Madness of the Heart

As soon as the door opened, a handsome man gave an exaggerated "yo" expression.

Ming Shu pulled out a pair of guest slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of the man, "What? Come in and close the door."

The man came in grinningly, "Little brother, go out to pick up a guest, why don't you change your clothes and wash your face, he came out sloppy and sloppy. Look at you, your hair is upturned, and your clothes are not neat. It's just a loss. Hospitality..."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Ming Shu left the person in the living room and went into the bathroom to wash. "I ran to someone's house early in the morning. Did you do this as a guest? You treat yourself as a guest? See you being so idle, don't It’s because of your style that you were removed from your Anti-Narcotics Corps, right?"

"Fuck you." The man sat on the sofa unceremoniously, still smiling, and put the takeaway pocket he was holding on the coffee table. "Xiao Yuan has been at work for a few hours. It's still early in the morning here? Are you guys here? There is still a jet lag in the house? I kindly gave you the'brother's brand' love meal, but you are good, you cursed me to be expelled. You little brother, you are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

Ming Shu leaned out half of his body from the bathroom, holding an electric toothbrush in his hand, "Have you called my brother?"

"Otherwise, how do I know that your white-eyed wolf hasn't gotten up and hasn't eaten breakfast?" The man took out fish porridge, siu mai, and steamed cake.

When he came out of the bathroom, the top of Ming Shu's hair was a little wet and he could see that he had been stroked with water, but the poke hair that was originally curled was still curled, which looked very funny.

The man grinned.

"Do you have so many funny things a day? The boss is not too young, and you are still a captain. You can't learn from your two elder brothers and stay focused in the world?" Ming Shu ate crayfish last night, and his stomach was a little sick. Feeling comfortable, don't want to eat siu mai, pick up a tasteless steamed cake, "You are in your team, when you talk to the new players, you are so hippy and smiling?"

"I'm optimistic and open-minded." The man said.

"I think you are just heartless and cheeky." Ming Shu said: "Don't try to refute, this is not what I said, it was your brother. If you want to beat you, you must scold you to find him."

Hearing the word "Brother", the man suddenly sighed.

Ming Shu raised his eyes, "Oh, is the heartless and thick-skinned Xiao team upset?"

The man didn't even refute this time.

Ming Shu bit the steamed cake, "Speaking of which makes me happy."

"Family conflict." The man said.

Ming Shu heard something wrong and asked, "It's related to Brother Mu Ting? What's the matter?"

"What else is going on." The man said, "My brother is back in the special forces, you know that."

Ming Shu put down his chopsticks.

The man said, "You continue to eat."

"He almost lost his life last time. After raising him for a few years, he finally recovered." Ming Shu said: "If returning to the Special Forces is just to train new recruits, that's nothing."

"He is going to perform a mission abroad soon." The man shook his head, "Xiao Yuan and I can understand, but the old man can't accept it."

Ming Shu was silent for a while, "I understand the old man."

The man's eyes changed slightly.

Ming Shu said: "The father is only you and Mu Ting's two sons. You are a special anti-drug police, and Mu Ting is a special force. Both of you are too dangerous. Last time, Mu Ting lay down for so long. Going back to the special forces to perform tasks, I can’t accept it for me.”

The man was stunned and said with a smile: "Hey, the white-eyed wolf is starting to lose heart."

Ming Shu squinted at him, "I didn't joke with you."

The visitor was Ming Shu's brother from childhood, Xiao Yuan's cousin Xiao Jincheng.

Among the boys in the Xiao family, Xiao Jincheng and Ming Shu are the closest in age. Both Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yuan's cousin, Xiao Muting, is six years older than Mingshu, and Mingshu always asks Mingshu in everything. Only Xiao Jincheng and Mingshu **** things and complain to each other. Xiao Jincheng is the overlord of the Xiao family. Ming Shu was often teased by him when he was a little older. When he grew up, he had the power to fight back. As long as Xiao Yuan was not there, the two younger ones would fight.

When I was young, my grievances became a mess when I grew up. Ming Shu became a criminal policeman, and Xiao Jincheng became a special anti-narcotics policeman. I don’t see it a few times. I have to pinch a few words when I meet. It looks like an enemy, but the feelings are also. really good. Ming Shu has no brothers or sisters in the Ming family, and Xiao Yuan's cousins ​​are all his elder brothers and second brothers.

Halfway through breakfast, Ming Shu suddenly guessed Xiao Jincheng's purpose for this trip.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xiao Jincheng deliberately touched his arm, "The wolf stared at me, afraid."

Ming Shu asked: "Are you going to perform the task?"

Xiao Jincheng laughed, "Don't be so serious, okay?"

"I'll just say why you came suddenly." Ming Shu picked up a paper towel and wiped his hands. "Brother Mu Ting is returning to the special forces and is about to go abroad. And you are going to perform a very dangerous mission soon. You are worried that something will happen. Come in advance to say hello to Xiao Yuan and me, and let us take care of the old man, right?"

"Fuck me." Xiao Jincheng held his eyebrows helplessly, "it's not good for the little brother to be too smart."

Ming Shu put the unfinished breakfast into his pocket, got up and threw it away.

Xiao Jincheng put aside his joking tone, "I am a special anti-narcotics police, and my brother is a special force. Since we have chosen this path, whatever we face in the future will be our life, and the father's life."

Ming Shu turned his back to Xiao Jincheng, and a moment later said, "I know. I am also a policeman."

Xiao Jincheng smiled, "It's good to know, it's not in vain that we have loved you since childhood."

Ming Shu turned to his side and cursed: "It hurts a ghost! You have to grab edamame from me!"

Xiao Jincheng was inexplicable, "Why does this involve edamame?"

Mingshu was too lazy to explain that it was because he and Xiao Yuan only ate salted edamame last night.

Xiao Jincheng only stayed in Dongye City for one day. In the evening, he met with Xiao Yu'an and left. He walked very well. Everyone else was in a car, but he had a helicopter to pick him up.

When Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jincheng were talking, Ming Shu deliberately walked away and did not listen to what they were saying. With the sound of the helicopter taking off behind him, Ming Shu turned around and saw Xiao Yuan walking towards him.

The night in the city is lively and peaceful, and the streets are full of ordinary ups and downs.

Ming Shu said: "When you were in the special operations team, I sometimes couldn't get in touch with you, so I was very worried and afraid that something would happen to you."

Xiao Yuan squeezed his hand, "It's okay."

Ming Shu nodded, "Yeah."

The two walked aimlessly on the street, and Ming Shu said, "Brother, you can give me a gift."

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan said, "What do you want?"

Ming Shu smiled, "Why don't you ask me why I asked you for a gift?"

"You don't need to ask." Xiao Yuan said: "I will find everything you want."

Ming Shu's ears gradually became hot, and some street lamp light fell in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't even think about what gifts he wanted. There was no shortage of everything at home, and he hadn't suffered a material loss since he was a child.

It was just a whim to ask Xiao Yuan for a gift, and he said so suddenly. It doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as it is given by Xiao Yuan, even dried croissant tofu sold on the roadside will do.

There is a shopping mall nearby, Xiao Yuan said: "Go in and take a look."

On weeknights, there were not many people visiting the mall. Ming Shu finally picked a winter outfit that had just gone on the market, and Xiao Yuan gave him a tie.

At night, this tie was tied around Mingshu's naked neck.

The shift passed in an instant, and there was an eleven in between, because no case was transferred to the crime team, even though the team members had returned to their posts, they were still relatively leisurely.

Mingshu intends to focus on the case of Yisi Alley, but there are so few clues, and Xu Yin started to pretend to be crazy after mentioning Chi Xiaomin last time. After a while, he said that the person he saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin. , For a while, he was confused again, saying that he couldn't remember the person's appearance.

"How do I think Xu Yin is playing tricks on us?" Fang Yuanhang said.

"Do not rule out this possibility." Xu Yin was the first to contact Yi Fei. Every time Yi Fei talked about this little girl, he felt a panic in his heart, like stones, nails and other hard objects on the blackboard. Scratched on the previous page, "A kid who is keen to play the game of finding corpses, it is not surprising that anything can be done."

Ming Shu called Lin Jiao and asked Xu Yin about his recent situation.

"The same way." Lin Jiao said: "Either stay alone in the room and play with building blocks, or run to the SWAT team to slam the door."

Ming Shu asked: "There is no way to open her heart."

Lin Jiao shook his head, "Sorry."

Ming Shu himself is a criminal police background. Although he has a certain degree of research on criminal psychology, he still follows the old path of traditional criminal investigation. Compared with the mysterious psychology, he values ​​practical clues. Therefore, Lin Jiao is helpless. I didn't feel much disappointed.

As Yi Fei said, it is possible for Xu Yin to play games with the police, but Xu Yin, a little girl, has no way to know that Chi Xiaomin is the person the crime team is looking for. That being the case, among so many missing people, why did she just point to Chi Xiaomin's picture and say it was this sister?

The only person she saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin.

Ming Shu thought for a while alone, and heard Xing Mu and the others whispering about something.

If the members of the serious case team are discussing work, they must be magnificent, and their voices are louder and louder. In this scene, you are not talking about serious matters at first glance.

Surrounded by Fang Yuanhang. Ming Shu remembered that the apprentice had been abnormal for a long time, could it be that he was gathering a crowd to talk about him?

Ming Shu quietly walked over, and after listening for a few seconds, he realized that this group of people was planning to go to Qiyue Mountain for an autumn tour while there was no case.

Qiyue Mountain in Shouquan Town, northwest of Ye City has become a sacred place for short-distance autumn excursions in winter.

Mingshu stayed in Dongye for so many years. He had never heard of Qiyue Mountain before. It was in Lu Yanzhou's autumn travel photos that he learned about this place one day during the training of the special operations team last year.

Qiyue Mountain was not called Qiyue Mountain before. Its original name is so that people have no desire to travel. It is called Shixiu Mountain. I don't know who got it.

Dongye City is a large developed city, and people have a strong demand for travel. The surrounding mountains and lakes were almost developed a few years ago. They are all called "urban green lungs" and "the peach blossoms by your side". Every weekend And the small holiday, it was occupied by people who usually live in the city.

Shixiu Mountain has been untapped because of its vulgar name. The mountain is lush and green, and there is also a temple called Haijing Temple, which has almost no incense. No one finds its beauty, so no one disturbs its beauty.

Until the fall of the previous year, a big V traveler from outside ran into Shit Sniffer Mountain by mistake and marveled at the dazzling yellow ginkgo trees. He took a group of noisy yellow leaves and quiet Zen temple photos. On Weibo.

The photos include daytime scenery and nighttime scenery. The scenery during the day is amazingly beautiful, and there is only one picture at night—a bright moon floating in the clear night sky. A monk is putting his hands together under the ginkgo tree, looking compassionate.

Shixiushan has a new name since then, called Qiyue Mountain. Last year, a large number of tourists flocked to enjoy the autumn. Lu Yanzhou ran away with the SLR he just bought at that time, while the brothers of the crime team were because of Ginkgo biloba last year. Huang Shi encountered a big case and failed to join in the fun.

No wonder this year is around the corner.

"Master, let's go together." Seeing Ming Shu coming over, Fang Yuanhang quickly said: "I have checked. The ginkgo leaves at the foot of Qiyue Mountain have just begun to turn yellow these days. We will go this week and there should not be too many tourists. "

Ming Shu said, "What's so good about Ganghuang? It's almost the same until late autumn."

Xing Mu's enthusiasm to refute the leadership came up again, "but we may not be able to wait for the late autumn."

Ming Shu: "Huh?"

Xing Mu moved a position and stood behind Fang Yuanhang, using Fang Yuanhang as a shield, "Wait any longer, although the leaves are all yellow, the case may also come."

Fang Yuanhang and Xiao Man nodded in agreement.

"Can you stop being so crow-mouthed?" Ming Shu smiled, "If you don't have a case for a day, you can't get through life, right?"

"We are planning ahead." Xing Mu said while observing Ming Shu.

Ming Shu is not the kind of leader who does not like to participate in group activities. Although he is really not interested in the sudden appearance of Internet celebrity attractions like Qiyue Mountain, but everyone wants to go, he will follow, "This week? Go on the same day. Will you still stay for one night?"

"I want to live for one night." Fang Yuanhang is the most energetic. "On the mountain there is only Haijing Temple where people can live. We booked in advance, maybe there are bunks. If there is none, it’s okay. It’s not too cold now. Bring camping tents. That's it."

Mingshu doesn't really want to spend the night. With Xiao Yuan at home, who rarely goes to sleep in a tent.

But everyone seemed to think about spending the night.

Mingshu had to say, "Then stay overnight."

Everyone was about to disband, Fang Yuanhang said, "Master, or call Xiao Ju also."

Xing Mu's expression suddenly changed.

Ming Shu knows what he is thinking at a glance-a leader is not enough? Want to call another one?

"Xiao Ju." Ming Shu said: "Xiao Ju is the leader. This kind of activity is called him. It's not convenient."

Xing Mu quietly nodded.

Fang Yuanhang secretly said: Hey! I have no chance to create opportunities for you. Does any apprentice worry like me? You rabbit gnaws on grass at the edge of the nest. What kind of play are you acting hypocritically now?

Ming Shu has read countless people, but this time he didn't see the truth in the eyes of the apprentice.

Fang Yuanhang also said: "The two recent cases we have detected have been guided by the Xiao Bureau. A group of us went out for an autumn tour without screaming at him. Isn't that justified?"

Ming Shuxin said how do you know that I didn't say anything to him? Where can I go without saying a word from him?

"Then I'll go and mention it to him." Ming Shuzheng'er said, "but he probably won't come."

Xing Mu sighed in relief.

In the afternoon, Ming Shu went upstairs to find Xiao Yu'an, and happened to meet Liang Zhao coming out of the deputy director's office.

"Liang team." Ming Shu took the initiative to say hello.

Compared with the previous few meetings, Liang Zhao's spirit seemed to be much better, and there was a smile on his fierce and ruthless face.

Liang Zhao nodded, "Come to see Xiao Ju?"

Ming Shu said, "I want to ask Xiao Ju for advice on something in the group."

"Then you go in." Liang Zhao said and turned around, "I have something to do, let's go first."

Ming Shu watched Liang Zhao go downstairs before knocking on the office door.

Xiao Yuan was reading a document, and seeing Ming Shu came, he asked casually: "What?"

Ming Shu left behind the matter of going camping at Qiyue Mountain, and asked, "What is the matter of Team Liang looking for you?"

"He will be transferred to the Beicheng branch for a period of time." Xiao Yuan put down the files, "Come and do some work handovers with me."

"Branch?" Ming Shu was a little surprised. First, there was no related news before, and second, how could Liang Chao be willing to go to the branch.

Xiao Yuan said: "Isn't Beicheng going to host the International Electronic Commodities Fair in December? Security pressure is very high. Team Liang took the initiative to apply for Li Ju, saying that he wanted to temporarily adjust it."

Ming Shu was still a little surprised, "This is not Team Liang's style."

"Team Liang is also exploring and changing." Xiao Yuan said: "I can see that he still wants to go up."

Mingshu felt that he didn't need to worry about the changes in the upper-level leadership, so he mentioned the autumn outing to Xiao Yuan.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuan said: "You go, I am here, you can't have fun."

Mingshu has passed the age of being stuck with Xiao Yuan all the time, and is not disappointed. He smiled and said, "I suddenly feel a little guilty."

Xiao Yuan said, "Because you left me alone at home?"

Ming Shu waved his arms passionately, "Because I let a man at the age of a wolf and a tiger stand alone in a vacant room!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, "Why didn't you become a comedian back then?"

"Being a comedian has to act for the people of the whole country." Mingshu explained righteously, "I'm a criminal policeman and I'll only play it for you alone. How about?"

Xiao Yuan said, "How about what?"

Ming Shu asked, "Do you think you really picked up a treasure?"

"Yes, yes," Xiao Yuan said indulgingly: "I found a big baby who can solve crimes and act."

Fang Yuanhang followed a Weibo account dedicated to posting short-distance travel information around Dongye City. Every day, he scanned pictures of others to see how yellow the ginkgo leaves on Qiyue Mountain were. Because there is no continuous high-intensity cooling, the degree of yellowing of the leaves is not ideal.

Qiyue Mountain’s leaves turn yellow in one year. This month is popular. Winter is too cold, spring and summer have no special features. Coupled with inconvenient transportation, few people go hiking.

"I told you to wait ten and a half months, you don't believe me!" Zhao Siyan wore a snow-white sportswear, even the shoes on his feet were white, and a Nikon SLR hung on his chest, while climbing up the mountain with great effort. Complained: "Look for yourself, is this trip in vain?"

"Why is it white?" Lu Chen followed behind, wearing bright red sportswear and black sneakers. "Stay at school all day long. Don't you feel bored? You should have come out to breathe. Here is the air. It’s so good, even if you don’t see many yellow leaves, it’s good to have a breath of fresh air. And where are we climbing here, we haven’t even reached the mountainside, of course the leaves are not yellow. I don’t believe that there are no leaves on the top of the mountain. yellow."

Zhao Siyan stopped and turned around angrily, "God, you want me to climb to the top of the mountain? Are you still a human?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Lu Chen smiled and ran a few steps, pushing Zhao Siyan up, "Don't be long-winded, you are in sportswear and sports shoes today, don't you just want to go out! Listen to me, listen to me Yes, just climb up!"

Qiyue Mountain does not have a formal management team, only the few days when the tourists are the most, the town government will send people up the mountain to maintain order.

And now it is far from the time when there are most tourists.

In order to take beautiful photos of ginkgo leaves, the two girls kept cheering each other up and climbing up the mountain. After passing the Haijing Temple halfway up the mountain, Lu Chen suggested to go in and rest before asking the monks about the situation on the top of the mountain.

"It's better not to go up anymore." The young monk said, "The ginkgo leaves on the top of the mountain should be yellow, but few people go up, there is no way, and it's not early now. When it gets to the top, the sky is definitely already It's dark, you two girls are not safe."

"It's okay!" Lu Chen said, "We are all female men!"

The two must go to the top of the mountain, but the monks had no choice but to tell them to pay attention to safety.

After seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

The mountains are not like cities, there are other rays of light after the sun sets, and the sky is really dark when the sky goes dark on Qiyue Mountain.

Zhao Siyan began to be afraid, "Let's go back, it's cold to death."

Lu Chen was not as brave when he came, and took Zhao Siyan's hand down the mountain.

It’s easy to go up the mountain and it’s hard to go down. It’s nothing more than a physical effort to climb up. Now it’s all right, it’s so dark, there is no way to stay.

The most disturbing thing is that mobile phones have entered a "no service" state.

Zhao Siyan slipped and fell, and his snow-white sportswear was covered with mud and moss.

"I'm afraid..." she cried, "what should I do?"

"You wait for me here, and I will go down and see where I can go." Lu Chen held a thick twig he picked up in his hand, "Don't panic, if we can come up, we will definitely be able to go down."

Zhao Siyan cried harder, "Don't go!"

"I won't go down to find the way, neither of us should think about going down the mountain tonight!" Lu Chen said, "I won't go too far. I will come back to pick you up when I find a way, and then find another one."

Zhao Siyan disagrees and can only agree.

Lu Chen smiled at her under the moonlight, and pretended to be relaxed: "We were all fooled by that big V. The ginkgo under the moonlight is not beautiful at all, I can't see it at all. I don't know when he took it. I don’t believe in the big V anymore!"

Zhao Siyan said anxiously, "Hurry back when you find your way!"

Lu Chen said: "I know, I know."

Zhao Siyan watched Lu Chen walk away, his figure gradually blurred, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.

"Chenchen?" She stood up from the ground, tentatively walking into the darkness, "Chenchen, where are you?"

Lu Chen did not answer, and there was no sound of anyone stepping on the ground.

Zhao Siyan's heartbeat increased, and his voice trembled, "Chenchen! Answer me!"
