Madness of the Heart

Dongye Foreign Language College, Nancheng District.

It is summer vacation and half of the cafeteria on campus is closed. Most of the students who are about to enter the sophomore year leave school and return home, while most of the students who have just finished their sophomore and junior studies choose to stay on campus, either working part-time or preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and more Most of them worry about the upcoming campus recruitment.

The past two years have not been easy to find a job. When it comes to employment, many people will inevitably be impetuous.

In the East Ninth Building of the female dormitory, all the juniors majoring in English live. As soon as this summer vacation is over, they will join the torrent of job hunting. At this time, it was the evening, and the cooling wind passed through the corridor, and many dormitories opened their doors to dissipate the boring heat of the day.

509's bedroom door was closed tightly, without a trace of light coming out of the crack in the door.

"Is there no one in their dormitory?" Wang Jiao lives in the opposite door 510, and the four girls living in 509 are classmates. "Why is the door closed at this time? Didn't you say that you should go swimming together tonight?"

Shu Yu's index finger pressed her lips, "Shh, Wen Jingjing just came back this afternoon. She has a fever and is sleeping."

Wang Jiao immediately lowered her voice, "Why do you have a fever? Is it serious?"

"It should be serious, otherwise Wen Jingjing won't ask for leave and come back to rest." Shu Yu said as she took Wang Jiao's arm and walked up the stairs. "Her family entrusted her to find an internship at the foreign affairs unit. Gang, very hard."

"509 Where are the others?" Wang Jiao looked back, "Why is there no one except Wen Jingjing today?"

"It's not in the library, or working." Shu Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, their dormitory is a dormitory for students. Except for Wen Jingjing and Li Hongmei, they all have to take the postgraduate entrance examination, which is different from our dormitory. Go ahead. Go to the barbecue first, then go swimming."

"Don't you go swimming first, and then have a barbecue?"

"Everything will do!"

The two made a fuss down the stairs, passing by a girl wearing a shopping mall shirt and straight jeans.

Going down to the first floor, Shu Yu looked up, with a dissatisfied face, frowned and said, "Why is this woman here again? It's disgusting to look at her. 509 Now only Wen Jingjing is the most annoying. She's here, did she go up looking for scolding?"

"She doesn't know that Wen Jingjing is the only one here, she must be looking for Li Hongmei." Wang Jiao sighed. "The sisters of 509 are also unlucky enough, how come they have such weird flowers as Li Hongmei? They always bring these weird people to the bedroom. , I was a missionary last year, and now I am a mess worker. Hey, how about we tell Aunt Zhang that someone from outside has entered the dormitory?"

"Forget it, they don't care about their dormitories. Why are we worrying about so much?" Shu Yu said, "And Li Hongmei is so nervous that I can't provoke it. The news has reported several murders in the dormitory, so let's stay away from Li Hongmei. "

When the two walked out of the gate of East Nine Building, the girl in the cultural shirt was already standing outside the gate of 509.

She stretched out her right hand first, knocked on the door, and then pressed her face to the door. After about half a minute, there was no sound or lights inside. She knocked again and asked in crappy Mandarin with an obvious accent: "Is anyone there? Hongmei, are you in it? I'm Xiao Min."

Still no response.

But 513 someone came out and took a look, showing contempt.

At this time, it seemed that 509 was confirmed that there was no one. The girl took out the key from the bag and opened the door like a master.

"I'll go!" The spectator at 513 was surprised: "Can it be like this?"

Suddenly, the light of 509 was bright, and Wen Jing's voice came from inside, "Who the **** is opening the door of the old lady's bedroom?"

The girl obviously didn't expect someone inside. In a panic, the key fell to the ground with a "pop", and she blushed and stepped back, "I, I knocked on the door, I don't know..."

Wen Jingjing has a fierce personality and dare to speak and do. Although she is a little depressed because of fever, her aura is still there.

She quickly turned over from the bed, approached the girl, and sternly said: "You don't know that there are people in this dormitory, so you dare to open the door with the key? You are so courageous, you are a thief? Today you must make it clear who is the key. For you? Is it Li Hongmei?"

The girl shook her head, panicked, "Hongmei just put the key here..."

"Thief!" Wen Jingjing stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and shouted: "Catch the thief! Who will help me inform Aunt Zhang?"

Those who live on this floor know more or less that Li Hongmei is at odds with the other people in 509. It is particularly uncomfortable for outsiders to enter the dormitory. Wen Jingjing’s call immediately attracted many people’s response, some Surrounded by the girls, some went downstairs called the dormitory and security guards.

Soon, the girl was twisted and sent to the dormitory room.

She was trembling with fear and took out all her documents. Her name and age are written on the certificate-Chi Xiaomin, 21 years old.

This is not the first time Chi Xiaomin has come to Dongjiu Building. Before and after summer vacation, Li Hongmei took her many times.

Wen Jingjing was furious and called back Qin Manyue and Lian Qiao who were studying in the library, with a very tough attitude, insisting that Chi Xiaomin be sent to the police station.

Li Hongmei, who works outside school, hurried back after hearing the news. She was wearing straight jeans similar to Chi Xiaomin, and her upper body was an activity T-shirt from a freshman major in English. She exuded obvious sweat and body odor, and her flat face was anxious. , Apologized dumbly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Min is my friend, and I gave her the key. She recently worked in the fruit shop in front of the school, I think, I think she can come to our bedroom to rest."

The stench caused many girls to cover their mouths and noses.

Wen Jingjing's teeth are sharp and sharp, "You are in the dormitory alone? Who gave you the power? Li Hongmei, you are too much! Do you think we don't know what you are doing outside? Preaching, making friends with different people This is a university, you keep bringing people to the dormitory, what are you going to do?"

"Xiao Min is not a nonsense person, she is my friend." Li Hongmei was sweating coldly, her eyes helpless and paranoid, "What happened today is that I am wrong, I apologize to you."

After speaking, Li Hongmei bends down deeply and bows to the roommates.

Lian Qiao sneered, "The apology is over? The ghost knows what this Chi Xiaomin does. The old lady has to send her to the police station today!"

Chi Xiaomin wept softly, "Sister Hongmei, you help me..."

Li Hongmei clenched her teeth and glanced across the faces of the three people who were sleeping.

Wen Jingjing couldn't see her eyes the most, and she cursed: "Why are you staring? Don't think you're all right. You can't get rid of your relationship with you, a friend, a friend of a dog and a dog who entered the police station! Believe it or not that I can make you unable to graduate?

"I'm sorry." Li Hongmei bowed again, "It's all my fault, please let me and Xiaomin go. I swear that I will never bring anyone to the dormitory again. Please trust me."

"I'm!" Lian Qiao rolled his eyes, "I must go to the police station today!"

"I beg you." Li Hongmei took a deeper bow, her thin back trembling.

In the attitude of calming things down, Su Guan Auntie Zhang whispered to Wen Jingjing: "Li Hongmei has also apologized, I think it's okay, it's boring if it's a big mess."

"No!" Wen Jing was resolute and resolute, "I can't understand her a long time ago. Today she can bring a thief back. Tomorrow do you know what she will bring? Do you have to wait for her to bring a man back?"

The girls onlookers laughed, "Quietly, what are you talking about? Can Li Hongmei bring a man back? Which man can see her?"

Li Hongmei also bowed, her expression completely blocked.

"I'm not a thief!" Chi Xiaomin whispered.

"You don't have the right to talk!" Lian Qiao actually slapped it over, "Shut up!"

Li Hongmei pushed Lianqiao away abruptly, with an extremely angry and depressed expression on her face.

Wen Jingjing felt a trace of fear inexplicably, and almost instinctively pulled it by coincidence.

"Forget it." Qin Manyue, who had not spoken all the time, said suddenly: "Everyone is not good at making trouble at the police station. Quietly, Li Hongmei has already apologized. Aunt Zhang also advised us not to make a big mess. I think we will stop here today."

Li Hongmei kept panting, her expression getting weird.

Wen Jingjing was unwilling to compromise. Qin Manyue suddenly hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Li Hongmei is not normal, let's not make her anxious. Everyone has to live together, in case she goes crazy and kills, she will die. we."

Wen Jingjing's heart beats fiercely, almost instantly shocked.

Qin Manyue chuckled softly, "It doesn't matter, there is still another year. Your job has been fixed. Lian Qiao and I will definitely be able to go abroad or go to graduate school, but Li Hongmei is the only one left. Let's play with her slowly. We will play with her slowly. Play waste."

Wen Jingjing just smiled, "You still have a way."

The farce ended hastily, Li Hongmei returned to 509 to pack her luggage, and Chi Xiaomin waited for her in the corridor.

The atmosphere of the dormitory is weird, Wen Jingjing, Lianqiao, and Qin Manyue gathered together, whispering "whispering" in a not low voice—

"There are really all kinds of species in the university. I have had a long experience in the past three years."

"It's also called'Hongmei', it looks like a peat seed."

"Do you know that some incompetent people like to hug together and make friends everywhere. In fact, what kind of friends are they, a bunch of garbage to be disposed of."

Of course Li Hongmei heard all these words. 509 still has her bed, but she does not want to live anymore.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Seeing Li Hongmei dragging the suitcase to leave, Wen Jingjing suddenly asked hypocritically.

"I'm going out to live." Li Hongmei lowered her head and said.

"Don't, this is still your dormitory. What do you leave now? The counselor knows that we are bullying you." Lian Qiao wanted to hold her, but she broke away.

"Yo, playing with your temper?" Lian Qiao hummed, "I gave you a face, right?"

Li Hongmei didn't say anything any more, pulled Chi Xiaomin up and left quickly, leaving Qin Manyue shouting behind him: "Hey, really gone? Leave the key—"

"The key is mine." Li Hongmei turned her head, "I will come back."

Her voice was calm, but uncomfortably weird, as if her nails were about to be wiped off a blackboard.

Qin Manyue got goose bumps.

Mingshu and Xiao Yuan have their own residences, and do not live in the same place. Mingshu’s house was bought after work was settled, and it was closer to the city bureau. In a medium-sized community, with two bedrooms and one living room, both the floor plan and the decoration were common.

Xiao’s house is a bit farther away. It was purchased three years ago. It is a high-end residence and is not under the name of Xiao Yu’an. The decoration is very simple, the interior is gray and white, all of which are straight lines.

Ming Shu didn't understand at the beginning, "Why are you buying a house? You can't live here."

Xiao Yuan asked back then: "How do you know I can't live here?"

No matter how simple and hard the house is, once the kitchen fires, it will have vitality. Mingshu has been busy with the case recently and is really tired. When he arrives at home, he lay on the sofa in the living room, sleeping on a huge pillow, until he smelled the scent of chicken soup, he woke up in a daze.

It gets dark in summer, but when it comes to nine o'clock, it is still dark outside.

He sat up and didn't figure out where he was for a moment.

He is actually no stranger to this home. Xiao Yuan gave him the keys. When solving a case and encountering a bottleneck, he missed Xiao Yuan, and when he was free, he would come to live for two days and sleep on this sofa.

The pillow he just hugged was bought by himself. Although the color model is far from the style of the whole suite, there is no sense of disharmony if he holds it.

But the feeling now is completely different from the past.

He rubbed his temples and looked at the kitchen.

There were bright lights, the range hood was working, and Xiao Yuan's figure was blocked by a half-covered door.

He stood up and walked eagerly to the kitchen.

"Wake up? Take the bowl out." Xiao Yuan was frying the lettuce, "Don't move the chicken soup, it's hot, I'll get it later."

"Brother." He didn't do it. He hugged Xiao Yuan's waist from behind and buried his face in the familiar shoulders almost shamelessly.

Xiao Yuan smiled, "You haven't woken up yet?"

He shook his head very slightly, "woke up and hungry."

"Then don't hurry up and serve the bowl." Xiao Yuan's tone of indulge, put the fried lettuce on the porcelain plate, let Ming Shu hug it for a while, only then held the restless hands on his abdomen, "It's time to eat."

With two dishes and one soup for dinner, Ming Shu eased the breath of getting up and quickly became excited. His chopsticks moved quickly, and a pot of chicken soup soon saw the bottom.

Xiao Yuan didn't eat much, and finally broke off the top bones of the chicken's head and fed the delicate brain flowers into Ming Shu's mouth.

Ming Shu liked to eat this when he was young. But a chicken has only one head, and one head is just a little bit brainy when it is knocked open, and the tip of the tongue is gone, and it is not enough to eat.

The Xiao brothers and sisters sat around a table, grabbing wings and legs, Xiao Yuan helped Mingshu grab his head, and then peeled his brains out and placed them in the Mingshu bowl.

As long as Xiao Yuan was there, Ming Shu never knocked his head on his own.

In recent years, the pollution has been getting worse. Xiao Yuan disagrees with Mingshu eating chicken brain flower when eating out. Only when he uses his own local chicken soup, he will keep the chicken brain flower.

Mingshu was satisfied with his food.

After the meal, the bowl was washed by Mingshu, and the fruit was cut by Mingshu. It was eleven o'clock after everything was cleaned up.

It's time to do "homework".

"No, I still have to go back." Ming Shu sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up again, "The case has not been solved, I am not at ease."

Xiao Yuan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and picked up the car key, "I'll give it to you."

Ming Shu raised his eyebrows, "You won't keep me for a while? I only drank a bowl of chicken soup when I came to you."

"It's not a bowl, it's a pot." Xiao Yuan grabbed his neck and kissed his forehead.

"I thought you couldn't bear me." He fastened his seat belt, and Ming Shu was still muttering pretendingly.

Before starting the car, Xiao Yuan smiled and threw a blindfold, "Squint for a while, I will call you when I get there."

Half an hour later, Ming Shu took the milk tea he had just bought and strode into the crime team.

And on this sultry and busy summer night, the desperate murderer raised his butcher knife.
