Madness of the Heart

Los Angeles, Tianyue Hot Spring Villa.

At present, Dongzhuang for ordinary people has been closed, and only Xizhuang for the rich is still open.

Two groups of people from Xucheng and Luocheng were doing site surveys. Fang Yuanhang asked, "Master, which group do we count?"

Ming Shu said, "Should we count... the one who made soy sauce?"

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

I found that you looked like a monkey when Xiao Ju was away!

"The Ming team in Dongye City, right?" A team member wearing a mask ran over and said in a huff: "The Hua team is down here. Are you waiting for him here, or go down and take a look?"

"The flower team is in the drain?" Ming Shu said, "Should I go down and look for him?"

The team members assigned the masks and gloves to Ming Shu and Fang Yuanhang, and led the way down.

Ming Shu called Hua Chong-even though it was Liu Zhiqin-mentioned that he was interested in the Lost Corpse case in Los Angeles. Hua Chong seemed to be very busy and didn't ask more, so he could come here at his convenience.

Lai Xiuliang's case has now hit a dead end. He wondered what he might find in Los Angeles, so after discussing with Yi Fei, he brought Fang Yuanhang to Los Angeles.

Of course, before setting off, he and Xiao Yuan passed their breath.

Xiao Yuan was busy at both ends of the capital, one because of the case, and the other because of Xiao Jincheng.

The last time Xiao Jincheng came to Dongye City, Ming Shu had a bad premonition when he implicitly asked his father to take care of him. Sure enough, Xiao Jincheng was seriously injured. Although he was rescued, the current situation is still stable, but he has not woken up yet.

The old man from the Xiao family was worried about being overwhelmed and was admitted to the hospital. Xiao Yuan had to go to the hospital to see Xiao Jincheng and his old man every day.

If it hadn't been for the burden to be on his shoulders and he couldn't walk away, Mingshu would already be in the capital now.

He and Xiao Jincheng have been fighting since they were young, and they didn't do anything when they were adults, and the chances of meeting each other became less and less, but they still quarreled every time they met.

Like everyone in the Xiao family, he hoped that Xiao Jincheng would wake up quickly.

"It's still the same." Xiao Yuan's voice sounded a little tired. "The doctor said he planned the worst."

Ming Shu sighed, feeling depressed, "How can someone like Xiao Jincheng not survive to harm the world?"

The two of them were silent for a while, Xiao Yuan asked about the case, Ming Shu paused for a moment, and forced himself to work, "You know about Yin Zhen's case, right?"

All vicious cases across the country are collected into the special operations team, and what Xiao Yuan holds in his hands is the preliminary investigation data of this case.

"I know." Xiao Yuan guessed Mingshu's mind at once, "Are you going to Los Angeles?"

"Yeah." Ming Shu said, "This case has some special features, which may be related to the Lai Xiuliang case we are investigating."

Xiao Yuan said: "Then go. It just so happens that the Los Angeles police have helped us a lot before, and you can also help them in the past."

Ming Shu said: "Right, brother, Zhou Lan and the others..."

"In the nationwide juvenile delinquency, there is more than one case of tying firecrackers to the victim and setting it on fire." Xiao Yuan said: "Relax the age. Similar perpetrators range from 20 to 55 years old."

Ming Shu subconsciously pressed the corners of his lips.

"However, in these cases, the victim's deaths are very few. You also know that simply lighting firecrackers will generally not kill people." Xiao Yuan said: "These cases are all about bullying and bullying."

Ming Shu asked: "What is the connection with our case?"

"There is no conclusion yet." Xiao Yuan said: "Further investigation is needed."

Ming Shu nodded, realizing that Xiao Yu'an was not in front of him, and then gave an "um" and asked, "Brother, why is your voice wrong?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Huh? It's okay."

Ming Shu said: "I'm not by your side, you don't know how to take care of yourself."

Xiao Yuan smiled softly, "Should I say this to you?"

When approaching the drain, Ming Shu smelled a strong peculiar smell.

Fang Yuanhang wrinkled his nose and whispered: "The strength is too great!"

The team leading the way said: "Now they are almost scattered, the underground is not ventilated, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, the battle when I first came down... Forget it, I went out so many scenes, and I am considered a veteran. 'Now, I vomited before I came out."

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

He can understand how the energy is so great.

It turns out that in addition to the smell of rotting, there is also the smell of vomit from colleagues.

Mingshu had put on a mask, but his eyelids jumped a few times.

Interpol has been working for a long time, and they understand that masks are actually not very useful. Many times they wear three layers and four layers. The picture is just a psychological comfort.

The only thing that can really block the smell is protective clothing and masks, but this kind of equipment is not available every time it appears, it is troublesome to wear, and it also affects the investigation.

After Ming Shu entered the drainage channel, he realized that this place was very different from what he had imagined.

Tianyue Hot Spring Resort is rich in wealth, and the drainage channel is built like a tangled tunnel. The height is 2 meters 4 and the width is different. The width of the place where the corpse is found is about 1 meter 2, which is a relatively narrow position in the entire drainage channel.

Hua Chong saw Ming Shu and waved his hand.

Ming Shu walked over, "Hua Team, I'm disturbed."

"Excuse me." Hua Chong said: "You come to help me investigate the case, I can't ask for it."

Human adaptability is really terrible. Fang Yuanhang felt that when he approached the drainage channel, he almost fainted, but now walking in the drainage channel, he was used to the smell, and he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.

And his master is more powerful, not only is it not uncomfortable, but also discusses with Hua Chong.

"The murderer did not leave any traces. In other words, the murderer originally left footprints and fingerprints, but in this humid environment, the footprints and fingerprints have all disappeared." Hua Chong said: "As for the materials that can test DNA, It was not found at the scene."

Ming Shu looked at a door ten meters away, "There are many such doors in the entire drainage channel?"

"A total of 78." Hua Chong was a little helpless, "Dongzhuang has 78 communities, and each community can enter the drainage channel. All of them are opened up, and there is no monitoring inside and outside the drainage channel. Any guest or staff member has the opportunity to remove the corpse. Throw it down. In addition, the time to throw the corpse is the Spring Festival. When the flow of people is the highest, it is not easy to detect."

Mingshu had done his homework and asked, "Are the drainage channels of Dongzhuang and Xizhuang connected?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "Although both Dongzhuang and Xizhuang belong to Tianyue Hot Spring Resort, they are actually two completely different marketing systems, which are far apart from each other."

Ming Shu frowned in thought.

Hua Chong turned sideways, "Team Ming, do you care about Xizhuang?"

Ming Shu said: "I heard that the per capita consumption there is very high, and most people simply can't afford it."

"Yes, Xizhuang welcomes'high-end' guests."

"Then Yin Zhen is the target guest of Xizhuang."

People can't stay in the drain for too long, so Hua Chong found a door and went up with Ming Shu.

The sober air immediately poured into his lungs, and Ming Shu hurriedly took off the mask.

"I've considered this question. Yin Zhen's body appeared in Tianyue Hot Spring Resort. Did she come here on her own initiative and then be killed? Or was she brought here by the murderer to throw her body after being killed in another place?" Hua Chong Said: "Both scenarios are possible. The autopsy concluded that Yin Zhen was dissected within 3 hours after his death, and the body was thrown around 12 hours after his death. From the information we currently have, Yin Zhen's The behavior is rather weird. She took the initiative to come to Tianyue Hot Spring Resort. Maybe Xizhuang was built for someone like her. In this way, Xizhuang might be the first spot. Unfortunately, we didn't find it in Xizhuang. Clues related to the murder case."

Ming Shu thought for a while, "If the first possibility is ruled out first, only the latter case will be considered. Why did the murderer throw the corpse into the drainage channel of Dongzhuang?"

"The drainage channel is humid and the temperature is high. It can destroy the clues on the corpse and interfere with the police's judgment." Hua Chong said, frowning, "but these may not be the real purpose of the murderer. And the drainage channel is not conducive to hiding. The corpse, once the smell is released, it will be found immediately."

Ming Shu said: "Yes, if you just want to interfere with the police, the murderer has a better choice. If you want to conceal the case, then you should not throw the body in the drain. The murderer is taking risks and throwing the body in full view. The drainage channel can give the murderer a certain psychological pleasure."

Hua Chong looked at the tree with petals floating on the side of the road.

That is Ewha.

The plum blossom next to it is blooming to its fullest.

Pear blossoms and plum blossoms, one in spring and one in winter, are rarely seen at the same time.

"The murderer is probably not only after throwing the corpse in full view." Hua Chong said: "The drainage channel may have another meaning."

Ming Shu first came here, but he didn't know the case deeply, "Another meaning?"

"Do you know what the most frequent hot spring pools are?" Hua Chong asked.

Mingshu doesn't like to go to hot springs. The only few times he and Xiao Yuan went to hot spring villas in other places, they were all real hot spring water, one family and one pool, there was no situation where a group of people crowded together to "soak".

"You may not be able to imagine it." Hua Chong said, "It's urine."

Ming Shu's eyes opened immediately.

"According to the staff, many middle-aged and elderly guests are unwilling to move after they go to the pool. In a pool of more than 30 people, no one gets up for two or three hours." Hua Chong said: "Some of them urinate directly in the water."

Ming Shu showed an incomprehensible look.

Hua Chong continued: "After a while, someone will clean up the drain. The cleaner said that urine is stinking all year round. I was wondering if the murderer chose to dump the body in the drain, would he want to use this to humiliate Yin Zhen? No one finds the corpse, she will be soaked in urine-although the urine is only a small part of it compared with the spring water poured in."

Ming Shu said: "If you want to humiliate the deceased with excrement, then the sewer in the city is a better choice."

"But the sewers in the city don't have the characteristic of'high temperature'." Hua Chong said and shook his head, "but this is just one of my thoughts, and there is no evidence to support it. The murderer may not have thought so much at all. Ming team ."

Ming Shu raised his eyes, "Huh?"

Unconsciously, Hua Chong had walked to the side of the plum tree, with a few pear blossoms floating down on his head, and touched a plum blossom branch with his right hand.

Ming Shu inexplicably finds this picture very interesting--

They had just left the tragic, foul-smelling corpse throwing scene, and they were filled with a handful of spring breeze. The man who led the case was talking about the **** case and cold and cruel inferences a moment ago. The next moment he was swept away by Chunhua in his hands. Still holding a fragrant plum.

"I heard that there are also cases in Dongye City that have not been resolved. There was a vicious case on New Year's Eve. You have not rested during the entire vacation. Xiao Ju has rushed to the special operations team a few days ago." Hua Chong said, "You are here at this time. The city is looking for me, isn't it just trying to help me solve the case, right?"

Ming Shu stepped forward and smiled: "Nothing can lie to you."

"I heard it when you called me." Hua Chong asked, "Is the case of Dongye City related to the case of Yin Zhen?"

"Is there any contact? I am not sure yet." Ming Shu said, "Team Hua, do you remember that I told you and Teacher Liu before the Spring Festival that we might cooperate?"

"of course I remember."

"Before and after the Spring Festival, several cases I encountered were all related to the'rich and poor'."

Ming Shu did not explicitly mention the case of He Yang and Hu Ying, but he explained the case of Zhou Lan and Lai Xiuliang in detail.

After hearing this, Hua Chong was silent for a while, "Zhou Lan was born in a wealthy family and looked down on poor classmates and killed Xiang Haoming in an extremely cruel way. On the other hand, the relatively wealthy Lai Xiuliang was also killed in an extremely cruel way. At first, the motive was directed towards the'hatred of the rich.' Yin Zhen is even richer, and is the kind of rich that Lai Xiuliang cannot match."

Ming Shu said: "The most important thing is that as soon as we came into contact with the case, we comprehensively sorted out Lai Xiuliang's interpersonal relationship, but the result of the investigation was to exclude all people with motives. This point is similar to Yin Zhen."

Hua Chong said: "It seems that you have inferred the core issues of Yin Zhen's case based on media reports."

Ming Shu said: "I don't know the specific autopsy results yet."

The police car drove to the city bureau, and the spring was bright all the way.

But the detectives didn't want to appreciate the beauty of early spring.

Hua Chong handed the autopsy report to Ming Shu, took off his jacket, shaken, and found a pear blossom hidden on the collar.

Ming Shu turned three pages and suddenly twisted his eyebrows, "Is there a life reaction to the cut?"

"It's not all. There are 17 places that were determined to be injured during his lifetime." Hua Chong poured two cups of hot water. "They are on the thighs and arms, but there are no fatal places such as the chest, abdomen, neck, and head."

Ming Shu took the water and was scalded with hatred.

Hua Chong: "..."

Ming Shu: "..."

You fix me?

"Bring you to warm your hands." Hua Chong said, "I didn't expect you to drink it in one sip."

Ming Shu said, "I suspect you did it on purpose."

Because the one near Zhu is red, and the one near willow is black.

Hua Chong had to take a glass of warm water, "I am not thoughtful enough, I apologize to you."

Ming Shu just talked about it, and didn't really care. He drank the warm water and picked up the autopsy report. "The cause of death was a fracture of the cervical spine caused by a blunt blow, but the injuries to his arms and legs preceded the fracture of the cervical spine. It exists. The murderer didn't cut the deadly part, did he deliberately make Yin Zhen suffer?"

"It may also be the practice before the dismemberment." Hua Chong said: "I tend to think that the murderer is torturing Yin Zhen, and it is extremely cruel abuse."

Mingshu’s pupils contracted slightly, and Xiang Haoming’s death and Lai Xiuliang’s death flashed in his mind, "Who would hate Yin Zhen so much? Can pure hate be able to achieve this level? This murder against Yin Zhen , Has started since November last year."

Hua Chong said: "And Yin Zhen took the initiative to escape from a safe world for her, entering the net that the murderer weaved for her."

"Yin Zhen's behavior made me suddenly think of a possibility!" Ming Shu raised her finger. "When she left Xucheng and went to Silk Phoenix City, she never thought that she would become a victim."

Hua Chong looked at Ming Shu, "She thinks she and the murderer are allies, and what they are about to do must be kept secret from the outside world. She was looking forward to it, so she took care of everything, but in the end, she became the murderer who killed her. accomplice."

"The murderer is someone who has never appeared in her social circle." Ming Shu said: "Only she knows the existence of the murderer."

The phone rang in the police uniform, and a stranger message was sent in.

It took more than ten minutes before Ming Shu saw—

"Watch out for Zhou Ping of the SWAT Corps."

·

South of Han Province, Yingcheng.

This is a small city that has fallen after the enterprise reform. There are many abandoned factories and roads. Many local people have left, and the rest are living a decent life.

Time goes very slowly here.

A black car parked in front of an inconspicuous residential building, the door opened and Liang Zhao got down from the back seat.

He was wearing a retro leather jacket-this dress matched the small town, his eyes were full of guard.

Zhou Shan got down from the co-driver and pointed upstairs, "It's here."

The residential building is the former housing for employees. It has been well built for more than 30 years. It is old and dim and the corridors are very dim.

The two stopped in front of a door on the third floor. Zhou Shan took the key to open the door. The door creaked open, and the smell of old furniture gushed out.

Obviously, there is no one in the room.

Zhou Shan turned on the light, "Mr. Liang, you are staying here for now, what's the matter..."

"Where is your boss?" Liang Zhao said, "I want to see him."

Zhou Shan smiled, "Mr. He is not coming forward now."

"Inconvenient?" Liang Zhao sneered, "It's convenient to see other people, so why is it inconvenient for me to turn?"

Zhou Shan said: "Mr. Liang, I will pass on all your requirements to Mr. He. As long as you complete the'task' as agreed, Mr. He will satisfy all your wishes."

Liang Zhao didn't mind the dust on the sofa. He sat down short, raised his legs and said, "I want to meet people first."

Zhou Shan maintained a consistent smile, "I'm afraid..."

"It was you who found me." Liang Zhao's eyes turned dark, and he looked at Zhou Shan from below, "Mr. He, Mr. He, you have said Mr. He eight hundred times, but this Mr. He did not appear in front of me. "

After a pause of ten seconds, Liang Chao continued: "How do I know if this Mr. He is a character made up by you?"

Zhou Shan shook his head, "Mr. Liang, you laughed."

"Joking?"

"If you don't know my details, how come you came here with me?"

Liang Zhao leaned into the cushion and said nothing.

"The pet that Mr. He raised in the past was not well-behaved, and he bit Mr. He back, making Mr. He a little passive." Zhou Shan said: "Mr. He is indeed inconvenient to come forward now, so I will do everything for you.

"Stop talking nonsense." Liang Chao said: "If you want to work with me, let me see your Mr. He."
