Liu Feng scolded, "Take another good look!"

The vendor was unhappy and muttered, "How else can I look? You buy and I sell, who cares what they look like? How can I recognize them? You all buy things, go to the mall and ask the waiters who recognize you."

This made sense.

But Li Ke and Li Ji were also disappointed. If they couldn't help Hou Zian's case, their stay would be in vain.

The two looked at each other and looked at Liu Feng together.

Liu Feng was also helpless. He packed up the things on his hands and just about to stand up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Seeing that it was Xie Qing, he winked at Li Ke.

Li Ke came out in a hurry and asked expectantly, "Qingqing, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Qing said, "He definitely doesn't want to admit that he sold the rat poison that killed people, so even if he knew him, he wouldn't want to admit it."

"Yeah, I think so too." Li Ke grabbed Xie Qing's arm, "Then what should we do?"

Xie Qing patted her, "You scare him again, we have already locked on the target suspect. If it is confirmed that the suspect bought the rat poison from him, he will be suspected of being an accomplice, and then he will be finished."

Li Ke said, "What if he still can't recognize it?"

Xie Qing said, "If the murderer intends to kill someone, he won't dare to buy the poison openly. He will probably wear a hat or cover his lips. You can try to cover the photo up and down and then let him recognize it."

"Good idea!" Li Ke cheered up, walked in with his head held high, and whispered something in Liu Feng's ear.

Liu Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

Li Ke walked up to the peddler and said, "My colleague just told me that they have already identified the suspect. Once it is confirmed that he bought the drugs from you..."

The peddler shouted, "What's wrong with him buying them from me? I didn't force him to sell them, and I didn't ask him to kill people. Don't try to scare me."

"Bang!" Li Ji slapped the table at the right time, "Speak nicely to me!"

The peddler was startled and wilted again, "Just speak nicely, why are you arguing?"

Li Ke said, "I warn you, if you don't recognize the person, once the murderer bites you first in order to reduce the sentence, you will be suspected of being an accomplice, and you can't clear yourself even if you jump into the Yellow River."

The peddler was frightened and blinked his eyes, "Then let me take another look. Oh, I said this little girl, it's not that I don't recognize her, it's that I can't recognize her, my memory is not good..."

Li Ke put several photos together and used an A4 paper to cover the upper half of the photo, but the peddler still couldn't recognize her.

So, she covered her chin with the photo again...

"Oh!" The peddler slapped his thigh, "I have an impression of this face when it's covered, it seems to be him."

He pulled out the photo of Pi Yan.

Li Ke said, "Don't be suspicious. Is it really him?"

The vendor covered his nose with his hand. "I think it was him. It was at the Shitouzhen market. It was windy and dusty in the afternoon. He turned up his collar, covering half of his face. I remember he was wearing a fashionable navy blue jacket, which was better than the clothes of the people at the market. He looked like a city dweller, so I looked at him a few more times."

Li Ke was satisfied. He took the transcript from Li Ji and asked the vendor to sign it.

The vendor was taken away.

Liu Feng praised: "These two questions are well asked, the momentum is there, the words are on point, and the performance is good!"

Li Ke said happily: "Thank you, Master, I will continue to work hard."

Liu Feng went out and nodded to Xie Qing, "The brains of top students are active."

Xie Qing said: "Brother Liu, you are honored. I am a forensic doctor and I am used to wearing a mask."

Liu Feng laughed, "The little girl is quite humble. I'm leaving first. I've been busy for several days. It's time to close the net."

...

Tan Yi received the news and immediately applied for arrest.

The police car whizzed all the way and when it arrived at Mingyan Mingjiu, it joined the people arranged by Fu Da.

Du Zhun and others were responsible for the surveillance.

Tan Yi got out of the car and looked into the store. "Where is the person?"

Du Zhun said, "He was inside just now. He must have gone to the bathroom."

Without saying anything, Tan Yi threw his long legs and rushed into the store. Fu Da, Du Zhun, Liu Feng, Wang Zheng and others followed immediately.

There was no one at the front counter, so Tan Yi went to the back and saw that the bathroom door and window were open. The person had obviously escaped.

Du Zhun was so angry that he jumped up and down. "Damn, I was careful enough. How did he find out?"

Fu Da said, "Captain Tan, contact the traffic police to set up surveillance."

Tan Yi said, "I'll contact the traffic police, and you allocate the personnel. Three people will go to the Second Middle School, and three people will go to Yangguang Primary School."

Fu Da was stunned for a moment, "Can he go to school?"

Tan Yi said, "He won't be able to come back after running away. I think I'd rather take a risk."

"Okay, let's go now." Fu Da took the first group of people and left.

Tan Yi stepped on the toilet and went out of the window.

Wang Zheng and the other people in the second group followed.

As soon as he landed, Tan Yi rushed to Pi Yan's house, dialing the traffic police team while running...

There was no one at Pi's house, so Tan Yi missed the opportunity, but he found the new navy blue jacket that the peddler mentioned.

The house was tidy, the clothes were all there, and there seemed to be no sign of going far away.

After leaving Pi Yan's house, he told Wang Zheng to set up surveillance at the long-distance bus station and the train station.

About forty minutes later, Tan Yi received a call from Fu Da - he caught Pi Yan outside Yangguang Primary School.

...

Tan Yi gathered together the people involved in the Hou Zi'an case, gave each of them a mask to wear, and asked the hawker to identify them.

The hawker accurately recognized Pi Yan.

In the interrogation room.

Tan Yi personally interrogated Pi Yan.

"Do you know why you were asked to come here?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know why you ran away?"

"I didn't run away. I just had something to do, so I went to the school to find my son temporarily. Officer Tan, what law have I broken?"

Pi Yan acted very calm.

Tan Yi said, "You must have put rat poison in Hou Zian's water cup."

Pi Yan smiled slightly, "There are no rats in my house, and I never buy that stuff. Besides, I have no grudge against the Hou guy, why would I kill him?"

Tan Yi picked up the cigarette box on the table and lit one slowly, "Pi Yan, you'd better not be complacent. We didn't cause such a big fight without reason. I'm asking you now to give you a chance to confess, not because we don't know anything."

Pi Yan panicked and twisted his body unconsciously. He saw the police behind him and had to turn back.

Tan Yi said, "Do you know why I asked you to stand with those people just now?"

Pi Yan's face was stiff and he didn't answer.

Tan Yi asked himself and answered, "Because someone saw you and recognized you."

A thin sweat appeared on Pi Yan's face.

Tan Yi stared at his face, took a puff of cigarette slowly, and then slowly exhaled...

The curling white smoke lingered around him, and inexplicably there was a sense of mysterious certainty.

Tan Yi said, "You took so long to kill Hou Zian, so you must have considered everything. According to our country's laws, if you confess and plead guilty with a good attitude, we police will plead with the judge to give you leniency. If you insist on being complacent, then I will not be polite."

He picked up a piece of clothing from under his feet, "See this clothing, this is the clothes you wore when you went to Shitou Town to buy rat poison..."

"You don't have to say it, I'll say it!" Pi Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I killed Hou Zian... He deserves to die!"

In 1980, Pi Yan and his newlywed wife came to the city to work. Through the introduction of a fellow villager, they joined Hou Zian's engineering team. One worked as a laborer and a bricklayer, and the other worked as a cook in the canteen, cooking for the people on the construction site.

Xing Xiaolian was 21 years old and beautiful. She was so charming on the construction site that she attracted countless evil looks.

Hou Zian was the most excessive one among them. He not only flirted with her, but also occasionally took action.

Xing Xiaolian couldn't stand it and cried to Pi Yan as soon as she arrived at the shed.

Pi Yan knew that he couldn't tolerate such things and shouldn't tolerate them, but his mother was sick and the family owed a large amount of foreign debt. If he couldn't get the money, the family would fall apart.

Besides, his master was good to him, and he wanted to learn a good craft here before leaving.

So he advised Xing Xiaolian to be patient and careful, and finish this project, and then not work on Hou Zian's construction site in the future.

Unexpectedly, something happened after a few days of patience.

Seeing that Xing Xiaolian refused to leave, Hou Zian thought that Xing Xiaolian was playing hard to get, so he took the opportunity to pay the canteen staff and raped Xing Xiaolian.

After the incident, he gave Xing Xiaolian 500 yuan and a gold ring weighing three or four grams.

Hou Zian told Xing Xiaolian, "If you behave yourself, you will have plenty of these things in the future. If you call the police, I will say that you seduced me and we were willing. At the very least, you will be in prison for a few years, but your reputation will be ruined, and you and your man will not be able to hold your heads up. You can decide for yourself."

In those days, being raped was an embarrassing thing. Even if Hou Zian went to prison, Xing Xiaolian's life would not be easy.

She was not a stubborn woman. She knew the bitterness of it, so she gritted her teeth, took the money, and went home as if nothing had happened.

Hou Zian had tasted the sweetness, and he was paid so much money. One secret affair would definitely not satisfy him, so he often took advantage of Xing Xiaolian's meal delivery to have sex with her.

The construction site was not big, and Pi Yan heard about it within a few days. He and Xing Xiaolian had the only fight since they got married.

Xing Xiaolian blamed him and his mother, otherwise she would not have worked at the construction site, and such a thing would not have happened.

This is a fact.

Pi Yan could not refute it.

Moreover, he and Xing Xiaolian were classmates in junior high school, and they fell in love at that time. They had a deep relationship. Although his family conditions were not good, Xing Xiaolian did not despise him and married him wholeheartedly.

In addition, once he divorced, it would be even more difficult for him to find another one in the future.

After considering many aspects, Pi Yan swallowed his anger. He personally went to Hou Zian's house, threatened a large sum of money, and left Hou Zian's construction site.

With this money, the Pi family paid off their debts in one go, and the couple's life became more comfortable.

"It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

Xing Xiaolian tasted the sweetness and didn't want to work hard anymore. Soon she hooked up with Hou Zian again.

Pi Yan knew about this, but Xing Xiaolian was rich, and there was not much difference between doing it once and countless times. In the end, it was the same cuckold. He finally turned a blind eye and endured it.

Therefore, Xing Xiaolian's first child was not Pi Yan's - Pi Yan could not get over the hurdle in his heart and never touched Xing Xiaolian.

After Xing Xiaolian gave birth to a child, she was not as pretty as before.

Hou Zi'an felt relieved and soon found a new mistress. He readily gave her 50,000 yuan to end the relationship - he did not think the son was his, and gave her the money just to avoid entanglement and Xing Xiaolian making trouble at home.

In that era, 10,000 yuan was a lot, and 50,000 yuan was almost a huge sum of money.

Pi Yan was very disgusted with this child, but he could not refuse this wealth.

He brainwashed himself and regarded it as a second marriage with Xing Xiaolian. He put all the grievances and unwillingness in his heart and made an agreement with Xing Xiaolian to live a good life in the future and put the previous things behind them.

The couple bought a bungalow - they told their family that it was rented, and settled down completely in the city.

Xing Xiaolian took care of the children at home, while Pi Yan continued to work on various construction sites. Two years later, they had a son.

For seven or eight years, the couple lived in harmony - Pi Yan had a good temper, and Xing Xiaolian was grateful for his tolerance and consideration.

Until 1991, Pi Yan broke his leg on the construction site.

He suddenly realized that he was too old to do heavy physical labor all the time, and he should find a way to buy a store and live comfortably.

What way could they have? So Xing Xiaolian approached Hou Zian again.

Hou Zian helped Xing Xiaolian buy a storefront opposite the Yangguang Community for 80,000 yuan, and gave her a plan to sell cigarettes and alcohol, and also opened up key links.

Pi Yan didn't have 80,000 yuan, so he scraped together money and sold his bungalow to pay the full amount.

However, Zhengyi Street was not a prosperous store, and after the famous cigarettes and alcohol were opened, the business was very ordinary, just enough to make a living.

But this store emptied all the savings of the couple.

Reality taught Pi Yan a lesson, and he felt that he was cheated.

When he discussed this with his neighbor, he told him that the real internal price was 70,000, and he had lost money.

After hearing this, Xing Xiaolian was also anxious and angry, so she went to Hou Zian to argue, but she was old and ugly, not only did she fail to make any trouble, but was ridiculed by Hou Zian.

Hou Zian told her that he had no shortage of sons, and he had done his best for her. If she was not afraid of embarrassment, she could make trouble, and see who could not live.

Xing Xiaolian returned home in defeat.

Pi Yan knew the seriousness of the matter and swallowed his anger again.

Another four years passed, and there were more residents in the Sunshine Community, and the business slowly improved.

Just when Pi Yan felt that life was a little more comfortable, he met Hou Zian again.

From then on, Hou Zian would buy cigarettes from him every time he came to Yangguang Community, and he would always mention how beautiful Xing Xiaolian was when she was young, and he would always greet his eldest son, and he would always tease him and ask him if he enjoyed his free food.

Pi Yan said, "No matter how good my free food is, he can't stop stuffing shit and urine into it. Even a clay man still has some earthiness. I want to kill him."

When he said this, he had regained his calm, the kind of calmness that is greater than the sorrow of a dead heart, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"It just so happened that a relative from my hometown was hospitalized, so I brought them food and followed him a few times. I found out his ward number and his escape route."

"But the ward number alone is not enough, I have to consider how to kill him. I have seen people who accidentally took rat poison, so I made up my mind from the beginning, but it was hard to grasp the time."

"I took the opportunity when he came to my store to show off to find out his sleeping pattern. This old guy was still proudly showing off to me, saying how good his kidneys were, how strong he was, and how he went to bed at eight or nine in the evening, woke up once in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn."

"After figuring out the time, I made preparations and went to Shitou Town to buy medicine. The next night after delivering meals, I did not leave the hospital. I squatted in this toilet and that toilet until about twelve o'clock. When the people in the bathroom left, I sneaked upstairs. I waited for Hou Zian in the bathroom, then went to Hou Zian's ward and drugged him."

"I was scared at the time, and my hands were shaking. I used toilet paper to pad my hands to twist the cup lid, but I couldn't use the strength. I twisted it several times and was slow to put the medicine in. Just after I put the medicine in, I heard footsteps in the corridor. I had no choice but to squat in the second bed. I was really scared at the time and dared not breathe. Fortunately, he didn't find me, otherwise he would not die."

"But, his death was also quite scary. I was so scared that I dropped the toilet paper in my pocket. When I was about to jump out of the toilet window on the first floor, I checked the things I brought with me and found that the toilet paper was gone. I was afraid that you would find fingerprints on the toilet paper, so I had no choice but to go back and get some."

The back door of the inpatient department was busy during the day, but there were few people after dawn. First, the door was not open, and second, the emergency department only went through the front. Pi Yan was familiar with the terrain and quickly returned to the store.

Xing Xiaolian had no idea that he had killed someone.

She only knew that he had to take over temporarily to take care of the patient for his fellow villager. The reason why Pi Yan sent her out of the city was because he was afraid that he would ask her about her being Hou Zian's mistress.

...

Outside the interrogation room, Lu Qiyuan and Huang Zhenyi listened to the interrogation together.

Lu Qiyuan said, "It's true that his reputation is well-deserved."

Huang Zhenyi nodded, "He has a good grasp of the timing. He almost couldn't break through Pi Yan's psychological defenses. He is calm and experienced. It's really a young man to be feared."

Lu Qiyuan smiled and said, "Look, we thought three days was too short, but he solved it in a day and a half."

Huang Zhenyi was shocked, "Captain, there is a component of luck in solving cases. We can't over-publicize it, otherwise it will be fatal."

"Don't worry, I'm not senile yet." Lu Qiyuan joked and walked out, "Let's say hello to Director Yan, find the reporter from the evening paper, and publicize it appropriately."

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the news that the Municipal Bureau cracked the poisoning case in the Municipal Hospital was published in the evening paper.

Tan Yi, Xie Qing and Li Ke were mentioned in the article.

Because the reporter was a woman, the article deliberately exaggerated the hard work of the female police officer and the forensic doctor in the case.

Li Ke was very happy and immediately called home to claim credit for a long time.

Xie Qing also received condolence calls from the Xie family father and son.

Xie Xun asked her to go home when she had time, while Xie Chen said he wanted to treat her to a meal alone to celebrate.

Xie Qing refused the former on the grounds that she was busy with work, but agreed to the latter.
