Madness of the Heart

Since the shadow of the lake became popular, Ninety-nine percent of the people that Man Lin receives every day have rushed to the shadow of the lake.

He did not expect that one day even the police would come to his door.

It is a taboo for popular artists to be involved in criminal cases. Man Lin said nervously: "We Huying have always been high-quality artists. Is there anything wrong with you?"

Once the investigation involves public figures, there will be many obstacles. Before the matter is clear, Ming Shu does not want the outside world to know that Huying is related to the crime team's case, so this time he came to Fang Chi Entertainment, he and Fang Yuanhang None of them wear police uniforms.

"No mistake, but you don't need to be nervous. I came to Huying because he may be an important witness." Ming Shu asked, "Where is Huying now?"

Man Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the "witness".

He has worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years, and he knows the darkness in the circle. Some entertainers are pure and clean in front of the camera. They have almost done all the illegal activities behind the scenes. It is good not to be reported. Once the police come to the door, the acting career is over. . Huying is now becoming popular, and there are countless people who are jealous of Huying and expecting that Huying will "roll over". If anyone has a bad mind and deliberately wants to rectify Huying, that matter will be troublesome.

"He's not in the company." Man Lin didn't dare to offend the police. "Sit down for a while. I don't know where he is. I'll make a call."

An assistant put the hot coffee on the table, said "please use it slowly" and left.

There were no outsiders in the room, so Ming Shu walked around the sofa, observing the surrounding furnishings hastily.

There was a sentence from Fang Cai Manlin that made him very concerned-"I don't know where he is."

Man Lin is Huying’s agent. It stands to reason that Huying is now the hottest time. Every minute and every second of time should be used and tied to the company’s interests. Man Lin actually didn’t know that Huying was in where.

This is not normal.

Ming Shu never calls traffic stars, and he hardly reads entertainment news. Whoever gets popular and which drama is popular is forced to learn from others’ discussions about what shows Huying is currently on and whether there are new dramas. He did not understand.

But the apprentice understands.

"Does Huying have any news?" Ming Shu said.

"It doesn't seem to be." Fang Yuanhang sipped his coffee. "He seems to be taking a low-key route, not like the hype of most traffic all day long."

The doubts in Mingshu's heart are deeper.

"master."

"Ok?"

"This coffee is different from the one you bought." Fang Yuanhang said, "Try it."

"What's the difference?" Ming Shu said, taking a sip.

"Did you drink it? The taste is mellow, it is natural and mellow." Fang Yuanhang said full of emotion: "The internet celebrity coffee you bought has an artificial flavor."

"Don't drink if you dislike it." Ming Shu walked around behind the sofa and looked outside through the one-way glass.

This is an office on the 23rd floor of Fangchi Entertainment. Outside is the hall where employees work. It was working time at this time, and many people came and went in a hurry, looking very alive.

Ming Shu didn't see Man Lin, guessing that the agent probably went to another room to call.

Fang Yuanhang has finished his coffee.

Ming Shu asked, "It tastes better than the one I bought?"

Fang Yuanhang blurted out, "If you don't believe it, you can let Xiao Ju evaluate it. You should believe what Xiao Ju said?"

Ming Shu: "..."

Fang Yuanhang quickly turned around, "Oh, master, why are you saying that Huying is not in the company?"

At this time, Man Lin came back after the call, "I'm sorry, the two have been waiting for a long time. That's it. Huying's sister is hospitalized again, and he is now in the hospital."

Renxin Hospital in the southern suburbs of Dongye City.

This is a private hospital integrating medical treatment and recuperation. It has first-class services, a quiet environment and perfect security. Of course, the charges are ridiculously high. The patients living in it are either rich or expensive.

A woman under thirty was sitting on a hospital bed, wearing a soft hospital gown. The hospital gown was a bit generous, making her body thinner and thinner.

She is undergoing an infusion, and her face is much better compared to when she was sent in a few days ago.

But it just changed from a deathly black green to a paper-like pale.

The medication list on the table says her name-Hu Yao.

She suffers from congenital immunodeficiency disease, which is a rare disease. When she was a child, the doctor said that she might not live to be ten years old. Now she has been stumbling and living for more than ten years.

Not long ago, she contracted a cold and induced pneumonia, and was admitted to the intensive care unit on the same day.

She can't remember how many times she has stood in front of Death.

A small cold can be dealt with by ordinary people drinking a few sips of hot water, but she almost died because of it.

The cold potion was slowly injected into the vein, and she sighed gently.

To live so protractedly is a burden to her and her family, not as good as...

"sister."

A voice came from the door, and Hu Yao quickly pulled her thoughts back and wiped the corners of her eyes with her left hand without infusion, "Xiao Ying, why are you here again?"

The man called "Xiaoying" is Hu Ying-Hu Ying is his stage name changed after he became an artist for fortune-telling. He has the same surname as Hu Yao, with a single name.

Hu Ying.

"Are you not happy when I came to see you?" Hu Ying didn't bring any condolences, and when she walked to the bed, she took off her long dark gray coat.

"It's not unhappy." Hu Yao's eyebrows were full of worry, "But Xiao Ying, you have your career, and you always run to me, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry." Hu Ying sat on the chair, her eyes that fascinated countless boys and girls looked at Hu Yao earnestly, "Sister, I have arranged everything, and it won't take much time to see you."

Hu Yao's face was full of guilt. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still asked, "I live here, it costs a lot of money every day, right?"

Hu Ying smiled, "Sister, are you still worried about money?"

Hu Yao said: "It's not worrying... Sister knows that you are promising now, and you have made a lot of money, but you have to save it for yourself. I can't cure my disease. I have long been used to being hospitalized. In fact, hospitalization is not used. This kind of private hospital."

"It's quiet here, which will help you recover." Huying coaxed patiently: "And if you change to those hospitals in the city, there will be people everywhere, how can I see you?"

Hu Yao also smiled and sighed: "We Xiaoying are now big stars."

The siblings talked about the little things that happened recently, and it didn't take long for Hu Yao to fall into exhaustion.

Huying pulled the quilt for her, and said softly, "Sister, go to sleep."

Hu Yao said: "Go back, you are tired, and you have time to rest."

Hu Ying shook his head, "I will stay with you for a while, and I will go back when you fall asleep."

The ward was quiet, only the mechanical sound of medical equipment was left.

Huying sat motionless on the chair, with his back to the door, the figure from the back looked extraordinarily lonely.

Ming Shu met Hu Ying in the corridor of Renxin Hospital.

When he was stopped, Hu Ying showed a trace of displeasure in his eyes, but the artist's consciousness made him immediately take the displeasure back.

He knew that the other party was the detective who came to him.

Renxin Hospital has complete supporting facilities and keeps almost all visitors confidential. In the cafe, Ming Shu and Hu Ying looked at each other for a moment, and put Zhu Linglong's picture on the table, "Do you have any impression of this girl?"

Huying looked at the photo with a dull expression, and shook his head a few seconds later.

"She's called Zhu Linglong, 24 years old this year." Ming Shu said: "She said that she used to play live werewolf with you."

When he heard the five words "live werewolf killed", Hu Ying was visibly startled and frowned, "Is it her?"

Ming Shu said: "It seems that she didn't lie."

Hu Ying asked: "Are there any other photos?"

"Is this photo not like Zhu Linglong in your memory?" Ming Shu asked.

Hu Ying shook his head, "I did play live werewolf, but that was more than three years ago. This girl..."

With that, Hu Ying stopped, as if she was considering her words, "She has changed."

Forgive me.

Three years ago, Linglong Zhu was still in college. Now Linglong Zhu is the receptionist of medical aesthetics. Although the time interval between them is not too long, the girls may indeed be very different from three years ago through makeup and trimming. .

Fang Yuanhang immediately found the photo of Zhu Linglong when she was in college, "What about this one?"

Hu Ying glanced, "Yes, I played a live werewolf with her."

Ming Shu took out the photos of Huang Yan and Li Zhaofeng, staring at Huying and said, "What about them?"

More than ten seconds later, Huying said: "They were all members of us who played live werewolf killing at the time. Do they have any problems?"

Ming Shu didn't answer and asked, "How did you make an appointment to play a live werewolf killing?"

Hu Ying was a little confused, "How to make an appointment?"

"Remember it." Ming Shu said, "I want to know the history of that game."

Huying was silent for a moment, "Three years ago, I had signed a contract with Fang Chi, but almost no job found me, and no agent was in charge of me. Sometimes I needed to vent, I went to'Storm' to play board games, at least ten table players Nine tables are all playing Werewolf. Once after playing for an afternoon, someone suggested to play a live Werewolf."

Ming Shu asked: "Who suggested?"

Huying pointed to Huang Yan's photo, "She."

"So she organized the real werewolf killing?" Fang Yuanhang said.

Hu Ying shook her head, "It doesn't count, she just made a suggestion during the break. We are interested in some people at this table and the next two tables, so we started to discuss the time."

Ming Shu said: "You have chosen the beginning of October?"

The Lake Film and Television Line glanced upward, "Yes, early October."

"Is the time and place decided immediately, or will there be contact later?"

"It was decided on the spot." Hu Yingbian recalled, "It was early that day. Those who were willing to participate immediately signed up and decided to go to Maoyang Village in the province. Someone contacted the driver to determine what to do in Xicheng District the morning after tomorrow. Waiting at the hotel entrance. All those who decided to go paid for the chartered car."

"Wait!" Fang Yuanhang felt a little unbelievable, "You decided so fast?"

Hu Ying smiled bitterly, "If you don't pay for this kind of activity as soon as possible, maybe after one night, the emotions will pass, and that's it."

Ming Shu could understand, "I heard from the'Storm' manager, that players who kill live werewolves generally don't leave contact information with each other, and don't know the other party's real name?"

"Yeah." Huying said, "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we are all known by code names."

"What's your code name?"

"Yanhuang."

Ming Shu asked, "How many people went to Maoyang Village?"

Huying said: "Add me, there are 12 people."

"Have you remembered correctly?"

"No. There are actually 13 people sharing the chartered car money, but he didn't arrive on the day of departure."

"Do you have any impression of this person's looks?"

"No impression. I didn't participate when they discussed where to go. I sat aside and waited. I don't know why they chose Maoyangzhai so far away. I was very unhappy at the time and I just wanted to find a place to relax. anywhere is fine."

The journey from Dongye City to Maoyangzhai by chartered car is not that far away, and it takes 10 hours to drive if it goes well.

Ming Shu gradually brought the problem to the focus, "Did something happen during the game?"

Hu Ying's expression changed slightly, as if he was ready to answer, but he didn't know how to answer.

Ming Shu said: "Embarrassed?"

"No." Hu Yingqian frowned, "I don't know."

This answer was beyond Ming Shu's expectation, "You are in Maoyang Village. How can you not know if anything has happened there?"

"I only stayed in Maoyang Village for two days." Huying said, "Nothing happened in the two days I stayed, but I don't know if anything happened after I left."

After a pause, Hu Ying said again: "You found me and asked me about the murder of a real werewolf three years ago. I guess it must have happened in Maoyang Village at that time. I don't know about things, and I don't want to mislead you by talking nonsense. "

Ming Shu asked, "Why did you only stay there for two days? Did you charter a car back and forth together?"

Hu Ying sighed, "Because I can't afford to lose - on the first day of the draw, I got the werewolf card. At night I killed a civilian, the girl you just showed me, her name is Linglong. When voting during the day, I was voted out because of Linglong’s reaction. If you have played Werewolf, you will know that the people who died at night should not have any reaction at all. They were affected by off-site factors before they voted me out."

Ming Shu said, "So you left early in anger?"

"That's right." Hu Ying shrugged, "I think I feel stingy now when I think about it, but I was really angry at that time."

Mingshu asked: "As far as I know, Maoyang Village is very remote and inconvenient in transportation. How did you get back to Dongye City?"

"Walk, take a ride." Huying said: "In fact, it's not that difficult. When you get to the county seat, there is a shuttle bus to the big city."

"What happened later?" Ming Shu asked again: "Are you still in touch with them?"

Hu Ying shook his head, "I received a job soon after I came back. I went to film in a field and went to'Fengbo'... half a year later. Werewolf began to decline, and'Fengbo' was also transitioning from the board game bar to the secret room. I never saw those people again."

Ming Shu didn't ask any further, observing Hu Ying's reaction.

Hu Ying didn't seem to be lying, but Ming Shu always felt that the look in this person's eyes was a bit confusing for him.

"You have asked me so much, and I also have a question to ask you." Hu Ying said suddenly.

Ming Shu said: "What's the problem?"

"These three people..." Hu Ying said slowly: "Are they dead?"

Fang Yuanhang said: "Why do you think so?"

"Death" is definitely a big deal, but Hu Ying's mood is very flat, "Otherwise, what is the reason for you to come to me?"

The serious case was organized into action. At this time, Xu Chun and other field team members had arrived at Hanxing Maoyangzhai under the instruction of Xiao Yuan.
