Xiao Lou walked over quickly and looked at the crime scene through the gap in the crowd - Uncle Zhong's death was obviously caused by poisoning. Judging from the time of death and the condition of the body, the poison that killed Uncle Zhong this time should be the most effective.
Quickly poisonous items.
□□ are controlled drugs, which are difficult for ordinary people to buy, and a few grams are enough to cause death.
Uncle Zhong was sitting at table No. 1. There were a total of 7 people eating at the same table with him, including nephew He Rong, Song Dongping, Song Xiaoqing, brother and sister, and five famous local bosses. During the meal just now, Xiao Lou was paying attention
Looking at the situation at this table, everyone uses the same tableware in the hotel and eats the same food. If the food is poisoned, other people will also be infected.
The only possibility for Uncle Zhong's death was to poison the tea or wine glass he drank alone.
Uncle Zhong's tea was poured by a waitress. She took a hot water bottle and poured water for everyone at the table. She couldn't poison Uncle Zhong alone. The most likely thing was red wine. I gave Uncle Zhong a lot just now.
Toast, some people brought their own wine. If it was poisoned, Uncle Zhong would easily die in a short time if he drank the poisoned wine.
Xiao Lou whispered to Yu Hanjiang, "The murderer put poison in the red wine bottle. It only killed Uncle Zhong. It was probably the red wine brought by the last few toasters who poisoned it. The murderer probably didn't have time to leave."
on site."
Uncle Zhong just fell, and the murderer used poison to kill people. He would definitely confirm that Uncle Zhong was dead before leaving.
With his police officer ID card in his shirt pocket, Yu Hanjiang can now use his identity as a police officer to go directly to investigate. According to Xiao Lou's inference, the beer-bellied "Mr. Zhang" who toasted to Uncle Zhong in the end is highly suspicious, but thinking about it makes him suspicious.
I know that the poison was definitely not planted by Mr. Zhang.
Yu Hanjiang frowned, and his sharp eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
Suddenly, he found a waiter about 1.7 meters tall in the corner of the hall and walked into the side door with a plate. The figure from the back looked familiar, which reminded Yu Hanjiang of the dark night when he first entered the secret room and when he was shot in the abdomen.
The figure who jumped out of the window and fled.
Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and said in Xiao Lou's ear, "Find Xiaoye and Lao Mo and wait for me at the coffee shop opposite the hotel."
After he said that, he turned around and chased after him with quick strides.
Xiao Lou was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, Yu Hanjiang's back had disappeared from the side door of the hall. He quickly realized that Team Yu had probably identified the suspect.
Xiao Lou's physical strength is not as good as Yu Hanjiang's. He will definitely not be able to keep up if he chases him now. When the police come later, he, a "fake" waiter, might arouse police suspicion. Xiao Lou thought for a while, and took advantage of the chaos to leave the hotel through the back door.
Change into your own clothes in the bathroom.
He left the drone in an inconspicuous corner of the birthday banquet hall so that he could observe the police investigation process later.
The police car and ambulance arrived together. After the doctors and nurses got off the car, they examined Zhong Yongqiang's body on the spot. Uncle Zhong had missed the best rescue time and his pupils were dilated.
Upon hearing the news of Uncle Zhong's death, many guests at the scene gasped.
The local police quickly sealed off the scene and investigated the guests attending today's birthday banquet one by one. The forensic doctor accompanying the team quickly came to the conclusion that the person most likely to be poisoned was the glass of wine that Uncle Zhong drank.
.
The red wine was taken back for examination as evidence.
Mr. Zhang, who was the last to toast Uncle Zhong, was so frightened that his legs trembled and he shook his head like a rattle. He stammered and explained, "No, no, it wasn't me. I have no grievances against Mr. Zhong. How could I possibly
Poison in the wine?!"
The policeman asked solemnly, "Where did you get this glass of red wine?"
Mr. Zhang said, "There is a row of red wine on the counter over there. I just picked up a bottle..."
The policeman walked over and took a look. Sure enough, there was a row of red wine on the counter. All the bottles were exactly the same. Mr. Zhang couldn’t tell which bottle he just picked up. The policeman asked, “When you picked up that bottle of wine, what bottle was there?”
Has the lid been opened?”
Mr. Zhang said, "It seems to be open."
The policeman asked "Where's the cup?"
Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said, "I asked the waiter for an empty wine glass."
The police then approached the hotel manager and asked, "Who is responsible for the drinks at this birthday party?"
The manager said innocently, "Mr. He brought all the drinks to us in advance, and they were not purchased by our hotel."
The policeman asked "Where are the cups and cutlery?"
The manager hurriedly explained, "These were prepared by our hotel in advance and were disinfected this morning. I guarantee that there will be no problem when the tableware is put on the table! Comrade police, our hotel has no grudge against Mr. Zhong. Please don't doubt us."
On top of us!"
Xiao Lou looked at the scene through the drone surveillance, and his brows could not help but wrinkle more and more tightly.
Judging from the results of the police evidence collection, the poison was in the last glass of red wine that Mr. Zhong drank. Mr. Zhang said that he took a bottle of red wine and asked the waiter for an empty wine glass to fill half of it for a toast. The guests at the scene took the red wine.
The randomness is too great. If the murderer poisons the wine in advance, he may poison the wrong person. If you want to poison Mr. Zhong accurately, the best way is to poison Mr. Zhong’s wine glass.
Sitting at table No. 1 was Mr. Zhong and the most distinguished person in the room. It would be too easy to attract attention by changing the wine glass for Mr. Zhong. Therefore, the murderer chose Mr. Zhang who was planning to toast Mr. Zhong and wiped the wine glass in Mr. Zhang’s hand.
Loaded with toxins.
The person who has the easiest access to the wine glass is of course the waiter.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou pretended to be waiters and entered the birthday banquet venue to investigate. Apparently, the killer also pretended to be a waiter and brought the highly toxic poison into the scene. He only needed to apply the poison in advance on the white cloth used to wipe the wine glasses and take advantage of the situation.
Before taking the wine glass, just wipe it lightly with a white cloth.
The local police quickly deduced this result and asked Mr. Zhang to identify the waiter at the scene and who handed him the wine glass.
Mr. Zhang looked around and scratched his head in confusion, "The waiter was dressed the same, I really can't remember clearly... I only remember that he was a young man with short hair, about 1.7 meters tall, about the same as me.
."
The hotel's waiters were uniformly dressed, and it was too difficult for a boss to clearly remember the appearance of the waiters. The police had no choice but to take the waiters back to continue the investigation, and also asked the hotel to obtain surveillance cameras in the corridor outside the banquet hall.
He Rong walked away with the police with a pale face, and his uncle's body was sent back to confirm the cause of death.
Xiao Lou put away the drone and turned around to the coffee shop opposite the hotel.
The person who poisoned Uncle Zhong must have been a killer sent by the organization, just borrowing the help of Mr. Zhang. The waiter had already left the hotel. When the police investigated, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. They could only hope to chase Yu Hanjiang out as soon as possible.
There were not many customers in the cafe in the afternoon, so Xiao Lou found a seat with a wide view, sat by the window, and ordered a cup of coffee.
The coffee was quickly served on the table. Xiao Lou was in a state of confusion. He was worried that something would happen if Yu Hanjiang caught up with him alone. However, his physical fitness and speed were far inferior to Yu Hanjiang's. If he followed Yu Hanjiang at this time, Yu Hanjiang would have to concentrate on taking care of him.
, maybe he will become the other party's dragnet.
Captain Yu often tracks criminals in real life and has rich experience. Even if he encounters danger, he should be able to escape, right?
Xiao Lou comforted himself with this reason.
After drinking hot coffee, he calmed down a lot. He simply contacted Mo Xuemin first, "Old Mo, where are you and Ye Qi?"
In order to enter the maze-like Tianya Club to investigate in the early morning, Xiao Lou and Lao Mo temporarily connected to the "Heart to Heart" channel and asked Lao Mo to guide the way. Qin Guanpai's "Heart to Heart" is refreshed and cooled down at 24 o'clock every morning.
, the target can be changed after refreshing. Once connected, it cannot be changed again within 24 hours.
He and Lao Mo were connected by heart at this time, so it was the fastest way to directly use the spiritual channel to find Lao Mo.
However, what surprised Xiao Lou was that there was no response from Lao Mo in the spiritual world.
Xiao Lou was stunned and continued to call Mo Xuemin, "Old Mo? Can you hear me?"
There is no mental fluctuation in my mind, just like a calm and windless lake without any ripples.
Xiao Lou noticed something was wrong and immediately sat up straight nervously. He took out his cell phone and called Lao Mo. A friendly female voice came to his ear, "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached at the moment."
He then called Ye Qi and the same message came back, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
Strong uneasiness enveloped his heart, like a ball of flame, burning Xiao Lou as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He stood up and looked out the window.
The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was clear and cloudless, and people were coming and going on the street, but there was no trace of Ye Qi or Lao Mo at all.
Xiao Lou really wanted to contact Yu Hanjiang, but he knew that Yu Hanjiang was tracking the suspect, and calling him might affect Yu Hanjiang's actions. Lao Mo and Ye Qi had so many cards in hand, it would not be easy for anything to happen. Besides, his
On the contract, Lao Mo and Xiaoye's signatures were still printed on it.
The signature is still there, proving that the person is still alive.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, calmed down quickly, and called Shao Qingge.
Shao Qingge has been in poor health these days, probably due to the surgery, and he gets tired very easily. He had just woken up and was having lunch when his cell phone suddenly rang. The woman across the table asked with concern, "Whose phone is it?"
Shao Qingge glanced at the caller ID, smiled slightly and said, "Mom, you eat first, I'll answer a call from a friend." He picked up the phone and turned to the balcony, closed the door, then pressed the answer button and whispered
"What's wrong, Professor Xiao?"
On the phone, Xiao Lou's usually calm and gentle voice rarely revealed a trace of anxiety, and the end of his voice even trembled slightly, "Mr. Shao, can you contact Xiaoye?"
Shao Qingge was stunned and tried to contact Ye Qi with a clear heart.
There was no response in my mind.
His eyes suddenly darkened and he said, "I can't be contacted. How could this happen?"
Xiao Lou then asked, "Have you established a connection with Ye Qi after your mind refreshed at twelve o'clock in the morning?"
"It has been established. He told me last night that the four of you visited the Tianya Club at night and found a secret passage behind the mirror on the third floor of the club. Inside is a warehouse with many weapons hidden." Shao Qingge was silent for a few seconds.
, his face gradually became ugly, "Ye Qi went to bed around two o'clock last night, and I also went to bed at two o'clock. I didn't get up until noon, and then I received your call."
"In other words, you haven't contacted him today?" Xiao Lou held his breath nervously.
"Yes, I just woke up not long ago and haven't had time to contact him yet." Shao Qingge squeezed the phone tightly, "Did something happen to Xiaoye? Why can't I contact him?"
"I can't contact Lao Mo and Xiao Ye either. The phone calls can't go through, and there's no response from Telepathy." Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Once Telepathy establishes a communication channel, the two connected people can communicate directly mentally. But in one situation
If it is lowered, it will lose its effect."
"What happened?" Shao Qingge already guessed the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it.
"The other party has lost consciousness." Xiao Lou grasped the edge of the table with his fingers. The blood vessels on the back of his fair hand were clearly visible. He suppressed his anger and said word by word, "If you can't contact them because of your telepathy, it means that the old man can't contact them."
Mo and Ye Qi were unconscious at the same time, and they had no time to resist before they fell unconscious, nor did they give any warning to their teammates. The two of them were investigating in Qingshui Town for the past two days, and they probably attracted the attention of those people, and were knocked unconscious and taken away."
"..." Thinking of the scene of 60-year-old Lao Mo and 7-year-old Xiao Yeqi being knocked unconscious and taken away, Shao Qingge felt a stab of pain in his heart. His heart had just undergone surgery.
Hearing this result, he was so angry that he almost had another heart attack. Shao Qingge pressed hard on his heart, frowned and said, "I'll come to Qingshui Town right away."
"No need." Xiao Lou noticed that Shao Qingge's voice had changed and said hurriedly, "You have just finished the operation. Don't be too emotional. You can rest at home first and continue to contact Xiaoye using 'Heart to Heart'. Once there is a reaction, he will immediately
Tell me. I will wait for Captain Yu to come back and then find a way to rescue them. I think we may have reached the organization's base camp, and Xiaoye and Lao Mo should not have gone far yet."
"Okay." Shao Qingge rubbed his forehead helplessly. In his current body, when he is emotionally excited, his heart will ache. If he has another heart attack halfway, wouldn't it cause trouble for his teammates? It is better to stay at home.
.
"Besides, Uncle Zhong died just now." Xiao Lou said softly.
"What?!" Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did he be silenced again?"
"Hmm. I suspect that our movements have been watched by the organization for a long time, so they will always be one step ahead of us and silence our important witnesses. First it was Cheng Shaofeng, then Uncle Zhong, and the next one might be He Rong...
…”
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou felt a chill running down his spine.
There was a pair of eyes that had been watching them secretly. Whenever they found an important clue, they would cut it off. Liu Qiao went to follow Cheng Shaofeng, but Cheng Shaofeng had a car accident; he and Yu Hanjiang went to Uncle Zhong's birthday banquet, but the birthday banquet turned into a car accident.
funeral.
When did Xiaoye and Lao Mo show their flaws and were kidnapped at the same time?
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more headache he got, but he couldn't mess up his position. Team Yu was still tracking the suspect, so he had to stabilize his teammates and wait for Yu Hanjiang to come back before discussing countermeasures. After all, Yu Hanjiang would be able to handle the situation of "missing teammates" more easily.
Have experience.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou quickly calmed down and said to Shao Qingge, "Mr. Shao, please contact Long Sen and Qu Wanyue to ask them not to go out today. Captain Yu and I went to find Xiaoye and Lao Mo, and we kept in touch with our mobile phones at all times.
"
Shao Qingge nodded, "Okay, I'll find Qu Wanyue and tell them to be careful."
After putting down his phone, Xiao Lou sat back down and drank a cup of coffee to keep himself calm.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Yu Hanjiang had not appeared yet.
Seeing that half an hour had passed, Xiao Lou worriedly sent a message to Yu Hanjiang, "How is the situation over there?"
Yu Hanjiang did not reply.
Xiao Lou waited for a few more minutes, but there was still no reply. He had no choice but to call Yu Hanjiang. A gentle female voice came to his ears, "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
Shut down?! Did something happen to Captain Yu too?
You can't wait any longer. If you wait one more minute, your teammates will be in more danger!
Xiao Lou's face turned pale, he stood up and left the coffee shop, quickly walking towards the hotel where he stayed last night.
However, as soon as he walked around the corner of the street, his neck suddenly felt numb, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. Then, a strong feeling of dizziness hit his mind. Before he fell, Xiao Lou saw a pair of black
The shiny men's leather shoes stopped in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, he completely lost consciousness.
