Madness of the Heart

"Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong in Qiyue Mountain? Then she was rescued by Qiyue?"

When Ming Shu returned to Dongye City, he wanted to tell Xiao Yu'an what he wanted along the way, but he learned this important clue from Xiao Yu'an.

"Doctor Hu Cheng is now under our protection and will not leave Dongye City for the time being. If you have other questions, you can continue to ask him." Xiao Yuan threw a towel to Ming Shu. "I have shown Doctor Hu Cheng After reviewing the photos collected by Qin Ke, Hu Chengyi confirmed that what he saw at Haijing Temple 21 years ago was the boy in the photo."

Ming Shu took the towel, wiped it on his newly washed face, then put it on his shoulder, "21 years ago...Xiao Ju, 21 years ago, it was not only Hu Chengyi who practiced in Haijing Temple 21 years ago!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "So I asked Liu Sui and Tang Yuan again later, Liu Sui can't remember, but Tang Yuan still remembers."

Ming Shu leaned against the sink, dripping water from his wet forehead, "Qin Ying is still a ‘black house’ until he leaves Haijing Temple. Where might he go?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Assuming that it was Qin Ying who killed the four of 5-8, and Qin Ying came back to get revenge, then he was brewing for 20 years. Twenty years ago, Qin Ying was about 17 years old and now 37 years old. This timeline is too stretched. Long. In the past 20 years, how did he hide himself? Why did he wait so long?"

"37 years old." A figure flashed across Ming Shu's mind, "I thought of someone."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

Ming Shu said: "The boss of'Cheng Jianghu'!"

Xiao Yuan said: "You just think that the age of the boss of'Cheng Jianghu' matches that of Qin Ying."

Ming Shu shook his head, "More than that.'Cheng Jianghu' became popular too quickly. It has only been two months since its opening, and it has forced the'Baby Shrimp' almost no business to do. This is incredible. When I checked Shachun's case, I I have been to'Baby Shrimp' personally. At the time,'Cheng Jianghu' was still very inconspicuous.'Baby Shrimp' was the most popular shop on Longcheng Road. I have always cared about this. But first, during the initial investigation,'Cheng Jianghu' We investigated and found nothing unusual. Secondly, I couldn't think of any motives for'Cheng Jianghu', so I didn't dig deep into this line."

Xiao Yuan asked: "Have you found the motive of'Cheng Jianghu' now?"

"Is this unclear?" Ming Shu said, "Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong and survived a catastrophe. Now he is back to avenge Qin Xiong's family."

Xiao Yuan took off the towel from Mingshu's shoulder, folded it into a square, and placed it on top of Mingshu's head. "The speed at which'Cheng Jianghu' became popular is indeed suspicious. Even with Qiu Min's recommended video as a blessing, it is too fast. Maybe there is something we don’t know about. But if the boss of'Cheng Jianghu' is Qin Ying, and his ultimate goal is to kill Qin Xiong’s family for revenge, then instead of hiding himself, he will expose himself before then. Come out, what is the reason?"

Ming Shu concentrated on the case, but didn't notice a towel on his head.

The timing of the emergence of "Cheng Jianghu" and the impact after it appeared are hard to care about. Before the Qin Xiong family’s accident, the Internet began to talk about "Cheng Jianghu" replacing "Shrimp Baby". After the murder, "Cheng Jianghu" was pushed to a very embarrassing position, not only because its business was "unlucky". As a result, the nearby residents were idle, and they speculated randomly whether the death of Qin Xiong's family was related to competition on the same street.

Qin Ying wanted revenge and opened a shop next to "Baby Shrimp" and opened such a high profile, which is totally unnecessary.

But this is just an outsider's idea!

"No, we didn't fully understand the psychology of an avenger." Ming Shu frowned, "I have another idea."

Xiao Yuan said: "Tell me about it."

"With Qin Ying's hatred of Qin Xiong, he may not be satisfied with just killing Qin Xiong's family." Ming Shu said: "He still wants to'destroy' Qin Xiong.'Baby Shrimp' is a career that Qin Xiong is proud of. After Qin’s two elders passed away, Qin Xiong used the savings of the two elders to open a restaurant. This restaurant is the predecessor of "Xiabaobao". Qin Ying has been in ambush for 20 years. The investigation must have been investigated. It’s clear that he knows Qin Xiong’s fortune more than we do. In his eyes, "Baby Shrimp" **** his blood and grows up with the blood of his parents. So before he wants the life of Qin Xiong’s family, he And destroy the'baby shrimp'."

After speaking in one breath, Ming Shu looked into Xiao Yuan's eyes and asked, "Is there a loophole?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Guess you will doubt'Chengjianghu','Chengjianghu' is indeed a point of either elimination or lock-in. Before you come back, I have sent Fang Yuanhang over."

Mingshu raised his eyes and quickly calmed down, analyzing the clues on Qiyue Mountain that he had sorted out to Xiao Yuan one by one.

"Atonement?" Xiao Yuan said: "This idea is very novel. A guilty person who wants to redeem his sins should first understand where he is wrong and what the sins he has committed, and then do good deeds, or compensate the victim, when he comes to Mu Haiyuan. Is it to obtain the identity of a monk from his twin brother, and then gather together those who have made similar mistakes with him and obliterate them one by one?"

Ming Shu said: "I think it's not very useful to analyze a suspect with a psychological distortion, obsessing over conventional logic. I have gone through enough detours in the past, so it is better to change my thinking. For Mu Haiyuan, eradicate Chu Jiang and others, Maybe it's another form of'being good'? What he should punish the most is himself, but few people can attack him, so he pointed the knife at those who are like him. What the three of Chu Jiang said' "Wandering" is all from the mouth of Peeping Chen. No one has heard them say that they want to "wander", and no one has seen them leave Haijing Temple, and the investigation of Shouquan Town has been carried out so far. People said they had seen them. I judged that when Xiaochen said they went down the mountain to "wander around", they were already killed."

Xiao Yuan said: "At the age of Gyechen, killing is not difficult, but it is more difficult to deal with the corpse. The hiding place is not too far away. The last time Yi Fei and the others went to the Haijing Temple to search, did they only search the temple?"

"Yes." Ming Shu nodded, and the towel suddenly fell from his head.

Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly.

Ming Shu took the towel, "Fuck, you fix me!"

Xiao Yuan said solemnly: "Don't swear at your superiors, please concentrate during work."

"Who is not paying attention first?" Ming Shu folds the loose towels and puts it on top of Xiao Yuan's head, "I want to put it too."

Xiao Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and she looked at Ming Shu quietly.

Ming Shu stopped moving.

After two seconds, Ming Shu took the towel back and said, "Don't let it go, I will fix you when I go home."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Where did you talk about it?"

Ming Shu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Where is the cliff where Qin Xiong pushed Qin Ying down? Even tourists wouldn't walk up the cliff. The bottom of the cliff is safer. Will Xiao Chen follow Qin Xiong's example? ..."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Team Ming, you are a bit messy."

Ming Shu reacted at once, that the current Jiechen is no longer the one who rescued Qin Ying in the first place. How could he follow suit?

"According to the idea you just put forward, Mu Haiyuan will liquidate his mistakes on others one by one. This can be regarded as a kind of ritual. The murderer who commits the crime is usually also ritual when hiding the corpse." Xiao Yuan said: " If the three of Chu Jiang are dead, their bodies are nothing more than hiding in two places, one is where they made a mistake, and the other is Qiyueshan. If it is the former, then Mu Haiyuan should lead them to their hometowns. If you start again, this possibility is not very high, because it takes time to come and go. Before this year's retreat, Yu Chen did not leave Haijing Temple for a long time."

"The most likely place to hide the corpse is near Haijing Temple." Ming Shu said, "I will arrange a search immediately."

The third section of Longcheng Road, "Chengjiang Lake".

"If it is a reasonable request, of course I will cooperate." The man smiled, but his smile was very cold. "But I found out that you seem to treat me as a suspect. How can I cooperate?"

Fang Yuanhang frowned and looked at the man.

The man is Cheng Xiuming, the boss of "Cheng Jianghu". He looks like he is in his early thirties, but the age on his ID card is 36 years old.

He is not a "black house"

"My hometown is in Yancheng in Han Province next door, and I only came to Dongye City this year.

Cheng Xiuming's background seems to be very clean. The field team members have gone to Yancheng to investigate and learned that Cheng Xiuming had been running a Jianghu restaurant before. Because of his good craftsmanship and a solid personality, his business has always been good.

But in the first half of this year, Cheng Xiuming suddenly handed over the well-opened restaurant to his apprentice Han Chao, and came to Dongye City by himself. It didn't take long for him to open "Cheng Jianghu".

"You check Brother Cheng, as for? My brother Cheng is the best person in the world!" Han Chao was extremely dissatisfied with his master who "cross-province" investigated him for the police. Hello, Brother Cheng!"

Cheng Xiuming opened his Jianghu restaurant in Yancheng in a place called "Ronghua Street". On this street, Cheng Xiuming is regarded as a celebrity. Whenever any household needs help, if he finds him, he will help as long as he has a way. Sometimes he can't help, and he will give some reasonable suggestions.

As Han Chao said, no one who knew Cheng Xiuming said he was bad.

But what the police have to pay attention to is that Cheng Xiuming is alone, without family, and apart from Han Chao, this apprentice, he seems to have no friends.

No relatives or friends, live alone, help whenever you need, regardless of gains or losses.

This is an absolute good person.

But the criminal police of the serious crime team saw many more weird and twisted murderers. The more such a "good man", the harder it was to escape their sight.

Good and evil complement each other. Everyone has evil in his heart, and no one is immune. If there is no evil, then good is false. In many cases, the most brutal murderers advertised themselves as the supreme and wise men. In addition to committing crimes, they did play the role of good people. Therefore, when some murderers were finally brought to justice, people who were familiar with them often Will be surprised-how is it possible?

"If Brother Cheng hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago." Han Chao said that he was sold to Yancheng by a human trafficker, and he has not been able to solve the problems of household registration and ID card, nor can he find his parents. Unable to prove his identity, he can’t find a decent job in this society. Before he met Cheng Xiuming, he had been in the "gray zone" of the city to make ends meet. He had done a lot of good and bad things and was almost deceived. When he went to drug trafficking, Cheng Xiuming pulled him back from the wrong path, gave him a job, and assisted him in solving the identity problem that had not been resolved for more than ten years.

"I used to be a ‘black household’ too." Cheng Xiuming said, "Uncle Cheng gave me an account."

"Brother Cheng, like me, doesn't know who his real parents are. He shouldn't have the surname Cheng. If Mr. Cheng took him in, he followed Mr. Cheng's surname." Han Chao seemed to know Cheng Xiuming very well and was anxious. To convince the police that Cheng Xiuming is a good person, he told all of Cheng Xiuming's past in one breath——

Cheng Xiuming's craftsmanship is inherited from the deceased Cheng Shu Cai. Cheng Shucai's wife and children passed away prematurely. He found Cheng Xiuming who had been beaten and bruised in his opponent's restaurant. He immediately called the police and rescued him. Cheng Xiuming was less than twenty years old at the time. He was a "black household" and had no relatives. He was humiliated everywhere. Cheng Shucai felt sorry for him, and he went around looking for relationships with others, and finally he was given an ID card and household registration, and he was accepted as an apprentice. First he asked him to help in his restaurant, and then he gradually taught him his craftsmanship.

More than a decade ago, Cheng Shucai rescued Cheng Xiuming.

More than a decade later, Cheng Xiuming rescued Han Chao in the same way.

The field team asked: "Do you know why Cheng Xiuming suddenly left Yancheng to do business in Dongye City?"

Han Chao said: "Dongye City is bigger than Yancheng. Brother Cheng is so good at craftsmanship. Isn't it just a talent to stay in Yancheng?'Chengjiang Lake' is so popular in your Dongye, it means that Brother Cheng is right."

"It's also a big city, why choose Dongye City instead of Los Angeles?" The field team said again: "Los Angeles is your provincial capital."

"This..." Han Chao couldn't answer, "Hey! Wherever Brother Cheng is happy to drive, he can drive wherever he wants!"

Han Chao’s explanation is full of loopholes, and before Cheng Xiuming obtained his legal status, his experience was actually a blank. The only person who might understand his past, Cheng Shucai, is no longer alive.

Could he really be the missing Qin Ying?

If so, why did Qin Xiong and Huang Hui never recognize people?

People's appearance will change with age. Qin Ying was only 16 when she disappeared. She is now 37. From a boy to a man, her appearance will inevitably change, but will there really be no trace of the past on her face?

Unless plastic surgery.

Fang Yuanhang thought quickly in his mind, and Cheng Xiuming, who was standing opposite him, looked away, and seemed to be preparing for the evening business.

"Qin Ying." Fang Yuanhang suddenly shouted.

Cheng Xiuming turned around when he heard the words.

Although this is a reaction, it is just a very ordinary reaction. Fang Yuanhang couldn't see the unusual in Cheng Xiu's eyebrows.

"Who is Qin Ying?" Cheng Xiuming asked flatly.

"I still have a few questions I want to find the answer to you." Fang Yuanhang pulled a chair away, sat down on his own, and then raised his eyes to stare at Cheng Xiuming.

In the serious case team, if you want to pick a "noisy head", it must be the other party's voyage. However, after Mingshu came back this summer, he consciously followed Mingshu to learn, and his gestures gradually became a bit of forgiveness. .

Cheng Xiuming stood there for a while, looking at the young criminal policeman, and after a moment he smiled helplessly, "It seems that if I don't answer, I won't be able to open it tonight, right?"

Fang Yuanhang also smiled, "The responsibility is in your hands, please understand."

Cheng Xiuming also sat down and sighed, "You can ask."

Fang Yuanhang said, "You entered Cheng's life when you were 20 years old. How about before that?"

"Collect waste." Cheng Xiuming said calmly: "Give some odd jobs. If you insist on asking who can prove it for me, I can only tell you, no."

Fang Yuanhang said, "Do you know Haijing Temple?"

Cheng Xiuming said: "I didn't know before, but now I know, there was a criminal case."

Fang Yuanhang kept staring at Cheng Xiuming's eyes and found that there was no flaw in this person's expression.

"'Cheng Jianghu' suddenly became hot, did Qiu Shan sleep on the initiative to find you, or did you contact him?" Fang Yuanhang deliberately inserted insignificant questions between important issues, "After'Cheng Jianghu' got on fire, Are you still in touch with Qiu Shan Sleeping?"

"I didn't take the initiative to hype." Cheng Xiuming said: "But since a big V has taken a fancy to my store, of course I can't ask for it."

Fang Yuanhang said: "Did you think that'Cheng Jianghu' would become so fast?"

Cheng Xiuming said: "I dare to drive next to the hottest restaurant on the third section of Longcheng Road, just because I have the confidence to share a piece of it with it."

Fang Yuanhang squinted, "So when you temporarily set up the store in Yancheng and came to Dongye City, did you come for the'baby shrimp'?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiuming raised his eyebrows lightly, and his hand that had been placed on the edge of the table stiffened inconspicuously.

This is Cheng Xiuming's only reaction that shows mood swings since the two have dealt with each other.

"You also know that my colleague is in Yancheng now." Fang Yuanhang hit the iron while it was hot. "Your apprentice Han Chao has no idea about your sudden departure from Yancheng."

"Because in your heart, I came to Dongye'for no reason' and took away Qin Xiong's business, so I became a suspect?" Cheng Xiuming smiled again, "Where is the evidence? People can do whatever they want. Doubt, but to arrest someone, you have to tell the evidence."

The serious case team did not have evidence that Cheng Xiuming was the murderer, and even the suspicion was not the same as the suspicion of Qin Xu in the early stage. There is a set of unfamiliar footprints in 5-8. Modeling from the footprints can infer the approximate height and weight of the person who left the footprints, as well as walking habits. But the criticality of footprints is far inferior to fingerprints.

Cheng Xiuming's height is within the range defined by the modeling.

Fang Yuanhang thought about the next step, and suddenly saw Cheng Xiuming spread his hands, "It seems that my'willfulness' has caused me trouble."

"What'willful'?" Fang Yuanhang became vigilant.

"Explain in advance that I have nothing to do with Qin Xiong's death, nor do I have any grudges with him." Cheng Xiuming said, "You just called me'Qin Ying', because you thought I was this person? Qin Ying, Qin. Xiong, interesting. But I am not Qin Ying, not the murderer you are looking for."

Fang Yuanhang's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and it was very important to know what Cheng Xiuming had to say next.

At the same moment, the field team members far away in Yancheng finally learned a clue that had a close relationship with Qin Xiong during their continuous visits.

The restaurant of Cheng Xiuming and Han Chao hosted a guest named "Qu Yongfei" in the first half of this year, and this guest currently lives in Mishui County below Yancheng.

"Qu Yongfei?" Ming Shu said while walking with headphones on, "Isn't that the owner of'Xinyang Kitchen'?"

Before the opening of "Chengjiang Lake", the neighbor of "Baby Shrimp" had always been "Xinyang Kitchen". In previous visits, the police had made it clear that the business of “Xinyang Kitchen” was far inferior to that of “Baby Shrimp”. Qu Yongfei’s son Qu Xinyang was seriously ill and was in urgent need of medical expenses. He launched new dishes in order to raise money. But soon, “Baby Shrimp” "Imitated the idea of ​​"Xinyang Kitchen".

Qu Yongfei once asked Qin Xiong to give himself some customers, which was actually not appropriate, but Qu Yongfei had no other choice at the time.

Qin Xiong not only failed to help Qu Yongfei, but also humiliated Qu Yongfei.

Soon, Qu Xinyang died.

"We have found Qu Yongfei, and his reaction is very strange." The field team reported: "Not only did his home provide Qu Xinyang with four shrines, but also curse characters and villains!"

Ming Shu said: "This is feudal superstition."

"Qu Xinyang's illness and death have nothing to do with Qin Xiong, and it is understandable that Qin Xiong did not accept Qu Yongfei's request. After all, everyone is a business man, and the strong have no obligation to take care of the weak." Cheng Xiuming said: "But Qin Xiong's arrogance, Ruined a person."

Fang Yuanhang said, "You mean Qu Yongfei?"

Cheng Xiuming got up and looked around at the store. "Many years ago, Qu Yongfei followed my benefactor, that is, Cheng Shucai, who studied cooking for a period of time. At that time, Qu Yongfei was full of ambition and went to Mishui County via Yancheng this year. Qu Yongfei is completely different. After his only son died of illness, his wife also left him, and now he has psychological problems."

Fang Yuanhang was puzzled: "Do you want to avenge Qu Yongfei?"

"It depends on how you understand the word'revenge'." Cheng Xiuming said, "I said, I didn't kill anyone, and I won't kill anyone in the future. Qin Xiong relies on his superb cooking skills and looks down on all those who are inferior to him. I am here. His business opened in front of his house and took away his business. Isn't it considered "revenge"?"

"But you don't have to..." Fang Yuanhang stopped before he finished speaking.

No need.

What is unnecessary?

In the eyes of the unrelated, everything is "unnecessary".

But as far as the person concerned is concerned, since it has been done, why is it unnecessary?

Sure enough, Cheng Xiuming shook his head, "You police have the principles of your police, and I also have my principles of behavior. I opened the shop here and used my means to "revenge" a person who was destroyed. Nothing was violated. Laws and regulations. Even if'Qiu Shan Sleepless' has not recommended me, I can still make Qin Xiong suffer, but..."

As he said, Cheng Xiuming sighed, "It's a big death. If I knew that his Qin family would encounter such a thing, I shouldn't have come to Dongye."

Shouquan Town, pray for the Moon Mountain.

"Yeah." Ming Shu commanded the search while listening to Fang Yuanhang's call.

"Cheng Xiuming explained his own behavior very clearly, but I still have some doubts." Fang Yuanhang said: "This person's experience before the age of 20, we can't verify now. Master, do you need to bring him back to the bureau? ?"

"No." Ming Shu said: "Just stare at him, don't let him leave our sight."

That night, the crime team discovered a cave in an extremely hidden location. Three corpses with varying degrees of decay were hidden in the cave.
