Madness of the Heart

Beicheng District, Longzhou Road Attached to Third Lane, a house built more than 30 years ago.

Yi Fei broke through the door, and in the darkness, a strong fragrance came to his face.

"What's the smell?" Xu Chun asked.

"Perfume." Yi Fei pressed the light on the ceiling, "The smell of many perfumes mixed together."

The lights illuminate the two-bedroom and one-living house, and its furnishings surprised all the detectives present.

The curtains in the living room are closed tightly. The outer layer is the most common old-fashioned blue curtain, while the inner layer is a pink-blue lace flower curtain.

The common wall spots and tide marks in old houses do not exist here. The walls are decorated with blue and white marine-style stickers. The sofas and coffee tables are European style. Next to them, there is a hanger large enough to be used as a screen, densely packed on top. There are about a hundred ladies' clothes and skirts hanging.

On the opposite side of this "screen", there is a white desktop computer with cameras, microphones, make-up, and pink notebooks on the desk neatly.

This is where "Stubborn Bluegrass" is broadcast live.

Zhou Yuan stepped forward to check the computer, and Yi Fei and Xu Chun walked inside.

Of the two bedrooms, one was open and the other was locked. A team member immediately took out the tool to unlock, and Yi Fei walked into the open one.

It seems that Niu Tianlan usually lives in this room. The style of wallpaper and curtains is the same as that of the living room. The bed is very neat and tidy, and there is a bear doll in plaid clothes on the bedside.

"It's a male bear." Xu Chun said: "Niu Tianlan dressed herself as a woman. If I didn't know who lived here, I would definitely think the owner was a woman when I looked at the style of the house. But why didn't he Make it more complete and put on a doll in a skirt?"

"Because he hates women." Yi Fei said, "He dressed himself up as a woman, not because he likes women, but because he is jealous of their looks."

Xu Chun "tsk", "I hate contact with these mentally problematic people the most. Every time I have to doubt my life."

Yi Fei looked around the entire bedroom and sighed: "Who isn't it?"

The other bedroom was opened, and the first team member to rush in cursed, "Hey, I'm going!"

Yi Fei hurried over immediately.

Completely different from the other two rooms, this locked bedroom has nothing to do with dreams and romance, and even the installed lamp is only a pale energy-saving lamp.

Outside the blue curtain, there is a window sealed with an iron fence. The iron fence is rusty and smells very strong.

Now in cities, it is hard to see this kind of iron fence. It is easily reminiscent of a lifeless prison.

There are many mildew spots on the walls of the room, but what is even more shocking is that the mildew spots are all black marks next to them.

Ordinary people may not see what it is, but the detective knows at a glance that it is blood that has been deposited for a long time.

A bed without bedding was placed by the wall, and there were blood stains on the bed, as if someone had been trapped on this bed, struggling desperately.

Yi Fei slowly opened the door of the wooden cabinet and took out a box wrapped in red cloth.

The box is made of hardwood and is heavy.

"The urn." Yi Fei said.

"There is no nameplate on it." Xu Chun took the urn over, "Is it another victim?"

Yi Fei shook his head, "Probably not. The murderer throws the body twice, and should not leave the victim's ashes at home."

Zhou Yuan shouted in the living room: "Team Yi, come and have a look."

Niu Tianlan’s computer contains a large number of female photos. From a perspective, they are all secret photos without exception. If you look at the appearance, the people in the photos are all beautiful women. Their common feature is that they have more or less lips. Into an M shape.

"This is Tang Qian, in Shunyi Street. This is Meng Shan, near Textile Road." Zhou Yuan said nervously, "This is Wen Xi, who is missing. She is probably killed near the studio. And so. Many people, are they all already..."

Sorting all the photos into categories revealed that as many as 67 women were secretly photographed by Niu Tianlan.

If they are all killed, this must be a case that shocks the whole country.

Yi Fei shook his head, "Impossible. The backgrounds of these photos are almost all on Shunyi Street, and a small number are in Beicheng District. If so many women suddenly disappear in an area, we don’t know why now. Niu Tianlan is among these people. After screening, Meng Shan and others were finally selected."

Zhou Yuan felt very sad, with his hands clenched into fists, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

"Make a sorting by shooting time." Yi Fei said: "Find the person he took the most recently."

Zhou Yuan said: "We can no longer save the victims, but we can also protect those who have just become his targets but have not yet been poisoned!"

·

An airtight net has been slowly lowered in and around Shunyi Street.

Under the curtain of night, people took off their disguise during the day and revealed their original appearance in the dim lights and different styles of music.

Niu Tianlan has not yet appeared, and in every street where he may appear, at least one plainclothes criminal policeman is guarded.

It is rare for Ming Shu to wear clothes and shoes that are inconsistent with the police status at work. His hair is also sculpted with sculpting water. Most of his forehead is combed back, but it is not a traditional back. The collar is open with two buttons and looks lazy. And sexy.

He sat on a high chair in a bar, like a dandy who came to search for prey for entertainment, and his sharp eyes were looking at the people around him when he looked at the suspect.

In the headset, the team members are reporting to him the situation of various lanes.

On the phone, Yi Fei sent more than ten photos.

"This person is probably Niu Tianlan's next target." Yi Fei said: "I have confirmed my identity with colleagues in the information team. Wen Ling, the night shift editor of Dongye Newspaper Group, lives in Xia, west of Shunyi Street. Chenglu. Niu Tianlan has been following her recently."

Ming Shu said, "Okay, leave it to me. Did you find any evidence in Niu Tianlan's home?"

“A lot of sneak photos are counted as one. In addition, there is a locked room in his house. There are blood stains on the walls and bed. The blood stains are currently being tested.” Yi Fei said, “I also found an urn and found fingerprints on it. "

After hanging up the phone, Ming Shu immediately made adjustments to the team members and sent additional manpower near the Dongye Newspaper Group, and he rushed over.

In the early morning, Niu Tianlan appeared on Shunyi Street, but he was no longer dressed as a woman.

When wearing a skirt, many people will turn their heads when they see him, but when wearing men's clothing, he is just one of the thousands of green leaves on this street, especially when he is wearing a mask, no one will notice him at all.

"I see Niu Tianlan." Fang Yuanhang followed ten meters away, staring at each other intently, and said in a low voice: "Jackets, sneakers, and black backpack on his back. It looks like he intends to commit crimes tonight. I guess he has a hammer in his bag."

Mingshu has moved to the street downstairs of the Dongye Newspaper Group, "watch people closely and don't lose track of them."

"rest assured."

Niu Tianlan has been wandering around Shunyi Street, but did not enter any bars.

Fang Yuanhang noticed that he was very familiar with the public surveillance here. Every time he walked to a place that might be photographed, he would turn a corner and avoid the camera.

At 1:20 in the morning, Niu Tianlan left Shunyi Street and walked towards the Dongye Newspaper Group from an unmonitored road.

Fang Yuanhang said, "Master, he has passed."

Ming Shu looked up at the lighted windows of the newspaper group.

At this time, several of them went out.

It seems that Niu Tianlan has figured out the off-duty time of the night shift editor.

"Team Ming, he has not come out in Second Alley." A member asked: "Is it arrested now or wait?"

Ming Shu glanced at the time, "Wait."

From 1:30 to 2:30, the newspaper group continued to have night shift editors leaving, but Niu Tianlan's goal-Wen Ling-never appeared.

Niu Tianlan obviously didn't know that every movement he was doing was under the watchful eyes of the police. He suddenly squatted on the ground and took out the contents of his backpack.

It's a hammer.

It was exactly the same hammer used by cremators in the "West Moon" funeral home.

Soon, he put the hammer in again.

At 3 o'clock, the light in an office went out.

A few minutes later, four men and a woman appeared at the entrance of the newspaper group.

The only woman is Wen Ling.

Niu Tianlan pulled up the hood of the jacket, hurriedly left the second alley where he was hiding, and walked towards Wen Ling's residence.

Fang Yuanhang immediately followed, throwing into the darkness like a bunch of shadows.

Wen Ling and a young man wearing glasses talked for a while on the side of the road. It seemed that the other party wanted to send her home, but she shook her head after hesitating.

Shunyi Street is a city that never sleeps in the eyes of many people, but in fact, once 2 o'clock in the morning, most of the pleasure-seeking guests leave. The street is no longer as lively as around 12 o'clock, and the main road occasionally drives past. A large truck that can only enter the city at night, the sound of wheels running over the road tells of the hardships of life.

Wen Ling didn't show any displeased look when she was thrown by the big truck, as if she had been used to it a long time ago, or it might be because she is also a night worker and it is not easy to understand each other.

She looked left and right, and walked across the road. The pace was getting faster and faster, and she seemed a little nervous.

To cross this road, you have to enter an alley.

Although it is winter, the trees planted in Ye City are always green all the year round, and street lights shine from behind the trees, reflecting the shadow of teeth and claws in the alleys.

Wen Ling walked a few steps in the alley, took a deep breath, then lowered her head and almost ran.

The farther you go, the thicker the shadows of the trees become. One of the street lights is broken, and the darkness spreads like clouds.

Suddenly, Wen Ling paused, and after a second, she took a step back.

In her sight, a pair of man's feet appeared.

Niu Tianlan stood in front of her, holding the hammer in one hand, and taking off the hood with the other, revealing a delicate but evil face.

Wen Ling covered her mouth, the blood on her face has faded.

Niu Tianlan approached Wen Ling step by step. In the darkness behind him, the policemen who had been waiting for a long time rushed out like an arrow from a string.

"哐—"

The hammer fell to the ground with a muffled noise.

Wen Ling was dumbfounded, and finally softened her legs and fell to the ground.

Tears gushed from her eyes, she pressed her chest firmly without letting herself scream.

Ming Shu stepped forward, held her arm, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, police."

Niu Tianlan was crushed on the ground by Fang Yuanhang and another criminal policeman. For a moment, he suddenly began to struggle and howled: "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

"Be honest!" Fang Yuanhang pulled the person up, "Niu Tianlan, how many people do you want to kill?"

Niu Tianlan opened his eyes in surprise, and his body immediately stiffened.

Ming Shu looked at Niu Tianlan coldly, "Take it away!"

·

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

Niu Tianlan shrank in the interrogation chair, his shoulders raised high, his head lowered, and his thin lips pressed tightly.

Ming Shu put the photos of Wen Xi, Tang Qian, and Meng Shan on the table in turn, "raise your head."

Niu Tianlan did not raise his head, but only looked at Ming Shu from between his forehead and hair.

"Do you know them?" Ming Shu said, "Do you remember their faces?"

Niu Tianlan bit his lip and shook his head slowly like a machine in disrepair, "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Ming Shu said, "Do you know where I found these photos?"

Niu Tianlan continued to bite his lip, and a smell of blood suddenly radiated from the almost solidified air.

He actually bit his lip.

Ming Shu stared at those sinful eyes and paused every word, "On your computer at home, on the computer where you use the name ‘Lanlan’ to broadcast live!"

Niu Tianlan let go of his lips, and a few seconds later said: "I just, I just patted them."

Fang Yuanhang shouted: "Then kill them!"

"I didn't." Niu Tianlan shook his head stubbornly, "Why would I kill them?"

"On October 26 this year, where were you?" Ming Shu said, "Don't tell me you are at work. I have obtained the work record of the funeral home. You took a shift that day."

Niu Tianlan said: "I am sleeping at home."

"Then how to explain this video?" Ming Shu clicked on the tablet.

Niu Tianlan was walking out of the side gate in the lobby of the only tourist passenger terminal in Fengsheng Town.

Niu Tianlan didn't react much, "Oh."

"At noon on the 26th, you took the passenger bus to Fengsheng Town. In the evening, you killed Tang Qian on the wasteland behind Zhou Changyou's house." Ming Shu said, "Her body was buried by you."

Niu Tianlan lowered his head again, and did not speak for 5 minutes.

Just when Fang Yuanhang thought he was going to ask "Do you have any evidence?", he stretched out his tongue and licked the blood from his lower lip. Suddenly the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile, "Yes, I killed them." "

After saying this, Niu Tianlan's head was raised high, with a disdainful and contemptuous expression in his eyes.

That seems to say: I have killed more than one person, and you have only caught me now. I am at most worth a life, and I killed more than one person, and I earned it.

Fang Yuanhang took a sharp breath in anger.

"Why are you killing them?" Ming Shu asked, "They have no grudges against you."

Niu Tianlan Lu said, "If you want to kill, you kill. Why are there so many?"

Fang Yuanhang said: "You!"

Ming Shu raised his hand to block Fang Yuanhang, "Apart from the three of them, who else did you kill?"

"You can't find it?" Niu Tianlan said: "Then treat them as if I only killed them."

"Tell me..."

"Tell me so you don't have to die?" Niu Tianlan shook his head indifferently, "No need to coax me, I don't know the law at all. As long as I am caught, I will die in the end. I confess. No amount of it will help. You can check it yourself.

"Do you really think I don't know why you murdered?" Ming Shu said, "Just make sure to you. Niu Tianlan, are you very dissatisfied with your own lips?"

Niu Tianlan tensed immediately, and his scattered eyes regained focus.

"You killed the Meng Shan trio because they had the lips you dreamed of. You smashed their skulls with a cremation tool and cut off their lips." Ming Shu said, "Then eat them. You think so, You can make your lips look as beautiful as them."

Niu Tianlan's mouth was half open, and it took a long time to utter a few vague syllables.

"I was right? Then I continue." Ming Shu said: "Although you are good at dressing yourself up as women, you look down on women in your heart, thinking that they are born inferior to men and exist like livestock. So you are killing Meng Shan and After Tang Qian, you put dog and duck feathers in their mouths. What you want to express is that they, like dogs and ducks, only serve as Chinese food on your plate."

Niu Tianlan's thin lips began to tremble, "You, you..."

Ming Shu looked down and stared at Niu Tianlan's lips, "Am I right? Your lips are the source of your low self-esteem."

"I don't feel inferior!" Niu Tianlan tapped **** the table, "I never feel inferior! She has already lost to me, why should I feel inferior!"

Ming Shu asked: "Who is TA?"

Under the bright light, it was obvious that Niu Tianlan's pupils suddenly tightened.

"TA is a woman?" Ming Shu said, "The series of crimes you commit now are all because of her?"

Niu Tianlan lowered his head at an extremely slow speed, and finally fell on the interrogation table, reluctant to speak.

Ming Shu saw that his shoulder was twitching slightly.

Fang Yuanhang said, "Master?"

Ming Shu got up and walked to the door, "Staring at it, continue the trial. Evidence is more important than confession, but it is better to have a confession than no confession."

"Yes."

·

The crime squad moved quickly, the interrogation is still in progress, and Niu Tianlan's family background has been basically ascertained.

Niu Tianlan, 26 years old, is from Dongye City. The house he currently lives in is the legacy of his parents.

Niu's family is from an ordinary family. Niu Tianlan's father Niu Jiang and mother Zhao Lin are both hygienists in a nearby hospital. Niu Tianlan has a twin sister named Niu Lanlan. Judging from his childhood photos, both of them are cute-looking children.

For the average family, raising two children is a huge burden. Niu Tianlan's peers are basically only children. He has an older sister because Zhao Lin was pregnant with a baby, and there is no way.

When Niu Tianlan and Niu Lanlan were 17, Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin participated in the team building activities organized by the unit. On their way back, there was a car accident. The bus overturned from the cliff. 19 people were killed on the spot, including Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin. .

The following year, the two brothers and sisters took the college entrance examination, doubled the gold list titles, and were admitted to the two universities in the next door to the province.

It was Niu Jiang and Zhao Lin's car accident compensation money for them to spend the four years of university.

Neither Niu Tianlan nor Niu Lanlan worked immediately after graduation, but soon afterwards, Niu Tianlan entered the "Xiyue" funeral home, and Niu Lanlan had never worked.

Two years ago, when the siblings were 24 years old, Niu Lanlan's body was found in Anmin County, Han Province. She died in a cheap guest house, and a 26-year-old man named "Zhao Wen" died with her.

After investigation by the local police, they committed suicide by cutting their wrists. The suicide note on the bed showed that they were a couple and felt that death was the end of life, so they committed suicide in this beautiful town.

There is nothing suspicious about the case. The chat records and consumption records of the two proved that this was a suicide.

Zhao Wen was the only son in the family, a native of Luocheng, Han Province, whose body was taken away by his parents for cremation. The one who went to the town to pick up Niu Lanlan was Niu Tianlan.

Niu Lanlan's body was cremated in the "West Moon" funeral home, and the cremator was Niu Tianlan.

After Niu Lanlan died, Niu Tianlan became a lonely family member.

At present, Niu Tianlan's communication records and Internet records have been laid out in front of the criminals of the serious crime team. This evil murderer spent two years living himself into Niu Lanlan. He dressed himself in the style of Niu Lanlan, created an anchor account on the "Crazy Cat" live broadcast platform under the name of Niu Lanlan, enjoying fans calling him "Lanlan" and telling people in the bar that his name is "Lanlan" ...

But he did this not because he missed Niu Lanlan, but because he hated it.

On Niu Tianlan’s pink notebook, the first half wrote what he should say to fans during the live broadcast, his makeup tips, and cute patterns. Every page shows a positive attitude towards life. But in the second half, there are countless "Go to Die" written.

He wrote so hard that the tip of his pen punctured many pages.

His sister’s name was painted with crosses one after another. The three characters "Niu Lanlan" were written extremely ugly, soaked in the hatred of the writer, and the two characters "Zhao Wen" were neat and tidy. From the treatment of the strokes Can see the mood of the writer at the time.

Niu Lanlan is Niu Tianlan's twin sister, and Niu Tianlan hates her for this.

Zhao Wen is just a "prospective brother-in-law" to Niu Tianlan, but he is so cherished by Niu Tianlan.

"A dog blood triangle." Ming Shu said: "Zhao Wen and Niu Tianlan both studied at Xicheng University of Science and Technology in Han Province, the same college and the same major, Zhao Wen is one level higher than Niu Tianlan, and both are members of the college student union. . And Niu Lanlan studied at Xicheng University for Nationalities. She knew Zhao Wen through Niu Tianlan."

Fang Yuanhang stared at the photos of Zhao Wen before his death, "Zhao Wen is a talented person. He is Niu Tianlan's senior and Niu Tianlan's superior in the student union. Niu Tianlan is a homosexual. It is not surprising that Zhao Wen is attracted to Zhao Wen. But Zhao Wen is a straight man. , Of course it’s impossible to accept Niu Tianlan, but I fell in love with Niu Lanlan, who looks similar to Niu Tianlan at first sight? I rely on, is that bloody?"

Ming Shu folded his arms and leaned on the edge of the table. "Niu Tianlan has admitted that the ashes in his house contain Niu Lanlan's ashes. He hates Niu Lanlan, but keeps Niu Lanlan's ashes at home. What is the reason for this?"

Yi Fei said: "The room is weird. The iron fence blocks the windows. The walls are full of blood. The test result has come out. It is Niu Tianlan's own blood."

Ming Shu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Niu Tianlan may be performing some kind of ritual at home. Also, two years ago, Niu Lanlan and Zhao Wen committed suicide, maybe it is not that simple."
