Madness of the Heart

After the holiday, the industrial park resumed its pre-holiday busyness.

Ming Shu stood at the place where Lai Xiuliang's car was parked, and the tablet in his hand was playing the scene of Lai Xiuliang driving into the industrial park before the incident.

The route was the same as usual, but since the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Lai Xiuliang didn't park the car in the regular parking space, but took a big detour and parked at the current place.

And here is a **** that is not a designated parking space in the industrial park.

Mingshu stayed in the same place for more than ten minutes and found that even though the companies had started construction, very few people came here.

It can be imagined that during the holidays, no one may pass by here for a day.

Someone asked Lai Xiuliang to park the car here?

Or does Lai Xiuliang have long liked this place?

The temperature rises, and the trees on the roadside spit out young leaves. The industrial park is far away from the city center. Greening and sanitation are first-class in Dongye City. If you want to talk about the scenery, the view here is open and it is indeed more attractive than the regular parking spaces.

But Lai Xiuliang would choose where to park his car because of the good scenery?

From the perspective of individual behavior logic, this does not conform to Lai Xiuliang's concept of work first.

But there is one element of time that cannot be ignored-it was the Spring Festival at that time, and even the most demanding people would have a shallow or deep stage of psychological relaxation during the Spring Festival.

It is not impossible for Lai Xiuliang to change the parking position in this state of mind.

And this gave the murderer an opportunity.

This place and its surroundings are not covered by surveillance, from here to Liangchen Technology is close to 500 meters away, only a short section close to Liangchen Technology has a camera.

The murderer must have robbed Lai Xiuliang on this road.

Ming Shu walked to Liangchen Technology, thinking quickly in his mind.

How did the murderer take away Lai Xiuliang?

The simplest and most common method is of course to force Lai Xiuliang into the car when he does not react. This is in line with the inference that there is more than one murderer.

Is there a more peaceful way?

There was a very light fragrance of grass in the air, Ming Shu took a deep breath, and another picture poured into his mind——

After parking the car, Lai Xiuliang is walking towards Liangchen Technology. The key issue of the project's launch has been solved in the past few days. It can be easier, but it cannot be relaxed, because there are more things to worry about in the future.

Suddenly, Lai Xiuliang heard someone calling himself.

He turned around and saw a familiar man.

The other party smiled at him with simple greetings, such as asking "Why is Mr. Lai still working overtime during the Spring Festival? It's so hard."

In a moment, Lai Xiuliang and the man turned around, got in the man's car, or walked with the man to the east side, which was still under construction, because the man said that the car was parked there.

Ming Shu stopped.

If this man exists, then it must not be those who have been hurt by Lai Xiuliang and hate Lai Xiuliang.

This man, or the person represented by this man, is stronger than Lai Xiuliang. Not only could Lai Xiuliang couldn't refuse, but he was flattered, and he wished to follow the man immediately.

There is such a passage when Hu Ying tells the story of being controlled by He Yang. Ming Shu repeatedly watched the interrogation video and remembered it quite clearly—Hu Ying said that He Yang's secretary Zhou Shan appeared in front of him at the time and told him that a gentleman wanted to see him.

Huying is facing huge difficulties and desperately needs to find a "golden master" who can help him, so he must last Zhou Shan's car.

This is the obedience that some low-status people, in the face of powerful people, because they are seeking, or fearing, or wanting to cling to others, they give birth to obedience.

Lai Xiuliang is a businessman, rich, but far from being on the top of the pyramid. Everything about him is made by himself, and the name "Creation Generation" suits him well.

Having struggled in the market for many years, he is most aware of the importance of "relationship" and must have a very clear understanding of his status.

He wants to go up, and wants to make Liangchen Technology bigger and stronger.

When kicking off old employees and partners who have been drained of value, he needs to climb higher branches.

If the opportunity appeared in front of him at this time, he could not let it go.

Unknowingly, Mingshu had already reached the door of Liangchen Technology.

This is a new idea.

Previously, the crime team focused on those who were "lower" than Lai Xiuliang. The suspects are concentrated in two groups: one is the residents of the North District of the "Chunchao River", the conflict that broke out during the Spring Festival and the mentality of "hatred of the rich" caused them to commit crimes; the other is employees who resent Lai Xiu's conscience, from Yifei According to feedback, Lai Xiuliang did not treat his subordinates as equals.

However, the investigation of these two groups did not go smoothly. Motivated people touched one by one, and they did not have the time to commit the crime.

During the Spring Festival holiday, the houses were lively, and the alibi of these people proved very sufficient.

In addition, based on empirical analysis alone, these two groups may have killed Lai Xiuliang, but Lai Xiuliang's horrible death does not seem to be theirs.

There are many serious crime team members in Liangchen Technology, and Fang Yuanhang is upstairs.

Ming Shu did not go up temporarily and continued to sort out the case.

The new thinking transfers the suspicion to someone "higher" than Lai Xiuliang.

Compared with ordinary people struggling for basic life, those who make Lai Xiuliang please have power, wealth, and status. In terms of objective crime ability alone, they are far superior to Chen Jian and others.

The kind of scene in the tool room, they are much less difficult to complete than others.

Ming Shu sighed.

But why did they put Lai Xiuliang to death?

Is the investigation of Lai Xiuliang's interpersonal relationship by the serious crime team not detailed enough?

"Master?" Fang Yuanhang's voice came from a high place.

Ming Shu looked up and saw the apprentice standing on the terrace on the third floor.

"Where have you been?" Fang Yuanhang asked.

Ming Shu didn't answer, and went upstairs to meet Fang Yuanhang.

The third floor terrace is the largest terrace of Liangchen Technology. There is a glass coffee house on it and a semi-enclosed small meeting room.

Ming Shu stood by the railing, subconsciously looking at where Lai Xiuliang's car was parked.

After a few seconds, he frowned suddenly.

From this terrace, which is known as the "excellent view", there is no way to see the road he just walked over.

Ming Shu hurriedly left the terrace, went to the windows of several offices, and then went up to a higher floor.

I can't see it, I can't see it.

The place where Lai Xiuliang stopped during the Spring Festival was actually in the blind zone of Liangchen Technology.

Did he do it on purpose?

Fang Yuanhang called Lai Xiuliang's secretary Lu Haoyong over.

Lu Haoyong said cautiously that Lai Xiuliang likes to spy on employees’ privacy and has installed surveillance programs in the company’s network. All Internet records are collected by Lai Xiuliang. As a secretary, one of his important tasks is to report employees’ privacy to Lai Xiuliang. The following comments, hobbies, and friends.

In contrast, Lai Xiuliang is very disgusted with his privacy being known by employees.

Even the car, Lai Xiuliang was reluctant to park in a parking space near Liangchen Technology, because that would be seen by employees passing by.

Ming Shu asked about where Lai Xiuliang was parking now. Lu Haoyong was not sure: "President Lai used to park far away. If we park too close, we stand upstairs, especially the terrace on the third floor, and we can see his car at a glance. But there is no holiday. Before, there were so many people in the park that it was difficult to find parking spaces. People were all gone during the Spring Festival, so he stopped wherever he wanted."

Ming Shu nodded.

This explanation has more basis than the "viewing the scenery" he had just thought of.

The murderer knew Lai Xiuliang well and chose to work in the industrial park. It is likely that he had assessed the risks and thought this was the most "safe" place.

After returning to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Ming Shu told Yi Fei his idea.

"In terms of murder, rich and powerful people do have an advantage." Yi Fei rubbed his forehead vigorously, "but what's the motive?"

"Don't rub it. The skin is almost rubbed off." Ming Shu interrupted.

"Ah-I have a headache." Yi Fei pressed his eyelids again, "The wind on the riverside has been uncomfortable for a long time."

Ming Shu had prepared well and pulled out a box of antiviral granules from the drawer.

Since Xiao Yuan came to Dongye City, his team leader has become more and more competent. After the winter, I stocked a lot of cold medicine and fever medicine in the office. Whoever had signs of illness went to his drawer to look for it.

"Thank you." Yi Fei said as he went to the drinking fountain and mixed the water, "Xiao Ming, don't tell me, if Lai Xiuliang is killed by the rich man he wants to cling to, then the sense of fragmentation at the murder scene will be lighter. The murderer chose the pebble beach outside the'Chunchao River' to commit the crime in the tool room of the property management repair. They used the iron gate and steel frame used to block the residents of the North District as a murder weapon, all in order to mislead the police and make us believe that the murderer It is the owner of the North District, and the motive is "to hate the rich." Can Chen Jian and the others do this? Yes, but the possibility is actually very small. For people like He Yang, this is simple.

Ming Shu opened his eyelids, "You also thought of He Yang?"

Yi Fei sighed, "We have been around him a while ago. He already lives with me, how can I not remember him."

As he said, Yi Fei poked his temples and said, "But I just gave an example. Not to mention that He Yang didn't make any movements in the near stage. Even if he did, the goal would not be Lai Xiuliang."

Ming Shu adjusted the angle of the back of the chair back, holding his arms and leaning his eyes closed, "He Yang is keen to play with those who are desperate and who have fallen into the bottom of life. Lai Xiuliang does not meet this requirement."

"So according to your new thinking, I can't imagine the murderer's motives for the time being." Yi Fei took a mouthful of the medicine and wrinkled his face in pain. "After checking these days, Lai Xiuliang's personality and network of relationships are actually very clear. Going down, he takes advantage of him while despising those who are inferior to him, and doesn't treat them as human beings. Going up, he seizes every opportunity to please people who are stronger than him. I didn't find any contradiction between him and the upper-class collaborators. , These people are very comfortable by him."

Ming Shu sat for a while, then suddenly stood up.

Yi Fei muttered, "Don't get up in such a hurry, but pay attention to your body. It's winter and it's easy to get sick."

Ming Shu squinted at him, "Worry about yourself, you are still drinking my medicine."

Yi Fei: "..."

Kindly be treated as a donkey liver and lungs?

"I'll go to the special police team." Ming Shu picked up his jacket, "I'll be back soon."

Yi Fei was a little surprised, "Are you going to find Lu Yanzhou? Isn't he on a mission?"

"Don't look for him." Ming Shu said, "I'll go to see the Zhou team."

Yi Fei was stunned, his voice sinking, "Team Zhou..."

"I should go to see him during the Spring Festival, but I can't do anything when I get busy." Ming Shu said: "On the fifth day of the fifth day, the special police team accompanied him to celebrate the New Year. Lu Yanzhou said that he was more energetic and basically recognized everyone. Up."

Since Lin Jiao's incident occurred in the Psychological Research Center, the overall atmosphere has been a bit embarrassing.

Ming Shu walked through the corridor of the special police corps and was taken to Zhou Ping's door by a young psychologist after registration.

The curtains were closed, and there was no light in the room.

Zhou Ping sat alone by the window, looking outside through the gap in the curtain, as if he hadn't noticed anyone coming.

But Ming Shu saw his shoulders suddenly tighten.

This is a defensive posture.

Zhou Ping knew that there was someone behind him, and pretended not to know anything in a fearful mind.

Ming Shu whispered: "Team Zhou."

Zhou Ping did not turn around.

Ming Shu approached step by step, "Team Zhou, I am Ming Shu."

After a few minutes, Zhou Ping slowly turned around, looked up at Ming Shu, then curled his lips and smiled lightly.

This is a slow motion process.

Ming Shu looked at Zhou Ping's thin face and dull eyes, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Will he get better?

Or will it be like this for the rest of my life?

This dumpling shop is not a time-honored brand, nor is it an Internet celebrity restaurant. It is open in a residential area. The business is good or bad, and the regular customers are residents living nearby.

Liang Zhao ordered a couple of dumplings, and ordered a cage of soup dumplings, and ate them without anyone else in front of Zhou Shan.

It was past the meal. Apart from them, there was only one customer, a student, sitting at the door, eating dumplings and playing games with headphones.

Zhou Shan didn't wear a suit, and his jacket and jeans look very much in line with the style of this store.

He didn't point anything, and patiently watched Liang Zhao devour it.

In less than ten minutes, the dishes on the table were empty.

Liang Zhao had a fierce face, and when he was wearing a police uniform, he was still a bit heroic and righteous, but he was no longer a policeman. This heroic righteousness became a bandit.

After eating, he didn't speak, and looked at Zhou Shan gloomily.

Zhou Shan smiled, "How did you think about what we said last time?"

Liang Zhao snorted coldly, "Why do you see me with so many policemen in Dongye City?"

Zhou Shan said: "You have a temperament that is particularly attractive to Mr. He."

"Oh? What kind of temperament?"

"Unwilling to be an iron-blooded policeman."

Liang Zhao frowned fiercely.

"You can put any conditions to Mr. He." Zhou Shan said: "As long as you don't'excessive', Mr. He can satisfy you."

Liang Zhao said: "What conditions are in the category of'excessive' in your eyes? Does it count for one person to die?"

Zhou Shan laughed, "How do you count this kind of'little things'?'Excessive' things... I think about it, like picking the moon and the stars."

Liang Zhao tilted Zhou Shan badly, "You are telling me in a disguised form that you are omnipotent."

Zhou Shan said: "It's good if you know it, and you will not regret it if you cooperate with us."

"What if I say no?" Liang Zhao said: "Don't forget, I used to be a policeman in the Criminal Investigation Bureau. I can take you to the Criminal Investigation Bureau now."

Zhou Shan shook his head, "You will come here, indicating that you have decided to cooperate with us."

Liang Zhao smacked his mouth impatiently.

Zhou Shan squinted, "Mr. Liang, I am very happy to be able to cooperate with you."

The scar on Liang Zhao's face suddenly tightened, and then he trembled.

"There is another thing I want to ask you." Zhou Shan said: "Have you met Captain Zhou Pingzhou of the Special Police Corps recently?"

Liang Zhao's eyes became cold, "What are you asking him for?"

·

In the Los Angeles City Bureau, there were a lot of people sitting in the Office No. 1 of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and live photos were shown on the projector.

Hua Chong came late and stood by the door in the back row.

Tianyue Hot Spring Villa in the southern suburbs reported to the police that rotten corpses had been found in the drainage channel of Dongzhuang.

The staff was terribly scared, saying that a few days ago, elderly guests reported that they smelled a strange smell, like something rotted in the drain. At that time, everyone didn't think it was the same thing, because some low-quality guests felt that they had to spend enough money to make enough money, and they were reluctant to get up after entering the water and excrete their urine in the pool. Odor in the drain is common and will be cleaned regularly.

However, after that, the strange smell became more and more serious. Not only the guests continued to report, but the staff themselves felt that something was wrong. When they entered the drain, they found that there were some unknown objects stacked in pockets. There were 3 bags in total. It just comes out of these pockets.

When the first pocket was opened, the staff hadn't understood what was in it until they saw a rotten hand in the second pocket.

The criminal police of the branch rushed to the scene, and the autopsy and investigation are currently in progress.

The corpse case is a big case, so the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau will also participate in the investigation.

"The temperature and humidity in the drainage channel are much higher than normal. The corpse decomposes faster, and the time of death is difficult to judge." After the meeting, Liu Zhiqin and Hua Chong stayed in the conference room and told Hua Chong the part that he had missed. "The deceased is Female, the corpse was broken down into 23 pieces, the organs and limbs were not missing, and the splicing has been completed. The cause of death is not yet known, and the identity has not yet been determined, but the age can be measured, between 28 and 30 years old."

Although murders have occurred from time to time in Los Angeles in the past two years, they have almost always committed passionate crimes. The malignant case of corpses has not occurred for a long time.

Hua Chong checked the photos of the scene one by one, and gradually twisted his eyebrows. “Tianyue Hot Spring Resort is famous for its high prices and high quality. Places like drainage channels are not something ordinary people can go to.”

"It was originally like this." Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chong raised his eyes, "Originally?"

"Dongzhuang is overcrowded during the Spring Festival holiday, and management is inevitably lax. It is not impossible for those who want to enter the drainage channel." Liu Zhiqin said: "And the hot springs are inherently special. In order to protect the privacy of guests, it is impossible to install surveillance in many places. ."

Hua Chong stared at Liu Zhiqin's face, motionless for half a minute.

Liu Zhiqin's hand scratched the root of his ring finger under the table, "Huh?"

"Without monitoring, wouldn't you be useless?" Hua Chong withdrew his hand.

Liu Zhiqin laughed, "Your Brother Xiao Liu can be your right-hand man without relying on the Internet."
