《Special Case Investigation Team》


 CH 1

    (T/N: I¡¯ve no editor for this story for now)


    Cheng Jin believes that the important turning point in his life was when he was 14 years old.


    At the beginning of that year, the plane his parents were on crashed, and neither of them survived. After hearing the news, his grandfather suffered a heart attack and died.


    In the blink of an eye, his family was destroyed, leaving only him and his grandmother dependent on each other for their lives.


    His grandmother was in her 60s that year, and her health was not very good. When the bad news came, the old lady took care of everything in an orderly manner, because she knew she couldn¡¯t fall down yet, or what would her young grandson do without her.


    At this moment, Cheng Jin felt that the sky was falling down, and after a few days in a daze, he remembered that his grandmother was still old but had to deal with the affairs of his parents and grandfather alone, and had to take care of him every day. Overnight, Cheng Jin realised that he should be an adult, and he would take care of his elderly grandmother in the future.


    People can put a smile on their faces and pretend to forget the pain, but those injuries are clear in their hearts, and they are even more bloody in the dead of night.


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t sleep every night. When his grandmother fell asleep, he would secretly go out and wander aimlessly in Qianming City. When it was almost dawn, he would go home exhausted, sleep for two hours, and then get up to buy his and Grandma¡¯s breakfast. Before going to school he would eat with his grandmother.


    This situation changed at the end of the year. Cheng Jin felt that someone was always following him in those days. Looking back, except for the occasional car driving by, there were no pedestrians at all. Cheng Jin didn¡¯t see anything strange. He still took a regular walk outside late at night and went home when it was time.


    One day after Cheng Jin felt that he had been followed for almost a week, when he was walking through an alley that night, he suddenly felt a palpitation1.


    As soon as he turned around, he was thrown to the ground. Cheng Jin struggled with the person who attacked him. When the scuffle2 started, Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes were already used to the darkness. Even if the attacker put the sportswear hat on his head, he could still see clearly that this was a boy about his age, so he sighed in relief: ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡±


    After the death of his parents, Cheng Jin has been wondering why it was not someone else who died, but he never thought of hurting others.


    Later, Cheng Jin never went out to roam at night again, and his grandmother¡¯s eyes were no longer so worried when she looked at him. He had been to various nursing homes and hospitals to find the boy, but he never saw him again.

    1. Palpitation: the sensation that the heart is racing, pounding, fluttering or skipping a beat, often bothersome.


    2. Scuffle: a short fight or struggle at close quarters.

    ¡°Off duty!! Team Cheng, you said this weekend was on the house!¡± A group of people in the police station was in an uproar.


    This Friday, a few days ago the first team of the criminal police team just worked overtime to solve a major robbery case, Cheng Jin promised to treat them, ¡°go ah, where to go? KTV?¡±


    ¡°No, today we¡¯re going to Xie Du!¡± Xie Du is a bar, they agreed to go to the bar to spend a lot of money.


    ¡°Xie Du? Then my salary this month is not enough for you guys to drink, so I don¡¯t have to eat!¡±


    ¡°Head, the meal is easy to handle, this month¡¯s meals are on us.¡±


    ¡°Then what else can I say? The bar isn¡¯t open this early either, so you guys treat me to dinner first.¡± Cheng Jin laughed.


    Everyone wailed, they had to pay for dinner first before drinking wine, everyone made up their mind to drink the whole night and must not return.


    Cheng Jin went there occasionally, and he also knew Wang He, the boss there.


    As soon as their group of plainclothes entered the bar, the boss rushed over to greet them, ¡°Brother Cheng, how are you here today? ¡±


    ¡°The police also have to take a break for entertainment. Came over for a few drinks. ¡°Cheng Jin smiled. The boss is in his 30s and a few years older than himself. When he sees him, he calls him Brother Cheng. Cheng Jin doesn¡¯t bother to correct him.


    ¡°Ah, welcome, welcome, free order today, I¡¯ll treat you!¡±


    ¡°You help me watch here, I¡¯ll go down and have a look.¡±Cheng Jin ran downstairs. The people in the bar were still drinking and dancing and didn¡¯t hear the sound outside at all. Cheng Jin found his colleagues and asked the two of them to go to the backyard to see the situation, and then asked the two of them to guard the door of the bar from letting people out, and then asked one person to find the boss and ask him to wait to help maintain the order, and then assigned two people to check the above floor to see from where the person jumped.


    When Cheng Jin rushed to the backyard, Wu Jian and Li Mingjie were there to maintain the scene. Wu Jian said, ¡°Team Cheng, the ambulance will be here soon, and the people in the bureau have been called to help.¡± Cheng Jin nodded. There were too many people in the bar, and these people would definitely not be able to control the scene on their own for a while, so he asked them to contact the bureau at the beginning.


    A young man in his twenties was strung on an iron railing, and blood flowed along the iron railing. Cheng Jin stepped forward and checked his breath. The man was still alive. Cheng Jin frowned and thought: What should be done in this situation? Sawing off the iron railing?


    There were two people next to him. Cheng Jin asked the staff of the bar. They all said that a person suddenly fell from above. Cheng Jin asked them if they saw which one it was. They said it was the second one, because as soon as the person jumped down, someone at the window screamed and leaned out to see. Cheng Jin called Li Mingjie: ¡°Xiao Li, go up to the second floor and talk to Lao Zhang and the others.¡±


    Wu Jian in the back was stopping a person: ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry, you can¡¯t go over now. ¡±


    T/N: Chen Jin¡¯s and Yang Simo¡¯s interactions¡­.(?>?<?)

 CH 3

    Liu Chang lives in an old community. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, a drunken man with a shaggy beard came to open the door. Cheng Jin showed his police ID card, the man sneered and let them in: ¡°What do you want again? You said I was a drug addict, and now my wife wants to divorce me, are you happy?¡±


    Cheng Jin and Wu Jian walked into the room, there was a strong smell of alcohol, the room was in a mess clearly looking like it has long since been cleaned up, Wu Jian asked him: ¡°You said you stopped taking drugs, so mind explaining to us what is going on?¡±


    ¡°How the fuck should I know what¡¯s going on, I¡¯ve been clean for years, I¡¯m definitely not going to do that shit again!¡± Liu Chang cursed.


    Cheng Jin looked at him, ¡°Have you ever been to a bar called Xie Du?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been to a bar since I got married, I just go to work every day, get off work, and then go home back, how can I have time to do drugs!¡±


    ¡°Did you eat or drink anything in the hours before you took the drugs?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Liu Chang frowned, ¡°I had a cold that day, my appetite was not good so I didn¡¯t eat anything.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t eat anything?¡± Cheng Jin asked him to make sure.


    ¡°I drank water in the office and everyone in the office drank water from there.¡± Liu Chang thought for a moment, ¡°I also ate cold medicine.¡± After saying this he went into the room to take the leftover cold medicine. Later that day after being hit by a car, he stayed in the hospital for a few days so he didn¡¯t eat these cold medicines again. The hospital that prescribed him the cold medicine and the hospital he stayed in after he was hit by the car were both the Huiren Hospital.


    Cheng Jin saw that the middle opening part of the cold medicine was used which he found a little strange because generally most of the people start taking medicine from the side opening part, ¡°this medicine was completely sealed, right?¡±

    Chapter 4: Drug Poisoning Case (3)


    Cheng Jin asked Yang Simi: "Is it okay for you to come out alone?" Someone was following him yesterday.


    Yang Simi replied lightly, "I have no problem; as for their problems, it''s none of my business."


    "..." Cheng Jin was speechless, hoping that there would not be a group of people rushing to intercept him on the way.


    Cheng Jin lives not far from the police station. He bought this two-bedroom house three years ago. At that time, he had just started working at the police station. His grandmother passed away when he was a freshman. He never went back to Qianming City; it was his sad place. He would rather be heartbroken at the end of the world than go back to his hometown.


    After entering the room, Yang Simi handed a box to Cheng Jin, "This is for you."


    Cheng Jin smiled: "Why?"


    Yang Simi thought about it; he had never given anything to others before, and he didn''t know that giving something to others needed a reason, "A birthday present?"


    "My birthday has already passed this year, and my next birthday is in February next year; there are still many months left." Cheng Jin said.


    Yang Simi was a little puzzled; he wanted to take it back but saw Cheng Jin open it up. Inside the carton were a wind chime, a white bone wind chime, and a section of snow-white finger bones. If you take them for inspection, you''ll find they belong to different people.


    "... It''s cool!" After a while, Cheng Jin said with a normal smile.


    "I knew you would like it."


    Cheng Jin looked into Yang Simi''s shining eyes and couldn''t bear to say that he didn''t like it; at most, he just admired it, although the workmanship of this wind chime was indeed exquisite. He suddenly had a thought in his mind. Yang Simi could be said to be ignorant of the world to a certain extent; how could he think of giving himself a gift to express his affection for him? But why did he think of saying birthday present?


    Cheng Jin asked him: "Is your birthday recent? Have you received a birthday gift?"


    "October 25. My aunt gave me clothes."

    Cheng Jin went to their office with them. From the outside, it looked like they were in a military area. After going through multiple checkpoints, they entered the office. There were many people in the hall, and it was divided into several areas. Everyone looked very busy walking around. Bu Huan took Cheng Jin to an empty seat and asked him to sit down first.


    Wei Qing walked away and entered an office: "Chief Xie, Cheng Jin is here."


    Xie Ming nodded and asked him, "What do you think of Cheng Jin?"


    "Talented, but too casual."


    (velle: I believe the ¡®casual¡¯ is referring to the care for human feelings or people in general, like not being serious for his job and work.)


    "In your eyes, is there anyone who is not casual?" Xie Ming smiled, "Cheng Jin is a very ''practical'' person; he is naturally casual in front of casual people; if Bu Huan hadn''t gone with you, you would have seen him as serious as you."


    Wei Qing was silent.


    Xie Ming said, "Let''s go; let''s have a meeting when everyone is here."


    There were dozens of people sitting or standing in the conference room. This was the first time Cheng Jin had seen so many people gathered together for a case. He thought it might not be easy to handle things if there were too many people. He didn¡¯t know why he had come here.


    Xie Ming stood at the front, waited for everyone to get the distributed materials, and said, "Wei Qing, tell us what we know about the drug poisoning case now."


    Bu Huan walked over slowly and asked, "Where do you plan to start? I''ll help."


    Cheng Jin looked back at him and smiled, saying, "Thank you. Is there a list of people in the hospital? Have you classified them?"


    Bu Huan went to fetch a large stack of materials, "There are 15 interns in this hospital with Song Qiyuan. They are all classmates at the same level at the medical university, and they all know each other. Many doctors at Huiren Hospital also work at the medical university as teachers. Si Buming is a professor at the Medical University."


    Cheng Jin asked, "Who are the people who are relatively close to Si Buming and Song Qiyuan?"


    You Duo also came over: "Mainly there are 5 of them; all of them are in the professional courses of Bu Ming, and there is no one who has a good relationship with Song Qiyuan. Song Qiyuan doesn''t live in the dormitory; he has been living outside alone and is not very close with his classmates."


    Cheng Jin asked, "Is there anyone here who is proficient in computers?"


    Bu Huan patted You Duo: "This is an all-rounder, proficient in physics, chemistry, biology, and computers."

    Bu Huan drove over a small black passenger car that can seat up to ten people, "Let''s go; we don''t need to drive two cars with this one."


    The car was spacious and comfortable, and they all chose to sit in a row. When they saw Cheng Jin, who boarded the car last and sat next to Yang Simi, they were a little surprised, but no one showed it.


    The car drove directly into the medical university. Once entering the school gate, there is a vast square. On the edge of the square is the Academic Affairs Building. It is like a screen to block other scenery. Bypassing the Academic Affairs Building, you can find that the Medical University has a very good environment. The teaching schools and dormitories are hidden in the woods; there is even a small lake next to the woods. Beside the woods, a covered bridge is set up on the lake like a garden, and there are several small wooden pavilions beside the lake with students chatting and laughing inside.


    Looking at the scenery outside the window, Cheng Jin thought of his college life. He asked You Duo and An Xiaoyan, "Are you still in university?"


    You Duo said, "I have already graduated from university; Xiao An is still in university."


    Xiao An smiled: "I study computers; I applied for an exempted course, and I can just take the exam at the end of the term."


    Cheng Jin was surprised: "How old are you? I was still in high school when I was your age."


    Bu Huan laughed: "Don''t just look at You Duo''s face and think he''s underage."


    "Oh?"


    "I am 21 years old this year." You Duo was a little embarrassed.


    "Cough, I really can''t see it." Cheng Jin smiled and said, "What about Xiao An? She must be underage."


    "I''ll be an adult in a few months." Xiao An asked Cheng Jin, "How old are you?"


    "Simi and I are 26 years old." Cheng Jin didn''t mind talking about some private topics to let everyone get acquainted.


    Xiao An blinked; it was the first time she heard someone call Yang Simi so affectionately; they were strangers to Yang Simi than to Han Bin. Xiao An became curious: "You have known each other for a long time?"


    Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi, wondering if he would mind if others knew about it, "How old were we when we first met each other?" Bu Huan, who was driving, also pricked up his ears to listen.


    "14 years old." Yang Simi turned his head and glanced at Cheng Jin.


    "That''s right." Cheng Jin recalled his embarrassment at that time and said with a smile, "You don''t know, although Simi was as beautiful as a doll at that time, he was already good at fighting."


    Oh, psychological counselling... The boys were not interested, and they didn''t seem to be interested in cooperating with his work.


    "Believe me, I don''t like this kind of job either." Yang Simi smiled and blinked, "But it''s a routine."

 CH 7

    After Cheng Jin and the others finished seeing Zhao Zi, they went to see Si Buming. Han Bin also knew Professor Si, but he was not as familiar with Zhao Zi.


    After they came to Si Buming''s office and explained their intentions, Si Buming received them warmly. Si Buming is different from Zhao Zi. Zhao Zi is an academic and devotes himself to learning, while Si Buming is good at managing interpersonal relationships. He is now the vice president, and it is said that he is very likely to take over after the dean retires.


    Si Buming''s face was very heavy, "Song Qiyuan was a good student who was friendly and excellent in studies. I can''t figure out how this kind of thing happened to him. Why him?"


    "Professor, was Song Qiyuan''s stomach medicine also prescribed at Huiren Hospital?"


    "I don''t know about this, but it should be."


    Cheng Jin asked some more questions, and he found that Si Buming often glanced at his cell phone when answering the questions. He remembered one thing: when they came over just now, Si Buming was on the phone, but he hung up immediately after seeing them.


    Cheng Jin casually glanced at You Duo next to him and then said in surprise, "You Duo, what''s wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"


    You Duo''s face was pale, and he was on the verge of falling. Han Bin rushed to help him. He slid onto the ground like he was in weightlessness, causing Han Bin to stagger.


    Cheng Jin hurriedly said to Si Buming, "Professor, please help me find out what''s wrong with him."


    SI Buming was also startled, so he hurried over and checked quickly: "This symptom... he should be sent to the emergency room as soon as possible!" Si Buming couldn''t see the symptoms for a moment, but he saw that the whites of You Duo''s eyes were turning up, and he was about to foam at the mouth. He looked out of breath; he was also anxious, and he immediately wanted to find a colleague for help, but You Duo clung to his sleeve like a life-saving straw.


    Han Bin also urged: "Professor, where is the infirmary? We have to send him there quickly."


    "Yes, come with me!"


    Si Buming and Han Bin hurried to the infirmary, carrying You Duo.


    Cheng Jin hurriedly walked to Si Buming''s desk, turned on his mobile phone, and quickly recorded the recent contacts. After thinking about it, he simply took off his mobile phone card and copied a copy of the address book onto his mobile phone.


    Then he looked around and saw a magazine on the table, which should have been flipped by Si Buming not long ago. He opened it casually and found that a page was folded, so he looked carefully. There is an article on this page, and the author is Song Qiyuan. He took a picture of the cover of the magazine with his mobile phone, and when he heard someone approaching outside, fearing that Si Buming was back, he hurriedly restored everything and then walked towards the door of the office.


    However, when he walked near the door, he found that it was a strange teacher.


    He smiled and said, "Teacher, do you know where the infirmary is? Professor Si took my colleagues there just now, and I want to find them."


    Wei Qing''s face turned blue, but he still held back and said nothing.


    Bu Huan was still driving when they went back. He hoped that someone would take the initiative to drive, but unfortunately, no one was considerate.


    Yang Simi handed the tape to Cheng Jin.


    Cheng Jin took it and said with a smile, "It''s fine to let Bu Huan do things like take the tape; why are you going?"


    Bu Huan: "..." He is working as a labourer and a foil today.


    Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin innocently: "You said you wanted to listen to what we performed."


    Cheng Jin smiled, "Yes. Let''s go back and listen."


    A few hours later, You Duo woke up on the bench in the office.


    When Xiao An saw it, she ran over and asked him, "Are you hungry? You missed lunch, but we packed it for you. Would you like me to warm it up for you?"


    You Duo looked at his watch; it was already 6 o''clock. "No need; let''s have dinner together later." He sighed, "It''s the first time I''ve been sedated." It was also the first time he slept on an office chair for hours under the noses of dozens of people, and he didn''t want to sit here alone to eat during working hours.


    Bu Huan came over: "Boy, there is a first time for everything."


    "So, is there any progress now? Where''s Cheng Jin?" You Duo looked around, but he didn''t see Yang Simi.


    "They went to Liao Shixin''s house; we finally have a suspect!" Xiao An answered him.


    Si Buming said that this was a very common thing, and he didn''t think it had anything to do with the case, so he didn''t tell the police. In addition, he said that he knew about Song Qiyuan''s thesis. He said that Song Qiyuan had real talent and learning, but this young man didn''t like to be in the limelight and had never gone out to publicise it, so not many people knew about it.


    Wei Qing asked someone to ask Song Qiyuan''s girlfriend, Guo Lei, but like other students, she didn''t know about the thesis.


    They also went to Hong Fei, but they couldn''t get in touch yet. He recently went home on leave. Like Song Qiyuan, he also applied to a foreign university and received an admission notice. He will go abroad after a while.


    They also launched a series of investigations around Liao Shixin.


    They checked the records of books he borrowed in the last year and found that there are many books on toxin research and many books related to "Song Qiyuan''s papers". They also learned from other professors that he had indeed done some research on toxins and had also done many experiments that seemed to have a causal connection with "Song Qiyuan''s paper".


    At present, there is no clue that Song Qiyuan has read those books or done those experiments.


    Regarding Liao Shixin, he is from this city, and his family is a very ordinary family. What is unusual is that two months ago, the taxi his parents were in was involved in a car accident.


    It was late at night, and the taxi they were travelling in was hit by a giant coil of steel wire about 1.5 metres in diameter that rolled down from the truck. The driver died on the spot. Liao Shixin''s parents were seriously injured and spent several days in the intensive care unit of the People''s Hospital, but finally died on October 6.


    Wei Qing once again sent people to question the staff of Huiren Hospital, this time about Liao Shixin. Someone provided a clue: Liao Shixin had appeared in the hospital on October 11 and 13.

    "So the conclusion is: Liao Shixin wrote a thesis, but it was stolen by Song Qiyuan. Liao Shixin lost his parents overnight and found out that his thesis was stolen, so he killed Song Qiyuan out of anger?" You Duo didn''t expect the case to have such a big turning point.


    Bu Huan shrugged: "He didn''t kill impulsively, just like what Cheng Jin said: he planned the murder rationally."


    At this time, Wei Qing walked into the hall and asked, "How is the situation now?"


    "Liao Shixin is not at home, and his whereabouts have not been found yet." Someone replied.


    Another person said, "We have contacted Hong Fei."


    "Turn on the speaker." Wei Qing walked over to listen.


    "Hong Fei, hello, this is the Public Security Bureau. We want to know something from you. Have you ever done some research on toxins with Liao Shixin?"


    "No. We often do experiments together in the laboratory, but our research directions are different." Hong Fei said, "Liao Shixin''s research only involves toxins. I''ve got something to do now; can we talk later?"


    Wei Qing interjected, "This matter is urgent; please cooperate."


    Hong Fei was silent for a moment and said, "Sorry, it''s not convenient for me now; can I contact you in an hour?"


    Wei Qing still wanted to talk, but the other side had already hung up the phone, and when he called again, the phone was turned off. Wei Qing was very annoyed.


    Bu Huan said from the side, "Maybe if you had told him the Ministry of Security instead of the Public Security Bureau, he might have cooperated."


    (kiwii: Ministry of Security is a large organisation that has higher position and authority, i.e., it is responsible for foreign intelligence and other higher matters, whereas Public Security Bureau is your typical police station.)


    Wei Qing glared at him: "How about Song Qiyuan''s father? He still doesn''t admit anything?"


    "He said he didn''t know anything about his son at school."


    "He doesn''t even know that his son has received a notification letter from a well-known foreign university? Without that thesis, Song Qiyuan wouldn''t have received the notification letter!"


    "Calm down." Bu Huan said indifferently, "The boss is talking to him now."


    Wei Qing calmed down a lot when he heard that Xie Ming had come out.


    Soon after, Cheng Jin called back to ask if there had been any new developments.


    Bu Huan told him that Hong Fei had turned off the phone and could not be contacted.


    Cheng Jin mused, "Hong Fei said it''s inconvenient? Few people would tell the police that it was inconvenient, and even fewer would directly hang up the phone. I remember that he had a good relationship with Liao Shixin. Could it be that Liao Shixin is by his side now?"


    "You mean that Hong Fei might be in city B right now? I''ll check." After hanging up the phone, Bu Huan and Wei Qing told Cheng Jin''s guess.


    Wei Qing had someone trace Hong Fei''s cell phone and at the same time called to ask the staff stationed at the medical university if they had seen Hong Fei, but they had not received a notice from above saying that they should pay attention to a person named Hong Fei. People kept coming and going in and out of the dormitory, so they went to the dormitory to inquire, and only then did they know about Hong Fei. He did come back not long ago but went out again soon, but no one knows where he went.


    Wei Qing had no choice but to send additional personnel to search and inquire near the medical university.


    Seeing that Wei Qing''s expression was bad, Bu Huan persuaded him: "It''s not their fault; they didn''t know to pay attention to Hong Fei; they just focused on Liao Shixin."


    "Yes, because I didn''t tell them." Wei Qing was still angry.


    "Hey, it''s not your fault. It''s the first time we''ve done this kind of ''case-solving'' task, and we don''t have any experience in this area. You see, before we only took on tasks with clear goals, it was the first time we took on such an inexplicable murder task."


    "It''s more of an excuse." Although Wei Qing said that, he relaxed a little.


    Soon Xie Ming called to inform them that Song Qiyuan¡¯s father admitted that Song Qiyuan did not write that thesis, but he said that Song Qiyuan himself did not know that a paper was published in his name, and he said that these were all operated by Si Buming in private. Si Buming said that Liao Shixin was short of money, and he gave Liao Shixin 500,000 through Si Buming. He emphasised that Si Puming said that Liao Shixin voluntarily transferred ownership of the thesis to Song Qiyuan.


    Xie Ming strictly ordered them not to disclose this matter, which was the condition that Song Qiyuan''s father was willing to tell them.


    You Duo found it difficult to understand: "What did his father think?"


    Bu Huan imagined: "He should be the kind of person who really cares about a face. His son''s grades are mediocre, and he is very unwilling. He wants to let others know that his child is the proud son of heaven."


    "No wonder we found out that the relationship between the father and son has been very bad recently. Presumably it is because Song Qiyuan doesn''t want to go abroad, and they had a quarrel?"


    "Maybe." Bu Huan heard that Wei Qing was talking to Cheng Jin, so he turned his attention to that side and leaned over to listen.


    Cheng Jin was saying: "...after Liao Shixin''s parents got into a car accident, Liao Shixin was short of money, and then Si Buming got him to sell the thesis to Song Qiyuan, but Liao Shixin''s parents still passed away, and Liao Shixin hated Si Buming and Song Qiyuan out of desperation. Now that Song Qiyuan is dead, Si Buming should be his next target. Are Si Buming''s whereabouts under our control?"


    Wei Qing said, "Staff have been keeping watch on him. He just drove out of the house and doesn''t know where he went."


    "Which direction did he drive?" Cheng Jin asked, and Wei Qing reported the route to him.


    "I''ll go and have a look." Cheng Jinzheng was with Yang Simi and Han Bin, and he said to them, "Let''s follow Si Buming; maybe Liao Shixin will go look for him."


    Si Buming went to a hotel.


    When Cheng Jin and the others arrived, a colleague was waiting for them downstairs.


    "Si Buming has already gone in. He is here for the banquet. Our people have already followed."


    "Okay, which room is it? We need to know who else is in the room..." At this moment, Cheng Jin''s cell phone rang: "Hello, Xiao An?"


    "I know why Hong Fei said that he has something to do today; because he is going abroad, he is now inviting his professors to dinner. The brother of the medical university told me just now, I was just calling to try my luck, but I didn''t expect him to know."


    "You are doing well, Xiao An; do you know the location for dinner?"


    "Zhonghong Hotel, the address is..."


    "We are here now. I''ll hang up first." Cheng Jin hung up the phone and then ran, "Quick! We have to go there quickly if Liao Shixin is here¡­"


    Cheng Jin showed his ID to the hotel attendant and asked him to take them to Hong Fei''s room.


    At this time, Liao Shixin was indeed in the room, and the professors were also there. Hong Fei saw the professors chatting, so he took the time to ask Liao Shixin: "Shixin, a policeman called me and asked me if I had done a toxin experiment with you. Do you know what''s going on?"


    Hong Fei and Liao Shixin have a good relationship, mainly because they admire each other''s medical talents and feel like confidants to each other, and they are of great help to both when they do experiments together, so Hong Fei invited the professors to dinner. At that time, he also called Liao Shixin.


    Liao Shixin was startled, clenched the wine bottle in his hand, and then smiled: "It''s just a small matter. We''ll talk about these things after dinner. I''ll go to toast the teachers first."


    "Ok."


    Si Buming just clinked a glass with Zhao Zi, who was next to him, and drank all the wine in the glass.


    Liao Shixin came to help him refill it and then filled his own wine glass, saying, "Professor Si, I want to toast you. Thank you for helping my family. I will do it first out of respect!" After speaking, he drank it in one gulp and then lit the bottom of the cup.


    After Song Qiyuan''s accident, Si Buming has been uneasy. He didn''t want to come tonight, but considering that other professors were coming, he couldn''t deny it. After he came, he kept avoiding Liao Shixin¡ªit wasn''t that he found out that Liao Shixin was going to harm him, but because he felt embarrassed because of the thesis and the death of Liao Shixin''s parents.


    But now that Liao Shixin took the initiative to come over to toast, he couldn''t ignore it. Fortunately, Liao Shixin didn''t say anything to embarrass him. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Don''t be polite; this is what I should do." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass. He thinks that their glass of wine means "forgiving grievances with a smile".


    There was still some wine left in the bottle in Liao Shixin''s hand; he poured it into his own glass, opened a new bottle, and filled it up for Zhao Zi: "Professor Zhao, I respect you too; you are a good teacher; I admire you."


    Zhao Zi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You...don''t think so much; no matter how difficult the things are, they will pass, and the living people must live well."


    Liao Shixin''s hands trembled; he quickly drank the wine in the glass and went to respect Hong Fei again: "Hong Fei, you will become the most brilliant doctor. I''m sorry today..." After speaking, he drank another glass.


    Hong Fei was a little puzzled: "What''s wrong? You''re sorry? I''m confused... What''s wrong with you? Liao Shixin?!"


    Liao Shixin fell down suddenly, and Hong Fei hurried to help him.


    Zhao Zi next to him also called, "Si Buming? What''s wrong with you?"


    When Cheng Jin and the others ran upstairs and rushed into the room, it was already in chaos.


    The poison in Liao Shixin and Si Buming was not the previous toxin but a more deadly cyanide, which was very poisonous, and they died on the way to the hospital.


    Wei Qing took people to deal with the follow-up matters.


    Cheng Jin, Yang Simi, Han Bin, You Duo, and Xiao An were also called. They went to dinner together later. It was almost 9 o''clock by now. You Duo was very hungry; he didn''t eat breakfast, he also missed lunch, and he didn''t eat dinner until 9 o''clock.


    They were eating when a phone call came from the office, and a post appeared on a forum with the highest click-through rate. The beginning of the article read: Hello everyone, I am Liao Shixin. If anyone sees this post, then I''m already dead¡­


    This post is the suicide note left by Liao Shixin. He posted it by using the regular posting function of the forum.


    They dropped their chopsticks and hurried back to the office.


    Xiao An and other staff who were proficient in computers were immediately assigned a task: completely block the news of this post so that it could not continue to spread.


    Cheng Jin looked at Liao Shixin''s suicide note, and Xiao An said that Liao Shixin had set a timed posting function, and if he did not cancel the post at 9 o''clock, the post would be automatically posted.


    After his parent''s car accident, the truck that caused the accident fled, and they were not compensated. He needed a lot of money for his parent''s operation, and they were still in critical condition after the operation. They needed to live in a special ward, and the doctor said that other operations would be needed in the future... the expenses continued, like a bottomless pit.


    His family is just an ordinary family with little money. Although the teachers and students of the medical university also helped, it was still a drop in the bucket. At this time, Si Buming told him that he could sell his thesis. He considered it for a few days and finally agreed.


    After that, his parents had a second operation¡­ then they didn''t survive the critical period. If his parents had survived, he would have been grateful to Si Buming for the rest of his life, but they still died¡­


    He always blamed himself. If he had agreed to Si Buming a few days earlier and his parents had undergone the operation a few days earlier, would it have been possible for them to survive?


    Later, he heard that Song Qiyuan had given up studying in that


    world-renowned university, and he couldn''t restrain his hatred when he saw that what he was unwilling to let go was thrown away by others.


    He wants revenge. He made a careful plan.


    He first put a small amount of toxin in Liu Chang''s cold medicine, estimated the approximate dosage needed to kill an adult, and then formally put the poison in the stomach medicine. In order to conceal his real goal, he put poisonous capsules in several bottles of stomach medicine, but except for the poisonous capsules in one of the bottles that can cause death, the poisonous capsules in the other bottles are "safe". He replaced Song Qiyuan''s original stomach medicine with this bottle of "must die" stomach medicine.


    He thought his plan was very careful, but he didn''t expect that the police would find him soon.


    Until this afternoon, he was not at home. He saw the police go to his house when he was near it, and he knew the police must have found something, so he had to advance his plan. Originally, he didn''t want Si Buming''s death to be at his only friend''s farewell party...


    The most valuable part of the suicide note is that Liao Shixin said that besides Song Qiyuan, he had poisoned only three other bottles of stomach medicine. That is to say, the relevant departments no longer need to make efforts to find the stomach medicines sold by Huiren Hospital and no longer need to continue to test those medicines.


    Although Xiao An and others tried their best to prevent Liao Shixin''s suicide note from spreading on the Internet, the speed of spreading was very fast, and the netizens were rebellious. If you delete one copy, you could see 10 more copies.


    And this incident wasn''t completely over here; the butterfly effect it triggered continued and ultimately changed the future of many people.
