Madness of the Heart

Dongye University of Foreign Languages.

A warning belt has been pulled up downstairs in the East Nine Building, and many girls in pajamas are crowded around outside the warning belt in horror. Many of them were trembling, their hair was disheveled, and their complexions were either red or pale, and some of them were already crying.

The crowded and noisy dormitory of the past is like a **** on earth. Three girls who were still alive last night slanted on their respective beds, and two lifeless arms hung from the edge of the bed. The blood gushing from their carotid arteries soaked the mats and mosquito nets, spilled onto the yellowed walls, and flowed to the cold large checkered floor.

There are bloodstains everywhere in the 509 dormitory. Those black and red liquids that are gradually solidifying are like the screams that girls can't make at the end of their lives. Just looking at it makes the scalp numb.

A series of big words written in blood on a wall: They are damned!

The handwriting is crooked and ugly, as if the writer's already distorted soul.

A trail of blood stretched from 509 to the gate of East Ninth Building, and disappeared in the flower bed, which looked unusually permeating.

Three students from a higher education institution were brutally murdered overnight. This was an absolutely major and important case. As soon as the Nancheng Branch received the call, it was immediately reported to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yuan had already led the crime team and criminal investigation team to the Dongye Foreign Languages ​​Institute in person.

The trace inspectors were collecting traces in the terrifying dormitory. Ming Shu stood at door 509, looking at the line on the wall with a serious expression.

It was Shu Yu from the 510 bedroom that found the scene of the murder. Early in the morning, she planned to go to the playground to exercise her muscles and bones. When she opened the door, she saw that the door of 509 was wide open, and the inside was strangely quiet, and the blood spreading out was shocking.

She approached tremblingly, and saw that her head was hanging quietly by the bed, and the wound on her neck looked like a big mouth in a blood basin.

For a moment, her mind was blank, only her feet were moving back mechanically.

When she finally realized what had happened to 509, she fell to the ground and let out a hoarse scream.

At this time, she had been taken to the school hospital because of excessive fright.

Her roommate also looked dull and couldn't believe that this kind of tragedy that only appeared in TV series and novels would happen around her.

"Ken...it must be Li Hongmei, and that...that woman, Chi Xiaomin!" Wang Jiao's hair was soaked in cold sweat, and she kept breathing with her mouth wide open, looking a little weird and funny.

But at this moment, no one can laugh.

Ming Shu walked over, restrained the chill in his eyes, and asked, "Who is Li Hongmei? Who is Chi Xiaomin?"

Hearing these two names, the girls' moods suddenly changed. Some cried louder, some shrugged their shoulders cowardly, and more people were agitated.

"Yes! It must be Li Hongmei and Chi Xiaomin!"

"Li Hongmei is too vicious. He gave the dormitory keys to people outside without permission. He even preached before!"

"Jingjing and they just said a few words to her, she actually..."

"It's terrible. Fortunately, she doesn't belong to our dormitory."

"The school must be responsible for recruiting such lunatics!"

"509 said yesterday to send Li Hongmei and the woman with the key to the police station, but Aunt Zhang stopped her. Hey, if they went to the police station, they would not be killed."

"It's hard to say that the police station won't take care of this kind of thing at all. At best, educate Li Hongmei so that she will not take people to the dormitory casually in the future. With Li Hongmei's personality, she will kill anyone if she wants to kill. Wen Jingjing and the others are too unlucky, especially It's Qin Manyue. She helped Li Hongmei to speak yesterday."

Mingshu listened for a while and learned that Li Hongmei was a member of 509, and Chi Xiaomin was an outsider Li Hongmei brought back to the dormitory. Last night, Li Hongmei had a dispute with her roommate because of bringing Chi Xiaomin back to the dormitory, and she left at ten o'clock in the evening. Before the lights were turned off, 509 had only three victims.

Dongjiu Building is home to four people, and the identities of the three victims have been identified—Wen Jingjing, a native, 21 years old; Qin Manyue, a native of Fengcheng, 22; Lian Qiao, a native of Xinfeng County, Dongye City, 21 year old.

The focus of the case is, where is Li Hongmei? Is that blood footprint left by Li Hongmei?

The trace inspectors completed the preliminary investigation, and Xiao Man’s face was very ugly, “Ming team collected seven types of footprints, including blood footprints. From the analysis of the footprints and other traces on the scene, there was only one murderer, and she was a woman. When committing the crime, they did not even wear gloves, and directly cut the carotid arteries and trachea of ​​the three victims with a straight knife."

Ming Shu looked at the door of the dormitory. “The lock showed no signs of violence. Either the murderer used the key to open the door, or the victim opened the door for her. Xing brother?”

"The two victims were killed in sleep and there was no trace of struggle. The other had a slight struggle." Xing Mu said: "The murderer opened the door with the key while they were asleep. The last deceased killed the other two at the murderer. She woke up at time, but it was too late. She suffered the most severe neck injuries and the most painful death. In addition, the knife marks on the necks of the three deceased were all messy, and the murderer had obvious venting emotions."

In the dormitory room, Zhang Chunfang, who is called "Aunt Zhang" by the girls, has been controlled.

It is inferred from the dead bodies of the three people that the murder occurred at about 2 o'clock in the morning today. Even during the summer vacation, the dormitory still has an entrance guard. The door is closed at 0 am and opened at 6 am. If the murderer is an outsider, then Zhang Chunfang will bear the unshirkable responsibility.

"I...I don't know anything." Zhang Chunfang sat on the wooden chair, too scared to stand up.

There is no air-conditioning in the dormitory room, and an old head-shaking fan makes a "creaky" sound. The strongest wind blows on her face, like a pair of rough hands, wiping her tears into her slack. In the skin and wrinkles.

"What's the matter with Li Hongmei?" Ming Shu asked, "The students said, you prevented the victim from sending Li Hongmei to the police station?"

"They quarreled in their dormitory last night. Li and Li Hongmei lent the keys to people outside..." Zhang Chunfang stammered about what happened the day before, and finally repeated: "I think Li Hongmei is pitiful. Advise them not to send Li Hongmei to the police station. I didn't expect this to happen, and it was Wen Jingjing and Qin Manyue who decided to let Li Hongmei go, not me, not me!"

Ming Shu has seen too many murders. He has described 509 four girls arguing in his mind and asked: "You said Li Hongmei left at 10 o'clock last night. Did she come back later?"

Zhang Chunfang cried and nodded.

Ming Shu asked: "When?"

"1 o'clock. She rang the bell outside, yes, I opened the door for her!" Zhang Chunfang slapped the table, her dry hair hanging on her cheeks, "I don't know what she did when she came back to do that kind of thing, otherwise I Even if she tried her best, she wouldn't open the door for her! She started working as a freshman when she entered school and often came back in the middle of the night. I really don't know..."

"Then when did she leave, do you remember?" Ming Shu asked again.

"It was very late at the time. I put her in and went back to the room to sleep." Zhang Chunfang sobbed, "The access control is only for entering, no matter what you exit, anyone can open the door inside."

Xiao Man collected Li Hongmei's fingerprints on the door control button in the dormitory.

Ming Shu stood up, turned around and saw Xiao Yuan walking quickly towards the dormitory room.

"Xiao Ju." He raised his hand and shouted.

Xiao Yuan did not wear a police uniform, but was still a matching shirt and suit pants. The shirt hem was tucked into the suit pants, capable and upright.

"Li Hongmei is suspected to be serious and mentally unstable. It is very likely that he will continue to commit the crime and must be found immediately." Xiao Yuan raised his wrist to check the time. "The on-site investigation is handed over to the Criminal Investigation Team. You go to locate Li Hongmei and Chi Xiaomin. "

"Yes!"

There is no surveillance inside the dormitory, but there are many high-definition cameras in the open-air area of ​​the campus. The members of the technical investigation team quickly called out the surveillance. The video showed that at 2:31 in the morning, Li Hongmei, holding a knife with a straight handle, appeared in the canteen closest to the East 9th Building, and then left the campus along the East Avenue.

The last time she was caught by a camera was at the "Old Classmate Inn" outside the east gate of Dongye Foreign Languages ​​Institute.

Yi Fei Liang Ming's certificate. The receptionist was a middle-aged woman who had never seen so many police officers. She was so frightened that she quickly turned off the soap opera that was playing on the computer and immediately led everyone to the guest room on the third floor.

The environment of this hotel is terrible, with low-grade guest houses, mottled walls and black rust on the railings. In order to catch up with the fashion, the name was changed to inn. It is the cheapest hotel nearby. It costs 50 yuan per room.

The receptionist shivered and opened the door, "The person you are looking for, just live in it. I just open a hotel, I don't know what she does."

In the face of female college students, the criminal police officers in serious cases are really unwilling to hold guns, but the tragic situation of 509 keeps reminding them that they may be separated by a frenzied murderer.

The door opened inward, and the squeaking noise of the rusty runner made the scalp numb.

Many horror movies use this sound effect.

There is only one narrow ventilation window in the house. The glass is covered with heavy stains that have been accumulated for many years. The light can hardly penetrate. The only ceiling light is off. The darkness and musty smell are like substance, layered on top of the criminal police. They rushed.

The gun in Mingshu's hand was facing a young woman's forehead two meters away.

It is Li Hongmei.

Li Hongmei sat on a bed with only one layer of straw mats, a light yellow T-shirt, cropped jeans, and a pair of inferior "hole shoes" on her feet.

In the ID photo, her eyes are dull, and her facial lines are stiff and ugly. Real people are even more ugly than ID photos—small eyes, collapsed noses, turned nostrils, thick lips, wide face plates, cerebrum, cheeks and foreheads all have acne, thin hair pulls a loose ponytail behind the head.

Humans are visual animals, they like beauty and dislike ugliness. It is conceivable that Li Hongmei's looks may have caused her to be discriminated against and excluded from her childhood. And this marginalized situation has always followed her like a nightmare.

Seeing the policeman, Li Hongmei was neither surprised nor scared. She walked over everyone's face with a phantom, and finally fixed on the pistol pointed at her.

Ming Shu slowly lowered the gun, and after a glimpse of the clothes hanging on the plastic rope at the end of the bed.

On it, it seems that blood stains that could not be washed off can still be seen.

Li Hongmei was wearing this underwear to commit crimes.

Yi Fei had already walked over, took off the semi-wet T-shirt and straight-leg jeans, and put them into the large physical evidence bag.

"Are you here to catch me?" Li Hongmei said, with a funny dialect in just one sentence.

Her voice was awful, even at normal volume, it seemed harsh.

Fang Yuanhang suddenly thought of the woman in the countryside yelling at the street.

Ming Shu asked, "You killed the three of 509?"

Li Hongmei didn't answer, but slowly bent down, peeked under the bed, and dragged out a dilapidated cardboard box.

"Be careful!" Yi Fei shouted.

Ming Shu didn't avoid it, and when he saw the contents of the cardboard box, his brow wrinkled fiercely.

That is a straight knife covered with blood!

"It's me." Li Hongmei took out the knife, and then said: "Wen Jingjing and the three of them were killed by me, because they all deserve to die!"

They all deserve to die.

This is exactly what was written on the wall of 509's bedroom.

"Let me take a bath again." Li Hongmei stood up and pulled a board away, "After the shower, I will follow you. I have a body odor, and no one can bear it, and neither can you."

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

After inspection, the blood on the straight handle knife came from three victims, and there was Li Hongmei's fingerprint on the handle. The footprints and monitoring at the scene all point to Li Hongmei. And Li Hongmei has also pleaded guilty. In this appalling dormitory murder case, Li Hongmei is undoubtedly the murderer.

Ming Shu looked at her through the one-way glass of the interrogation room, a strong anger burning in his chest.

Xiao Yuan came over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"You only saw me killing them, did you see them killing me? I was killed by them!" Faced with Yi Fei, Fang Yuanhang, and a female police officer from the Criminal Investigation Team, Li Hongmei It turned out to be very calm, "They are all demons. I have been bullied by them for three years. They still want to play me to death. Why can no one come to save me?"

The policewoman asked: "What did they do to you?"

Li Hongmei pressed her lips, fell into a long thought, and finally smiled and shook her head, "You people who have never experienced trouble, how can you understand? How can you believe? When you look at me, do you still think about this woman? Isn’t it just made up? How could there be people who are as miserable as her? They are all high-quality college students, so how can they have such a bad heart as she said?"

The policewoman said: "There is no reason for you to brutally kill your classmates for any reason."

"Then I look ugly, have body odor, have a poor family background, and have no parents. Is that the reason why they can trample on me wantonly?" Li Hongmei squeezed her fingers tightly, "You people who are born superior, treat the misfortune of others as a fantasy, you I thought I was very kind, hahaha, I didn’t believe in the suffering of others, satirized the suffering of others, and taught aloft, this is not kind, nor is it pure, it is vicious!"

The policewoman was blushing with choking, "You..."

"You can't speak, right?" Li Hongmei at this time is completely different from the dull person in the students' mouths. He is aggressive and good at speaking. "You are so beautiful, you are often chased by people when you are studying, right? You became a policeman. There are mostly men around you. Unlike our Foreign Languages ​​Institute, you open your eyes to see that they are all women. You are enjoying the stars, and you tell me that no reason is why I murdered my classmates cruelly. I want to ask. You, what qualifications do you have to ask me? Have you experienced what I have experienced? I am afraid you can't even imagine it."

The policewoman stood up and walked out.

Yi Fei and Fang Yuanhang looked at each other, and had to suspend the interrogation, waiting for the female police officer to take over.

"Can't you two do it?" Li Hongmei said, "Why do you want the policewoman to come and talk to me? Are you deliberately humiliating me?"

Fang Yuanhang didn't understand her logic, "This is the rule above."

"Then you find someone who looks as ugly as me." When Li Hongmei mentioned ugliness, her tone was almost sad, "I don't want to face beautiful women."

This request can be considered embarrassing.

The female policemen of the Criminal Investigation Bureau are indeed ordinary-looking, but none of them can be called ugly, let alone Li Hongmei's level.

Li Hongmei's facial features, for anyone to see, belong to the level of "crooked melons and cracked dates".

"No?" Li Hongmei smiled, "Forget it, I don't want to say it. It's useless to tell you, no one can understand me..."

In the inquiry room on the same floor, Zhang Chunfang, who had calmed down, had already confessed everything she knew.

Li Hongmei is not a native of Dongye City, but comes from Xiaben Village, a backward fishing village along the coast. Her parents have died and she has no other relatives.

Because of poor family background, ugly appearance, severe body odor caused by no money to cure, as well as short-sightedness and contempt brought by poverty, Li Hongmei was targeted by the whole dormitory and the whole class from the beginning of her freshman year.

The classmates gave her an insulting nickname, "Sao Sao".

It's not a coquettish show, but a bad show.

When splitting the dormitory, Wen Jingjing proposed to let Li Hongmei live alone, on the grounds that Li Hongmei was really stinky. But firstly, no dormitory was vacant, and secondly, Li Hongmei could not afford to live in a dormitory alone.

Li Hongmei knew that she was despised and had very little time to go back to the dormitory. Apart from class, she worked outside.

Wen Jingjing is a local, a middle-class family, and the living environment is very favorable. At first, he just looked down on Li Hongmei. Later, because the brand-name perfume in the dormitory was missing, she suspected that Li Hongmei was stealing it.

"It's not me." Li Hongmei was blocked in the dormitory, retorting nervously, "I didn't take your perfume."

"Isn't you who else? You are so stinky, you wipe Liushen all the time. I just bought that bottle of perfume last week and used it in front of you once. You're worried about it? I told you a long time ago. Body odor is a disease and it needs to be cured! You work all day to make so much money, why don't you cut your stinky piece of meat? If you don't have enough money, we can crowdfund you!"

Wen Jingjing has a very strong personality and a loud voice. With such a shout, all the students on the 5th floor rushed to watch the excitement.

Li Hongmei kept explaining, but over and over again just those few words, "I didn't steal it. I didn't even know you had a bottle of perfume."

Wen Jingjing was furious: "You still quibble? Then tell me, where did my perfume go? There are only four of us in the dormitory. Do you want to slander Man Yue and Qiaoqiao? Both of them have perfume. Okay, you need to steal mine perfume?"

Qin Manyue is the goddess of English majors, tall, holding Gao Leng Fan'er at ordinary times, standing on the side without speaking.

I didn't follow the coincidence, and quickly stood in line with Wen Jingjing, "I steal perfume? Li Hongmei, you can do it, dare to splash dirty water on me!"

In the end, there was no quarrel. Li Hongmei insisted that she did not steal the perfume, but no one believed her. The incident spread from the dormitory to the class, and even the few boys often abuse her with "ugly monsters", "stinky women", and "thief".

By the next semester, under Wen Jingjing's organization, Li Hongmei had been completely isolated.

English majors have oral training classes every day, and no one pairs with Li Hongmei to practice. When everyone in the classroom was talking, she sat alone in the corner and recited the words in a low voice.

Satire, insults, and wearing small shoes are common things, and Li Hongmei is accustomed to it. In her sophomore year, Wen Jingjing got even worse. He found a boy from a foreign school and forced Li Hongmei to open the bathroom door while he was taking a bath. The camera and mobile phone were pointed at her at the same time.

No matter how hard Li Hongmei struggled, it was useless. The boy's arm clamped her in and slandered her. She cried and refused, but the camera shutter sound became more intense...

There is no rumor about the **** photos, Wen Jingjing doesn't have the guts at all.

After that, Wen Jingjing, Lian Qiao, and Qin Manyue saw that Li Hongmei would not resist, and all the boys in the class were on their side, so they became more confident.

Li Hongmei was beaten many times, and sanitary napkins stained with blood frequently appeared in lunch boxes and water cups.

"Does the school do not care?" a criminal policeman asked.

"Man? How can I manage? Li Hongmei is the most difficult child in the entire English department. Those who bully her, some parents in the family are officials, some are in business, and most of them are locals. She is an lone girl, studying far away from her hometown. Where can I afford to provoke those people?" Zhang Chunfang sighed, "Li Hongmei would ask the counselor for help in her sophomore year, but the counselor ignored her at all, and the student union also opened one eye and closed another, Wen Jingjing herself is Vice-Chairman of the Student Union. By the third year, Li Hongmei should also be aware of her situation. She never complained to anyone. Try not to stay with her classmates and make friends outside, but she didn’t make the right one. She met one last year. The preacher, brought back to the dormitory to drink water, and was trained by Wen Jingjing. I thought she was pitiful, and I had solved her and told her that it would be fine to endure until graduation. She said she understood. I'm just a dormitory, other me I can't help her, the only thing she can do is to open the door for her when she comes back from work in the middle of the night...Oh!"

A small group of students stood up and confirmed Zhang Chunfang's words, but most of them said nothing.

The school was busy controlling public opinion, and Li Hongmei’s counselor did not admit that Li Hongmei had been bullied for three years.

In Wen Jingjing's laptop, Xiao Man found a photo of Li Hongmei who had been forcibly taken.

This is the ironclad proof that Li Hongmei was bullied.

Li Hongmei was in a state as if it had been a major event, smiling and shaking her head, "I actually should have killed them long ago. I'm still too kind to them, and I killed them in my sleep. They, they are much more cruel than me. , Ling was late for three years, and I felt more pain than them..."

As night fell, Ming Shu poured a cup of herbal tea, rubbed his sore eye sockets, and picked up the coat on the back of the chair.

Li Hongmei has already pleaded guilty, but the case is not entirely clear.

Where is the person named "Chi Xiaomin"?
