Madness of the Heart

An eye-catching silver off-road vehicle sprinted on a not-so-wide road, bumping over stalls along the way one after another, eggs and vegetable leaves were scattered on the ground, and people screamed and fled around.

A black car followed the off-road vehicle.

Compared with crazy off-road vehicles, cars are obviously driven more cautiously, so they are thrown off by off-road vehicles from time to time.

Crossing the most crowded section of the city center, off-road vehicles turned to the southern suburbs. The engine made a huge roar, and the hardened wheels rolled up the sticky mud. The car was in hot pursuit, and the distance between the two cars kept shrinking.

Ming Shu held the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the off-road vehicle ahead.

In the driver's seat of that car sat Xun Xiaoyun, an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years-a criminal he did not expect.

A series of revenge, provoking the police, finally, this person provoked in front of him.

Xiangshan City is located in a remote mountainous area with a lack of police force. Xiao Yuan asked him to stay in the city bureau temporarily and don’t act rashly. However, Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared. There was also a photo of Xiang Lin tied to the roof on his mobile phone. He naturally did not It may be ignored, waiting in place for Xiao Yuan and the special operations team to arrive.

Xiang Lin-Xiang Haoming's father-disappeared for many days, it turned out that Xun Xiaoyun had long been controlled.

The off-road vehicle drove on the narrow winding mountain road only for two vehicles, and the speed hardly slowed down. The cliffs were sharply bent, the gravel fell, and the screams of the wheels pulled out of the ground severely stimulated people's nerves.

Mingshu's forehead and neck are all sweat, clenching his teeth, and his spirits are highly tense.

Here is the border, Xun Xiaoyun might want to cross the border. Once let him run away, it will be more difficult to arrest again.

After going over three steep hills one after another, the silver off-road vehicle suddenly stopped on a slope. Mingshu looked intently, and saw that the off-road vehicle retreated, driving off the mountain road and diving straight down the slope!

What exactly does Xun Xiaoyun want to do?

What's under the slope?

Ming Shu is very clear that what is waiting for him is most likely a trap, but he has to chase if he chases, and he must chase if he doesn't chase!

"Bah Bah Bah -"

The body bumped against plants and rocks, making a scalp-tingling noise, the scene in front of him shook violently, Ming Shu was dizzy and nauseous, his eyes still staring at the off-road vehicle ahead.

Under the slope, a small gray three-story building suddenly appeared.

The small building was very dilapidated, and only the frame was left on the third floor. A stern roar came from the small building, and it was a man.

The off-road vehicle stopped outside the small building. Xun Xiaoyun got out of the driver's seat and waved to Ming Shu. "Old classmate, long time no see."

Ming Shu looked at the man with a gloomy smile through the windshield of the car.

Xun Xiaoyun wore a black T-shirt and camouflage pants. A tactical vest was hung on the outside of the T-shirt. A pair of dark brown leather boots were on his feet. The pistol was inserted into the tactical vest. A rifle.

Although Ming Shu was chasing in a hurry, he was also wearing a tactical vest at this time, and there was no shortage of necessary combat equipment in his car.

The silence in the forest was abnormal, and the man's pain was particularly harsh.

"Get out of the car." Xun Xiaoyun suddenly raised her hand and made a gesture of surrender, "You chased me so big, didn't you just want to arrest me? I didn't think about running away, but just wanted to reminisce with my old classmates. , Talk about what happened over the years. I guess you must really want to know me now."

Mingshu unlocked the car door, maintaining complete calm and vigilance.

Xun Xiaoyun is not much the same as he remembered, not because of a change in appearance, but the kind of paranoia and madness in his expression.

For such an old classmate, Ming Shu only felt strange.

He never knew Xun Xiaoyun. But there is no doubt that Xun Xiaoyun has been staring at his every move like a ghost.

Xun Xiaoyun seemed very proud when she said, "You must want to know me very much now."

With a wider field of vision outside the car, Ming Shu saw Xiang Lin hanging from the frame on the third floor.

Xiang Lin hissed for help, but in such a place, even if a person called Posing, no one would come to help.

"Bang." Ming Shu closed the door.

"You have a lot to ask me." Xun Xiaoyun swung his right hand in, "Shall we go in and talk?"

Mingshu's eyes are full of exploration.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled, put his pistols and rifles away, put his hands together and swung forward, which means "getting caught with nothing", "old schoolmate, you have no other choice. You are a criminal policeman, you want to save people, and you want to arrest them." Suspect, I am the number one suspect right in front of you. Before being arrested by you, I just want to chat with you a few words."

"Let Xiang Lin go." Ming Shu said.

"Of course." Xun Xiaoyun nodded, "After we talk, you will take him away."

The building was empty, with only a few sturdy pillars on the first floor. Ming Shu leaned on a pillar, "Who is Duan Yun?"

Xun Xiaoyun's eyebrows were sunken in the shadows, but when he heard the words "Duan Yun", his face clearly showed masseter muscles.

"I thought the first thing you wanted to ask was, why did I target you." Xun Xiaoyun had a smile in her tone, but the smile was completely cold, "Old classmate, aren't you curious?"

Ming Shu frowned, "I don't remember what I did to make you hate."

Xun Xiaoyun laughed, "Because winners never see the unwillingness of losers, right?"

"loser?"

"You don't even know that I have been chasing you?"

Ming Shu lifted his chin slightly. In my memory, the intersection between him and Xun Xiaoyun was pitiful, and now he has almost forgotten.

"Sure enough, you are dismissive of people who are inferior to you." Xun Xiaoyun said: "You don't even know that I have appeared in your work place many times? Top students, you don't understand the pain of a chaser. Your good. Brother Lu Yanzhou knows me, your apprentice Fang Yuanhang knows me, and even Teacher Lin of the Psychological Research Center knows me. You alone know nothing about my existence."

Xun Xiaoyun sneered, "Very good, now you have to face me."

Mingshu really didn't understand, he couldn't even figure out why Xun Xiaoyun had stared at him and when.

If you talk about a chaser, he is also a chaser. He chased Xiao Yuan, never knowing that chasing is also a pain.

"When I was studying, I was crushed by you everywhere. No matter what the event, even if it was just a basketball game, as long as you participated in it, I would be a loser." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes suddenly widened, and the large areas of his eyes were horribly white. Think hard and keep thinking about when I can surpass you, even if there is only one item!"

Ming Shu thought of the rusty badge. The bomb disposal victory is probably the only single first place that Xun Xiaoyun won during the university period. That's why I cherished it so much. In the end, he buried it in the place where he met Duan Yun as a vow of revenge.

Xun Xiaoyun said: "In order to beat you, I specialized in criminal psychology and self-study in cyber security. In my senior year, I participated in cyber attack and defense and won a prize, you know?

Ming Shu has no impression.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled bitterly to herself, "It's not surprising that you can't see me with your eyes, and you have already started an internship at that time. Not only you can't see me, our teachers can't see me, what is my award? Do you need this kind of nondescript award? Your photo was posted on the school's honor bar because you, as a trainee police officer, participated in the cracking of a serious case early. My trophy certificate is in the dormitory and no one is concerned. And criminal psychology, Back then, I didn’t get recognition in China. Old classmates, I was driven to desperation step by step by you.”

Mingshu felt extremely absurd. Xun Xiaoyun was clearly unable to struggle with a narrow desire to win and had serious psychological problems, but blamed all this on him.

He is just an imaginary enemy erected unilaterally by Xun Xiaoyun. If it weren't for him, it would be someone else, Yang Jing, Xueba, anyone!

But now, it is too late to pursue these matters.

"Seven years ago, you came to Xiangshan City to relax after you left the criminal police team?" Ming Shu asked.

Xun Xiaoyun was silent for a few minutes, "I was assigned to Gezhong Town, where there will be no big cases in one, five, or ten years. My colleagues are doing nothing all day long, on duty, patrolling, and the whole year goes by. Up."

Ming Shu said, "Are you looking forward to a big case?"

"Don't preach to me, don't like to listen." Xun Xiaoyun waved his hand impatiently, "What were you doing when I wasted my life in Ge Zhongzhen?"

Ming Shu thought for a while, since he left the campus, he hasn't really been idle. Even if there are no serious and important cases in big cities, there are always small cases. If you go back 10,000 steps, even if there are no small cases, the newcomers will also be detained. To study and sort out the accumulated cases.

"I always hear your name." Xun Xiaoyun said: "What case did Mingshu solve and what contribution did Mingshu do... But what about me? I'm so close to you, Ge Zhongzhen, but Doing those jobs that don’t require investigative skills at all. Your future is the backbone of criminal investigations and the person in charge of the serious crime team. Maybe you can be a director or something. What about me? I don’t see the future."

Ming Shu said: "So you chose to resign?"

"I can't stand it anymore!" Xun Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, "As long as I'm still wearing a police uniform, I can't let myself be inferior to you! Every day I ask myself, why can't I keep up with you? I'm only so much worse than you, why the situation? But goodbye?"

Xun Xiaoyun's right index finger is parallel to the thumb, with a distance of less than one centimeter between them. "Why do I have such bad luck? I just want a chance to solve a crime to prove myself, but Ge Zhongzhen is so peaceful that there is not even a murder case!"

"But it's all right now." Xun Xiaoyun let go, "They all say that safety is blessing, and there will be no major incidents in Ge Zhongzhen, I will let it happen!"

Ming Shu said, "You chose to kill He Yang in Gezhong Town because of unwillingness back then?"

"Can't it? I want to let the big case happen there!" Xun Xiaoyun said sharply.

Ming Shu shook his head lightly.

"Speaking back. I went to see a psychologist, and the psychologist said that I need to adjust myself and jump out of my inherent circle. Maybe I should go to a place with a good climate." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes gradually softened, "So I'm here. When I arrived in Xiangshan City, unfortunately, I lost my way in the virgin forest when I arrived, and almost died in it."

Ming Shu said: "Duan Yun saved you."

Xun Xiaoyun took a deep breath, "It seems that you have found it very clearly. Yes, it was Duan Yun who saved me, not only saved me from the virgin forest, but also saved my life. He..."

Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be caught in a unique memory in his life, "He is my sun. What the psychologists did not do, he did."

"Yin Zhuo, why don't you ever laugh?" Duan Yun put fresh vegetables in the sink, "The weather is so good today, you can laugh. You must be handsome when you smile."

"Yin Zhuo, you are lucky!" Duan Yun took out the white and tender tofu from the basin, "You got lost in the virgin forest, and you ran into me. Gosh, how can anyone have such good luck? ? You should buy a lottery ticket."

"Yin Zhuo, the crispy fish you made is too delicious, right?" Duan Yun planed the rice with an excellent appetite, "I have never eaten such a delicious fish. Let's discuss it with me every day. Give you food, how about you cook for me every day? Hurry up and agree, I'll call your brother!"

"Yin Zhuo, you are amazing, you can do anything. You can teach me a few tricks tomorrow? I will learn to defend myself!" Duan Yun was lying on the ground panting, sweating profusely, "I had two wishes when I was a child, one is to read University, the second is to be a soldier, you have done it all, you are my idol!"

"Yin Zhuo, you really like to laugh now!" Duan Yun showed her little white teeth, standing in the sun, her whole figure seemed to melt into the light, "That's right, life is actually pretty good, if there is a low point. , I will be your ladder!"

"I didn't tell the truth to him." Xun Xiaoyun's voice became hoarse unknowingly, "I am not Yin Zhuo, and I have never been a soldier. I am just a failed former criminal policeman."

"How can you say that a person can be so kind? He can't see all my darkness and flaws. His eyes seem to only find my good, and he always praises me in different ways." Xun Xiaoyun said: " When I left Xiangshan City, I felt that I had already walked out, no longer obsessed with competing with you, looking forward, I could see hope."

Ming Shu's fingertips felt a little cold. In Ke Zheng's description, he has already learned how sunny Duan Yun is, and Xun Xiaoyun has made all this more vivid.

Duan Yun is the sun. Xun Xiaoyun once had it, but at a certain moment, he lost it forever.

"I started to use my advantages to start a business. Interpol was not suitable for me. I found my value in the IT industry." Xun Xiaoyun slowly said: "I focus on my career. The company has developed into a leading company in the industry. I...I am in a hurry, and I am no worse than any of your old classmates!"

"I deceived Duan Yun back then. My identity was fake, and my experience as a soldier was fabricated. Before I could spell a name, I didn't have the face to look for him." Xun Xiaoyun's voice suddenly trembled, "But when I can' When he returned to his hometown, he had already..."

Sadness seems to have penetrated into the air, and Ming Shupin has reached despair, suffocation, and pain that is difficult to resolve.

"Yin Zhen, He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, Yue Shuqing..." Xun Xiaoyun read the name of the audience in the game three years ago, "There are such vicious people and such cruel things in the world. Why is Duan Yun? ?Why is my sun?"

For a long time, Xun Xiaoyun murmured: "The struggle of those years was like a false dream. The dream suddenly woke up and I was the same me as before. Duan Yun took everything away from me as soon as Duan Yun left. I want to give it to him. Revenge, I will... beat you."

Ming Shu pressed the corners of his lips.

Xun Xiaoyun laughed dryly, "Excellent old classmates, Ming team, I have beaten you!"

"When I was a police academy or a criminal policeman, I always competed with you, but the competition couldn't. It was you who pushed me into a pit that I couldn't get up. But being a murderer suits me very well. I commit crimes on your territory. You have instigated others to commit crimes on your site, and all have succeeded! You have been eyeing He Yang a long time ago? But what? I was under your nose and killed He Yang! And all you can do is find me The murderer!"

"The person upstairs." Xun Xiaoyun pointed upwards, "His son was killed by the little devil I'taught', and he himself fell into my hands. What if you solved the case? Xiang Haoming already Dead. Old classmate, I won this round of our confrontation!"

Ming Shu's face was solemn, his fists clenched.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled again: "Do you also feel the feeling of a loser? What is the most failure as a policeman? It is unable to prevent the murder from happening! But I can, Zhou Lan and the three are like the seedlings I cultivated. They came On the day of the Ninth Battlefield, I noticed them, and noticed Xiang Haoming who was being eyed by them."

Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be an arrogant winner, and his voice became louder and louder, "Only I can stop that slaughter!"

Ming Shu said solemnly, "But not only did you not stop, you imprisoned Xiang Haoming's father."

The laughter reverberated in the empty building, and it was difficult for the listener to tell whether the laughter was joy or sorrow.

"I am a murderer, not a policeman, why should I stop it? I hope it will happen too late!" Xun Xiaoyun was full of hostility, almost turned into substance, hatred and jealousy distorted his facial features.

If Mingshu just thought he was not like his former classmates, he is now a complete stranger to Mingshu.

"Among those **** people, He Yang is the most difficult one to deal with, suspicious, cunning, and cruel. Do you know how I killed He Yang?" Xun Xiaoyun smiled gloomily: "Such an excellent criminal of the Ming team, I should have thought of my modus operandi, right?"

"You and Cao Zhiya killed the foreigner Nishikawa Suzumi, you let Cao Zhiya approach He Yang as Nishikawa Suzumi, and show He Yang certain scenes in the'Ninth Battlefield'. Ordinary people only because of those scenes. Feeling uncomfortable, anti-social personality people will feel excited, attracted, and the evil thoughts in their hearts will be further stimulated." Ming Shu said: "I guess, those scenes are all designed by you."

Xun Xiaoyun nodded in satisfaction, "Go on."

"He Yang began to be interested in Nishikawa Lingmei. Nishikawa Lingmei told him that he would not only design a secret room, but also design a real killing show." Ming Shu said, "It is Lai Xiuliang who is dedicated to He Yang as a bug."

Xun Xiaoyun said: "That's right."

Ming Shu’s eyes rolled with anger, but his tone was extremely restrained. “Xichuan Lingmei has repeatedly instilled a concept to He Yang that weak bugs are not worth killing, and playing with rich bugs is the pleasure of the upper class. So rich, And Lai Xiuliang, who has a strong desire to rise, became the best candidate. On the day Lai Xiuliang disappeared, it was you or Nishikawa Suzumi who told him that Mr. He would please.

Xun Xiaoyun applauded twice, "That insatiable premature dying ghost, as soon as he heard it was good, he took the initiative to follow me and leave from the Science and Technology Park."

"I have a question." Ming Shu said, "Is He Yang really pleased by the game you prepared?"

"You know He Yang very well." Xun Xiaoyun smiled and said, "He Yang is really hard to please."

"So you killed Lai Xiuliang, just to make him more interested in Nishikawa Suzumi." Ming Shu said: "The more interested he is, when he discovers Nishikawa Suzumi's true identity, his inner desires will be more aroused. You appear in front of He Yang again and tell him the relationship between Cao Zhiya and Liang Xiaojun."

"Mr. He, this is the game I designed for you." Xun Xiaoyun half-squinted, "What is more interesting than killing the Avengers by hand?"

Ming Shu asked: "Cao Zhiya is voluntary?"

"She was grateful to me." Xun Xiaoyun snorted, "I told her the truth about Liang Xiaojun's death, and I took her to the place where Liang Xiaojun was killed. Of course, until the end, I told her that if she wants revenge, she must do it for me. Go to death. I promised her that he would kill He Yang in the cruelest way."

Ming Shu looked at Xun Xiaoyun, and suddenly felt that many reptiles were gnawing between the bones.

A person with serious psychological problems found the sun in his life in the darkness. But when the only sun disappeared, he instantly became a more cruel devil than the devil.

"After killing Cao Zhiya, He Yang finally relaxed his vigilance. He believed that I am a better game designer than Zhou Shan. Only I can make him feel the ultimate game pleasure." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes flashed. The spirit of hatred, "He became my puppet, I let him wait for me in the basement, and he waited for me there obediently. You see, people are actually very easy to manipulate, as long as you know what his greed is, then' Prescribe the right medicine'."

Taking a long breath, Xun Xiaoyun and Ming Shu’s eyes met, "Old classmate, do you admit it? You have completely lost to me! Even if you catch me now, what's the use? The people I want to kill are all Has been killed by me, your teammate is still guarding Kong Mingxuan in Chaocheng, right? But from the very beginning, I didn't have the idea of ​​hitting her. The last one I wanted to kill was actually you!"

Mingshu's gun is already in hand.

"Old classmates, blame those people for killing my sun." Xun Xiaoyun said: "My illness has been cured by Duan Yun. I could have been like you and walk upright in the sun. Others only say that , Don’t be so serious about winning or losing, but I can’t convince myself, after thinking about it, only by defeating you can I be liberated!"

Ming Shu's heart was shaken fiercely.

"In my junior year, I got a badge and won the bomb disposal. That was the only time I have beaten you. I regard that badge as my pride, the only gift I can give. I give it to Duan Yun, vowed to avenge him." Xun Xiaoyun said: "Now, I have fulfilled my oath, and I look forward to seeing him again."

Ming Shu found that Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be planning to end his life.

"But before that, I still want to play a game with you." Xun Xiaoyun smiled incomparably. "He Yang and Yin Zhen think that the lower class are all bugs, but my bug trampled them to death. I am also very serious. I want to play a game of bugs. Xiang Lin has a bomb on his body, I set it up."

Ming Shu's pupils tightened immediately.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Setting up and dismantling bombs is the only place where I can beat you. I know I am very unkind. Old classmate, are you not a good criminal police? It is your duty to save lives. The lives are in front of you. , It depends on whether you dare to save it."
