Madness of the Heart

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Deputy Director's Office.

"The victim Meng Shan, 35 years old, was a singer named "Nostalgia" performance team before the funeral team performance was banned in the main city." Ming Shu had just finished eating, her lips and nose turned slightly red. "She She was not married and lived with her parents on Guangdan Road. When she was a singer, her parents, like most people on that street, were engaged in funeral business. Five years ago, Meng Shan’s mother, Zuo Qun, died of genre. Rheumatism. A week ago, her father Meng Yonghui died of lung cancer. She..."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Yuan interrupted, "The result of your investigation is that Zuo Qun'died' of rheumatoid?"

"My expression is inaccurate." Ming Shu said: "Zuo Qun committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at home because he couldn't bear the pain of rheumatism."

Xiao Yuan asked: "Is there any doubt about suicide?"

"The three members of the Meng family are all dead now, and there are doubts that cannot be confirmed." Ming Shu said: "My judgment is that Zuo Qun did commit suicide, and her family knew that she was taking sleeping pills. She was rushed to the doctor. I have visited the Meng family. The two-bedroom and one-living house is only sixty square feet in size. The family lives together, and the group is taking medicine. It is very unlikely that the other two are completely unaware. They are not in an emergency. Seeing a doctor is nothing more than two situations. One is knowing that rheumatoid is too painful and unbearable for relatives. Instead of suffering, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Second, because the cost of treatment for rheumatoid is not low, caring for rheumatoid patients is also a draining mind. Work, so I hoped that Zuo Qun would pass away sooner."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Go on."

"Meng Shan has never been married, has a junior high school education, and has lost her source of income after her performances are banned. She has taken odd jobs. Now she works in a place called'Dragon Girl Design Studio'. I have arranged for someone to investigate in this studio. "Ming Shu continued: "The Meng family's funeral business is not doing well. Zuo Qun's treatment has almost exhausted the family's savings. In the past five years, they have not been in business anymore, and the family's expenses are all dependent on Meng Shan's part-time job. From the mobile phone According to the communication records on the Internet, Meng Shan has no friends. Only her colleagues have been in contact with her recently. We visited on Guangdan Road and learned that after Zuoqun’s death, Meng Yonghui was like a different person. Meng Shan’s relationship is very bad. There are often quarrels between the father and daughter in the Meng family. More than one person heard Meng Shan cursing Meng Yonghui to die."

Xiao Yuan stood at the desk opposite to Ming Shu, leaning slightly against the edge of the table, unlike standing upright in front of outsiders.

But even in such a lazy posture, it is still somewhat majestic when he poses it.

"Did you think of the case investigated when you first came back?" Xiao Yuan said.

The author's tomb heart, a person who respects and loves his parents extremely, thinks that people who are unfilial are all worthy of death, and killed those who disrespect their parents.

Ming Shu propped his eyelids and leaned on the sofa, "I think I thought of it, but that case is an example. Only one heart of the tomb was found among countless people. When they saw the unfilial, they killed them. Although it is not ruled out that there are such people. , But the possibility is very low. But the time of Meng Shan's death is really interesting."

"On the third day after Meng Yonghui's cremation, Meng Shan was killed." Xiao Yuan said, "Coincidentally."

"Xiao Man told me that the Meng's house had obvious cleaning marks, and there were no footprints on the floor - not even Meng Shan's, but the luminol test responded and there was a small amount of blood on the ground." Ming Shu said: "Now it is possible. Sure, Meng’s house is the first scene. After Meng Yonghui’s death, Meng Shan lived alone. There were no signs of damage to the door and no signs of climbing on the windows. There were two possibilities for the murderer to enter the Meng’s house. One was to follow him and rush when Meng Shan opened the door. Go in, knock on the door, and Meng Shan took the initiative to open the door. It's hard to say whether the two know each other, because even if they are strangers, Meng Shan may open the door for any reason."

Ming Shu paused for two seconds, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "From the door of Meng’s house to downstairs, there is a dragging trace. It is caused by cotton cloth such as bed sheets. It is suspected that the murderer was wrapped in cotton and dragged. Meng Shan’s body was moved downstairs, and then transported away by some kind of transportation. There is surveillance on the main road of Guangdan Road, but there is no camera in other lanes like the Meng’s house. It is difficult to monitor this way. Lock the murderer. It can only be judged from the time when the neighbor heard the sound. The murder occurred between 11pm and 12pm on December 11th. Teacher Xing judged from the distribution of the corpses that the murderer moved the body shortly after committing the crime. This time will not be later than 4 in the morning."

Xiao Yuan said: "I have seen the autopsy report and the murderer only hit Meng Shan on the head twice. Meng Shan had 21 white dog hairs in her mouth."

"This is also what I care about." Ming Shu said: "The state of the body can reflect the murderer’s psychology when he committed the crime. It was hit twice with a blunt weapon and was not violated, and the clothes were not taken off. This shows that the murderer was very sober and calm at the time. He does not need to vent his anger by hitting repeatedly, and he is also very sure that if he two hammers down, Meng Shan will definitely die. He swings the hammer to kill Meng Shan. The possibility of committing crimes with passion can also be ruled out, because first, he Carrying tools, secondly, most passionate crimes are accompanied by venting of anger. I find it strange here that he seems to have killed Meng Shan, just killed."

"Entering the room to kill, didn't assault the victim, didn't take the money, stayed calm from beginning to end, can solve the opponent twice, not swing the hammer for the third time, afterwards, the scene will be cleaned up, and even the disinfectant will be prepared." Xiao Yuan said: "Your feeling is correct, such a murderer shouldn't just kill Meng Shan. He wants to kill Meng Shan to achieve a certain goal, which must be the same as the 21 he put in Meng Shan's mouth. It’s a bit of hair."

Ming Shu asked, "Brother, what do you think of these 21 dog hairs?"

"Dog hair itself can think of a lot, but the murderer did not put the dog hair elsewhere, but placed it under the victim’s tongue, hiding it very deep. The stray dog ​​bit away part of the victim’s tongue, but this poked the dog’s hair. Stayed there." Xiao Yuan said: "On the other hand, Feng Shui Alley is a paradise for stray dogs. They not only search for food there, but also spend the winter there. The murderer threw the corpse in the trash can in Feng Shui Alley. Wild dogs gnaw. It is possible that what he wants is Meng Shan’s corpse to be gnawed. These two points are combined-hide the dog’s hair under Meng Shan’s tongue and feed the stray dogs with Meng Shan’s body. It's a kind of revenge, plus ridicule."

"--Don't you like dog meat? I let you eat it!" Ming Shu understood Xiao Yuan's meaning, imagined the murderer's tone and said: "But you can't eat anymore now! Look, you were eaten by them! "

"The murderer may be an extreme animal protector, especially loves dogs, while Meng Shan is a dog meat lover." Xiao Yuan said, "but this is only an inference, and there is no evidence to support it."

Ming Shu again thought of Meng Shan’s lower lip with a sharp injury of only 3 mm. “The reason why the murderer threw Meng Shan in Feng Shui Alley is similar to our thoughts-he deliberately let stray dogs bite Meng Shan. But. What's the reason for the bite? Brother, what you mentioned just now is that the murderer loves dogs and asks the dog to avenge Meng Shan himself, but what I thought before was that he wanted to cover the wound he cut on Meng Shan's lower lip."

Xiao Yuan said: "According to your way of thinking, Meng Shan's lips are the purpose of the murderer. Lips represent language ability. The murderer kills Meng Shan, which may be a symbol of'misfortune comes out of the mouth.' This is similar to some murderers cutting off the victim after committing a crime. The tongue is similar."

"If this is the case, then Meng Shan either said something to offend the murderer, or he knew the secret of the murderer, they are acquaintances." Ming Shu pressed the corner of his lips after speaking, his expression was a little bit hesitant.

Xiao Yuan: "Huh?"

"When I first learned that the face of the body was eaten, I thought about the possibility of the murderer'cannibalizing', but Teacher Xing denied it to me." Ming Shu said: "This 3 mm injury appears weird, probably because of preconceptions. I still think about'cannibalism'."

"The murderer cut off Meng Shan's lower lip, and then ate it." Xiao Yu settled for a few seconds, "Meng Shan's lower lip is very attractive to the murderer?"

With that, Xiao Yuan walked around to the computer and clicked on a few photos of Meng Shan.

Ignoring the rustic dress, Meng Shan is actually a very beautiful woman with a small face and exquisite features. The height of 1.63 meters is not short among the women in Dongye City. She is well-proportioned and has a small dimple on her face when she laughs. , Looks a lot younger than the actual age.

"Where is her most prominent?" Xiao Yuan asked, "Don't think deeply, just feel first."

"Brows." Ming Shu said, "Her eyebrows attract me the most. How about you?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Eyes."

Ming Shu took his hand, "It seems that our opinions are not unified."

"In this case, the murderer might have noticed her lips at first sight." Xiao Yuan said, "Of course, this is just a conclusion drawn from your'cannibalism' judgment."

Ming Shu looked down and thought for a long time, then suddenly noticed a small tin box on the table, "What is this? Rose candy? You would actually eat this?"

"Jinlan sent you, I just took a box and put it here." Xiao Yuan laughed, "Anyway, you will eat it if you see it."

Ming Shu put the small tin box in the pocket of his police pants, "I'll go to Meng Shan's company."

The Shuguang Commercial Building sounds very grand, but it is not a formal office building, but a residential building.

At present, office rents in bustling road sections are getting higher year by year, and not every company can afford it. So some residential buildings next to commercial districts or transportation hubs are slowly being converted into office buildings. Household owners make money and businesses save money. , A win-win situation.

However, these remodeled commercial buildings cannot keep up with the supporting facilities. The elevators are old, the garbage is often uncleaned, and the property safety is not guaranteed. Any company can move in. You don’t know if you are sitting in the office next door. Criminal criminals.

Fang Yuanhang and others have arrived first. The other shops on the 21st floor were all panicked when they saw so many police officers. They closed the doors tightly for fear that the police would find them.

Ming Shu looked around at random in the aisle, and he knew in his heart.

"This is Meng Shan's work station." Chen Jinghuan was very nervous, her voice trembling, "Meng Shan, she really had an accident?"

The workstation consists of a separate table, a pure black mesh chair, and a computer. There is an upside-down cup on the table, which seems to have been cleaned. Xiao Man squatted on the side of the chair, and stroked the chair inch by inch with his latex gloved hand.

Autumn and winter is the season of hair loss. If you sit and work for a long time, your hair is easy to fall on the chair, but this kind of chair is not smooth, and the hair falls on it. As long as you don’t clean it up specifically, it won’t slip off, at most it will fall into the gap. .

At present, Meng's family has been thoroughly searched, and the DNA comparison of the home samples confirmed that the "faceless female corpse" was Meng Shan, but Meng Shan's face and fingerprints were all destroyed. Without relatives, the murderer could not forge the examination. Material—just like Tan Guosheng many years ago.

Although this possibility is very small, Xiao Man still hopes to confirm as far as possible that the "faceless female corpse" is Meng Shan. If the sample can be extracted at the place where Meng Shan works, its DNA will be the same as the "faceless female corpse". Go on, then you can rest assured.

Half a minute later, Xiao Man pulled out two long hairs from the gap in the chair.

"It's been a while since these hairs fell, can DNA tests still be done?" Fang Yuanhang was a little worried.

"I'll try my best." Xiao Man stood up as he said, his eyes met Chen Jinghuan, and the other party hurriedly looked away.

Technical investigation has checked Meng Shan's communication records before, and Chen Jinghuan is the person who has contacted Meng Shan the most among all his colleagues. Fang Yuanhang looked at the desks of the two, "Are you seats next to each other?"

Chen Jinghuan nodded, "We came here to work almost at the same time."

"What kind of person is Meng Shan?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "What did you say when you contacted her for the last time?"

Chen Jinghuan’s eyes flushed, and she froze for a long time before she said: “Actually, I am not familiar with Meng Shan. She doesn’t like to talk. She always does things by herself. I call her and talk about work. She, she Don’t talk to us about personal matters."

This statement was confirmed by other employees.

In everyone's eyes, Meng Shan is a lifeless woman with a pretty face, but she doesn't know how to dress herself. She doesn't make up, dresses rustic, and works as soon as she arrives in the office. She never communicates with everyone unless necessary.

"The last time she contacted me was when she called me, saying that her father had passed away and asked me to ask for leave." Chen Jinghuan's eyes moved from side to side, and it seemed that there was nothing left to say.

Ming Shu stepped forward and pulled Fang Yuanhang away. He didn't ask questions immediately, but looked at Chen Jinghuan's eyes seriously.

Chen Jinghuan was even more anxious, and whispered, "I, that's all I know."

"Come out and chat." Ming Shu said, "You seem to have something to tell me."

The whole studio was filled with a weird atmosphere. Chen Jinghuan followed Ming Shu to the outside terrace, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I think our boss is a bit strange."

The owner of the studio, Long Xiaoqing, has never appeared today. If it were normal, she would have cursed people in the office because of typographical errors and typographical errors.

Chen Jinghuan remembered that when she said she was going to call the police last time, Long Xiaoqing made a fire and said that no one was allowed to call the police, and then she didn't show up in the studio much.

"Meng Shan's bereavement leave should be over long ago, but she has not come to work. I suspect that something has happened and want to call the police, but our boss is not allowed." Chen Jinghuan lowered her head: "She, she didn't come today."

Meng Shan started working in this company three years ago. It started as text proofreading. Later, there were not enough art editors. After learning with others for a few days, she started to typesetting on the computer. Because of her hard work and hard work, she earned income in the entire studio. It's pretty decent in the beauty series.

And this company seems to be the only channel for Meng Shan to contact the society.

Is this company related to Meng Shan's death?

Ming Shu immediately called Fang Yuanhang over and asked Zhou Yuan to lock in on Long Xiaoqing's whereabouts.

Later, Xiao Man extracted DNA from the two hairs. After comparison, it was confirmed to be the same as the "faceless female corpse" in Meng Shan's home.

When Long Xiaoqing was approached by the criminal police, her face was pale with fright, and she said hurriedly: "Meng Shan just works for me. I don't know her. Our entire company doesn't know her. You can check it elsewhere!"

Fang Yuanhang frowned, "You are so nervous because there is something worried about being found by us?"

Long Xiaoqing's face was even more ugly.

Fang Yuanhang said: “Let’s explain it honestly, about Meng Shan, and about your Dragon Girl Design Studio.”

When she was taken to the crime squad, Long Xiaoqing’s usual energy of scolding employees had disappeared. She sat faintly under the light, “Our company first did advertising flyers, corporate culture brochures, and some channels. Magazines were also printed here. Later, some school printing and teaching assistants were also here. This is what your police check every year for illegal printing."

The investigation of illegal printing is not a matter of the crime squad. Fang Yuanhang asked: “You know that Meng Shan is missing because you are afraid of exposing your business, but you don’t want to call the police?”

Long Xiaoqing opened his mouth for a long time, "How much will I be fined? Will I go to jail?"

The police officer who came by the Economic Investigation Corps said: "It depends on the plot."

"Then I actively confess, can I take it leniently?" Long Xiaoqing said anxiously: "It is not easy to make money now. I have such a large group of people, I..."

At this time, Fang Yuanhang heard Zhou Yuan's voice coming from the headset-there were a large number of cult propaganda manuals in the illegal prints of Dragon Girl Design Studio, and the original files of these manuals all came from Meng Shan's computer!

Long Xiaoqing was speechless, so she had to confess, "What I fear most is that you find those manuals. I don't know if Meng Shan's accident is related to those manuals. The money they gave is high, saying that I only care about the design. And printing, even if something goes wrong, it’s absolutely impossible to catch me. Meng Shan doesn’t like talking and needs money, so I let her do it. Only then did it start. But you believe me, I have nothing to do with a cult at all. No, there is a national flag hanging at my door. I am patriotic and love more than money!"

This is undoubtedly a key clue.

"The 21 dog hairs are inherently evil!" Xing Mu jumped up from his seat when he knew it, "If it is related to a cult, then it makes sense! Meng Shan might be doing a pamphlet for the cult. Shi was implicated in, and then killed by them!"

Once any case involves a cult, it will inevitably become a major case.

Ming Shu did not hesitate and immediately reported to Xiao Yuan.

This cult is called "God in the Heart" and it preaches that people are most divine when they are most successful-that is, the "peak of life" that people often call. If they commit suicide at this time, the **** in their heart will leave the mortal womb and become The true **** has since got rid of the turmoil of the world, and his destiny has become one with the universe.

But no matter how grandiose the believers package the fallacy, its essence is still to instigate people to commit suicide.

Dongye City is a developed city and cult activities are absolutely prohibited. When exactly did this "God in the Heart" develop in Dongye City, and to what extent it has developed now, it is not known for the time being.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau and the Special Police Corps held an emergency meeting, ready to take immediate action.

On winter nights, outside the "Chuangou" villa area in Dongcheng District, the red and blue lights of police cars flashed alternately.

Although it is a villa area, there are basically no residents. Some new media companies and Internet celebrity incubation companies are stationed here, and they output popcorn information to the outside world day and night.

According to the clues provided by Long Xiaoqing, the main members of "God in the Heart" are in one of the villas.

"This'God of Heart' nest is in the north. I heard about them when I went to the north to participate in special training. There is a problem with these people." Lu Yanzhou said, tapping his temple. "They don't engage in the same way as other cults. Terrorist attacks, but they do their own thing, say they commit suicide, and commit suicide when a high-ranking person commits suicide, followed by a series of suicides, which is similar to ancient sacrificial burials. The believers were completely brainwashed, and they felt that following the priest's death is the most honor In the first half of the year, two-thirds of people in a village below Xiaocheng committed suicide overnight."

Ming Shu turned his face and frowned at Lu Yanzhou.

When the weather was cold, Lu Yanzhou was faced with a white mist as soon as he spoke, "Fortunately, you found it in time. It seems that the "shen in the heart" has not developed here. Once they have finished laying the net, things will be difficult to control."

Special police officers in black combat suits surrounded the strongholds of the "God in the Heart", and the muffler made a short muffled sound. Soon, a group of men and women were brought out, and three of them shouted-"You are against the gods." Blasphemy!"

"Profanity!" Lu Yanzhou cursed, "No matter how noble the suicide is, it is also suicide!"

The task of removing the remnants of the "God in the Heart" is done by the Special Police Headquarters, and the crime team is only responsible for investigating their relationship with Meng Shan's death.

Li Qingfei, a northerner, 39 years old, is the person in charge of the Dongye stronghold of "God in the Heart".

Looking at the photo of Meng Shan, Li Qingfei looked dazed and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know this person."

"Your brochures are all made by her!" Fang Yuanhang said, "Why don't you know?"

Li Qingfei opened his mouth for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "If you convert to my teaching, your sins will be paid for..."

"Crazy man." Yi Fei opened the door, "Everyone has been interrogated, and they all said they have never seen Meng Shan."

Ming Shu folded his arms and stared at the monitor in the interrogation room, slowly pressing the corners of his lips.

The "God in the Heart" has already caused many cult suicides in several small cities and towns in the north because of the "God in the Heart".

All the people who died were believers, and without exception, they committed suicide. At least in the information available to the police at this stage, there was no homicide in the case related to "God in the Heart", and no deceased had dog hair in the mouth.

The death of Meng Shan is completely different from the death caused by "God in the Heart".

Could it be that the murder of Meng Shan has nothing to do with "the **** of the heart"? Has nothing to do with Dragon Girl Design Studio?

Thinking, Ming Shu took out a rose candy from the small tin box.

It seems that I have to change my mind.

At this time, Zhou Yuan knocked on the door and squeezed in with his notebook, "Ming team, Yi team, I have a discovery here."
