Madness of the Heart

After saying "killing", Zhou Yu entered a weird state of madness, laughing for a while, crying for a while, and finally jumped onto the table and plunged into the boiling hot soup pot.

For a moment, Zhou Yu was a lunatic, but he was still very sensitive to pain. He was so hot that he wailed. The sound was like a dying dog, which caused the dogs in the nearby farmhouse to respond.

Zhou Changyou hurriedly tore Zhou Yu off, slapped him with his head, "I'm driving you crazy! I'm driving you crazy!"

Zhou Yu cried hysterically, and Ming Shu finally asked him a question: "Is that a brother or sister?"

"Brother!" Zhou Yu said, "Tall! Brother!"

Ming Shu took a breath.

The **** of the murderer is a major doubt. Judging from the characteristics of the crime shown in the Meng Shan case, it is more likely that the murderer is a male, but it cannot be ruled out that strong women commit the crime, and the cutting of lips and the suspected eating of the lips suggest that the murderer is a woman.

In Tang Qian’s case, Tang Qian booked a couple’s room and bought a by-unit, so she should be waiting for a man.

Taken together, it can almost be concluded that the murderer is a male.

As for the suspected lips-eating behavior, there may be other explanations.

But after all, no one has ever seen a murderer, and Ming Shu cannot be 100% sure of the murderer's gender.

Although Zhou Yu had IQ problems, his act of clenching his fists and smashing his head proved that he was a witness at the time of the murder-most likely the only witness.

He saw that the murderer was a man.

Unfortunately, he did not see clearly, or could not remember the murderer's appearance and clothing characteristics.

"When I heard him howling, I got goose bumps!" Fang Yuanhang handed his forearm to Ming Shu, "It's pitiful and oozing."

Ming Shu slapped his apprentice's dirty hands away. "Zhou Yu can't describe the appearance of the murderer, so we can only investigate it by ourselves. In late October, Fengsheng Town was still in the tourist season with many tourists, so the murderer was hidden. Among them, the task of investigation is quite arduous. The murderer may have stayed in Zhou Changyou’s farmhouse. Before and after Tang Qian’s death, everyone on the farmhouse’s order had to be verified."

"If I were the murderer, I wouldn't live in any farmhouse." Fang Yuanhang said: "As long as I move in, I must leave a record. Isn't this exposing myself?"

"That's the case, but it can't be ignored." Ming Shu unconsciously took out the small tin box containing the rose candy, switched from his left hand to the right hand while speaking, opened the candy and ate the candy. "The murderer may play a counter-logic. "

Fang Yuanhang stared at the small tin box and suddenly said, "Master, where did you buy the rose candy?"

Ming Shu was full of cases, and said without thinking: "Give it to Xiao Ju."

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

Ming Shu: "..."

"Master, I'm busy." Fang Yuanhang turned around politely and awkwardly, "I will check everyone out for you!"

Let you send me a wedding candy after eating rose candy!

Ming Shu looked down at the small tin box, put it back into the police pants pocket two seconds later, returned to the police car, and opened the instant video sent by Xu Chun.

Dongye City, Shunyi Street.

"I didn't call the police because I didn't even know that Tang Qian was missing!"

The owner of the "Taohuajiao" studio is a man in his thirties, wearing a modified suit with thin arms and legs, and his ankles are exposed on a cold day. "She resigned with me in late October. I'm looking for a job diary for you...Hey, look, the last time she came to work was October 24."

Xu Chun asked: "What is the reason for Tang Qian's resignation? The end of the year is the peak of your business. You didn't try to keep her?"

The boss waved his hand: "No need, I won't rush if you are willing to stay with me, nor will I stay if you don't want to.

Xu Chun saw that the boss hadn't finished speaking, and asked, "What else do you seem to want to say?"

The boss froze and was a little embarrassed, "I know you want to learn about Tang Qian’s social circle from me, but I really don’t know. In our business, we must deal with those incompetent people in your eyes. We all have business. If you do it, it’s a pretty girl or you sell it, so everyone has some secrets. If you don’t want to let others know your secrets, then don’t inquire about others’ secrets. Police officer, do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean, although you are a colleague, you don't understand each other." Xu Chun paused, "But you are not Tang Qian's colleague, but her boss. You should always know something better than others."

The boss's already relaxed expression tightened again.

"Tang Qian was killed, just the day after he resigned and left." Xu Chun said solemnly: "The details you know can help us detect this murder case."

The boss twisted his waist uncomfortably, "Tang, Tang Qian is not very good in character and offends many people. The employees in our store, including myself, don’t get along well with her..."

Xu Chun said: "This is the reason you accepted her resignation?"

"Speaking of this, I don't hide anything." The boss took out a lady's cigarette and said, "Tang Qian is a rural person. Ah, I am not discriminating against rural people. I also came from the country. But I don’t have her weird problems."

Xu Chun asked: "What's wrong? Tell me in detail."

"She... how to say..." The boss said for a long time, as if he couldn't find the right words: "She admires men."

"What?" Xu Chun thought he had misheard, "Mu Nan?"

"Oh, let me explain this to you." The boss shook his soot. "Some rural patriarchs are patriarchal, to what extent do they treat men as superior and women as inferior. Do you understand? "

Xu Chun nodded.

As criminal policemen, especially field criminal policemen, the more they go to remote mountain villages, the more clearly they will understand the patriarchal situation.

"Aren't there many people engaged in feminist movements on social media? I am also a supporter, but Tang Qian is not. She is a woman, and she curses these activities!" The boss showed a surprised expression, "As a woman, she looks down on Woman-including herself. She is really affected by her living environment. She is deeply ingrained and feels that women are men's vassals, women are inferior to men, and if others want to help her, she thinks that others are nosy. Anyway. Anything that comes to her is a double standard for men and women. What a man says is bullshit, it is also an imperial decree, and what a woman says is reasonable, but it is bullshit. As long as she is a man, she admires it, don’t watch her dress up. She is so foreign, in fact, there is a...minion in her heart!"

"Minion." Ming Shu put the phone on the shelf.

Before hearing the description of the boss of "Peach Blossom Jiao", he did not expect Tang Qian to have the so-called "Mu Nan" trait.

Tang Qian is obedient to male words, so the murderer is indeed easy to manipulate Tang Qian.

Tang Qian's resignation and vacation in Fengsheng Town were mostly orders from the murderer.

But how did the murderer give orders to Tang Qian?

Tang Qian's communication records are now being queried one by one. Unlike Meng Shan, Tang Qian has numerous contacts on her phone, and her online chat history is quite explicit.

"Tang Qian often said that women are useless, women should be vassals for men, women make up and dress up, but also to make men look comfortable." The boss shook his head, "I feel unacceptable to her thoughts. Our store's The girl bothers her and doesn’t like to work with her. She also despises her homosexuality. What she often talks about is—my brother said. Her brother is indeed promising, a college student, but she will not treat her Don’t you let my brother be a god? We have a lot of bars here. When she’s not working, she goes to the bars to find men. As long as a man takes care of her, she feels very proud, as if she has some light on her. Everyone in the neighborhood knows what she is. People and women can’t understand her, and men may just play with her. Several customers who come to me often complain to me many times, saying they don’t want to see her or listen to her. It’s time to serve men’s nonsense. But she has been working with me for several years, and I’m not good at dismissing her casually. That day, she took the initiative to resign, and I approved it."

After the conversation, Tang Qian's image became clear in Xu Chun's mind, and she asked, "Do you know which bars Tang Qian often goes to?"

The boss took Xu Chun outside the door and pointed to three places, "Just there, there, and there. I really don’t know about the other things. Don’t tell me what clues I provided. I don’t want to say that I have provided any clues. Get yourself in trouble."

When the serious case was organized into action, Tang Qian's family came to Dongye City.

As the boss of "Tao Hua Jiao" said, this is indeed a family where men are inferior to women. Tang Qian's mother and sister, like Tang Qian, have no status in the family.

The family made a big disturbance in the Criminal Investigation Bureau and asked the police to give an explanation immediately and compensate them for the loss of the whole family.

"I heard you right?" Zhou Yuan asked in amazement: "Their daughter was killed. They only regarded it as a'loss'? We need to pay compensation? We are the police, how can we compensate?"

Xu Chun said, "Huh, I thought it was the police station in their village."

Zhou Yuan didn't understand, "The police station can't do this either. Did they even know that their daughter was killed?"

"I know, but don't care. In a family like them, only men are precious. Women are like pigs and dogs at home. Death is just a'loss' that can be made up for with money. You stay in the game. Here, I usually don’t get in touch with these people, so I watch a lot.” Xu Chun sighed, “The cognition of'man is noble, woman is humble' has taken root in Tang Qian's heart, and it was her family that gave her the mark.' The brand of "Mu Nan" and "Enemy Girl"."

"Does'Mu Nan' and the'Enemy Girl' definitely have a connection? Will Tang Qian's killing have anything to do with this?" Zhou Yuan said: "The murderer hates people like Tang Qian and thinks she is a cancer that must be eradicated? But How should Meng Shan's death be explained? Meng Shan is introverted, she rarely touches men, and has no clear tendency to'admirate men'."

"Killed because of the'Mu Nan' tendency?" Xiao Yuan came down from the stairs, just in time to hear Xu Chun and Zhou Yuan's discussion.

"Xiao Ju." Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed, "I just talk about it casually."

Xiao Yuan said: "It's a very novel idea, remember to mention it with the Ming team during the meeting."

·

The Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Beicheng Sub-bureau quickly found out that the person whose online name was "Silence also", whose real name was Cai Xinyue, was female, 31 years old, and was the designer of the "Storm" Secret Chamber Club in Nancheng District.

Knowing that Huang Yan was killed at home, Cai Xinyue's reaction is intriguing.

She didn't react immediately, then smiled and said "how is it possible", while Xiang Tao kept staring at her eyes earnestly.

When finally realizing that the young detective in front of him was not joking, Cai Xinyue's cheeks suddenly turned pale, and the panic in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed, "Sister Yan, Sister Yan is really dead?"

Xiang Tao said: "Really?"

In the morning on weekdays, there are not many guests in the "Storm" Secret Room Club. There is only a table of guests in the public area. Two cleaning aunts are wiping the demon statue by the window.

Cai Xinyue's lips moved, and she looked around in fear, "Let's talk in another place."

Xiang Tao followed Cai Xinyue to an empty room.

There are various props stacked in the room, the most noticeable are the two huge wolf heads. Probably it hasn't been used for a long time. The right eye of a wolf's head has been dropped, and the empty cavity is directly facing Xiang Tao, which makes people feel uncomfortable inexplicably.

But soon, Xiang Tao discovered that the uncomfortable feeling came not only from the wolf's head, but also from the atmosphere in the whole room.

Before it was used as a storage room, it was supposed to be a hospital scene. The walls were painted blood red with many slap prints. In these slap prints, the baby's face and the adult's rickety figure were vaguely visible.

There are two operating tables in the center of the room. Like the walls, the operating tables are full of blood.

There are dilapidated cabinets on the wall, and the bottles and jars inside are soaked with human and animal organs in formalin.

Of course, these are just professional sets.

Xiang Tao has played many secret rooms, knowing that this kind of scene was once all the rage, but now it has been replaced by more terrifying and spiritual scenes, so after losing its popularity, it was transformed into a temporary warehouse.

"What is the relationship between you and Huang Yan?" Xiang Tao pulled his attention from the scene, and suddenly realized that Cai Xinyue brought herself to this room, perhaps more than just "borrow a step to talk".

Anyone who enters here will forget for a moment what was being considered at the time.

Cai Xinyue may want to interfere with him.

But what is the reason Cai Xinyue did this?

"We...we are just ordinary friends." Cai Xinyue looked away, "You have also seen that my job is to design the script of the secret room. I need a lot of folklore and spiritual materials, and I have to go to secret rooms all over the country to learn from it. Sometimes I have to look for clues on the Internet. Sister Yan, I met Huang Yan on the Internet. She is very knowledgeable and really an expert in this area. She has written about horror before. I know that she and I are in Dongye City. I often ask her for advice, she, she has helped me a lot. Sometimes I have a preliminary idea of ​​a secret room script, and she will help me add a lot of attractive elements."

Xiang Tao observes Cai Xinyue's expression. Although he has just learned that someone he knows has been killed, the emotions of normal people will fluctuate greatly, but Cai Xinyue is dodge and afraid, not sad.

"Ordinary friend?" Xiang Tao said, "But you seem to know why Huang Yan died?"

Cai Xinyue immediately slipped a string of cold sweat on her forehead.

Xiang Tao said: "Ms. Cai, the look in your eyes makes me wonder. You have known that something might happen to Huang Yan."

Cai Xinyue stiffened when she heard the words, stepped back a few steps, stepped on the amputated props behind her with high heels, and made a soft noise.

"Ah!" Cai Xinyue yelled, supporting the wall with his right hand.

"I didn't know that she might have something wrong, yes, yes..." Cai Xinyue's eyes were red, and she spoke haltingly. "I have been in this business for a long time, and I am more and more afraid of ghosts and gods, and believe in karma."

Xiang Tao brought a chair and wiped the dust off it, "Sit down and talk, what's the matter?"

Cai Xinyue sat for a while, and finally said: "Sister Yan has raised her, and she has raised a pair of ghost children."

Xiang Tao immediately remembered the 24 "ghost cards".

The most primitive "ghost card" in Qiuxu Village is made from the old man's corpse oil and the baby's heart blood!

"Have you seen these things?" Xiang Tao called up the picture of "Ghost Card".

Cai Xinyue tried to cover her mouth as soon as she saw it, not allowing herself to scream.

Xiang Tao said: "You really have seen it. Where did Huang Yan get these'ghost cards'?"

"Where did you find these things?" Cai Xinyue said in horror: "The corpse? The corpse! Is it next to Sister Yan's corpse?"

Xiang Tao shook his head, "Why do you think they will appear next to the corpse?"

"Because they are irritated! Sister Yan is dead, and I will die too!" Cai Xinyue cried, "We shouldn't touch these things!"

Xiang Tao understood, "You also have a'ghost card'?"

Cai Xinyue nodded tremblingly, "It was a year ago..."

A year ago, Cai Xinyue encountered a bottleneck in her work and confided to Huang Yan. Huang Yan first comforted her, and then proposed to go "transportation" together.

At first, Cai Xinyue didn't know that Huang Yan's "transportation" was a "ghost card", so she followed Huang Yan to a place called "Silin Town" in the north. Because of the backwardness, many families would just give birth to a girl and discard it on the mountain, or just suffocate to death.

Some people who make "ghost cards"-called "master craftsmen" in this industry-look for discarded and breathing girls around the town, take their hearts, and make "ghost cards" "Some "master craftsmen" even go to the townspeople's homes to "purchase" baby girls.

Cai Xinyue was shocked when she knew it. In her cognition, after Qiu Xu Village, which specializes in "ghost cards", was strictly controlled, there would be no "ghost cards" in the folks. I didn't expect the "master craftsmen" to be in other places. Villages and towns take root.

Huang Yan said that she came here to raise her "daughters." These baby girls were abandoned in the mountains. Even if the "master craftsman" didn't do anything, they couldn't survive. The "master craftsman" did it, which was equivalent to destroying their souls. After saving, she supports them, and they will protect her and make her business better and better.

Cai Xinyue saw "Master Craftsman" making "Ghost Cards". Huang Yan's 24 "Ghost Cards" were made from the heart blood of a pair of twin baby girls. "Master Craftsman" told her to put 12 of them. In the bedroom, the other 12 are placed in the other rooms of the house, so be sure to offer them with all your heart.

Cai Xinyue seems to have been caught in an evil spirit. The ghost enchanted the "master craftsman" to also make a "ghost card" for himself.

With the "ghost card", Cai Xinyue obviously felt that her work had improved. Although she was still a little scared, when she thought that these baby girls were dead anyway, doing this by herself would be regarded as praying for them, and she gradually felt relieved.

Xiang Tao was shocked, "You can actually do this kind of thing?"

Cai Xin shook her head unceasingly, "But I didn't kill people! You save me! I don't want to die!"

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

People who had close contact with Tang Qian one month before Tang Qian’s death have all confirmed their identities. Among them are bartenders, white-collar workers who come to Shunyi Street for fun, and "male models" who perform at night. These people all admitted that they had a relationship with Tang Qian, but they refused to admit that it was related to Tang Qian's death. After further investigation, they all had an alibi from October 26th to 27th.

"The alibi can't completely clear their suspicions." Fang Yuanhang said: "Tang Qian was only captured by Nongjiale's camera on the 26th and the last time the phone was used on the 26th. This does not mean that she was between the 26th and the 27th. Teacher Xing did not give a specific time of death when they were killed between the two."

Xing Mu raised his hand innocently, "It has been more than a month since Tang Qian was killed, and I cannot accurately determine the time of death to the day."

"If the murderer had arrived in Fengsheng Town on the 26th, why would Tang Qian disappear?" Ming Shu said, "She won't hide where she herself is. She has been hiding for more than three days, waiting for the murderer to kill her, right?"

Fang Yuanhang thought, "This is true."

"Is it possible that these people were the murderers? You can refer to the time when Meng Shan was killed." Ming Shu added: "Don't forget, the two cases have been combined. The person who killed Tang Qian was the person who killed Meng Shan, Meng Shan. The time of death can be accurate not only to the day, but also to the hour."

"Since the murderer is a serial murderer aiming at beautiful female lips, he should not be exposed easily." Yi Fei said: "He and Tang Qian should have other ways of contact. Tang Qian resigned and ordered the farmhouse to go to Feng. Before she was promoted to the town, these were the words of the murderer. The murderer was already on the line with Tang Qian when she was still working in Tao Huajiao. When the murderer killed Meng Shan, he did it directly in the city, without hiding the body, then When the murderer killed Tang Qian, why did she lead Tang Qian to Fengsheng Town?"

"The murderer killed Tang Qian before killing Meng Shan. There is a pattern in serial murders, and the murderer will be bolder in the constant crimes. For the first time-assuming Tang Qian is the first victim-the murderer is worried about committing crimes in the city. Exposing herself, so he led Tang Qian to the town and bury the body." Ming Shu said, "But I chose Fengsheng Town... Is it because the murderer is familiar with Fengsheng Town? Fengsheng Town is the same as Textile Road and Guangdan Road, and he is also him. Safe zone?"

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Will the murderer be a native of Fengsheng Town? Let me take care of it. He was born in Fengsheng Town and is very familiar with Fengsheng Town. He currently lives in the city, and his main activity area is North. In the area of ​​Textile Road and Guangdan Road in the urban area, the second is Shunyi Street in Nancheng District."

When everyone was nervously combing through the clues, the technical team finally determined the half-rotted hair in Tang Qian's mouth.

It was indeed not a dog's hair, but a poke of duck's hair.
