Madness of the Heart

"It's dog hair and duck feather again. What do you mean by murderer?" Fang Yuanhang asked puzzledly: "Is it humiliating the dead?"

Ming Shu put his hands in his police pants pockets and walked silently to the corridor.

Meng Shan's mouth was stuffed with dog hair. Before she was sure that the hair in Tang Qian's mouth was duck feather, she could still think that the murderer might be an extreme dog lover, and Meng Shan had a soft spot for dog meat. It is winter, and Dongye City does not prohibit the sale of dog meat. The vegetable market vendor across Guangdan Road confirmed that Meng Shan had bought dog meat once when it first entered the winter.

But what Tang Qian said was duck feathers.

Is the murderer not only an extreme dog lover, but also an extreme duck protector?

In theory, it is not impossible, but in fact the possibility is very low.

In these two cases, their cut lips were the key point. The murderer aimed at their similar lips, and they were both beautiful women with good facial features.

But what do dog and duck feathers imply?

Ming Shu lowered his head slightly, walking back and forth in the corridor.

Is it really "cannibalism"?

The murderer ate the lips of Meng Shan and Tang Qian like the woman who ate the young healthy bladder?

In the interrogation room of the special operations team, the woman arrogantly smiled and said: "You can kill pigs and cattle. Why can't I kill men and eat their bladder? Is there any difference between killing men and killing livestock? In your eyes, pigs and cows are inferior to humans, and they are livestock that can be killed and eaten, so your behavior is legal. But in my eyes, those men are also inferior livestock. Do they have to be humans if they look like humans Is it? You don’t think so naively that people are not divided into different categories, right? I have money and ability. For me, they are the same low-level people and livestock. I will eat a few. , Which law has been violated?"

Ming Shu stood still suddenly.

livestock.

In the eyes of the woman, the eight men whose bladders were cut off were just animals resembling pigs and cows.

Does the murderer have similar thoughts this time?

To him, Meng Shan and Tang Qian are just livestock similar to dogs and ducks?

He eats their lips, just like eating dogs and ducks?

If he had committed a crime before, would the victim put pig feathers, chicken feathers, and fish scales in his mouth?

Such a perverted cannibalism must continue to commit crimes!

The probability that he chooses the target is random. Meng Shan was followed and did not know him before being killed. Tang Qian communicated with him. Because of "Musan", he was easily bewitched by him and willingly quit his job and went. Fengsheng Town "waits to die".

A net gradually spread out in Ming Shu's mind.

Although there are many people Tang Qian can reach, the area is actually very narrow. The murderer spotted Tang Qian at a bar or a livehouse on Shunyi Street. Every time they communicated with Tang Qian, Tang Qian might have asked him. Contact information, but he did not give it. They will not meet too few times, but they will never be too many, because if there are too few, Tang Qian may not listen to him so much, and if there are too many, Tang Qian will definitely not be satisfied with not being able to get contact information.

So in Shunyi Street, he is a "semi-frequent visitor".

As for his appearance, his looks will never be bad, and his age will not be too big.

The night scene on Shunyi Street is where he has fun, and the area around Textile Road and Guangdan Road may be where he works and lives.

Ming Shu's thumb rubbed gently on his index finger. The investigation on Guangdan Road has come to an end. Only the owner of the biscuits stall said that Meng Shan felt that someone was following her. No one else mentioned that suspicious people appeared on Guangdan Road.

This is not in line with common sense.

Since Meng Shan felt that someone was following her, it was impossible for this person to appear only once or twice. One person is following another, to ensure that he is not found, it is impossible to be like an ordinary passerby in actions and expressions.

And Guangdan Road is a very special place. The people there are engaged in funeral business. This business is not divided into day and night. At night, there are still many people on Guangdan Road. They either drove out to pick up the remains, or go with equipment. Give people a mourning hall.

With so many people, didn't anyone notice the person who followed Meng Shan?

There is only one possibility. It is normal for that person to appear on Guangdan Road.

He should appear on Guangdan Road!

"The murderer is most likely a practitioner in the funeral industry." Ming Shu told Xiao Yuan of his thoughts. "He may even live on Guangdan Road, and Shunyi Street is where he relaxes. When he killed Tang Qian, he chose In Fengsheng Town, this is a big change. I'm not sure if he chose a place randomly or feels safe in Fengsheng Town."

"I prefer the latter." Xiao Yuan said: "After he killed Meng Shan and killed Tang Qian, according to the progressive law of serial murders, when he handled Meng Shan's body, he chose a place he was familiar with. Then Before that, he was more likely to bury Tang Qian's body in a place familiar to him."

Ming Shu nodded, "The crime profile is now more specific-a handsome young man living in and around Guangdan Road, funeral practitioners, single, and enough time to spend the night on Shunyi Street on the other side of the city. Life, born in Fengsheng Town, or used to live in Fengsheng Town."

Xiao Yuan said: "Add a little bit more, it is extremely aversion to women."

Ming Shu raised his eyes, "Huh?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes were sharp, "Can you eat people?"

Ming Shu almost choked, "Xiao Ju, brother, don't you know if I can eat people?"

"Then I will change the question." Xiao Yuan said: "Those murderers you have been in contact with in the past, except for the woman who eats the bladder, do you think they can eat people?"

Ming Shu thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, they just killed people."

"Yes, they won't." Xiao Yuan said: "Even the most brutal murderers, the possibility of them cannibalism is very low, because in their perception, they kill people, people like themselves. The same kind can be killed, only lower animals can be eaten."

Ming Shu stood up immediately, "The murderer mentally thinks that Meng Shan and Tang Qian are inferior to themselves. What he eats is not humans, but livestock! His psychology is the same as that of the woman who eats the bladder!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Essentially looking down upon. According to these characteristics we have summarized, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation in the areas of Shunyi Street and Guangdan Road. The time between the murder of the murderer is very short, and the time between the killing of Tang Qian and the killing of Meng Shan is only more than one. By month, I suspect that he now has a new goal."

Ming Shu said: "A beautiful woman with lips similar to Meng Shan and Tang Qian."

"Let each branch conduct a detailed investigation of the recent disappearance of young women." Xiao Yuan said: "List all the missing women whose lips are similar to Meng Shan and Tang Qian. The murderer is likely to kill more than Meng Shan and Tang Qian. people."

Ming Shu said: "I will do it immediately."

The office door closed with a "bang", and Xiao Yuan looked at it, and his expression became more serious than before.

Ming Shu rarely closes the door like this, and he is quite anxious this time.

The serial murderer randomly selects targets in the dark, and in a big city like Dongye, it is simply impossible to guard against. The police are in the bright spot, no savvy policeman can know who his next target is, and killing is a momentary matter.

The serial murderers will eventually be arrested, but before they are arrested, many innocent people have lost their lives.

This is the most powerless thing.

Xiao Yuan put his hands on his chest, pacing in thought.

The murderer discriminated against women and focused on beautiful women.

He can eat any part of their body, why choose lips alone?

M-shaped lips.

In "cannibalism" cases abroad, male murderers murdered women, eating the uterus, feet, **** and other parts with strong gender orientation.

In the case Ming Shu handled, the female murderer ate the man’s bladder, which also has a similar meaning.

It's weird that a man eats a woman's mouth, and it has the same lip shape.

If the murderer is a woman, and she eats beautiful, same-sex lips, it can also be understood as dissatisfaction with her lips, hoping to make herself beautiful in a way of "complementing the shape"...

Xiao Yuan suddenly stopped.

woman?

Become beautiful?

Nancheng District, Section 1, Milan Road, Dongye Newspaper Group.

Even though traditional newspapers have been hit by new media with little room for survival, the local news department remains as busy as ever.

Every night, the large and small events that occurred in this city are summarized in the hands of the night teacher in the form of manuscripts, and then distributed to various editors.

In recent years, the threshold for reporters has become lower and lower. Anyone can interview and write manuscripts. The quality of the manuscripts obtained by the editors is uneven. Some of them delete a few paragraphs of nonsense, divide them into several parts, and extract a main title. Some nonsense, no main point, the most important thing is that the main facts cannot be supported by evidence in the manuscript. This is a terrible thing. Once it is published, it may be a "false report."

Wen Ling got a headache looking at this kind of manuscript, and called reporters repeatedly to request additional interviews.

The reporter is a newcomer, a girl who has just graduated from university, shivering when she wants to make additional interviews. After Wen Ling processed other manuscripts, a page was handed over to the American editor for typesetting. The reporter has not sent back the supplementary manuscript.

There is not enough time. If the delay continues, after the publication time, money will be deducted because of the delay.

It’s too easy to be deducted when doing this business. If you’re late, you will be deducted. If the advertisement page is not coordinated, you will be deducted.

Wen Ling got angry and called the reporter again, but she burst into tears over there, saying that the time was too tight, and she couldn't finish the supplementary interview.

Wen Ling's eyes were dark, she immediately took down the semi-finished manuscript and went to the director to ask for a manuscript that could be sent today or tomorrow to make up the "Skylight".

After working as an editor for many years, she has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she can handle it well, but she still feels angry in her heart.

The paper media is sluggish, and complaining is also complaining. These newcomers have no responsibility at all. How simple is it to supplement the interview? When she was a reporter herself, she was able to handle any supplementary interviews that night, instead of waiting for the editor's instructions on the phone.

I don't know whether it is because the times are different, or the young people in their early twenties are spoiled.

Wen Ling sighed for a long time, and heard Xiao Zhao from the American editor shout: "Sister Wen, your manuscript has too many words, I can't put it down."

Wen Ling drove people away and sat down to adjust the layout.

Xiao Zhao is also a newcomer who has just graduated from the School of Design of Dongye University. He has a high degree of education, but he can't do the simplest job. Wen Ling was a person who entered the job during the heyday of the paper media. Although she was a writer, she was very demanding at that time, and she even knew how to do beautiful work.

What Xiao Zhao couldn't figure out, she finished it in threes or twos.

It was like fighting one night, and seeing that the day's work was about to be completed, the night shift reporter suddenly sent a sudden manuscript. The leader was afraid of being snatched away by the same city paper media, and asked Wen Ling to dismantle the manuscript and exchange it.

This kind of thing is too common. It is common that Wen Ling has become numb, and it was already 3 o'clock in the morning when all the pages were signed.

Ma commuted to get off work, and several editors sat in the office to take a break.

The high-intensity work caused Wen Ling's mind to turn a little bit, leaning on the edge of the table in a daze.

"The old Lingzi has become an old Lingzi now." Chang Gaoqiang joked: "Old Lingzi, I suggest you change your position. In this position, you are a woman and you won't be able to work for a lifetime."

Xu Xiaohou echoed: "In our editor, you are a woman in her thirties. It's up to two or three o'clock every day, at five or six o'clock in the meeting, can you bear it?"

Wen Ling waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to speak.

Chang Gaoqiang was more serious this time, "It's really not a problem to keep going like this, you should think about it. You are so beautiful, don't let yourself go."

Colleagues all left, Wen Ling leaned on her engineering chair and dozed off, slowly remembering when she first worked many years ago.

She is beautiful and has no shortage of suitors, but she is too busy at work, working from afternoon to midnight every day, without the time to socialize.

In the past ten years, the suitors disappeared. Others said that she was more charming when she was older. In fact, she knew that she was old.

The job of a newspaper editor is destined that she can only go out day and night. After others are off work, they can go to shopping malls and restaurants, but she does not get off work until early in the morning. The only place for entertainment is Shunyi Street across the road.

She has been to all the bars and clubs there, including the **** bar.

Wen Ling took out the mirror and stared at herself with fine lines on the corners of her eyes.

This face is nourished by thousands of skin care products, and it still looks beautiful now. But Chang Gaoqiang was right, she shouldn't go on like this anymore.

She is the only woman in the entire night shift editorial team. Those female colleagues who have entered the newspaper with her have either changed careers or transferred to day shift positions. She alone persists stupidly.

Maybe it's time to change.

With this in mind, Wen Ling has reached the crossroads between Milan Road and Shunyi Street.

This area is always busier at night than during the day, and Wen Ling hesitates to go to the bar for a drink.

Just have a drink, drink it and sleep well.

Wen Ling persuaded herself and walked across the road.

"Wonderland" is Wen Ling's most frequent bar. It's gay. Wen Ling likes it because drinking here will not be harassed by men with bad intentions.

The figures hugged each other in the light, Wen Ling drank three cups, not as heavy as when she came in.

When she left, she faintly felt that someone was looking at her, but she turned her head back, but she didn't catch a strange look.

"Hum hum……"

Wen Ling bought a house nearby four years ago, and she arrived within a quarter of an hour on foot. She hummed and walked briskly in the night.

Many girls are afraid to go out in the middle of the night, but Wenling used to be a reporter and went to various weird news scenes in the early morning. Now she is an editor and goes home alone every night. She has long been accustomed to the city in the middle of the night and has a growing sense of danger. The more sluggish.

She didn't feel someone behind her until she walked into an alley.

Turning around, he found a woman with long hair and long skirt walking behind.

There is nothing to be afraid of.

Wen Ling thought, people might go home too, just passing this road by chance.

"Crazy Cat" live broadcast platform.

"Stubborn Orchid" was broadcast.

"Lan Lan is here!"

"Lanlan good evening!"

"Lanlan is so lazy lately. It started broadcasting every other day in the first half of the year. Sometimes it was not broadcast at night and it was added during the day. How come it's only broadcast once after so many days? If you stay lazy, the money in my bag won't be rewarded. I'm going to break the money bag!"

"Rich woman is awesome!"

"Who doesn't love rich women!"

The anchor smiled softly at the camera, "I'm sorry, I have been too busy these days. I really don't have much time to broadcast."

"Ahhhhh! Lan Lan is so beautiful to smile!"

"The spaceship is brushed up!"

"My money bag is finally relieved!"

"Lan Lan, what are you up to? Work or life?"

The anchor tilted his head, "Um...Is it a job or a life thing to be busy becoming beautiful?"

"Lanlan, you are so beautiful, do you still want to be beautiful?"

"Look at Lanlan, then look at me, I deserve to be ugly!"

"How to become beautiful? The anchor hurriedly planted grass for me!"

The anchor seemed to hesitate, his eyes with heavy makeup curled slightly and his lips pursed.

"Should we guess? I can't guess."

"Lanlan give me a hint?"

"I'm the only one to find out? Lan Lan often changes her lipstick recently, not much before."

The anchor's index finger touched his lower lip, "Because I am not satisfied with this place."

"Nonsense, your lip shape is very beautiful."

"Not only the shape of your lips, you look good everywhere!"

The anchor showed surprise in his eyes, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I followed your makeup, and my mother praised me for being beautiful!"

"Why your mother?"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Here is coming! The spaceship is coming! Lanlan, I love you!"

"Thank you." The anchor smiled politely, "Do you really think my lips look good?"

"Good-looking good-looking!"

"Quickly tell us what method you used to make it beautiful?"

The anchor smiled brighter, and the lips with gorgeous lipstick seemed to have a mouthful of blood.

"I won't tell you for the time being." The anchor said playfully.

"Wonderland" is one of Tang Qian's frequent bars. The owner's surname is Ning, who is in her forties. Judging from her dress, she doesn't look like the owner of a bar.

"The monitoring is here. If you have any other needs, just tell me." Boss Ning said: "But we have a lot of people here and we have everything to do. If there are criminals in it, I don't know. After all, everyone When you come to my store, you are the guests. I don’t want to ask people what they do.”

In addition to "Wonderland", Tang Qian often goes to "sky" and "Second Battlefield".

But the murderer didn't necessarily ran into Tang Qian in these three places. Even if they ran into him, they might not be caught by the camera.

Checking the monitoring for a month is a heavy task. Zhou Yuan's eyes are red, and there are ghosts in front of him when he stands up.

After rounds of screening, the crime squad finally locked on a man who always wears a light gray suit. This person has appeared next to Tang Qian many times and has physical intimacy with Tang Qian.

And he appeared in "Wonderland" is also very suspicious, after all, "Wonderland" is gay, and he is alone, never talk to men, but close to women.

Boss Ning looked at the man in the red circle, "He usually comes around 10 o'clock. I don't know what he does. After Tang Qian didn't come again, he came less often."

That night, Xu Chun found a man in a light gray suit in another bar on Shunyi Street.

This person's name is Wu Xuecheng, and he is an unknown cartoonist who specializes in violent aesthetics. The women in the pen are all cruel and vicious women.

According to him, he came to Shunyi Street not for pleasure, but to find creative inspiration, men and women active at night, just like the legendary Hyakki nocturnal among neighbors, and Tang Qian’s despising homosexual temperament. , Gave him great creative passion.

"I didn't ask her for contact information, because it is not necessary. I am not concerned about her private life." Wu Xuecheng defended herself, "I haven't seen her for a long time. If you find her, you must tell me."

"Not this person." Ming Shu frowned.

"The people who have been in contact with Tang Qian have all verified that they do not conform to the profile." Yi Fei's face was grim, "Could it be that there is a problem with our direction?"

"Master!" Fang Yuanhang hurried over, "found a missing person who meets the conditions highly!"

Wen Xi, female, 28 years old, like Tang Qian, is not a native of Dongye City. She works in the Haiyangyuan Movie City in Nancheng District and rents in a community near Haiyangyuan. The last time I clocked in to work on September 19 this year, the Cinema City realized that she might have had an accident on September 23, and immediately called the police and notified her family members in other places. The police station opened the case for investigation, but Wen Xi has not been found so far.

Film City and Wen Xi’s family provided multiple photos. This is another beautiful girl, but her beauty is different from Meng Shan and Tang Qian. The only thing in common between their facial features is that their lips are slightly M-shaped. .

"Haiyangyuan Movie City is right next to Shunyi Street!" Fang Yuanhang said: "Three months have passed since September 19, and the murderer killed a woman in one month. I am afraid that Wen Xi has already..."

At the other end of the serious crime team, Xiao Yuan opened the door of the technical investigation office and stood behind Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan stood up quickly, "Xiao Ju."

Xiao Yuan said: "Let me see the monitoring of'Wonderland' again."

While operating, Zhou Yuan said: "We have watched the surveillance over and over many times, and Xu Chun has confirmed the identity of everyone who has been close to Tang Qian."

Xiao Yuan's brows were cold, but there was a light in his eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the obstacles.

"No, you missed someone." he said.

Zhou Yuan was surprised, "Who?"

On the screen, a "beauty" with long wavy hair is standing not far from Tang Qian.

Xiao Yuan said: "A'woman'."
