Madness of the Heart

After all, he is a person who has practiced Buddhism for dozens of years. After Hu Chengyi came to the serious crime team, he was not as nervous as many old people who came into contact with criminal police for the first time. His brows and eyes were very indifferent.

Xiao Yu'an invited him to the lounge, made a pot of tea, and asked about the details of Mingshu's negligence in a hurry. Hu Chengyi was very cooperative, and described carefully the compassionate and tolerant Master Peeping Chen before he went down the mountain in his memory, and reminded him He said a few more words when talking about the young man who had been rescued by Yuchen, "That child is very poor. He fell off the cliff and almost died. I can take the child to the hospital in the town, but that child is actually a 'black household'."

"'Heihu'?" Xiao Yu'an asked, "How old is the child? What year did you fall off the cliff?"

Hu Chengyi thought for a while, "It was about 16 years old, which year... 20 years ago, or 21 years ago, I really can't remember."

Qin Xiong's missing younger brother, Qin Ying, disappeared in the year Qin Ke was born, that is, 21 years ago.

16 years old, "black household", these two points are also suitable.

Xiao Yu'an asked again: "What is the reason for falling off the cliff?"

Hu Chengyi said: "I guess someone pushed him down."

"Guess?" Xiao Yu'an said, "He didn't tell you clearly?"

"He didn't say it." Hu Chengyi sighed, "We are most familiar with the mountain. No one will go up that cliff. I went to see it. There are many stampedes nearby, and it doesn't look like it was stepped on by one person. He fell off the cliff, and he was out of breath at the time, so why did he lie there for more than a day during the battle."

Xiao Yu'an said, "What's his name? Didn't he stay in Haijing Temple anymore?"

"There is an 'ying' in his name, the hero's 'ying'." Hu Chengyi said: "As for the last name, he didn't want to say it, and we didn't force him to say it."

Ying, Qin Ying?

If you don't want to say your surname, is it because you are disheartened and want to sever your relationship with the Qin family?

Because the person who pushed him off the cliff was Qin Xiong?

Xiao Yu'an thought for a while, and then said: "The matter of him being a 'black household', how did you deal with it later?"

"Nothing happened." Hu Chengyi said, "As soon as the hospital saw that we were monks, they gave the green light to hospitalize the child. I think about it, he stayed in the hospital for about two months, and he stayed with us after he was discharged from the hospital." Life."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Didn't register at the police station?"

Hu Chengyi smiled wryly, "In those days, we didn't register. He was a child, so what kind of registration is he?"

"How long has he been in Haijing Temple?" Xiao Yu'an asked, "Did anything happen during that time?"

Hu Chengyi said, "What do you mean?"

"For example, he went down the mountain to find someone, or someone went up the mountain to find him."

"He never went down the mountain, but I remember that outsiders did come."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Who is it?"

"I don't know who it is." Hu Chengyi shook his head, "At that time, few people came to the mountain, almost no pilgrims. Occasionally, monks from other temples came to ask for alms. That person was not a pilgrim, a monk, or a monk. , came and asked if we had seen a boy who was about 16 years old, so I remembered him."

If Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong, then this strange visitor is probably Qin Xiong.

Xiao Yu'an asked, "How do you answer?"

Hu Chengyi smiled, "The child told Xiaochen early in the morning that anyone who came to look for him would say that he didn't know or had never seen him. In fact, he didn't do anything. Even if he didn't confess, Xiaochen would not take him away." Inform suspicious people of his existence. Peeping Chen asked him if he would like to stay in the temple to practice Buddhism, but he refused, and left after he fully recovered.”

Xiao Yu'an said, "When is it roughly?"

"Half a year later." Hu Chengyi said, "I never saw him again after that, and Xiaochen never mentioned him again."

Xiao Yu'an asked: "Do you still remember his appearance?"

Hu Chengyi closed his eyes, recalled for a long time, and said regretfully: "I can't remember clearly."

Xiao Yu'an called up the photo that Qin Ke hid in the photo frame from his mobile phone - this is the only photo of Qin Ying that the police have so far.

Handing the photo to Hu Chengyi, Xiao Yuan said, "Is that him?"

Hu Chengyi took the phone and looked at it for a long time, "Like it, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it."

Xiao Yu'an brought up the photos of Qin Xiong when he was young, "What about this one? Do you have any impression?"

Hu Chengyi looked at it for a longer time this time, "I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where it is."

Xiao Yuan said: "Think about it again, does this look like the person who went up the mountain and asked you, 'Have you ever seen a 16-year-old boy'?"

Hu Chengyi's slack eyelids suddenly stretched, and he said after a long while, "I'm sorry, my brain is useless."

"It's okay." Xiao Yu'an put away the photo, did not force Hu Chengyi to question, and smiled gently, "You have provided us with very important clues."

"Really?" Hu Chengyi sighed softly, nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

After Hu Chengyi was sent away, Xiao Yu stood quietly in front of the window.

The 16-year-old boy described by Hu Chengyi is probably Qin Ying.

It turned out that Qin Ying's so-called "disappearance" was pushed off the cliff of Qiyue Mountain.

Hu Chengyi can no longer remember the appearance of the person who went up the mountain to look for Qin Ying. question.

The truth is gradually emerging from fragmented clues——

21 years ago, Huang Hui was pregnant, and there were too many people in the lower-class family, and one more person would have more mouths. Qin Xiong endured Qin Ying, a younger brother with an unknown origin, for many years, and finally became evil when his child was about to be born. He could allow Qin Ying to steal what belonged to him, but he could not allow Qin Ying to steal what belonged to his wife and children.

Qin Ying is still young and underage, so she has no defense against her family.Qin Xiong used some reason—for example, to climb the mountain with his elder brother, or accompany his elder brother to a temple in the mountain to pray for the unborn child—to trick Qin Ying into Qiyue Mountain. cliff.

There was no movement under the cliff for a long time. From Qin Xiong's point of view, Qin Ying had either broken his neck and died on the spot, or was seriously injured and unable to save himself.

He chose this mountain because it is almost uninhabited, and there is only a monastery on the mountainside.

The mountain was so big, those monks would not patrol the mountain, let alone discover Qin Ying under the cliff by such a coincidence.

If no one found out, even if Qin Ying didn't die immediately, he wouldn't be able to survive.

Qin Xiong may have considered going down to the bottom of the cliff to have a look in person. If Qin Ying is dead, that would be great. If Qin Ying still has breath, he has other ways to kill Qin Ying, and then kill Qin Ying on the spot. Bury it to avoid future troubles.

But he dared not.

That's a real person.

It was imperative to get rid of Qin Ying.For the sake of his small family and the child who is about to be born, he wished that Qin Ying would die immediately, but he did not dare to look at Qin Ying's body.

So, after wandering for a long time, Qin Xiong chose to leave.

Qin Ying disappeared, and the Qin family was gloomy.

Qin Anqiang and Bai Hong probably knew that the elder son was responsible for the disappearance of the youngest son, so they dared not call the police, or even ask their neighbors to help find them.

Qin Xiong later returned to Qiyue Mountain, which showed that he was still worried that Qin Ying was not dead.

And Qin Ying did survive.

Qin Ying left Haijing Temple more than half a year after being rescued. Judging from the age of about 16 at the time, she should be 37 now.

Hu Chengying didn't know where Qin Ying went after going down the mountain, but what was certain was that Qin Ying never returned to Haijing Temple.

Was it Qin Ying who came back from somewhere and killed everyone in the Qin family except Qin Xu?

Letter province, bright county.

Mingshu slammed the car door and looked up at the low commercial building in front of him.

Mingming County is under the jurisdiction of Luocheng, and it is far away from Fucheng, Mou Haiyuan's hometown.After careful interviews, the serious crime team finally confirmed that Li Feihe, the nanny who had worked in Mou's family for seven years, is currently residing in Mingming County.

The commercial houses in the small county are all built low, and there is no elevator inside. Mingshu walked up the stairs and knocked on the door of 4-1.

The one who opened the door was a little boy, who raised his head curiously: "Uncle, who are you looking for?"

An old woman in her sixties came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and said vigilantly, "Weiwei, why did you just open the door for someone?"

Mingshu directly showed his ID, "Are you Li Feihe?"

The old woman was surprised at first, then panicked: "Did something happen to Xiaocheng?"

Mingshu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with your son, I came to you because I want to know about the affairs of Mou Haiyuan's family."

Li Feihe's eyes widened, and he said after a while: "It's not that something happened to Xiaocheng, so come in."

After entering the room, Mingshu looked around.The location and decoration of this house are not bad for Mingming County. Li Feihe should be living a good life now.

Li Feihe was a little embarrassed, "I haven't worked in the Mou family for a long time, and I don't know much about their family's affairs."

Mingshu said: "Don't be nervous, I'll ask you a few questions, how much do you know, just answer truthfully."

Li Feihe nodded.

Mingshu asked: "Did Mou Haiyuan hire you to take care of his parents?"

Li Feihe said: "Yes. My son and daughter were all working in Fucheng at the time. I was free, so I hung up at the housekeeping company to find work. Mr. Mou saw that I was agile and had a good reputation, so he let me work at his house."

Mingshu asked: "Has he asked you anything?"

"A request?" Li Feihe thought for a while, "It means being careful and patient with the elderly."

"Mou Haiyuan never visits his parents?"

"This……"

Mingshu lightly tapped his index finger on the table, a small gesture, but implied power.

Li Feihe hesitated and said, "Mr. Mou actually..."

Mingshu looked into Li Feihe's eyes, and said slowly: "You have taken care of Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua for seven years, and you have been together day and night. Whether this family is a real family or not, you have already figured it out, right?"

Li Feihe's face changed slightly, and he nodded after half a minute.

"You have a pair of children, and you will take care of your grandson. Your children will never stop visiting you for a long time." Mingshu said, "This is how a normal family gets along. Same, unlike Mou Haiyuan's parents, more like being hired by Mou Haiyuan, right?"

After a long silence, Li Feihe sighed, "They, they are indeed not Mr. Mou's parents. But I don't know what to say about this matter."

Mingshu didn't urge, and waited for Li Feihe's next words.

"At first, I just felt that something was wrong, and I didn't think about it." Li Feihe held on to the apron tightly, "Before I went to work in the Mou family, I also worked in other families. In those days, those who could afford a nanny, The family is quite rich, similar to the Mou family. But no matter how rich the family is, the family is happy, at least the parents will not be afraid of their children. The Mou family... I haven’t seen Mr. Mou come back a few times. Every time he comes back, Mou Qin Zhi and He Yinghua are very restrained, as if returning home is not a son, but a master. And they are very different from the old people in rich families I met before, they don’t communicate with neighbors, they hardly go out, and they have no culture.”

"Later, I stayed at Mou's house for a long time, and became more and more familiar with He Yinghua, and often chatted with her. She treated me as one of my own, and then told me one thing." Li Feihe swallowed, "She said, She and Mou Qinzhi are not Mr. Mou's parents at all."

Mingshu asked: "Then do you know their real identities?"

Li Feihe said: "I know, they are from a small city in the south, they live in the countryside, and they signed an agreement with Mr. Mou to act as parents for Mr. Mou."

"How did Mou Haiyuan find them?" Mingshu asked, "Where are Mou Haiyuan's own parents?"

Li Feihe shook his head, "I don't know about these things. Mou Qinzhi rarely speaks. Every time He Yinghua finishes chatting with me, he always tells me not to tell others. After they passed away, this matter will rot in my heart." , I haven't chewed my tongue with anyone, and I wouldn't tell you if you weren't a policeman."

Mingshu asked again: "What are the real names of Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua?"

Li Feihe said, "That's their real names."

Mingshu said: "The small city in the south you mentioned just now, which small city is it?"

"I can't remember at the moment." Li Feihe pressed his forehead, "Liang, Liang what..."

Mingshu said, "Liang Xizhen?"

"Yes, yes, it is Liangxi Town." Li Feihe said, "But it's not the town, it's the countryside below."

Liangxi Town is the hometown of Yin Xiaofeng.Six years ago, when Xiaochen came back from "Yunyou", he took Yin Xiaofeng with him. At that time, Yaochen probably wasn't the real Duchen, but Mou Haiyuan.

And Mou Haiyuan's fake parents are also from Liangxi Town.

"Mr. Mou is very generous. Although the people living in the house are not his biological parents, he has treated them well enough. At least he has never treated them badly in material terms." Li Feihe continued: "The wages paid to me are also high. After Mu Qinzhi and He Yinghua passed away, I lost my job. He gave me a sum of money and let me go back to my hometown to live in peace. You see, if it wasn’t for Mr. Mou, how could I afford such a nice house. "

"Wait a minute." Ming Shu said, "Did Mou Qinzhi and He Yinghua really die of natural illness?"

"You suspect that Mr. Mou killed them? How is that possible?" Li Feihe shook his head, "It's really sick, I take care of them, can I still not understand? People are old, and all kinds of problems come out, it's not Mr. Mou's fault ..."

After leaving Li Feihe's house, Mingshu sat in the car playing with the cigarette case.

There were still a few cigarettes in the box, but he didn't smoke them.

Mou Haiyuan's filial parents in front of outsiders are not his real parents. If Mou Haiyuan wants to create a high-quality image of himself, the best way is to bring his biological parents to him. He didn't do this. There are only two possibilities. One is that his biological parents are no longer alive. The second is that for some reason, he cannot take his biological parents to live with him.

When shaping the "personality" of a filial son, Mou Haiyuan also insisted that he was an only son.

The truth is, the master of dust in Haijing Temple is probably his twin brother.

Mingshu took apart the cigarette case and crushed the cigarettes one by one in a short time.

Even though he came into contact with a large number of psychologically distorted suspects, Mingshu still couldn't grasp Mou Haiyuan's state of mind.Hiring a pair of fake parents can be understood as a business need, but after retiring, you can live a prosperous life. However, why did you go to Haijing Temple to "replace" your brother?

Furthermore, Mou Haiyuan always knew that the abbot of Haijing Temple was his brother?

In Hu Chengyi's eyes, the Duchen seven years ago represented compassion, but the Duchen who returned was gloomy and elusive, which is the difference between the real Duchen and Mou Haiyuan.

The phone vibrated, Mingshu picked it up and looked, it was Yi Fei.

Everyone in the serious crime team worked together, and Yi Fei led the team to investigate Mou Haiyuan's relationship in the film industry.

"Find something." Yi Fei said, "When will you be back?"

Mingshu said: "Let's talk on the phone, save time, I can still think about it on the way."

"Okay." Yi Fei said: "You childhood idol, you are far less noble than the characters portrayed on the screen."

Mingshu originally wanted to refute "Mou Haiyuan was not my childhood idol", but at this moment he was not in the mood, leaning back in his chair and listening to Yi Feifei.

Before stepping into the film industry, Mou Haiyuan was a student of a martial arts school in Han Province. Now, this school no longer exists.

Chen Shaoxing was the first person Mou Haiyuan met in the circle. He was also from a martial arts school, and he was not as popular as Mou Haiyuan in the movie circle.

Benefited from practicing martial arts at a young age, Mr. Chen is now physically strong and energetic. After seeing Yi Fei, he is eager to do two tricks with Yi Fei.

According to him, when Mou Haiyuan was still in the martial arts school, he had said many times that as long as he got ahead in the future, he must let his parents live a good life.

This is consistent with what Mou Haiyuan said and did later.

But Chen Shaoxing remembered that Mou Haiyuan had been extremely depressed for a while. When he asked the reason, Mou Haiyuan almost collapsed and said that his father had passed away.

Yi Fei repeatedly confirmed to Chen Shaoxing, "Did Mou Haiyuan really say that?"

"I said it." Chen Shaoxing said: "So I thought it was strange that he appeared in public with his parents. But at that time, Mou Haiyuan and I were already estranged. I can only guess that his father, maybe His mother remarried later."

In Chen Shaoxing's memory, before he became famous, Mou Haiyuan was often anxious. The reason for his anxiety almost all came from the delay in giving his parents a stable living environment.

The information Yi Fei got from Chen Shaoxing can be summed up as follows: Mou Haiyuan is a true dutiful son.

But after Mou Haiyuan became famous, those in the circle who knew the "insider story" didn't think so highly of him.

"Mu Haiyuan has a serious tendency to violence." An employee of a brokerage company who once worked for Mou Haiyuan said that whether Mou Haiyuan was an actor filming, or when he was a martial arts instructor and director, he always used the act of violence. It is as developed as it is now, and the actors who were beaten are all "soft persimmons", so such incidents have never been exposed.

In addition to acting violently through acting, Mou Haiyuan sometimes beats people in his team.

The employee showed an old scar on his back, claiming that it was caused by Mou Haiyuan, who paid the medical expenses and the so-called "hush money".

"I didn't spread rumors. You can ask a few more people and you will know that Mou Haiyuan is a scumbag. I heard that he has been missing for many years. Maybe he was killed by his enemies."

Yi Fei also found many people who served Mou Haiyuan back then, and they all said the same thing, one of them even revealed that Mou Haiyuan had the habit of bullying men and women.

"Xiao Lan'er, the young lady of the previous generation of actors, you young people may not have heard of her, she was insulted by Mou Haiyuan."

Xiao Laner has passed away, but her husband Lin Yi is still alive.

Hearing the name "Mou Haiyuan", Lin Yi was silent for a long time.He was already very old, and his eyes were cloudy that old people often have.

But Yi Fei saw anger, unwillingness, and remorse in those cloudy eyes.

"I should have killed him back then." Lin Yi murmured, "I made Lan'er wronged."

The film industry in the past was perhaps not much cleaner than the current entertainment industry. Lin Yi was also an actor, but he was a little-known actor. When Xiao Laner married Lin Yi, the newspaper said "married down", and at , Xiao Laner and Mou Haiyuan collaborated in two films in a row.

Lin Yi didn't tell Yi Fei clearly that my wife was indeed defiled by Mou Haiyuan, but he babbled a lot about Xiao Lan'er, and finally said in a self-consoling way: "Lan'er is not the only victim."

Yi Fei asked: "Has Mou Haiyuan ever bullied other actresses?"

Lin Yi stopped answering.

"Having a tendency to violence, and taking actions to force actresses, Mou Haiyuan's scandals are more than that." Yi Fei continued: "But the latter point, in their circle, is actually not a scandal."

Mingshu said, "Don't be a fool."

"Competing for resources with competitors." Yi Fei said: "In the past, there were many martial arts actors, just like our era, there are surprisingly many "little fresh meat". It is not so easy to get ahead. means."

Mingshu suddenly thought of something, "Then what happened to those people who lost to Mou Haiyuan in the competition?"

"I haven't had time to check them one by one." Yi Fei said: "But in any industry, especially in the competition at the bottom, the losers are miserable."

After hanging up the phone, Mingshu leaned on the steering wheel and gradually grasped the key.

The monks in Haijing Temple put aside Hu Chengyi, Liu Sui, and Tang Yuan who had already become monks for the time being, and only looked at Yin Xiaofeng, Chang Qingying, Chu Jiang, Wang Lu, Chu Xin, and Fang Pingxu who joined the temple later.

Yin Xiaofeng and Fang Pingxu are psychologically distorted and have serious violent tendencies.

Chang Qingying used dirty tricks in the workplace, which indirectly caused the death of her colleagues.

Chu Jiang took the lead in belittling the widow, which indirectly caused the widow to commit suicide.

Wang Lu was idle, didn't know how to honor his parents, and angered his father to death.

As for Chu Xin, it was probably an accident that this person came to Haijing Temple.

Except for Chu Xin, the characteristics of the above five people can be found in Mou Haiyuan. The more far-fetched one is Wang Lu, but how Mou Haiyuan's biological parents died is still unknown. If they died because of Mou Haiyuan, then this It's not farfetched.

Mou Haiyuan disappeared in order to gather these people who shared his sins together and erase them one by one?

what is this?

Is it another way of "atonement"?
