Chapter 18: The Fishing Boat Tragedy
There is no progress in the case of Han Yun's murder for the time being, and for the future, Ji Xiu plans to take one step at a time.
The world is full of dangers, and if you want to go further, you need to have the ability to protect yourself, which is why he wants to restart the sacrificial ritual.
Lying on the hospital bed and waiting for three days, Ji Xiu didn't wait for You Hong's reply.
During this period, he went to the treatment room to see Li Mumu, at this time Li Mumu was receiving the last stage of gene therapy, his body was soaked in a transparent recuperation warehouse, in a deep sleep, according to the doctor's explanation, he could recover and be discharged from the hospital in four weeks.
Ji Xiu, who had nothing to do, did not choose to apply for discharge, and lay on the hospital bed every day to read Internet information to deepen his understanding of the world.
this day.
Ji Xiu, who was wandering in the corridor in a hospital gown, heard his mobile phone ringing.
Pulling out his mobile phone from his pocket, the caller ID name is "Dock Black".
Picking up the phone, an unfamiliar voice came:
"Xiao Li, something happened to Lao Hua."
"What's going on?" Ji Xiu's expression became solemn, and he immediately asked.
He has a good impression of Lao Hua, and only from Li Tan's point of view, he can be said to be his benefactor.
"I can't tell you on the phone, you come to Pier 3 now, and I'm here to explain to you."
Hanging up the phone, Ji Xiu immediately came to the front desk of the inpatient department and applied for early discharge.
Out of the hospital, Ji Xiu took a taxi and went straight to the No. 3 pier where he usually works.
When he came to the dock, he found that the dock had been cordoned off, and it was full of people watching the excitement.
"Xiao Li."
At this time, a figure in overalls walked out of the crowd, and a little panic could be seen in his eyes, and his lips were pale and bloodless, as if he had been stimulated in some way.
"What's wrong with the old flowers?"
Ji Xiu immediately greeted him and took the initiative to ask.
"The old flower is dead."
"Dead?!" Ji Xiu was a little incredulous, it had only been separated for less than a week, how could Lao Hua suddenly die.
"I know that you have a good relationship with Lao Hua, so I will notify you and let you deal with Lao Hua's aftermath."
"What the hell is going on." Ji Xiu frowned slightly, faintly feeling that this matter was not simple.
"You come with me."
Following Lao Hei to the front of the cordon, Lao Hei stretched out his hand and pointed to the fishing boat docked at the edge of the pier and said in a deep voice:
"You also know that Lao Hua recently bought a fishing boat, got a permit to go to sea, and was ready to engage in a fishing business, this is his first time going to sea to fish, and it turned out to be this ...... of bad things."
Through Lao Hei's description, Ji Xiu gradually understood the beginning and end of Lao Hua's bizarre death.
About five days ago, the third day after he and Lao Hua separated, Lao Hua got the fishing boat he had purchased and went to sea with the workers he had gathered in advance.
As a result, the fishing boat had a major accident at sea, and all 13 people on board were poisoned except for one cook, and finally the remaining cooks steered the fishing boat back to the dock.
As for why Lao Hua and others were poisoned, the Law Enforcement Department is investigating, and the chef is very suspicious.
After understanding the reason, Ji Xiu's face became gloomy.
He vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with the Black Hole Killer Organization.
Puzzled, he lifted the barrier and walked towards the docks, no matter what, he had to understand why the old flowers were poisoned first.
At this time, a young figure in a law enforcement uniform blocked his way:
"The Law Enforcement Department is handling the case, and no entry is allowed here."
Ji Xiu stretched out his hand and took out the silver card ID card of the Saints Group from his pocket, and when he saw the ID card of the Saints Group, the young law enforcement officer who stopped him immediately retreated:
"Excuse me, go inside."
Ji Xiu nodded and walked towards the pier trestle.
At this time, there were three law enforcement officers standing on the trestle, surrounded by the bodies of 12 poisoned people covered with white cloths and lined up in turn.
Seeing Ji Xiu coming, the figure headed by him was about to speak, and then he saw the silver card in Ji Xiu's hand, and immediately stepped forward:
"Saints?"
"What's going on now?" Ji Xiu came to a corpse covered with a white cloth and squatted down, and asked while lifting the white cloth.
The corpse's body was blue, its complexion was purple, and there were obvious signs of poisoning, and its hideous and twisted expression proved that it had struggled in pain before death.
Faced with Ji Xiu's questioning, the law enforcement officer led by him immediately replied:
"The case is under investigation, and the suspect is Cai Qi, the ship's cook, and is now being sent to the Department of Law Enforcement for interrogation, and the bodies will be sent to the medical examiner for a detailed autopsy."
"I'll go along, right?"
"You are a member of the Saints Group, so naturally there is no problem, and we will fully cooperate with your work."
Looking through several corpses one after another, Ji Xiu found the dead old flower, this swarthy man who invited him to breakfast a few days ago, at this time his expression was hideous, there was white foam at the corner of his mouth, and there was vomiting residue on his clothes.
But the toxicity was so strong that the old flower could not hold up the fishing boat at all and died.
More than ten minutes later, the corpse transport vehicle of the Law Enforcement Department arrived, and Ji Xiu followed the personnel of the Law Enforcement Department to the forensic laboratory of the Law Enforcement Department.
The autopsy was performed by a woman who had wrapped herself so tightly that only one pair of eyes was exposed, so her age could not be seen.
While her autopsy was performing, Ji Xiu stood not far away waiting for the results.
Three hours later, Ji Xiu got the preliminary autopsy report, and the rest of the examination results needed to wait for more than 48 hours for pathological biopsy examination.
The report clearly states that the toxic substance "heartflower" was detected in the body of presbyopia and others.
This is a toxic substance extracted from plants, a small amount of consumption can play a role in protecting the cardiovascular system, excessive consumption is toxic, it can be determined that presbyopia and others are poisoned, not mistakenly ingested, after all, it is impossible to take a large amount of cardiophin with a normal diet.
With this report, Ji Xiu followed the law enforcement officers to the interrogation room.
Pushing the door in, the furnishings inside are very simple, two law enforcement officers are sitting in front of an interrogation table, and the suspect in this case is "Cai Qi" sitting on the iron chair in front of him.
Cai Qi was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, a goatee, and his eyes seemed to have been injured, one large and one small, and there was a scar on the corner of his left eye.
The law enforcement officers who followed Ji Xiu gestured to the two people who were being interrogated at this time, and one of them immediately stood up and gave him a seat.
Ji Xiu didn't shirk either, came to the interrogation table and sat down, looking at Cai Qi's information on the table.
Cai Qi.
Gender: Male.
Age: 41 years old.
Occupation: Dock porter.
Family Relations: ......
……
Raising his head, Ji Xiu looked at Cai Qi, who looked depressed, and then picked up the preliminary autopsy report in his hand:
"The autopsy report proves that Hua Liwei and others died of poisoning, you are responsible for the food and drink on the fishing boat Blackwater, their food has passed through your hands, and now only you have survived...... Do you admit that you are poisoned? ”
Looking at the autopsy report in Ji Xiu's hand, Cai Qi's face turned pale, nodded decadently, and directly admitted the fact of his crime:
"It's me."
"Why kill them?"
In the face of Ji Xiu's inquiry, Cai Qi's lips trembled a few times, as if he was organizing his language, accompanied by a trace of resentment in his eyes:
"Lao Hua they ruined my family, I was destroyed, and I don't want them to be better off than ......."
In Cai Qi's narration, Ji Xiu gradually understood Cai Qi's grievances with Lao Hua.
Cai Qi and Lao Hua first met five years ago, when Cai Qi was a dock porter in another shift, and every time he had nothing to do after work, he would gather with Lao Hua and others on the edge of the dock to play a card game called "Hunting Sea Beasts", which was essentially a kind of gambling.
Back then, Lao Hua and others set up a trap for Cai Qi, making him lose all his savings for several years.
But Lao Hua and others did not stop because of this, and Cai Qi, who wanted to turn the book through gambling, fell deeper and deeper, causing his son, who was supposed to go to college, to enter the society early because of the huge amount of money he owed, and work to pay off his debts.
But Cai Qi is still dreaming of turning the book, and finally his wife is separated, and he still owes gambling debts that he can't pay off in his life.
Until one day, Cai Qi happened to hear the secret of Lao Hua and others in the card game, and he suddenly had the idea of revenge when he had nothing.
This opportunity came a week ago.
Lao Hua bought a fishing boat and recruited employees to prepare to go to sea to fish, and most of the members who had been recruited were the same people who had followed Lao Hua to trap him in the first place.
Cai Qi's cooking skills are good, and he wants to join Lao Hua's fishing team as a chef.
The application process was very smooth, and in the eyes of Lao Hua, he still owed himself a lot of money, which was equivalent to hiring a chef for free.
Before the fishing boat went to sea, Cai Qi began to prepare a plan to kill Lao Hua.
For this reason, Cai Qi looked up a lot of information on the Internet, and finally decided to kill everyone on the fishing boat through the uncontrolled drug "heartflower".
Originally, Cai Qi planned to die with Lao Hua and others, but in the end he was scared and found that he couldn't face death calmly, so he didn't eat the poisoned meal he made, and returned with the automatic return function on the fishing boat.
Through Cai Qi's narration, Ji Xiu understood the beginning and end of the poisoning, and this case can basically be finalized.
But he always felt that there was a problem.
On the way to the interrogation room, he checked the "heartflower" and found that the toxicity of this non-controlled drug is very weak, and if it wants to reach the level of poisoning people, it needs a volume of 30 milliliters, and the dose of poisoning 12 people can be drunk as a drink, and if it is diluted in the soup, it will be difficult to kill people.
With doubts, Ji Xiu turned his head to look at the law enforcement officers standing behind him:
"Go check his shopping history and see how many doses of cardioancin he bought."
"Okay."
The law enforcement officers behind him who cooperated with his investigation immediately left.
Fifteen minutes later, the investigator arrived with a shopping slip.
Ji Xiu stretched out his hand to take the list and was surprised to find that Cai Qi had only purchased 50 ml of heartflower.
It is possible to poison one person, but it is impossible to poison 12 people.
Obviously, Cai Qi misunderstood the information found on the Internet, thinking that the amount of 30 ml could poison people, and bought 50 ml for the sake of insurance, but he didn't think about the dilution of the meal and the number of people.
This dose can't kill 12 people at all.
So behind this case, there may be another hidden story.
With doubts, Ji Xiu looked at Cai Qi and asked in a deep voice:
"Cai Qi, how many doses of heartflower did you buy?"
"50 ml." Cai Qi lowered his head and replied with a sluggish expression.
"50 ml can't poison 12 people at all, did you still buy cardiophidin from other channels?"
Hearing this, Cai Qi raised his head with a stunned expression:
"What?! This dose poisons people and does not kill people. ”
Observing Cai Qi's instantaneous micro-expression changes, Ji Xiu found that he didn't seem to be lying, and really thought that it was the 50 milliliters of Xinhuaxin that killed everyone on the fishing boat.
