Police Detective

This was also something Bai Song had considered before coming.

There are planting areas nearby, and there are also pesticide sellers, and this pesticide is relatively common, a bit like dichlorvos, and its specific ingredients are almost the same. But this family is a pure herdsman, and they shouldn't always have such things in their home.

If you deliberately bought it to commit suicide, it is not impossible. The local public security organs have begun to investigate nearby pesticide shops, but with little success. Because it is the Chinese New Year, it is impossible for anyone to buy pesticides at this time, so most stores are closed. Even after the Chinese New Year, many stores don’t open until March or April.

When Bai Song investigated the Tian Fang case, there was a middle-aged woman working at the seed station in the shanty town of the village. Seed stations and pesticide pharmacies are usually integrated, and there is little work in winter.

Therefore, whether it was suicide or homicide, the pesticide must have been prepared in advance. According to the business hours of most stores, it took at least a month to prepare.

There is a logical problem here. If it is suicide, it means that the deceased had suicidal tendencies a long time ago and committed suicide yesterday. This shows that the deceased was depressed for a long time, which is problematic with the evidence collected at the scene and the villagers' oral accounts.

Judging from the scene, the deceased had maintained different relationships with at least three women in the past month. This is why the deceased's adopted daughter would not easily enter the deceased's room. For the adopted daughter, some aunts always came to the adoptive father's house.

Judging from the villagers' oral accounts, the deceased had a normal humanity and was considered to be lively and happy in recent days.

"After all that, it's useless. We still have to investigate it as a homicide. Is that what you mean?" Hua Dong asked.

"Let's go in this direction first." Bai Song nodded: "First analyze the cause of death."

"Drink pesticide" Hua Dong bit his lower lip: "I can say responsibly that there are definitely no traces of struggle in this room. The taste of this pesticide is very unpleasant, even for people who have drunk too much, it is difficult to swallow, and although the deceased drank alcohol And he reached a state of drunkenness, but he was not completely unconscious."

"Yes" Bai Song felt stuck at this step and couldn't understand.

Historically, cases of drinking pesticides were almost always suicides. Pesticides are the worst way to poison people. Again, the purpose of making pesticides is not to poison people. One sip will make you vomit, and the lethal dose is relatively large.

For example, highly toxic pesticides such as paraquat, which have a lethal dose of less than 50 ml, have a very long lethal time, and the person who was poisoned still has enough time to call the police.

There were no signs of struggle at the scene. The deceased's fingerprints were also detected on the bottle, and the mouth of the bottle contained saliva and other secretions of the deceased.

There are various indications that the deceased drank the pesticide on his own initiative, and no other hallucinogenic drugs or other ingredients were detected in the body of the deceased.

"How can there be any high-IQ murder cases in such a remote rural area?" Wang Huadong looked at the heavy snow outside: "Are you too sensitive? Maybe the deceased was really tired of living?"

"To be honest, I really don't believe that such a person would commit suicide," Bai Song said: "When I first started working, of the two suicide cases, one was because I was desperate for my children, and the other was because I felt that I was a failure and had no expectations for the future. One of them is because of love, the other is because of ideals. Apart from them, there is a suicide case."

Bai Song looked around. There was no third person who could hear him: "Have you ever heard that animals can commit suicide?"

"I've heard that some animals will commit suicide when they reach a desperate situation." Hua Dong nodded.

"Well, it's not uncommon for people and animals to commit suicide when they reach a desperate situation. Elderly elephants troubled by diseases, horses covered with locusts, etc. will all do this, but this is something that goes against instinct after all. If an animal If you don't cherish your own life, you will become extinct so early. But this person is far from desperate. Not only that, he is not the kind of person with high spiritual pursuits. I just don't believe that he will commit suicide." Bai Song was a little stubborn. .

"You are a bit unreasonable." Hua Dong shook his head: "Although your psychology is good, the world is not black and white."

"That's right." Bai Song said, "Let's not investigate the scene for now. It's too cold outside and we don't have enough clothes. We'll stay here tonight and wait for Brother Jie and the others to come back in the evening. Let's talk slowly."

"Okay." Hua Dong nodded.

If it weren't for Bai Song, Huadong wouldn't even want to deal with it.

This place is so remote, a murder case involving high IQ? East China doesn’t believe it!

In the afternoon, local police cordoned off the area and then evacuated.

Sun Jie completely completed the autopsy and found nothing abnormal.

In the evening, Political Commissar Wang arranged for everyone to have a Mongolian meal. Since I didn't know the personalities of Bai Song and others, the reception was quite satisfactory. The only difference from the outside was that there was a lot of beef and mutton.

Many people mistakenly think that local beef and mutton are cheap. In fact, because of the excellent quality, the price is not low at all. Generally, in larger restaurants, mutton costs 80 to 100 yuan per pound.

This is a bit like the time Bai Song and the others went on a self-driving trip to Ning Province.

After this dinner, the relationship between the two parties became closer, and Political Commissar Wang also felt that the pressure had dropped sharply.

The local government first determined it to be a suicide. Later, the inspection team from above came to see the case. The local government immediately restarted the investigation of the case, but they were still afraid that there would be problems.

If Bai Song and others discovered at first sight that this was not a suicide case after arriving, then the local leaders must be blamed. But if Bai Song didn't discover the problem on the first day, then even if it was a murder, the local area would have no responsibility.

After all, the experts spent a whole day looking at the scene and found no problems, so there is no shame in the grassroots not being able to find them.

After a simple meal, Bai Song and others went to a hotel in the county to rest, and then the four of them discussed together.

What is the content of the discussion?

"Don't think this shop has a better environment at night than the one at the village committee at noon, but the mutton is not as delicious as the one at noon." Bai Song said.

"Yes, one meal a day is fine, but three meals a day would be a bit unbearable." Sun Jie nodded.

When the two of them went out to play, they were looking for a place to eat by themselves, so they didn't necessarily have to eat mutton. But these two meals were full plates of hand-caught mutton, which was a bit overwhelming.

"What shall we eat tomorrow morning?" Wang Huadong asked.

"Those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year have no choice but to listen to other people's arrangements." Bai Song said, "As long as you come, make peace with it."

"It's true that there aren't many places open during the Chinese New Year. Let's just listen to other people's arrangements tomorrow. This place is not far from Lin Yang, but the living habits are indeed different." Hua Dong nodded.

"Mutton." Bai Song smacked his mouth a few times: "Um, what mutton? Let's talk about the case. It would be boring if we came here and just went back."
