Chapter 18 Fishing Boat Tragedy
  There is no progress in the case of Han Yun's murder. Regarding the future, Ji Xiu plans to take it one step at a time.

This world is full of dangers, and if you want to go further, you need the ability to protect yourself. This is why he wants to restart the sacrificial ceremony.

After lying on the hospital bed and waiting for three days, Ji Xiu didn't even 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 undergoing the last phase of gene therapy. His body was immersed in a transparent healing chamber and was in a deep sleep. According to the doctor's explanation, he would be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital in four weeks.

Ji Xiu, who had nothing to do, did not choose to apply for discharge. He lay in the hospital bed every day and read online information to deepen his understanding of the world.

this day.

Ji Xiu, who was wandering in the corridor in hospital clothes, heard his cell phone ring.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the name on the caller ID was "Dock Lao Hei".

After picking up the phone, a strange voice came:

"Xiao Li, something happened to the old lady."

"What happened?" Ji Xiu's expression became solemn and he asked immediately.

He has a good impression of Laohua. Looking at Laohua only from Li Tan's perspective, he can be said to be his benefactor.

"I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. Come to Pier 3 now and I'll explain it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiu immediately went to the front desk of the inpatient department and applied for early discharge procedures.

After leaving the hospital, Ji Xiu took a taxi and went straight to Pier 3 where he usually worked.

When he arrived at the pier, he found that the pier had been cordoned off and was surrounded by people watching the excitement.

"Little Li."

At this time, a figure wearing work clothes walked out of the crowd. You could see a bit of shock in his eyes, and his lips were pale and bloodless, as if he had been stimulated by some kind.

"What's wrong with the old flower?"

Ji Xiu immediately went up to him and asked proactively.

"The old lady is dead."

"Dead?!" Ji Xiu couldn't believe it. They had been separated for less than a week, so why did Laohua suddenly die.

"I know that you have a good relationship with Laohua, so I informed you to let you handle Laohua's funeral affairs."

"What happened?" Ji Xiu frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not simple.

"You come with me."

Following Lao Hei to the cordon, Lao Hei pointed to the fishing boat docked at the dock and said in a deep voice:
  "As you know, Laohua recently bought a fishing boat and obtained a sea-going license to start a fishing business. This was his first time going out to sea for fishing, but this happened..."

Through Lao Hei's description, Ji Xiu gradually understood the whole story of Lao Hua's mysterious death.

About five days ago, that is, the third day after he and Laohua separated, Laohua got the fishing boat he purchased and went to sea on that day with the workers who had been summoned in advance.

As a result, the fishing boat had a major accident at sea. All 13 people on the boat except one cook were poisoned. In the end, the remaining chef controlled the fishing boat back to the dock.

As for why Laohua and others were poisoned, the Law Enforcement Department is investigating, and the chef is a strong suspect.

After understanding the reason, Ji Xiu's expression turned gloomy.

He vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with the Black Hole Killer Organization.

With doubts, he lifted up the isolation belt and walked towards the dock. In any case, he had to first understand why the old woman was poisoned.

At this time, a young figure wearing a law enforcement uniform blocked his way:
  "The Law Enforcement Department is handling the case, and entry is not allowed here."

Ji Xiu reached into his pocket and took out the Saints Group's silver card. When he saw the Saints Group's ID card, the young law enforcement officer who blocked him immediately backed down:
  "Sorry, please go in."

Ji Xiu nodded and walked to the pier.

At this time, there were three law enforcement officers standing on the trestle, surrounded by the bodies of 12 poisoned people lined up in white cloth.

Seeing Ji Xiu approaching, the leading figure was about to speak. Then he saw the silver card in Ji Xiu's hand and immediately came forward to greet him:
  "saint?"

"What's going on now?" Ji Xiu came to a corpse covered with white cloth, squatted down, and asked while lifting the white cloth.

The body of the corpse was blue, the complexion was purple, and there were obvious traces of poisoning. The ferocious and twisted expression proved that there had been a painful struggle before death.

Facing Ji Xiu’s inquiry, the leading law enforcement officer immediately replied:

"The case is under investigation. The suspect is Cai Qi, the cook of the ship. He is now being sent to the Law Enforcement Department for interrogation. The bodies will be sent to the forensic doctor for a detailed autopsy later."

"Is it okay if I come with you?"

He used to be an amateur mystery novelist before traveling through time, but now he became interested in the case.

"You are a member of the Saints Group, so there is no problem. We will fully cooperate with your work."

After looking through several corpses one after another, Ji Xiu found the dead Laohua. This dark man who invited him to breakfast a few days ago had a ferocious expression, with foam at the corners of his mouth and vomit residue on his clothes. He must have died before his death. He found himself poisoned and resorted to inducing vomiting to save himself.

But the toxicity was so strong that the old flower died before the fishing boat could even reach the shore.

More than ten minutes later, the body transport truck from the Law Enforcement Department arrived, and Ji Xiu followed the Law Enforcement Department personnel to the forensic examination room of the Law Enforcement Department.

The person who performed the autopsy was a woman. She wrapped herself tightly and only exposed her eyes, so her age could not be seen.

While her autopsy was being done, Ji Xiu stood not far away waiting for the results.

Three hours later, Ji Xiu received the preliminary autopsy report. The remaining examination results would have to wait for more than 48 hours for pathological biopsy.

The report clearly stated that the toxic substance "antartin" was detected in the bodies of Laohua and others.

This is a poisonous substance extracted from plants. A small amount of consumption can protect the cardiovascular system. Excessive consumption of it is toxic. It can be determined that Laohua and others were poisoned rather than taken by mistake. After all, it is impossible to take a large amount in a normal diet. Heart flowers. With this report, Ji Xiu followed the law enforcement officers to the interrogation room.

Pushing the door open, the furnishings inside are very simple. Two law enforcement officers are sitting in front of an interrogation table, and the suspect in this case "Cai Qi" is sitting on the iron chair in front.

Cai Qi was wearing a leather jacket and trousers, with a goatee. His eyes seemed to have been injured, one big and one small, and there was a scar on the corner of his left eye.

The law enforcement officer following Ji Xiu then gestured to the two people being interrogated, and one of them immediately stood up and gave up his seat for him.

Ji Xiu did not refuse, came to the interrogation table, sat down, and looked at Cai Qi's information on the table.

Cai Qi.

Sex: Male.

Age: 41 years old.

Occupation: Dock porter.

Family relations:…

……

Raising his head, Ji Xiu looked at Cai Qi, who was looking 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 on the Blackwater fishing boat. All their food passed through your hands. Now you are the only one who survives... Do you admit that you were the one who poisoned them? "

Looking at the autopsy report in Ji Xiu's hand, Cai Qi turned pale, nodded decadently, and directly admitted the fact of his crime:

"it's me."

"Why kill them?"

Facing Ji Xiu's inquiry, Cai Qi's lips trembled a few times, as if he was organizing his words, and a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes as he recalled:

"Laohua and the others ruined my family, I was ruined, and I don't want them to have an easy time..."

In Cai Qi's narration, Ji Xiu gradually understood the grudge between Cai Qi and Laohua.

Cai Qi and Laohua first met five years ago. At that time, Cai Qi was a porter in another class. Every time he had nothing to do after work, he would gather with Laohua and others at the edge of the pier to play. The card game called "Sea Beast Hunt" is essentially a form of gambling.

At that time, Laohua and others set up a trap to deceive Cai Qi, causing him to lose all his savings for several years.

However, Laohua and others did not stop because of this, and Cai Qi, who wanted to make money through gambling, fell deeper and deeper. As a result, his son who was supposed to go to college entered the society early because of the huge sum of money he owed, and worked to pay off his debts.

But Cai Qi was still dreaming of making money, and eventually his wife and children separated, and he still owed gambling debts that he could never repay in his life.

Until one day, Cai Qi overheard that Laohua and others were cheating on the card game. He had nothing but the idea of ​​revenge.

The opportunity came a week ago.

Laohua bought a fishing boat and recruited employees to go fishing. Most of the members who had been recruited were the same people who had followed Laohua to frame him.

Cai Qi has good cooking skills and wants to join Laohua's fishing team as a chef.

The application process went smoothly, and in his presbyopic eyes, he still owed him a lot of money, which was equivalent to recruiting a chef for free.

Before the fishing boat went to sea, Cai Qi began to prepare a plan to kill Laohua.

For this reason, Cai Qi consulted a lot of information on the Internet, and finally decided to kill everyone on the fishing boat through the uncontrolled drug "antinolin".

Originally, Cai Qi planned to die with Laohua and others, but in the end he was afraid and found that he could not face death calmly, so he did not eat the poisonous meal he made and used the automatic return function on the fishing boat to return.

Through Cai Qi's narration, Ji Xiu understood the whole story of the poisoning, and the case could basically be finalized.

But he always felt something was wrong.

On the way to the interrogation room, he checked "Cardioxin" and found that the toxicity of this non-controlled drug is very weak. To poison people to the extent, 30 ml is needed. The total dose required to poison 12 people is It can be drunk as a drink, but if it is diluted in soup, it will be more difficult to kill people.

With doubts, Ji Xiu turned to look at the law enforcement officers standing behind him:

"Go check his shopping history and see how many doses of anartin he purchased."

"it is good."

The law enforcement officers who were cooperating with his investigation left immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, the investigator arrived with the shopping record sheet.

Ji Xiu reached out and took the order, and was surprised to find that Cai Qi had only purchased 50 ml of antalin.

It is possible to poison one person with this little bit of anthocyanin, but it is absolutely impossible to poison 12 people.

Apparently Cai Qi misunderstood the information found on the Internet and thought that 30 ml could poison people. He bought 50 ml just to be safe, but he did not think about the dilution of the food and the number of people.

This dose cannot kill 12 people at all.

So there may be another hidden story behind this case.

With doubts, Ji Xiu looked at Cai Qi and asked in a deep voice:
  "Cai Qi, how many doses of antelanthin did you buy?"

"50 ml." Cai Qi lowered his head and replied with a depressed look.

"50 ml can't poison 12 people at all. Did you buy antalcin from other channels?"

After hearing these words, Cai Qi raised his head in astonishment:

"What?! This dose can't kill anyone."

Observing Cai Qi's instant micro-expression changes, Ji Xiu found that he didn't seem to be lying. He really thought that it was the 50 ml of heart flowers that killed everyone on the fishing boat.
