned off the TV, and the room became much quieter. "But in this way, Chen Xuefang has a motive to kill. She wanted to break up, but Jin Yu refused to die, so she stole nalatamine while other people were not paying attention, and then poisoned it, so as to completely get rid of Jin Yu She has been with Jin Yu for so long, she should know that he is taking medicine, and she should know where the medicine is kept." "It's a bit far-fetched, but it makes sense." I asked back. "But how did she do it? Poisoning in front of so many eyes is unlikely, and the timing is not right-you said it yourself, There's no way to delay the onset of the drug." "I found out from the entry and exit records of the Celebrity Garden complex that between the end of the party and the discovery of Jin Yu's body, three people returned to the complex, including Chen Xuefang. Celebrity Garden is a high-end residential complex, and security measures are in place. All visitors and vehicles must be recorded in detail. The records show that after the party that day, the four guests left together at 10:10. But five minutes later, Chen Xuefang and Yang Jianmei came back, and then I left the community at 10:25 and stayed for ten minutes." "Did the two of you come back together?" "Yes, according to Yang Jianmei, not long after they walked out of Celebrity Garden, when they were about to take a taxi on the main road, Chen Xuefang suddenly found that she left her mobile phone at Jin Yu's house. She didn't want to go back to face Jin Yu alone, so she begged Yang Jianmei to accompany her Go back. Yang Jianmei had no choice but to let Liu Yang and Li He go first, and accompany Chen Xuefang back to the community. But both of them said they found the phone and left, and Jin Yu was still fine when they left." "Where did you find the phone?" "It fell under the sofa. Yang Jianmei recalled that when they returned to Jin Yu's residence, he was drinking alone and was very depressed. He didn't say a word when he helped Chen Xuefang find his mobile phone. Farewell to the phone." "Drinking wine? Is he drinking red wine?" "Yes, it's the bottle of red wine. I suspect that Chen Xuefang dropped the phone on purpose, and then poisoned the wine glass while Yang Jianmei and Jin Yu were helping to find the phone - so she would have a chance to commit the crime. However, there is still time Question." Qin Siwei shook his head vigorously, "It's impossible for the poison given at 10:25 to occur at midnight. Unless Jin Yu didn't drink that glass of wine until midnight—but that's too strange gone." "It's quite strange. Didn't you say three people came back? Who else?" "Also, at 8:5 the next morning, Li He went back to Celebrity Garden to pick up his car. Because he drank the night before, he didn't drive home. He took a taxi back with Liu Yang. He was I drove away at 8:40, it stands to reason that it wouldn't take so long to pick up the car." "How does he explain it?" "His car was not parked in the underground garage because there were no parking spaces. The temperature was very low that night, minus 14 degrees. The car was frozen and couldn't start in the morning. He wanted to borrow tools from the property management company to repair the car, but it was eight o'clock. I only got to work halfway, so I was delayed." "Why didn't he ask Jin Yu for help? Isn't he an iron buddy?" "Because he is a close friend, Li He said that Jin Yu is used to going to bed at one or two in the morning and won't get up until eleven, so he didn't dare to disturb him." "It's reasonable. And when he returned to the Garden of Celebrities, Jin Yu had been dead for at least seven hours, and his body was completely cold." "That's right. Li He didn't have a motive for killing Jin Yu, at least for now, I don't see any reason for him to kill Jin Yu." "What about Yang... Yang Jianmei? According to your theory, she also has the chance to poison her." "Firstly, she and Jin Yu have always had a good relationship, and they belonged to childhood sweethearts, so there is no motive to kill; secondly, it is still a matter of time." "Time...time..." I began to understand the source of Qin Siwei's headache. It seemed simple, but he couldn't make any sense. "Is it possible that someone returned to Jin Yu's house before midnight? If it was a deliberate murder, he must have Will not walk through the gate of the community." "I thought about this too, but after checking around the fence of Mingliu Garden District, I found no sign of anyone sneaking in. To ensure safety, the property company installed a power grid on the fence. That's not a joke, at least The few people who are currently in our sight can’t have such good skills. If you say that you did it, maybe I can still believe it.” He said with a playful smile, “But you were with me when the crime happened, so you didn’t crime time." "Aren't you looking for a beating!" I lightly poked his forehead, "It's not serious." "Just kidding." He rubbed his head, "I've checked, and all four of them had alibi at the time of the crime. Li He was called to play mahjong by his colleagues when he got home, and he didn't leave his colleague's house until almost two o'clock in the morning; Instead of going back to the dormitory of the research institute, she stayed with her mother in the hospital and did not leave until the next morning. Many people can attest to this; As for Chen Xuefang, she said that she was not in a good mood that night, so she went to a bar called "Butterfly Dream" near her home to drink and didn't come home until after one o'clock in the morning. She is a frequent customer of the bar, so the waiter can testify to her .” "That is to say, they don't have time to rush back to Celebrity's Garden to kill Jin Yu?" "No, I checked, and the testimony of the witnesses is reliable." Qin Siwei stretched his waist, "I'm really at a loss. How did the murderer do it?" "Are you sure that except for Chen Xuefang, no one else has a motive for committing the crime?" I reminded him, "For example... will anyone profit from Jin Yu's death? People who live in single-family villas like Celebrity Garden should be very interested." Money." "It should be said that he used to be very rich, but most of his income was used to buy the small villa in Celebrity Garden, and he was cheated out of a million by investing in restaurants. In recent years, Jin Yu has not had any works When he came out, he had no income, and he was sitting on nothing, with only more than two thousand yuan in his bank account." "But that house is worth millions." "It's about six million, but now that the real estate market is in a downturn, no matter how good a house is, there's no market for it. Besides, Jin Yu didn't leave a will, didn't get married, let alone have children, so his inheritance is all inherited by his parents. You don't think they poisoned their only son for a villa, do you?" "No other relics? Such as famous watches, jewelry, Monet's authentic works..." "You have read too many novels." Qin Siwei said with a smile, "Jin Yu's parents may give some relics to his friends, but it is only possible, and judging from the current situation, there is nothing worth killing for it. thing." "That's the hell, there is no strong motive, and there is no time to commit the crime..." I was puzzled, "Could it be..." "What?" Qin Siwei leaned over and asked eagerly, "What did you think of?" "It's just a possibility, but I can't figure it out..." More and more confusion lingered in my heart. "I can't figure it out? You're going to kill me." Qin Siwei grabbed my arm, "What's going on!" "Let me think about it." I gently pushed him away, "Actually, I'm not sure, because it's really incredible."
