The night was as black as ink, and it was pressing down on the entire planet. There were a few thunderstorms in the sky, and I heard the thunder getting closer and closer. Finally, it was like it exploded in my ears. Soon, the rain poured down from far away in the sky, with a roar and a deserved torrent, washing the otherwise bustling streets into silence.

Xiao Ning, an employee of a well-known restaurant, is always a professional person. At this moment, he couldn't help but complain in the face of the sudden heavy rain. He was aggrieved by his restaurant and secretly dissatisfied with the boss's decision-making. As a well-known local restaurant, it is crowded with customers every day. But the boss insisted on undertaking the takeaway business, and the delivery range was amazing. Unfortunately, when there was a shortage of manpower, Xiao Ning worked part-time as a delivery boy. This night, the store received an order from an old customer in the suburbs. There was no way, in order to satisfy the old customers, Xiao Ning could only set off in the rain.

Another thunder exploded in the sky, and Xiao Ning's ears were shaken and hurt. He tried his best to hold the little donkey's handlebar, pulled the car to the side of the road, wiped the rain from his face, and then shook off the remaining rain from his own hands. He glanced at his watch, and figured that he was less than an hour away from his destination. Xiao Ning sighed and glanced at the dark area between the city and the suburbs in front of him, the light of the street lamps was faint. A gust of wind blew a few drops of rain into Xiao Ning's neck. Xiao Ning shuddered, erected his collar, shrunk his neck, wiped the rain on his face again, and after confirming that the food behind him was safe, the little donkey galloped again in the dark rainy night.

The lights gradually brightened, and in front of me was a cluster of villas far away in the suburbs, which was worth a lot of money. Xiao Ning has been here a few times, and he also recognizes the customer who ordered this time. The community has a strict access control, and all outside vehicles are prohibited from entering, especially takeaway vehicles. Xiao Ning parked the car at the entrance of the community, put down the erected neckline, picked up the meal behind the car, and walked into the community. Bright light is really a good medicine against fear, and Xiao Ning became bolder.

"Meow!" A shrill cat meow came out of the grass on the side of the road, and then a dark shadow scurried past Xiao Ning's feet. Xiao Ning's heart that had been settled down trembled violently, and his body was also excited to jump into the air. Xiao Ning panicked and immediately went to check the food at hand, and then he was relieved. Xiao Ning looked at the direction where the wild cat disappeared resentfully, and scolded hatefully: "Dead cat!" ”

Xiao Ning finally succeeded in standing in front of the familiar villa. Xiao Ning walked to the side of the door and rang the doorbell, but there was no response. The curtains were all drawn, and Xiao Ning couldn't see the situation inside the house. He dialed the customer's phone again, but it didn't get through. Xiao Ning had no choice but to walk to the door and knock on the door. Unexpectedly, the door was hidden. The door was knocked on by Xiao Ning, and a crack slowly opened.

"Is anyone there, please?" Xiao Ning stood outside the house and asked, still not getting any response. Xiao Ning glanced at the food in his hand, and immediately turned his heart sideways, thinking that he had to complete the food delivery task. Xiao Ning planned to open the door and leave the food in the house, and then leave a message to explain the situation to the customer. "Yes, that's it." Xiao Ning made up his mind.

Xiao Ning gently pushed the door open. The door was facing the hall, and the lights in the room were on, dazzling to the eye.

"Hello, the takeout you ordered has arrived." After opening the door, Xiao Ning found that the guest who ordered the meal was lying on the coffee table in the living room, seemingly asleep. Xiao Ning stomped his foot on the carpet outside the house, shook off the rain, and then walked into the house. Xiao Ning walked over to the guest and put the things down. "Hello, all the meals you ordered are complete, if there is no problem, I will leave first." Xiao Ning just wanted to turn around, but found that the guest hadn't woken up at all, could it be that he had slept deeply? Xiao Ning frowned, reached out and gently patted the guest's shoulder. Didn't wake up...... Xiao Ning stood there and began to think crankily. Xiao Ning glanced at the guest in front of him, temporarily interrupted those cranky thoughts, mustered up courage, increased the force in his hand, and pushed the guest.

"Ahh Outside the house, a bright lightning bolt matched Xiao Ning's shout. Xiao Ning took two steps back, slipped on his feet, didn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground. Xiao Ning swallowed heavily, his body trembling a little, but he still tried his best to get up from the ground. Xiao Ning approached the guest again. At this moment, the guest collapsed on the coffee table with his face up, and his makeup was good, but his face was very white and his lips were blue. Xiao Ning mustered up the courage to probe the guest's snort. Sure enough, the man died.

The music of the night changed from a solo song in a thunderstorm to a reverb mixed with the sound of a police car. Xiao Ning was afraid, but his thinking was still clear, and he knew that calling the police in this situation was the most correct choice. The police interrogated Xiao Ning as necessary, and after going through the regular procedures, they confirmed that Xiao Ning had no possibility of committing the crime, and let Xiao Ning leave.

"It is preliminarily concluded that the time of death due to cyanide poisoning is about ......," the medical examiner looked at his watch, "two to three hours." Accurate judgment will have to wait for the results of the autopsy. ”

The policeman who took the lead looked at the corpse in front of him and nodded solemnly.

"Head, look at this." A young policeman brings his phone screen in front of him. "This is the deceased's Weibo account, and about three hours ago, she posted such a status."

The state on Weibo reads: If death is the only way to seek relief, I do.

"Judging from this status, it is very likely that the deceased committed suicide." The young policeman voiced his initial judgment.

"Why do you say that?" Another police officer joined their discussion. They all called this policeman "detective" behind their backs. Naturally, it is because he has solved many cases. By the way, this policeman's name is Wang Xu.

Wang Xu stared at the young policeman who had just spoken. The policeman, a little timid, stopped his words. "It's okay." Wang Xu laughed, "Let's exchange views." ”

The young policeman glanced at the leader, then at Wang Xu, and began his reasoning. "I looked into some clues. The social relations of the deceased may seem complicated, but they are actually relatively simple. Through the monitoring of the community, it can be found that only one person frequented the deceased's house. The identity of this person has been confirmed, his name is Song Yi, and he is a local entrepreneur with a small achievement. I've asked him to come to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation. However, during the time when the deceased's death occurred, Song Yi was partying with friends at a restaurant. This has been confirmed by the restaurant side and his friends. Therefore, the possibility of him committing the crime can be basically ruled out. In addition, I also inquired about the deceased's case in the hospital. The deceased had a history of moderate to severe depression and was on treatment. Finally, there is evidence of a status similar to a suicide note on Weibo. So, I think it's very likely that the deceased will commit suicide. The young policeman told his inferences and the evidence he had found in one breath.

"Head, he will send me as an assistant in the future, his ability to do things is good." Wang Xu looked at the policeman who took the lead, smiled, and patted the young policeman on the shoulder. When the young policeman heard such a compliment from his senior, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a perfect arc.

"I have a different opinion, though." Wang Xu's expression became serious. "There are still a lot of problems that need to be sorted out, and it is not easy to conclude that suicide is made. First of all, the person who has frequent contact with the deceased is not necessarily the murderer, the key is to investigate social relations and find the motive for the killing. Secondly, even if it is that Song Yi, even if he has an alibi, the suspicion of murder cannot be ruled out immediately. Also, did the last words on Weibo have to be made by the deceased himself? I searched the house twice and there was no sign of theft. But there was only one thing missing. Wang Xu said this, and glanced at the dazed young policeman and his brows were furrowed.

"What is it?" The young policeman couldn't contain his curiosity and asked first.

"Cell phone." Wang Xu pursed his mouth. "I checked the IP of the Weibo status and confirmed that it was sent from the deceased's own mobile phone. But now, the phone is gone. The state was sent three hours earlier, and the deceased died after that. Would a dying person still think of a way to get rid of his phone? ”

Wang Xu said as the young policeman took out a notebook and recorded the valid information that Wang Xu said.

"I also inquired about the restaurant where the deceased ordered the food, and there were also two suspicious points. Look at the takeaway on the table. Wang Xu pointed to the food on the table, "Do you think a woman eats so many things?" ”

The young policeman stopped the pen in his hand and suddenly tapped his head: "If it's two people, it's about the same." ”

"That's right. If this is the case, then the dead must be waiting for someone. Since the deceased is waiting for someone, it is a bit illogical to commit suicide before the person who is waiting has not appeared. ”

The head and the young policeman nodded.

In addition, according to the recollection of the person who received the phone order, the deceased's phone call to order food was also very problematic. But the employee who received the call didn't know what the problem was. Because of the ordering process, there was zero communication between the operator and the deceased. ”

"Zero communication?" The head looked at Wang Xu with some surprise.

"The same cannot be said. No way, my language level is limited. To be precise, the deceased and the operator of the restaurant should have communicated unilaterally and hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. ”

"Wasn't it the call from the deceased?" The young policeman stared at Wang Xu as he spoke.

"It was indeed a call from the deceased's mobile phone, and according to the operator, it was also a woman's voice."

"If that's the case, we didn't hear the call, so we can't be sure what went wrong, right?

"That's true, but we can use our imagination without limits. What if the call was made by the deceased before? ”
