Chapter 71 Two Cups
After Zhou Shi analyzed it, Du Yu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xu Yiqing with a strange look.
Xu Yiqing was also thinking at first, but when he came back to his senses and saw Du Yu looking at him, he was stunned.
"What's wrong, you're looking at me like that." He glanced at Zhou Shi inadvertently, then lowered his head slightly and smelled his collar: "Do you smell something?"
After working hard for two days and dissecting two corpses in a row, and almost being locked up in the morgue, although he had washed himself, Zhou Shi was still a little concerned about himself.
"A little bit, the smell of disinfectant... It's not important. What's important is why you?"
"What am I?"
"Since [the cleaner] is targeting Fumei Group and Li Dusheng, which we now assume, what does it have to do with you?"
Du Yu spread his hands and said: "Your salary is not paid by Fumei Group. As for the relationship with Li Dusheng, you only met Li Dusheng because of Li Yueyue's case. In fact, there is no connection at all, and it is impossible to kill you because of Li Dusheng. .”
Xu Yiqing also felt that what he said made sense.
"Hmm... because of that photo?" He wasn't sure: "I was in the photo, although I don't remember taking such a photo."
Du Yu said: "There are many people in that photo. If she killed people according to the list in the photo, she should have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until Li Cheng is about to sell the land to Fumei and He Yunke is transferred back to Jiangcheng from other places. Only then did we start taking action.”
The bureau had previously held a meeting to analyze the time and motive of the [cleaning worker]'s crime.
Everyone agreed that the [Cleaner]'s scope of activity was in Jiangcheng, and the trigger for this series of murders must be related to something that happened in Jiangcheng.
There is a secret brewing in the city, and they want to find out.
Xu Yiqing thought.
He definitely had nothing to do with Li Dusheng. It was just because he was kind to Li Dusheng by redressing his sister's injustice that Li Dusheng respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Could it be Fumei Group?
That group photo may be related to Fumei Group.
At least the people in the photo whose identities are known now, apart from himself and his brother, Li Cheng and He Yunke are all related to this multinational company.
At least now, it is certain that [Cleaner] does not want this capital group that mainly studies medicine to develop in Jiangcheng.
Du Yu clapped his hands: "It's not too late to consider these things after we go back. It's better to have a meeting than to think blindly here alone. Now let's investigate the nightclub scene."
Xu Yiqing nodded. The secret behind the case will be found out sooner or later. The first task now is to find out the cause of death of Song Lang and the principal of No. 4 Middle School and catch the [cleaner].
All this will be revealed by then.
Several people came out of the alley to go back to the nightclub. Du Yu was walking in front and Zhou Shi was behind Xu Yiqing.
She suddenly walked a little faster and moved closer to Xu Yiqing. The moment she passed him by, she tilted her head and sniffed at him with her hands behind her back.
Xu Yiqing hid aside. He had never felt any shame about his profession, but he also knew that in the field of forensic medicine, his body would inevitably be stained with smells that could not be washed away.
Just because he doesn't care about himself doesn't mean he doesn't care about the feelings of others.
Especially Zhou Shi.
"Hmm...it has a faint smell of disinfectant, but other than that it's just shower gel." Zhou Shi was a little curious and smiled: "You know how to take a shower in the forensic department?"
Xu Yiqing didn't hide it: "You can wash if you have water, and no women will come in the men's restroom."
Hearing this, Zhou Shi smiled even more, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Are you afraid of others smelling if you love cleanliness so much?"
She stretched out her hand to straighten Xu Yiqing's collar, patted the folds of his shoulders, and finally looked at her ex-husband, who was considered a talented person, with satisfaction, and clenched her fist with her small hand and lightly hammered his chest.
"Be confident, so what if it tastes bad? What I do to you has always been... not annoying."
She smiled, then walked out of the alley and turned into the door of the nightclub.
Xu Yiqing felt a warmth flow in her heart. Zhou Shi was considerate. If it were any other woman, she might not be able to accept that the man next to her who was sleeping with her had to deal with corpses all day long, and he always smelled of medical disinfectant. .
Because of this, most of the colleagues in the Forensic Medicine Department are single, and there are many who are in their thirties and have not yet been married. Even a young man like Lin Sheng, who has a rich family and is quite upright, is kept at a distance when others hear that he is a forensic doctor. .
Xu Yiqing is lucky to have such a considerate and independent lover as Zhou Shi.
It's a pity that her family is not as enlightened as her.
Li Dusheng sent all the horsemen away, leaving only a few driving confidants waiting outside the door.
He told Du Yu: "Since Xiaolang left with you last night, I have let the store rest. I know Xiaolang well. He built this store by himself. He will miss him when he is not in the store. I was afraid that something would happen and the people down there wouldn’t be able to handle it well, so I simply didn’t let him do it, so that he wouldn’t have to worry.”
After saying that, Li Dusheng sighed and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, "Now that he has passed away, I haven't thought about what to do with this store in the future."
He patted his trouser pocket and was about to look for a lighter. Suddenly he realized that Xu Yiqing didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and his son was there, so he put the cigarette he was holding back into the cigarette case.
Zhou Shi saw all this, and she was good at guessing people's hearts. Naturally, she could see Li Dusheng's respect for Xu Yiqing through these small details.
So she looked at Xu Yiqing with a slight smile and raised her brows.
As expected of the man I like, he has a charming personality.
Xu Yiqing didn't understand Zhou Shi's eyes, and he didn't care about Li Dusheng's details. He was focused on the case now.
"That is to say, after we left last night, the store has not been tidied up until now."
His eyes fell on the round table near the bar in the nightclub hall. On the table were empty wine bottles and glasses, and crumpled tissues.
"Great," Xu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. If the nightclub was open last night, a lot of evidence would have been lost: "Ah Sheng, send all the things on that table for testing...be careful not to touch the skin directly."< br>
"Okay, Brother Xu."
Lin Sheng worked very quickly. He called out to the policemen nearby, gave them medical gloves and masks, and helped them put the evidence into sealed bags.
Xu Yiqing approached the table, lowered his head and smelled the empty wine bottle, and then smelled Song Lang's wine glass.
"It tastes no different from the wine last night. It smells bitter but has a sweet aftertaste."
I don’t know what formula Song Lang used to mix the bitterness of almonds with some sweetness to simulate the mountain air after rain.
I have to admit that Song Lang's bartending is really delicious. Even Xu Yiqing, a non-drinker, thinks it is good. This is a sign of his ability.
He originally thought that if he had the chance, he could buy some wine made by Song Lang himself and store it at home for when he and Zhou Shi would have a date at home.
There is no chance now.
Li Dusheng seemed to have thought of this, and there was a little sadness and melancholy under his calm face.
He's missing a good guy who can be called a friend. Du Yu looked at the entire wall of wine behind the nightclub bar and went over to check them one by one.
"Many of them are unopened." He lowered his head and looked inside the bar as he spoke: "These should be ingredients for bartending... I know this one, Jack Daniel's and Disano Lijiao."
The wine was unsealed, and Du Yu guessed that the wine Song Lang drank last night was probably made from these types of wine... and other dried fruits such as almonds.
Xu Yiqing said: "Everyone that has been opened will be taken away for testing."
Although he didn't think the wine was poisonous... he drank it himself.
Although it is only a small half cup, if there is aconitine in it, the dose is enough to kill hundreds of people!
Xu Yiqing didn't think there was anything special about him other than his dissection skills that could prevent him from dying hundreds of times.
Du Yu looked at Li Dusheng: "Not only are the bottles opened, we want to take away all the wine for investigation."
There were many expensive foreign wines on the wine rack. He couldn't see the value, but Zhou Shi knew one or two of the brands. If we didn't mention the original price but only the selling price, many of them cost several thousand or even tens of thousands per bottle.
The nightclub run by Song Lang is not low-end, and the people who come to play are all the famous second-generation people in Jiangcheng. Most of them are because this is an area under Li Dusheng's jurisdiction, so they don't have to worry about troubles and privacy issues.
So there were still some wines stored by customers on the wine rack, and Du Yu thought he should ask Li Dusheng for his opinion.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Dusheng nodded happily: "Take them all away. As for the guests, I will negotiate."
So the policemen began to move all the potentially poisoned things from the nightclub bar. They were careful in the process. After all, they were doing mental calculations and not being careful. No one knew whether Song Lang was poisoned by drinking alcohol or touching something somewhere.
Xu Yiqing had watched a certain detective anime before. In one episode, the murderer poisoned the nail polish of the deceased. The deceased had a habit of biting his fingers because his lips touched the nail polish and he was poisoned to death.
"Tissues, wine, wine glasses, maybe even tables, sofas..."
Xu Yiqing frowned and looked at the layout of the nightclub. This was Song Lang's shop. He even stayed here when he didn't go home after drinking too much. There were things he touched everywhere.
Do we need to move all the tables and sofas back for testing?
"Old Xu, I think it's almost done." Du Yu patted the dust on his hands and came in from outside the house. He had just emptied the bar with the police: "Look what else was taken away?"
"No need." Xu Yiqing shook her head: "Just bring back the wine and the paper towels Song Lang wiped with. According to [Cleaner]'s habits, she will not get off the sofa in a place with too many uncertainties. Poison must be a place where Song Lang is 100% sure to come into contact with it.”
"Doctor Xu, are you going back?"
"I may contact you later." Xu Yiqing looked at Li Dusheng and decided to tell him after much hesitation: "There is another thing. I hope you will calm down first after hearing this."
Li Dusheng looked serious when he saw this: "Doctor Xu, please tell me."
"Your sister's death may not be as simple as we thought at first... Zhao Xiaomeng did want to kill your sister because she had a grudge against her, but the murderer who actually took action and put an end to our investigation for more than half a year may have something to do with you. ”
After he said this, he saw shock and anger on Li Dusheng's face.
But Li Dusheng's expression obviously didn't change. Human emotions are really magical.
After a long silence, Li Dusheng asked: "Where is the little wolf?"
"Just like your sister, someone wanted to kill him because of personal hatred, but the murderer who actually poisoned him should have come for you."
Li Dusheng asked: "Is it the same person?"
Xu Yiqing said: "If I represent the police, I will say I have no comment. But my personal guess... yes, it is the same person."
Li Dusheng's eyes became fierce.
"I understand, Doctor Xu. I will close this store until you solve the case." He took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yiqing: "This is the key to the store. You can check it at any time if necessary. ”
——
In the Forensic Department office, the people are very nice today.
In addition to Xu Yiqing and Lin Sheng, the two forensic doctors who were supposed to be here, there were also Zhou Shi and Du Yu.
They are all waiting for the test results from the laboratory.
Zhou Shi paced around the room, looking here and there, looking at the place where Xu Yiqing usually lived.
Since being threatened by the [Cleaner], he has spent most of his time in the forensic department.
While Zhou Shi was observing, he was thinking about what he still lacked after living here for a long time.
Well...
Get a microwave. It's not convenient for cooking in the office, but if you have an appliance that can heat things, at least you can have hot meals.
Du Yu sat on the chair without saying a word, trying hard to think about whether there were other times besides 8:40 last night when he might have been poisoned?
Zhou Shi walked around the room and sat down to analyze the case.
"Boss Du, are you sure Song Lang was not poisoned in the police station?"
Du Yu nodded: "Everything he touched in the police station last night has been tested, and there is no poisonous residue. We have also made a record of the cook who came to the cafeteria during the winter solstice last year. Judging from his condition, there should be no problem. Mainly. As evidence, I checked inside and outside the cafeteria several times, and there was no toxin residue... If there was any, I would be on the autopsy table now."
After saying that, he began to worry that from now on, members of the crime team would also have to be careful about poisoning.
There was a knock on the door.
The colleague from the laboratory department in charge of testing opened the door of the office.
He glanced at the people present and was stunned for a moment, thinking why even the captain of the criminal police brigade was here... Could there be another case?
He no longer wants to work overtime.
"Director Xu, the test results are out."
"Just say it."
"Everything we brought you back has been tested. There is nothing wrong with the wine, but toxins were found in the cup."
cup!
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
Did you really get poisoned while drinking?
Du Yu thoughtfully said: "If the cup is poisoned, how can [the cleaner] be sure that Song Lang will definitely use the poisoned cup?"
The laboratory technician was stunned when he heard this and waved his hands repeatedly: "Captain Du, you misunderstood. Toxin was detected in not one cup, but two cups."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned.
