Madness of the Heart

"Did Qin Ying be pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong at Qiyue Mountain? Then she was rescued by Peeping Chen?"

When Ming Shu returned to Dongye City, he wanted to tell Xiao Yu'an what he thought all the way, but he learned this important clue from Xiao Yu'an.

"Hu Chengyi is now under our protection and will not leave Dongye City for the time being. If you have other questions, you can continue to ask him." Xiao Yuan threw a towel to Mingshu, "I have shown Hu Chengyi Through Qin Ke's collection of photos, Hu Chengyi was sure that what he saw in Haijing Temple 21 years ago was exactly the boy in the photo."

Ming Shu took the towel, wiped it on his freshly washed face, and put it on his shoulders, "21 years ago...Xiao Ju, 21 years ago, Hu Chengyi was not the only one who practiced in Haijing Temple!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "So I asked Liu Sui and Tang Yuan later. Liu Sui couldn't remember, but Tang Yuan still remembered."

Ming Shu leaned against the sink, dripping water from his wet forehead, "Qin Ying was still a 'black household' until he left Haijing Temple, where might he go?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Assuming that it was Qin Ying who killed the four people in 5-8, and Qin Ying came back to take revenge, then he had been brewing for 20 years. Qin Ying was about 20 years old 17 years ago, and now he is 37 years old. This timeline is too stretched." Long. In the past 20 years, how did he hide himself? Why did he wait so long?"

"37 years old." A figure suddenly flashed in Mingshu's mind, "I thought of someone."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

Mingshu said: "The boss of 'Cheng Jianghu'!"

Xiao Yu'an said: "You just think that the age of the boss of 'Cheng Jianghu' is the same as that of Qin Ying."

Mingshu shook his head, "Not only. 'Chengjianghu' became popular too fast, and it has already driven 'Shrimp Baby' to almost no business after only two months of opening, which is unbelievable. When I checked Shachun's case, I I have been to 'Baby Shrimp' personally. At that time, 'Cheng Jianghu' was still very inconspicuous, but 'Baby Shrimp' was the most popular shop on Longcheng Road. I have always been concerned about this, but first, during the initial investigation, 'Cheng Jianghu' It was investigated by us, and nothing abnormal was found. Second, I couldn't think of any motives for 'Cheng Jianghu', so I didn't dig deeper into this line."

Xiao Yu'an asked: "Have you found out the motive of 'Cheng Jianghu' now?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Ming Shu said, "Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong back then, and survived the catastrophe. Now she comes back to take revenge on Qin Xiong's family."

Xiao Yuan took off the towel from Mingshu's shoulders, folded it into a square, and put it on top of Mingshu's head, "The speed at which 'Cheng Jianghu' became popular is indeed suspicious, even with Qiu Min's recommendation video as a blessing, it is too fast. Maybe there is something tricky that we don't know yet. But if the boss of 'Cheng Jianghu' is Qin Ying, and his ultimate goal is to kill Qin Xiong's family for revenge, then instead of hiding himself, he would expose himself before that come out, why?"

Mingshu was so absorbed in thinking about the case that he didn't notice that there was a towel on his head.

The timing of "Cheng Jianghu"'s appearance and the impact after its appearance are all people can't help but care about.Before the accident happened to Qin Xiong's family, there were discussions on the Internet that "Cheng Jianghu" replaced "Baby Shrimp". After the murder, "Cheng Jianghu" was pushed to a very embarrassing position. As a result, the nearby residents had nothing to do, and speculated wildly whether the death of Qin Xiong's family was related to the competition on the same street.

Qin Ying wanted revenge, and opened a store next to "Baby Shrimp", and opened it with such a high profile, it was completely superfluous.

However, this is just an outsider's idea!

"No, it's because we haven't fully understood the psychology of an avenger." Mingshu frowned, "I have another idea."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Tell me about it."

"Based on Qin Ying's hatred for Qin Xiong, he may not be satisfied with just killing Qin Xiong's family." Ming Shu said: "He also wants to 'destroy' Qin Xiong. 'Baby Shrimp' is a career that Qin Xiong is proud of After the two elders of the Qin family passed away one after another, Qin Xiong used the savings of the two elders to open a restaurant. This restaurant is the predecessor of 'Baby Shrimp'. Qin Ying has been in ambush for 20 years, and the things that should be investigated must have been investigated It is clear that he knows more about Qin Xiong's fortune than we do. In his eyes, 'Baby Shrimp' sucked his blood and his parents' blood to grow up. So before killing Qin Xiong's family, he Also destroy the 'Baby Shrimp'."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Ming Shu looked into Xiao Yu'an's eyes and asked, "Is there any loophole?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "I guessed that you would suspect 'Cheng Jianghu', 'Cheng Jianghu' is indeed a point that must either be ruled out or locked in. Before you came back, I had already sent Fang Yuanhang over there."

Mingshu raised the tails of his eyes, then calmed down quickly, and analyzed the clues on Qiyue Mountain that he had sorted out one by one to Xiao Yuan.

"Atonement?" Xiao Yu'an said: "This idea is very novel. If a guilty person wants to atone for his sins, he should first understand where he is wrong and what crimes he has committed, and then do good deeds or compensate the victim. When he comes to Mou Haiyuan, Is it to obtain a monk status from his twin brother, and then gather together those who have made similar mistakes with him, and kill them one by one?"

Ming Shu said: "I think it's not very useful to analyze a suspect with psychological distortion and cling to conventional logic. I have gone through enough detours before, so it's better to change my thinking. For Mou Haiyuan, erasing Chu Jiang and others, Maybe it's another form of "being kind"? He should punish himself the most, but few people can attack him, so he pointed the knife at those like him. The so-called " "Yunyou" is all from the mouth of the spy. No one has heard them say that they want to "Yunyou", and no one has seen them leave Haijing Temple with their own eyes. However, the investigation of Shouquan Town has been carried out so far. People say they have seen them. I judge that they were killed when Peeping Dust said they went down the mountain to 'wander'."

Xiao Yu'an said: "At the age of Xiao Chen, it is not difficult to kill people, but it is more difficult to dispose of the corpse. The place where the corpse is hidden is not too far away. Last time Yi Fei and the others went to Haijing Temple to search, did they only search the temple?"

"Yes." Mingshu nodded, and the towel suddenly fell off his head.

Xiao Yuan chuckled.

Mingshu held the towel, "Fuck, you fuck me!"

Xiao Yu'an said seriously: "Don't swear at your superiors, please concentrate during work."

"Who doesn't focus first?" Mingshu folded the spread towels and placed them on top of Xiao Yuan's head, "I want to put them too."

Xiao Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Mingshu quietly.

Mingshu stopped moving.

After two seconds, Mingshu took back the towel, "If you don't let it go, don't let it go, I'll fix you when I get home."

Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "What did you just say?"

Mingshu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Where is the cliff where Qin Xiong pushed Qin Ying off? Even tourists would not go up the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff is 'safer', will Xiaochen follow Qin Xiong's example? ..."

Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "Ming team, you're in a bit of a mess."

Mingshu immediately realized that the current Duchen is no longer the Duchen who saved Qin Ying in the past, so how can he follow suit?

"According to the idea you just put forward, Mou Haiyuan liquidated his mistakes one by one on others, which can be regarded as a kind of ritual. The murderer who commits the crime is ritualistic, and the murderer who commits the crime is usually also ritualistic in hiding the corpse." Xiao Yuan said: " If the three of Chu Jiang are dead, their bodies are hidden in two places, one is the place where they made mistakes, and the other is Qiyue Mountain. If it is the former, then Mou Haiyuan should lead them to their respective hometowns. It is not very likely to start again, because it takes time to come and go, before this year's "retreat", Xiaochen did not leave Haijing Temple for a long time."

"The most likely place to hide the corpse is near Haijing Temple." Ming Shu said, "I'll arrange a search right away."

The third section of Longcheng Road, "Cheng Jianghu".

"If it is a reasonable request, of course I will cooperate." The man smiled, but the smile was very cold, "But I found that you seem to regard me as a suspect. How can I cooperate?"

Fang Yuanhang frowned and looked at the man.

The man was Cheng Xiuming, the boss of "Cheng Jianghu". He looked in his early thirties, but the age on his ID card was 36 years old.

He is not a "black

", my hometown is Yancheng in the neighboring Han Province, and I only came to Dongye City this year.

Cheng Xiuming's background seems to be very clean, the field team has gone to Yancheng to investigate, and learned that Cheng Xiuming used to run a Jianghu restaurant, because of his good craftsmanship and honest personality, the business has been good.

But in the first half of this year, Cheng Xiuming suddenly handed over the well-run restaurant to his apprentice Han Chao, came to Dongye City alone, and opened "Cheng Jianghu" not long after.

"Brother Cheng, what are you doing? My brother Cheng is the best person in the world!" Han Chao was extremely dissatisfied with the police's "cross-provincial" investigation of his master, "You go and ask, no one on this street will talk about me Hello Brother Cheng!"

Cheng Xiuming's Jianghu Restaurant in Yancheng opened on a place called "Ronghua Street".On this street, Cheng Xiuming is considered a celebrity, if any house or household needs help, if you find him, as long as he has a way, he will help, and sometimes he can't help, and he will give some reasonable suggestions.

As Han Chao said, no one who knew Cheng Xiuming said he was bad.

But what the police have to pay attention to is that Cheng Xiuming is alone and has no family members. Except for Han Chao, an apprentice, he seems to have no friends.

No relatives and no friends, live alone, help when you are busy, regardless of gains and losses.

This is an absolute good man.

But the criminal police of the serious crime team have seen a lot of weird and twisted murderers. The more "good people" they are, the harder it is to escape their sight.

Good and evil complement each other, everyone has evil in their hearts, and no one is immune.If there is no evil at all, then the good is false.In many cases, the extremely vicious murderers advertise themselves as the supreme and wise good people. Besides committing crimes, they also play the role of good people. Therefore, when some murderers are finally brought to justice, people who are familiar with them often Will be surprised - how is it possible?

"If Brother Cheng hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago." Han Chao said that he was sold to Yancheng by human traffickers, and he has not been able to solve the problem of household registration and ID card, nor can he find his parents.Unable to prove his identity, he couldn't find a decent job in this society. Before meeting Cheng Xiuming, he had been living in the "dark area" of the city. He had done a lot of good and bad things, and was almost cheated It was Cheng Xiuming who pulled him back from going astray, gave him a job, and helped him solve the identity problem that he hadn't solved for more than ten years.

"I was also a 'black householder' before." Cheng Xiuming said, "Uncle Cheng registered for me."

"Brother Cheng is the same as me. He doesn't know who his real parents are. His surname should not be Cheng. Uncle Cheng took him in, so he took the surname of Uncle Cheng." Han Chao seemed to know Cheng Xiuming very well, and was anxious to Let the police believe that Cheng Xiuming is a good person, and tell all of Cheng Xiuming's past in one breath——

Cheng Xiuming's craftsmanship was inherited from the late Cheng Shucai.Cheng Shucai's wife and child died young, and he found Cheng Xiuming who was beaten all over his body in the restaurant of his opponent, and immediately called the police and rescued him.Cheng Xiuming was less than 20 years old at the time. He was a "black householder" with no relatives and was bullied everywhere.Cheng Shucai took pity on him, and asked people everywhere to find connections, and finally gave him an ID card and household registration, and accepted him as an apprentice, first let him help in his own restaurant, and then gradually taught him all the skills.

More than ten years ago, Cheng Shucai rescued Cheng Xiuming.

Ten years later, Cheng Xiuming rescued Han Chao in the same way.

The field team member asked: "Do you know why Cheng Xiuming suddenly left Yancheng and went to Dongye City to do business?"

Han Chao said: "Dongye City is bigger than Yancheng. Brother Cheng is so good at craftsmanship. He only stays in Yancheng. Isn't he Qu Cai? 'Cheng Jianghu' is so popular in your Dongye, it shows that Brother Cheng is right to go."

"It's also a big city, why did you choose Dongye City instead of Luocheng?" The field team member said again: "Luocheng is your provincial capital."

"This..." Han Chao couldn't answer, "Hey! Brother Cheng can drive wherever he likes, so he can drive there!"

Han Chao's explanation is full of loopholes, and Cheng Xiuming's experience before obtaining legal status is actually blank. The only Cheng Shucai who may know his past is no longer alive.

Is it possible that he is really the missing Qin Ying?

If so, why didn't Qin Xiong and Huang Hui recognize him?

A person's appearance will change with age. Qin Ying was only 16 years old when she disappeared, and now she is 37 years old. From a boy to a man, the appearance will inevitably change, but will there really be no trace of the past on the face?

Unless it's a facelift.

Fang Yuanhang was thinking quickly in his mind, while Cheng Xiuming, who was standing opposite him, had already turned his eyes away, and it seemed that he was ready to make preparations before opening at night.

"Qin Ying." Fang Yuanhang suddenly called out.

Cheng Xiuming turned around when he heard the words.

Although this is considered a reaction, it is only a very common reaction.Fang Yuanhang failed to see the unusual in Cheng Xiuming's eyes.

"Who is Qin Ying?" Cheng Xiuming asked in a flat tone.

"I still have a few questions I want to find the answer from you." Fang Yuanhang pulled out an armchair, sat down on his own, and then looked up at Cheng Xiuming.

In the serious crime team, if you want to pick a "noisy faction leader", it must be Fang Yuanhang, but after Mingshu came back this summer, he consciously followed Mingshu's example, and his gestures gradually took on a bit of Mingshu's flavor. .

Cheng Xiuming stood there for a while, looked at the young criminal policeman, and smiled helplessly after a while, "It seems that if I don't answer, I won't be able to open tonight, right?"

Fang Yuanhang also smiled, "It is my responsibility, please understand."

Cheng Xiuming also sat down and sighed, "Ask."

Fang Yuanhang said: "You entered the Cheng family when you were 20 years old, what happened before that?"

"Scavenging." Cheng Xiuming said calmly: "I do odd jobs for others. If you insist on asking who can prove it for me, I can only tell you, no."

Fang Yuanhang said, "Do you know Haijing Temple?"

Cheng Xiuming said: "I didn't know it before, but now I know that there was a criminal case there."

Fang Yuanhang kept staring into Cheng Xiuming's eyes, and found that there was no flaw in the man's expression.

"'Cheng Jianghu' suddenly became popular, did 'Qiu Shan Wangmian' take the initiative to find you, or did you contact him?" Fang Yuanhang deliberately inserted insignificant questions between important questions, "After 'Cheng Jianghu' became popular, Do you still have contact with 'Qiu Shan Wang Mian'?"

"I didn't take the initiative to hype." Cheng Xiuming said: "But since a big V has taken a fancy to my store, of course I wish for it."

Fang Yuanhang said: "Did you think 'Cheng Jianghu' would become popular so quickly?"

Cheng Xiuming said: "I dare to open next to the hottest restaurant in the third section of Longcheng Road, because I have the confidence to share a share with it."

Fang Yuanhang narrowed his eyes, "So you temporarily put away the shop in Yancheng and came to Dongye City just for 'Baby Shrimp'?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiuming slightly raised his eyebrows, and the hand that had been resting on the edge of the table stiffened indistinctly.

This was Cheng Xiuming's only emotional reaction since the two met.

"You also know that my colleague is in Yancheng now." Fang Yuanhang strikes while the iron is hot, "Your apprentice Han Chao can't tell you about your sudden departure from Yancheng."

"Because in your hearts, I came to Dongye for 'no reason' and stole Qin Xiong's business, so I became a suspect?" Cheng Xiuming laughed again, "What about the evidence? Doubtful, but arresting people requires evidence.”

The serious crime team has no evidence that Cheng Xiuming is the murderer, and even the suspicion is not the same as the suspicion of Qin Xu earlier. There is a group of unfamiliar footprints in 5-8. Modeling from the footprints can infer the approximate height and weight of the person who left the footprints, as well as their walking habits.But footprints are far less critical than fingerprints.

Cheng Xiuming's height is within the range defined by modeling.

Fang Yuanhang was thinking about the next step, and suddenly saw Cheng Xiuming spread his hands, "It seems that my 'willfulness' got me into trouble."

"What 'willful'?" Fang Yuanhang became vigilant.

"Beforehand, I have nothing to do with Qin Xiong's death, and I have no enmity with him." Cheng Xiuming said, "You called me 'Qin Ying' just now, did you think I was this person? Qin Ying, Qin Ying Xiong, interesting. But I am not Qin Ying, not the murderer you are looking for."

Fang Yuanhang's heartbeat gradually accelerated, knowing that what Cheng Xiuming was going to say next would be very important.

At the same time, the field team members far away in Yancheng finally learned a clue about Qin Xiong's close relationship through continuous visits——

Cheng Xiuming and Han Chao's restaurant once received a customer named "Qu Yongfei" in the first half of this year, and this customer currently lives in Mishui County below Yancheng.

"Qu Yongfei?" Mingshu said while walking with headphones on, "Isn't that the owner of 'Xinyang Kitchen'?"

Before the opening of "Chengjianghu", the neighbor of "Shrimp Baby" has always been "Xinyang Kitchen".In previous surveys, the police have made it clear that the business of "Xinyang Kitchen" is far inferior to that of "Baby Shrimp". Qu Yongfei's son, Qu Xinyang, is seriously ill and urgently needs medical expenses. "Imitated the idea of ​​"Xinyang Kitchen".

Qu Yongfei once asked Qin Xiong to give him some customers, which was actually not appropriate, but Qu Yongfei had no other choice at that time.

Instead of helping Qu Yongfei, Qin Xiong humiliated Qu Yongfei.

Soon, Qu Xinyang died.

"We have found Qu Yongfei, and his reaction is very strange." The field team reported: "Not only did Qu Xinyang have four shrines in his home, but also curse characters and villains!"

Mingshu said: "This is engaging in feudal superstition."

"Qu Xinyang's illness and death have nothing to do with Qin Xiong. It is understandable that Qin Xiong does not accept Qu Yongfei's request. After all, everyone is a businessman, and the strong have no obligation to take care of the weak." Cheng Xiuming said: "But Qin Xiong's arrogance, ruined a person."

Fang Yuanhang said, "You mean Qu Yongfei?"

Cheng Xiuming got up and looked around at everything in the shop, "Many years ago, Qu Yongfei learned cooking from my benefactor, Cheng Shucai. At that time, Qu Yongfei was full of ambition, and this year he went to Mishui County via Yancheng Qu Yongfei is completely different. After his only son died of illness, his wife also left him, and now he has mental problems."

Fang Yuanhang was puzzled and said, "You want to avenge Qu Yongfei?"

"It depends on how you understand the word 'revenge'." Cheng Xiuming said: "I said, I didn't kill people, and I won't kill people in the future. Qin Xiong, relying on his superb cooking skills, looks down on all those who are not as good as him. Opening the door of his house and stealing his business, is it considered 'revenge'?"

"But you don't have to..." Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yuanhang stopped.

No need.

What is unnecessary?

In the eyes of those who have nothing to do with it, everything is "unnecessary".

But for those concerned, since it has been done, why is it unnecessary?

Sure enough, Cheng Xiuming shook his head, "You policemen have your police principles, and I have mine. I opened my shop here and used my means to 'revenge' a ruined person. I didn't violate any rules. Laws and regulations. Even if 'Qiu Shan Wang Mian' didn't recommend me, I can still make Qin Xiong suffer, but..."

As he said that, Cheng Xiuming sighed, "Death is the most important thing. If I knew that this kind of thing would happen to his Qin family, I probably wouldn't come to Dongye."

Shouquan Town, Qiyue Mountain.

"Yes." Mingshu directed the search while listening to Fang Yuanhang's call.

"Cheng Xiuming explained his behavior very clearly, but I still have some doubts." Fang Yuanhang said: "We have no way to verify the experience of this person before he was 20 years old. Master, do we need to bring him back to the bureau?" ?”

"No need." Mingshu said: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him out of our sight."

That night, the serious crime team discovered a cave in an extremely hidden location, and there were three corpses with different degrees of decay hidden in the cave.
