Chapter 36 Poisoning Case
◎Eight years later, things have changed◎
Xu Juncai walked out of the house, and the night breeze made him feel much clearer.
He took out his cell phone and called his son Xu Qingxi: "Is there a classmate in your dormitory named Gu from Zhushi?"
When Xu Qingxi was called down by the dormitory manager to answer the phone, he was actually resisting in his heart. It was almost ten o'clock, the time for lights to be turned off in the dormitory. No one would look for him at this time. Only his father would go crazy and call him anytime and anywhere to satisfy his strong desire for control.
However, Xu Qingxi, who had been brought up by his mother to be sensible and polite, did not express his dissatisfaction and answered honestly: "Yes, Gu Zhixing, he is from Zhushi."
"I heard that his family is in the construction business?"
"Yes."
"What's his father's name?"
"I have no idea."
Xu Juncai was very dissatisfied with his son's answer and asked impatiently: "These will be your connections in the future, how can you not find out clearly? Is he in the dormitory?"
Xu Qingxi would never lie: "Yes."
"Let him answer the phone. I'll call you back in three minutes." After saying that, Xu Juncai hung up the phone without saying anything.
Xu Qingxi's heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion. He wanted to shout, make a fuss, and lose his temper.
His biological father never fulfilled his obligation to raise him before he was fifteen, but after his mother died, he took him in and raised him as his heir.
No one asked for his opinion; everything was arranged clearly.
Before his mother died, she held his hand reluctantly and told him with tears in her eyes: "Your father has no children. He is successful in his career now. He can support you to continue your studies and help you gain a foothold in this society. I know you hate him, but... he is your biological father after all. Don't worry, he promised me that he would make up for it and take good care of you in the future. Qingxi, listen to me and go with him."
After helping Mei Xinhui with her funeral, Xu Juncai brought him to Xing City and solemnly introduced him to everyone around him: This is my son. His tone was full of boasting, pride, and inexplicable relief. He and Zhou Jingrong had no children, but fortunately Mei Xinhui left him a descendant and raised him to be so outstanding.
For a long time, Xu Juncai took great care of Xu Qingxi. He provided him with the best food, clothes, and other things. His stepmother Zhou Jingrong also coaxed and indulged him in everything. Xu Qingxi tried hard to adapt to this new home.
However, Xu Juncai's inherent strength and Zhou Jingrong's unconcealed possessiveness made the sensitive Xu Qingxi feel bad. After he was admitted to the university, he seldom went home. Even during the winter and summer vacations, he preferred to stay at the construction site for internship.
Zhao Xiangwan's face flashed before my eyes.
She has an apple-shaped face and light pupils, but she has a determination that ordinary people don't have.
After finding her, Xu Qingxi suddenly felt more confident. If he was a lone boat drifting on the sea, then Zhao Xiangwan was the beacon that penetrated the fog.
After meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel that day, Xu Qingxi visited Zhao Xiangwan twice. Although the conversations were not long, they helped him find the motivation and direction for future progress.
Zhao Xiangwan said: "If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "You are an adult, can't you be independent?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Justice cannot be asked for or begged for. Do you understand?"
Every word is like a pearl, piercing the heart.
Looking back on the past, I can still vividly remember my mother's tears at night, the cancer caused by long-term depression, and her reluctance to leave me at my sickbed... My kind, hardworking, and tolerant mother died young, while my selfish, powerful, and unscrupulous father has everything going his way. Is this fair?
Shamelessness, if it is easily forgiven, who would still be willing to be a kind person?
After a struggle, Xu Qingxi felt that the shackles that had been oppressing him were loosened. He gently put down the phone and said to the dormitory manager, "If he calls later, tell him that the lights are off and we can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
After saying that, Xu Qingxi turned around and went upstairs, pulling up his roommate who was lying on the bed: "Gu Zhixing, didn't you invite me to work hard in Shenzhen? I agreed."
Gu Zhixing sat up with an excited look on his face: "Really? Didn't you say your dad wouldn't let you leave Xing City? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xu Qingxi: "A good man has ambitions to go far and wide."
Gu Zhixing slapped his thigh and said, "It's great that you figured it out! I told you a long time ago that people like us who run a construction company should go to the south to see the world first. My dad always said that starting a business is hard, and keeping it is even harder. My brother and I, one studying structure and the other studying architecture, will have to work outside for five years before coming back."
Xu Qingxi nodded.
Gu Zhixing is from Zhushi. He has a warm and cheerful personality. He has a good relationship with Xu Qingxi, who is introverted, calm and has excellent grades. In his senior year, he strongly invited him to go to Shenzhen with him to find a job.
Originally, Xu Qingxi was still hesitant because Xu Juncai asked him to help him in the company right after graduation, Zhou Jingrong persuaded him that life outside was too hard and it would be better to get married and have children early to inherit the family business, and Zhao Chenyang was even more affectionate and reluctant to let him leave. But now, because of the appearance of Zhao Xiangwan, he decided to follow his heart and start his own business.
When his mother divorced him, she did not ask for a penny from Xu Juncai and raised him with her own ability. Could it be that as Mei Xinhui's son, at the age of 22 and about to graduate from college, he could not stand up for once?
Gu Zhixing now had a partner to explore the south, and excitedly pulled Xu Qingxi to start imagining their future life.
On the other side, Xu Juncai was so angry that he couldn't get through on the phone. His son, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, suddenly started to rebel. This feeling was really bad!
The next morning, Xu Juncai drove to Hunan University and stopped Xu Qingxi and Gu Zhixing who were about to have breakfast together. He yelled at them, "I raised you to this age, but you can't help at all when the company is in trouble. How can I expect you to inherit the company in the future?"
Xu Qingxi stopped and looked at him coldly: "I have no intention of inheriting the company."
"What?!" Xu Juncai was furious, and wanted to slap him, "You've grown wings, haven't you? Believe it or not, I won't give you anything in the future!"
Although he said so, Xu Juncai, who was traditional in his thinking, knew it very well in his heart. The company he founded, a huge industry, would definitely be handed over to his own flesh and blood, Xu Qingxi, in the future. It was just that the woman he found later was not very good. If she could have given birth to a few more sons, why would she need to lose her temper and teach Xu Qingxi a lesson here?
Xu Qingxi has now thought it through and is not afraid of him at all.
"More than ten years ago, when you abandoned my mother, you gave her nothing, but she and I lived well. Now, you can still give me nothing, and I can still live a decent life."
"You!" It was the first time that Xu Juncai was confronted by his son. He was dismayed. He raised his right hand tremblingly and pointed his finger directly at Xu Qingxi: "Boy, don't force me."
After saying this, even Xu Juncai himself felt unsure. If Xu Qingxi really didn't want anything, then what else could he have to control him? Xu Juncai only had this one son, so who could he give the huge family business to?
If you have no desires, you will be strong. What do I have to fear?
Xu Qingxi smiled lightly, walked past, and walked away with Gu Zhixing.
Xu Juncai stood in the dormitory corridor, looking at the son he had raised for six years. His back was so resolute that he couldn't breathe and almost died on the spot.
Gu Zhixing asked with some concern: "Is your dad okay?"
Xu Qingxi shook his head: "Don't worry, bad people live a thousand years."
Gu Zhixing laughed dumbly: "How can you say that about your own father?"
Xu Qingxi sighed softly: "I would rather not have such a father."
At this moment, Xu Qingxi didn't want to keep the painful past in his heart any longer, so he simply told her about the past when his father abandoned his wife and son. Perhaps, only by facing the past can we better face the future.
After listening to Xu Qingxi's words, Gu Zhixing opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief: "So, your father is so shameless but he didn't get any punishment at all, and he picked up such a good son like you for nothing?"
Xu Qingxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gu Zhixing was straightforward and continued, "So, after your mother passed away, you accepted his arrangement to go to college and help out on the construction site, calling him dad without hesitation and calling that shameless woman aunt? And you also followed their request and obediently got engaged to your childhood sweetheart?"
Xu Qingxi's face turned pale and he opened his mouth. He wanted to explain his behavior, but he felt that everything he said was pale and powerless. He was weak and passive. His father and Zhou Jingrong provided too much material conditions. Zhao Chenyang was gentle and attentive to him, trying to please him everywhere, and he was gradually tamed like a frog in warm water.
Gu Zhixing said bluntly: "You, you are too honest! Your father has let your mother down, so he should be severely punished. Eat his food and smash his pot, this is what a real man does. You listen to me, this and that..."
After a while of mumbling, Xu Qingxi's eyes were broadened.
Xu Qingxi told the secret, and Gu Zhixing felt happy that his brother finally treated him as one of his own. He taught him how to seize power and take revenge. Later, Gu Zhixing suddenly remembered something: "Why did your father come to see you today? Why was he angry?"
Xu Qingxi said: "My dad asked me to find out who your dad is."
Gu Zhixing laughed: "My dad? My dad is the boss of Gu's Starlight Construction Company. Is your dad asking you about this because my dad stole your dad's business last week?"
Xu Qingxi was actually a bit dull, and because of his inner resistance, he rarely paid attention to the company's affairs. After hearing what Gu Zhixing said, he asked, "What business?"
顧之星心情很好，摟過徐清溪的肩膀：“這事兒吧，我一開始聽說之後還覺得對不住你。不過現在聽你一說，覺得挺解氣的。我跟你說啊，你爸現在不知道怎麽得罪了四季大酒店的季總，停止所有與徐氏建築公司的合作。至于為什麽……我其實也挺好奇的，傳聞是季總不知道從哪裏知道了你爸的往事，不恥他的行為。”
徐清溪愣了一下。1973年到1992年，父親将往事埋得很深，哪怕是把他從黃甲鄉帶出來的時候，也只是說知青下鄉時娶妻生子，後來返鄉時和平離婚。徐清溪今天是第一次對顧之星說出家事，外人從哪裏知道父親抛妻棄子？
趙向晚的面容再一次在腦中浮現。
對了！知道這一切的還有趙向晚。
想到這裏，徐清溪等徐俊才離開之後，往趙向晚宿舍拔出電話。
剛剛從操場訓練回來的趙向晚被宿管阿姨叫住，拿起電話便聽到徐清溪的聲音：“趙向晚，早上好。”
公安大學重視學生的體能訓練，跑操、引體向上、軍體拳一套練下來，趙向晚額角微汗，她努力停勻呼吸：“什麽事？”
徐清溪知道她不喜歡拐彎抹角，便開門見山：“是不是因為你的原因，所以季錦茂停止和徐氏建築公司的合作？”
趙向晚沒有否認：“是的。”
徐清溪不知道是該喜還是該愁，半天才說了一句：“他現在還不知道是你。他做工程這麽多年，人脈不少，你要小心點。”面對趙向晚，徐清溪連一聲“爸”都不敢說，全用“他”來代替。
趙向晚淡淡道：“讓他放馬過來。”
徐清溪不放心地叮囑道：“我畢業之後會到深市工作，徐氏建築公司……反正我也不想要，随便你怎麽做，我都支持。”
趙向晚輕笑一聲，沒有說話。
這一聲笑就在耳邊，似緩緩流淌的小溪流，激到青石，發出調皮的聲響。徐清溪感覺半邊臉頰都在發燒，整個人不知道身在何處。
直到挂斷電話，徐清溪擡手輕撫左胸，砰砰急跳的心髒在告訴他，這就是心動的感覺。
讓作惡的人付出代價——如果，這是趙向晚想要的，那徐清溪願意助她一臂之力。
電話的另一頭，趙向晚擡手看了看手表。
這是一塊梅花牌女式機械手表，花了一百多塊錢。年前趙晨陽賠自己三千塊，趙青雲給了一萬塊，出資幫大姑在縣城開了家米粉店之後還剩下五千多塊，趙向晚便給自己買了一塊手表。
現在是早上7：20，周五。
今天沒有課，等下許嵩嶺會過來接她一起去市局實習。
司機劫殺案已經偵破，原本刑偵支隊相對清閑，但因為趙向晚的緣故，大家同仇敵忾忙着揪徐俊才的小辮子。昨天下午，細心的許明玉在檔案室找出一份與徐俊才有關的案宗，正好今天過去一起看看，商量下一步應該怎麽走。
趙向晚一進辦公室，許明玉便迎了上來：“向晚，你來看，這個案子挺蹊跷。”
打開案宗，這是一個沒有偵破的投毒案，因為被投毒的女孩曾經是徐俊才的情婦，所以徐俊才、周荊容都被調查過。
1983年，秦月影在湘省城市建設學院讀大三，暑期實習階段認識了徐俊才，兩人迅速墜入愛河。
1984年春，正在繪圖室忙畢業設計的秦月影忽然感覺頭昏眼花、四肢僵硬，想到自己例假一直沒來，她以為自己懷孕，欣喜若狂，迫不及待地告訴了徐俊才這個好消息。
徐俊才和周荊容結婚十年，兩人一直膝下空虛，這讓他很着急。他與梅心慧結婚才兩個月就懷上了兒子，這證明他身體沒問題，于是一邊安慰周荊容一邊在外面找情人，來來去去找了四、五個，一個都沒有懷上，他也很郁悶。現在聽說秦月影例假停了兩個月，趕緊帶着她上醫院檢查。
HCG檢查結果出來，秦月影急切問醫生：“是懷孕了嗎？”
醫生看一眼檢查結果，搖了搖頭：“從這個檢查結果來看，你并沒有懷孕。”
秦月影愣住：“不可能，我例假已經有兩個月沒有來了。”
醫生：“不來例假有很多原因，不一定是懷孕。”
她擡頭認真看了一眼秦月影，見她面色蠟黃，眉頭微皺：“要不，你抽血檢查一下其他項目吧。”
秦月影聽到自己沒有懷孕，心情低落，哪裏還有什麽心情做進一步檢查，拒絕了醫生，捂着臉飛奔而出。徐俊才追出去，不斷地安慰着她，可是秦月影卻依然流淚不止。
到了下午，秦月影忽然暈倒，被送到醫院。
秦月影父母匆匆趕到，看着面色蠟黃、嘔吐不已、四肢抽搐的女兒，吓得魂飛魄散。等到檢查結果出來，竟然是铊中毒！
铊金屬嚴重超标，哪怕後期采取普魯士藍、硫代硫酸鈉等藥物促進铊離子排洩，但由于錯過了最佳時期，依然出現肌肉萎縮、肝腎的永久性損傷，好好的一個年青女子，就這樣成為了個天天躺在床上、近乎殘疾的病人。
秦月影父母報案，學校也高度重視，對她的宿舍、個人物品進行檢查，高度懷疑有人在她水杯投毒，但是繪圖教室、宿舍卻找不到她的水杯。
那是一個徐俊才托人從國外帶回來的精致水杯，粉紅色，滿滿的少女心。
誤服，還是有人下毒？
秦月影的父母是星市某中學的老師，為人和善，只有這一個獨生女兒，精心呵護着長大，原以為大學畢業之後就能走上工作崗位、結婚生子，從此幸福生活，哪知道好好一個姑娘就這樣中毒倒下。如果不是因為秦月影還有呼吸、需要人照顧，他們恐怕連活下去的勇氣都沒有。
看到這裏，何明玉嘆了一口氣：“這個秦月影真的很可憐。她在學校讀的是建築學專業，在校期間成績優秀，能歌善舞，容貌嬌美，可是……就這樣被毀了。”
劉良駒是重案組年紀較大的那一個，成熟老練，他搖頭道：“這麽優秀的女孩，為什麽想不開要做人情婦？太不自重了！”
朱飛鵬右手腕的石膏已經拆掉，但依然吊着繃帶，反問了一句：“你認為，她之所以中毒是因為她當了徐俊才的情婦？案宗上寫得清清楚楚，嫌疑最大的是她的宿舍室友馮莉莉。”
趙向晚拿過卷宗，細細地從頭看到尾，陷入沉思之中。
按照中毒時間推測，應該在秦月影去醫院檢查之前。徐俊才既沒有作案動機，也沒有投毒機會；一直在家待着的周荊容雖然有作案動機，但沒有作案時間。警方懷疑是室友馮莉莉，但因為缺乏證據，最終不了了之。
許嵩嶺見舊案重提，道：“這樁案件我記得，水杯找不到、人證沒有，雖然馮莉莉的男友在隔壁化工學院讀書，有機會接觸到實驗室的铊鹽，但當時實驗室管理混亂，找不到她男友将铊鹽帶出實驗室的證據。後來，警方放了馮莉莉，下半年馮莉莉出國留學，從此這件案子就封了檔。”
何明玉和朱飛鵬來局裏時間短，第一次聽說這件沒有找到兇手的案子，都有些憤憤不平：“就這樣結案了？秦月影正是青春得意的時候，總不能是自己服毒吧？查了半天，結果兇手逍遙法外？”
許嵩嶺也很無奈：“我當時沒到刑偵支隊，這個案子不是我負責。不過，我記得隔壁辦公室的高廣強是當時這個案子的經辦人，我把他叫過來，你們有什麽不懂的就問他吧。”
高廣強現在重案三組，也歸許嵩嶺這個刑偵支隊隊長管，一叫就到。
今年五十歲的高廣強精神頭已經不如年輕人，不過多年刑警當下來，腰杆筆直，眉宇間自有一股凜然正氣。
見趙向晚等人對秦月影铊中毒一案感興趣，高廣強拖過一把椅子坐下，努力回憶着往事。
“真的非常可惜，秦月影這個孩子風華正茂，她當徐俊才的情婦一事，也是被騙。徐俊才說已經和周荊容離婚，只是為了面子才沒有宣布。他找人做了個假證給秦月影看，承諾等她一畢業就娶她，哄得她全身心地信任。”
聽到這裏，所有人都看向剛才質疑秦月影不自重的劉良駒。
劉良駒有點尴尬地舉起雙手，做投降狀：“我錯了，我錯了。”
“我們調查過馮莉莉，她出身農村，家境貧寒，長相普通，很看不慣長相漂亮、穿着時髦，家境優越的秦月影，曾經在宿舍裏爆發過比較激烈的争吵。”
趙向晚問：“為什麽吵？”
“馮莉莉談了個男朋友，是個什麽都沒有的年輕大學生。秦月影也談了個男朋友，卻是個事業有成的大叔。馮莉莉罵秦月影不要臉，找個年紀那麽大的一定是給人當小三。秦月影平時都讓着她，但辱及徐俊才，便回敬了幾句。”
“這麽說來，秦月影宿舍室友都見過徐俊才？”
“也不算吧。徐俊才勸秦月影顧及一下周荊容的感受，畢竟周荊容與他結婚十年，只是因為沒有孩子才主動退出，所以最好兩人的關系不要公開以保護周荊容脆弱的自尊心。秦月影聽信了他的鬼話，從不把徐俊才帶到同學面前，沒有對外宣布她的戀情。馮莉莉也是無意間在外面碰到過他們一次，這才知道秦月影談了個年紀大的男朋友。”
重案組的年輕人集體嘆氣。
劉良駒問：“就因為嫉妒、争吵，就投毒殺人？”
高廣強攤開手：“經過我們的詢問與據醫生推測，投毒時間應該在秦月影去醫院檢查的那天上午。投毒地點可能在宿舍，也可能在繪圖教室。有機會投毒的，一是宿舍舍友，二是能進繪圖教室的同學、老師。”
所有人的目光都望向高廣強，這讓他內心産生出沉重的壓力。當年這個案子因為涉及校園投毒，引發社會高度關注，學校、家屬給了市局很大壓力，刑警們連軸轉，挨着個地在學校裏問詢、搜索。
秦月影的宿舍舍友一共三個，馮莉莉與她關系不好，樊玮與她關系一般，喬小紅和她關系比較好。這三個女生只記得秦月影去繪圖教室的時候帶着水杯，但具體後來水杯去了哪裏，誰也不知道。
繪圖教室位于學校教學樓的六樓，同一層樓裏有十一間繪圖教室，配備繪圖桌、圖板、丁字尺等繪圖工具。教室的前後門都是敞開的，人來人往，誰都可以進出，要找出投毒者，難度又更大了一層。
到底是誰？這麽惡毒地毒害同學？
同宿舍的女生最有嫌疑，因為可以很輕松地将铊鹽丢進秦月影的水杯，秦月景影早起後洗漱、去食堂吃早飯、上廁所……總會有視線離開水杯的時候，瞅個宿舍沒人的時候下毒，非常容易。
同一層繪圖教室的同學也有嫌疑，因為秦月影那天7：40就到教室，9點感覺不适就醫，7：40-9：00之間教室裏學生很少，大家都埋頭畫圖，沒有留意教室有沒有其他人進來，也沒有注意是否有人靠近秦月影，更沒在意有沒有動過秦月影的水杯。
秦月影中毒太深，腦神經受損，智力倒退回六歲狀态，那段記憶全部消失，根本沒辦法提供任何有用的信息。
因此，案件偵查進入膠着狀态。
在調查了所有有機會接觸到秦月影水杯的同學之後，高廣強将目光鎖定在馮莉莉身上。一來，據同寝室的其他兩位同學反應，秦月影晨起洗漱時她們都還沒起床，但聽到了馮莉莉起床、翻動抽屜的聲音；二來，秦月影拿着水杯離開宿舍的時候，發現開水瓶裏沒有水，馮莉莉難得主動地幫她倒上了開水；三來，馮莉莉的男友在化工學院讀大四，有機會拿到铊鹽。
可是，在審訊馮莉莉的過程中，高廣強感覺非常艱難。
原以為只是個不谙世事的姑娘，吓一吓、詐一詐就能突破她的心理防線，讓她說出實話。沒想到馮莉莉的性格異常沉穩、冷靜，老老實實回話，但句句都在為自己開脫。
“對，那天我是第二個起床，但我一向起得早。我擦臉的雪花膏就在抽屜裏，開抽屜很正常吧？”
“警察叔叔，助人為樂也有錯嗎？同一個宿舍，我雖然看不慣秦月影，但看她開水瓶裏沒有水，順手幫她倒點水，這也不行？”
“唉，我男朋友宋志清和我是同村人，他讀書很努力，我們一起申請下來了M國大學的獎學金，将來一個當建築師、一個當工程師，前景一片光明，為什麽要做犯法的事讓自己前途盡毀？再說了，如果能夠拿到铊鹽就是嫌疑犯，那是不是隔壁化工學院的所有學生都有可能投毒？會不會有人追求秦月影被拒、憤而殺人呢？”
因為八十年代醫學檢測技術相對落後，從秦月影昏迷、送醫院，到檢查出中了铊毒、報警，足足過了五天時間，這五天時間裏，足夠讓罪犯毀滅所有證據。
哪怕所有證據鏈都指向馮莉莉，但因為證據不足，最後警方只能放走她。
何明玉點點頭：“除非找到水杯，在水杯上找到指紋，這才算是鐵錘。”
朱飛鵬補充道：“哪怕有指紋，也只能說明馮莉莉接觸過這個水杯。只要她不承認，依然不能錘死。”
“铊鹽無色無味，溶解性好，但投毒之前總要有容器吧？在馮莉莉的抽屜裏搜過沒？有沒有铊鹽殘留的紙袋或者其他盒子？”
高廣強搖了搖頭：“你們現在能夠想到的，我們都想到了。”
朱飛鵬恨恨地說：“如果當時有趙向晚參與就好了，讓她審訊馮莉莉，一定能揪出她的狐貍尾巴。”
許嵩嶺提醒一句：“在沒有确鑿證據時，警察不能擅自認定馮莉莉就是兇手。我們做刑警的，切忌先入為主。”
朱飛鵬不服氣地哼了一句，在心裏嘀咕着：明明就是馮莉莉幹的，除了她還有誰？嫉妒人家長得漂亮家世好，還找了個有錢的男朋友呗。像她這種靠努力考大學上來的，多半就看不慣秦月影這種靠父母、靠男人，可以少奮鬥幾十年的人。
趙向晚問：“馮莉莉最後說的那一句，會不會也有可能？化工學院有沒有追求或者暗戀秦月影的男生？”
高廣強：“有倒是有。秦月影人長得漂亮，還是校園十佳歌手之一，名氣不小。隔壁化工學院的男生中，仰慕她的人不少。不過我們調查過，出事那天都沒有離校。”
這條線索又斷了。
趙向晚再問：“有沒有可能，是買.兇.殺.人？”
高廣強明顯地愣了一下。
校園投毒，多半都是同學之間的紛争，出于嫉妒、憤慨等心理因素，怎麽就上升到了買.兇.殺.人的地步？
朱飛鵬到底是科班出身，一點就透，眼睛亮了起來：“如果是買.兇.殺.人，那所有的不在場證據都不存在，需要先從動機下手。”
“對！”趙向晚用眼神鼓勵朱飛鵬繼續發揮。
趙向晚記得自己在四季大酒店見到徐清溪的時候，他曾在心裏說過：周荊容是只笑面虎，喜歡暗箭傷人，要小心！那個身形瘦削、面容陰沉的女人，給趙向晚留下的印象非常不好。
趙向晚高度懷疑投毒案與周荊容有關，周荊容雖然不能親自下毒，但可以指使馮莉莉動手。
朱飛鵬難得得到趙向晚的肯定，整個人都興奮起來，拿起一支粉筆，在一旁的黑板上寫下“動機”二字，大聲道：“要說殺人動機最強的，應該是周荊容。她丈夫出軌，找了個年青漂亮的大學生，她的地位岌岌可危，這個時候買.兇.殺.人，可能性很大。”
朱飛鵬左手吊着繃帶，右手拿着粉筆在動機二字上畫了個圈圈，引出一條線，線條的另一端寫上“周荊容”三個字；緊接着從“周荊容”出發，再畫一條線，線條的另一端寫上“馮莉莉”三個字。
“有沒有一種可能，周荊容私下與馮莉莉接觸，出錢資助她出國，條件是在秦月影的水杯裏投毒？”
高廣強的臉色變了。
如果真是這樣，那警方一開始的偵破方向就出了問題！
周荊容的嫌疑依然存在，不會因為有不在場證據就說明無辜。
馮莉莉是否認識周荊容，她和男友同時獲得國外學校獎學金是否有周荊容的幫助，這些都應該重點調查。
高廣強內心的沉重感越來越強。五十多歲的年齡，皺紋已經爬上額頭，帶着見慣風雲的滄桑。快要退休的年齡了，今天突然發現已經封存的舊案有問題，他如坐針氈。
趙向晚擡起頭，聲音很柔和：“高警官，你們當年的調查非常詳盡，我在查閱案卷的時候受益匪淺。現在我們想重啓調查，不知道應該怎麽走流程呢？”
來自晚輩的贊賞與誠懇，讓高廣強心裏舒服了許多，他看了一眼許嵩嶺。許嵩嶺一拍胸脯：“我來申請重新調查此案，重案一組接手，怎麽樣？”
所有人齊聲回應：“是！”
重案一組全是年輕人，他們鬥志昂揚讓高廣強受到感染，站起身道：“讓我也加入這個案件的調查吧，我有秦月影父母的聯系方式，對當年的情況比較熟悉。”
許嵩嶺沖他伸出手，爽朗一笑：“老高，歡迎加入！”
握完手，高廣強欲言又止，猶豫了半天才說：“其實，當初我們調查的時候也遇到了不少阻力。《星市法制周報》的記者原本一直在跟蹤案件調查過程，但中途收到警告不讓關注此案。負責這個案子的袁隊半道被調去省廳，這也是案件後來匆忙結案的一部分原因。”
A gloomy look flashed across Xu Songling's dark face: "I will be in charge of reopening this old case this time, and I will definitely not give up halfway."
The older you are, the less courageous you become. Gao Guangqiang glanced at the high-spirited young man in the office and reminded him again: "It has been eight years since the incident. Things have changed and it is difficult to find evidence. It will be very difficult to solve this case."
Zhu Feipeng chuckled: "It's not difficult, there's no need for our Serious Case Team!"
The Serious Crime Unit officially reopened the campus poisoning case.
The first person Zhao Xiangwan visited was the person involved, Qin Yueying.
Chengnan No. 3 Middle School has built several new dormitory buildings in the past two years, and everyone is happily moving into new homes, but Qin Yueying's family still lives in one of the earliest old dormitory buildings built in the 1960s.
The base of the wall was already dilapidated, and ivy had climbed up the gable, completely covering the wall of a six-story brick-concrete house, leaving only the wooden windows with peeling paint visible.
There is a yard on the first floor where some vegetables are planted. The ground is paved with red bricks, and lush weeds are growing in the gaps.
Standing in front of the iron gate of the yard, Gao Guangqiang shouted: "Teacher Qin, Teacher Qin, are you home?"
The balcony door opened, and a white-haired man walked out. He was hunched over, and when he saw Gao Guangqiang, he responded happily, "Hey, it's Officer Gao. Here you are."
With a series of clangs, the iron gate opened. Zhao Xiangwan saw the man's face clearly, and for some reason, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
Qin Yueying's father, Qin Yizhong, had white hair from his temples to his head, like white snow, without a single black hair. He had a pair of wise and gentle eyes, with wrinkles running through the corners of his eyes. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the wrinkles became deeper.
He is only fifty-five, but looks to be over sixty.
Gao Guangqiang brought Zhao Xiangwan, He Mingyu, and Liu Liangju with him. Qin Yizhong saw the unfamiliar faces beside him and asked with a smile, "Officer Gao, why did you bring so many young people here today? Is it your mission to bring in new people?"
"Go inside and talk. Go inside and talk."
Gao Guangqiang handed the fruit in his hand to Qin Yizhong, walked with him across the small courtyard, and entered the bedroom through the balcony door.
The lighting on the first floor was poor, and there was a strange sour smell in the air. Zhao Xiangwan squinted his eyes after entering the room, and after adjusting to the change in light for a while, he looked at the interior furnishings.
The old school building has a door on the first floor directly facing the yard, so the door from the living room to the stairwell was sealed. The balcony was converted into a living room. There were old wooden sofas and tea tables, and a small domestically-made Panda TV on the TV cabinet, which was playing cartoons.
Eight years have passed, and things and people have changed, but Qin Yueying's family seems to have remained in the past.
Sitting on the sofa was a fat woman in pajamas, with her hair shaved short, a blanket on her knees, watching TV with relish, and was not interrupted even by the guests coming over.
This woman is Qin Yueying?
In the photo on the case file, Qin Yueying had a slim figure, a long swan neck, a beautiful oval face, and a pair of lively big eyes. She was as beautiful as a star on a movie poster.
But... now, she is completely devastated.
The sofa was occupied by Qin Yueying. Qin Yizhong brought a few old chairs from the next room and asked everyone to sit down. He then stood up to serve tea and water, fearing that he would neglect the guests.
His knees seemed unable to bend, and his movements were somewhat clumsy. Gao Guangqiang asked with concern: "Teacher Qin, your arthritis hasn't healed yet? Do you have any patch? The first floor is too damp and cold. You should also consider moving when the school allocates new dormitories this time."
Qin Yizhong shook his head: "We can't move. Yafen and I are too old to climb the stairs. Yueying is in this condition, so there's no way we can move."
Zhao Xiangwan followed Gao Guangqiang's line of sight and looked at Qin Yueying's legs under the blanket. Judging from the bulge, her legs were as thin as bamboo poles. Thallium poisoning caused muscle atrophy and paralysis of her lower limbs.
He Mingyu also noticed it and turned away, unable to bear to look any further.
This case was Gao Guangqiang's heart knot. During the investigation, he became good friends with Qin Yizhong and would come to visit him every once in a while. This time, he brought Zhao Xiangwan and the other two with him, so he was familiar with the place.
Gao Guangqiang briefly introduced Zhao Xiangwan and the others, and explained his purpose: "Teacher Qin, the Municipal Bureau intends to reopen the old case, so I came here to understand the situation and see if there are any omissions, and try to bring the real culprit to justice."
After so many years, I thought the injustice was buried in the sea, but I didn't expect that the poisoning case could be re-investigated. Qin Yizhong stood up excitedly, tears in his eyes, his lips trembling, and held Gao Guangqiang's hand: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you for remembering this case and thinking about redressing our Yueying."
