Madness of the Heart

The air conditioner in the office made a slight noise.

Xiao Yuan said: "Before this, Xu Yin had never mentioned that she had seen a mysterious woman. She pointed out that the deceased in Yisi Alley was Chi Xiaomin also after this. Her story is very clear, this is how you feel. It should be the deepest."

Ming Shu nodded.

"And she actually said that she can't remember it now." Xiao Yuan said: "One possibility is that someone did something to her after she left our sight and took away the memories that belonged to her. Another possibility is that someone did something to her. After she came to the city bureau, she instilled something in her and gave her a memory that shouldn't belong to her. Now, after a period of time, Xu Yin herself can't figure out where this memory came from."

Ming Shu thought of a name-Lin Jiao.

"Xu Yin was the key person who discovered Wu Zhen's body. When we investigated her background, we found that she had a very serious psychological problem, so we temporarily sent her to the Psychological Research Center. After that, Lin Jiao kept her psychological counseling... …Wait, I’ll think about it again.” Ming Shu turned around, lowered his head slightly, with the curled right index finger on his lower lip, “Lin Jiao came to the Criminal Investigation Bureau that day and said that Xu Yin ran once. He was found again, and said that Xu Yin told him that before Wu Zhen's body was found, he had seen another body."

Xiao Yuan said: "So you went to the Psychological Research Center."

Ming Shu said: "At that time, Xu Yin was in a room. The first time I mentioned it to me, there was a mysterious woman—her word is'sister'—standing in front of her window in the middle of the night and said that this woman was dead In Yisi Alley, the state of death was very miserable. She also told me a guess that I had never understood-this woman wanted to'replace' her."

Xiao Yuan said: "The reason why you believe her is that based on her character and experience, she has no need to lie and deceive you subjectively. Second, her story is very clear, with details, and there is no inconsistency. No. Three, you immediately send Xiao Man and Xu Chun to Yisi Alley, where you found old blood stains."

The wrinkles between Ming Shu's eyebrows deepened, and his voice sank a little, "I may have made a mistake at that time. A woman was killed in Yisi Alley, only Xu Yin saw it, and the body disappeared out of thin air the next day. ——Xu Yin said. So what is the logical basis for the murderer to do this? Why didn't he immediately dispose of the corpse after the murder, but threw the corpse in the Fourth Alley of Medicine? Throwing the corpse didn’t make sense, because the corpse was eventually taken away. The most likely thing is that the murderer wants Xu Yin to see the corpse."

"If all of this is really what Xu Yin saw with her own eyes, it is a memory that really exists in her mind. Under the premise that no one has interfered with her recently, she shouldn't be the way she is now." Xiao Yuan looked at Ming Shu's eyes. "Now you have inferred something too, right?"

Ming Shu took a deep breath and slowly said, "This is not Xu Yin's memory at all. She did not see the mysterious woman outside the window, nor the corpse in Yisi Alley, and finally it was impossible to point to Chi Xiaomin in the system. The photo says—this is my sister. It was Lin Jiao who took the opportunity to educate her and instilled these fragments into her in the form of memory. Now, Xu Yin has left the city office for some reason, such as the limitations of short-term memory. This compulsory memory became blurred. Once someone showed her Chi Xiaomin's picture, she got a headache...connected, Xu Yin's series of reactions before and after, seemed to be connected. But... "

Xiao Yuan said, "But why did Lin Jiao do this? What is the relationship between Lin Jiao and Chi Xiaomin?"

Ming Shu's tone hurried, "Xu Yin's appearance was actually an accident. If she hadn't played a game of finding a corpse with her companions, we would not have any intersection with her, let alone bring her back. It was me and Yi. Fei decided to send her to the Psychological Research Center. I am pretty sure that we were not disturbed by outsiders when we made this decision."

"Then it was an accident that Lin Jiao knew Xu Yin." Xiao Yuan said: "Lin Jiao has assisted the police in solving many problems in the Psychological Research Center over the years, and has never made a mistake-at least we haven't found it. If Xu Yin didn't have that. For special psychological problems, Lin Jiao may have let Xu Yin go as he treated his past stakeholders."

"I like the smell of corpses, I like to play the game of finding corpses, and I found Wu Zhen." Ming Shu said while pacing: "Human thinking is easily affected by preconceived effects. Xu Yin found Wu Zhen, this is a fact, then she It's not incomprehensible to find Chi Xiaomin. So Lin Jiao will use his plan to take advantage of this?"

Xiao Yuan nodded lightly, "For a psychologist like Lin Jiao, it is too easy to affect a little girl's memory. Xu Yin is early, but after all, she is a child. She can't resist Lin Jiao."

After a few seconds, Xiao Yuan said again: "What I said just now is the least contradictory guess I can sort out. As for Lin Jiao's motives, Xu Yin insisted that Chi Xiaomin was dead at the time. From Lin Jiao's angle, Chi Xiaomin is dead, so it will be a lot less trouble for him."

"When the police are investigating a case, they usually don't suspect a person who has died." Ming Shu's pupils shrank suddenly. "He is excluding a certain suspicion for Chi Xiaomin? This is not just proof that Chi Xiaomin and'Ghost'. What about the death?"

"Chi Xiaomin went to Wen Ling more than a year ago, hoping that Wen Ling would speak up on the newspaper platform, and be disappointed eventually." Xiao Yuan said: "When desperately desperate, she participated in a revenge. Lin Jiao believes that, If the police notice that the deaths of Qiao Xuehua and others were not pure suicides and begin detailed investigations, Chi Xiaomin may be found, so they create an illusion that she is dead in advance."

Ming Shu pressed his forehead, "But I still haven't figured out what is the relationship between Lin Jiao and Chi Xiaomin? Why does he do this?"

"Don't be scared for the time being, check Lin Jiao's background first. I only know that Lin Jiao is not from Dongye City. He studied at the University of Los Angeles and worked in other psychological institutions before becoming a consultant of the Psychological Research Center." Xiao Yuan said As the topic changed, "There is one more thing that I care about. Huang Yan, the first one we found, is sure to be killed by him, and there is an inexplicable small hole on her chest. In her house, there is a complete set of'ghost cards' that killed her. Of the people have never touched this'ghost card'. And the other two deceased died of suicide, no matter whether they were stimulated or induced by some kind of stimulus or inducement before death, at least from the appearance, they all committed suicide, and they were in their home. The'Ghost Card' is incomplete and it is suspected to have been taken away, but the person who took the'Ghost Card' did not take all the'Ghost Cards'."

Ming Shu bowed his head in deep thought, and said for a while: "The basis for the combined investigation is that they both purchased the'ghost card' of Silin Town and appeared in the same list, but Huang Yan's death showed different clues. Brother, For Qiao Xuehua and Li Sijia’s suicide, I thought about a possibility."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Well, you said."

"Li Sijia’s wife Xu Nan said that he was suspicious for a long time, and always thought that someone wanted to harm him. Xu Nan had become accustomed to his husband’s words and deeds, so he didn’t think Xu Nan had suspicious behavior before committing suicide. But Xu Nan also said later that he felt that Before Li Sijia disappeared, she was a little strange, and she was always surprised." Ming Shu said: "Qiao Xuehua lived alone for a long time, but no one observes the changes in her daily life, but I speculate that she may be the same as Li Sijia. Some kind of shock."

"Those who buy'ghost cards' are always'believe it'." Ming Shu continued: "Qiao Xuehua and Li Sijia are businessmen. They need'ghost cards'. The high probability is that'ghost cards' can be used. Improve their fortune. In this case, they must also believe that the'ghost card' may backfire the worshippers. In the final analysis, this is a sorcery. Behind luck is **** murder. People who respect ghosts and gods are often the most afraid of ghosts and gods. The most convenient way for the Avengers to deal with them is to intimidate them with karma."

Xiao Yuan said: "It makes them feel that they have seen a ghost and are being targeted by the evil spirit in the'ghost card'."

"Yes." Ming Shu said: "Qiao Xuehua and Li Sijia are in the light, and the Avengers-let's say Chi Xiaomin-are in the dark. If they pretend to be a ghost, they will panic a few more times. What is the "ghost card" It’s impossible for them not to know that it’s not difficult to create the illusion of a girl’s death to affect their psychology and spirit. They cannot call the police or even tell the people around them, otherwise the “ghost card” will be exposed. . Intimidation eventually caused them to experience certain disorders and choose to commit suicide."

"Chi Xiaomin may not be able to do it alone, but Lin Jiao is a psychologist." Xiao Yuan said: "In the last case, Luo Yi used psychological intervention to get the doctor who performed the illegal heart transplant operation upstairs. Jump off."

Ming Shu said: "In this way, Lin Jiao will not only help Chi Xiaomin, but join hands with Chi Xiaomin."

The office was quiet for a moment, and Ming Shu said again: "But what about Huang Yan? The two suicides, one murder, and one disappearance are divided by time. Qiao Xuehua and Li Sijia committed suicide, and the disappearance of Lu Chao was because Xu Yin said it was too late. Before Xiao Min died, Huang Yan was after, and the specific situation is different..."

Xiao Yuan took two steps forward and stood in front of Ming Shu.

Ming Shu raised his head, with an extremely solemn expression in his eyes, "Brother?"

Xiao Yuan raised his hands and touched Mingshu's temples with his fingertips.

Mingshu squinted subconsciously.

Xiao Yuan’s fingers have calluses, and the skin at the temples is particularly thin. The calluses are pressed there. When the force is light, it itches numbly. When the force is strong, it is like a needle that is not sharp enough to pierce gently, not painful, and very comfortable. .

Xiao Yuan approached a little closer, and circled Mingshu in the range of his breath. Mingshu was rubbed very comfortably, and his throat overflowed with a soft snort.

This intimacy came just right, very timely.

Just now, so many clues suddenly flooded into his brain, Ming Shu thought and sorted eagerly, his brain was like an overloaded machine, and it was down for a while.

Xiao Yuan can always notice all his discomforts and give the most appropriate care.

Less is not enough, more will inevitably delay business.

Ming Shu raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Yuan closely.

Even though they have been together for many years and have seen each other's most male gods and most undisciplined appearances, the feeling of shock will not disappear because of this.

The heart in his chest still leaped for Xiao Yuan easily.

"I'm fine." Ming Shu held Xiao Yuan's right wrist and moved to his lips to kiss.

When doing this, he kept looking at Xiao Yuan's eyes.

He likes to kiss Xiao Yuan's hand, with calluses on his fingertips, but not too rough, his fingers are slender, and the muscles and bones on the back of the hand are distinct.

very beautiful.

It seems strange to use "beautiful" to describe the hands of a man in his thirties, but in Ming Shu's eyes, Xiao Yuan's hands are beautiful.

Who said that only fair and delicate is beautiful?

He is willing to give the word "beautiful" to his favorite.

Xiao Yuan smiled and took his hand back.

·

Mingshu's inference was confirmed in the Beicheng branch.

Li Chicheng found Tu Aijing, who used to work as a nanny at Qiao Xuehua's house. She was 44 years old and was responsible for cooking and cleaning the room for Qiao Xuehua. Because Qiao Xuehua has a "cleanliness addiction" to private space, Tu Aijing almost never stays at Qiao Xuehua's house.

Even so, she is still the closest person to Qiao Xuehua's private life.

After Qiao Xuehua suddenly returned to her hometown, Tu Aijing found a new job.

"We asked her to learn about Qiao Xuehua's situation before returning to her hometown. She gave a detail." Li Chi clicked on the video, "Qiao Xuehua was suspicious, saying that the spirit of the'child' has grown up, come to her to kill her."

In the video, Tu Aijing was full of horror, "I don’t know what she did, but when she said that, I’m also scared, what kind of soul of a “child”, what kind of “death”, she is a rich person and can give up money. It’s disaster-free, but I can’t. I, I’ve seen her talking about her for a long time. She was a strong woman in the company, and she changed when she went home, burning incense and worshiping Buddha. I didn’t know what she was chanting. I didn’t dare to live with her later. Together, even if she doesn’t dismiss me, I don’t plan to do it anymore."

The police officer asked: "What is the soul of the'child'? Qiao Xuehua saw it with his own eyes? Where did he see it?"

Tu Aijing shook her head, "Where do I know this, and I didn't see it."

"Didn't you hear from her?"

"She just asked me to complain, and told me intermittently." Tu Aijing can see that she has a psychological shadow. "She doesn't like being disturbed. I left when I was done before. Later, she asked me to stay with her overnight and give it back. I prepared a room. I often heard her calling at night, saying "Don't come over". I was scared and didn't know what happened to her. I asked her during the day but she didn't say anything. Then I couldn't stand it anymore, so I mentioned it to her Resign. She begged me to stay and give me a salary increase. Later, her condition became more and more serious, and I became even more afraid. I planned to stop doing anything at the end of the month. As a result, I had not waited until the end of the month. She went back to her hometown."

"This is the only one among the remaining 13 people who has had the experience of **** it. Her experience is very similar to that of Qiao Xuehua described by Tu Aijing." Li Chicheng opened another video, and the one who appeared on the video was a well-dressed grace. Middle-aged women.

Yang Lilan, 40, a full-time housewife, her husband runs a foreign trade company and spends very little time in Dongye City. Yang Lilan is not short of money, but she does not seem to be happy.

Facing the interpol's question, after a brief hesitation, she took out the "ghost card" she bought in Silin Town 3 years ago, which was 24 yuan like Huang Yan's.

"I bought them, and I spent 1.7 million yuan." Yang Lilan looked sad, "I just learned that my husband was cheating, and I heard that raising a'ghost card' could restore the lost feelings, so I bought a set. But in fact, there is no one at all. Yes. I hid them at home in different directions according to what the "Master Craftsman" said. My husband still didn't come back to take a look at me."

Yang Lilan laughed at herself and lit her cigarette, "I have spent such a large sum of money, and my life hasn't changed for the better. Two years ago, I worshipped the "ghost card" seriously according to the rules. This year, I figured it out, rather than hope. When the husband turned around, it would be better to spend his money to live a comfortable life, so he almost didn't support the "ghost card" anymore, so she came to trouble me."

The detective asked: "Which TA?"

"It's a dead girl." Yang Lilan said: "I saw her, white clothes, long hair, she has grown up, come to me for revenge."

"Where did you see her?"

"In my yard, she is standing there."

Yang Lilan lives in a single-family villa with a semi-open backyard.

"When did it happen?" The detective asked, "How do you know that it was a dead girl? You only bought the'ghost card' 3 years ago. Even if there is a ghost, it is only 3 years old."

"She called my mother and asked my dad why he didn't go home, and asked if she didn't help, so my dad didn't go home, so I didn't continue to raise her. Who else could she be?" Yang Lilan began to tremble , Like seeing the horrible scene again, "She has grown up, not 3 years old, very thin, I can't see her face clearly, I can only hear her calling me and asking why I took away the blood from her heart. I don’t continue to raise her now..."

"You calm down first." The detective had to stop the questioning, patiently calm down.

After more than ten minutes, Yang Lilan's emotions were under control, and she continued: "I saw her four times in total, and the last time was in July this year. I was almost crazy at the time. Since her first appearance, I have re-enjoyed. She, but she won't go, she wants to kill me!"

The detective asked: "July? Did you do anything at that time?"

Yang Lilan shook her head, "I don't know, I...I can't stand it anymore. Instead of being killed by her, I might as well commit suicide!"

suicide.

The most critical point.

Both Qiao Xuehua and Li Sijia committed suicide, and it is possible that the missing Lu Chao committed suicide in a hidden place.

They may have seen the so-called ghost like Yang Lilan, and were harassed by this ghost for a long time.

"If the people Yang Lilan sees continue to appear, we may now face three suicides." Ming Shu stared at the video, "The turning point is that in July this year, that person did not go to Yang Lilan again."

Li Chi nodded, and the video continued to play.

"Perhaps it was because she was satisfied with my offering. I burned paper for her later. I wanted to ask a Taoist priest to supervise her, but I don't know her birth date." Yang Lilan sighed, "Actually I know this is a crime. Accept any punishment."

The detective asked: "How did you learn about the'ghost card'?"

"This APP is a folklore exchange forum." Yang Lilan pressed her mobile phone a few times and then handed it to the criminal police. "I am a member of this forum."

The forum is called "Their Voice", with a dark style and seemingly small crowd, but the real-time traffic is not low.

There is always a group of people who have a passion for supernatural phenomena and supernatural events beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Yang Lilan showed a post she saw before buying the "ghost card".

The post was published anonymously, describing the production principle and use of Qiu Xucun’s "ghost card". There are many replies below, mostly expressing interest. Some people even asked how much money can have a "ghost card".

Yang Lilan also replied to this post.

"Why can't I see it?" Mingshu's finger slides on the screen, "Hidden?"

"Our level is not enough." Li Chicheng said: "This post is in the'black market trading' area of ​​the forum, and only senior members, that is, the supernatural enthusiasts who have been on the forum for a long time, can see it."

According to Yang Lilan, she replied with an attitude of sincere consultation-if the "ghost card" can help her save her husband, she would give it a try no matter how much it costs. So she replied very sincerely, telling her situation and needs in detail.

More than ten days later, the anonymous account asked her for her contact information in the form of an internal letter.

About a month later, she received a phone call with a hidden number.

The other party told him that "Ghost" could hear her wish and assist her in fulfilling her wish. If she sincerely needs it, she will go to the northern town of Silin within 3 months to find a "master craftsman".

She asked who the "master craftsman" was, and the other party said that she didn't need to worry about this problem. After she went to Silin Town, she reported her name at the village entrance, and someone naturally received it.

As for the price, the other party said that the "ghost cards" are divided into different levels according to the purpose and the spirituality of the baby girl. The cheap one can be bought for 30,000 yuan, and the more expensive one can sell for ten million.

"I was fascinated by the impulse, and immediately decided to buy a set of high-quality'ghost cards'. After negotiating the price and the time to receive the'ghost cards', I withdrew a sum of cash." Yang Lilan said: "Theirs The requirement is for cash transactions, with one hand for payment and one hand for delivery."

At the end of June 3 years ago, Yang Lilan went to Sulin Town alone and saw an old man in her seventies who claimed to be a "master craftsman" and took her into a dilapidated wooden house with several wooden boxes inside. There is a baby girl crying or sleeping.

"Master Craftsman" pointed to one of the baby girls and said, "It's her."

The baby girl was wrapped in a thick quilt, only half of her face was exposed, she was still alive.

She breathed evenly, her mouth pouted slightly.

For a moment, Yang Lilan wanted to pick up the baby girl and take it home to raise her.

She has no children, and friends around her say that only when a woman has a child can she tie her husband.

But this thought quickly disappeared. She clearly knew that this child was not in the blood of her and her husband, so what's the point of bringing it back?

She didn't see the process of "Master Craftsman" making "Ghost Cards" in person.

She lived in Silin Town for three days, and after three days she got her own "ghost card" from the "master craftsman".

"Supply it, it will let you get what you want." "Master Craftsman" said so.
