Chapter 12: The Inner Ghost
"It's a shame that the Yan team values you so much. You did such a thing."
"This ......" Yang Wenbin was taken aback. After a closer look, I found that the center of the group of people was none other than Li Hong." Here's what's going on."
"The police officer you said was the most likely to commit the crime. It's no one else. It's Xiao Hong." Yan Junli dropped this sentence. I walked into the office." What are you doing? Go back and sit."
But this time. Not only did the police not follow orders. Instead, some people glared back with red eyes.
"Captain. Do you want to shield this murderer from your comrades-in-arms when they see death and do not save them?"
"Blah blah blah. Speak clearly. How did Li Hong become a murderer?" Yang Wenbin interrupted a group of police officers with a big head.
"Dr. Yang. That's right." One of the policemen was the first to speak." I sat in Wu Lei at dinner today. It's the opposite of the dead and Li Hong. The two of them usually have a good relationship. Eat together often. Today they also ate together. Both of them took red bean bread......"
"Getting to the point." Yang Wenbin interrupted the other party.
"Oh. That's the point. Didn't you and Team Yan have trouble stalking today? Li Hong just sat down not long ago. I got a call before I could finish eating. So I hurried away. Before you go. He gave Wu Lei the red bean bread he didn't eat. Wu Lei ate it. But he didn't wait for him to finish eating. And he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and died." The policeman said this. His voice was choked." You said. This is not what Li Hong did, who else could it be."
"Captain Yan. Dr. Yang. I swear I really didn't do it." Li Hong's eyes were red. There was a helpless look on his face." I gave it to him because I knew that Wu Lei liked to eat red bean bread. If you don't have a strict team, you can call me. I'm going to have to eat that bread myself. And then there is the poison in him. It doesn't have to be in that bread."
Li Hong's words are not finished. A policeman came running from the direction of the hallway. Holding a report in his hand.
"Report to the captain. The forensic section's poison test report is out. It was the bread that the deceased ate before his death contained the highly toxic substance potassium cyanide."
All of a sudden. The audience fell silent. The policemen's gaze was like a knife. It's too late to live Li Hong.
"Thank you. Put the report on my desk." Yan Junli spoke calmly. Then he said to his indignant subordinates. Everybody. For the first time in history. The enemy is so presumptuous under our noses. Kill our brothers. We must not forgive this kind of presumptuous criminal behavior. But we can't just be suspicious of people because of this. That would most likely fall for the enemy's conspiracy. Dr. Yang Wenbin and I will definitely find out about this matter. If Li Hong is really a prisoner. We will never shield him. The prisoner will definitely be brought to justice, and everyone will be given justice to Officer Wu Lei. How's that?"
The police officers lowered their heads. Avoid Yan Junli's gaze.
"Wen Bin. XIAO Hong. Come on." Yan Junli beckoned to the two. Walked into the stairwell.
Li Hong followed behind the two in silence. Yan Junli headed. Walk ahead and open the door to the autopsy room.
"The deceased was poisoned with potassium cyanide. Rescue ineffective. Died on the spot. The time of death is 20:02 tonight. The error between the front and back is no more than two minutes." Yan Junli lifted the white cloth on the corpse on the autopsy table. sighed. After so many years. It's the first time I've met a deceased whose time of death is accurate to the minute."
"Did Shi Lize's group do it?" Yang Wenbin asked.
"Now except for their group. I can't think of anyone else who could be so bold and presumptuous." Yan Junli gritted his teeth. If let me know which guy laid the hand. I'll promise to shred that bastard."
"Yan Junli. I don't think the killer's purpose was to kill the officer in the first place." Yang Wenbin said as he began to examine the body.
"What do you mean?"
"That red bean bread was originally held by Xiao Hong, right? If it's not that phone call from you. That piece of bread has already entered Xiaohong's stomach."
"Then say that...... "Li Hong opened his mouth wide." What do you mean? The murderer wanted to kill me."
Yang Wenbin nodded. If it's Shi Lize's gang. I want to fight Yan Junli. Killing Li Hong, the deputy, is the best option. At that time, I acted with Yan Junli. Only Li Hong is not with us. The people on Shi Lize's side also know this."
"But." Li Hong said hesitantly. The red bean bread in the cafeteria is different from other foods. It's packed in a plastic bag. Many bags are placed together in a box for diners to pick and choose for themselves. Unlike other foods, which are distributed by cafeteria aunts. I was also taking a random loaf of bread from the box. How can it be poisoned?"
"Maybe they're doing something somewhere." YAN Junli Dao.
"How about that?" Yang Wenbin was already familiar with the gloves at this time, and picked up the scalpel." I'll stay here and examine the body again. You guys go to the cafeteria and look into possible clues. Because it's poisoning. The examination of the body will not delay much time. I'll go to you when I'm done with my business. How's that?"
Yan Junli and Li Hong looked at each other. Nodding.
"If you have any doubts, write them in the notebook next to you." Yan Junli instructed before leaving.
Yang Wenbin examined the body from beginning to end. It is indeed potassium cyanide poisoning. The skin, mucous membranes, and blood of the corpse were bright red. Just when Yang Wenbin had already put down the scalpel and was about to leave. He suddenly noticed that the corpse's mouth seemed to have an abnormal bulge.
Yang Wenbin took out the tweezers. Pulling open the corpse's mouth and carefully removing the foreign object from the mouth.
It turned out to be a crumpled little note. It's been made out of shape. Yang Wenbin carefully unfolded the note with tweezers. I saw two words written on it with a somewhat blurred inkblot:
Inner ghost.
Yang Wenbin was shocked. Almost without thinking about it, I crumpled the note again. Thrown into the trash. Thought about it. He picked it up again. Find an alcohol lamp and burn it to ashes.
Here we go again. Yang Wenbin stared at the burning alcohol lamp in a daze. Again, this kind of message that only came to him. In this kind of place that only he can see...
What the hell do you want to do? Clown him. What the hell do you want to do?
"Physician Yang. This way, this way." Yang Wenbin just walked to the door of the cafeteria. Li Hong was in a corner and beckoned to him desperately.
I really admire this kid. It's coming out of the shadows too fast.
"How. Did you find anything suspicious?" Yan Junli asked.
"No. Not at all. It's just ordinary poisoning." Yang Wenbin returned Yan Junli's notebook untouched. What about you? Did you find out anything?"
"No. We don't have it at all." Yan Junli turned sideways. Get out of the basket behind you that contains a lot of red bean bread." It's like Xiaohong said. The bread here is individually wrapped and selected by the diners."
Yang Wenbin walked over and picked up a few pieces of bread. Just as Yan Junli said. In addition to the slightly different packaging colors for different flavors. It's really all original factory bread.
"What about the poisoned bread?" Yang Wenbin asked.
"The bread was taken to the forensic section. The bags are here." Yan Junli took out the evidence bag. Inside is a plastic bag that has been torn open a corner. Yang Wenbin took it and looked at it. In addition to being creamy. I don't see any clues.
"The bags are exactly the same as the ones in the basket over there. I don't see any difference at all." Yang Wenbin shook his head and returned the evidence bag. I didn't expect you to like creamy bread. I think it's greasy."
"What's wrong with the cream. I look down on the cream." Li Hongbian pouted. Anyway, that's not the point. You really can't find any suspicions?"
Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli, look at me. I'll look at you. All shook their heads.
"Anyway, it's just a creamy loaf of bread that you just take. And then it's just poisonous inside." Yan Junli sighed. Maybe the murderer was poisoned in a random loaf of bread. Anyway, it's the police who eat the bread. The murderer's purpose has been achieved."
"That Xiaohong happens to be the one who got the bread. It's a bit too big a coincidence." Yang Wenbin said suspiciously.
"Let's not talk about the modus operandi. Since the murderer has chosen to target the people around me. I guess they want to send us some kind of message." Yan Junli looked at Yang Wenbin. asked. Do you have any ideas?"
Yang Wenbin was stunned. I suddenly felt a little weak." What the. What information."
"I don't know. I have a feeling. Although this matter was done by Shi Lize's side. But Shi Lize himself should not know." Yan Junli said. Because when I was in the warehouse tonight, the guy's expression didn't look like he wanted to warn me. Instead, he thinks he can kill the three of us. But at the same time. There's a guy at the police station who thinks I'm going to survive. Come and kill Li Hong to warn me. I have a vague feeling that the person who did this should be a deeper mastermind. Compared to him. Shi Lize is nothing more than a puppet to be used. The forces behind the scenes made a move against Li Hong. I'm afraid I want to bypass Shi Lize to convey some information to us. WEN Bin. Did you really find nothing when you examined the body?"
Yan Junli finished speaking, only to find that Yang Wenbin's eyes were not looking at him at all. Fluttering seems to be thinking about something.
"Yang Wenbin." Yan Junli called him again.
"Nope." Yang Wenbin finally shook his head. looked at Yan Junli. The tone was flat, and there were no ups and downs." I really didn't find anything suspicious."
