Chapter 6: He Jiali X Pyloric Stenosis

  I and Kui Ruo Lan quickly returned to the Wu Xie Society. As soon as we entered, I saw Chen Qiuyang's stout figure standing in the hall, grinning from ear to ear while reporting something to Zou Guanjia, and judging by his beaming expression, he must have gathered many very useful clues.

  "Boss, boss you're back! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" - Although Chen Qiuyang looked like a tall and powerful big man with a lot of fat, his tone was something I couldn't stand, it was very feminine, in simpler terms, too girly.

  Regarding Chen Qiuyang's mother, I once had a very gossipy but also very in-depth and valuable discussion with Kui Rulan:

  I said: "Is Chen Qiuyang having too much estrogen in his body? Why is he about the same height as you, but looks so masculine on the outside, yet has such a feminine tone and behavior?"

  Jasmine gave me a disdainful look and said, "You're such an old-fashioned guy. Now the most popular type is this neutral kind. Men who are too manly aren't in style anymore."

  I said: "I also understand, but now this neutral wind refers to the beautiful men, is a very neutral and beautiful appearance, like Wu Yifan and others, but not Chen Qiuyang who has a very masculine appearance but a tone of voice that is so Lin Zhiling, this huge contrast really makes me uncomfortable."

  Kui Ruo Lan thought for a moment and said very seriously to me: "Zhu Thirteen, what you said seems to make sense too."

  Alright, now that we're back on track, I sat down with Kui Ruo Lan and was just about to listen to Chen Qiu Yang's lead when Zou Guan Jia spoke up first: "Thirteen, you and Ruo Lan went to investigate, did you find out anything?"

  I detailed our investigation to Zou Guanjia, especially the incident where Yang Hong was holding a paper-made black monkey on Christmas Eve. Because my intuition told me that this matter had a very suspicious and eerie point.

  I didn't expect that when Zou Guan Jia heard me mention "Black Monkey", his reaction was extremely intense, completely beyond my imagination.

  "Thirteen, what did you say? You said black monkey?" Zou Guan Jia completely lost his usual serious and simple demeanor. His eyes bulged out like two protruding glass balls covered in fine red blood vessels on the surface. His tone was also abnormal, slightly trembling, revealing an unusually terrified emotion.

  I was slightly startled and asked in puzzlement: "Zou Guanjia, why did you react so violently when you heard the black monkey? Did you know something?"

  After being questioned by me like this, Zou Guan Jia finally realized his own loss of composure and immediately calmed down his emotions, restoring his usual butler demeanor.

  I knew that Zou Guanjia must have known something, so I continued to ask him: "Zou Guanjia, it was you who asked us to investigate the case of Yang Hong's murder. If you know something we don't, can you also tell us?"

  Zou Guanjia slowly shook his head and said, "I do know some things about the black monkey. But I can tell you very certainly that what I know has nothing to do with Yang Hong's case."

  I knew that continuing to ask would be futile, given Zhao's stubborn personality. I wouldn't gain anything from it, so I gave up and turned to ask Qiuyang: "Qiuyang, what leads did you get?"

  Chen Qiuyang pouted once, twisted her plump waist once, raised an eyebrow once, and then said: "Director, I know that Lanlan went to investigate Dr. Ruan Defeng and the property management's Lai Baoan, so our investigation direction is different from yours. Based on my self-created Chen's principle, I investigated the resident of 1301 on the 12th floor, named He Jiali, 35 years old, also from Hong Kong."

  "It's no surprise that they're from Hong Kong," said Wei Ruolan. "The residents of those luxurious buildings are either rich or noble, and many of them are Taiwanese or Hong Kong businesspeople."

  Chen Qiuyang was slightly dissatisfied that Ruo Lan had interrupted him, pouted again, swallowed his saliva and continued: "But what I found out is that before Yang Hong bought the Fuli Building, when he lived in Bao Hao Garden, the resident upstairs was still He Jiali."

  I stood up and said: "Autumn Sun, you're indeed formidable, even this has been investigated by you!"

  Chen Qiuyang narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said with great satisfaction: "Needless to say, I didn't do 42 jobs after graduating from police school for nothing. My social circle is wide! I just need to ask my old friends in the real estate industry to make a simple inquiry."

  Kui Ruo Lan picked up the water cup and took a sip, saying: "This is indeed very strange. Logically speaking, He Jiali should be acquainted with Yang Hong, but strangely, during my investigation, all the residents of Fuli Building said they had never seen Yang Hong having any dealings with anyone else."

  Chen Qiuyang clapped his hands, then pointed at Kui Rulan and said: "That's right! Because I also went to Bao Hao Garden for investigation, those old residents also insisted that Yang Hong lived there for three years without contacting anyone, including He Jiali. Even if they were secretly dating, it's impossible that no one would see them."

  "I said: 'Putting everything together like this, He Jiali is indeed very suspicious. Let's go find her immediately.'"

  Chen Qiuyang regretfully stretched out his hands and sighed, "It's too late. After Yang Hong had an accident, He Jiali disappeared. It's very likely that she has already returned to Hong Kong."

  I slapped my thigh and said, "It's settled then, the murderer is definitely her! I told you, Rouran, in Yang Hong's room, didn't I? The person upstairs hung a rope from the window above and somehow used a magical method to enter Yang Hong's room, killed him, and then escaped in fear of punishment! Hurry up and inform Officer Dong, let him seal off the Shenzhen border crossing, prevent her from escaping back to Hong Kong."

  Kui Ruo Lan gave me a disdainful look and snorted, "Thirteen, you really think this is a Hong Kong movie, sealing off the customs! Even if she and Yang Hong have some temporary inexplicable relationship that we can't explain, it doesn't mean she's the murderer. And how could a woman in her 30s be so fierce as to swing down from a rope and jump into a 12th floor room? This isn't a scene from 'Spy vs Spy'."

  The fax machine in the corner of the hall just rang out at this time, Zou Guanjia came to the fax machine, picked up two fax documents, browsed through them, and said: "It's a fax from Dong Police Officer, it's Yang Hong's forensic autopsy report."

  Kui Ruo Lan immediately jumped up from the sofa and took a few steps to Zou Guan Jia's side, taking over the autopsy report, asking me: "Thirteen, do you want to take a look?"

  It was the first time I had a chance to come into contact with an autopsy report, so I asked timidly: "There aren't any photos taken during the dissection of the body on it, are there? I don't dare look..."

  "Ai Ruolan said mercilessly, 'How can you, who are as timid as a mouse, be the president of Wu Xie Society?' while throwing those two fax papers at me."

  The entire white paper is filled with dense and crowded words, without a single photo.

  The cause of death is almost the same as what the police officer in Dongguan told us, which is excessive bleeding. The fatal injury was a slash wound on the abdomen that cut open the belly. The intestines pulled out from the body were not ruptured. The time of death was between 3:00 and 4:00 am. According to chemical tests, Yang's stomach and intestines contained digested bananas, yogurt, and some common chemicals.

  N-(2-bromo-4,5-dimethylphenyl)-N-[2-(dimethylamino)-2-oxoethoxy]ethyl morpholine bromide, molecular formula: C26H41O4Br2 —— Among those chemical substances, there was a chemical substance with a very long name that caught my attention. I pointed to the chemical substance and said, "This chemical substance looks very strange, is it poisonous?"

  Chen Qiuyang thought I had found a new clue on the autopsy report, and he brought his fat face closer, saying: "What kind of poison? Cyanide?"

  After he finished looking at the chemical substance I was pointing at, he burst out laughing and said: "Boss, you're really a liberal arts student, haha, this isn't a toxic chemical substance, this is the effective component of Pivoxil Bromide tablets. To put it simply, this is an effective medicine for treating gastrointestinal diseases."

  I stared at Chen Qiuyang in amazement and said, "Even if it's not a liberal arts student, ordinary people wouldn't know what these ghost things are. How do you know so much?"

  Chen Qiuyang threw a glance at me, making my skin crawl all over. He said: "I didn't waste my time after graduating from the police academy, I've had 42 jobs."

  I: ……

  Chen Qiuyang said: "The main function of Pinaverium bromide is to treat symptoms related to gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as pain, abnormal bowel movements and gastrointestinal discomfort. Didn't you say that Yang Hong has been suffering from gastrointestinal disease and went to see Dr. Ruan in the digestive system department of traditional Chinese medicine?"

  Reminded by Chen Qiuyang, my mind quickly flashed through the scenes frame by frame, and a doubt condensed in my mind like a small bomb, suddenly exploding with dazzling white light. I shouted loudly: "There is indeed something wrong with this autopsy report, no, it's Ruan Defeng who has problems!"
