Mystery Tracker 3

"what?"

The old man held up a small mushroom and made a questioning sound from his mouth.Both Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng raised it, while Fan Xuemei asked directly, "What's wrong?"

"This seems to be a crystal ghost umbrella, right?" The old man held up a small mushroom. Seeing Fan Xuemei's confused eyes, the old man broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and then nodded in confirmation: "No Wrong, it’s the crystal grain ghost umbrella.”

"Old Ding, is there something wrong with this mushroom?" Cheng Jinsong asked.

"This mushroom shouldn't be picked!" Cheng Jinsong was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Is this mushroom poisonous?"

"This mushroom, it's fine when it's young and can be eaten; but when it grows up, it will produce toxins, especially when eaten with wine, it is easy to cause poisoning." After the old man finished speaking, he looked carefully at the mushroom in his hand. Mushroom, said to himself, "But I think this size should be fine..."

"In my hometown, this mushroom is called dog pee moss." Fan Xuemei also recognized the mushroom. "Everyone says that this mushroom lowers blood pressure and fights cancer. Some elderly people will find it to eat."

Hearing this, Professor Ding smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's just an academic opinion that mushrooms can fight cancer, and it hasn't been proven yet. But there are many examples that it can easily cause poisoning when paired with wine. Sometimes, everyone just I'm superstitious about the so-called 'folk remedies'. But I don't know that folk remedies may not be able to 'cure', but sometimes they can actually 'kill'..."

"Na Ding, what are the symptoms of this mushroom poisoning?" Jiang Ruiheng asked.

"Most of the toxins of the toxin of the ghost mushroom are glabrasin, and the symptoms are generally dancing, singing, laughing, and some even see hallucinations."

"Will there be diarrhea and liver and kidney damage?" Jiang Ruiheng asked.

"This will not." Professor Ding shook his head with certainty, "This mushroom will not cause gastrointestinal symptoms."

As the old man put down the last small mushroom, all the wild mushrooms in this pack have been identified.No other poisonous mushrooms were found except Coprinus granulosa.Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng thanked Professor Ding and left Professor Ding's house with Fan Xuemei.

"How about it, Comrade Policeman, can this prove that I wasn't the one who killed Lao Fu?"

Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng looked at each other, even though they both understood that the fact that the remaining half of the bag was free of toxins did not mean that what Fu Dingchuan ate was also non-toxic.However, if you say this to Fan Xuemei now, she will definitely think that the police are making unreasonable words or even framing you, so Cheng Jinsong said: "According to the rules, we still have to seize this bag of mushrooms first. In addition, you'd better not leave this city recently. We may still have something to contact you."

Fan Xuemei nodded.

Several people got into the car and went back. Cheng Jinsong focused on driving, and Jiang Ruiheng was also thinking about the case. The car was silent for a while.Fan Xuemei looked at the two of them, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said softly: "Comrade policeman, pay him...did you suffer when you left?"

Hearing this, Cheng and Jiang were startled.Cheng Jinsong looked at Jiang Ruiheng, who looked at Fan Xuemei's gaze, and said honestly: "When we found him, he was already in a coma, and he didn't seem to have regained consciousness after being sent to the hospital. But he had symptoms a few days ago... ..."

"I also talked about him in those two days!" Fan Xuemei said a little excitedly, "I said I would go to the hospital for diarrhea, but he just wouldn't listen! I can't delay work if I say anything! I should have dragged him to the hospital at that time!  … ..."

Seeing Fan Xuemei's regretful and painful appearance, Jiang Ruiheng suddenly remembered how he felt when he heard the doctor's conclusion in the hospital.It seems that this person does have feelings for Dingchuan.

"Fan Xuemei," Cheng Jinsong said, "How long have you known Fu Dingchuan?"

"Actually, not long ago, I met him when he came to work." Fan Xuemei replied.Perhaps recalling the past, Fan Xuemei smiled faintly, "I am a woman who runs a shop, and I can meet all kinds of customers. Two or three months ago, there was a boy who always came to make trouble for me. It is said that if you eat hair, steel balls, etc., then you will not pay. I was met by Lao Fu that time, and he secretly photographed the process of the kid putting things into the noodle bowl, and helped me out. I am very grateful He, just got acquainted with him..."

Recalling the past, Fan Xuemei showed a look of love and sadness coexisting on her face.Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng looked at each other, feeling sorry for those two.

"Since you have a good relationship with Fu Dingchuan, have you ever heard him mention anything suspicious?" Cheng Jinsong continued to ask, "For example, who did he have conflicts with, especially during the period before the 14th?" .”

Fan Xuemei shook her head: "Old Fu never told me. He mostly talked about the old people he took care of, and he even talked to me about his daughter once."

"His daughter?"

"Yes, he said that he divorced his wife, and his daughter left with his mother. He only found out that the girl came to S City last year, so he came here as well..."

"Fu Minzhi is in City S?!" Jiang Ruiheng was very surprised by this news, "Did he say where his daughter lives?"

"Going abroad." Fan Xuemei said, "His girl's partner is engaged in foreign trade. It seems that she has been running on both ends. She took his wife and children out of the country at the beginning of this year. According to Lao Fu, his daughter and son-in-law should live well. Not bad, so he is also relieved."

Jiang Ruiheng nodded, but felt a little worried in his heart - if Fu Minzhi went abroad, it would be even more difficult to contact her.

While speaking, the car had already driven back to the entrance of the noodle shop.Cheng Jinsong once again told Fan Xuemei not to leave the city, and then let her go.

Then the two walked into the nursing home, and Shen Yan was standing in the courtyard. Seeing Cheng and Jiang coming back, Shen Yan walked over and said: "The Food and Drug Administration suspects that the elderly are not poisoned, but infectious viruses. They are going to deal with them now." Disinfect the room where the disease occurred. Think about where else evidence should be preserved in advance. If there is no food and drug administration, the disinfection will begin.”

"Brother Cui, who should collect evidence, they have all thought about it. It's nothing. It's getting late, and the old man has to rest. Let them do it quickly." Cheng Jinsong said.

Shen Yan also nodded in agreement.

The investigation has come to an end for the time being, everyone who should go back to the police station should go back to the police station, and those who should go home should go home.Jiang Ruiheng stood by the side of the road, took off his glasses, and pinched his nose tiredly.

"Where do you live tonight?" Cheng Jinsong came over and asked.

According to the original plan, Jiang Ruiheng should fly back to Beijing with Li Jiayu tonight, so he didn't book a hotel either.Just when Jiang Ruiheng was in a daze, Li Jiayu on the side said, "I've booked a hotel, not far from the city bureau. We'll both stay there tonight, and it's convenient to go to the bureau tomorrow."

Jiang Ruiheng looked at Li Jiayu, who secretly reached out and held his hand.

Li Jiayu booked a five-star hotel. As soon as he entered the room, Li Jiayu rushed into the toilet.Jiang Ruiheng only thought that he was anxious, but he didn't care, he just sat down on the bed.Today is a really long day.After a night of investigating the case, the book signing in the outer city in the morning seemed to be a distant memory.

At this moment, Li Jiayu finally walked out of the bathroom.He handed a set of pajamas to Jiang Ruiheng: "There is a bathtub in the bathroom. I've already filled the water for you. Go take a bath."

Jiang Ruiheng raised his eyes in surprise, and realized belatedly that since Li Jiayu entered the bathroom, the sound of water in the bathroom has never stopped.Speaking of which, Jiang Ruiheng has always been a person who pays great attention to the quality of life.He had installed a bathtub in his house in S city before.After returning to Beijing in the past two years, although he lived with his parents, he helped Li Jiayu choose a very good quality apartment.Jiang Ruiheng's point of view has always been that the money earned is for enjoyment.What's more, I am destined not to have children in this life, so there is no pressure on money, and I can spend money as I need.However, Li Jiayu always felt that he was a bit of a "prodigal".However, this time, Li Jiayu deliberately chose a room with a bathtub, and the intention of it is needless to say.

Jiang Ruiheng smiled gratefully, he gently hugged Li Jiayu, and then walked into the bathroom.Sitting in the bathtub, the water in the originally calm bathtub rippled because of his entry, causing the people in it to have the illusion of being bumped accordingly.Jiang Ruiheng closed his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to return to the bumpy broken police car he rode in when he went to the countryside for an internship——

"Master, are you sure we are taking this national highway?" Jiang Ruiheng raised his head from the plastic bag and asked desperately—he was also a person who drove around with his father since he was a child, and he almost walked all the expressways near Beijing. , I have never seen such a bumpy national road, and I have never vomited like this because of motion sickness.

The master smiled and smoked a cigarette, and while driving the car into the air, he said to him in Mandarin with a strong accent: "Boy, you have little knowledge! Do you think that the roads everywhere are like Beijing city? Here , this national road is easy to walk. After a while, I got off the national road and entered the village. There is no asphalt road, it is all dirt roads! The past two days have been fine, it has not rained, and the road is full of yellow mud. The wheel can sink in if you are not careful."

"Ouch—" Jiang Ruiheng vomited again, and closed his eyes in despair.

Because the whole journey was "educated" by vomiting and vomit, when Jiang Ruiheng followed his master to the destination and saw the corpses that had been corrupted to the point of being giants, Jiang Ruiheng seemed very indifferent on the contrary—excluded professional Not to mention his literacy, in fact, he really couldn't spit out anything.

What they came to investigate was a vicious murder case.The murderer killed a family of four: Ma Huanguo and his wife, who were nearly 20 years old, their 4-year-old daughter Ma Xiaoyu, and their granddaughter Ma Xinyu, who was under [-] years old.Ma Xinyu's father, Ma Xuyang, is the eldest son of the old couple. He and his ex-girlfriend gave birth to Ma Xinyu out of wedlock without obtaining a certificate.But after the child was born, the two broke up due to conflicts. Ma Xuyang went to work in the city, so he left his daughter at his grandparents' house in the countryside.The murderer took advantage of the night to hit everyone with blunt objects such as stones, and then threw all four bodies into the cellar.A few days later, when someone found the entrance of the cellar full of flies and opened the cellar curiously, he was so frightened by the horrible and disgusting scene inside that he peed his pants.

When Jiang Ruiheng and his master saw the corpse, the corpse had already been carried out of the cellar.However, Jiang Ruiheng frowned when he saw the corpse, because a large piece of Ma Xiaoyu's abdomen was broken, and this was definitely not caused by the murderer or natural corruption.

"When they saw the corpse, there was a big lump in the woman's belly. The younger generation who carried the corpse was inexperienced, so it broke it all at once." The criminal police who met with them introduced.

A highly decomposed corpse, because a large amount of gas has accumulated inside it, is easy to burst due to careless handling when moving.Therefore, experienced criminal police or forensic doctors will be very careful when encountering such corpses, and will even extract the evidence before moving the corpse.However, the police in this village obviously have neither such skills nor such awareness.Jiang Ruiheng frowned - the rupture of the abdominal cavity of the corpse will inevitably bring more difficulties to the autopsy.

But over there, the master didn't seem to care.He just asked casually: "Where are you paying the captain?"

"Fu team took people to arrest the suspect."

"You already have suspects?" Jiang Ruiheng was a little surprised.

"It's Ma Xuyang, the boss of his family." The police officer replied, "The kid said he was going out to work, but in fact he did everything from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling outside. Once he ran out of money, he would go home and ask for money. Because of the money, his family Both the old man and his son have beaten him several times. This time his house was ransacked completely, nine times out of ten it was his son who went home to steal money and was discovered by the father, so he killed him in a flash of red eyes."

"If this is the case, then we will save trouble." The master greeted, "Xiao Jiang, if this is the case, let's examine the old man's body first."

"Oh." Jiang Ruiheng replied, but there was a question mark in his heart - when he was in the police academy, his teacher always told them not to have preconceived assumptions when investigating a case, otherwise it would be easy to ignore the details.But looking at the master's actual operation, it seems... that's not the case at all?

However, Jiang Ruiheng did not doubt the professionalism of the master.After all, he also knew that the master he was following now was the leading forensic doctor in several eastern provinces.The entire autopsy took more than seven hours. The two tried their best to extract various substances and tissues from the four highly decomposed corpses, and the next step was to test these substances and tissues to obtain the final conclusion.

However, when Jiang Ruiheng and his master took off their dissecting suits and walked out of the dissecting room, the first news they got was that Captain Fu had already caught the suspect and was recording a statement.

Jiang Ruiheng glanced at the master unexpectedly - some of the conclusions they found in the autopsy just now did not conform to the assumption that "the suspect is the son of the deceased".And this point, these criminal police obviously don't know yet.

Over there, the master also said, "Let's go, let's find you Captain Fu first."

The two followed the policeman to the town police station.As soon as he walked into the interrogation area, he could hear a man yelling: "Is there any law! The police are beating people!"

Jiang Ruiheng was startled when he heard that, at this moment, the policeman pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and saw a policeman inside tightly pinching the neck of the suspect, who was screaming while struggling.Seeing the door of the interrogation room open, the suspect struggled even harder and shouted loudly: "Help! Leader, look! This policeman is beating someone!"

Jiang Ruiheng subconsciously looked at the master, but the latter seemed to turn a blind eye.And the policeman over there also let go of his hand, and warned: "Ma Xuyang, let me tell you again, be honest! Don't think that you can get away with talking nonsense here, even your own parents and daughters. Kill, you are not a fucking person!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruiheng's master finally coughed lightly: "Captain Fu, come out for a while, I have something to tell you."
