Madness of the Heart

The three bodies were not buried, but placed side by side on the ground facing the ground.Judging from the direction, their heads are uniformly facing west, while their feet are facing east. The original color of the clothes on their bodies can hardly be seen, but it can be recognized from the style that they are the monks' clothes of Haijing Temple.

"This is the three people from Chu Jiang?" Fang Yuanhang was wearing a mask, his voice was buzzing, "Damn it, why is it waxed, I am most afraid of this kind of corpse!"

"Judging from the timeline of clothing and decay, there is a high probability that they are them, but we still have to wait for Teacher Xing's results." Ming Shu looked down at the three corpses, his eyes gradually deepening.

In the leftmost corpse, part of the soft tissue has turned into a muddy gray substance, which is in the process of ossification.The buttocks, abdomen, and limbs of the other two are yellow and waxy, which is the beginning of the waxing process. The middle one died earlier, so the degree of waxing is more serious than the rightmost one.

The temperature in the mountains is very low, and the temperature in the cave is even lower and humid. The corpse is thrown in this environment, and the possibility of waxing is high.But why are the two on the right waxed and the one on the left not?

Whether the corpse is waxed or not is affected by many external factors. Whether it is exposed to the air is one, and whether the surrounding environment is cold and humid is the second. Usually, obese corpses buried in moist soil or directly thrown in water are more prone to waxing. , but not necessarily.

Mingshu looked at the ossified corpse again, "Brother Xing, were these corpses thrown here immediately after death, or were they transferred here after a period of time?"

"I guess it was thrown immediately after death." It was Xiao Man who answered Mingshu, "Before you came in, I had already conducted a survey of this place, and no one has been here for at least half a year, and the soil is well preserved. footprints, and only the footprints of this person, it is obvious that this person is the murderer we are looking for."

Xing Mu also said: "Judging from the condition of the corpses, I also think that they were put here shortly after death. As for why under the same environment, one corpse turned to bones while the other two turned to wax. Its own cause is related to the time of death."

Mingshu squatted down, "The boneless one is even thinner."

Xing Mu nodded, "Now I can't tell you the specific time when they were killed, but the approximate time can still be judged. This corpse that has entered the process of ossification died between June and July last year."

"Summer. It's summer when Chujiang goes down the mountain to travel in the clouds." Mingshu said, "But the humidity should be higher in summer."

"However, there are more mosquitoes in the mountains in summer, and the mosquitoes will accelerate the ossification of the corpse." Xing Mu said: "In terms of the influence on how the corpse develops, the mosquitoes have a greater impact than the temperature and humidity. Although the environment of the cave is easy to make the corpse Waxing, but they were not buried in the soil after all, so it is not surprising that they rot normally. Another point, waxing or not is also related to the degree of obesity of the corpse."

Mingshu remembered the photos of Chu Jiang, Chang Qingying, and Wang Lu that he had seen before. Chu Jiang was very thin, while Chang Qingying and Wang Lu were both fatter.

"The two waxed corpses died later." Xing Mu continued: "The second corpse was from November to December last year, and the third corpse was in March this year. During this time period, the mountains are the coldest and the mosquitoes are extinct. , plus they are already obese, and various factors interact to cause waxing. You all hate waxing corpses, but for us forensic doctors, waxing is much more 'cute' than ossification."

Mingshu stood up, "Because waxed corpses can preserve more clues."

Xing Mu said: "Yes, look at the chest and abdomen, arms, thighs, and necks of the two corpses, there are traces of rope restraint."

Fang Yuanhang hurriedly endured his nausea and came over to take a look.

After figuring out why two of the corpses in the same environment were waxed and one was boned, Ming Shu stopped disturbing Xing Mu and went outside the cave to observe the surrounding situation.

This cave is very hidden, if you just search the mountain roughly, you may not be able to find it.

The murderer probably also knew this, so after bringing the corpse here, he not only didn't bury it, but also didn't dispose of his own footprints.

The corpses are all face down, does this imply repentance?Atonement?

One died between July and August last year, one died between November and December last year, and one died in March this year, with an interval of three to four months, but half a year has passed since March this year. , the murderer has no further action?

If the murderer is Mou Haiyuan pretending to be a spy, what is he waiting for?

The three corpses were brought back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for autopsy. Before the autopsy, Xing Mu found three pieces of plastic paper in the pockets of the corpses, on which were written "Lust", "Framed", and "Unfilial", which corresponded to Body No. [-] (suspected to be Chu Jiang), body No. [-] (suspected to be Chang Qingying), and body No. [-] (suspected to be Wang Lu).

Chu Jiang's immorality lies in molesting the widow, which indirectly caused the widow to commit suicide; Chang Qingying's immorality lies in being jealous of outstanding juniors, misleading the younger generation on important company projects, and indirectly causing the younger generation to jump off the building; and Wang Lu's most obvious immorality, is Unfilial.

In addition to being unfilial, these three points have not yet been proven, and all of them correspond to Mou Haiyuan's own immorality.

Mingshu put the plastic papers in the evidence bag on the table one by one, "My inference is correct. Mou Haiyuan is atoning for his sins by killing his fellow sinners. Now the monks in Haijing Temple, Except for Liu Sui and Tang Yuan, they are all "scapegoats" gathered by him in some way. He summoned them to let them die for him. His next target is either Yin Xiaofeng or Fang Pingxu. It's all about violence."

"The footprints in the cave come from this pair of rain boots." Xiao Man was carrying a large evidence bag, which contained a pair of black rain boots. The rain boots looked very old, with a lot of dust and mud attached to the surface. "The rain boots are from the sea mirror. It was found in the warehouse of the temple, and the fingerprints extracted from it are consistent with the fingerprints that Mou Haiyuan left in his brokerage company in the past."

Soon, the anatomical results and DNA comparison results came out.

Chu Jiang, Chang Qingying, and Wang Lu all left their personal information in the public security system before they became monks. After comparison, the three corpses belonged to them.

Xing Mu stood on the side of Wang Lu's body, put his hands on both sides of Wang Lu's head, and made a twisting movement, "The three of them all died of severe cervical spine damage. From the results of the autopsy and the results of the autopsy and those kept in Wang Lu, Changqing Judging from the marks on Ying's head, the murderer broke their necks with his bare hands."

"Mou Haiyuan has practiced martial arts for decades, but he has such skills, and from the perspective of a 'punisher' and a 'redeemer', he has a mentality that is bound to make the dead suffer." Mingshu said: "But a frontal attack, this The risk is a bit high. Brother Xing, in the cave, you said that there are traces of binding on the waxed corpse, is it bound before death or after death?"

"After death." Xing Mu said: "Based on the other injuries on their bodies, I judge that the murderer put ropes on them for the convenience of transferring the bodies after killing them."

Mingshu asked again: "Are they showing signs of poisoning?"

Xing Mu shook his head.

Ming Shu walked up to Xing Mu, raised his hands, and encased Xing Mu's head just like Xing Mu gestured on Chu Jiang's head just now.

Xing Mu immediately stiffened and his heart beat wildly, "Leader, what do you want to do, there is monitoring!"

Mingshu said: "You are awake, I stand in front of you and control your head, will you resist?"

Xing Mu thought, nonsense, everyone can resist, okay?

"Ke Ke, but I can't beat you!" Xing Mu said and grabbed Ming Shu's arm—this was an instinctive action.

"You will struggle if you can fight hard, but you will struggle. This is a human's survival instinct, just like you are doing now. And I haven't used any strength yet, if I do..." Mingshu increased the strength in his hand.

Xing Mu almost jumped up with a kick.

Mingshu let him go quickly, and said with a smile, "I attacked the police, Mr. Xing."

"It was you who attacked the police first!" Xing Mu was so wronged that his face turned pale, "You have practiced, with your ability, you can easily twist my head off!"

"Yes, I was the one who attacked the police first." Mingshu said, "In this face-to-face posture, as long as a person is awake, they will struggle no matter what, but there are no signs of resistance or poisoning on their bodies. Someone wrung his neck in his sleep?"

Xing Mu was still caught in the tension of being attacked, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly said "ah", "No, it wasn't in sleep, he was killed in a kneeling position!"

Mingshu frowned, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Xing Mu couldn't help speaking faster, "Didn't I say that waxed corpses are easier to preserve clues, and Wang Lu and Chang Qingying have crushed knees. Leader, they were not tied up before they died, that is, they voluntarily knelt in front of the murderer, Let the murderer break their necks?"

Mingshu closed his eyes, and the clues gradually traced the scene of the crime in his mind.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of breathing was left, Xing Mu waited for a while, then called softly: "Leader?"

Mingshu turned his face, "Brother Xing, I'll ask you to kneel down and hand your head into my hand, would you like it?"

Xing Mu's eyelids twitched, and he roared in his heart - I wish you a ghost, I can't beat you to death!

"You don't want to." Mingshu said: "No one would. But if another person, such as a highly respected monk, asks you to kneel down and wash away your sins by touching your head with his hands, you are you willing?"

"Ah?" Xing Mu hadn't turned the corner, "I have no sin!"

"I'm just making an analogy." Mingshu said: "It's not necessarily a sin, but every person must hide some things that are unknown to outsiders. Shadows, do you want to get rid of these shadows?"

Xing Mu nodded ignorantly, but said after a while: "Then I won't kneel, and it's not some serious shadow."

Mingshu said: "For us ordinary people, if we have never committed a crime or done anything particularly immoral, we really don't need to be punished by a monk, but the three of us, Chu Jiang, have committed serious immorality."

"So in the dust, no, under Mou Haiyuan's persuasion, they took the initiative to kneel down, thinking that the master was going to save them, but in the end their necks were twisted?" Xing Mu punched his palm, "It's okay, the corpse The clues presented are all explained clearly!"

Ming Shu patted Xing Mu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Thanks to Brother Xing for the autopsy analysis."

Xing Mu wanted to laugh but held back, his face turned red.

There is another analysis that Mingshu did not tell Xing Mu.

People like Chu Jiang came to Haijing Temple five or six years ago, but Mou Haiyuan didn't do anything to them for a long time, and he didn't kill the first person until last year.

It took so long that it was impossible not to notice.

But from the point of kneeling, Mou Haiyuan wants them to kneel and repent, so before that, it must take a long time to "domesticate" them.

Those who were "domesticated" early have already been killed, while the remaining few people have not yet been "domesticated".

Apart from Liu Sui and Tang Yuan, Chu Xin, Yin Xiaofeng, and Fang Pingxu are all young people. It is indeed not that easy for Mou Haiyuan to "put them to death" like killing Chu Jiang and the other three.

But could this be the reason why Mou Haiyuan pretended to retreat?

Is it possible that someone among the remaining people discovered Mou Haiyuan's secret and "anti-killed" him first?

At present, Mou Haiyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and the clues cannot be twisted together.

When the serious crime team searched Qiyue Mountain, a detailed investigation of Mou Haiyuan was also going on.

Before retiring, Mou Haiyuan purchased real estate in many cities across the country.After retiring, most of these properties were sold, and almost all the proceeds were donated to youth welfare.

There was no media report on what Mou Haiyuan did. If the police hadn't locked him down this time, they wouldn't have been able to find out these old events.

Fang Yuanhang said: "This person is really contradictory. He is really doing good deeds, and he is not bad at all bad deeds."

"It's not 'this person is really contradictory', it's just that the vast majority of people are very contradictory, to varying degrees." Mingshu pays more attention to problems than Fang Yuanhang, "Mou Haiyuan is keen on doing charity, but the charity he does is only for young people. From him From the perspective of hiring parents and treating the hired parents well, he should have done something wrong to his biological parents in the past, and regretted and repented because of it. Under normal circumstances, in addition to caring for teenagers, he should also care about his parents. Old people at the same age. It's kind of... quirky that there's a huge amount of money going into teenage charity."

"This is a very important clue." Xiao Yu'an joined the discussion, "Behavior reflects psychology. Although we have encountered many opponents who intentionally interfere with the police's judgment recently, Mou Haiyuan's charity is hiding it from everyone. In this matter, he does not need to pretend, so his behavior reflects his true psychology."

Fang Yuanhang scratched his hair, lost in thought.

It is indeed true psychology, but what is the important clue?

"Putting all the money into the youth welfare system shows that this is Mou Haiyuan's urgent psychological appeal, which even exceeds his guilt towards his biological parents." Xiao Yu'an said: "This behavior may indicate that Mou Haiyuan's childhood and youth have passed. It was extremely difficult, and the shadow it left has always been with him."

Mingshu said: "Before Mou Haiyuan became famous, he really had a bad life."

Xiao Yu'an flipped through the printed materials, "Mou Haiyuan focuses on Long Province, followed by Han Province next door to us. Han Province is easy to understand, this is his hometown in name. But what about Long Province?"

"Long Province is a border province, and Yin Xiaofeng's hometown Liang Xi Town is in Long Province!" Ming Shu's eyes tightened, "Xiao Ju, do you doubt that Mou Haiyuan's real hometown is Long Province?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Xiao Yuan said: "A person will not care about a place that has nothing to do with him for no reason. Yin Xiaofeng was brought back to Haijing Temple by Mou Haiyuan. How did Mou Haiyuan meet him? Where did he meet? Yes Isn't it just in Long Province?"

trial room.

When asked how he met Xiaochen, Yin Xiaofeng was silent for a long time.Just when Fang Yuanhang thought he was going to be silent to the end, he suddenly raised his lifeless eyes, "Xiao Chen said, take me to a place that is quieter than a hospital."

"Hospital" refers to the mental hospital where Yin Xiaofeng stayed for several years after he was rescued by the police.His attending doctor told Xu Chun that Yin Xiaofeng hated the noisy environment, and after leaving, he returned and proposed to stay in the mental hospital.

"Where?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "Where did you meet Peep Chen?"

Yin Xiaofeng said, "It's in Liangxi Town."

Chu Xin and Fang Pingxu were also questioned one by one.

Chu Xin insisted that he took the initiative to practice in Haijing Temple and had nothing to do with Yuchen, while Fang Pingxu also said that he had never seen Yuchen before coming to Qiyue Mountain.

"The three of Chu Jiang are dead, but at least Yin Xiaofeng confirmed our speculation." Fang Yuanhang said: "I also thought it was strange before. Fang Pingxu and Yin Xiaofeng both corresponded to violent tendencies. If Mou Haiyuan wants to make amends, he only needs to kill one of them. There is no need to kill two people in a row."

While listening to Fang Yuanhang's analysis, Mingshu watched the video sent back by Xu Chun.

Mou Haiyuan's charitable funds are mostly used in welfare homes, primary and secondary schools. After investigation, there is a welfare home in Liangxi Town that is almost entirely operated by Mou Haiyuan's donations.

There is even a photo of Mou Haiyuan hanging in this orphanage.

"Similar charitable projects are basically anonymous. Why is Mou Haiyuan's photo hung in the orphanage?" Ming Shu said, "Has he been there? Is there a source? Xu Chun, have you been to other orphanages or welfare institutions in Long Province?" Do you have a picture of Mou Haiyuan hanging in the school?"

Xu Chun said: "No, and apart from here, the hospital doesn't know who the funder is."

Mingshu said: "Ask all the staff in this orphanage, especially the older ones. If someone has retired, go to their home to visit. This place is so special, I doubt that Mou Haiyuan walked out of this orphanage back then. !"

"This is our benefactor." A child pointed to the photo on the wall and said, "We are all his children."

Xu Chun noticed that no matter adults or children in the orphanage, they made no secret of their admiration for Mou Haiyuan. In their eyes, this is a great kind person.

But when asked about the relationship between this great benefactor and the orphanage, no one could say anything. The current director, Xiu Chunhua, is in his fifties and has worked in the orphanage for more than 20 years. He only knows that Mou Haiyuan and the previous director are similar Some friendship.

"The photo was only hung up in the last few years." Xiu Chunhua said, "Mr. Mou refused to let it go before."

Xu Chun said, "Why not?"

Xiu Chunhua said: "Maybe he did good deeds and didn't want to be known by others. Mr. Mou is a famous person after all."

"Then why did you hang up his picture again now?"

"He hasn't been here in years. The kids want to thank him in their own way."

Xu Chun asked again: "The old dean now..."

Xiu Chunhua sighed, "He has passed away."

The old dean may be the last person to know about Mou Haiyuan. Once he dies, many secrets will be brought into the grave.

Xu Chun refused to give up, and rushed to the home of the old dean.

The old dean's wife, surnamed Chen, is in her seventies and is still sane.

There are several photo frames on the cabinet. This is a happy family, as can be seen from the multiple family photos.But in these family portraits, there is even a photo of Mou Haiyuan and two old people.

"Haiyuan is our friend." The old man took the photo frame with his withered hands and stroked it carefully, "He has not forgotten us."

As soon as Xu Chun heard these words, he understood that the old man must know something.

The old man showed no defense against the police, and told what happened to him, his wife Li Liulan, Mou Haiyuan, and many children decades ago.

Even now, Liangxi Town is not rich, let alone decades ago.

In winter, the poor Mu family gave birth to a pair of twins named Mu Haiyuan and Mu Haifeng. At that time, there was no such thing as household registration. The two children grew up day by day with other children of the same age in the town.

The whole town was poor, and the parents saved their rations for their children, but even then it was hard to make ends meet.When the two brothers of the Mu family were five or six years old, the younger brother Mu Haifeng was "sent" to a foreigner.

Relying on the money and food provided by outsiders, the three members of the Mu family did not freeze to death in that cold winter.

After the beginning of spring, Mu Haiyuan told his companions who grew up with him that he wanted to go out and find his brother back, and in the future, he would also help his parents get rid of such a poor life.

The partners talked a lot, some said they wanted to be a soldier, some said they wanted to be a scientist, but only Mu Haiyuan said that he wanted to make money and get rich.

"Then you can't forget us." Li Liulan said: "We suffered when we were young, but I hope that children born here in the future will not suffer. I will build a house of love. Whoever's child can't afford to eat, come to my love." House to eat! Haiyuan, if you have money, can you donate some to my love house?"

Mu Haiyuan nodded solemnly, and said in a childish voice: "I want all children to be able to eat!"

Li Liulan was later the director of the orphanage.

And Mu Haiyuan was later Mou Haiyuan.

"Haiyuan changed his name. When I came back for the first time, Liulan and I didn't recognize him." The old man said, "At that time, the orphanage had just been built, and money was needed everywhere. Promise of."

How Mu Haiyuan became Mou Haiyuan, the old man did not explain clearly, but Xu Chun had already drawn a clear outline, and asked before the old man was too tired to speak: "When did Mou Haiyuan's parents die?"

"It's long gone." The old man shook his head, "Haiyuan left when he was ten years old, and then the town suffered a famine, and the adults gave food to us children. That year, many people starved to death. Haiyuan's mother was He died at that time, and his father didn't wait for him to return home."

The No. [-] Intermediate People's Court of Dongye City.

The case of Chu Can's alleged murder, illegal detention, and mutilation of corpses is being tried in court. The judge did not pronounce the sentence in court. Luo Yi, who was sitting in the gallery, stood up and met Chu Can's eyes.

Chu Can's eyes were full of fierceness, while Luo Yi's eyes only had undisguised contempt.

After leaving the court, Luo Yi made a phone call. The other party did not know what to say. Luo Yi gritted his teeth and said, "How long are they going to lock Chu Xin?"
