Madness of the Heart

Nine years ago, the 40-year-old Qin Guosheng died strangely in the laboratory of the School of Pharmacy. Traces and surveillance on the scene showed that Qin Guosheng had been alone in the laboratory before his death. After forensic identification, Qin Guosheng died of sodium cyanide poisoning and committed suicide.

For a pharmacy lecturer, obtaining sodium cyanide is extremely easy. But Qin Guosheng's death caused a lot of controversy at the time—because Qin Guosheng's appearance changed significantly before his death, and after his death, he couldn't see his original appearance.

However, after DNA identification, it was no one else who died after taking sodium cyanide, but Qin Guosheng himself.

When the case happened, Mingshu had not yet arrived in Dongye City. Moreover, this case is not a major case, and it is not too difficult to detect. After the Dongcheng District Branch took the case, it solved it by itself.

Why Qin Guosheng committed suicide was discussed for a while at the Medical University, especially the School of Pharmacy.

First, the development of Tan Guo Province is not smooth and there is no room for improvement.

Qin Guosheng was born in the southeastern rural area. He studied in a low-ranking medical school with excellent grades. He was admitted to Dongye Medical University at the postgraduate level. , Seemingly promising. But until the age of 40, Qin Guosheng was still only a lecturer who taught basic courses to undergraduates. He published few papers, failed to produce research results, failed to appraise the title of associate professor, and did not approve the applied projects, and he was getting older and older. Big, compared with batch after batch of new young lecturers, it has become increasingly uncompetitive. The leader did not value it, the students did not like it, and under pressure and despair, Tan Guosheng chose to commit suicide.

One said that Tan Guo province failed to study psychotropic drugs privately.

Qin Guosheng's appearance suddenly changed because of overdose of drugs. A report issued by a forensic doctor after an autopsy and toxicological examination showed that Qin Guo Province frequently and irregularly used drugs containing a large amount of hallucinogens within the first six months of his death, which severely damaged his liver and kidneys.

The most reasonable explanation for Qin Guosheng's medication is that he is taking drugs illegally and doing experiments on himself, but this research eventually failed, his body was also worn down, and he had no choice but to commit suicide.

The case has been too long, and the criminal investigation technology nine years ago is too far behind the present. Ming Shu had a preliminary understanding of the Qin Guosheng case, his temples jumped a few times, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Xiao Yuan said: “Luo Ganfeng’s testimony combined with his behavior has no contradictions and high credibility. Wu Zhen wanted to persuade Luo Ganfeng to tell him that the previous suicide was Professor Qin Guoxing of the University of Medical Sciences. This is logical. Professor Qin Guoxing is Qin Guosheng, but Qin Guosheng is only a lecturer, and he committed suicide nine years ago. Then who was it that died in Wu Zhen's hands?"

"Before I found out that Qin Guosheng was dead, I originally suspected that Qin Guoxing was behind the scenes in Luo Ganfeng's mouth." Ming Shu was slow and paused. "A professor at the University of Medical Sciences, even if he is not an expert in psychology, has Ability affects ordinary people like Wu Zhen. Let me make an assumption—"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "You said."

"In the Cha Shachun case, we analyzed that the'mysterious man' cast a wide net and waited for the'seeds' to influence each other and germinate on their own. As long as one of the large number of'seeds' sprouted, his goal will be achieved. It’s like doing an experiment.” Ming Shu said: “Wu Zhen is Qin Guoxing’s first'seed'. He must carefully cultivate Wu Zhen. How to train it? Of course, he will appear in person to verbally confuse Wu Zhen and intervene psychologically. In the end, Wu Zhen killed himself. In this way, the first "seed" would germinate, Wu Zhen would influence others, while Qin Guoxing hid in the dark, pushing Sha Chun, Wang Ying and others one by one. In front of Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen chose. After Wu Zhen handed the baton to Sha Chun, Qin Guoxing chose Long Tianhao, Yu Xiaocheng, and Wen He for Sha Chun. If Yu Xiaocheng did not give up halfway, if there was no Xiao Chun’s Step in, I'm afraid this experiment will continue."

"According to this assumption, Qin Guoxing created the illusion of his own death in front of Wu Zhen." Xiao Yuan said: "Wu Zhen died of sodium cyanide poisoning. Xiao Chun said that Sha Chun did not kill Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen committed suicide. He died without evidence. Next, it’s okay to believe this statement. Then, if you push forward, Wu Zhen probably didn’t kill Qin Guoxing, but just like Sha Chun, he helped deal with Qin Guoxing’s body."

Ming Shu said: "And Qin Guoxing is not a true ‘despairer’."

"So what Wu Zhen saw and dealt with could only be a corpse disguised as Qin Guoxing." Xiao Yuan tapped on the folder lightly, "Qin Guoxing killed a man who was very similar to him for his experiment. Only that. Wu Zhen thought that Qin Guoxing was dead, but in fact, Qin Guoxing was still alive, looking for one target after another in the dark."

Ming Shu was silent for a while, "Xiao Ju, is there any obvious loophole in my inference?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "The key point is whether the person before Wu Zhen was behind the scenes or was another victim? In fact, before Luo Ganfeng revealed the identity of Qin Guoxing, I was inclined to believe that what Wu Zhen'killed' was behind the scenes. Black hand, because this experiment is too random, it is difficult to succeed one after another. Since Wu Zhen was a professor at the University of Medical Sciences, it is basically certain that Qin Guoxing is behind the scenes-you noticed that there is no continuity, Sha Chun affects Yu Xiaocheng, who is younger and less experienced than her, while Wu Zhen also affects Sha Chun and Luo Ganfeng, who are younger, less experienced, and less educated than him."

As he said, Xiao Yuan made a gesture with his left hand tilted to the right, "They can hardly influence people with higher knowledge and culture than their own. This is also the reason why the'domino' gets stuck sooner or later. Pushing backwards, Qin Guoxing persuaded Wu. Zhen, if Qin Guoxing is not behind the scenes, but the victim, then who would be more knowledgeable and educated than a medical professor? If the scope is divided, this scope is too small."

Ming Shu nodded, "That is to say, before discovering that Professor Qin Guoxing is actually a lecturer in Qin Guoxing, there is no problem with my inference."

"But now the problem has arisen." Xiao Yuan looked at the photo of the lecturer Qin Guosheng on the display, "We inferred that the man behind the scenes died nine years ago, and his death is suspicious."

"The doubts are past doubts. Let them go for a while." Ming Shu said, frowning, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuan and smiled.

To insist that it was a smile, but it didn't count, but the corners of his lips raised slightly.

But only this time, Ming Shu was interrupted.

"Xiao Ju, what are you doing?"

"Finally I know'let it go'." Xiao Yuan said: "Don't look at me, say what you think."

Ming Shu stared, "Who interrupted first, and did the wicked complain first?"

"Apologize to the Ming team." Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Hey..." Ming Shu also smiled: "You apologized too quickly."

Xiao Yuan said: "Well, I haven't made you feel the pleasure of arguing yet."

Ming Shu's nose wrinkled slightly-this was his expression only in front of Xiao Yuan, and then coughed, "Your Ming team is going to focus on the case."

Xiao Yuan's tone was still indulgent, "Please, please."

"The death of Qin Guosheng may be problematic, but the more important thing is that we think Qin Guoxing is Qin Guosheng, and Qin Guosheng has died a long time ago." Ming Shu said: "A person who died nine years ago is impossible. After running through time and space until nine years later, he did an experiment. The man behind the scenes used Qin Guosheng's identity to create this series of incidents."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Then, who do you think used the identity of a dead person?"

Ming Shu patted the back of his head, opened his notebook, and wrote a few names "Swish".

First row: Wu Zhen.

Second row: Sha Chun, Luo Ganfeng, Wang Ying.

Third row: Yu Xiaocheng, Long Tianhao, Wen He.

Except for Luo Ganfeng and Yu Xiaocheng, all the seven names were ticked.

"It is possible that Luo Ganfeng and Yu Xiaocheng were not selected by the black hand behind the scenes, but naturally intersected with Wu Zhen and Sha Chun, and then were affected. Wang Ying, Long Tianhao, and Wen He can be sure that they were pushed by a force. "In front of Wu Zhen and Sha Chun. These three people have obvious connections with Dongye Medical University." Ming Shu said: "As for Wu Zhen and Sha Chun, they have no connection with the Medical University. From this probability, the behind-the-scenes is in the medical department. The event is frequent and I am very familiar with the University of Medical Sciences, but the scope of his selection is not limited to the University of Medical Sciences. I judge that he is a faculty member of the University of Medical Sciences. He has a certain relationship with the dead Qin Guosheng, and it is also very important. The point-he is very free."

"Only by leisure can we continue to search for'seeds' in society and guide them to death." Xiao Yuan said: "The two nodes of Wu Zhen and Sha Chun in his match may be a breakthrough point. Wu Zhen Shachun and the University of Medical Sciences have no intersection. , How did he learn about them?"

"Wu Zhen and Sha Chun's social networks are actually very simple." Ming Shu held the pen, tapped the end of the pen gently on his chin, then lowered his head and drew a timeline in his notebook. Being targeted by Qin...no, being targeted by the'mysterious man'. For Wu Zhen, the'mysterious man' is'Professor Qin', or'Professor' for short. Then in December, when Wu Zhen's handwriting suddenly changed,'Professor' 'Telling Wu Zhen about his plan, Wu Zhen was extremely shocked, but after a long period of preparation, Wu Zhen had accepted it imperceptibly. Then, this Spring Festival, the'Professor' died in front of Wu Zhen and Wu Zhen took it. The baton."

Xiao Yuan has come to Mingshu and looked at the timeline in the notebook, "During the Spring Festival, a person who looked like a'professor' died and was a substitute for the'professor'. But this victim seems to have not been discovered yet."

Ming Shu raised his eyes, “It’s been half a year since the Spring Festival, and his family and friends will inevitably report to the police. If the disappearance is investigated, there may be gains. But... I drew a report from last year 12 The scope of the disappearance from September to April of this year has not been discovered so far."

Xiao Yuan said: "You have to be mentally prepared-even if you search through the disappearances of various branches and police stations, you may still find nothing in the end."

Ming Shu certainly understands the reason. "Maybe no one called the police for this victim. The best choice for the'professor' is those men in their 40s and 50s who have no family or friends, and whose DNA information has not been stored in the database. The less interaction they have with society," The professor's conspiracy is less likely to be revealed."

"Yes." Xiao Yuan said: "For the'professor', it is best that no one calls the police. But the disappearance case still has to be investigated. What we are thinking about is the worst case. The reality is not necessarily so bad."

Ming Shu threw the notebook on the coffee table, sunk his back into the back of the sofa and pillow, raised his right hand and pressed it on his forehead, and said after a moment: "I think I have already drawn the appearance of a professor-medical science. Teachers of very unpopular subjects, who have not been academically successful for many years, have serious psychological problems, are depressed, and want to do an earth-shattering experiment. They have no projects on their hands and are not concerned by students. This is actually related to the dead Qin Guosheng. There are similarities. Maybe he was influenced by Qin Guosheng. Before he committed suicide, wasn't Qin Guosheng doing an illegal drug experiment?"

Ming Shu paused for a few seconds, closed his eyes, and his brain was under high load. "Qin Guosheng is experimenting on himself, and the'professor' is experimenting on innocent people. He is eager to succeed and spends almost all of his time on observation, Look for the'seed' and push the'seed' to Wu Zhen and Sha Chun."

"Even if you are a lecturer in an unpopular subject, can you be idle to such a degree?" Xiao Yuan asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Ming Shu opened his eyes and supported himself.

Xiao Yuan said: "This person must be related to Dongye Medical University, but he seems to be too idle, and the average lecturer does not have so much free time."

Ming Shu rubbed his earlobe, "That's true. If it's not a teacher, it would be the logistics staff in the school? But isn't it inconsistent with our previous judgment? As for the logistics staff, their knowledge may not be able to influence Wu Zhen. It seems that there is no need to do this experiment."

"It's hard to tell." Xiao Yuan said: "Almost every college has a legend of a'sweeper monk'."

Ming Shu thought for a while, "I'm going to investigate the disappearance case during the Spring Festival this year."

"Wait." Xiao Yuan called out, "Why does the'Professor' use the name of Qin Guosheng?"

Ming Shu said: "Because Tan Guosheng is already dead? It is always more convenient to blame a dead person than to blame a living person."

"Isn't there another possibility?" Xiao Yuan said: "You mentioned earlier that he was influenced by Tan Guosheng."

Ming Shu reacted, "So if we investigate the case of Qin Guosheng again, maybe we can find important clues! Qin Guosheng died of sodium cyanide poisoning, and Wu Zhen also died of sodium cyanide poisoning."

Xiao Yuan smiled, "Our Ming team rarely wanted to let it go, but it was impossible to let it go this time."

Ming Shu's eyes moved, "Your Ming team is as energetic as Fang Yuanhang. If you don't let it go, you will end the investigation."

Hearing Fang Yuanhang's name, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mingshu noticed and asked, "What?"

"You little apprentice..." Xiao Yu'an hesitated to speak.

Ming Shu was aroused by curiosity, "What's wrong with Fang Yuanhang? Had it harassed you? It shouldn't be the case, he has a degree of hyperactivity."

Xiao Yuan said, "He often observes you secretly recently, haven't you noticed?"

Ming Shu blinked, "Tsk, I thought it was something. It turned out to be just observing me. It's not a day or two that he observes me. He still tries my tone of voice to interrogate suspects. I am his master, not only If you want to preach, you have to teach by example. It’s good for him to observe me.

Xiao Yuan smiled and sighed, "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Ming Shu said, "Xiao Ju, I'm only half talking when I'm not happy!"

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan patted him on his waist. "You think it's a good thing."

Ming Shu walked to the door and remembered another thing, "By the way, Xu Yin came to me?"

Focusing on the case, Xiao Yuan remembered, "She asked if you could find the female victim she saw."

Mingshu's expression changed slightly. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get away, he would definitely investigate what happened in the fourth alley.

"The little girl is so persistent, there are roughly two consequences, one is to add chaos, the other is to provide important clues." Xiao Yuan said: "I asked Xu Chun to take her to see the unsolved disappearance case, maybe she has seen it on it. People."

Ming Shu asked: "What did she say?"

"How can it be so fast?" Xiao Yuan said: "Don't be distracted by this matter, check your case."

Ming Shu returned to the crime team and called everyone to the conference room to assign tasks. Fang Yuanhang listened very carefully, staring at Ming Shu like an electric discharge.

Ming Shu has been good-looking since he was a child. He is quite used to seeing him, and never feels uncomfortable-only chasing Xiao Yuan when he was young and innocent, Xiao Yuan watched him, his heart can be beaten vigorously.

No matter how Fang Yuanhang usually looks at Mingshu with the eyes of a thirsty, serious, focused, hot-blooded, and curious baby, Mingshu has no other thoughts, but not long ago, I heard Xiao Yuan said that the little apprentice had been observing himself recently, unconsciously Pay attention to Fang Yuanhang.

After the meeting, Fang Yuanhang did not leave. Zhenger Bajing asked Mingshu a few questions about the case, and Mingshu answered them one by one, but when he finished, he grabbed the leader.

Fang Yuanhang was stunned, "Master? Gaha?"

Ming Shu smiled, "What is "Gaha"?"

"I learned it from Yu Dalong." When Fang Yuanhang talked about Yu Dalong, he thought of "stallion waist", he thought of Yu Dalong's wish, and he thought that his master was a gangster.

Then the look in Ming Shu's eyes changed.

Ming Shu is so good at observing micro-expressions, how can Fang Yuanhang's eyes be hidden from him?

"Come on, sit down." Ming Shu pointed to a chair next to him.

Fang Yuanhang couldn't figure out the situation and didn't move for a long time.

"Sit down." Ming Shu ordered.

Master's order must not be violated, Fang Yuanhang hurriedly sat down, "Master, what's the matter?"

Last time I said that a good case was solved and talked about it, but hasn't it been solved yet?

Ming Shu sat on the table with his hands on his chest, his long legs dangling, and he didn't look like the captain of the serious crime team at all, "What do you keep watching me doing lately?"

Fang Yuanhang was startled, his eyes widened suddenly.

Damn it! I observe **** was discovered by **** himself?

Upon seeing Ming Shu, the apprentice's reaction was too great, and no one believed that there was no ghost.

"Say it." Ming Shu condescendingly peered at Fang Yuanhang, "What do you always see me doing?"

Fang Yuanhang "be guilty of being a thief", his eyes rolled, his momentum lost, "I don't have one."

Ming Shu must be laughing.

Fang Yuanhang's momentum hasn't been weak in normal times. The suspect, Yi Fei Xu Chun and the others quarreled, which was not the one with the loudest voice and the best spirit. Now it is "withered" and the contrast is too great.

"What's hiding from me, huh?" Ming Shu didn't think that Fang Yuanhang had done anything that betrayed the organization and violated discipline. Fang Yuanhang was upright and righteous in his bones. There was no doubt about that.

Fang Yuanhang lifted his eyelids, cast a sideways glance at Ming Shu, and muttered: "I didn't hide it from you, it was you who kept it from your dear team members."

In fact, Ming Shu didn't have much time to chat, and asked, "Who is Yu Dalong? Your classmate?"

Fang Yuanhang raised his head this time, "Just the one who called you the'stallion waist'."

Ming Shu almost forgot about this person, and said with a smile: "He. Why did you both go together?"

Fang Yuanhang recounted the process of finding Liu Mei. At that time, Ming Shu was full of energy on Sha Chun's case, and didn't care about Liu Mei's side. After listening, he said, "This man is quite clever."

Of course you are clever, and people can see that you are a gay! Fang Yuanhang's face was full of drama in his eyes, thinking: Can you not be clever!

Ming Shu had originally planned to leave, but when he saw Fang Yuanhang's expression, he stopped in time.

"No." Ming Shu said: "Is there anything you are hiding from me, don't leave if you don't tell me today."

Fang Yuanhang inhaled fiercely, feeling that he might not be able to escape this time.

He looked around, no one was there, so he suppressed his voice again and again, "Master, actually you..."

"Team Ming! Where's Team Ming?" At this moment, Fang Yuanhang was brutally interrupted by the roar in the corridor.

The person here is Xu Chun.

"What's the matter?" Ming Shu asked.

Xu Chun said: "You know when you see it!"

In a police room, Xu Yin stared at the woman on the screen, slowly turned around, and grinned at Mingshu.

The woman's face, Xu Yin's smile, and the gleam of the screen covering Xu Yin's face made Ming Shu suddenly feel a strange weirdness.

Fang Yuanhang, who followed, was shocked and unspeakable, "This is..."

Ming Shu asked coldly, "Is this the one who stood in front of your window at night and was later found dead in Yisi Alley?"

Xu Yin nodded vigorously, her voice was tender and sweet, "This is my sister."

The person on the display is the "little ghost", Chi Xiaomin, who disappeared after Li Hongmei killed her roommate.
