Madness of the Heart

Lin Jiao showed a look of surprise when he saw Xiao Yuan, not Ming Shu or Yi Fei, who had come to the Psychological Research Center.

"Xiao Ju?"

"Team Ming can't go away because of something." Xiao Yuan said, "I'll come over for him to take a look. Did Qin Xu find his problem?"

Lin Jiao led Xiao Yuan into the office, with a little regret in his eyes, "Qin Xu was probably ruined by his sister."

"Qin Ke?" Xiao Yuan stopped, "Qin Xu's current character is caused by Qin Ke?"

Lin Jiao opened the door of an office with his fingerprints, "Let's come in and talk."

Qin Xu was not in this office. The working instrument made a blunt and cold sound. On the desk were several reports full of complex values, and beside them were several very abstract paintings.

"These paintings were sent by the crime team." Lin Jiao said: "They were all found from Qin Xu's personal belongings. They were works by him five years ago, when he was 12 years old."

Xiao Yuan picked up one of them. On the right side of the screen was a huge concentric circle, drawn with a red pen, one circle around one circle. And this circle is pierced by a mess of black lines, which looks like an ugly hedgehog at first glance. On the left side of the screen is a small blue circle. Compared with the red concentric circles, the blue circle is very small, but there is a thick black line on the right side of the blue circle. All the black lines on the red concentric circles evolved from this black line.

The rest of the paintings seem to be different from this one, but they all use three colors of red, blue and black. Some have only these three colors, and some have a fluorescent green circle and a fluorescent yellow circle. There is always a black line connecting the blue circle and the red circle. The blue circle is smaller than the red circle, but every painting seems to express the same meaning. Although the blue circle is small, it can manipulate the black line and tightly bind the red circle. ring.

These paintings are all by a 12-year-old boy. What does Qin Xu want to express through these paintings?

Qin Xu was a key figure in the Qin family's **** murder. Although he insisted that he had only been to the scene and photographed his family members who died tragically, there is no evidence to prove that he was not there when the crime happened.

Prior to this, Mingshu had dispatched some of his team members to Qin Xu's elementary school, junior high school, and high school to learn about the situation. According to Qin Xu’s teachers and some of his classmates, Qin Xu has been outstanding since he was a child. This excellence is not only reflected in his grades, but also in all aspects of campus life-Qin Xu is cheerful and sunny, and always actively participates in class activities. Qin Xu also took the lead in organizing learning mutual aid groups in the class.

Qin Xu’s personality changed suddenly when he was about 12 years old. After a severe decline in his grades for a while, he went up again and went from being excellent to being excellent, but the whole person was gloomy and hardly interacted with others unless necessary. , Putting a very cold face on the teacher to the classmates, as if the whole world owed him. Now Qin Xu is 17 years old and there is no friend around him. Everyone avoids him. His classmates say he is a weird person. The teachers are also a little afraid of him, but his grades are still top, so even the head teacher doesn’t know if he can talk to him. , What should I talk about.

"The red circle represents Qin Ke, and the blue circle represents Qin Xu himself. Qin Ke is strong, while Qin Xu is weak. The other two fluorescent circles are their parents who are standing by." Xiao Yuan put down the painting, "The black line represents Some kind of abstract power, Qin Xu imagined that he was borrowing this power to punish Qin Ke."

Lin Jiao nodded, turned on the display, and pulled out another chair, "Xiao Ju, you sit down."

Xiao Yuan saw that it was Qin Xu that appeared on the display.

"He was very resistant. The hypnosis I performed on him didn't go smoothly." Lin Jiao said, "But at any rate, it can be regarded as a few words to probe some of his heart."

Before the age of 12, Qin Xu and Qin Ke had a good relationship. In Qin Xu's heart, Qin Ke is the best sister in the world—beautiful, gentle, and kind. The only drawback is that she has average grades.

Qin Xu would share any good things with Qin Ke. Qin Ke is the same.

But when Qin Xu was 12 years old, he found that his sister had gradually changed. She seldom spoke. She always ran to the Internet cafe. He was irritable and irritable. Sometimes he felt that Qin Ke was looking at himself and he could meet Qin Ke's weird eyes as soon as he turned around. .

Both Huang Hui and Qin Xiong are very busy people. They spend very little time at home. In order to save money, they do not hire a nanny at home. Most of the time, Qin Xu was alone with Qin Ke.

At this time, Qin Ke would do some "weird" things, such as putting foreign **** in front of Qin Xu.

A 12-year-old boy is not ignorant of men and women. But what shocked Qin Xu was that Qin Ke took off his clothes and pants while watching the movie, blaspheming himself in the shouts from the speakers!

Qin Ke was only 16 years old at that time!

Qin Xu was greatly impacted and was at a loss, but Qin Ke threatened him, if he told his parents, he would have found all the films.

In the eyes of everyone, Qin Ke is a good girl. How could a good girl look at this kind of thing?

Qin Xu was also in the developmental stage, and gradually changed from shocked to attracted. Every time Qin Ke watched, he would stand outside the door and follow.

But compared to the people on the screen, it was his relatives who attracted him more.

Qin Ke has become more and more dissatisfied, and the film no longer satisfies her. Not long ago, she bought a bunch of things that Qin Xu couldn't even think of.

Finally, Qin Ke beckoned to Qin Xu.

The 12-year-old Qin Xu walked over and was molested by his own sister.

This is the first time, but not the last. Qin Xu realized that this was wrong, but Qin Ke forced him and threatened him. He could not escape and was bewitched. And their parents did not notice their weirdness at all.

For countless nights, Qin Xu wanted to kill Qin Ke and then kill himself.

Those ugly paintings were painted at that time.

But no matter how hard he struggles, when Qin Ke beckons to him, he will still be attracted.

This relationship lasted until Qin Ke started to raise the "cowboy."

Qin Xu thought he was relieved, but the past influence was indelible. He changed completely, hating Qin Ke, hating himself, and hating his ignorant parents.

In his cognition, everyone is ugly and dirty, just like Qin Ke.

He bought a camera with the money Qin Xiong gave him. His greatest hobby is to capture those ugly people.

"The shadow of adolescence, especially the'sex' aspect, without timely psychological assistance, is likely to deteriorate severely and affect the whole life." Lin Jiao said: "Especially in Qin Xu's case, the injury is still It was given by his favorite sister. He himself was too young to struggle, and his parents were inaction. No one around him could help him."

After sighing, Lin Jiao said again: "Qin Ke's behavior is clearly a **** and a crime. The information sent to me by the Crime Squad also mentioned that the men Qin Ke had been with in the past two years were relatively young. . But now that the person is dead, there is no evidence for further investigation. This is what I learned from Qin Xu, and I don’t know if it will help you in investigating the case."

"Thank you." Xiao Yuan said: "Any clues appear to have a certain effect on the investigation. Even if it is not the key to solving the case, it can at least help us uncover some of the mysteries and eliminate some of the possibilities."

Lin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I didn't work in vain."

Knowing the cause of Qin Xu's current character, Ming Shu was very angry, "It turned out to be Qin Ke!"

When Qin Xu was sent to the Psychological Research Center, he originally had some judgments, but these judgments all pointed to Huang Hui and Qin Xiong. Yi Fei and others also believed that Qin Xu was strange and gloomy, and it was probably caused by his parents.

It was Qin Ke who could hurt Qin Xu, and in such a contemptible and criminal way.

After calming down, Ming Shu said: "This way, Qin Xu's motives for committing crimes are even more full. At the age of 12, he killed Qin Ke countless times in his paintings, and painted aside his parents who did not help him. Now he is 17 years old, and his hatred for his family is getting deeper and deeper, to the point where he must do something."

"The motivation is sufficient, and there are circumstantial evidence, but Qin Xu himself refused to plead guilty." Xiao Yuan said: "Qin Xu is indeed the most suspected person, but..."

"But 5-8 still has an unfamiliar footprint. If you don't find this person, you can't rush to convict Qin Xu." Ming Shu is very clear-headed, "Furthermore, according to Qin Xu's logic, assuming he was the murderer, he killed Qin Xu. The family of three is equivalent to liberation, he is probably not hiding, but showing off."

Xiao Yuan said: "Yes, even if we don't grasp Qin Ying's line now and have that footprint, this case cannot be closed hastily."

For a few seconds, the two did not speak, and each other's earpieces were filled with the other's breathing.

For a moment, Ming Shu said: "The tragedies of the Qin family can actually be traced to Qin Ying if you trace the roots to the source. Qin Xu's personality mutation was caused by being hurt by Qin Ke. What about Qin Ke? In Qin Xu's cognition. Qin Ke used to be a gentle and kind girl. Qin Ke discovered Qin Ying’s photos when she was a teenager, and later learned from her aunt Huang Qing that Qin Ying had disappeared before she was born. At the age of 16, she began to study deeply. At the time of this incident. She posted on the Internet when she was 17 years old, but she suspected that her parents killed Qin Ying before that, which was 16 years old."

Xiao Yuan said: "Parents are the murderers, and this huge shadow is on Qin Ke. Many crimes involving young people are rooted in the family. The psychological burden is difficult to resolve. Some choose extroverted violence, and some choose introverted self. Fallen. What Qin can choose is to indulge in **** and use **** to hurt his own brother."

"I suddenly had an idea." Ming Shu said: "Qin Ke's behavior is considered to be imitating her parents? She thinks that her parents killed Qin Ying, so she also hurt herself in another aspect. Little brother?"

Xiao Yuan said: "It doesn't matter whether it is right or not. We will never know what Qin Ke thinks in his heart."

Ming Shu sighed, "This is true."

Xiao Yuan glanced at the time, "Where is your side? Is there anything new?"

"Everyone in Haijing Temple is not simple. The identity of Yin Xiaofeng who has not spoken all the time has been found." Ming Shu said: "Before he went to Haijing Temple to become a monk, he was treated in a mental hospital in Liangxi City."

Liangxi City is far away from Dongye City and is a small city in the southern border province.

"Yin Xiaofeng has a mental problem?" Xiao Yuan said: "Then how did he come to Dongye City later?"

Ming Shu said: "I have asked Xu Chun to rush to Liangxi City. Yin Xiaofeng's past experience should be clear soon. However, the leader, this investigation has made me a little angry."

When Xiao Yuan heard Ming Shu call "leadership", he knew that this guy had something to report to himself, and then said warmly: "What is causing you anxious?"

"The grassroots police station is restricted by personnel, equipment and other factors. I understand that occasionally wrong cases and unjust cases and important cases cannot be detected and reported in time. This is what I understand. But Shouquan Town has gone too far. There were doubts in the past cases, which prevented investigations. Not to mention, I went to investigate the current case, and they didn’t cooperate.” Ming Shu said: “The case of Tang Yuan’s wife Zhou Tingting drowning in Yantang 27 years ago is full of doubts. Yantang is completely outside of Zhou Tingting’s usual living area, and It is very remote, why did she go there? And the family of the deceased raised a lot of questions. The police ignored them all and defined the cause of death as falling into the water on the grounds that only Zhou Tingting's footsteps were on the side of the weir pond."

Twenty-seven years ago, Shouquan Town was not under the management of Dongye City. In addition, at that time, criminal investigation methods were backward and the forensic trace detection system was incomplete. The possibility of misjudgment and even deliberate fraud was high.

"Zhou Tingting's sister Zhou Qingqing said that Zhou Tingting was killed by Tang Yuan and Liu Sui because of the so-called'adultery' between Liu Sui and Tang Yuan." Ming Shu continued: "Chu Xin's identity gave him the ability to Before coming to Haijing Temple, he found out the background of his seniors. What he found was that Liu Sui and Tang Yuan had an improper relationship when they were teaching at the second elementary school in Shouquan Town. Liu Sui is older than Tang Yuan, unmarried, and Tang Far married. Not to mention the social atmosphere at the time, even now, it is difficult for them to be accepted. But Haijing Temple on Qiyue Mountain is a place where you can escape reality."

Xiao Yuan said, "For too long, whether it was the police officer in Shouquan Town or the family of the deceased, it was actually a one-sided word. Everyone can give their own logic. The key is, Ming team, do you have evidence?"

"The key evidence is now impossible to find, but according to Liu Sui and Tang Yuan's past colleagues, they are indeed a pair of lovers and they are not tolerated by their respective families." Ming Shu said: "Liu Sui had been with the family before he became a monk. The relationship was severed, and later his parents died, and he did not come down to visit. As for Tang Yuan, in the relationship with Liu Sui, Tang Yuan is more like the weaker party, and everything is attached to Liu Sui."

Xiao Yuan said: "In your opinion, is it possible for them to kill Qiu Min?"

Ming Shu was silent for a while, "It's hard to say. The murderer who has not been sanctioned by law, and the murderer who has been sanctioned before, and then regained freedom, the probability of committing crimes in the future is much higher than that of ordinary people. If 27 years ago, Liu Sui They partnered with Tang Yuan to kill Zhou Tingting, so their chances of committing the crime this time are indeed not low. And you and Teacher Xing both think that it was two people who killed Qiu Min and the corpse? Liu Sui and Tang Yuan happened to be the same. Two people. But "Zhou Tingting was killed by Liu and Tang" is still my inference."

After speaking, Ming Shu heard other people's voices on the phone, and asked, "Xiao Ju?"

"You continue to check." Xiao Yuan said: "A team member called me, please feel free to contact me."

Just shortly after Ming Shu hung up, Fang Yuanhang rushed over with a yellow-faced woman.

"Master, this is Qian Da's ex-wife Dan Mei! She has something to tell you!"

Ming Shu looked at the woman in front of her, and guessed her purpose from her angry eyes.

"You came from the city to check on Chanda? Are you the person in charge? Do you speak usefully?" Dan Brow opened his mouth as a gunshot, and the protruding cheekbones undulated one after another.

Ming Shu said: "I don't check Qianda. I check the case of Zhou Tingting's fall into the water 27 years ago."

Light eyebrows pointedly said: "Same! What I want to reflect to you is also the murder of Zhou Tingting!"

"Be killed?" Ming Shu's tone was calm, trying to calm down Dan Mei, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I have!" Dan Mei slapped an iron box on the table with a "slap", "The things inside are evidence!"

Ming Shu opened the tin box and saw a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold pendant in it.

Gold is the most valuable, and many older families have similar gold jewelry.

Ming Shu couldn't help but think of his sister Xiao Jinlan.

Xiao Jinlan was also two years older than Xiao Yuan, but he became obsessed with gold jewelry several years ago.

One year during the Spring Festival, Ming Shu and Xiao Yuan returned to Xiao's home for the New Year. Xiao Jinlan gave him a beautifully crafted gold sign.

He still couldn't appreciate gold at that time. He felt rustic and old. "Sister, you might as well give me a pair of shoes."

"You kid, you know I want shoes." Xiao Jinlan smiled and said, "You don't have enough shoes in your cabinet? This brand is safe. You and Yuan, Jincheng, and Muting have them. Take them back. Let it go, don't dislike it."

The brand has been kept at home, together with Xiao Yuan.

"These are evidences?" Ming Shu asked lightly.

"All these jewelry were given to me by Liu Changjun!" Dan Mei said, "Do you know who Liu Changjun is?"

Ming Shu said: "I know."

Liu Changjun, Liu Sui's father, passed away a few years ago.

In terms of family circumstances, Liu Sui and Tang Yuan are very different. Liu's family is considered a relatively affluent family in Shouquan Town, and Liu Sui's job in the town's second elementary school is also found at home. Tang Yuan had worked hard from the country by himself. He had a certain job. He was introduced early and married Zhou Tingting, a music teacher at the same school.

"It was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting! Who in the town's second elementary school didn't know that Liu Sui and Tang Yuan were doing something wrong!" Dan Mei said excitedly, "It was Liu Sui who led Zhou Tingting to the pond and lied to her to solve the three people. But Tang Yuan was not there at all. There was no one else beside the weir pond, so Liu Sui directly pushed Zhou Tingting down!"

Ming Shu asked: "Do you know so clearly? Is it because your ex-husband Chanda was in charge of this case?"

Faintly nodded, "I am also guilty. I accepted a bribe from Liu Changjun. I am here to confess to you that it is okay for you to sentence me to sentence. Qian Da must be caught!"

"Let me ask a digression." Ming Shu said, "This case has been so long, why are you reporting Qianda at this time?"

"I..." Dan Mei looked embarrassed, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "When he was a policeman, he couldn't get home all day long and he didn't have a lot of money. I never disliked him, took care of him, took care of my son, and had to take care of him. His parents. But what about him? I stopped being a police officer and ran to do business and opened a restaurant. Now it’s okay, the restaurant has made so much money, so he went to find a small three and a small four and divorced me! I can’t swallow this. Sigh! He doesn't let me get better, then everyone will go to prison together!"

Faced with the gold jewelry sent by his ex-wife to the city police detective, Qian Da, who was so arrogant when we met last time, was stunned, "This...this..."

"It seems you are familiar with them." Ming Shu said.

Dan Mei's words and jewelry do not directly indicate that Qian Da took the Liu family's money and helped Liu Sui get rid of crime. To prove that these jewelry were indeed given by Liu Changjun, Dan Mei did not lie, there must be a complicated process. Only in terms of Tan Mei's hatred for Qian Da, she may frame Qian Da.

But Qian Da's abnormal reaction at this time has been very telling.

"It was Liu Sui who pushed Zhou Tingting into the water at the weir pond 27 years ago, right?" Ming Shu said sharply, "When you were investigating on the spot, you didn't just find the footprints of Zhou Tingting alone, didn't you?"

Qian Da shivered and spoke incoherently.

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

Xiao Yuan interrupted the call with Ming Shu because a team member hurried over and said that Tang Yuan wanted to see the person in charge of the serious crime team.

Tang Yuan is less than 50 years old this year, but he looks like he is 60 or 70 years old. Although life in the mountains is hard, but no matter how hard it is, it doesn’t deserve it.

He is ashamed.

"Are you the person in charge of the serious crime team?" Tang Yuan stared at Xiao Yuan with godless eyes, and his voice trembled a little.

"I am." Xiao Yuan said, "what do you want to tell me?"

"I'm sorry, Tingting, I have been hiding this for almost 30 years, and there is no day to be happy." Tang Yuan lowered his eyelids and said, "I confessed to the Buddha at Haijing Temple and confessed day and night, but I still can't change Liu Suihui and me. The fact that my wife died. I'm tired, I don't want to keep it anymore."

What Tang Yuan said is almost the same as Ming Shu's inference and what he learned from Dan Mei and Qian Da.

Thirty years ago, Tang Yuan first met Zhou Tingting, but after getting married he found out that he didn't like women. The appearance of Liu Sui, a Chinese teacher at the same school, made Tang Yuan finally realize the passion of life.

The relationship between the two was very secret at first, and no one knew it, but the paper couldn't keep the fire, and Zhou Tingting gradually discovered the abnormality.

Tang Yuan was a weak and traditional person in his bones. He felt guilty for the derailment in the marriage. After Zhou Tingting's cries, he finally decided to break with Liu Sui.

However, Liu Sui said that he had left his job and had cut off his relationship with his family. All retreats were cut off, and he just wanted to be with him.

Tang Yuan was in a dilemma. Liu Sui assured him that he could solve it.

Soon, Tang Yuan learned that Liu Sui became a monk.

He thought that Liu Sui had given up this relationship, so he tried to let it go and run a small family with Zhou Tingting.

But two months later, Zhou Tingting died in the weir pond.

The police said that Zhou Tingting fell into the water, but he knew better than anyone that it was Liu Sui who killed Zhou Tingting.

After taking care of Zhou Tingting's funeral, Tang Yuan also became a monk, spending day and night with Liu Sui in Haijing Temple.

But before the Buddha, they have all become demons.

"I'm sorry Liu Sui, but it was him, sorry me first." In the end, Tang Yuan said to Xiao Yu'an like this.

Knowing that Tang Yuan had confessed himself, Liu Sui was not surprised, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just him who is tired, I'm also tired. What's the use of practicing Buddha? Even if a murderer has cultivated a Buddha for a lifetime, isn't he a murderer? Zhou Tingting was pushed down the weir pond by me, and it has nothing to do with Tang Yuan. He is at best unreported, so don't embarrass him."

After a moment of silence, Liu Sui suddenly raised his head, his eyes clear, "But this is the case related to the two of us. The case on Qiyue Mountain has nothing to do with us, and the disappearance of Master Jingchen has nothing to do with us."

Liangxi City.

Xu Chun left the mental hospital where Yin Xiaofeng had been treated and immediately called Ming Shu.

Jiulin Psychological Clinic.

The phone on the table buzzed and vibrated for a long time, but was not picked up.

The passing assistant reminded softly, "Ms. Luo?"

Only then did Luo Yi come back to his senses, retracted his gaze from the yellow ginkgo leaf outside the window, smiled at the assistant, and picked up the phone.
