Shi Hao's phone happened to come in: "Do you especially want to hear my voice now?" Listening to his tone should be good news.

"Just say it." Li Jing urged him, "Have you found Tao Ming's location?" ”

Shi Hao's tone now sounded like he had good news to share with us: "Tao Ming's last phone call showed that his location was no more than 5,000 meters away from you, on the third floor of an old office building. I checked it, and it was registered as a publishing house, but it was acquired by ISCBS a few days ago. Xiaozhi, I remember that it was your original company, and I also found your information, but it seems to be encrypted. I'll help you unlock it when I have time later. ”

"No, I don't." I said weakly on the phone.

"Let's get down to business." Probably afraid that Li Jing would talk about him again, Shi Hao suddenly changed back to the topic, "Although I work in a publishing house, I have no experience in editing, so I only work in the distribution department, and I am only responsible for contacting the printing unit, and I don't seem to have touched the core content of the work, so it looks like a handyman." ”

"How do you know?" I asked Shi Hao over the phone, and as soon as I finished asking, I remembered that if it was acquired by ISCBS, it seemed that many aspects would inherit ISCBS's consistent OA system.

"I checked their OA system, and I can accurately see the division of responsibilities, which is convenient for submitting tasks. So I saw his job and it seemed that he would only be found if it came to contact the printer. So, but after the acquisition, it suddenly ceased publication, but I saw that before receiving the notice of closure, the publishing house also made a new issue of the publication plan for this publication, and it seems that there will be some more shocking news reported in it. But before these news were published, the publishing house was suddenly acquired by ISCBS, and less than a week later, you found a fifth victim. This victim has nothing to do with Liu Mei's affairs, the murderer has no need to kill them at all, and the magical sixth sense tells me that Tao Ming must have been stimulated by the suspension of the publication before he began to carry out the murder plan again, so the reason for his outbreak must be related to the unpublished news. Luckily. I found the answer. Just to explain in advance, I exchanged some innocuous information for Zheng Min's access to the entire media system, and then found out the hidden information. Oh, my God. Li Jing, I'll build yì you now turn on the computer and take a look at what I sent you. ”

Shi Hao didn't tell us what we found, I guess he called us without looking at it, I quickly opened the mailbox and called up the email sent by Shi Hao, the content of the email was the news that the publishing house had not published.

"Driven by profit. Doctor Yang Jun colluded with medical representative Wu Qing to sell hydroxyurea tablets produced by a company for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia that had not been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration, and made huge profits. A reporter secretly infiltrated this pharmaceutical factory and found that the production facilities were extremely simple and the production environment was extremely harsh. Later, when the reporter later tested the pills, he found that the dosage contained in the pills had exceeded the standards set by the state. These drugs will not enter regular hospitals, but due to the lack of firm stance of some doctors, they choose to sell this inferior hydroxyurea tablets to patients privately under the temptation of money. Because of the obvious price advantage, many patients who are not financially well-off choose to buy such drugs from doctors. During the unannounced visit, the reporter found that some patients had adverse reactions after taking this unqualified hydroxyurea tablets. There have even been cases of patients dying after taking this drug. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that the medicine was purchased from a doctor. Many families end up taking the doctor or the hospital to court without evidence. In addition, some family members of patients told the reporter that during the treatment, the doctor repeatedly persuaded them to buy insurance from an insurance company, saying that if the operation is involved in the future, the family can get a large amount of compensation for the patient's surgical treatment costs. However, the reporter learned that although these insurance companies promised such compensation measures for patients when they were purchased, in fact, when they actually applied for claims, the insurance company played a scoundrel, saying that the patient's family was suspected of cheating the insurance before buying the insurance. There was no other way but to find a lawyer to help with the lawsuit. However, it was found that the lawyer had already collected the benefits of the hospital and the insurance company, and did not perform his duties at all in court, and basically lost the case. The pharmaceutical factory was found by the local industry and commerce department two years ago, and the drugs have been seized. However, there are still a large number of drugs that have entered the market before they are seized, and they are still sold privately to patients by some unscrupulous doctors. The owner of the pharmaceutical factory fled abroad with his family and is now wanted by the police network. ”

"Shi Hao, check whether the remaining victims who have no connection with Liu Mei's matter on the surface are connected to this pharmaceutical company. I think it's a lot more complicated than we and Officer Wang speculated. Li Jing said thoughtfully.

"You guessed it." Shi Hao's voice soon came from the earpiece, "The fifth victim used to work for this company, and only after the accident did he transfer to the school to become a teacher. I really don't understand how you can ask such a person to be a teacher. Well, she cleverly hid the experience in her resume. No wonder a university would take her in. The sixth victim, this child is more pitiful, she is the illegitimate daughter of the owner of a pharmaceutical company, but it seems that she has been living on the money given by her father. The last victim was a freelancer and a former medical representative, so I think you know what I mean, right? ”

Li Jing blinked: "By the way, Shi Hao, can you find out how Tao Ming got in touch with these victims?" ”

There was a knocking sound, and then Shi Hao's voice sounded in the earpiece: "For the time being, there is no trace on the Internet, no telephone information, no email information." ”

Li Jing thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Go check the monitoring of all the victims' workplaces." Especially in the monitoring of several victims recently, Tao Ming should have pretended to be a courier to enter the victims' company and personally handed over the bait to these victims. Also, Shi Hao, summed up the contact information of the people in Zhang Yang's law firm, including those who used to work for Tao Ming's deceived insurance company, as well as former employees of pharmaceutical companies and senior employees of ISCBS, and sent them to me, and it is likely that Tao Ming's next target is among these people. The contact information of everyone, regardless of gender, must be fast. ”

"Do my best." Shi Hao hung up the phone after speaking.

"Now it can be explained. Tao Ming is using all the illusions to confuse us into believing that he is a serial killer's perverted behavior, but in fact he is covering up his revenge. The source of his irritation should be the suspension of the publication, the inability to make the truth about his wife's death public, and the paranoia of his thoughts. I want to take revenge on these people myself. Before, it was just because we paid too much attention to the appearance of the victim, or we fell into the mindset of a serial killer, who reinforced the image of the deceased as a long-haired woman, and even cut off the hair of these women and braided them. Let's mistake him for a pervert who kills women, but judging by the latest news, we should be able to find a lot of male victims, but they are not related to this case. I think there must have been men among Tao Ming's victims. ”

As he spoke, the mailbox beep rang. Shi Hao had already sent us most of the information, and Li Jing printed out the information and handed me a part: "Xiaozhi, hurry up and confirm with these people where they are now and whether they are safe." I will let Officer Wang arrange the rest of the list, you and ISCBS are still in love, be sure to confirm that any of them have recently received an unknown courier message. ”

I nodded, turned around and started to make a call, maybe it was too big a mess before, and the ISCBS management didn't seem particularly happy to hear my name, but they still cooperated with me to do a simple investigation, and when I learned that they might get into trouble because of their closure. They don't seem to care very much.

The other group of contacts went fairly smoothly, most of them stayed safely at home, and no one seemed to have a plan to make it to L City alive. Li Jing's brows had been twisted into a deep Sichuan character.

I sighed and dialed the phone number, which I didn't expect to be a turning point in the whole case. The person who answered the phone was a former HR manager at ISCBS who is now the director of operations for one of the project departments. I could hear the obvious impatience in his tone when I heard me say my name, and I gave it a rough run, and judging by the speed with which he replied, I could see that he seemed to be terrified of something.

"Do you know anything?" I asked him on the phone.

"No, I don't know anything. That's all I can offer. "The other party obviously didn't cooperate with me, but the other person was repeating my words. Explain that he lied to me in the next life. I decided to try my luck.

I took a long breath and whispered tentatively, "Director Zhang, I want you to be honest. Is the removal of that issue related to your department's operational plan? Or, to put me mildly, maybe an article might be directly related to your family. Maybe you have a family member who used to work in that pharmaceutical factory, maybe it's still a high-level executive. Or maybe your sister-in-law who works in a hospital has also sold inferior hydroxyurea to patients in private? "I try to keep the sound as steady as possible.

"You don't want to spew blood." The other party yelled at me, not directly denying me, it must have been me who said something.

Seeing that my side seemed to be in trouble, Li Jing walked up to me and asked me what was wrong. I wrote down the current situation on the notepad I had at hand. Li Jing motioned for me to turn the phone on speakerphone.

"I'm not spewing blood, you can search the Internet for the recent serial killer incident in L City, and the victims who died are all related to the report that was suppressed by the company. Let me remind you that the murderer's method of murder is the same as that of the notorious barber Todd and Jack the Ripper. I guess you know how cruel it is, I don't even dare to look at those pictures at night, so I think you need to cooperate with us to protect yourself. Has anyone in your project received a strange courier recently, and has anyone recently taken a long vacation and not returned? ”

The other party didn't speak, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, I confronted Li Jing, and found that his face didn't seem to be very good, so I asked cautiously, "Where are you now?" ”

Suddenly, another voice came from the phone: "He's in L City right now." After speaking, the mobile phone was hung up, and the expressions of the people present changed.

Officer Wang was the first to react, and quickly ordered the people around him: "Quick, quickly check the specific location of the phone just now." The surrounding road was completely cordoned off and police were dispatched to conduct a thorough search. Others continued to call, confirming that the others on the list were not in L City now and were all in safe condition. ”

We had a long call and quickly settled on the location of the Director of Operations, which was on Bar Street as noted in the city of L. When he saw the bar street, Officer Wang was suddenly stunned, and then slapped his thigh and said, "Tao Ming is too cunning." ”

Li Jing and I looked at him suspiciously, and he explained to us: "There were indeed cases of men being killed in bars in the past few years, and we did a separate investigation, and the previous investigation direction has always been to fight to death, so we have never found the murderer, and we have never linked them to the cases of those female victims." ”

Li Jing patted Officer Wang on the shoulder: "If it weren't for the fact that it was traced back to the pharmaceutical factory, I would have always thought that it was just a serial murder of a woman with a specific appearance." The suspect is already avenging his deceased wife regardless of the cost. ”

While we were talking, a police officer came over and whispered a few words to Officer Wang, and Officer Wang's expression became brighter, and he turned his head to us and said, "There is a person from the publishing house who came to us and wanted to talk to us about Tao Ming." ”

When we arrived in the conference room, we saw a thin man sitting there, saw us coming, stood up and greeted us.

"You're here to talk about Tao Ming?" Officer Wang asked straight to the point.

The other party nodded cautiously and said, "Today you came to the publishing house to find our leader, and I heard what you said when I was passing by. What you said is very much in line with Tao Ming. I don't know if you know that we were planning to cover a story about doctors, insurance companies, and lawyers. But then, for some reason, we were acquired by a new company, and our investigation was suddenly stopped. For this report, everyone worked hard for three years to collect all the information, and the manuscript was all blocked overnight. The most excited is Tao Ming, we all know that Tao Ming did the investigation for his sister-in-law, and many times all the unannounced information was taken by Tao Ming. But I really think Tao Ming was sad, and he returned to normal in a few days. We thought he had let go, so we didn't tell her anything about it. But when the police came today and asked our leader if there was a man who was eccentric because of the death of a loved one in the family, although Tao Ming was not eccentric, I still subconsciously thought of Tao Ming. I asked my friends at the newspaper for photos of the deceased that they hadn't released, and they were exactly the same as the people we had investigated, so I hurried here to explain the situation to you. ”

After Officer Wang thanked him, he asked the police officers to escort him to the police station, and also instructed him to inform him as soon as possible if there was any news of Tao Ming. The man nodded in agreement, looking very timid.

The police had also locked down the location of the director, but they were still a step too late, and when they found the director, he had been killed in the toilet of the bar, and the murderer had already left. Officer Wang ordered a complete blockade of the road and searched Tao Ming's figure. To our surprise, however, all the bar staff said they had never seen the man in the photo.

We looked at each other and were able to kill people calmly, indicating that the murderer should be familiar with the environment here, and it would definitely not be the first time to come here. But the manager of the bar and the waiter repeatedly assured that the man had never been seen. Is he here for the first time? Is it because it's convenient to hide your identity after killing people here?

After checking the surveillance footage, I only saw a figure with his head down walking into the bar, then walked inside, said a few words to the director and went to the bathroom together. After that a man left. Because he kept his head down, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Officer Wang pointed to the man on the screen and asked the manager, "Do you know who this man is?" ”

The bar manager didn't see which customer it was for a long time, so he could only shake his head, it seems that there is no gain today. When I asked the outside in charge of the search, I was given an equally disappointing answer. Could it be that Tao Ming disappeared out of thin air? (To be continued.) )
