Madness of the Heart

Chapter 94: For good (14)

Dongcheng Branch, Women's Police Squadron.

Hong Chuanfei sat on the interrogation chair in a weird posture, with his head buried very low, but his eyes stared upwards as if about to stick out, and his gloomy eyes shot out from the tousled greasy forehead.

"Qiu Min is dead." He laughed, his lips twitched, "I killed it!"

Lan Qiao stared at the crazy man calmly.

Few suspects would admit that they had killed someone so easily. They would usually resist the sophistry until the evidence was as strong as a mountain, and they would also talk about their "forced" and "innocent".

Lan Qiao has not seen people like Hong Chuanfei. There are real murderers and spoilers who deliberately disturb the judgment of the police.

"When was it killed?" Lan Qiao asked, "How was it killed?"

Hong Chuanfei slowly raised his head, raising it extremely high-a sharp contrast with the immersed head just now.

He leaned back in the chair and said arrogantly: "Guess?"

Lan Qiao remained unmoved, "I think you have a desire to tell, why do you want to kill Qiu Min first, and then I will guess how you killed him."

Hong Chuanfei's sparse eyebrows were raised high, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "He's damned!"

"Yeah." Lan Qiao actually agreed and nodded, "'Qiushan Sleepy' collects money to recommend shops to fans, and fries up one restaurant after another, one attraction after another. Not to mention the attractions, let's talk about the catering industry. Now The competition in the catering industry is extremely fierce, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s “you die or live”. The cakes are just that big. There are countless fans of “Qiushan Sleeping”, and they have a big influence. They collect money and do things, and they mess up the water at once. Some cake scraps can still be picked up, and now even the cake scraps have been robbed by those shops who stuffed money for'Qiu Shan Sleepless'."

Having said this, Lan Qiao's voice sank slightly, "It is like killing a parent. Right?"

"I'm pooh!" Hong Chuanfei's emotions suddenly erupted, and his fists hit the interrogation table heavily.

The police officer on the side almost rushed over, but was stopped by Lan Qiao halfway.

"Am I wrong?" Lan Qiao said, "Isn't this why you want Qiu Min to die?"

"He can collect money. He already makes money by cooperating with merchants. I never said that he can't collect money!" Hong Chuanfei gritted his teeth, his exposed arm has burst into bulging veins.

"Oh?" Lan Qiao said: "Since you think it is not a problem for him to collect money for promotion and undermine fair competition in the catering industry, why do you still..."

The word "return" dragged on for a long time. Just when the interrogation room was about to quiet down, Hong Chuanfei said: "Someone can get so much money and are willing to spend so much money to ask Qiu Min for commercial promotion. What's the problem with the money? It was originally a part of competition. There is no difference between giving Qiu Min money and buying promotion spots on review platforms and takeaway platforms! Qiu Min charges too high, I can't afford him to make videos for me, I admit it!"

Lan Qiao asked: "Then what you don't recognize?"

"Why does he promote to those who have not paid for the cooperation?" Hong Chuanfei shouted loudly: "There are so many small shops and stalls in Dongye City, which one is not difficult? He can decide a shop based on his own preferences. Life and death?"

"This..." Shen Lan frowned, feeling incomprehensible.

She originally thought-Hong Chuanfei hated Qiu Min, because Qiu Min has too many fans and too much influence. Just making a video can bring a restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy back to life. Hong Chuanfei hates Qiu Min for destroying the fairness of the industry, and all the benefits are robbed by those who pay for promotion. Rich stores buy promotion and make more money. Stores without money cannot afford promotion and keep losing customers. The source, finally closed, this is indeed a powerless cycle.

But what Hong Chuanfei means now is that he does not hate Qiu Min for advertising to those shops that pay, but only hates Qiu Min for advertising to those shops that have not paid.

What kind of psychology is this?

In Qiu Min's monthly videos, part is commercial cooperation and part is purely free recommendation. Qiu Min is using his popularity to help shops that are not yet known to the public. How come to Hong Chuanfei's place, he has become wicked, and he must be killed and hurry up?

Hong Chuanfei's eyes were blood red, and his voice trembled with anger, "He has such a great influence. Didn't he know that if he recommends a store, the popularity of that store will skyrocket, and the popularity of the next shop will plummet? He knows! He knows! He! What he enjoys is that process! He has more than one million fans, and fans have long praised him as a god! He is aloof, just order a shop, and that shop will become a big one! He is the most vicious and **** thing! My' Is there any difference between "Hong Lu Cai" and the opposite "Li Feichang"? No! Then why did he choose "Li Feichang" and not me?"

The small interrogation room was filled with this rage. Lan Qiao looked at him for a moment. Although his face was still completely calm, his heart was touched.

It was not because he agreed with Hong Chuanfei, but because he spied the hearts of the people.

Thousands of unknown small restaurants in Dongye City are probably looking forward to the "Qiushan Sleeping" video one day, and they are envious and jealous of the restaurants that are "Qiushan Sleeping". Eventually, this jealousy will evolve into hatred for "Qiu Shan sleepless".

Hong Chuanfei believes that Qiu Min's fee-based promotion is correct, because whoever promotes is determined by the money, and whoever gives the money in place will gain popularity and make money.

Money is a foothold.

In addition to commercial promotion, Qiu Min also made free recommendations, and the foothold of money disappeared. Which store Qiu Min went to and which store to "Amway" when he came back was only determined by Qiu Min's preferences.

Therefore, Hong Chuanfei, there are many people like Hong Chuanfei who feel injustice and anger.

People are always pursuing fairness and justice. They are also human beings. Why can Qiu Min's so-called "likes" determine the life and death of others?

Because Qiu Min has many fans and great influence, his "likes" are more valuable than others' "likes"!

The more fans you have, the greater the right to speak. The increase in the right to speak means the increase in social responsibility, but in today's era of the Internet, few Internet celebrities will realize this.

Contradictions have spawned.

People like Hong Chuanfei insisted on fairness, but in fact they just hated that the benefits did not fall on them.

Don't suffer from lack, but suffer from unevenness.

Lan Qiao sighed and stared at Hong Chuanfei, "Have you really killed Qiu Min?"

Hong Chuanfei was still caught in an extremely excited mood, panting heavily, hysterically: "Why is it'Li Feichang', not me? Am I worse than'Li Feichang'? This is the shop my dad gave me and Qiu Min didn't go. Before'Li Feichang', there were not as many guests of'Li Feichang' than my home. As soon as Qiu Min's video was posted, all my guests ran to'Li Feichang'! He praised his'Li Feichang' so much that he was praised by himself. , Everyone just followed the praise, why are you so follow the trend! After the praise is not enough, but also slammed the surrounding shops, saying that the sum of the shops on Huyong Street is not as good as'Li Feichang'! This is really a disaster for me!"

The interrogation table was sprinkled with a spit of stars.

In human nature, competition is a vital part. There is an old saying among the people that women are jealous. In fact, it is not only women who are jealous, men are the same.

If you put yourself in Hong Chuanfei's perspective, probably no one will not be angry, jealous, or lament the injustice of fate.

Ironically, this so-called injustice is not caused by heaven, but only by the preferences of an Internet celebrity.

Lan Qiao has a delicate mind and has no lack of sensibility in his character, but in the face of a case, sensibility must give way to reason.

Her eyes were sharp, like a sword of evil, "Answer me, have you really killed Qiu Min?"

Hong Chuanfei breathed out the bad breath he had accumulated for a long time, and then fell down on the interrogation chair like a deflated rubber pillar, "I, I..."

Lan Qiao gave him time.

"Of course I have killed him!" For a moment, Hong Chuanfei made a strong voice, but his eyes were obviously dodging. "For people like him, I will not kill him. Believe it or not, there are countless people who want to kill him!"

"I believe it." Lan Qiao said: "'Li Feichang' is the least popular among all the restaurants recommended by Qiu Min free of charge. In other words, near those hotter restaurants, there are people who are more violent than you. ."

Hong Chuanfei opened his mouth a few times and smiled bitterly, "So he must die!"

"I have chatted with you so much, should you chat with me for a while?" Lan Qiao lifted his chin slightly, "In what way did you kill Qiu Min?"

Hong Chuanfei's throat twitched a few times before he said for a long time: "How can I kill him? I tricked him out of his house and took him to a desolate place. After a few strokes, he...he died."

Lan Qiao said: "So easy?"

Hong Chuanfei lowered his eyelids, "Ah, it's that easy!"

After half a minute, Lan Qiao said sharply: "Lie!"

Hong Chuanfei shook his shoulder and subconsciously said: "I'm telling the truth!"

Lan Qiao said: "You hate Qiu Min so much and think he deserves to die. To you, killing Qiu Min is a great achievement. You have already pleaded guilty, so based on your personality and behavioral logic, shouldn't you show off so much? How to kill him?"

Hong Chuanfei opened his eyes wide.

"But your words are not clear." Lan Qiao knocked on the table, "Because you can't tell, you don't know what the process is like, you didn't kill Qiu Min at all!"

Hong Chuanfei almost stood up, "Me!"

"What the **** did you do?" Lan Qiao said sternly, "Where is Qiu Min now!"

"I..." Hong Chuanfei was completely suppressed by Lan Qiao's aura, from the initial arrogance to panic, a little incoherent, "I wanted to kill him, but I later, later, I can't do it."

Lan Qiao said, "On October 4th, Qiu Min was taken away by you?"

Hong Chuanfei confessed that in mid-September, he had confirmed the real name and address of the other party from the information posted on the Internet by "Qiu Shan Sleeping", and learned that Qiu Min lives with his father, and his father is currently in his hometown.

This time when Qiu Min lived alone was the best time to start.

Hong Chuanfei knew that he didn't have the ability to compete with the police, and knew that once he did it, he would be caught. But after struggling again and again, he still couldn't swallow this breath. He planned to kill Qiu Min and go to the police station to surrender. He died and Qiu Min didn't want to live.

Before doing this, Hong Chuanfei went to Qiu Min’s home to step on a spot every day. He was familiar with the surrounding situation and learned that municipal construction was going on in the west of the "Xiu? Paradise" community. It was very inconvenient to enter and exit the community from the west gate. Through the back streets and alleys.

There are no cars in the alleys, only tricycles and motorcycles can barely pass through.

Hong Chuanfei believes that this is an opportunity God has given him.

Before October 4th, Hong Chuanfei waited in the alley several times, but although he waited until Qiu Min, he had no chance to start because there were others in the alley.

On the 4th, Qiu Min appeared again, this time there was no one else around.

After Hong Chuanfei trailed for a while, he saw the timing and flicked out the knife he had prepared. He flew forward and suppressed Qiu Min from the side and back, and the knife hit Qiu Min's throat.

Qiu Min struggled, but Hong Chuanfei tightly covered his mouth and nose.

"You dare to shout, I will kill you now!" Hong Chuanfei said fiercely.

In terms of physical strength, Qiu Min is not Hong Chuanfei's opponent. The most important thing is that Hong Chuanfei has a knife, and this knife has torn a blood line on Qiu Min's neck.

Qiu Min trembled violently, and he didn't dare to resist.

Hong Chuanfei immediately took out the pre-prepared drug, fainted Qiu Min, dragged Qiu Min on the tricycle he used to buy vegetables, neatly tied Qiu Min firmly, covered it with a tarp, and drove out of the alley.

Hong Chuanfei was born and raised in Dongye City, and has long been familiar with every street and alley in Xicheng District.

There is a mountain to the south of Xicheng District. It has no name. Old Dongye people call it Yatou Mountain. There is a long-abandoned arsenal in the mountains. It was built by the troops decades ago, and no one is going there anymore.

Hong Chuanfei intends to eliminate Qiu Min there.

The road went smoothly, but when he got there, Hong Chuanfei hesitated.

The arsenal has long been out of munitions, and there are some abandoned steel bars everywhere. The light of the emergency light can only disperse a small piece of darkness. The steel bars are amplified and distorted by the light in the shadow, like a hideous ghost.

The drug was too strong, Qiu Min did not wake up, lying on the cold ground, like a poor worm letting ghosts tear.

Hong Chuanfei swallowed, his hand holding the knife was already sweaty.

With a single cut and a slash in the neck, Qiu Min's life can be endured with just one knife. However, Hong Chuanfei kept on mentally building himself, constantly encouraged himself, and even chanted "You have done a gangster, you deserve to die", but he swung it slowly. Not under the arm.

After all, not everyone has the "talent" to kill.

Ordinary people will talk about "I killed you" and want to kill someone because of big or small things, but there are very few who really do it.

Otherwise, the society will be messed up long ago.

With a "clang", the knife fell to the ground, and Hong Chuanfei was annoyed and nervous. He didn't know what to do next, so he dragged Qiu Min to the edge of a steel frame and tied it firmly to the steel bar.

"I can't do anything, but I can torture you!" Hong Chuanfei hit Qiu Min's face with a few punches before waking Qiu Min awake.

Qiu Min was terrified and cried out for help.

Hong Chuanfei immediately slapped again.

The slap was slapped too hard, Qiu Min's head hit the steel bar, as if dumbfounded.

Hong Chuanfei stood up and kept kicking Qiu Min, kicking and cursing: "Do you know that you are wrong? You hypocritical villain! Isn't it that you have millions of fans? He just thinks of himself as a god! Does it feel good to be beaten? Ah? Isn't you quite capable, a video can make a store popular, you let your fans and those who are popular with you come to rescue you! Hahahaha!"

Finally enough anger, Hong Chuanfei spit on Qiu Min's face.

At that time, Qiu Min had been beaten out of consciousness.

On the one hand, Hong Chuanfei felt that it was enough, and on the other hand, he felt that it was not enough, and if Qiu Min were left like this, he would definitely be arrested by the police. Anyway, it's over, why not let Qiu Min die?

Hong Chuanfei can't directly use the knife.

After thinking about it, Hong Chuanfei tied Qiu Min more securely, beat him a few more times, and then drove away.

In the last few beatings, Qiu Min suddenly opened his mouth and bit Hong Chuanfei's arm hard, tearing a piece of meat off.

"My thought at the time was, I want to kill Qiu Min, my **** must kill him!" Hong Chuanfei's voice splashed in the interrogation room, "I can't stab him, but I can starve him to death! Yes, I You can starve him to death! No one is going to that mountain at all. Even if they do, they won’t go in the direction of the arsenal. Qiu, Qiu Min must be dead by now!"

The female police squadron hurried to Girl Mountain, but the arsenal was empty.

The trace examiner extracted blood and hair with hair follicles on the ground, and compared them with the DNA samples in Qiu Min's home and Qiu Guoying's DNA information, confirming that they belonged to Qiu Min. There was also a piece of twine used by Hong Chuanfei to tie Qiu Min.

It was identified that the twine was boiled by fire.

"Has the complete footprint been extracted?" Lan Qiao asked.

The trace inspector shook his head regretfully, "The footprints on the scene have been destroyed, and even Hong Chuanfei's footprints cannot be extracted."

Lan Qiao walked out of the arsenal and carefully looked at the muddy ground in front of him.

If Hong Chuanfei did not lie, there are two possibilities. One is that Qiu Min burned the twine with fire and escaped. The other is that after Hong Chuanfei left, a mysterious person appeared and took Qiu Min away.

First, according to Hong Chuanfei’s statement, Qiu Min was very tightly tied up, and there was no way to get out alone, and if he did get out, why didn’t he go home, why did he want to remove the traces on the ground, was he doing something? Such as revenge to Hong Chuanfei?

It doesn't make sense logically.

Second, why did the mysterious person know that Qiu Min was in the girl mountain, and why did he take Qiu Min away? Was Qiu Min alive or dead when he was taken away?

On October 14, Qiu Min's mobile phone was used in Shouquan Town. The one who ordered the takeaway was the one who took Qiu Min away from the arsenal?

Inferring from the clues available, the latter possibility is obviously greater than the former.

The man was able to remove the traces from the arsenal, but to take Qiu Min away, it would be difficult to erase all traces from wherever he passed.

However, a while ago, the temperature dropped and the rain had washed away all traces in the soil.

The rare clue was suddenly broken, Lan Qiao took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn.

On the premise that Hong Chuanfei didn't lie, this is no longer a disappearance case. What is the purpose of taking Qiu Min away, and why did he appear in Shouquan Town?

Qiu Min is not only hated by stores like Hong Chuanfei, but also "worried" by others?

Lan Qiao closed his eyes, a rare feeling that he couldn't catch the rein.

Go back and think, Hong Chuanfei lied, then...

It's not right. Where is the profit point of Hong Chuanfei's lying?

No.

If Hong Chuanfei hopes to get rid of crime by lying, then in the current situation where the police have insufficient clues, Hong Chuanfei does not need to account for the robbery of Qiu Min to Yatou Mountain on the 4th.

The most likely thing now is that someone took Qiu Min away after Hong Chuanfei left.

"Qiao team." Shen Lan came out of the arsenal. "What should we do next?"

Lan Qiao thought for a long time and sighed, "I'm going to communicate with the Ming team."

On the third section of Longcheng Road, the door of "Baby Shrimp" was closed tightly. Looking in from the glass wall, the time in the shop seemed to freeze suddenly—the leftovers on the table were uncleaned, flies were flying around, and some chairs fell. On the ground, the dishes that had not been moved into the kitchen in the future were rotten. Some live shrimps and live fish popped out of the water tank, some were still struggling, and some were no longer moving.

"Baby Shrimp" used to be the name card of Longcheng Road. In the recent summer, it was still the most popular place on this street.

Almost all people who live on Longcheng Road have eaten with "Baby Shrimp" and spoke to the boss's wife. Even if they don't know their names, they know what they look like.

Now both Qin Xiong and Huang Hui are dead, and their deaths are so terrible. They were killed together with their daughter and prospective son-in-law. The gossip spread all along the road. People were both afraid and excited talking about the Qin family. Speaking of business, talking about the eldest daughter who is not doing business, and the young son with excellent grades but weird personality, the topic gets farther and farther, and even when it comes to Qin’s parents who have passed away, all of them seem to have become detectives. I can't wait to immediately analyze who the Qin family has feuded with.

These gossips can indeed help the police, and the breakthrough point in many cases is the "chat" that came out during the process.

Ming Shu personally guarded Longcheng Road, directed visits and monitored searches.

On the afternoon of the incident, Huang Hui was caught twice by public surveillance, and his expression seemed a little nervous. At 10:58 in the evening, Qin Ke and Yu Xiaohai appeared near the old quarter of the Gear Factory. The clothes on Qin Ke were the same as when he was killed. Yu Xiaohai wore a small camel coat and cropped denim pants. The two were walking in a hurry, and there were no strangers around.

“Only Yu Xiaohai had his clothes taken off, and there were no such clothes on the scene.” Ming Shu said: “In previous cases, if the murderer cut off the victim’s organs, or any part of the body, he would often say ' He took it away in the form of trophies. But Huang Hui’s body fragments were scattered all over the place, and the murderer did not take any fragments, but took away Yu Xiaohai’s clothes. What kind of psychology is this? On Yu Xiaohai's clothes, is there something that reveals the murderer's information? Blood? Or something else?"

At this time, he was staying in a room temporarily prepared by the police station on Longcheng Road, which was far less of an "outpost" than the office of the crime squad.

Xiao Yuan supported Ming Shu's chair with one hand, "This time the scene is very messy and it is difficult to make a clear logical connection. Maybe the murderer deliberately did it."

Ming Shu turned around, "Doesn't it follow the case of Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan?"

Xiao Yuan lowered his head, "Is the idiom'in the same line" inappropriate for this purpose?"

"Really?" Ming Shu thought for a while, "I didn't get good grades in Chinese when I was studying. I can say that idioms are already pretty good. Don't be arrogant."

Xiao Yuan pressed the top of Mingshu's head with his palm, and said warmly, "This is all called'kong'?"

Ming Shu shook his head, "If you go down the bar again, you will be a good bargain! Even Fang Yuanhang can't use it!"

After a few chattering words, Xiao Yuan picked up Ming Shu's coat and said, "Go to Qin Ke's house and have a look."

Ming Shu knows, "Qin Ying used to live in 5-8, but 5-8 did not have any trace of Qin Ying. Qin Xiong and his wife completely wiped out his existence. Qin Xu didn't even know that he had such a Uncle. But according to Huang Qing's opinion, Qin Ke has a good relationship with her, and Qin Ke may have learned of Qin Ying's existence while getting along with her."

"Qin Xu and Qin Ke are all different from normal people of the same age, but the Qin family is not a strange family on the surface. What caused their current character?" Xiao Yuan said: "Qin Xu, if Qin Ke is very young, When I knew something, then her family might have a key clue."
