Li Guo was silent for a while, and pushed the folder in his hand in front of Ling Li: "Have you carefully read the autopsy report?" You read this paragraph carefully. ”

According to what Li Guo said, Ling Li lowered her eyes and looked at the section he focused on: subcutaneous bleeding was seen on the back of the corpse's shoulder, outside of the right shoulder blade, and at the second lumbar vertebrae, which was analyzed as a premortem injury in combination with the autopsy.

Li Guo asked her to look at it quietly for a while, and then said with some concern: "This is a paragraph from your mother's autopsy report. Because the deceased apparently died of poisoning, and it cannot be ruled out that these injuries were left by struggling too much after taking the poison, the police did not do much investigation. Just ......"

He stopped, looked at her with a little worry, and gave Lu Xiaoxiao another look to ask her to do a good job of comforting.

And Ling Li's breathing became tighter and tighter as his voice became more and more solemn.

Li Guo continued: "Judging from the autopsy report, these injuries are different from those on your sister and brother, these injuries are almost all old injuries, and the scars are deep and shallow, and they were not formed on the day of the crime. The traces of these wounds seem to indicate that your mother was subjected to violence during her lifetime, and more than once. ”

Li Guo fully considered her emotions and said very vaguely. But Ling Li knew that what he meant was that her mother had been treated violently.

And it is likely that her father caused these scars.

Such a conclusion completely subverted her 25-year-old perception of her parents' relationship.

How could her father, the gentle, humble and reticent Dr. Ling, be a person with a tendency to domestic violence?

The father and mother in my impression rarely even quarrel, how can it be associated with domestic violence?

Besides, although her mother is not highly educated, she is definitely not a submissive person, but very assertive. Otherwise, how could Dr. Ling, who was high-spirited back then, fall in love with her floating in the capital like duckweed?

Ling Li's dazed and overwhelmed expression made Li Guo a little unbearable to look at directly, but the things in his hand were more than just autopsy reports.

Lu Xiaoxiao is proud by nature, and it is always rare to ask for help, and he will only ask him to come as a last resort, so he has always gone all out for her.

This time, it took more than a month to make these bits and pieces, but the effect of piecing them together was far beyond his expectations.

Li Guo has carefully studied these materials word by word, and a chain of evidence has been initially formed in his mind, which is completely different from the previous case.

Zhong Chengheng's poisoning case, I'm afraid that the case will really be overturned. Moreover, it is not just a not-guilty verdict of the court, but the kind of reversal of the case that really frees him from the stigma of being a murderer.

He sighed and pulled a thin sheet of paper out of his bag.

Pushing the thing in front of Ling Li, he said slowly, "This is the last report that Officer Zhou wrote before he was suspended. In fact, regarding the source of the poison, the police have investigated many vendors. But because trafficking* is not legal, no one wants to admit it. Besides, there are indeed a lot of people who sell that thing, and the source is too wide, and it is difficult to investigate. However, Officer Zhou's final investigation finally paid off. ”

This thing, which Li Guo attached great importance to, made Ling Li temporarily interrupt her suspicion and shock, and returned to the current problem.

She looked carefully at the thin page in her hand, and Lu Xiaoxiao also leaned over, obviously very concerned about this key content.

It was a report from Zhou Qingchun to the director, just a few lines, but it was written that there was good reason to believe that the ultimate source of * was written. Eight years after the incident, a small trader finally admitted that one of the people involved in the case had bought it*.

This is the first and last admission by this witness.

Ling Li did not feel resentful, and he could understand that when the case occurred eight years ago, he did not stand up and point out the source of the poison, whether it was causing Zhong Chengheng to be wronged for eight years, or causing the Ling family to be wronged, it obviously violated the basic principles and conscience of being a human being.

Zhong Chengheng's case is the focus of attention, if it is exposed at this moment that there are key witnesses who knew the source of * but did not report it because they were afraid of punishment, so that the facts of the case could not be clarified, they would inevitably be pointed out by thousands of people.

Zhou Qingchun did not disclose the vendor's name in the report, but it did say that Ling Jiashu, who was Ling Li's father, had purchased it from the vendor three days before the incident*.

Zhou Qingchun also said in the report that the small trader asked not to reveal his name, and he already had an idea of the real cause of death of the Ling family, and believed that the truth would be revealed soon, and asked the office to report to the city bureau and the provincial bureau to deal with public opinion.

After reading the report, Ling Li raised her head, her face pale.

She clearly remembered that there was no trace of * at the scene of the crime, but where did her father buy * three days ago?

Lu Xiaoxiao had already understood, raised her head and covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise: "Could it be ......?"

Immediately after, Ling Li's body trembled uncontrollably, her lips turned white, and she couldn't say a word.

The source of the poison that poisoned her entire family turned out to be her father who bought it himself?

She shook her head in a daze.

Impossible, how is this possible! How could it be that her dad bought it*? Could it be a mistake?

"Impossible!" She emphasized categorically, but she still couldn't stop her thoughts from diverging.

And what Officer Zhou finally proposed was to do a good job in dealing with public opinion?

Under what circumstances do government authorities need to do public relations?

From the perspective of Ling Li's limited cognition, when there are emergencies that are not conducive to the image of the government, when the public's views on certain events are easily distorted by the media, and when careless handling will cause serious consequences, in these cases, public opinion is needed to respond and do a good job in public opinion guidance.

Although Officer Zhou did not explain what he found in the report, his last reminder has already shown that the clues in his hands are bound to be unfavorable to the police.

Combined with the clues after the case and these things seen today, basically the cause and effect of the case has a rudimentary shape.

The things that Li Guo showed her today can actually be divided into three categories.

First, it is the four witness testimonies that outline the life trajectory of the Ling family on that day, among which the most frequent is Ling Jiashu.

In the morning, he went out to worship alone with the wine and knocked over the bottle. After returning home, in the afternoon, Ling Li's mother went out to buy wine, and she had fresh-looking bruises on her hands.

After four o'clock, the homeless man came to steal something, looked at Ling Ling a few more times, and was beaten by him with a hard latch, and almost made things out of control.

After that, Zhong Chengheng came to the door, and the two seemed to have an argument and quarreled very much.

Second, it is the autopsy report of Ling Li's mother.

Fresh bruises, multiple old wounds, showing that she didn't seem to be doing so well in the days leading up to her death.

Finally, there are the results of Zhou Qingchun's investigation.

Three days before the crime, Ling Jiashu had purchased*, but at the scene of the crime, he did not find * and the packaging.

Combined with what Ling Li knew, the family's financial tension back then, his father began to drink like a lot, his temper was unprovoked, and his sister's affairs made him lose face......

All the conjectures in Ling Li's mind pointed to a direction she had never thought of.

Looking at Ling Li's pale face and chaotic appearance, she was as smart as Lu Xiaoxiao, what was she thinking about the way of nature.

She couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly pressed her somewhat cold hand, and said in a firm tone: "Don't panic, these things can't prove anything at all, even if the poison is really bought by your father, it can't be ruled out that the prisoner will temporarily add * to the meal, and then quietly leave." ”

Ling Li finally reacted, raised her eyes to look at her, nodded slightly, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Yes, at this critical juncture, I can't panic." ”

Seeing that her mood was better, Lu Xiaoxiao's hanging heart let go a little, and then comforted: "Don't guess, don't drill the horns, I will urge Guozi to continue to collect relevant evidence." No matter what the result is, you must not do anything stupid, if you have any new ideas, you should tell me as soon as possible, okay? ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxiao taking care of himself, Li Guo was a little helpless, and was about to open his mouth to refuse so as not to get into trouble, but he saw Lu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry, so he couldn't help but agree: "Don't worry, I will continue to pay attention, Nanxi is the area I am in charge of, and I will definitely know what is going on in this kind of big and important case, and I will definitely let you know about it." ”

The words were spoken, but he found that this was not what he thought in his heart at all.

Li Guo felt a moment of annoyance.

When Lu Xiaoxiao doesn't talk about haircuts, he can deal with it calmly. But once she has an unhappy emotion in her eyes, she will make his head knotted and often do unreasonable things.

She should live a wanton and splendid life, she can laugh and scold, she can be angry with fresh clothes, and even call a lot of men brothers and sisters with yellow jokes in her mouth.

Only the tips of her eyebrows are frowned, and her eyes are full of melancholy, which is not suitable for her.

The reason why he let go and didn't struggle a little back then was that after watching her with him, he became more and more unhappy?

Lu Xiaoxiao was still trying to persuade Ling Li, and Ling Li's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the three words Nan Zhiyi flashing on the screen, Lu Xiaoxiao took Li Guo to the table on the side knowingly.

This call came by coincidence, but I don't know, the Frankenstein who is thousands of miles away and can make her lose her armor can make this ignorant rookie settle down in a panicked heart?

"Hey." Ling Li stabilized her emotions and finally picked up the phone after more than ten seconds.

And Nan Zhiyi's voice on the other side seemed to have just woken up: "Fan girl, I have a book about the Tomato Illustrated Book, where did I put it?" Can you help me find it? ”

"I don't know right now." She carefully hid the hoarseness in her voice.

"Oh, you're out there?" He asked, casually saying, "Be careful and safe, it's best to find someone to accompany you." ”

"Hmm." She replied simply, not noticing a nasal sound in her voice.

Nan Zhiyi's casual voice just now suddenly became serious: "What's wrong with you?" Is it crying? ”

Unexpectedly, such a subtle change was also noticed by him, Ling Li had to admit with some surprise: "It's okay, it's already fine." ”

After being silent for a long time, he whispered: "Don't lie to me, you're very unhappy now, right?" ”

Ling Li was dumbfounded again, and subconsciously asked, "How did you know?" ”

When the words had already been asked, Ling Li remembered the previous experience. He is very smug on the surface, but he seems to be very sensitive to people's emotions and expressions, and can always easily tell whether she is depressed, unhappy, annoyed or sad.

Moreover, the existence of this mind-reading technique is generally against the sky, and it doesn't seem to take effect just because it's over the phone, and the casting distance is extraordinarily long.

She was still stunned, Nan Zhiyi had already softened her voice: "Fan girl, can you tell me what happened?" ”

His rare and cautious gentleness made her a little sour, suppressed the emotions tumbling in her heart, and simply finished talking about the chain reaction caused by Zhou Qingchun's suicide that she learned from Li Guo today, and some of the evidence newly obtained by the police.

Still, she didn't say what she deduced.

She was a little afraid that as soon as she said it, the conjectures that had plunged her into despair would become reality.
