The mysterious shadow suddenly disappeared, which confused Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
Especially in the old community of black paint and black, this makes their pursuit ability impossible.
Outside the intersection is a back street alley. Even though it is nearly 11 p.m., people still come and go, because there are many old shops in the back street alley, and many nearby residents will choose to play cards here for recreation.
Therefore, at the door of each store, some local residents will gather more or less.
Gu Chen walked to the door of the community and suddenly saw a familiar figure coming towards his end.
Gu Chen squinted and found that it was Lao Cao, the doctor who was injured that day, so he stopped him in front of him and called him: "doctor Cao."
"Hmm?" Lao Cao didn't seem to notice Gu Chen. He was surprised by the sudden greeting.
The soles of the feet seemed to be greased and almost slipped.
"Officer Gu?" after a moment of reaction, the doctor Lao Cao finally recognized Gu Chen, and then saw Lu Weiwei next to Gu Chen. He also said with a strange look: "Why are you here?"
"We..."
"Let's do something here." before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen immediately interrupted.
Judging from the current situation, Gu Chen is not ready to tell him the news of Li Yumei's death.
Lao Cao also nodded silently, smiled and replied, "you're still working in this big night. You're a policeman. You're really like our doctors. You're all cattle and horses. It's hard."
"Ha ha, I'm flattered." Gu Chen tried to calm down, so he quickly asked him, "by the way, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? That's a good question." hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Cao directly sold the pass and pointed to his cheek:
"Didn't someone beat me into a pig's head last time? Lao Zhou said I lacked exercise and didn't even have the most basic defense ability."
"Also, Tucao said, if he's like him, practice a little free boxing skills, and estimate that people can't make complaints about it, and urge me to lose weight, so... So I will come here to fight a body training base on the basis of the introduction of Lao Zhou.
"Is there a Sanda training hall nearby?" Lu Weiwei was curious.
Lao Cao turned directly and pointed to a position in the rear and said, "go straight to the end here. There is a Sanda training hall at the intersection. The venue is quite large, so I signed up here and prepared to exercise."
After twisting his arm, Lao Cao said with a smile: "it's just the end of training. The whole body suddenly stretches out and is very comfortable. I just don't know if my body will have backache when I get up tomorrow?"
"After all, I haven't participated in sports for a long time. If I suddenly increase the amount of exercise, my body may not be able to adapt."
"So all the sweat on your forehead is from Sanda training hall?" Gu Chen looked at Lao Cao and asked him curiously.
Lao Cao nodded and echoed: "yes, after all, I came here late tonight. It happened that the Sanda training hall closed late today. I spent all my money, so I practiced in the training hall for a while."
While explaining to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei look wrong.
And suddenly appeared at the intersection of this community. Lao Cao immediately had some doubts and asked, "what are you two doing here?"
"Don't talk about this first." Gu Chen didn't want Lao Cao to know about Li Yumei, so he had to change the topic and said, "did you see a man running over there mysteriously?"
"Run over mysteriously?" old Cao smelled the speech, turned his head and looked at the curved Lane behind him. He also looked puzzled and said, "I came over there and didn't see anything."
"OK." knowing that there was nothing to ask from Lao Cao, Gu Chen changed his mind: "how are you going to go home? I remember your home should be far from here, so you're going to walk back?"
"It's quite far." Lao Cao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a light smile, "this is not the first day here today, so he's not very familiar with the road here."
"In particular, there are many old communities here. I feel dizzy at all kinds of turnouts. I don't know whether this lane can pass. After all, it's very narrow, so I park my car at the intersection over there, and then walk over. Now I'm ready to walk back, and then drive home."
"OK." Gu Chen kept these in mind, nodded silently, gave up a body position and said, "then go slowly."
"You should also pay attention to rest early. It's not good to stay up late to work." Lao Cao smiled perfunctorily, then carried his back with both hands and continued to walk to the end of the alley.
Seeing that Lao Cao's figure gradually disappeared, Lu Weiwei approached Gu Chen and reminded him, "do you think that dark figure could be Lao Cao?"
"Not sure." Gu Chen shook his head.
Lu Weiwei added, "I think it's a coincidence that he came here, and it's necessary to sweat when he came from the other side of the alley? Doesn't he wipe his sweat after exercise? I suspect he was chased by us, and then pretended to turn back and deliberately meet us."
"It's possible." Gu Chen sighed and could only take this as a possible option.
But the shadow did suddenly disappear on this road, and the mysterious shadow, isn't it Lao Cao? Gu Chen has no evidence now.
The key is that the lights of the whole alley are extremely dim, which brings trouble to Gu Chen's investigation.
Looking down at the time, Gu Chen reminded, "it's getting late. Let's go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau to see Li Yumei's autopsy, and then go back to Furong Branch to see if Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli have been brought here."
Gu Chen is now in a dilemma.
You know, Li Yumei was poisoned suddenly, and Li Dong was lured away by the card task. It can be seen that the murderer came for Li Yumei, and even the poison has been prepared.
It seems that everything is being manipulated by the man behind the scenes.
Gu Chen can't care too much now. He knows that it's hard to find the shadow in the big night.
It takes time here as scheduled. It's better to go and have a look at Li Yumei's autopsy.
……
……
11:40 p.m.
In the test room of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, maple takakawa is making the final matching and verification of Li Yumei's vomit and toxins in her body.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha sat quietly aside.
Running back and forth makes everyone physically and mentally tired.
Fortunately, we just need to sit here and wait quietly for the results.
After the test, a forensic assistant checked and drew on the form, and then took it to Feng Gaochuan.
Gao Chuanfeng also made the final confirmation in front of the instrument. Then he completed the autopsy report form, turned to Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Chen, the test results come out."
"What's the situation?" Gu Chen quickly looked up and asked him.
"It's poisonous ginseng," said maple takakawa.
"Poison ginseng?" hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen immediately stood up and said, "you mean, the poison Li Yumei took is poison ginseng?"
"That's right." takakawa Feng picked up the test report on the table, stood up directly, walked to Gu Chen, then stuffed the report into Gu Chen and said:
"After our detection of Li Yumei's vomit and substances in her body, we found that both vomit and substances in her body contain toxic ginseng."
"What on earth is this thing? Is it so toxic? Just because it carries the word 'poison'?" Lu Weiwei doesn't know much, but she knows it's toxic just by listening to the name.
Gu Chen breathed deeply into his airway: "poison ginseng, also known as celery leaf hook kiss, is a plant of the genus poison ginseng in the class dicotyledons, Umbelliferae and Umbelliferae."
"Moreover, the whole grass is poisonous, and the fruit, especially the seed, is the most poisonous."
Looking at the report in hand, Gu Chen also continued to explain: "however, this kind of thing is generally distributed in Europe, North Africa, North America, Asia and Northwest China."
"And it usually grows in areas with an altitude of 600 to 1700 meters. It often grows on the edge of forests or farmland. There is no such plant in our South."
"Then how did you come here?" officer Wang came over and gathered around Gu Chen to read the report.
Gu Chen directly handed the report to officer Wang, but he couldn't help saying, "speaking of poisonous ginseng, there are many scientific names, such as deadly poisonous ginseng, poisonous celery and snake grass."
"There is also a kind of water poisonous ginseng, which is generally called mad grass, cow poisonous grass or beaver poisonous grass."
"Moreover, the whole plants of these two plants are toxic, and the younger plants may be more toxic than the mature plants."
"If a person has poisoning symptoms, they will appear within 20 to 60 minutes, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mydriasis, foaming, weak pulse, dyspnea, muscle weakness, spasms and convulsions, and Li Yumei obviously has these special diagnoses."
"That's right." listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Gao Chuanfeng echoed, "and in this case, muscle paralysis often occurs and artificial respiration must be carried out, so the victims often suffocate due to respiratory failure."
"But after poisoning, it will take a long time to die, so there will be a gap in the middle."
"Yes." after hearing Gao Chuanfeng's supplement, Gu Chen suddenly brightened his eyes and turned to face everyone: "I know the murderer has been staying near Li Yumei's house, because if it is calculated according to the time when Li Yumei died of poisoning."
"Even if she is poisoned, she can't die in a short time. It takes 20 to 60 minutes for poisoning symptoms alone."
"Li Dong left at 7:10 p.m. and didn't get home until about 10 p.m. for nearly three hours, Li Yumei was unattended."
After a pause, Gu Chen tried to adjust his thinking and continued to add: "if the toxic attack takes 20 to 60 minutes, he will not die immediately after poisoning. At least it will take a few hours."
"If these conditions are met, the killer must give poison ginseng to Li Yumei after 7:10 p.m., that is, within a short time after Li Dong left Li Yumei's house, so that Li Yumei could be poisoned and die before Li Dong went home."
"Eh?" after Gu Chen said this, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized it and quickly added:
"Younger martial brother Gu, if you don't remind me, I forgot. Li Dong said he found Li Yumei dead after he went home, and then dialed our phone number."
"And our autopsy also found that the time of death was really around Li Dong's home."
"This shows that as soon as Li Donggang came home, Li Yumei also just died of poisoning. There won't be a long difference between before and after."
"According to the poisoning process and time you just mentioned, the killer must have finished poisoning in a very short time after 7:10 p.m., so the killer was likely to hide near the corridor and wait for Li Dong to leave."
The voice fell and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knows very well that Lu Weiwei is right.
The murderer is so cunning that he can calculate Li Dong's departure.
Gu Chen also had a headache. In order to complete the task assigned by the behind the scenes manipulator, this guy even threw his aunt aside.
Originally, Gu Chen also had hope for Li Dong that he could get some clues from his Aunt Li Yumei.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
But it's hard for ordinary people to get poison ginseng. Maybe there will be some in the drugstore. Gu Chen can only start here first.
After returning, mobilize people, go to a drugstore to investigate, try to find the whereabouts of poison ginseng.
Seeing that officer Wang saw the autopsy report almost, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Huang Zunlong.
Before long, the phone was connected. When he learned that the two women Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli had been taken back to the police station, Gu Chen hung up the phone and resolutely reminded him, "the two women have been taken back to the police station. We have to go there now."
"OK." officer Wang nodded and directly motioned the people to follow Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also exchanged a few words with Gao Chuanfeng, then hurriedly left the testing room and drove straight to Furong Branch.
15:00 in the morning.
When Gu Chen hurried to interrogation room 1, Zhuang Ting, a tall and thin woman, had stayed there.
And her companion Xu Xiaoli is also next door.
Gu Chen had to interrogate them separately, so he asked yuan Shasha to adjust the camera and sat there directly: "Zhuang Ting, we meet again."
"Yes, we met at Li Yumei's house. I opened the door for you at that time, but..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhuang Ting wondered, "it's just this big night. What do you want to do when you bring me here?"
"Li Yumei is dead," said Lu Weiwei.
"What... What? Li Yumei is dead?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was obviously startled.
Suddenly with surprised eyes, he seemed to be completely unable to believe it. He asked weakly, "when did it happen?"
"It's around 10 o'clock tonight," Gu Chen said.
"Is it death? No, we were fine when we left. How could we suddenly..."
Zhuang Ting didn't seem to understand, but she thought it was Li Yumei's nephew Li Dong who took her away. Zhuang Ting suddenly brightened her eyes and hurriedly said, "I know. It must not be death, right? Is it Li Dong?"
"It's Li Dong's police," officer Wang reminded.
Zhuang Ting was stunned and said, "he called the police? But we've always been fine taking care of Li Yumei. Why did he die as soon as he took care of others? This... What's going on? What did he do to his aunt?"
"Be quiet."
Seeing that Zhuang Ting began to get excited, Gu Chen also reminded him.
But Zhuang Ting kept asking Gu Chen, "officer Gu, what the hell is going on? How does Li Dong take care of people? You have to give an explanation?"
"We have a detailed record of what he said." Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and stared at Zhuang ting in front of him. He also continued to ask her:
"But there's another thing I don't know very well. You're not Li Yumei's niece, are you?"
"Ah?"
When Gu Chen suddenly reveals her identity, Zhuang Ting is stunned subconsciously.
But Gu Chen continued to ask, "not only are you not Li Yumei's niece, nor is Xu Xiaoli, including the people who stay at Li Yumei's house. None of them is Li Yumei's relative, am I right?"
It seemed that the police had the specific information of everyone, and Zhuang Ting was stunned and unimaginable.
After all, it is difficult for the police to investigate the details of so many people if they do not use big data for investigation.
But in such a short period of time, the identity of everyone was revealed. Obviously, the police are very efficient in investigating cases.
This made Zhuang Ting, who always regarded herself as Li Yumei's niece, feel at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that Zhuang Ting was mute at the moment, Lu Weiwei knocked on the table and reminded, "what's the matter with you? Isn't it?"
"Yes... Yes." Zhuang Ting was ashamed and could only lower her head silently.
Lu Weiwei shook her head and asked her curiously, "you said you were not related to Li Yumei. Why should you take care of Li Yumei? So many people came all at once?"
Zhuang Ting bowed her head and said nothing.
Lu Weiwei added: "and we also found out that you people have criminal records, and most of you have been in prison, including Zhuang ting."
"But what does that mean?" Zhuang Ting listened to Lu Weiwei's words and bowed her head.
Lu Weiwei was indifferent and said, "yes, it doesn't mean anything. When one or two people with criminal records get together, I won't say anything and there is no discrimination in this regard."
"But suddenly more than a dozen people with criminal convictions gathered at Li Yumei's house, and these people were not Li Yumei's relatives, but regarded themselves as Li Yumei's' relatives and friends'."
"And you and Xu Xiaoli still live in Li Yumei's house and take care of Li Yumei day and night. What do you mean?"
The voice fell and the scene was silent.
Zhuang Ting seems to have been asked into the depths of her soul.
At this moment, the police seem to know the details of themselves and their companions well.
Generally, few people outside know about having a criminal record, including the important tasks gathered in Li Yumei's family. Everyone has a criminal record, and no one knows about it.
But now the police dig out these things without reservation.
On the one hand, Zhuang Ting was very angry and felt discriminated against.
But on the other hand, Zhuang Ting was also very timid. The police investigated everyone's situation clearly in a very short time.
This is also a side reaction. These policemen are not easy to mess with.
"What else do you have to say?" seeing Zhuang Ting still standing there, Gu Chen also reminded.
Zhuang Ting sighed and said helplessly:
"You may not believe it. Xu Xiaoli and I have been working together before. We also do business with Li Yumei's unit. Li Yumei even took a stake in our business."
"I know this." Gu Chen has already understood it and reminded him, "you say the point."
"Good." hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhuang Ting was also surprised.
I didn't expect the police to know all this.
But think of Li Dong. Zhuang Ting was relieved again. It must have been explained by Li Dong.
Thinking that Gu Chen should listen to the key points, Zhuang Ting had to tell the truth: "we have a partnership with Li Yumei, so the relationship is naturally very good. Logically, Li Yumei is hospitalized after surgery, which doesn't matter to us."
"But one day, we suddenly received a white card, this white card..."
"What are you talking about?"
Before Zhuang Ting finished speaking, Lu Weiwei was stunned and said, "you said you received a white card? Is there a white card with a task on it?"
"You... How do you know?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was stunned. She felt like a ghost. It seemed that she didn't even have the last bit of privacy.
Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her, and Gu Chen directly explained: "you don't have to be surprised, because Li Dong has received similar white cards before, so your card is also a task, right?"
"Yes." facing Gu Chen's question, Zhuang Ting is completely flustered now.
But it was also found that Li Dong was also the one who accepted the game task, which made Zhuang Ting difficult to accept and even had lingering palpitations.
"You go on." Gu Chen recorded these and continued to ask questions.
Zhuang Ting nodded silently, stunned and said, "Xu Xiaoli and I felt very strange at that time, because before that, we were often entangled by some trouble."
"Sometimes, when I wake up, there is a dead cat hanging on the handle at the door."
"Sometimes when walking on the road, the vase will suddenly fall from the sky and fall next to you. There are all kinds of strange things. After all, the tire is flat. After inspection, it is found that someone has punctured the tire."
With a deep breath, Zhuang Ting covered her face with both hands, trying to calm her mood. Then she said, "I don't know what's the matter? Is it a prank after sleeping?"
"But until one day, a mysterious white card was clamped on my window. At first, I thought it was an ordinary small advertising card."
"But when I walked in and looked, I found that the card was polished, but there was a task prompt on the back, saying that I was asked to go to the vegetable farm to take care of an old man's business, spend 100 yuan, buy her vegetables, and return the money to me. When it was ready, it was hidden inside the vehicle tire."
Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other in surprise.
Because this is almost as like as two peas in Li Dong's experience, even the trouble that Zhuang Ting encountered.
But when Zhuang Ting was ready to continue to explain, Lu Weiwei took the first step: "and the second task is to let you go to the outside of a shopping mall to take care of an old man's barbecue stand business?"
"Then I gave you 90 yuan to take care of the barbecue stand business for three consecutive days, and you can only spend 30 yuan each time, right?"
Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhuang Ting was numb.
Lu Weiwei seems to have magical eyes. She can even know what she is doing.
This completely overturned Zhuang Ting's previous cognition.
"You..."
Zhuang Ting can't sit still.
Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly comforted her and said, "you don't have to feel strange. How do we know? Because Li Dong has encountered the same difficulties as you."
"It can be said that the first two tasks, the behind the scenes manipulator, almost arranged the same tasks as Li Dong, but what is the third task? Taking care of Li Yumei?"
Gu Chen guessed at random.
At this time, Zhuang Ting was already trembling with fear and felt that she was a transparent person.
But Gu Chen asked, and he couldn't help saying it. He could only nod and respond: "you're right. The third card task is to take care of Li Yumei."
"I didn't agree at first. I felt that the first two tasks were barely acceptable. I thought someone was playing a prank."
"But when we didn't help take care of Li Yumei at the agreed time, I opened the door one day and found a bag of bloody animal viscera hanging on the door handle of my house."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Ting directly covered her mouth and had some symptoms of vomiting.
It seems that Zhuang Ting has some nausea when she thinks of these bloody animal viscera.
"The same as like as two peas." Lu Weiwei looked terrified and looked at Gu Chen. "Even the threat means the same. Is this behind the scenes manipulator able to eat the mind of a man?"
"Did Li Dong also receive animal viscera?" Zhuang Ting said with her stomach covered.
Gu Chen sighed as like as two peas, nodding his head in silence. "Yes, it is exactly the same as yours."
"Well, this man is really cruel." Zhuang Ting patted her chest and tried to adjust her breathing. Then she said, "after receiving that bag of bloody animal viscera, I can't stand it. I feel that the man will kill me at any time."
"Moreover, I don't know who that person is? Why do you torture me like this? I can't help it. I can only obey orders and start living in Li Yumei's house with Xu Xiaoli to take care of Li Yumei's daily life."
Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen suddenly sat up straight and looked like a torch. He also asked her solemnly: "tell me the truth, has Li Yumei recovered well after she was discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes." Zhuang Ting nodded.
"Is it your 'masterpiece' for Li Yumei to become what she is today?" Gu Chen asked again.
But this time, Zhuang Ting hesitated.
But Gu Chen also clearly saw the answer from Zhuang Ting's Micro expression.
Zhuang Ting nodded reluctantly after repeatedly hesitating for a few seconds.
"Sure enough, you did it?" when Lu Weiwei saw Zhuang Ting admit it voluntarily, she didn't have a good way:
"So Li Yumei's body is getting worse and worse day by day. She is still like this. All this is thanks to you?"
"We don't want to, but we are afraid of the mysterious man." Zhuang Ting explained with tears and grievances:
"Since taking care of Li Yumei, we often receive white cards and even some drugs, including... Including..."
Halfway through, Zhuang Ting suddenly couldn't go on.
Officer Wang was a little impatient and had no good way: "what does it include? Can you speak completely?"
Zhuang Ting lowered her head and was ashamed. She took the initiative to explain: "including the drugs that officer Gu said in the room that day that may lead to Li Yumei's physical condition, you're right, almost right."
"So that day, Xu Xiaoli panicked. She felt that you were a little powerful and knew some medical skills, so she pretended to be calm and asked you for advice about Li Yumei's physical condition with an open mind, in order to dispel your doubts about us."
"So you gave Li Yumei medicine?" Gu Chen frowned and asked.
Zhuang Ting nodded silently: "in recent months, she has been doing what the mysterious man asked. I don't know why the man tortured Li Yumei?"
"I'm so scared, Xu Xiaoli is also scared, but those drugs often appear in front of us on the day when Li Yumei finishes taking them. I feel that the person has already calculated the dosage and is always ready to deliver them to us."
With a faint sigh, Zhuang Ting also covered her cheek and didn't have a good airway: "so, in this way, we took Li Yumei medicine to make Li Yumei's body worse day by day, which directly led to subsequent stroke, paraplegia and aphasia."
"Seeing that Li Yumei has become a puppet and can't take care of herself at all, we feel guilty, but suddenly one day, many vehicles stopped downstairs, that is, the group of people you saw in Li Yumei's living room also knocked at the door."
"What are they doing here?" Gu Chen put these on record and asked Zhuang ting.
Zhuang Ting was listless and said, "they also received the card prompt and came to gather. They said they wanted to find the hospital to settle accounts and stand out for Li Yumei."
"And everyone exchanged with each other to know that everyone was the same. At that moment, we were all confused."
"Is there such a thing?" listening to Zhuang Ting's account, Yuan Shasha make complaints about it.
"Together with all of you, are you willing to be the puppet of this behind the scenes manipulator? What's the matter with you?"
"I don't know what's going on?" Zhuang Ting cried. She was also depressed. She also cried on the interrogation chair:
"Everyone is threatened. Some even don't know what we have encountered. There are also broken fingers by animals and all kinds of dissected animal corpses. Anyway, everyone is scared and feels that the other party is a pervert."
"But under the threat of each other and the treasure of their own lives, everyone gradually gathered together to complete the operator's game and accept this wonderful task in order to protect their lives."
"What does he really want to do?" Gu Chen frowned, feeling a little incredible.
Do these people really accept the task because they are afraid of death?
At first Gu Chen didn't believe it, but later he gradually found that Li Dong would rather complete the task by himself than call the police.
The mysterious behind the scenes manipulators have tortured the psychology of these people to a great extent.
But if you are honest, why should you be afraid of these?
But think again, these people have criminal records. Maybe this is their weakness?
But if so, what's the matter with Li Dong? Did Li Dong have a criminal record before?
Gu Chen feels that after returning, he still needs to make another investigation on Li Dong.
During the subsequent trial of Zhuang Ting, Gu Chen learned that the original medical trouble was all directed by the behind the scenes manipulator.
In fact, we do not know what the purpose of this is? But I took part in it twice.
Gu Chen especially doesn't understand that the murderer can easily kill Li Yumei, but why should he let these people take all the trouble?
Is there another secret?
At least Gu Chen is not clear at present.
But when Gu Chen thinks according to his own way of thinking, he comes to the conclusion that the manipulator may take these people as his own chess pieces and command him to do anything at will.
And Li Yumei, simply let her take medicine, tortured Li Yumei not like an adult, perhaps the biggest idea of the behind the scenes manipulator?
After all, among these people, Li Yumei is the worst one. Maybe she has some roots with the behind the scenes manipulators?
After the interrogation, Gu Chen's team asked Xu Xiaoli in interrogation room 2 next door.
The results obtained are basically the same as those explained by Zhuang ting. All the explanations are very consistent.
This makes Gu Chen feel that things seem to become more and more strange.
……
……
The next morning, when the sun just rose, Gu Chen began to take everyone busy.
When the trial ended last night, it was already 2 a.m.
Everyone went to work at 7 a.m. and slept for more than 4 hours except washing their faces, brushing their teeth and eating.
He Junchao is the worst among the people, and the panda eye is also the most serious.
Gu Chen will trouble he Junchao when he comes, which makes him miserable.
And last night, the shadow Gu Chen tracked disappeared, which requires he Junchao to give full play to his ability to find out who the mysterious man is.
But the old community is not monitored, which makes he Junchao a headache.
At first, Gu Chen suspected that the shadow was the doctor Lao Cao. After all, the time to see Lao Cao was just right. It was just when the shadow disappeared.
Moreover, Lao Cao's forehead still had beads of sweat, obviously after strenuous exercise.
And that night, Lu Weiwei and I chased the shadow, which was exciting enough. If ordinary people were chased like this, their heads would sweat, and they would be panting.
In addition, Li Yumei died of poisoning caused by taking poisonous ginseng, and her health deteriorated due to the drugs she had taken before.
Obviously, these all need some medical knowledge, and Lao Cao happens to be a senior doctor, which meets these conditions very much.
However, Gu Chen resolutely gave up his doubts about Lao Cao after he Junchao's investigation.
Because there is no monitoring in the alley, but there is at the gate of the fitness club.
Gu Chen calculated the time through the monitoring at the door of the Sanda fitness club. Lao Cao really came out of the fitness club at the right time and then went to the alley.
At this time, Gu Chen saw the dark shadow in the crowd.
Unless Lao Cao has separation skills, he will never appear at the scene of the crime for onlookers, and he is absolutely not clear about what happened at the scene, nor can he calculate the arrival time of the police.
Everything seems to rule out Lao Cao's suspicion, which can only be explained by coincidence.
Put aside these scattered, Gu Chen consulted everyone's information again, hoping to find some clues from these people.
After all, all these guys with criminal records received white cards.
Gu Chen believes that the murderer will never be chosen randomly, otherwise these people will not all have criminal records.
But when you think about it, there may be some connections among these people.
With this in mind, Gu Chen began to nail all the personal information files of these people on the whiteboard with colored magnet, and began to carry out the same analysis of everyone's situation.
After a round of quick reading, Gu Chen found the first similarity, that is, these people are all not local people in Jiangnan City.
Most of them come from Haidong City, some from Jiangbei, some from southwest, and some from neighboring counties and cities.
But if these people come from all over the world, how did the killer get them together?
According to this idea, Gu Chen conducted the second round of screening, but suddenly found that the last person who came to Jiangnan City was half a year ago.
Others, though not in the south of the Yangtze River, registered residence in Jiangnan City for a long time.
During this period, everyone worked in Jiangnan City, which made Gu Chen very curious.
So the third round of investigation continued.
This time, Gu Chen was more careful than ever, and began to find the so-called common ground in the way of time axis from the first time these people were imprisoned.
After careful investigation, Gu Chen has been sketching on the draft paper for a while, but suddenly found that most people had the experience of staying in Haidong city in May 15 years ago.
Gu Chen seems to have found something and quickly begins to summarize the timeline of the remaining personnel.
Because of the similarities found among these people, Gu Chen did not go to see other information, and directly investigated other personnel in May 15 years ago.
Although this time record does not appear in the information records of some people, six or seven of the more than a dozen people have experienced staying in Haidong city at the same time.
This made Gu Chen suddenly feel that perhaps these people had been in Haidong city for some time in May 15 years ago.
Because these people are either habitual thieves or habitual robbers, they gather in Haidong city. Gu Chen feels that things are not simple.
So he came back to his desk with the draft of investigation and began to use the computer to search for the news and information of Haidong city in May 15 years ago.
Gu Chen used the most stupid method to directly search for relevant entries in Haidong city from May 1 to May 31 15 years ago.
Soon, a fire news came into sight, and Gu Chen even read it:
"In May 21st, a residential fire broke out in East High Town, Haidong City, killing two people. After the investigation, it was found that the deceased was a pair of mother and son......"
Gu Chen continued to read other information, and the news introduction was basically similar, but no matter how Gu Chen looked up, the cause of the fire was only explained as improper use of fire, which was a relatively general investigation.
Throughout may, it seems that only this news makes Gu Chen feel a little confused, but not sure.
"Younger martial brother Gu, what are you thinking?" seeing Gu Chen fiddling in front of the whiteboard for a long time and making various inquiries on the computer, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen curiously and felt that Gu Chen should have found out the problem.
Gu Chen didn't hide and tuck in. He directly told Lu Weiwei, "I found a problem. Although these people come from all over the world, it's strange that they all went to Haidong city in May 15 years ago."
"Have you all been to Haidong city?" Lu Weiwei heard it, immediately came to the spirit, quickly reminded Gu Chen and said: "so, these people gathered on a large scale 15 years ago?"
"Yes," Gu Chen nodded and continued, "and I checked the news in Haidong city in May 15 years ago. It seems that there is no other news except a strange fire."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again, "so I want to go to Haidong city to see if I can find some useful clues."

(two in one chapter)
The mysterious shadow suddenly disappeared, which confused Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
Especially in the old community of black paint and black, this makes their pursuit ability impossible.
Outside the intersection is a back street alley. Even though it is nearly 11 p.m., people still come and go, because there are many old shops in the back street alley, and many nearby residents will choose to play cards here for recreation.
Therefore, at the door of each store, some local residents will gather more or less.
Gu Chen walked to the door of the community and suddenly saw a familiar figure coming towards his end.
Gu Chen squinted and found that it was Lao Cao, the doctor who was injured that day, so he stopped him in front of him and called him: "doctor Cao."
"Hmm?" Lao Cao didn't seem to notice Gu Chen. He was surprised by the sudden greeting.
The soles of the feet seemed to be greased and almost slipped.
"Officer Gu?" after a moment of reaction, the doctor Lao Cao finally recognized Gu Chen, and then saw Lu Weiwei next to Gu Chen. He also said with a strange look: "Why are you here?"
"We..."
"Let's do something here." before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen immediately interrupted.
Judging from the current situation, Gu Chen is not ready to tell him the news of Li Yumei's death.
Lao Cao also nodded silently, smiled and replied, "you're still working in this big night. You're a policeman. You're really like our doctors. You're all cattle and horses. It's hard."
"Ha ha, I'm flattered." Gu Chen tried to calm down, so he quickly asked him, "by the way, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? That's a good question." hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Cao directly sold the pass and pointed to his cheek:
"Didn't someone beat me into a pig's head last time? Lao Zhou said I lacked exercise and didn't even have the most basic defense ability."
"Also, Tucao said, if he's like him, practice a little free boxing skills, and estimate that people can't make complaints about it, and urge me to lose weight, so... So I will come here to fight a body training base on the basis of the introduction of Lao Zhou.
"Is there a Sanda training hall nearby?" Lu Weiwei was curious.
Lao Cao turned directly and pointed to a position in the rear and said, "go straight to the end here. There is a Sanda training hall at the intersection. The venue is quite large, so I signed up here and prepared to exercise."
After twisting his arm, Lao Cao said with a smile: "it's just the end of training. The whole body suddenly stretches out and is very comfortable. I just don't know if my body will have backache when I get up tomorrow?"
"After all, I haven't participated in sports for a long time. If I suddenly increase the amount of exercise, my body may not be able to adapt."
"So all the sweat on your forehead is from Sanda training hall?" Gu Chen looked at Lao Cao and asked him curiously.
Lao Cao nodded and echoed: "yes, after all, I came here late tonight. It happened that the Sanda training hall closed late today. I spent all my money, so I practiced in the training hall for a while."
While explaining to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei look wrong.
And suddenly appeared at the intersection of this community. Lao Cao immediately had some doubts and asked, "what are you two doing here?"
"Don't talk about this first." Gu Chen didn't want Lao Cao to know about Li Yumei, so he had to change the topic and said, "did you see a man running over there mysteriously?"
"Run over mysteriously?" old Cao smelled the speech, turned his head and looked at the curved Lane behind him. He also looked puzzled and said, "I came over there and didn't see anything."
"OK." knowing that there was nothing to ask from Lao Cao, Gu Chen changed his mind: "how are you going to go home? I remember your home should be far from here, so you're going to walk back?"
"It's quite far." Lao Cao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a light smile, "this is not the first day here today, so he's not very familiar with the road here."
"In particular, there are many old communities here. I feel dizzy at all kinds of turnouts. I don't know whether this lane can pass. After all, it's very narrow, so I park my car at the intersection over there, and then walk over. Now I'm ready to walk back, and then drive home."
"OK." Gu Chen kept these in mind, nodded silently, gave up a body position and said, "then go slowly."
"You should also pay attention to rest early. It's not good to stay up late to work." Lao Cao smiled perfunctorily, then carried his back with both hands and continued to walk to the end of the alley.
Seeing that Lao Cao's figure gradually disappeared, Lu Weiwei approached Gu Chen and reminded him, "do you think that dark figure could be Lao Cao?"
"Not sure." Gu Chen shook his head.
Lu Weiwei added, "I think it's a coincidence that he came here, and it's necessary to sweat when he came from the other side of the alley? Doesn't he wipe his sweat after exercise? I suspect he was chased by us, and then pretended to turn back and deliberately meet us."
"It's possible." Gu Chen sighed and could only take this as a possible option.
But the shadow did suddenly disappear on this road, and the mysterious shadow, isn't it Lao Cao? Gu Chen has no evidence now.
The key is that the lights of the whole alley are extremely dim, which brings trouble to Gu Chen's investigation.
Looking down at the time, Gu Chen reminded, "it's getting late. Let's go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau to see Li Yumei's autopsy, and then go back to Furong Branch to see if Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli have been brought here."
Gu Chen is now in a dilemma.
You know, Li Yumei was poisoned suddenly, and Li Dong was lured away by the card task. It can be seen that the murderer came for Li Yumei, and even the poison has been prepared.
It seems that everything is being manipulated by the man behind the scenes.
Gu Chen can't care too much now. He knows that it's hard to find the shadow in the big night.
It takes time here as scheduled. It's better to go and have a look at Li Yumei's autopsy.
……
……
11:40 p.m.
In the test room of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, maple takakawa is making the final matching and verification of Li Yumei's vomit and toxins in her body.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha sat quietly aside.
Running back and forth makes everyone physically and mentally tired.
Fortunately, we just need to sit here and wait quietly for the results.
After the test, a forensic assistant checked and drew on the form, and then took it to Feng Gaochuan.
Gao Chuanfeng also made the final confirmation in front of the instrument. Then he completed the autopsy report form, turned to Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Chen, the test results come out."
"What's the situation?" Gu Chen quickly looked up and asked him.
"It's poisonous ginseng," said maple takakawa.
"Poison ginseng?" hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen immediately stood up and said, "you mean, the poison Li Yumei took is poison ginseng?"
"That's right." takakawa Feng picked up the test report on the table, stood up directly, walked to Gu Chen, then stuffed the report into Gu Chen and said:
"After our detection of Li Yumei's vomit and substances in her body, we found that both vomit and substances in her body contain toxic ginseng."
"What on earth is this thing? Is it so toxic? Just because it carries the word 'poison'?" Lu Weiwei doesn't know much, but she knows it's toxic just by listening to the name.
Gu Chen breathed deeply into his airway: "poison ginseng, also known as celery leaf hook kiss, is a plant of the genus poison ginseng in the class dicotyledons, Umbelliferae and Umbelliferae."
"Moreover, the whole grass is poisonous, and the fruit, especially the seed, is the most poisonous."
Looking at the report in hand, Gu Chen also continued to explain: "however, this kind of thing is generally distributed in Europe, North Africa, North America, Asia and Northwest China."
"And it usually grows in areas with an altitude of 600 to 1700 meters. It often grows on the edge of forests or farmland. There is no such plant in our South."
"Then how did you come here?" officer Wang came over and gathered around Gu Chen to read the report.
Gu Chen directly handed the report to officer Wang, but he couldn't help saying, "speaking of poisonous ginseng, there are many scientific names, such as deadly poisonous ginseng, poisonous celery and snake grass."
"There is also a kind of water poisonous ginseng, which is generally called mad grass, cow poisonous grass or beaver poisonous grass."
"Moreover, the whole plants of these two plants are toxic, and the younger plants may be more toxic than the mature plants."
"If a person has poisoning symptoms, they will appear within 20 to 60 minutes, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mydriasis, foaming, weak pulse, dyspnea, muscle weakness, spasms and convulsions, and Li Yumei obviously has these special diagnoses."
"That's right." listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Gao Chuanfeng echoed, "and in this case, muscle paralysis often occurs and artificial respiration must be carried out, so the victims often suffocate due to respiratory failure."
"But after poisoning, it will take a long time to die, so there will be a gap in the middle."
"Yes." after hearing Gao Chuanfeng's supplement, Gu Chen suddenly brightened his eyes and turned to face everyone: "I know the murderer has been staying near Li Yumei's house, because if it is calculated according to the time when Li Yumei died of poisoning."
"Even if she is poisoned, she can't die in a short time. It takes 20 to 60 minutes for poisoning symptoms alone."
"Li Dong left at 7:10 p.m. and didn't get home until about 10 p.m. for nearly three hours, Li Yumei was unattended."
After a pause, Gu Chen tried to adjust his thinking and continued to add: "if the toxic attack takes 20 to 60 minutes, he will not die immediately after poisoning. At least it will take a few hours."
"If these conditions are met, the killer must give poison ginseng to Li Yumei after 7:10 p.m., that is, within a short time after Li Dong left Li Yumei's house, so that Li Yumei could be poisoned and die before Li Dong went home."
"Eh?" after Gu Chen said this, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized it and quickly added:
"Younger martial brother Gu, if you don't remind me, I forgot. Li Dong said he found Li Yumei dead after he went home, and then dialed our phone number."
"And our autopsy also found that the time of death was really around Li Dong's home."
"This shows that as soon as Li Donggang came home, Li Yumei also just died of poisoning. There won't be a long difference between before and after."
"According to the poisoning process and time you just mentioned, the killer must have finished poisoning in a very short time after 7:10 p.m., so the killer was likely to hide near the corridor and wait for Li Dong to leave."
The voice fell and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knows very well that Lu Weiwei is right.
The murderer is so cunning that he can calculate Li Dong's departure.
Gu Chen also had a headache. In order to complete the task assigned by the behind the scenes manipulator, this guy even threw his aunt aside.
Originally, Gu Chen also had hope for Li Dong that he could get some clues from his Aunt Li Yumei.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
But it's hard for ordinary people to get poison ginseng. Maybe there will be some in the drugstore. Gu Chen can only start here first.
After returning, mobilize people, go to a drugstore to investigate, try to find the whereabouts of poison ginseng.
Seeing that officer Wang saw the autopsy report almost, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Huang Zunlong.
Before long, the phone was connected. When he learned that the two women Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli had been taken back to the police station, Gu Chen hung up the phone and resolutely reminded him, "the two women have been taken back to the police station. We have to go there now."
"OK." officer Wang nodded and directly motioned the people to follow Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also exchanged a few words with Gao Chuanfeng, then hurriedly left the testing room and drove straight to Furong Branch.
15:00 in the morning.
When Gu Chen hurried to interrogation room 1, Zhuang Ting, a tall and thin woman, had stayed there.
And her companion Xu Xiaoli is also next door.
Gu Chen had to interrogate them separately, so he asked yuan Shasha to adjust the camera and sat there directly: "Zhuang Ting, we meet again."
"Yes, we met at Li Yumei's house. I opened the door for you at that time, but..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhuang Ting wondered, "it's just this big night. What do you want to do when you bring me here?"
"Li Yumei is dead," said Lu Weiwei.
"What... What? Li Yumei is dead?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was obviously startled.
Suddenly with surprised eyes, he seemed to be completely unable to believe it. He asked weakly, "when did it happen?"
"It's around 10 o'clock tonight," Gu Chen said.
"Is it death? No, we were fine when we left. How could we suddenly..."
Zhuang Ting didn't seem to understand, but she thought it was Li Yumei's nephew Li Dong who took her away. Zhuang Ting suddenly brightened her eyes and hurriedly said, "I know. It must not be death, right? Is it Li Dong?"
"It's Li Dong's police," officer Wang reminded.
Zhuang Ting was stunned and said, "he called the police? But we've always been fine taking care of Li Yumei. Why did he die as soon as he took care of others? This... What's going on? What did he do to his aunt?"
"Be quiet."
Seeing that Zhuang Ting began to get excited, Gu Chen also reminded him.
But Zhuang Ting kept asking Gu Chen, "officer Gu, what the hell is going on? How does Li Dong take care of people? You have to give an explanation?"
"We have a detailed record of what he said." Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and stared at Zhuang ting in front of him. He also continued to ask her:
"But there's another thing I don't know very well. You're not Li Yumei's niece, are you?"
"Ah?"
When Gu Chen suddenly reveals her identity, Zhuang Ting is stunned subconsciously.
But Gu Chen continued to ask, "not only are you not Li Yumei's niece, nor is Xu Xiaoli, including the people who stay at Li Yumei's house. None of them is Li Yumei's relative, am I right?"
It seemed that the police had the specific information of everyone, and Zhuang Ting was stunned and unimaginable.
After all, it is difficult for the police to investigate the details of so many people if they do not use big data for investigation.
But in such a short period of time, the identity of everyone was revealed. Obviously, the police are very efficient in investigating cases.
This made Zhuang Ting, who always regarded herself as Li Yumei's niece, feel at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that Zhuang Ting was mute at the moment, Lu Weiwei knocked on the table and reminded, "what's the matter with you? Isn't it?"
"Yes... Yes." Zhuang Ting was ashamed and could only lower her head silently.
Lu Weiwei shook her head and asked her curiously, "you said you were not related to Li Yumei. Why should you take care of Li Yumei? So many people came all at once?"
Zhuang Ting bowed her head and said nothing.
Lu Weiwei added: "and we also found out that you people have criminal records, and most of you have been in prison, including Zhuang ting."
"But what does that mean?" Zhuang Ting listened to Lu Weiwei's words and bowed her head.
Lu Weiwei was indifferent and said, "yes, it doesn't mean anything. When one or two people with criminal records get together, I won't say anything and there is no discrimination in this regard."
"But suddenly more than a dozen people with criminal convictions gathered at Li Yumei's house, and these people were not Li Yumei's relatives, but regarded themselves as Li Yumei's' relatives and friends'."
"And you and Xu Xiaoli still live in Li Yumei's house and take care of Li Yumei day and night. What do you mean?"
The voice fell and the scene was silent.
Zhuang Ting seems to have been asked into the depths of her soul.
At this moment, the police seem to know the details of themselves and their companions well.
Generally, few people outside know about having a criminal record, including the important tasks gathered in Li Yumei's family. Everyone has a criminal record, and no one knows about it.
But now the police dig out these things without reservation.
On the one hand, Zhuang Ting was very angry and felt discriminated against.
But on the other hand, Zhuang Ting was also very timid. The police investigated everyone's situation clearly in a very short time.
This is also a side reaction. These policemen are not easy to mess with.
"What else do you have to say?" seeing Zhuang Ting still standing there, Gu Chen also reminded.
Zhuang Ting sighed and said helplessly:
"You may not believe it. Xu Xiaoli and I have been working together before. We also do business with Li Yumei's unit. Li Yumei even took a stake in our business."
"I know this." Gu Chen has already understood it and reminded him, "you say the point."
"Good." hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhuang Ting was also surprised.
I didn't expect the police to know all this.
But think of Li Dong. Zhuang Ting was relieved again. It must have been explained by Li Dong.
Thinking that Gu Chen should listen to the key points, Zhuang Ting had to tell the truth: "we have a partnership with Li Yumei, so the relationship is naturally very good. Logically, Li Yumei is hospitalized after surgery, which doesn't matter to us."
"But one day, we suddenly received a white card, this white card..."
"What are you talking about?"
Before Zhuang Ting finished speaking, Lu Weiwei was stunned and said, "you said you received a white card? Is there a white card with a task on it?"
"You... How do you know?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was stunned. She felt like a ghost. It seemed that she didn't even have the last bit of privacy.
Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her, and Gu Chen directly explained: "you don't have to be surprised, because Li Dong has received similar white cards before, so your card is also a task, right?"
"Yes." facing Gu Chen's question, Zhuang Ting is completely flustered now.
But it was also found that Li Dong was also the one who accepted the game task, which made Zhuang Ting difficult to accept and even had lingering palpitations.
"You go on." Gu Chen recorded these and continued to ask questions.
Zhuang Ting nodded silently, stunned and said, "Xu Xiaoli and I felt very strange at that time, because before that, we were often entangled by some trouble."
"Sometimes, when I wake up, there is a dead cat hanging on the handle at the door."
"Sometimes when walking on the road, the vase will suddenly fall from the sky and fall next to you. There are all kinds of strange things. After all, the tire is flat. After inspection, it is found that someone has punctured the tire."
With a deep breath, Zhuang Ting covered her face with both hands, trying to calm her mood. Then she said, "I don't know what's the matter? Is it a prank after sleeping?"
"But until one day, a mysterious white card was clamped on my window. At first, I thought it was an ordinary small advertising card."
"But when I walked in and looked, I found that the card was polished, but there was a task prompt on the back, saying that I was asked to go to the vegetable farm to take care of an old man's business, spend 100 yuan, buy her vegetables, and return the money to me. When it was ready, it was hidden inside the vehicle tire."
Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other in surprise.
Because this is almost as like as two peas in Li Dong's experience, even the trouble that Zhuang Ting encountered.
But when Zhuang Ting was ready to continue to explain, Lu Weiwei took the first step: "and the second task is to let you go to the outside of a shopping mall to take care of an old man's barbecue stand business?"
"Then I gave you 90 yuan to take care of the barbecue stand business for three consecutive days, and you can only spend 30 yuan each time, right?"
Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhuang Ting was numb.
Lu Weiwei seems to have magical eyes. She can even know what she is doing.
This completely overturned Zhuang Ting's previous cognition.
"You..."
Zhuang Ting can't sit still.
Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly comforted her and said, "you don't have to feel strange. How do we know? Because Li Dong has encountered the same difficulties as you."
"It can be said that the first two tasks, the behind the scenes manipulator, almost arranged the same tasks as Li Dong, but what is the third task? Taking care of Li Yumei?"
Gu Chen guessed at random.
At this time, Zhuang Ting was already trembling with fear and felt that she was a transparent person.
But Gu Chen asked, and he couldn't help saying it. He could only nod and respond: "you're right. The third card task is to take care of Li Yumei."
"I didn't agree at first. I felt that the first two tasks were barely acceptable. I thought someone was playing a prank."
"But when we didn't help take care of Li Yumei at the agreed time, I opened the door one day and found a bag of bloody animal viscera hanging on the door handle of my house."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Ting directly covered her mouth and had some symptoms of vomiting.
It seems that Zhuang Ting has some nausea when she thinks of these bloody animal viscera.
"The same as like as two peas." Lu Weiwei looked terrified and looked at Gu Chen. "Even the threat means the same. Is this behind the scenes manipulator able to eat the mind of a man?"
"Did Li Dong also receive animal viscera?" Zhuang Ting said with her stomach covered.
Gu Chen sighed as like as two peas, nodding his head in silence. "Yes, it is exactly the same as yours."
"Well, this man is really cruel." Zhuang Ting patted her chest and tried to adjust her breathing. Then she said, "after receiving that bag of bloody animal viscera, I can't stand it. I feel that the man will kill me at any time."
"Moreover, I don't know who that person is? Why do you torture me like this? I can't help it. I can only obey orders and start living in Li Yumei's house with Xu Xiaoli to take care of Li Yumei's daily life."
Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen suddenly sat up straight and looked like a torch. He also asked her solemnly: "tell me the truth, has Li Yumei recovered well after she was discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes." Zhuang Ting nodded.
"Is it your 'masterpiece' for Li Yumei to become what she is today?" Gu Chen asked again.
But this time, Zhuang Ting hesitated.
But Gu Chen also clearly saw the answer from Zhuang Ting's Micro expression.
Zhuang Ting nodded reluctantly after repeatedly hesitating for a few seconds.
"Sure enough, you did it?" when Lu Weiwei saw Zhuang Ting admit it voluntarily, she didn't have a good way:
"So Li Yumei's body is getting worse and worse day by day. She is still like this. All this is thanks to you?"
"We don't want to, but we are afraid of the mysterious man." Zhuang Ting explained with tears and grievances:
"Since taking care of Li Yumei, we often receive white cards and even some drugs, including... Including..."
Halfway through, Zhuang Ting suddenly couldn't go on.
Officer Wang was a little impatient and had no good way: "what does it include? Can you speak completely?"
Zhuang Ting lowered her head and was ashamed. She took the initiative to explain: "including the drugs that officer Gu said in the room that day that may lead to Li Yumei's physical condition, you're right, almost right."
"So that day, Xu Xiaoli panicked. She felt that you were a little powerful and knew some medical skills, so she pretended to be calm and asked you for advice about Li Yumei's physical condition with an open mind, in order to dispel your doubts about us."
"So you gave Li Yumei medicine?" Gu Chen frowned and asked.
Zhuang Ting nodded silently: "in recent months, she has been doing what the mysterious man asked. I don't know why the man tortured Li Yumei?"
"I'm so scared, Xu Xiaoli is also scared, but those drugs often appear in front of us on the day when Li Yumei finishes taking them. I feel that the person has already calculated the dosage and is always ready to deliver them to us."
With a faint sigh, Zhuang Ting also covered her cheek and didn't have a good airway: "so, in this way, we took Li Yumei medicine to make Li Yumei's body worse day by day, which directly led to subsequent stroke, paraplegia and aphasia."
"Seeing that Li Yumei has become a puppet and can't take care of herself at all, we feel guilty, but suddenly one day, many vehicles stopped downstairs, that is, the group of people you saw in Li Yumei's living room also knocked at the door."
"What are they doing here?" Gu Chen put these on record and asked Zhuang ting.
Zhuang Ting was listless and said, "they also received the card prompt and came to gather. They said they wanted to find the hospital to settle accounts and stand out for Li Yumei."
"And everyone exchanged with each other to know that everyone was the same. At that moment, we were all confused."
"Is there such a thing?" listening to Zhuang Ting's account, Yuan Shasha make complaints about it.
"Together with all of you, are you willing to be the puppet of this behind the scenes manipulator? What's the matter with you?"
"I don't know what's going on?" Zhuang Ting cried. She was also depressed. She also cried on the interrogation chair:
"Everyone is threatened. Some even don't know what we have encountered. There are also broken fingers by animals and all kinds of dissected animal corpses. Anyway, everyone is scared and feels that the other party is a pervert."
"But under the threat of each other and the treasure of their own lives, everyone gradually gathered together to complete the operator's game and accept this wonderful task in order to protect their lives."
"What does he really want to do?" Gu Chen frowned, feeling a little incredible.
Do these people really accept the task because they are afraid of death?
At first Gu Chen didn't believe it, but later he gradually found that Li Dong would rather complete the task by himself than call the police.
The mysterious behind the scenes manipulators have tortured the psychology of these people to a great extent.
But if you are honest, why should you be afraid of these?
But think again, these people have criminal records. Maybe this is their weakness?
But if so, what's the matter with Li Dong? Did Li Dong have a criminal record before?
Gu Chen feels that after returning, he still needs to make another investigation on Li Dong.
During the subsequent trial of Zhuang Ting, Gu Chen learned that the original medical trouble was all directed by the behind the scenes manipulator.
In fact, we do not know what the purpose of this is? But I took part in it twice.
Gu Chen especially doesn't understand that the murderer can easily kill Li Yumei, but why should he let these people take all the trouble?
Is there another secret?
At least Gu Chen is not clear at present.
But when Gu Chen thinks according to his own way of thinking, he comes to the conclusion that the manipulator may take these people as his own chess pieces and command him to do anything at will.
And Li Yumei, simply let her take medicine, tortured Li Yumei not like an adult, perhaps the biggest idea of the behind the scenes manipulator?
After all, among these people, Li Yumei is the worst one. Maybe she has some roots with the behind the scenes manipulators?
After the interrogation, Gu Chen's team asked Xu Xiaoli in interrogation room 2 next door.
The results obtained are basically the same as those explained by Zhuang ting. All the explanations are very consistent.
This makes Gu Chen feel that things seem to become more and more strange.
……
……
The next morning, when the sun just rose, Gu Chen began to take everyone busy.
When the trial ended last night, it was already 2 a.m.
Everyone went to work at 7 a.m. and slept for more than 4 hours except washing their faces, brushing their teeth and eating.
He Junchao is the worst among the people, and the panda eye is also the most serious.
Gu Chen will trouble he Junchao when he comes, which makes him miserable.
And last night, the shadow Gu Chen tracked disappeared, which requires he Junchao to give full play to his ability to find out who the mysterious man is.
But the old community is not monitored, which makes he Junchao a headache.
At first, Gu Chen suspected that the shadow was the doctor Lao Cao. After all, the time to see Lao Cao was just right. It was just when the shadow disappeared.
Moreover, Lao Cao's forehead still had beads of sweat, obviously after strenuous exercise.
And that night, Lu Weiwei and I chased the shadow, which was exciting enough. If ordinary people were chased like this, their heads would sweat, and they would be panting.
In addition, Li Yumei died of poisoning caused by taking poisonous ginseng, and her health deteriorated due to the drugs she had taken before.
Obviously, these all need some medical knowledge, and Lao Cao happens to be a senior doctor, which meets these conditions very much.
However, Gu Chen resolutely gave up his doubts about Lao Cao after he Junchao's investigation.
Because there is no monitoring in the alley, but there is at the gate of the fitness club.
Gu Chen calculated the time through the monitoring at the door of the Sanda fitness club. Lao Cao really came out of the fitness club at the right time and then went to the alley.
At this time, Gu Chen saw the dark shadow in the crowd.
Unless Lao Cao has separation skills, he will never appear at the scene of the crime for onlookers, and he is absolutely not clear about what happened at the scene, nor can he calculate the arrival time of the police.
Everything seems to rule out Lao Cao's suspicion, which can only be explained by coincidence.
Put aside these scattered, Gu Chen consulted everyone's information again, hoping to find some clues from these people.
After all, all these guys with criminal records received white cards.
Gu Chen believes that the murderer will never be chosen randomly, otherwise these people will not all have criminal records.
But when you think about it, there may be some connections among these people.
With this in mind, Gu Chen began to nail all the personal information files of these people on the whiteboard with colored magnet, and began to carry out the same analysis of everyone's situation.
After a round of quick reading, Gu Chen found the first similarity, that is, these people are all not local people in Jiangnan City.
Most of them come from Haidong City, some from Jiangbei, some from southwest, and some from neighboring counties and cities.
But if these people come from all over the world, how did the killer get them together?
According to this idea, Gu Chen conducted the second round of screening, but suddenly found that the last person who came to Jiangnan City was half a year ago.
Others, though not in the south of the Yangtze River, registered residence in Jiangnan City for a long time.
During this period, everyone worked in Jiangnan City, which made Gu Chen very curious.
So the third round of investigation continued.
This time, Gu Chen was more careful than ever, and began to find the so-called common ground in the way of time axis from the first time these people were imprisoned.
After careful investigation, Gu Chen has been sketching on the draft paper for a while, but suddenly found that most people had the experience of staying in Haidong city in May 15 years ago.
Gu Chen seems to have found something and quickly begins to summarize the timeline of the remaining personnel.
Because of the similarities found among these people, Gu Chen did not go to see other information, and directly investigated other personnel in May 15 years ago.
Although this time record does not appear in the information records of some people, six or seven of the more than a dozen people have experienced staying in Haidong city at the same time.
This made Gu Chen suddenly feel that perhaps these people had been in Haidong city for some time in May 15 years ago.
Because these people are either habitual thieves or habitual robbers, they gather in Haidong city. Gu Chen feels that things are not simple.
So he came back to his desk with the draft of investigation and began to use the computer to search for the news and information of Haidong city in May 15 years ago.
Gu Chen used the most stupid method to directly search for relevant entries in Haidong city from May 1 to May 31 15 years ago.
Soon, a fire news came into sight, and Gu Chen even read it:
"In May 21st, a residential fire broke out in East High Town, Haidong City, killing two people. After the investigation, it was found that the deceased was a pair of mother and son......"
Gu Chen continued to read other information, and the news introduction was basically similar, but no matter how Gu Chen looked up, the cause of the fire was only explained as improper use of fire, which was a relatively general investigation.
Throughout may, it seems that only this news makes Gu Chen feel a little confused, but not sure.
"Younger martial brother Gu, what are you thinking?" seeing Gu Chen fiddling in front of the whiteboard for a long time and making various inquiries on the computer, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen curiously and felt that Gu Chen should have found out the problem.
Gu Chen didn't hide and tuck in. He directly told Lu Weiwei, "I found a problem. Although these people come from all over the world, it's strange that they all went to Haidong city in May 15 years ago."
"Have you all been to Haidong city?" Lu Weiwei heard it, immediately came to the spirit, quickly reminded Gu Chen and said: "so, these people gathered on a large scale 15 years ago?"
"Yes," Gu Chen nodded and continued, "and I checked the news in Haidong city in May 15 years ago. It seems that there is no other news except a strange fire."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again, "so I want to go to Haidong city to see if I can find some useful clues."

two in one chapterThe mysterious shadow suddenly disappeared, which confused Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.Especially in the old community of black paint and black, this makes their pursuit ability impossible.Outside the intersection is a back street alley. Even though it is nearly 11 p.m., people still come and go, because there are many old shops in the back street alley, and many nearby residents will choose to play cards here for recreation.Therefore, at the door of each store, some local residents will gather more or less.Gu Chen walked to the door of the community and suddenly saw a familiar figure coming towards his end.Gu Chen squinted and found that it was Lao Cao, the doctor who was injured that day, so he stopped him in front of him and called him: "doctor Cao.""Hmm?" Lao Cao didn't seem to notice Gu Chen. He was surprised by the sudden greeting.The soles of the feet seemed to be greased and almost slipped."Officer Gu?" after a moment of reaction, the doctor Lao Cao finally recognized Gu Chen, and then saw Lu Weiwei next to Gu Chen. He also said with a strange look: "Why are you here?""We...""Let's do something here." before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen immediately interrupted.Judging from the current situation, Gu Chen is not ready to tell him the news of Li Yumei's death.Lao Cao also nodded silently, smiled and replied, "you're still working in this big night. You're a policeman. You're really like our doctors. You're all cattle and horses. It's hard.""Ha ha, I'm flattered." Gu Chen tried to calm down, so he quickly asked him, "by the way, why are you here?""Why am I here? That's a good question." hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Cao directly sold the pass and pointed to his cheek:"Didn't someone beat me into a pig's head last time? Lao Zhou said I lacked exercise and didn't even have the most basic defense ability.""Also, Tucao said, if he's like him, practice a little free boxing skills, and estimate that people can't make complaints about it, and urge me to lose weight, so... So I will come here to fight a body training base on the basis of the introduction of Lao Zhou."Is there a Sanda training hall nearby?" Lu Weiwei was curious.Lao Cao turned directly and pointed to a position in the rear and said, "go straight to the end here. There is a Sanda training hall at the intersection. The venue is quite large, so I signed up here and prepared to exercise."After twisting his arm, Lao Cao said with a smile: "it's just the end of training. The whole body suddenly stretches out and is very comfortable. I just don't know if my body will have backache when I get up tomorrow?""After all, I haven't participated in sports for a long time. If I suddenly increase the amount of exercise, my body may not be able to adapt.""So all the sweat on your forehead is from Sanda training hall?" Gu Chen looked at Lao Cao and asked him curiously.Lao Cao nodded and echoed: "yes, after all, I came here late tonight. It happened that the Sanda training hall closed late today. I spent all my money, so I practiced in the training hall for a while."While explaining to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei look wrong.And suddenly appeared at the intersection of this community. Lao Cao immediately had some doubts and asked, "what are you two doing here?""Don't talk about this first." Gu Chen didn't want Lao Cao to know about Li Yumei, so he had to change the topic and said, "did you see a man running over there mysteriously?""Run over mysteriously?" old Cao smelled the speech, turned his head and looked at the curved Lane behind him. He also looked puzzled and said, "I came over there and didn't see anything.""OK." knowing that there was nothing to ask from Lao Cao, Gu Chen changed his mind: "how are you going to go home? I remember your home should be far from here, so you're going to walk back?""It's quite far." Lao Cao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a light smile, "this is not the first day here today, so he's not very familiar with the road here.""In particular, there are many old communities here. I feel dizzy at all kinds of turnouts. I don't know whether this lane can pass. After all, it's very narrow, so I park my car at the intersection over there, and then walk over. Now I'm ready to walk back, and then drive home.""OK." Gu Chen kept these in mind, nodded silently, gave up a body position and said, "then go slowly.""You should also pay attention to rest early. It's not good to stay up late to work." Lao Cao smiled perfunctorily, then carried his back with both hands and continued to walk to the end of the alley.Seeing that Lao Cao's figure gradually disappeared, Lu Weiwei approached Gu Chen and reminded him, "do you think that dark figure could be Lao Cao?""Not sure." Gu Chen shook his head.Lu Weiwei added, "I think it's a coincidence that he came here, and it's necessary to sweat when he came from the other side of the alley? Doesn't he wipe his sweat after exercise? I suspect he was chased by us, and then pretended to turn back and deliberately meet us.""It's possible." Gu Chen sighed and could only take this as a possible option.But the shadow did suddenly disappear on this road, and the mysterious shadow, isn't it Lao Cao? Gu Chen has no evidence now.The key is that the lights of the whole alley are extremely dim, which brings trouble to Gu Chen's investigation.Looking down at the time, Gu Chen reminded, "it's getting late. Let's go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau to see Li Yumei's autopsy, and then go back to Furong Branch to see if Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli have been brought here."Gu Chen is now in a dilemma.You know, Li Yumei was poisoned suddenly, and Li Dong was lured away by the card task. It can be seen that the murderer came for Li Yumei, and even the poison has been prepared.It seems that everything is being manipulated by the man behind the scenes.Gu Chen can't care too much now. He knows that it's hard to find the shadow in the big night.It takes time here as scheduled. It's better to go and have a look at Li Yumei's autopsy.11:40 p.m.In the test room of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, maple takakawa is making the final matching and verification of Li Yumei's vomit and toxins in her body.Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha sat quietly aside.Running back and forth makes everyone physically and mentally tired.Fortunately, we just need to sit here and wait quietly for the results.After the test, a forensic assistant checked and drew on the form, and then took it to Feng Gaochuan.Gao Chuanfeng also made the final confirmation in front of the instrument. Then he completed the autopsy report form, turned to Gu Chen and said:"Gu Chen, the test results come out.""What's the situation?" Gu Chen quickly looked up and asked him."It's poisonous ginseng," said maple takakawa."Poison ginseng?" hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen immediately stood up and said, "you mean, the poison Li Yumei took is poison ginseng?""That's right." takakawa Feng picked up the test report on the table, stood up directly, walked to Gu Chen, then stuffed the report into Gu Chen and said:"After our detection of Li Yumei's vomit and substances in her body, we found that both vomit and substances in her body contain toxic ginseng.""What on earth is this thing? Is it so toxic? Just because it carries the word 'poison'?" Lu Weiwei doesn't know much, but she knows it's toxic just by listening to the name.Gu Chen breathed deeply into his airway: "poison ginseng, also known as celery leaf hook kiss, is a plant of the genus poison ginseng in the class dicotyledons, Umbelliferae and Umbelliferae.""Moreover, the whole grass is poisonous, and the fruit, especially the seed, is the most poisonous."Looking at the report in hand, Gu Chen also continued to explain: "however, this kind of thing is generally distributed in Europe, North Africa, North America, Asia and Northwest China.""And it usually grows in areas with an altitude of 600 to 1700 meters. It often grows on the edge of forests or farmland. There is no such plant in our South.""Then how did you come here?" officer Wang came over and gathered around Gu Chen to read the report.Gu Chen directly handed the report to officer Wang, but he couldn't help saying, "speaking of poisonous ginseng, there are many scientific names, such as deadly poisonous ginseng, poisonous celery and snake grass.""There is also a kind of water poisonous ginseng, which is generally called mad grass, cow poisonous grass or beaver poisonous grass.""Moreover, the whole plants of these two plants are toxic, and the younger plants may be more toxic than the mature plants.""If a person has poisoning symptoms, they will appear within 20 to 60 minutes, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mydriasis, foaming, weak pulse, dyspnea, muscle weakness, spasms and convulsions, and Li Yumei obviously has these special diagnoses.""That's right." listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Gao Chuanfeng echoed, "and in this case, muscle paralysis often occurs and artificial respiration must be carried out, so the victims often suffocate due to respiratory failure.""But after poisoning, it will take a long time to die, so there will be a gap in the middle.""Yes." after hearing Gao Chuanfeng's supplement, Gu Chen suddenly brightened his eyes and turned to face everyone: "I know the murderer has been staying near Li Yumei's house, because if it is calculated according to the time when Li Yumei died of poisoning.""Even if she is poisoned, she can't die in a short time. It takes 20 to 60 minutes for poisoning symptoms alone.""Li Dong left at 7:10 p.m. and didn't get home until about 10 p.m. for nearly three hours, Li Yumei was unattended."After a pause, Gu Chen tried to adjust his thinking and continued to add: "if the toxic attack takes 20 to 60 minutes, he will not die immediately after poisoning. At least it will take a few hours.""If these conditions are met, the killer must give poison ginseng to Li Yumei after 7:10 p.m., that is, within a short time after Li Dong left Li Yumei's house, so that Li Yumei could be poisoned and die before Li Dong went home.""Eh?" after Gu Chen said this, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized it and quickly added:"Younger martial brother Gu, if you don't remind me, I forgot. Li Dong said he found Li Yumei dead after he went home, and then dialed our phone number.""And our autopsy also found that the time of death was really around Li Dong's home.""This shows that as soon as Li Donggang came home, Li Yumei also just died of poisoning. There won't be a long difference between before and after.""According to the poisoning process and time you just mentioned, the killer must have finished poisoning in a very short time after 7:10 p.m., so the killer was likely to hide near the corridor and wait for Li Dong to leave."The voice fell and the scene suddenly became quiet.Everyone knows very well that Lu Weiwei is right.The murderer is so cunning that he can calculate Li Dong's departure.Gu Chen also had a headache. In order to complete the task assigned by the behind the scenes manipulator, this guy even threw his aunt aside.Originally, Gu Chen also had hope for Li Dong that he could get some clues from his Aunt Li Yumei.But now it seems that this is not the case at all.But it's hard for ordinary people to get poison ginseng. Maybe there will be some in the drugstore. Gu Chen can only start here first.After returning, mobilize people, go to a drugstore to investigate, try to find the whereabouts of poison ginseng.Seeing that officer Wang saw the autopsy report almost, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Huang Zunlong.Before long, the phone was connected. When he learned that the two women Zhuang ting and Xu Xiaoli had been taken back to the police station, Gu Chen hung up the phone and resolutely reminded him, "the two women have been taken back to the police station. We have to go there now.""OK." officer Wang nodded and directly motioned the people to follow Gu Chen.Gu Chen also exchanged a few words with Gao Chuanfeng, then hurriedly left the testing room and drove straight to Furong Branch.15:00 in the morning.When Gu Chen hurried to interrogation room 1, Zhuang Ting, a tall and thin woman, had stayed there.And her companion Xu Xiaoli is also next door.Gu Chen had to interrogate them separately, so he asked yuan Shasha to adjust the camera and sat there directly: "Zhuang Ting, we meet again.""Yes, we met at Li Yumei's house. I opened the door for you at that time, but..."After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhuang Ting wondered, "it's just this big night. What do you want to do when you bring me here?""Li Yumei is dead," said Lu Weiwei."What... What? Li Yumei is dead?"Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was obviously startled.Suddenly with surprised eyes, he seemed to be completely unable to believe it. He asked weakly, "when did it happen?""It's around 10 o'clock tonight," Gu Chen said."Is it death? No, we were fine when we left. How could we suddenly..."Zhuang Ting didn't seem to understand, but she thought it was Li Yumei's nephew Li Dong who took her away. Zhuang Ting suddenly brightened her eyes and hurriedly said, "I know. It must not be death, right? Is it Li Dong?""It's Li Dong's police," officer Wang reminded.Zhuang Ting was stunned and said, "he called the police? But we've always been fine taking care of Li Yumei. Why did he die as soon as he took care of others? This... What's going on? What did he do to his aunt?""Be quiet."Seeing that Zhuang Ting began to get excited, Gu Chen also reminded him.But Zhuang Ting kept asking Gu Chen, "officer Gu, what the hell is going on? How does Li Dong take care of people? You have to give an explanation?""We have a detailed record of what he said." Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and stared at Zhuang ting in front of him. He also continued to ask her:"But there's another thing I don't know very well. You're not Li Yumei's niece, are you?""Ah?"When Gu Chen suddenly reveals her identity, Zhuang Ting is stunned subconsciously.But Gu Chen continued to ask, "not only are you not Li Yumei's niece, nor is Xu Xiaoli, including the people who stay at Li Yumei's house. None of them is Li Yumei's relative, am I right?"It seemed that the police had the specific information of everyone, and Zhuang Ting was stunned and unimaginable.After all, it is difficult for the police to investigate the details of so many people if they do not use big data for investigation.But in such a short period of time, the identity of everyone was revealed. Obviously, the police are very efficient in investigating cases.This made Zhuang Ting, who always regarded herself as Li Yumei's niece, feel at a loss for a moment.Seeing that Zhuang Ting was mute at the moment, Lu Weiwei knocked on the table and reminded, "what's the matter with you? Isn't it?""Yes... Yes." Zhuang Ting was ashamed and could only lower her head silently.Lu Weiwei shook her head and asked her curiously, "you said you were not related to Li Yumei. Why should you take care of Li Yumei? So many people came all at once?"Zhuang Ting bowed her head and said nothing.Lu Weiwei added: "and we also found out that you people have criminal records, and most of you have been in prison, including Zhuang ting.""But what does that mean?" Zhuang Ting listened to Lu Weiwei's words and bowed her head.Lu Weiwei was indifferent and said, "yes, it doesn't mean anything. When one or two people with criminal records get together, I won't say anything and there is no discrimination in this regard.""But suddenly more than a dozen people with criminal convictions gathered at Li Yumei's house, and these people were not Li Yumei's relatives, but regarded themselves as Li Yumei's' relatives and friends'.""And you and Xu Xiaoli still live in Li Yumei's house and take care of Li Yumei day and night. What do you mean?"The voice fell and the scene was silent.Zhuang Ting seems to have been asked into the depths of her soul.At this moment, the police seem to know the details of themselves and their companions well.Generally, few people outside know about having a criminal record, including the important tasks gathered in Li Yumei's family. Everyone has a criminal record, and no one knows about it.But now the police dig out these things without reservation.On the one hand, Zhuang Ting was very angry and felt discriminated against.But on the other hand, Zhuang Ting was also very timid. The police investigated everyone's situation clearly in a very short time.This is also a side reaction. These policemen are not easy to mess with."What else do you have to say?" seeing Zhuang Ting still standing there, Gu Chen also reminded.Zhuang Ting sighed and said helplessly:"You may not believe it. Xu Xiaoli and I have been working together before. We also do business with Li Yumei's unit. Li Yumei even took a stake in our business.""I know this." Gu Chen has already understood it and reminded him, "you say the point.""Good." hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhuang Ting was also surprised.I didn't expect the police to know all this.But think of Li Dong. Zhuang Ting was relieved again. It must have been explained by Li Dong.Thinking that Gu Chen should listen to the key points, Zhuang Ting had to tell the truth: "we have a partnership with Li Yumei, so the relationship is naturally very good. Logically, Li Yumei is hospitalized after surgery, which doesn't matter to us.""But one day, we suddenly received a white card, this white card...""What are you talking about?"Before Zhuang Ting finished speaking, Lu Weiwei was stunned and said, "you said you received a white card? Is there a white card with a task on it?""You... How do you know?"Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhuang Ting was stunned. She felt like a ghost. It seemed that she didn't even have the last bit of privacy.Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her, and Gu Chen directly explained: "you don't have to be surprised, because Li Dong has received similar white cards before, so your card is also a task, right?""Yes." facing Gu Chen's question, Zhuang Ting is completely flustered now.But it was also found that Li Dong was also the one who accepted the game task, which made Zhuang Ting difficult to accept and even had lingering palpitations."You go on." Gu Chen recorded these and continued to ask questions.Zhuang Ting nodded silently, stunned and said, "Xu Xiaoli and I felt very strange at that time, because before that, we were often entangled by some trouble.""Sometimes, when I wake up, there is a dead cat hanging on the handle at the door.""Sometimes when walking on the road, the vase will suddenly fall from the sky and fall next to you. There are all kinds of strange things. After all, the tire is flat. After inspection, it is found that someone has punctured the tire."With a deep breath, Zhuang Ting covered her face with both hands, trying to calm her mood. Then she said, "I don't know what's the matter? Is it a prank after sleeping?""But until one day, a mysterious white card was clamped on my window. At first, I thought it was an ordinary small advertising card.""But when I walked in and looked, I found that the card was polished, but there was a task prompt on the back, saying that I was asked to go to the vegetable farm to take care of an old man's business, spend 100 yuan, buy her vegetables, and return the money to me. When it was ready, it was hidden inside the vehicle tire."Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other in surprise.Because this is almost as like as two peas in Li Dong's experience, even the trouble that Zhuang Ting encountered.But when Zhuang Ting was ready to continue to explain, Lu Weiwei took the first step: "and the second task is to let you go to the outside of a shopping mall to take care of an old man's barbecue stand business?""Then I gave you 90 yuan to take care of the barbecue stand business for three consecutive days, and you can only spend 30 yuan each time, right?"Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhuang Ting was numb.Lu Weiwei seems to have magical eyes. She can even know what she is doing.This completely overturned Zhuang Ting's previous cognition."You..."Zhuang Ting can't sit still.Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly comforted her and said, "you don't have to feel strange. How do we know? Because Li Dong has encountered the same difficulties as you.""It can be said that the first two tasks, the behind the scenes manipulator, almost arranged the same tasks as Li Dong, but what is the third task? Taking care of Li Yumei?"Gu Chen guessed at random.At this time, Zhuang Ting was already trembling with fear and felt that she was a transparent person.But Gu Chen asked, and he couldn't help saying it. He could only nod and respond: "you're right. The third card task is to take care of Li Yumei.""I didn't agree at first. I felt that the first two tasks were barely acceptable. I thought someone was playing a prank.""But when we didn't help take care of Li Yumei at the agreed time, I opened the door one day and found a bag of bloody animal viscera hanging on the door handle of my house."Speaking of this, Zhuang Ting directly covered her mouth and had some symptoms of vomiting.It seems that Zhuang Ting has some nausea when she thinks of these bloody animal viscera."The same as like as two peas." Lu Weiwei looked terrified and looked at Gu Chen. "Even the threat means the same. Is this behind the scenes manipulator able to eat the mind of a man?""Did Li Dong also receive animal viscera?" Zhuang Ting said with her stomach covered.Gu Chen sighed as like as two peas, nodding his head in silence. "Yes, it is exactly the same as yours.""Well, this man is really cruel." Zhuang Ting patted her chest and tried to adjust her breathing. Then she said, "after receiving that bag of bloody animal viscera, I can't stand it. I feel that the man will kill me at any time.""Moreover, I don't know who that person is? Why do you torture me like this? I can't help it. I can only obey orders and start living in Li Yumei's house with Xu Xiaoli to take care of Li Yumei's daily life."Hearing Zhuang Ting's words, Gu Chen suddenly sat up straight and looked like a torch. He also asked her solemnly: "tell me the truth, has Li Yumei recovered well after she was discharged from the hospital?""Yes." Zhuang Ting nodded."Is it your 'masterpiece' for Li Yumei to become what she is today?" Gu Chen asked again.But this time, Zhuang Ting hesitated.But Gu Chen also clearly saw the answer from Zhuang Ting's Micro expression.Zhuang Ting nodded reluctantly after repeatedly hesitating for a few seconds."Sure enough, you did it?" when Lu Weiwei saw Zhuang Ting admit it voluntarily, she didn't have a good way:"So Li Yumei's body is getting worse and worse day by day. She is still like this. All this is thanks to you?""We don't want to, but we are afraid of the mysterious man." Zhuang Ting explained with tears and grievances:"Since taking care of Li Yumei, we often receive white cards and even some drugs, including... Including..."Halfway through, Zhuang Ting suddenly couldn't go on.Officer Wang was a little impatient and had no good way: "what does it include? Can you speak completely?"Zhuang Ting lowered her head and was ashamed. She took the initiative to explain: "including the drugs that officer Gu said in the room that day that may lead to Li Yumei's physical condition, you're right, almost right.""So that day, Xu Xiaoli panicked. She felt that you were a little powerful and knew some medical skills, so she pretended to be calm and asked you for advice about Li Yumei's physical condition with an open mind, in order to dispel your doubts about us.""So you gave Li Yumei medicine?" Gu Chen frowned and asked.Zhuang Ting nodded silently: "in recent months, she has been doing what the mysterious man asked. I don't know why the man tortured Li Yumei?""I'm so scared, Xu Xiaoli is also scared, but those drugs often appear in front of us on the day when Li Yumei finishes taking them. I feel that the person has already calculated the dosage and is always ready to deliver them to us."With a faint sigh, Zhuang Ting also covered her cheek and didn't have a good airway: "so, in this way, we took Li Yumei medicine to make Li Yumei's body worse day by day, which directly led to subsequent stroke, paraplegia and aphasia.""Seeing that Li Yumei has become a puppet and can't take care of herself at all, we feel guilty, but suddenly one day, many vehicles stopped downstairs, that is, the group of people you saw in Li Yumei's living room also knocked at the door.""What are they doing here?" Gu Chen put these on record and asked Zhuang ting.Zhuang Ting was listless and said, "they also received the card prompt and came to gather. They said they wanted to find the hospital to settle accounts and stand out for Li Yumei.""And everyone exchanged with each other to know that everyone was the same. At that moment, we were all confused.""Is there such a thing?" listening to Zhuang Ting's account, Yuan Shasha make complaints about it."Together with all of you, are you willing to be the puppet of this behind the scenes manipulator? What's the matter with you?""I don't know what's going on?" Zhuang Ting cried. She was also depressed. She also cried on the interrogation chair:"Everyone is threatened. Some even don't know what we have encountered. There are also broken fingers by animals and all kinds of dissected animal corpses. Anyway, everyone is scared and feels that the other party is a pervert.""But under the threat of each other and the treasure of their own lives, everyone gradually gathered together to complete the operator's game and accept this wonderful task in order to protect their lives.""What does he really want to do?" Gu Chen frowned, feeling a little incredible.Do these people really accept the task because they are afraid of death?At first Gu Chen didn't believe it, but later he gradually found that Li Dong would rather complete the task by himself than call the police.The mysterious behind the scenes manipulators have tortured the psychology of these people to a great extent.But if you are honest, why should you be afraid of these?But think again, these people have criminal records. Maybe this is their weakness?But if so, what's the matter with Li Dong? Did Li Dong have a criminal record before?Gu Chen feels that after returning, he still needs to make another investigation on Li Dong.During the subsequent trial of Zhuang Ting, Gu Chen learned that the original medical trouble was all directed by the behind the scenes manipulator.In fact, we do not know what the purpose of this is? But I took part in it twice.Gu Chen especially doesn't understand that the murderer can easily kill Li Yumei, but why should he let these people take all the trouble?Is there another secret?At least Gu Chen is not clear at present.But when Gu Chen thinks according to his own way of thinking, he comes to the conclusion that the manipulator may take these people as his own chess pieces and command him to do anything at will.And Li Yumei, simply let her take medicine, tortured Li Yumei not like an adult, perhaps the biggest idea of the behind the scenes manipulator?After all, among these people, Li Yumei is the worst one. Maybe she has some roots with the behind the scenes manipulators?After the interrogation, Gu Chen's team asked Xu Xiaoli in interrogation room 2 next door.The results obtained are basically the same as those explained by Zhuang ting. All the explanations are very consistent.This makes Gu Chen feel that things seem to become more and more strange.The next morning, when the sun just rose, Gu Chen began to take everyone busy.When the trial ended last night, it was already 2 a.m.Everyone went to work at 7 a.m. and slept for more than 4 hours except washing their faces, brushing their teeth and eating.He Junchao is the worst among the people, and the panda eye is also the most serious.Gu Chen will trouble he Junchao when he comes, which makes him miserable.And last night, the shadow Gu Chen tracked disappeared, which requires he Junchao to give full play to his ability to find out who the mysterious man is.But the old community is not monitored, which makes he Junchao a headache.At first, Gu Chen suspected that the shadow was the doctor Lao Cao. After all, the time to see Lao Cao was just right. It was just when the shadow disappeared.Moreover, Lao Cao's forehead still had beads of sweat, obviously after strenuous exercise.And that night, Lu Weiwei and I chased the shadow, which was exciting enough. If ordinary people were chased like this, their heads would sweat, and they would be panting.In addition, Li Yumei died of poisoning caused by taking poisonous ginseng, and her health deteriorated due to the drugs she had taken before.Obviously, these all need some medical knowledge, and Lao Cao happens to be a senior doctor, which meets these conditions very much.However, Gu Chen resolutely gave up his doubts about Lao Cao after he Junchao's investigation.Because there is no monitoring in the alley, but there is at the gate of the fitness club.Gu Chen calculated the time through the monitoring at the door of the Sanda fitness club. Lao Cao really came out of the fitness club at the right time and then went to the alley.At this time, Gu Chen saw the dark shadow in the crowd.Unless Lao Cao has separation skills, he will never appear at the scene of the crime for onlookers, and he is absolutely not clear about what happened at the scene, nor can he calculate the arrival time of the police.Everything seems to rule out Lao Cao's suspicion, which can only be explained by coincidence.Put aside these scattered, Gu Chen consulted everyone's information again, hoping to find some clues from these people.After all, all these guys with criminal records received white cards.Gu Chen believes that the murderer will never be chosen randomly, otherwise these people will not all have criminal records.But when you think about it, there may be some connections among these people.With this in mind, Gu Chen began to nail all the personal information files of these people on the whiteboard with colored magnet, and began to carry out the same analysis of everyone's situation.After a round of quick reading, Gu Chen found the first similarity, that is, these people are all not local people in Jiangnan City.Most of them come from Haidong City, some from Jiangbei, some from southwest, and some from neighboring counties and cities.But if these people come from all over the world, how did the killer get them together?According to this idea, Gu Chen conducted the second round of screening, but suddenly found that the last person who came to Jiangnan City was half a year ago.Others, though not in the south of the Yangtze River, registered residence in Jiangnan City for a long time.During this period, everyone worked in Jiangnan City, which made Gu Chen very curious.So the third round of investigation continued.This time, Gu Chen was more careful than ever, and began to find the so-called common ground in the way of time axis from the first time these people were imprisoned.After careful investigation, Gu Chen has been sketching on the draft paper for a while, but suddenly found that most people had the experience of staying in Haidong city in May 15 years ago.Gu Chen seems to have found something and quickly begins to summarize the timeline of the remaining personnel.Because of the similarities found among these people, Gu Chen did not go to see other information, and directly investigated other personnel in May 15 years ago.Although this time record does not appear in the information records of some people, six or seven of the more than a dozen people have experienced staying in Haidong city at the same time.This made Gu Chen suddenly feel that perhaps these people had been in Haidong city for some time in May 15 years ago.Because these people are either habitual thieves or habitual robbers, they gather in Haidong city. Gu Chen feels that things are not simple.So he came back to his desk with the draft of investigation and began to use the computer to search for the news and information of Haidong city in May 15 years ago.Gu Chen used the most stupid method to directly search for relevant entries in Haidong city from May 1 to May 31 15 years ago.Soon, a fire news came into sight, and Gu Chen even read it:"In May 21st, a residential fire broke out in East High Town, Haidong City, killing two people. After the investigation, it was found that the deceased was a pair of mother and son......"Gu Chen continued to read other information, and the news introduction was basically similar, but no matter how Gu Chen looked up, the cause of the fire was only explained as improper use of fire, which was a relatively general investigation.Throughout may, it seems that only this news makes Gu Chen feel a little confused, but not sure."Younger martial brother Gu, what are you thinking?" seeing Gu Chen fiddling in front of the whiteboard for a long time and making various inquiries on the computer, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen curiously and felt that Gu Chen should have found out the problem.Gu Chen didn't hide and tuck in. He directly told Lu Weiwei, "I found a problem. Although these people come from all over the world, it's strange that they all went to Haidong city in May 15 years ago.""Have you all been to Haidong city?" Lu Weiwei heard it, immediately came to the spirit, quickly reminded Gu Chen and said: "so, these people gathered on a large scale 15 years ago?""Yes," Gu Chen nodded and continued, "and I checked the news in Haidong city in May 15 years ago. It seems that there is no other news except a strange fire."After a pause, Gu Chen said again, "so I want to go to Haidong city to see if I can find some useful clues."www.mylovenovel.com, the fastest update of the webnovel!
