Madness of the Heart

After all, he has been practicing Buddhism for dozens of years. After Hu Chengyi came to the crime team, he was not as cramped and nervous as many old people who had contact with criminal police for the first time, and his eyes were very indifferent.

Xiao Yuan invited him to the lounge, made a pot of tea, and asked about the details of Mingshu's hurried oversight. Hu Chengyi was very cooperative and described the compassionate and tolerant Master Pingchen in his memory before going down the mountain. And when the teenager that Gyechen had saved, he said a few more words, "The child was very poor. He fell off the cliff and almost died. Gyechen understands some medical techniques, but he can't heal such a serious injury. I can take the child to the hospital in the town, but that child turned out to be a "black household"."

"'Black household'?" Xiao Yuan asked: "How old is the child? What year was the fall from the cliff?"

Hu Chengyi thought for a while, "It's only about 16 years old, which year... 20 years ago, or 21 years ago, I really can't remember."

Qin Xiong's missing brother, Qin Ying, disappeared 21 years ago in the year Qin Ke was born.

At the age of 16, a "black household", both of these points can be matched.

Xiao Yuan asked again: "The reason for falling off the cliff?"

Hu Chengyi said: "I guess someone pushed him down."

"Guess?" Xiao Yuan said, "He didn't tell you clearly?"

"He won't tell." Hu Chengyi sighed, "In the mountains we are most familiar with, that cliff, no one will go up. I have seen it, there are many trampling marks nearby, it is not like a person stepped on it. He fell under the cliff. At that time, everyone was suffocated. Why did he lie there for more than a day during the battle."

Xiao Yuan said: "What's his name? Didn't he stay in Haijing Temple anymore?"

"There is an'English' in his name, the hero's'English'." Hu Chengyi said: "As for the last name, he doesn't want to say it, and we didn't force him to say it."

Ying, Qin Ying?

He didn't want to say his surname because he was discouraged and wanted to cut off his relationship with the Qin family?

Because the one who pushed him off the cliff was Qin Xiong?

Xiao Yuan thought about it for a moment, and then said, "He was a ‘black household’, how did he deal with it later?"

"Nothing." Hu Chengyi said, "As soon as the hospital saw that we were monks, the green light was given and the child was admitted to the hospital. I think about it, he has been in the hospital for two months, and he will be with us after he is discharged. life."

Xiao Yuan said, "Didn't register at the police station?"

Hu Chengyi smiled bitterly, "We didn't register at that time. He was a child, what did he register?"

"How long did he stay in Haijing Temple?" Xiao Yuan asked, "Did anything happen during this time?"

Hu Chengyi said: "What do you mean?"

"For example, he went down the mountain to find someone, or someone went up the mountain to find him."

"He hasn't been down the mountain, but I remember some outsiders have come."

Xiao Yuan said, "Who is it?"

"I don't know who it is." Hu Chengyi shook his head. "There were few people who came to the mountain at that time. There were almost no pilgrims. Occasionally, monks from other monasteries came to alms. That person was not a pilgrim, a monk, or a monk. , And asked if we had ever seen a boy about 16 years old, so I remember him."

If Qin Ying was pushed down the cliff by Qin Xiong, then this strange visitor would be Qin Xiong with eight achievements.

Xiao Yuan asked: "How do you answer?"

Hu Chengyi smiled, "The child told Qiechen early in the morning that if anyone came to look for him, they said they didn’t know or hadn’t seen him. In fact, he made this unnecessary move. Even if he didn’t explain it, Qiechen wouldn’t let him go. Tell the suspicious person about the existence of. Yuchen asked him if he would stay in the temple to practice the Dharma. He didn't agree, and he left after his body fully recovered."

Xiao Yuan said, "When is it roughly?"

"After half a year." Hu Chengyi said: "I never saw him again afterwards, and Jingchen never mentioned him again."

Xiao Yuan asked: "Do you still remember his looks?"

Hu Chengyi closed his eyes, recalled for a long time, and said regretfully: "I can't remember clearly."

Xiao Yuan retrieved the photo hidden in the frame by Qin Ke from his mobile phone—this is the only photo of Qin Ying currently in the possession of the police.

Passing the photo to Hu Chengyi, Xiao Yuan said, "Is it him?"

Hu Chengyi took the phone and looked at it for a long time, "Like, the more you look, the more you look."

Xiao Yuan recalled Qin Xiong's young photos, "What about this one? Do you have any impression?"

Hu Chengyi watched it longer this time, "I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where it was."

Xiao Yuan said, "Think about it again. Doesn't this look like the person who went up the mountain and asked you, "Have you ever seen a 16-year-old boy?"

Hu Chengyi's loose eyelids suddenly supported, and he said for a while: "I'm sorry, my brain is out of use."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan put away the photo, did not press Hu Chengyi, smiled gently, "You have provided us with very important clues."

"Really?" Hu Chengyi sighed softly, nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

Sending away Hu Chengyi, Xiao Yu stood quietly in front of the window.

The 16-year-old boy described by Hu Chengyi is almost always Qin Ying.

It turns out that Qin Ying's so-called "disappearance" was being pushed down from the cliff of Qiyue Mountain.

Hu Chengyi can't remember the appearance of the person who went up the mountain to look for Qin Ying. This is normal. On the one hand, if Hu Chengyi can see Qin Xiong's photo in 20 years' time, he will say "Yes, that's him." problem.

The truth is gradually emerging from fragmented clues-

Twenty-one years ago, Huang Hui was pregnant. There were too many people in the bottom family, and one more person would have one more mouth. Qin Xiong endured Qin Ying’s inexplicable younger brother for many years, and finally got upset when his child was about to be born. He can allow Qin Ying to **** things that belong to him, but he cannot allow Qin Ying to **** things from his wife and children.

Qin Ying is still young, a minor, and has no defensive heart against her family. Qin Xiong deceived Qin Ying to Qiyue Mountain for some reason—for example, climbing with his brother, or accompanying him to a temple in the mountains to pray for the unborn child—to deceive Qin Ying to Qiyue Mountain. cliff.

There was no movement under the cliff for a long time. According to Qin Xiong, Qin Ying either broke her neck and died on the spot, or was seriously injured and could not save herself.

He chose this mountain because it is almost inhabited and only has a monastery halfway up the mountain.

The mountain is so big, those monks will not be able to patrol the mountain, let alone be so coincidental that they found Qin Ying under the cliff.

Without anyone finding out, Qin Ying would not survive even if he did not die immediately.

Qin Xiong may have considered going down to the cliff in person. If Qin Ying is already dead, that would be great. If Qin Ying has a breath, he has other ways to kill Qin Ying, and then put Qin Ying on the spot. Bury it to avoid future troubles.

But he dare not.

That is a living person.

It is compelling to get rid of Qin Ying. For his little family, for the child who is about to be born, he wished that Qin Ying would die immediately, but he did not dare to look at Qin Ying's body.

So, after wandering for a long time, Qin Xiong chose to leave.

Qin Ying's disappearance makes the Qin family sad.

It is very likely that Qin Anqiang and Bai Hong knew that the younger son's disappearance was caused by the older son, so they did not dare to call the police or even ask their neighbors to help find them.

Qin Xiong later returned to Qiyue Mountain, indicating that he was still worried that Qin Ying was not dead.

And Qin Ying did survive.

Qin Ying left Haijing Temple more than half a year after being rescued. Judging by the age of 16 at that time, Qin Ying should be 37 years old now.

Hu Chengying didn't know where Qin Ying went after going down the mountain, but what is certain is that Qin Ying has never returned to Haijing Temple.

Did Qin Ying return from a certain place and kill everyone in the Qin family except Qin Xu?

Han Province, Mingliang County.

Ming Shu slammed the door and looked up at the low commercial building in front of him.

Mingliang County is under the jurisdiction of Luocheng, far away from Mu Haiyuan's hometown of Fucheng. After careful visits, the crime team finally determined that Li Feihe, a nanny who had worked in the Mou family for seven years, is now living in Mingliang County.

The commercial houses in the small county were built short, and there was no elevator inside. Ming Shu took the stairs and knocked on the 4-1 door.

It was a little boy who opened the door, looking up curiously: "Uncle, who are you looking for?"

An old woman in her sixties came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and said vigilantly: "Weiwei, how can you open the door casually?"

Ming Shu directly showed his ID, "Are you Li Feihe?"

The old woman was surprised at first, then panicked: "Did Xiaocheng have an accident?"

Ming Shu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with your son. I came to you to understand Mu Haiyuan's family affairs with you."

Li Feihe's eyes widened, and after a moment he said, "It's not Xiaocheng's accident, so you can come in."

After entering the room, Ming Shu looked around. The location and decoration of this house are pretty good in Mingliang County, and Li Feihe's life should be pretty good now.

Li Feihe was a little cramped, "I haven't worked in the Mou's family for a long time, and I am not very clear about their family's affairs."

Ming Shu said: "You don't need to be nervous. I will ask you a few questions. If you know how much you know, just answer it honestly."

Li Feihe nodded.

Mingshu asked, "Mu Haiyuan hired you to take care of his parents?"

Li Feihe said: "Yes. My sons and daughters were all working in Fucheng at the time. When I was idle, I just hung up in the housekeeping company to find work. Mr. Mou saw my hands and feet and good reputation, so he asked me to work at his home."

Ming Shu asked, "Has he asked you anything?"

"Requirement?" Li Feihe thought for a while, "that is, be careful and patient with the elderly."

"Mou Haiyuan never visits his parents?"

"This……"

Ming Shu's index finger tapped lightly on the table, a small movement that implied power.

Li Feihe hesitated: "Mr. Mou actually..."

Ming Shu looked at Li Feihe's eyes and slowly said, "You have taken care of Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua for seven years, and have been together day and night. Whether this home is a real home or not, you already know it in your heart, right?"

Li Feihe's face changed slightly, and he nodded half a minute later.

"You have a pair of children, and your grandchildren will be taken by you. Your children will never stay away from visiting you for a long time." Ming Shu said: "This is the normal way of getting along with a family, but the Mou family, Mu Qinzhi and He Yinghua are with you. The same, unlike Mu Haiyuan’s parents, it’s more like being hired by Mu Haiyuan, right?"

After a long silence, Li Feihe sighed, "They, they are indeed not Mr. Mou's parents. I don't know what to say about this matter."

Ming Shu didn't urge, but waited for Li Feihe's next words.

"I just felt something wrong with this at first, and didn't think about it." Li Feihe clutched his apron tightly, "Before I went to work in the Mou family, I also worked in other homes. In those days, I could afford a babysitter. The family is quite rich, similar to the Mou family. But no matter how rich, the family is happy, at least the parents will not be afraid of their children. The Mou family...I never saw Mr. Mou come back several times, every time he came back, Mu Qin Zhi and He Yinghua are very restrained. It seems that it is not the son who came back, but the owner. Moreover, they are very different from the old people in the rich family that I have contacted before. They don't communicate with their neighbors, they hardly go out, and they have no culture."

"Later, I stayed in Mou's house for a long time, and became more and more familiar with He Yinghua, and often chatted with her. She treated me as her own, and only then told me one thing." Li Feihe swallowed, "she said. She and Mou Qinzhi are not Mr. Mou's parents at all."

Ming Shu asked: "Then do you know their true identity?"

Li Feihe said: "I know, they are from a small city to the south, living in the countryside, and they signed an agreement with Mr. Mou to act as parents for Mr. Mou."

"How did Mu Haiyuan find them?" Ming Shu asked, "Where are Mou Haiyuan's own parents?"

Li Feihe shook his head, "I don't know these things. Mou Qinzhi seldom speaks. Every time He Yinghua finishes chatting with me, he always tells me not to tell others. After they passed away, this matter was rotten in my heart. , I have never chewed the tongue with anyone. If you are not a policeman, I will not tell you."

Ming Shu asked again: "What are the real names of Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua?"

Li Feihe said: "That is their real name."

Mingshu said, "Which small city is the southern small city you just mentioned?"

"I can't remember for a while." Li Feihe pressed his forehead, "Liang, Liang what..."

Ming Shu said, "Liang Xizhen?"

"Yes, yes, it's Liangxi Town." Li Feihe said, "but it's not in the town, but in the countryside below."

Liangxi Town is the hometown of Yin Xiaofeng. Six years ago, when Kuachen returned from "Wandering in the Clouds" with Yin Xiaofeng, it is very likely that Kuachen at that time was no longer the real Kuachen, and became Mou Haiyuan.

Mou Haiyuan's false parents also came from Liangxi Town.

"Mr. Mou is very generous. Although the family does not live with his biological parents, he has treated them well enough. At least he has never treated them materially." Li Feihe continued, "The salary for me is also high. After Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua passed away, I lost my job. He gave me a sum of money to let me go back to my hometown and live in peace and stability. You see, if it weren't for Mr. Mou, I couldn't afford such a good house. "

"Wait a minute." Ming Shu said, "Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua really died of natural diseases?"

"Do you suspect that Mr. Mou killed them? How could it be possible." Li Feihe shook his head, "It's really sick. I take care of them. Can I still be unclear? People are getting old and all the problems have come out. It's not to blame Mr. Mou. ..."

Leaving Li Feihe's house, Ming Shu sat in the car and played with cigarette cases.

There were still a few cigarettes in the box, but he didn't smoke.

Mou Haiyuan’s filial parents in front of outsiders are not his real parents. To create a high-quality image of himself, the best policy for Mou Haiyuan is to take his biological parents around. He did not do this. There are only two possibilities. One is that his biological parents are no longer alive. , Second, for some reason, he could not bring his biological parents to live with him.

In shaping the "personal design" of a filial son, Mou Haiyuan also insisted that he was the only son.

The fact is that the master Xiaochen in Haijing Temple is probably his twin brother.

Ming Shu took apart the cigarette case and smashed the cigarettes one by one in a short time.

Even with a large number of suspects with psychological distortions, Ming Shu still couldn't grasp Mou Haiyuan's mentality. Hiring a pair of fake parents can be understood as a career need, but after retiring, letting a prosperous life, but why go to Haijing Temple to "replace" your brother?

Furthermore, Mu Haiyuan always knew that the abbot of Haijing Temple was his brother?

In Hu Chengyi's eyes, the Jiechen seven years ago represented compassion, but the returning Jiechen was gloomy and elusive. This is the difference between the real Jiechen and Mou Haiyuan.

The phone rang, Ming Shu picked it up to see that it was Yi Fei.

Everyone in the serious crime team divided the work and cooperated, and Yi Fei led the team to investigate the interpersonal relationship of Mou Haiyuan in the film circle.

"I found something." Yi Fei said, "When will you be back?"

Ming Shu said: "Just talk on the phone, save time, I can think about it on the way."

"All right." Yi Fei said: "You childhood idol, I am far less noble than the character portrayed on the screen."

Ming Shu wanted to refute the sentence "Mou Haiyuan is not my childhood idol", but at this time he has no thoughts, leaning back in his chair and listening to Yi fly down and say.

Before stepping into the film industry, Mou Haiyuan was a student of a martial arts school in Han Province. Now, this school no longer exists.

Chen Shaoxing was the first person Mou Haiyuan met in the circle. This person also came from a martial arts school and was not as popular as Mou Haiyuan in the movie circle.

Thanks to his youthful martial arts training, Mr. Chen is now physically strong and energetic. After seeing Yi Fei, he still eagerly wants to do two tricks with Yi Fei.

According to him, when Mu Haiyuan was still in the martial arts school, he said many times that in the future, as long as he became a leader, he must let his parents lead a good life.

This point is consistent with Mou Haiyuan's later words and deeds.

However, Chen Shaoxing remembered that Mu Haiyuan had been extremely depressed for a while. He asked the reason, and Mu Haiyuan nearly collapsed and said that his father had passed away.

Yi Fei repeatedly confirmed to Chen Shaoxing, "Mou Haiyuan really said that?"

"I have said." Chen Shaoxing said: "So I found it strange that he appeared in public with his parents later. But at that time, Mou Haiyuan and I were already estranged. I can only guess that his father might be His mother later remarried."

In Chen Shaoxing's memory, Mou Haiyuan was often anxious before he became famous. Almost all the reasons for his anxiety came from the delay in giving his parents a stable living environment.

The information Yi Fei got from Chen Shaoxing boils down to the fact that Mou Haiyuan is a true filial son.

However, after Mu Haiyuan became famous, those in the circle who knew the "insiders" did not think so highly of him.

"Mu Haiyuan has serious violent tendencies." said an employee of a brokerage company who used to work for Mu Haiyuan. No matter when he was an actor in filming, or later as a martial arts instructor and director, he often resorted to acts of violence, but the media industry did not. As developed as it is now, the actors who are beaten are all "soft persimmons", so such incidents have never been exposed.

In addition to resorting to drama and violence, Mou Haiyuan sometimes beats people in his team.

The employee showed an old scar on his back, claiming that it was caused by Mu Haiyuan, who paid for the medical expenses and the so-called "hush money."

"I didn't spread rumors, you will know if you ask a few more people, Mou Haiyuan is a scumbag. I heard that he has been missing for many years, maybe he was killed by his enemy."

Yi Fei also found many people who had served Mu Haiyuan back then, and their statements were similar. One of them even revealed that Mou Haiyuan had the habit of bullying men and women.

"Xiao Lan'er, the young lady of the previous generation of actors, you young people may have never heard of her, she was insulted by Mu Haiyuan."

Xiao Lan'er has passed away, but her husband Lin Yi is still alive.

Hearing the name "Mou Haiyuan", Lin Yi was silent for a long time. He was very old, and his eyes were muddy like old people.

But Yi Fei saw anger, unwillingness, and regret from those muddy eyes.

"I should have killed him back then." Lin Yi muttered, "I made Lan'er wronged."

The film industry in the past may not be much cleaner than the current entertainment industry. Lin Yi was also an actor, but he was an unknown actor. When Xiao Lan'er married Lin Yi, the newspaper wrote "marry down", and at that time , Xiao Lan'er and Mou Haiyuan collaborated on two films in succession.

Lin Yi didn't tell Yi Fei clearly that my wife was indeed defiled by Mu Haiyuan, but she talked a lot about Xiao Lan'er, and finally said with self-comfort: "Lan'er is not the only victim."

Yi Fei asked: "Mu Haiyuan still insulted other actresses?"

Lin Yi no longer answered.

"He tends to be violent and uses actions to force actresses. Mu Haiyuan's black material is more than that." Yi Fei continued: "But the latter point, in their circle, is actually not a black material."

Ming Shu said, "Don't sell offenses."

"Scramble for resources with competitors." Yi Fei said: "In the past, there were many martial arts actors, just like in our era, there are surprisingly many "Little Fresh Meat". It is not so easy to come up with ideas. In his early years, Mu Haiyuan used a lot of resources to obtain resources. means."

Ming Shu suddenly thought of something, "Then what happened to those people who lost to Mou Haiyuan in the competition?"

"I haven't had time to check them one by one." Yi Fei said: "But in any line, especially in the low-level competition, the losers are very miserable."

After hanging up, Ming Shu crawled on the steering wheel and gradually grasped the key.

The monks in Haijing Temple temporarily set aside Hu Chengyi, Liu Sui, and Tang Yuan who had been a monk a long time ago, and only looked at Yin Xiaofeng, Chang Qingying, Chu Jiang, Wang Lu, Chu Xin, and Fang Pingxu who entered the temple later.

Yin Xiaofeng and Fang Pingxu are psychologically distorted and have serious violent tendencies.

Chang Qingying used insidious tricks in the workplace, which indirectly led to the death of colleagues.

Chu Jiang took the lead in frivolous widows, and indirectly caused the widows to commit suicide.

Wang Lu is idle, does not know how to honor his parents, and is angry with his father.

As for Chu Xin, it was probably an accident that this person came to Haijing Temple.

Except for Chu Xin, the characteristics of the above five people can all be found in Mou Haiyuan. The more far-fetched one is Wang Lu, but how exactly Mu Haiyuan's biological parents died is still unknown. If they died because of Mu Haiyuan, then this is the point. It's not far-fetched.

Mu Haiyuan disappeared in order to gather these people who share the sins with him, and then wipe them out one by one?

what is this?

Is it another way of "atonement"?
