Madness of the Heart

A "Miemen case", a "1013 case", a disappearance case, and countless clues of the three cases are mixed together. If they are replaced by others, I am afraid they will be messed up long ago, but they have been replaced by Mingshu from a year ago. Maybe they have all been arrested. Less than rein.

But today is different. Ming Shu has been in the special operations team for a year-where is the special operations team? Serious and unresolved cases from all over the country are gathered there, and clues can be pulled into a suffocating web.

Mingshu had come out of that kind of experience, and whether it was his state of mind or vision, he had already reached a higher level. In addition, Xiao Yuan now manages the Criminal Investigation Bureau, which is like a solid backing, which is really not good, and Xiao Yuan is supporting it.

Ming Shu knew what he knew. After eating the chicken soup and the crab buns, he closed the door and sorted out his thoughts, and then called Yi Fei.

Yi Fei is ready, "Should we separate the investigation?"

"Well, the two cases in our hands have been linked by Qin Xu. Lu Chen, Zhao Siyan, he was the first to discover, and he took photos. Among the four victims of 5-8, he was also the first to discover. , Also took a picture. But now in the early stage of investigation, Qin Xu has serious psychological problems. You can’t try to figure out him with normal thinking. It’s not too wise to force the two cases closer because of him, and they are likely to be each other. Interference." Ming Shu tapped his finger on the cover of the notebook, "In this way, I will focus on the case of 5-8. You will focus on the case of Qiyueshan, and we will communicate at any time."

"No problem." Yi Fei nodded, "Zhan Li, I tried for a long time. Before I had time to tell you, the Qin family's case came out."

Ming Shu asked: "What did Zhan Li say?"

"Zhan Li's hatred for Lu Chen is pure jealousy. From her Weibo and her usual words and deeds, it can be seen that her jealousy has been rising faster and faster since she entered the school. In March of this year, She poured the wind oil essence into Lu Chen’s black tea water, which was a temptation to prove that she had already thought of poisoning Lu Chen. On October 13, she admitted that she was learning that Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan were going to pray for the moon. Immediately following the mountain after enjoying the autumn season, it was to kill Lu Chen on the mountain-if possible, Zhao Siyan would be killed together." Yi Fei paused, "but she later defended herself, talking about Qiyue Mountain. Later, she discovered that the forest was too big. Before evening, not only did she not find Lu and Zhao, but she also lost her way in the mountains."

"Lost?" Ming Shu thought for a while, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"I think so too. Zhan Li's visit to Qiyue Mountain was completely impulsive. She has always been more inclined to poison Lu Chen and ran to Qiyue Mountain on the 13th, simply because he thought Qiyue Mountain was a murderer and a corpse. It’s a great place.” Yi Fei continued: “Zhan Li has never been to Qiyue Mountain before. I can’t talk about understanding. It’s normal for me to lose my direction in the mountains the first time I go.”

Mingshu asked, "Have she been to Haijing Temple, halfway up the mountain?"

"Not there yet." Yi Fei said, "Zhan Li said that when she was anxiously searching for her way, she heard the sound of drums coming from the mountain."

Ming Shu raised her right eyebrows, "Did she tell you that she feels that the sound of this twilight drum is long and thick and full of Zen, which made her calm down suddenly and dispelled the sinful thoughts in her heart."

Yi Fei's eyes widened, "Oh, it's really accurate."

Ming Shu said: "Otherwise she won't mention Mu Gu suddenly."

"It's roughly what you think, but there are still some discrepancies--Zhan Li didn't calm down when he heard the monk hit the bell. According to her, she was very hesitant. On the one hand, she still hoped that Lu Chen would die. I feel that this kind of self is very nasty. Moreover, there is a temple in Qiyue Mountain. Although she does not believe in gods and Buddhas, she is not willing to put herself on the charge of murder in places where there are gods and Buddhas." Yi Fei said, "So, she didn't. Going up, I was not reconciled to go down the mountain, and struggled for a long time in the same place, until it was too late, and I still hadn't made up my mind."

"Wait." Ming Shu said, "Zhan Li said that she was lost when she went up the mountain. It was the afternoon. After dark, how did she find the way down the mountain?"

"The key is here." Yi Fei said: "Zhan Li said that afterwards, she was already scared, and put the matter of killing or not killing people behind, and just wanted to hurry down the mountain, but she couldn't find the way."

"At this time someone appeared and led her down the mountain?"

"Correct!"

Ming Shu asked: "Who is this person?"

Yi Fei shook his head, "A young man who claimed to be a donkey, but Zhan Li said that there was not much light around at the time, and she did not see the man's appearance clearly."

Ming Shu whispered: "Man, my fellow traveler, I didn't see his looks clearly..."

Yi Fei said, "Do you suspect that Zhan Li is lying?"

Ming Shu said, "No, I care about the identity of this man."

Yi Fei said: "Huh?"

"The premise for Zhan Li to lie is that what she did must be concealed with a lie, for example-she was the murderer of Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan." Ming Shu said: "But Zhan Li's previous explanation is also in line with Her own logic of behavior. Another point is that Zhan Li is good at martial arts, but Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan died of sharp weapons. Zhan Li was in such a hurry up the mountain, how did he prepare the ten nails?"

Yi Fei said: "I also think that the possibility of her being a murderer is not high. On the night of the 13th, she took the 308 bus back to school. The surveillance camera captured her face. Her look and state are really not like a murderer who killed two classmates. Murderer."

Ming Shu said: "Then this man appeared very strange. Zhan Li lost his way, and there was not even a person asking for directions around, indicating that he was not walking on the road that tourists usually take. Zhan Li went up the mountain with the purpose of killing people. Of course the more remote the better. But why did that man take the same path as Zhan Li? What was his purpose? How could he just meet Zhan Li and bring Zhan Li down the mountain?"

"I understand what you mean." Yi Fei jotted it down in his notebook, "I will try Zhan Li again."

There was a moment of silence in the small meeting room.

Yi Fei said, "Fang Yuanhang has to follow me this time. He has been at Chahaijing Temple."

"I almost forgot." Ming Shu took out a stamped list and handed it to Yi Fei. "Fang Yuanhang applied to search Haijing Temple and it has been approved."

The division of labor was almost done, and Yi Fei immediately rushed to Shouquan Town with his team members. Before Ming Shu could convene other team members to discuss the case of Qin Xiong's family, he received a call from Lan Qiao.

Once the policewoman squadron of the Dongcheng sub-bureau took action, its efficiency was quite high. It has now found the takeaway who delivered meals to Qiu Min in Shouquan Town on October 14.

Ming Shu and Lan Qiao were sitting at the same table, with Shen Lan standing behind them, and the tablet on the table was playing an inquiry clip.

The takeaway said that the situation was relatively rare that day. Mr. Qiu who ordered the food did not write out the detailed delivery address, only the third lane attached to Hongshou Street, and the remarks said that he had called at the alley.

"I'm afraid of losing time. I called Mr. Qiu as soon as I arrived at Hongshu Street." The takeaway said: "After about five minutes, I saw a man wearing a peaked cap at the end of Third Lane. He said he was Qiu. Sir, I also called to verify and gave him the meal he ordered."

The team member asked: "Do you remember what Mr. Qiu looks like?"

The deliveryman remembered it for a long time, and smiled honestly, "I'm sorry, I have to meet a lot of people every day, I really can't remember it clearly. But if you have a picture of him, I might think of it when I look at it."

The team members took out Qiu Min's photos, a total of five photos, with ID photos and life photos.

The more the deliveryman looked at the expression, the more confused he was, "It doesn't look like this. It shouldn't be this person I saw. This person is too handsome and white. The person I saw is not so handsome."

After watching for a while, the delivery staff confirmed: "They are definitely not the same person! I still have a look in my eyes!"

Lan Qiao turned off the video, "Team Ming."

Ming Shu stood up and put his hands in his trouser pockets, "Someone used Qiu Min's mobile phone, takeaway platform number, and online banking to order food on the 14th, and he picked it up in person. Two possibilities-Qiu Min has been killed, this person thinks Create the illusion that Qiu Min is still alive; Qiu Min is in another place for some reason. This person helped create the illusion that Qiu Min is in Shouquan Town."

"It's all an illusion." Lan Qiao sighed, "My team members visited and touched the row on Hongshu Street. It is the most backward block in Shouquan Town. Almost all bungalows. There is no surveillance from the entrance to the end of the third lane. The delivery staff also said that they were actually reluctant to deliver the order because it was too messy. People living in Hongshou Street and 3 Alleys don’t order takeaways much.”

Mingshu asked, "Do people there have any impression of Qiu Min himself?"

"No, I said I haven't met Qiu Min." Lan Qiao said, "As for the man in the peaked cap that the takeaway saw, because he couldn't tell the specific appearance, and the portrait couldn't be done, we can only ask about it. No useful information."

"This'double' is mostly familiar to Shouquan Town, knowing where it is not easy to notice, and knowing where there is no surveillance." Ming Shu paused for a few seconds, and asked, "What else is there?"

Lan Qiao leaned back in the chair and did not immediately answer.

Ming Shu turned sideways, "What?"

"It may be that my thinking is not broad enough. I haven't figured out why Qiu Min voluntarily left." Lan Qiao said: "Before missing, Qiu Min had a very good life. By checking his work email and platform backstage For the record, we contacted his ten or so partners. The other party said that Qiu Min had already drawn up cooperation intentions with them for the remaining months of this year, and some even gave plans. October 4, which is On the day of Qiu Min's last Weibo post, he also sent a work email to his partner about the hype next month. He had no reason to leave suddenly."

Ming Shu said: "It's not that your mind is not broad enough, but that all the clues presented to us in this case prove that Qiu Min has been killed with a high probability."

Lan Qiao took a deep breath, "There are many people who have the motive to kill him."

As early as when Lan Qiao reported the disappearance to the Crime Squad, Ming Shu thought about who might be the murderer if Qiu Min was dead.

But on the other hand, if Qiu Min did take the initiative to leave to do something, he should of course be well prepared to create the illusion that he was still busy at work before his disappearance, in order to mislead the police.

In the case of Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan, the police may have been misled once.

"Qiu Min's social circle is very single. We have all contacted the people who have communicated with him recently." It was Shen Lan who spoke this time. "These people have only work relationships with Qiu Min. Qiu Min has always been in contact with him. There is no love relationship or close friends. The contact with former colleagues in the law firm has become less and less. In the past six months, it has been basically cut off. Therefore, we believe that if Qiu Min is killed, the reason should be his work. ."

Ming Shu asked, "Have you known about'Baby Shrimp'?"

Lan Qiao regretfully said: "The first thing I suspected was the operator of'Baby Shrimp'. But..."

Ming Shu's eyes moved suddenly, "Have you checked the'Baby Shrimp'?"

"I haven't had time yet." Lan Qiao said, "I know what you want to know. If we have been there, we might get some clues to the'Miemen Case'. But I'm sorry..."

Ming Shu shook his head, "Nothing to be sorry, I just ask casually. What other stores are similar to'Baby Shrimp'?"

Lan Qiao said: "A lot, I have some target suspects in my heart, but it's not easy to say for the time being."

"Okay." Ming Shu smiled, "I'm relieved when you investigate the case."

The two exchanged for a while, and Lan Qiao asked before leaving: "Why didn't you see Team Yi?"

"Are you looking for something to do with him?" Ming Shu said, "He just left and went to Shouquan Town."

Shen Lan sighed secretly.

Lan Qiao said immediately: "It's okay, just ask casually. I will come to you if I have a breakthrough here."

The second section of Longcheng Road, the old quarter of Gear Factory.

The members of the serious crime team and the criminal investigation team were visiting from house to house. Ming Shu and Xiao Yuan came to the crime scene 5-8 again, and the smell of blood still seemed to be permeating the air.

The Qin family’s "Miemen Case" should not be called the "Miemen Case". The so-called "destruction of the door" refers to the fact that none of the family survived, but although there were four people who died in 5-8, one of them was an outsider.

There is only one seedling left in the Qin family, Qin Xu.

"The suspicious part of this case is why Qin Ke went home with Yu Xiaohai." Ming Shu stood in front of the coffee table in the living room, facing the sofa where two horrible corpses had been placed, "the surrounding residents and Qin Xu Said that Qin Ke seldom went home, and Yu Xiaohai had never been here. Communication records show that Huang Hui had called Qin Ke and Qin Xu respectively that night, with Qin Ke in the front and Qin Xu in the back. It seems that now Qin Ke returned with Yu Xiaohai, but Qin Xu did not—of course, Qin Xu might be lying. But why did Huang Hui suddenly call his eldest daughter and younger son home? With Qin Ke’s usual personality, Why are you willing to come back?"

"I talked to the employees of'Baby Shrimp'." Xiao Yuan said: "They have very consistent evaluations of Qin Xiong and Huang Hui's couple-they value money very seriously, they are very stingy with their employees, but only with a pair of children. Generous. Almost all of the people working at'Baby Shrimp' are distant relatives of the two's hometowns, such as Qin Xiujuan who came to Huang Hui to find Huang Hui. But even their relatives, Qin Xiong and Huang Hui can't believe them. After the business closed every day, Lei couldn't help checking the accounts."

Ming Shu said: "The reason why Huang Hui called the two children back in an emergency may be related to money. Qin Ke never went home, but at this time came back because of a phone call. The possibility of talking about money is indeed the greatest."

"With the temperament of the Qin family, how can Huang Hui allow a stranger to enter the house while they are talking about money?" Xiao Yuan said: "Qin Xiujuan said that Huang Hui has been wary of personally checking the consumables of every dish. To the point. Logically speaking, it makes no sense for her to let people who are not relatives enter the house late at night."

Ming Shu shook his head, "It doesn't make sense. Why can the murderer subdue the three people who were 5-8 at the time? Where can TA be so capable?"

"If it is violent, the possibility is very low." Xiao Yuan turned around, "but what if the three of Huang Hui actively listened to him?"

Ming Shu frowned, "What's the reason? What does this person have to do with the Qin family?"

"Two ideas." Xiao Yuan said: "First, this person was brought back by Qin Ke. Huang Hui always spoiled Qin Ke. He didn't accept unfamiliar people coming in, but because the people were brought by Qin Ke, Huang Hui Compromise. Second, this person first came into contact with Huang Hui, and even called Qin Ke and Qin Xu home. It was the TA’s idea. Huang Hui did not call Qin Xiong. The employees said that when Qin Xiong left work, he did not call Qin Xiong. There is no difference in peacetime."

Ming Shu took a hard breath, as if sucking the smell of blood in the air into his lungs, "Killing the whole family and destroying the corpse, this is almost impossible to be a normal revenge."

At this time, there was a commotion in the corridor outside, and a team member shouted outside: "You can't go in!"

Ming Shu walked to the door and saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes rushing in.

The woman has red eyes, rough skin, disheveled hair, and a travel bag on her back, looking dusty.

Ming Shu reacted, "Are you Huang Qing?"

Huang Hui has a sister named Huang Qing. When the identities of the four victims had not been determined the day before yesterday, Ming Shu had already made people find a way to find Huang Qing.

The woman nodded her head and said she was crying, "My sister and Coco are really gone?"

The important traces in the room had been extracted, Ming Shu let Huang Qing in, held a chair, and "sit."

"Can I see them?" Huang Qing said with tears: "I haven't seen my sister for many years. I didn't expect..."

Ming Shu looked at Huang Qing.

From the perspective of clothing and mental state, Huang Qing's life is obviously not good.

It's not that the sister must help her sister when she is rich, but the huge gap between Huang Hui and Huang Qing just confirms the words of the "baby shrimp" employees-Qin Xiong is very stingy and only treats one son and one woman generously.

Huang Qing is 41 years old this year. She lives in the scholarship town under the jurisdiction of Dongye City. Her husband works outside all the year round. She does not have a fixed job. She takes care of her parents-in-law and raises her son in the town. The family has a very difficult life.

Ming Shu asked: "You said you haven't seen Huanghui for many years? Have you ever had any unpleasantness?"

Huang Qing sighed, "It's all over, I didn't hate her long ago."

Ming Shu said, "What's the matter?"

According to Huang Qing, the relationship between her and her sister has been very good since childhood. After growing up, Huang Hui went to work in the city and met the local Qin Xiong. He soon married and lived a tight life. Later, Huang Qing married himself. When married, the two families will walk around each other during the holidays.

Qin Xiong's parents were employees of the gear factory, and there was a younger brother in the family. The family of five was squeezed into this old house and had a hard time.

But before Qin Ke was born, Qin Xiong's younger brother disappeared. Qin's mother was overwhelmed with grief and could not afford to be ill. Two people were missing in the family.

When Qin Ke was more than one year old, Qin Xiong's father also passed away. This house became the small home of Qin Xiong and Huang Hui.

At that time, Dongye City began to accelerate its development, and Qin Xiong and Huang Hui went everywhere to pool money, saying that they were going to open a restaurant. Huang Qing didn't discuss with her husband and lent them all the wealth of the family.

This opened restaurant was the predecessor of "Baby Shrimp". Of course, it was not called "Baby Shrimp" at that time, it was called "Longcheng Hotel".

Qin Xiong is rude and good-looking. He is keen to show his family head in front of outsiders. He often quarrels with Huang Hui, but he has some skill in cooking.

There were few restaurants back then, how can it be compared with now. "Longcheng Hotel" gradually gained some reputation with its excellent taste, and the Qin family got rid of the poverty of the past.

With the savings, Huang Hui immediately returned the money borrowed from Huang Qing to Huang Qing with interest. At first, Huang Qing felt that her sister had borrowed and paid, and she was creditable. Later, I realized that Huang Hui did this to draw a clear line from himself.

The poor can be poor together, but when they are rich, their poor relatives are useless.

Huang Qing knew that his sister-in-law’s shop was getting more and more profitable, but he didn't think about asking Huang Hui for some benefits. The only time he asked for Huang Hui was when his son went to school.

Educational resources in the town are very poor. Huang Qing wants to send his son to the city to go to school, so he asks Huang Hui to find a relationship. Huang Hui refused on the spot, regardless of the sister's affection.

Huang Qing was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but pull out the money borrowed back then.

Huang Hui asked: "Didn't I even pay you back the money? I still owe you?"

Huang Qing felt humiliated, took his son back to his hometown, and since then broke the contact with Huang Hui.

Qin Ke likes her aunt, and occasionally makes some gifts on the phone.

“I’ve long been taken lightly. No matter what, she’s my sister. I don’t blame her.” Huang Qing said sadly, “She used to be very good. If she hadn’t been married to Qin Xiong and was influenced by Qin Xiong, she wouldn’t Become like that..."

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yuan, "Qin Xiong has a brother?"

There is no household registration information indicating that Qin Xiong has a younger brother who disappeared 21 years ago before Qin Ke was born.

What the police know is that Qin Xiong is the only child, and the house of the Gear Factory is an inheritance left to him by his parents.

Xiao Yuan said: "Remember, did Huang Hui talk to you about this brother of Qin Xiong?"

Huang Qing opened his mouth in confusion, "He...you look for him? He has been missing for so many years, he should be dead, right."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan's voice was gentle and strong, with a force that people had to listen to. "You just need to tell me what you know about him."

Huang Qing bowed his head and thought for a while, "I remember his name is Qin Ying, who is much younger than Qin Xiong. My sister said that he was a child picked up by Qin Xiong's parents from outside. But although not his own, Qin Xiong's parents treated Qin Ying. But it's better than treating Qin Xiong. What benefits are there at home? It was the first one to think of Qin Ying.

Ming Shu said: "Huang Hui is very angry with Qin Ying?"

"That kind of situation would be uncomfortable for anyone. Afterwards, Qin Ying disappeared, and my sister and Qin Xiong were relieved." Huang Hui said and began to wipe tears, "My heart aches, cocoa, who on earth will connect her? It's all hurt!"

"It turns out that Qin Xiong also has a missing brother." Ming Shu folded his arms and paced between the living room and bedroom of 5-8. "In this way, the turning point in Qin Xiong's life actually appeared after Qin Ying disappeared. Ying was picked up, without a registered permanent residence, but was loved by Qin's parents. 21 years ago, did Qin Ying disappeared or was..."

As he said, Ming Shu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan, "A family at the bottom has limited resources. Qin Ying's existence makes Qin Xiong unable to breathe. His wife is pregnant, and his child is about to be born. He is not It is impossible to attack this person who is robbing resources from his own small family."
