An hour ago, in the cri scene investigation laboratory.
Lu Chuan and a few others were discussing.
"The incense at Liang Dezhong’s ho is definitely homade. Look at these incenses, they vary in thickness and are quite rough in craftsmanship."
Old Bai took out a stick of incense, observed it for a mont in the light, and made a conclusion.
Regarding the incense, it was Yang Sen who made a major contribution.
After Liang Dezhong was arrested, the other tenants in the rented house were also taken away for questioning, and the entire building was sealed off. After finding the murder weapon and other clothing and shoes belonging to Liang Dezhong, the action team also discovered the site of the Mutual Aid Association’s rituals.
It was located in a room on the top floor of the entire building, on the inside.
After a quick inspection, the on-site detectives still called for the cri scene investigation team to co over and take a look.
Old Yang and Old Bai ca over at that ti.
The scene was nothing remarkable, quite empty in fact, with a sacrificial altar in the middle, and so ghost talismans with symbols that the average person couldn’t understand.
Besides these, there were so bloodstains that hadn’t been cleaned up in ti.
There was also incense hanging above the altar.
In Haizhou City this season, although there are insects, there aren’t many, so typically, people don’t light incense. Moreover, the incense was hanging directly above the altar, which made it very conspicuous.
Old Yang found it sowhat strange and took so back for testing. As a result, he discovered sothing.
"I researched a bit, the hallucinogenic substance in the incense isn’t artificially synthesized, but naturally occurs within a type of fungus."
Lu Chuan handed out the already printed materials to the three of them: "This type of fungus is called Psilocybe, mostly growing in the mountains of southern Yun Province."
Yun Province?
Liu Guodong and the others flipped through the materials while listening to Lu Chuan’s explanation.
"Different poisonous mushrooms cause different symptoms after being ingested, so cause electrolyte imbalance, others cause hemolysis, so induce vomiting and dizziness, and so cause hallucinations."
"The effect of the Psilocybe contained in the incense at Liang Dezhong’s ho leads to neurotoxicity and can cause certain hallucinations."
"Due to the very low concentration of Psilocybe in the incense, and since it’s not consud directly but inhaled as gas during burning, the hallucinogenic effect is not particularly noticeable."
"People who inhale this might fall into a state of numbness with dull and confused thinking."
"Are you suggesting... that Liang Dezhong used this to control the people in the Mutual Aid Association?"
Liu Guodong imdiately grasped the implication in Lu Chuan’s words.
"I think it’s possible. After all, according to Sun Qigang, their worship rituals beca quite bloody later on, and eventually, they even used human blood for rituals. It’s difficult for a person of sound mind to self-harm."
"I just communicated with the action team, and during interrogation, they found self-inflicted injuries on the arms and legs of those tenants, so of which are quite fresh."
"If Liang Dezhong didn’t use so special thod, I don’t think they would have done this."
"So, we need to investigate carefully how this incense ca about."
After roughly understanding the situation, Liu Guodong reported to Qin Yong.
Zhang Hui entered the interrogation room for the second ti.
"Liang Dezhong, let’s talk about your Mutual Aid Association this ti."
"What’s there to say? It’s just an organization for mutual support."
"Mutual support?"
Zhang Hui sneered, "Liang Dezhong, you know better than anyone about the cris you’ve committed. Four lives, do you know what offense this behavior of yours entails?"
"Hehe, what’s unclear, isn’t it just death? Everyone dies eventually, don’t you think so?"
"You seem to have co to terms with it, but one thing we don’t understand, why is this Mutual Aid Association putting money into itself without any return?"
"We found a lot of ritual superstitious DVDs in your room, where did these co from?"
"Additionally, where did the incense hanging in the ritual room co from?"
"Those things were bought online, you can check the courier records anyti."
"As for the incense, I bought it from soone when I traveled to Yun Province last year."
"That person told that after lighting this incense, others would listen to you. I was skeptical at first, but later tried it during the Mutual Aid Association and it worked quite effectively."
"So, for every ritual, I would light so incense. When they perford the bloodletting rituals, they looked utterly pleased, I found it quite effective."
"And you were not affected?"
"Eat cilantro, eating a handful of cilantro in advance keeps you from being affected."
"Do you have the contact information of the person who sold the incense in Yun Province?"
"Yes, it’s in my phone, I’ve had him mail it to twice."
The interrogation with Liang Dezhong went quite smoothly. He explained almost everything he knew clearly.
Perhaps this is what they say about a person speaking kindly at the end of their life.
Zhang Hui had interrogated many suspects who were sentenced to death.
Most suspects who committed serious cris had a characteristic, they were particularly tight-lipped before confession, disclosing nothing regardless of the interrogation.
But once a breakthrough was achieved and substantial evidence was obtained, they would confess everything, and their emotions beca relatively calm.
The information provided by Liang Dezhong was quickly verified.
The DVDs he bought were indeed acquired online, and through the seller’s address information, the action team rapidly locked in these clues.
Selling such prohibited items is illegal, and due to stricter regulation, these banned DVDs or books are now quite rare in so offline stores.
Yet online, there are still a few fish that slip through the net, and they are dealt with as soon as they are detected.
"We shouldn’t follow up on this lead ourselves, best to transfer it to the local public security bureau for them to handle."
Qin Yong made the decision; this case isn’t major, involving so banned DVDs and books to be confiscated completely, only needing so public security punishnt maybe to resolve it.
The specifics depend on exactly how much the other party sold; if it’s a large volu, they might end up serving a few years.
The Criminal Investigation Team focuses primarily on the incense purchased by Liang Dezhong in Yun Province.
According to Liang Dezhong’s statent, these incense sticks were pricey, costing 500 yuan each.
Just from Liang Dezhong alone, 5,000 yuan was spent purchasing these incense sticks over there.
It’s conceivable that they couldn’t have sold only to Liang Dezhong, thus the value involved in this case could be exceptionally large.
Furthermore, Qin Yong had heard about the situation in Yun Province, being close to the border, it’s traditionally been a major entry route for unlawful goods entering the mainland.
So, should they tackle this case themselves, or hand it over to the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau Anti-drug Detachnt?
If they handle it themselves and succeed, it would definitely count as a rit.
Transferred to the Anti-drug Detachnt, though under the sa Haizhou City Public Security Bureau, solving the case would an the credit and reward would not leave them empty-handed.
What should they do, indeed?
