Chapter 26 1. New Year's Eve

Liu Gang threw away the autopsy report in his hand, sighed, and leaned out of the window to look at the scenery. Qi Hong felt it was funny to see his hairy head rubbing against the glass, so he couldn't help asking what he was doing. "I'm feeling life in that world." Liu Gang wrinkled his nose and sniffed. "That world? Which world" "It's the world outside." Liu Gang turned his head and said angrily: "I think we have completely lost touch with the world outside. What is outside? It's New Year's Eve, and the flavor of the year is strong. Everyone is eager to go home. Hurry up, the world is full of joy, but what about here? There are only endless cases here, and there are no days and nights of work. No matter what time it is, they are buried in overwhelming reports and confessions. sky."

Qi Hong has seen this kind of situation a lot, and he has long been used to it. He sat firmly at the desk while looking at the materials while laughing at Liu Gang's irregular convulsions. Liu Gang complained for a while, seeing that there was no consensus, he went back depressed At the desk, looking down at the information, the door opened, and Yu Zheng and Chen Xiang walked in, carrying a big bag of snacks. Liu Gang finally regained his energy, jumped up like a fully inflated ball, and rushed towards Yu Zheng. With the bag in Zheng's hand, he yelled strangely: "Fortunately, some people still remember us poor people. Wow, my favorite beef jerky." As he said, he didn't forget to take out a few small bags and throw them to Qi Hong.

Yu Zheng looked at him amusedly and said, "I knew you were complaining again, it's like this every time, if you don't stuff your mouth with something, the office will definitely be flooded with your saliva." Liu Gang stuffed something into his mouth like a starving ghost, while defending: "Who said that, I'm just chattering. When I work, I always say the same thing." Seeing that Yu Zheng and Qi Hong showed disdainful expressions, they hurriedly greeted Chen Xiang , in order to change the subject: "I said Chen Xiang, today is New Year's Eve, the day to go home, look at these colleagues from our home, like Tang Tang, they rushed home a long time ago, we are forced by work I have no choice but to stay here until now, you are so good, you came here automatically, this is too dedicated."

Chen Xiang rubbed his shoulders and said, "I don't care, it's just me, it's the same everywhere." "where is your family?" "They're all abroad." "Then isn't it miserable for you to celebrate the festival alone?" Liu Gang widened his eyes: "I can only watch the Spring Festival Gala at home." "No, I grew up in England, and I don't pay much attention to festivals like the Spring Festival. I can live it however I want." Chen Xiang smiled: "Watching TV at home alone is more interesting than coming here to watch your work."

"Then let's start, don't you want to end it sooner?" Yu Zheng clapped his hands, everyone became serious, took the materials, gathered in front of his table, formed a circle, Yu Zheng said: "Take you two Let’s talk about the harvest of the day.” Qi Hong said: "We have only taken over this case for only two days, and we only had time to collect relevant materials. The deceased Li Jianbin, 32 years old, was a manager of a foreign trade company. He was found dead on the bed in his bedroom at noon on the 15th. At around 2 o'clock in the morning, this is the autopsy report of the deceased, after testing, there was a large amount of arsenic in the deceased's body, and the cause of death should be arsenic poisoning."

"Who found the body?" "His sister-in-law, Liang Xiaoyu, came to Qingdao half a year ago and is now staying at her sister's and her husband's house. According to her, she was with her boyfriend the night before, and when she came home at noon the next day, she found her brother-in-law's body." Liu Gang picked up the autopsy report and read: "Arsenic trioxide, the pure product is a white crystalline powder, easy to sublimate, has no special smell, and is very toxic. After entering the human body, it can destroy certain cellular respiratory enzymes, making tissue cells unable to obtain oxygen and die; It can also strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing mucosal ulceration and bleeding; it can also damage blood vessels, cause bleeding, and damage the liver. In severe cases, it will cause death due to respiratory and circulatory failure. Arsenic trioxide is what we commonly call arsenic.”

Yu Zheng asked, "Have you investigated the circumstances of the deceased?" "After investigation, he is a very ordinary person. He has been married for four years. He and his wife are both white-collar workers. They live a regular life, have no bad habits, and have no financial problems. This is the record of his family, colleagues, and friends who often contact him." Liu Gang handed the materials in his hand to Yu Zheng: "From the above, there is nothing suspicious, but we found out that one month before Li Jianbin was killed, he and his wife Liang Xiaoyun bought a high-value In insurance, the beneficiaries are each other. Once Li Jianbin dies, Liang Xiaoyun can get up to millions of insurance money. In addition, Li Jianbin has no relatives, and the houses and stocks he left add up to millions. Liang Xiaoyun has it all, and in terms of benefits, Liang Xiaoyun is the most suspected."

Yu Zheng said: "Since there are clues, why is the investigation deadlocked?" Liu Gang and Qi Hong frowned at the same time, Liu Gang spread his hands and said, "From the point of view of the greatest benefit and the greatest suspicion, the murderer is Liang Xiaoyun, but the problem is that she is a flight attendant, and she was on the plane the day Li Jianbin was killed, and she was not in Qingdao at all. .” "Have you checked it?" "It has been checked, and it will never be fake." Yu Zheng picked up Liang Xiaoyun's information and looked at it carefully. Chen Xiang leaned over and read: "Liang Xiaoyun, 29 years old, from Zibo, Qingdao, MH Airlines, flight attendant, has a younger sister named Liang Xiaoyu, unemployed, living at her sister's house before the incident, younger brother Liang Xiaojun, college student H, oh, college student, living on campus, hey, how can people of her age have younger siblings? Isn’t there family planning in China at that time?”

Liu Gang couldn't help laughing: "It's not easy, you did a lot of homework before returning to China, and you even know about family planning." Chen Xiang was a little proud but a little disapproving: "Everyone on Earth knows this policy. In the popular saying: I don't live on Mars." "Then let me ask you a question that everyone on Earth knows. How did the Spring Festival come about? Which of the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala is in charge of sensationalism and which one is in charge of making fun of it? What is Li Yong's standard posture?"

Chen Xiang's eyes widened and he couldn't speak for a long time. Yu Zheng knocked on the table and said, "Okay, okay, if you digress, you won't be able to go back before you ring the bell." Immediately back to business, everyone analyzed the limited data together, and then arranged the work plan for these two days, which was equivalent to looking up from the middle of the work, and it was already past 6 o'clock. He closed the file folder Said: "Okay, let's stop here today. During the holidays, we need to keep someone on duty. The three of us will be on duty for one day. Start with me. Do you have any opinions?"

Both Liu Gang and Qi Hong shook their heads. "Then let's get off work." Everyone packed up their things and went back to their respective homes. Liu Gang was in a hurry to go back to accompany his wife and slipped away impatiently. Qi Hong also greeted them and left. Looking at the lonely look in the crowd returning home, he quickly walked two steps to catch up with her and said, "Where are you going? I'll see you off." Chen Xiang shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm going home, but don't worry, your family is waiting for you, let's go." Yu Zheng's parents had already urged her by phone several times, and he was also eager to return, but Chen Xiang's strong appearance made him unable to move forward. He wanted to invite her to his home. How long did it take to be too abrupt to suppress this thought, and then couldn't help asking: "It's dark today, why are you still walking on the street? It's hard to call a car now, let me give you a ride .” "I just go shopping and buy something," Chen Xiang pointed to the small shop next to him, only to find that it had already closed, and there were very few people on the street, and they were all in a hurry. However, she shook her head firmly and said, "If you can't get a taxi, you can still take the bus. I'm not Miss Jiao. As a hot detective, why are you such a mother-in-law? Okay, let's go." , raised his hand and pushed him hard a few times. Yu Zheng had no choice but to give a few more instructions, and left by herself. Chen Xiang looked at his back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. She stood there blankly for a while, Then I started to walk forward again, staggering unhurriedly, I don’t know what I was thinking, and after walking about a few hundred meters, a black figure stood in front of me, and my hoarse voice passed through the cold wind: “Miss, the end of the year is sad. , give some benefits to let the brothers celebrate the new year." Chen Xiang was still immersed in his own world, and it took a long time before he came to his senses and let out an ah. The night is deep, but it is not calm, the sporadic firecrackers are getting more and more dense, and the sky is as bright as day.
