Chapter 19 Breakthrough

Cai Qi's surprise made the case complicated.

There were new doubts in the case that should have been concluded. Ji Xiu then obtained Cai Qi's bank card transaction records and online chat records.

It can be basically concluded that Cai Qi indeed only purchased a 50 ml dose of anartin.

But the problem is that this dose cannot kill the 12 presbyopic patients at all.

There must be other unknown factors involved, which led to the poisoning and death of Laohua and others.

Facing his inquiry, Cai Qi was still in a depressed state and could not give any useful clues.

But except for Cai Qi, everyone else on the fishing boat has been poisoned, and the case has reached a bottleneck and can no longer be pursued.

Faced with a clueless case, Ji Xiu did not give up. As an amateur mystery novelist in his previous life, he did not believe in a perfect crime, so he followed law enforcement officers to the forensic office for questioning.

An in-depth autopsy is ongoing and no other clues can be provided at this time.

That night, Laohua's son learned the news and came to the Law Enforcement Department from Starlight City.

Lao Hua's son was named Hua Xinglong, and he was in the decoration business in Starlight City. When Ji Xiu saw him, he was squatting on the aisle of the Law Enforcement Department with a despairing expression, obviously unable to believe that his father was gone.

"Uncle Li, why did my dad leave?"

Seeing Ji Xiu, Hua Xinglong stood up on his own initiative, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"The case is under investigation. You should go back and rest first. The body cannot be taken back for the time being."

Although he didn't know Hua Xinglong, Ji Xiu could guess that Hua Xinglong's son must be very familiar with Li Tan, so he used the tone of an elder to persuade and comfort him.

"Uncle Li, who wants to harm him?" Hua Xinglong had a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"I'll let you know when there are results. Go back."

It took a while to persuade Hua Xinglong, who was almost emotionally broken, to go home. Ji Xiu sat alone in the conference room of the Law Enforcement Department and looked through the information.

This part of the information was provided by the Law Enforcement Department. Now he needs to sort out Laohua's daily interpersonal relationships.

Since the dose purchased by Cai Qi was not enough to cause death, the breakthrough had to be found in Laohua's interpersonal relationships, especially Laohua's enemies.

The content recorded in the information made Ji Xiu understand why Laohua took such good care of Li Tan.

It turns out that Li Tan's parents were Laohua's benefactors. When Laohua was in poverty, it was Li Tan's parents who helped Laohua and introduced her to jobs. Even the marriage partner was introduced by Li Tan's parents.

Therefore, Laohua's care for Li Tan is actually a kind of repayment.

Ji Xiu really has a headache about Laohua's interpersonal network.

It can be seen from the description in the information that Laohua will do anything to make money, and she will do anything to cheat and kidnap her. She was able to become the monitor of Pier 3 because of poaching.

So Laohua has many enemies.

There are more than a dozen civil disputes recorded in the Department of Law Enforcement alone, involving dozens of people.

If you want to know more about whether they may have committed a crime, you have to visit and investigate.

Ji Xiu selected two people from the information and prepared to investigate them.

The first person is named Tan Gang. He was the squad leader of Pier 3 and had dozens of unloading workers at the pier. At that time, he and Laohua had a big conflict due to an interest dispute. Both of them were imprisoned because of this. In the end, Laohua Stealing Tan Gang's business and the workers who used to follow Tan Gang.

The conflict between the two is irresolvable.

The second person is named Wen Jinlong. He worked with Laohua for a period of time. In the end, like Cai Qi, Laohua defrauded him of all his family property through pranksters. He always held a grudge against Laohua. He once attacked Laohua with a knife. He ended up in jail for three years and was released the year before last.

He also had a motive for committing the crime against Laohua.

Of course, it is not ruled out that other people on the fishing boat may have enemies with outsiders, and Laohua is just the implicated victim.

The workload of investigation is huge.

After looking through the information until the next morning, Ji Xiu applied for the cooperation of the Law Enforcement Department and sent personnel to investigate the two people he selected first.

At noon that day, the two law enforcement officers who went to investigate returned and provided the trajectory of their recent movements.

Among them, Tan Gang went to live in Starlight City five years ago and has never returned to Wuhai City. He has never even paid attention to Laohua's current situation. Now he has a happy family and his two sons are very successful. There is no need at all. Risking beheading to commit a crime.

Although another Wen Jinlong sneaked into Lao Hua and was imprisoned for three years for attempted murder, his three years in prison seemed to have made him let go of his hatred. Now he works in an Originium field in District D of Wuhai, where all his co-workers can It proved that Wen Jinlong had not left the Origin Stone Field this month.

Therefore, the suspicions of Tan Gang and Wen Jinlong can be ruled out.

Ji Xiu had no choice but to ask the two investigators who had just returned to visit and investigate the suspects on his list. Many of them were workers under Laohua. The wages that Laohua owed them had not been settled, which caused a lot of trouble. contradiction.

During this period, he got new news.

Concentrated antelanthin was detected in the vegetables in the No. 4 freezer on the fishing boat.

Concentrated anthocyanin is a controlled agent and will not be sold to the outside world. It only takes 0.01 mg to cause death. Ji Xiu immediately realized that these vegetables were the cause of the poisoning and death of Laohua and others.

With doubts, he immediately went to the interrogation room to ask Cai Qi whether he knew that the vegetables in the No. 4 freezer were contaminated with concentrated cartilin.

After yesterday's interrogation, Cai Qi seemed to have given up hope of living. He sat on the interrogation chair with a haggard expression, his head lowered and his eyes dull. Facing Ji Xiu's questioning, he was completely unable to cooperate.

In this regard, Ji Xiu could only choose to attack his heart.

Looking through Cai Qi's information placed on the interrogation table, Ji Xiu looked up at Cai Qi:
  "Cai Qi, you must feel that your life is ruined, but do you still remember that there is an old mother waiting for you to come home?" Hearing the word mother, a touch of clarity appeared in Cai Qi's dim eyes, and he slowly Looked up:

"my mother?"

"Cai Qi, although you intentionally wanted to kill Hua Liwei and others, the dose of poison you administered could not kill them at all. Therefore, the crime is not death, at most it is attempted murder. The minimum is three years, and the maximum is lifeless. Maybe you can still survive in your lifetime. Go out and see your old mother... You don’t want your old mother to be unable to see you for the last time until she dies, right?"

This sentence was extremely lethal. Cai Qi's lips trembled and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

"What you have to do now is to fully cooperate with the investigation of our law enforcement department. As long as the real culprit can be found, you will be able to get a reduced sentence. After you are released from prison, you can go home and honor your old mother. At least you must die in her old home. Let’s meet again before.”

This time, Cai Qi couldn't hold it any longer, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes:

"I...I will cooperate fully and I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing that Cai Qi was finally willing to cooperate, Ji Xiu immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked:

"Cai Qi, who purchases the vegetables on the fishing boat?"

"Laohua personally purchases everything."

"Besides you, who else has touched this batch of vegetables, or did you have anyone to help you when cooking?"

"I'm usually the only one in the kitchen on the fishing boat, and no one helps me when cooking. No one should have touched this batch of vegetables." After sniffing, Cai Qi wiped away his tears and answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Ji Xiu picked up a pen and briefly recorded what Cai Qi said on paper, and then looked up at Cai Qi again:

"Who was responsible for transporting this batch of vegetables to the fishing boat at that time?"

"In order to save money, Laohua and I were responsible for transporting it to the fishing boat... By the way, I remember that Laohua's son also came to help."

When Ji Xiu heard about it, he immediately recorded the clue on paper.

"Besides the three of you, who else may have come into contact with this batch of vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Cai Qi pondered for a long time and then shook his head:

"There's no one else."

After leaving the interrogation room, Ji Xiu immediately asked law enforcement officers to cooperate in the investigation, starting from the source of the vegetables.

That afternoon, Ji Xiu got the results of the investigation.

Laohua is a vegetable ordered one day in advance. This batch of vegetables is placed in cold storage No. 1-4 of the fishing boat. However, only the vegetables in cold storage No. have concentrated cardioanthin residues. This proves that the vegetables are in transit or There was a problem only after it was loaded onto the fishing boat.

Ji Xiu immediately changed his target and started investigating Laohua's son Hua Xinglong.

The information obtained as a result surprised Ji Xiu. Hua Xinglong's new wife turned out to be an A-level pharmacist, and she was fully capable of providing Hua Xinglong's concentrated heart flower extract.

This discovery heightened Hua Xinglong’s suspicion.

Ji Xiu retrieved Hua Xinglong's bank card transfer records for this purpose.

The results obtained allowed Ji Xiu to find a clear direction.

He discovered that Hua Xinglong’s bank card had transferred money to “Sea Beast Gaming Company” many times.

The main business of this company is online fish racing, fighting fish, and other types of gambling games.

Hua Xinglong’s bank card has transferred money to this gaming company many times, dating back to 7 years ago.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu could basically come up with a conclusion.

Laohua's son Hua Xinglong is a senior gambler and has invested a lot of money in gambling over the years.

Thinking along this direction, Ji Xiu suddenly realized something.

He never thought about a question, why did Laohua become the killer of the Black Hole Organization, and why did he work so hard to make money.

Li Tan chose to become a killer because his daughter was ill and he was unable to pay for the treatment even though he had spent all his family property. He was completely desperate and had no choice but to become a killer.

Then why did Laohua take this path?

It stands to reason that Laohua has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and there is no need to take risks in the beheading business.

But after looking at Hua Xinglong’s bank card history, everything was straightened out.

Because he has a gambling son, no matter how much money Laohua invests, he can't fill the hole.

The bank card transaction records showed that Hua Xinglong transferred 10 yuan to the Sea Beast Gaming Company a week ago, and another 250 million yuan was transferred half a day later. However, the money was not subsequently transferred back, so it is likely that the gambling son lost it all again.

Following this clue, Ji Xiu immediately retrieved Hua Xinglong's loan and loan records.

The conclusion reached turned the case around.

Hua Xinglong borrowed 250 million from Shuguang Bank in the form of a mortgage loan a week ago.

The money was apparently used for gambling.

After learning this, Ji Xiu made up a complete timeline of the crime.
