Chapter 46 Chapter 5 Formic acid

A black foreign object suddenly appeared in the basement, which immediately made Zhen Zhen's leather sneakers full of holes, but as soon as Sister Yuan appeared, the foreign object disappeared without a trace.Later, Sister Yuan informed that countless newborn girls had died in the basement, so I couldn't help but suspect that the foreign body was formed from the dead souls of baby girls, and Zhou Shaolong might have died because of this! The next morning, I reported the progress of the investigation to the boss in his office. Before I could open my mouth, he threw a newspaper in front of me. The headline on the front page of the newspaper read "The boy disappeared mysteriously, and his corpse turned into a bone in nine days" .

As I opened the newspaper, I admired: "These reporters are quite efficient in their work. If you want to recruit people in the future, you might as well consider them." "Fire you all and let them investigate the case, okay?" The boss glared at me. "This case has attracted public attention. You'd better not make me a big mess. If it causes panic among the masses, I won't It will be better, let alone you." "I'm not worried about this. The director will handle the bureaucratic matter. What I'm most afraid of is that I will find a skeleton again in a few days, and that will cause headaches." To explain an incredible thing, you can use "coincidence" ", but when two, three, or even more similar cases appear, the so-called "coincidence" will be regarded as a "lie".

"So you have to catch the killer before he commits another crime." "Well, firstly, I don't have a clue now, secondly, I may not have such a long life, thirdly, the next victim will be me..." I told the boss one by one the information I collected yesterday—— 1. Zhibo claimed that a similar case happened more than 50 years ago, but due to the long history, it may not be possible to confirm whether it is true. 2. Zhenzhen and I were attacked by a black foreign object in the basement of the church and almost died. 3. Zhou Shaolong had entered the basement alone before the accident. It is unknown whether he was also attacked by a foreign object, but his death may be related to this.

4. Zhen Zhen's sneaker, which was riddled with foreign objects, has been handed over to the technical team for testing. Maybe they can learn what the foreign object is. 5. According to Sister Yuan, there is a small hillside covered with lavender near the orphanage, and you may find out if you go to check it later. Just after reporting to the boss, the phone rang, and it was Yue Tong's call: "The test results are in, we found residual formic acid on the shoes, which is a highly corrosive liquid, and the shoes were quickly torn because of the Corrosion of formic acid." "Is there formic acid on Zhou Shaolong's bones and clothing?" I asked.

"I've tested it, but there is nothing. The clothes must not be stained with formic acid, or else it would be like this shoe, but his body is hard to say, because there was too much heavy rain before, and it cannot be ruled out that the body was corroded by formic acid. skeleton, while the residual formic acid is washed away by the rain." Yuetong's hypothesis can not only explain the question of Jiutian's corpse transformation, but also give me some inspiration—maybe I should start with chemical products. According to the information at hand, there are two people related to the deceased who may have been exposed to formic acid. One is his father Zhou Yaoquan's ex-wife Luo Shufen, and the other is his half-brother Zhou Junlong. Their mother and son run a chemical company. shop.

According to the deceased's uncle, Zhou Yaoquan and Luo Shufen divorced more than ten years ago. The young Zhou Junlong lived with his mother and his childhood was poor.Later, Zhou Yaoquan remarried and gave birth to Zhou Shaolong. Although he lived not far from his ex-wife, he had no contact with his ex-wife for more than ten years, and he didn't even visit his eldest son when he was sick.Because of this, although the two brothers occasionally met on the road, Zhou Shaolong did not know that he had an older brother. The hatred for the ex-husband and the lack of fatherly love in childhood are the motives for killing to vent anger, so the mother and son may be the murderers.

Zhenzhen and I went to the chemical store run by Luo Shufen's mother and son. Before entering the store, we asked the nearby stores about their current situation. The information we collected is summarized as follows: 1. The life of their mother and son was very difficult in the past. Later, with the help of relatives and friends to open this chemical shop, life improved. 2. Zhou Junlong, who is 18 years old, did not achieve satisfactory results in the college entrance examination just passed, and has given up the idea of ​​going to university. Now he helps in a chemical shop and sells the products in the shop online.

3. Luo Shufen would often unconsciously express her hatred for Zhou Yaoquan, and said that if her ex-husband died, she would never let her son go to the funeral. 4. Zhou Junlong usually has a good temper and is very polite to others, but when he mentions his father's family, he will become stern. 5. Zhou Junlong used to go to the orphanage as a volunteer, but he seldom went there in the past year. Based on this information, a lot of ideas came to my mind. According to Meilong, Zhou Shaolong started to help out in the orphanage a year ago, so Zhou Junlong, who often went to the orphanage before that, would definitely meet this half-brother younger brother.If Zhou Junlong was reduced to an orphanage in order to cope with the college entrance examination in the past year, then his grades should not be so bad.Therefore, I think the reason why he didn't go to the orphanage should be because he didn't want to have contact with his brother.

However, there is a beautiful embryo called Meilong in the orphanage, and Zhou Junlong, who is about the same age, will definitely not remain unmoved. Maybe he often goes to the orphanage just to get in touch with Meilong, there must be a lot of meaning in this.Of course, this is just my guess, and I need more evidence to judge whether my guess is correct. Zhen Zhen and I walked into this small chemical store with a complete range of products. A woman in her forties immediately stepped forward and asked us what we needed. Zhenzhen wanted to take out her police ID to identify herself, but I motioned her to be quiet and said to the woman, "Is there formic acid here?"

"There are ten-kilogram and twenty-five-kilogram packages, how much do you want to buy?" She replied without any intention. Only then did I show my police ID: "Hello, my name is Mu Shenyu, and I'm a criminal police officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Are you Luo Shufen?" "Yes, yes, I am Luo Shufen, what can you do with me?" She looked very panicked, but she couldn't judge that she had done something bad. In fact, most people would panic when the police came to their door. It seems that only those punks who have to report to the police station almost every day will smile at us.

"Ten days ago in the evening, where were you, what were you doing, was there anyone with you?" I paid special attention to the changes in her eyes when I spoke. "I should have looked at the shop here at the time. My place is open until eight o'clock in the evening every day." Her eyes were the same. "Where's your son? Where was he?" She froze for a moment: "He, he and I are looking at the store too." I glared at her sternly, and she immediately averted my gaze.I said seriously: "We have inquired about the nearby shops, and they all said that your son usually comes to help look after the shop at noon and let you go home to cook, and he usually doesn't come in the evening." "He, he usually doesn't come over in the evening, but he came that day." Her tone faltered, making people feel that she was lying. "It was more than a week ago, do you still remember it so clearly?" "He rarely comes here at this time, so I am particularly impressed." "Oh," I walked away a few steps, pretending to browse the chemical supplies in the store, and casually asked about the prices of the products. After she relaxed a little, I asked, "It's Saturday, so the business should be okay!" She smiled flatteringly: "We mainly do factory business, and weekends are usually relatively light." "Your son is too strange. He doesn't come to help when the business is good, but he comes when there is not much business." She smiled shyly: "He opened a store online, and he usually has to go online to answer customers' questions, and here I can do it alone." "Your son knew you were busy, so he didn't come over to help, and he didn't come over on Friday ten days ago either." Her face suddenly turned pale, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing.I said again: "It doesn't matter if your son is here or not on Saturday evening, because what I want to know is the day before, that is, the day his brother Zhou Shaolong disappeared. If you still want to lie to me, be careful and I will first Detain you for ten and a half months, and then have a slow interrogation of your son." "My son is very obedient and obedient. He never does bad things, and he doesn't associate with his bastard father's family. The bastard has nothing to do with him. Don't arrest him!" She told me not to arrest him Her son, but she grabbed my hand excitedly. "I didn't say I wanted to arrest him, I just wanted to ask him something..." In order to get more information from her, I first comforted her and told her that we were just looking for her son to ask about something, not to arrest him . Because Zhou Junlong will come to visit the store in a while and let his mother go home to cook, so we are not in a hurry to find him, but first ask his mother about the situation of their mother and son.The divorced mother, with tears in her eyes, told us about the bitter history since she divorced her ex-husband—— When I divorced that bastard, Junlong was only over three years old. As a woman, I have to take care of him and work at the same time. You can imagine how hard it is.In addition, I have no skills, no matter how hard I work, life is still very hard.We, mother and son, are living so hard, but that bastard only cares about his own life and happiness, and never cares about us, even if Junlong is sick, he doesn't even pay a visit, let alone help us. Fortunately, God has eyes. After entering middle school, Junlong often went to help in the nearby orphanage. Dean Lu there was very kind. After knowing our situation, he helped us get a business license for a chemical shop. A relative borrowed a sum of money to open the store.Because it is not easy to get a license for a chemical shop, and there are not many nearby, so the business is still going well, and our life is getting better gradually. I thought that everything would go smoothly in the future, but I didn’t expect Junlong’s college entrance examination results to be so poor, but it’s okay, by running this store, we don’t have to worry about living... This hard-working mother told us a lot, but most of them just vomited bitterness and scolded her ex-husband.From her words, I got only three pieces of information: 1. Our mother and son are good people; 2. The ex-husbands are all bad people;The first two pieces of information are her subjective judgments, meaningless to me, and the third one doesn't seem to be useful to me either.Wasted a morning listening to her nonsense. When I was already getting impatient with her nonsense, a teenager walked into the store: "Mom, you go back to cooking and let me serve the customers." "Hello, I'm Mu Shenyu, the criminal police officer. Are you Zhou Junlong?" I showed my police card to the visitor. "Yes, how can I help you? Mr. Interpol." He was indeed very polite, which may have something to do with his frequent visits to the orphanage. "You should know about your brother's murder!" "Sorry, my mother and son have only one son." He showed displeasure, and his tone was rather polite. "Then where were you in the evening ten days ago?" He thought for a moment: "It should be surfing the Internet at home. I am usually at home at this time." "Is there anyone who can prove that you were at home at the time?" "I opened an online store, selling the items here. I should have chatted with the buyer at that time. You can go to my house to check the chat history." He didn't show panic, but it didn't mean that what he said was true It must be the truth. "That can only prove that someone was using your computer and account at that time, it doesn't prove that you were at home." He thought about it again: "I almost deliver goods at five or six in the afternoon every day, and there should be one on that day. The courier can prove that I was at home at that time." I asked him for the phone number of the courier company and called to check. The reply was that a courier did come to his home to pick up the package that day.Although the other party did not say that he was the one who delivered the goods at that time, as long as he went to confirm with the courier, he would know. Then I asked to check the records and documents of the goods in and out of the store. They were very cooperative and did not obstruct them.Generally speaking, most of the factories that buy formic acid are factories, and buyers will definitely ask the store to issue an invoice, so it is easy to find out the sales situation.After checking the entry and exit records and documents, and comparing the inventory, I found that there was a 10kg barrel of formic acid missing. I looked through the goods entry and exit records again, and after confirming that a barrel of formic acid was indeed missing, I asked: "You don't sell much formic acid in your store. How could there be a barrel missing for no reason?" As far as goods are concerned, it is not uncommon for records to have errors, but those with fewer shipments generally do not have errors. Luo Shufen thought for a while and then gave me a perfunctory explanation: "Sometimes I'm busy, and I often forget to keep accounts." Of course, this explanation did not satisfy me, so I cast a puzzled look at her, and she responded with a smile . "I remembered," her son interrupted suddenly, "I sold that barrel of formic acid online." "Impossible, formic acid is a corrosive liquid, and the courier can't send it at all." There is no perfect lie in the world, and far-fetched explanations often backfire. Seizing this loophole may allow me to get more information. "I, I didn't send a courier, I traded face to face." He stuttered a little, and his expression was a little flustered. "Where is the transaction place? When? Who is the other party? What is the mobile phone number..." In order to cover up a lie, more lies must be told, but the more lies, the more mistakes and omissions.He was clearly incapable of responding to my barrage of questions. I grabbed his shoulders firmly and said seriously: "I will ask you for the last time, who did you sell this barrel of formic acid to! Giving a false confession is against the law, and based on this alone, I can arrest you and lock you up first." Fifteen days." Intimidation is almost inevitable in the process of extracting confessions. He was relatively calm just now, but he hurriedly replied after being frightened by me: "Dean Lu, I gave the bucket of formic acid to Dean Lu."
