Ye Haoran said that he was at the University of California and asked Susan to pick him up. Soon the roar of a motorcycle sounded, and then Susan rode her high-horsepower motorcycle into the campus.
Ye Haoran carried his bag, sat on the back seat of the motorcycle, and said depressedly: "I just came back today, and I have to work non-stop. It's really hard."
Susan rolled her eyes, "You are the one with the easiest job in our FBI police department. Well, I should have treated you to a meal, because I have heard what Jim said about what happened in New York." The matter has come to an end, so I can calm your nerves and catch the wind, but this case is really urgent, so I have to take you to the scene as soon as possible."
"Oh, what case." Ye Haoran asked strangely.
Susan drove Ye Haoran towards the South Coast Botanical Garden in the south of Los Angeles on her motorcycle. While driving at high speed, Susan explained: "It's like this. The case is a homicide, and it's a suicide case of a company employee. It's nothing. It’s just that in the past three days, six suicide cases have occurred. If the investigation results are not obtained as soon as possible, I am afraid that a seventh person will commit suicide.”
Ye Haoran frowned, "Then, it shouldn't be a suicide case, it's probably a clever murder."
"We all think so, but no matter which angle you look at, we can be 100% sure that these deceased people did commit suicide, and before they died, some would leave suicide notes, and some would call their relatives. Both the suicide note and the phone call revealed that he wanted to commit suicide, so we suspect that there is something wrong with this company. It is possible that excessive performance pressure led to the death of these employees, because from other aspects, there is no way to contact these six employees anyway. "Get up, that is to say, if it is a murder, there is no motive at all." Susan explained while driving that her car was a police car, and she did not have to obey traffic rules at all along the way, and it was very fast and could go up to 100 kilometers. Twenty kilometers per hour, so the car soon stopped in front of a company building in the South Coast Botanical Garden.
Ye Haoran raised his head and looked up. Under the night, a few words shone brightly. It said Hongyan International Cosmetics Company. When he saw the name of the company, Ye Haoran was stunned. He suddenly remembered that Lin Zhi seemed to be the director of this company. Long.
"Why, you also know this company." Susan looked at Ye Haoran strangely, and then laughed, "I thought you didn't care about cosmetics. I feel quite comfortable using the cosmetics from this company. I heard It is pure plant extraction, and it uses the traditional medical theory from your Chinese country. It sounds quite high-end anyway, but the sales of this cosmetic in Los Angeles can only be considered average. I prefer this brand."
Ye Haoran nodded, "No wonder your skin is so good. It turns out that you use this company's products. Hey, you can become an endorsement for this company in the future. I think it will definitely work."
Susan rolled her eyes at Ye Haoran and said, "Come in quickly. By the way, do you know this company too?"
"Yes." Ye Haoran walked into the company. A cordon had been set up at the entrance of the company. Ye Haoran crossed the cordon and said, "I know the boss of this company. She is Lin Zhi. Oh, I met her in New York. The heroine of those things.”
"That's it." Susan curled her lips and said a little unhappily: "I heard that the boss of this company is a very beautiful widow. There won't be... anything between you."
Ye Haoran laughed and said nothing. When he got inside, two FBI police officers came out and greeted Susan, "Head, the forensic doctor came, but he still shook his head and said that nothing was found. The deceased died in the company before she committed suicide. , I once used all my savings to buy a piano for my son from the Internet, and the message on the piano said that I hope my child can study hard and not be engaged in the sales industry in the future. It is best to realize his dream and become a salesperson. pianist."
Susan frowned and turned to look at Ye Haoran.
Ye Haoran said: "I'll go in and take a look first."
Entering the scene, a woman was lying in the dressing room, with a dagger stuck in her heart, and thick blood dripping all over the floor. The woman's eyes were open, and she ended her life in a very tragic way. The forensic doctor on the side was an old man. The old man was carefully examining every wound and every inch of the injured person's body.
"How is it?" Ye Haoran asked.
The forensic doctor sighed, "It seems that it was really suicide. Like the previous five deceased, they all died of heart rupture. These six people all chose to commit suicide by puncturing the heart. This does not make sense."
"Well, why." Ye Haoran asked.
"Heart puncture is a very unwise way to commit suicide, because the degree of pain is very high. At the moment of heart puncture, there is pain, blood gushing, heart contraction and a sense of weakness and trance. The key is that the brain does not If they die immediately, they will feel the entire pain process until death." The forensic doctor shook his gray hair, "Moreover, since the six deceased committed suicide, why did they choose the same suicide method."
Ye Haoran frowned, "Then you mean... this is not a suicide case."
"No, I didn't say that. I'm just a little confused. But from the autopsy, the analysis of the deceased's behavior before death, and the investigation of the scene, it can be proved without a doubt that these people committed suicide." The forensic doctor. said.
Ye Haoran said "Thank you." He knew the identity of this old forensic doctor. Although this old man was just a forensic doctor, he was the most expensive forensic doctor in Los Angeles because this old man had retired and he no longer worked in this industry. If a murder case occurs and the police station is really unable to solve the case, it will hire him, but hiring him is very expensive. It is said that it costs 10,000 US dollars at a time.
Ye Haoran reached out and touched the body. The body was already cold. He looked at the wounds and complexion of the deceased, and then stood up. Ye Haoran naturally did not understand forensic anatomy, so he could not judge the case from the body. nature, but Ye Haoran is a police officer, not a forensic doctor. He can only judge these cases based on his own intuition. Just like the old forensic doctor said, although the entire case is a suicide case, there seems to be no doubt about it. But why did the six deceased people choose to kill themselves by stabbing their hearts?
After walking out of the scene, Susan came over and said, "Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Haoran thought for a while and said: "I can't draw a conclusion yet, but I always feel that this case is very strange and should not be a simple suicide case. Oh, by the way, let's talk to the company's employees and the boss. "
Susan nodded, then glanced at Ye Haoran, "Hey, Ye, why don't you go talk to the boss? I won't follow you. Anyway, you are old acquaintances, so it's easier to talk."
Ye Haoran was speechless, reaching out and patting Susan on the head, "What are you thinking about? Let's go."
When the other police officers saw Ye Haoran's actions, they all said "Wow". Everyone was very optimistic about this pairing. Susan blushed and walked into Hongyan International Company with Ye Haoran.
There was already a waitress waiting there in the company. She bowed to Susan and Ye Haoran and said, "Hello you two, our boss is already waiting for you two."
"Okay, I don't need you to lead the way. I've been here four times and I'm familiar with the road." Susan said.
After hearing this, the waiter smiled nervously and awkwardly. The smile was very forced, and he was obviously worried. Ye Haoran frowned and looked at the waiter, "Are you afraid, why?"
"I...No, I'm not afraid. Mr. Agent, the boss is very kind to us, so I'm not afraid." The waitress quickly defended.
Ye Haoran was surprised and stared at the waiter, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry, we will keep the secret for you. Moreover, we are police officers and we need the cooperation of you fellow employees to investigate the real cause of their death. "
The waiter hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Agent, I... no, many employees in our company feel that our company has been cursed, so employees are dying one after another. I... I I am planning to resign, so, um, you two should go and have a chat with Mr. Lin."
Ye Haoran and Susan looked at each other, and then they realized that the problem for Hongyan International Company was already very serious. The two of them entered the office. In the office, Lin Zhi was wearing an off-white short skirt and sitting on the sofa. Go up, looking at a piece of information in front of you in trance.
"Dong dong dong..." Susan knocked on the door.
Lin Zhi heard the voice and raised her head. At that moment, Susan suddenly became jealous. She had only heard that the boss of Hongyan International was a very beautiful widow, but when she actually met her, Susan discovered that this Lin Zhi was more beautiful than she had imagined. Even more beautiful. If he were a man, he probably wouldn't be able to refuse the charm of this woman. Ye Haoran spent two tense days with this woman in New York. Ye Haoran must have a good impression of her.
Lin Zhi was surprised when she saw Ye Haoran entering the door, and then smiled slightly, "You are actually responsible for this case."
Ye Haoran shook his head, pointed to Susan beside him and said: "This is my partner, Susan. Susan is the main person in charge of this case."
Susan stretched out her hand towards Lin Zhi and said: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time, and I have the honor to meet you today. The case of your company was transferred from the ordinary criminal investigation department to our violent crime team, mainly because it took three days. Five murders, no, counting the one just now, there are already six murders, which have caused quite a stir in Los Angeles. Two days ago, your phone was turned off and we couldn't find your person. We just chatted with your subordinates. , I saw you today, we need to reorganize the case, and I hope you can cooperate, Mr. Lin."
Lin Zhi nodded calmly, "Officer Susan, you're welcome. Please sit down and I'll pour you a glass of water." Lin Zhi stood up and poured a glass of water for the two of them in a familiar manner.
"Mr. Lin, tell us about these employees, and tell us what you think." Susan opened the notepad she carried with her and said,
