As more people heard the noise, I realized that the confinement imposed by the parasite on me was gone.

It's just that the pain in my right eye is worse than before, so when I was pulled out from under the table, my whole body trembled as if I had a cold. So they didn't ask me much for the time being, and just sent someone to take me to the infirmary while trying in vain to resuscitate the dead policeman.

While I was sitting alone in the infirmary after bandaging my wounds, a middle-aged police officer with a stack of Wen Jiàn in his arms walked in, closed the door, and threw Wen Jiàn on the table next to me.

Then glared at me.

After staring at him for more than half a minute, he opened his mouth and said to me coldly: "The police officer Liu who was with you just now, did you say why he came to you?" ”

I shook my head.

"He's going to sue you, and just half an hour ago, your suspicion was almost cleared. ”

“...... Is it the autopsy report?"

He didn't answer.

He continued to glare at me with his stern and sad eyes for a while, and then said dryly, word by word: "But he passed away just now." ”

I didn't know whether to nod or how to respond, so I could only bow my head and be silent.

"He lived for more than 30 years and never had a heart problem, but just now the doctor came to examine him and said that his death was due to a myocardial infarction. ”

“...... Isn't that ......?"

"But myocardial infarction is usually based on some kind of stimulus, but judging from the surveillance footage at the time, from the time he entered the house until he died, he did not have a confrontation with anyone, except for a few words with you hiding under the table. ”

“...... Yes. ”

"So he really died suddenly?"

The question was so, but judging by his tone and expression, it was clearly not the case. So I hung my head, and I didn't say anything.

Then he continued, "Then can you tell me why you are hiding under the table before he comes in?"

This is the question of how I should answer.

Only silence can continue. Seeing this, he frowned and pointed at my gauze-tied finger, "Do you have a history of mental illness?" ”

"Nope. ”

"But from the surveillance footage, you look like a madman. Do you know what you've done?"

I looked at him, but he didn't say anything.

"Talking to myself, in a trance, I once stared at the top of your head as if I had discovered a new world. I said what were you looking at at that time? Did you see a monster? Or a fairy? So you just got under the table and hid?? Look at your hands, if it wasn't for the clear shooting in the video, others would really think that we would lynch you, what are you doing with the floor tiles to self-harm? Hehe, Qiu Beitang, I really don't believe you when you say you're not mentally ill. ”

A series of words, completely disregarding other people's feelings and dignity, were thrown at me coldly, and my face burned for a while when I heard it.

But he couldn't say anything, but he could only endure quietly,

This patience finally softened his eyes and tone a little, and after raising his wrist to look at his watch, he walked up to me, took the stack of texts on the table back in his hand, and then took two deep breaths and looked at me:

"Without further ado, let's talk about the autopsy results of the two deaths on the train. ”

This police officer is the partner who was responsible for the death of Xia Ping and Li Xin with the police officer surnamed Liu.

He was extremely saddened by the sudden death of his good partner, and it was clear from his attitude and words to me that although the surveillance footage was enough to prove that Officer Liu's death had nothing to do with me, he still blamed me for everything, because if it wasn't for the fact that he came to me, Officer Liu would not have died so suddenly and so young, and my expression in the video was so strange.

But even so, out of professional ethics, he restrained his anger with the greatest strength, and then told me in a formulaic calm tone why Officer Liu had come to me at that time.

The reason is that the autopsy report that just came out ruled me out of suspicion.

Xia Ping did die of dehydration and infection caused by the large wound on her mouth.

The infection contained a fungus that was only found in the saliva of rats, thus explaining why her wound looked so like it had been gnawed by some rodent.

But it was still impossible to explain why she was dehydrated on a train with plenty of water, and why she was bitten by rats, after examining the train's most likely place to hide rats, they couldn't find even a grain of rat droppings.

Therefore, it can only be left for a further investigation of the train, and for the body to be sent to a higher level, where a more detailed examination of her dehydration will be carried out to determine whether the dehydration is caused by some unknown drug.

And Li Xin is too surprising.

I thought he died of food poisoning, but I didn't expect him to die of murder, and the person who killed him was none other than his wife Xia Ping.

They found in his stomach the remnants of an industrial chemical.

A small amount of this chemical can be deadly, so it cannot be found on the market, but it can be found in some building materials factories, such as Xia Ping's workplace. They were all tested on the kettle, fruits, and fruit knives that Xia Ping prepared for Li Xin, which shows that in order to achieve the goal of never missing, Xia Ping made enough preparations in advance, whether Li Xin drank water or ate fruits, or cut and ate anything with a fruit knife, he would be poisoned to death.

After listening to the policeman's words, I couldn't help but quietly pinch a cold sweat in my palms, because I remembered that Xia Ping invited me to eat oranges last night, but fortunately I refused, otherwise, although I did not have a few days to live, but I was poisoned in advance so inexplicably, but I was absolutely unwilling.

But it's weird, isn't it?

Since these two people made such a trip in order to repair their relationship, why did Xia Ping murder Li Xin? And she did it in such a way that was so easily found out by the police? I remember very clearly, listening to her talk about her marriage and this trip on the train, although there was a lot of dissatisfaction and helplessness in her tone, she really wanted to live well with Li Xin in the future, and how could she have such a determination to kill someone who would compromise for life?

When I shared this idea with the officer, he glanced at me, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Relationship repair trip? Although Li Xin's family has not yet been contacted, according to Xia Ping, the two escaped to avoid debts. ”

"Debts—the debts of Li Xin's family?" I asked.

"It's not. He glanced at me again and said, "It's a debt that both of us share." Li Xin's original business failed and led him to mortgage the property to repay the debt, but after the situation eased slightly, the industry that he was unwilling to operate for many years disappeared, so Li Xin pestered Xia Ping to sell the newly bought house they bought, and then used the money to invest again, but unfortunately the investment failed again, not only lost the house, but also owed another debt. Because the original investment was in the name of two people, even Xia Ping was implicated in this debt, the debt collector was very tight, and Li Xin couldn't bear that responsibility at all, and always hid behind Xia Ping, Xia Ping was worried that it would affect her parents in the long run, so she persuaded Li Xin to flee from the place where they lived with her and find a remote place to avoid the limelight. Xia Ping's parents said that the last phone call Xia Ping gave them at that time was to tell them. It's just that she didn't expect that she had already moved to kill at that time, maybe she was desperate for life, she felt that the repayment of her debts was far away, and she was also extremely disappointed in Li Xin. ”

"So just kill him?"

"That's basically it. ”

"But...... When I talked to her, I couldn't tell that she had murderous thoughts at all......"

"Of course," I said, he scoffed, "what murderer can make people feel his murderous thoughts before he kills? Just like you, if it weren't for the camera recordings, who would think that you, a seemingly honest and quiet student girl, would do such a strange and ridiculous act when you are alone." ”

When he said this, he looked at me like he was looking at a hopeless psychopath, the one who was sick but didn't know it at all, and always insisted that he was a normal psychopath.

So I know that there is no point in clarifying, and it really can't be clarified, after all, it is an ironclad fact.

"However, did Xia Ping mention to you that Li Xin has a lover?"

I nodded: "I mentioned it, I guess I broke off the relationship later." ”

"Nope. At the scene of his death, we found his phone, where he was texting and chatting with a woman in an ambiguous tone. ”

“...... His life situation is like this, and he still has the heart to continue to maintain a relationship with his lover?"

"That's right. In fact, this person is not very aware of his own living situation, and his expenses are still quite large when the family is in debt. And Xia Ping's family conditions are good, and the salary is quite high, and her card is often maxed out by him, which shows that she has been supporting him in the later period. ”

"Really...... Bad enough man......"

"It's a wonder that this woman can endure him for so long. But once this patience reaches the limit, the seizure will be more terrible than anything else, I guess she originally planned to commit suicide, but as soon as the resentment came out, she felt that she would be willing to take him to die with her no matter what. ”

"But why did she die of dehydr......ation instead?"

"It's not clear. Although the chemical can cause people to have a reaction similar to food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, and leading to dehydration, her dehydration is completely different, almost like exposing people to the desert and drying them alive......" At this point, he seemed to feel that he was talking a little too much, and he stopped.

Then he raised his wrist again and looked at the table, got up and pointed out of the door: "Okay, that's pretty much it, you go to do a psychiatric evaluation first, and then register in front of it to make a backup." After that you're good to go. ”

The sudden freedom made me react a little for a moment: "...... Really?"

"You are no longer a criminal suspect, and there is no need for us to continue to detain you, but in view of your mental condition, we will contact the police station where you live to continue to supervise you for a while, so as not to harm anyone again. ”

The blood on my face gushed up again when I said that.

"And I must also make it clear to you that I think Lao Liu's death is inseparable from you. ”

"By what. I couldn't help but say a tough word.

"With my instinct as a criminal investigator for eight years. ”。
