Madness of the Heart

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Deputy Director's Office.

"The victim, Meng Shan, is 35 years old. She was a singer of a performance team named 'Missing' before the main urban area banned funeral performances." Ming Shu had just finished eating, her lips and nose turned slightly red, "she Unmarried, she lives on Guangdan Road with her parents. When she was a singer, her parents, like most people on that street, were in the funeral business. Five years ago, Meng Shan's mother, Zuo Qun, died of a similar Rheumatism, a week ago, her father Meng Yonghui died of lung cancer, she..."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Yu'an interrupted, "The result of your investigation is that Zuo Qun 'died' of rheumatoid?"

"My expression is not accurate." Ming Shu said: "Zuo Qun committed suicide at home by taking sleeping pills because he couldn't bear the pain of rheumatoid."

Xiao Yu'an asked, "Is there any doubt about suicide?"

"The three members of the Meng family are all dead now, and there are doubts that can't be confirmed." Mingshu said: "My judgment is that Zuo Qun did commit suicide, and her family did not commit suicide when they knew she was taking sleeping pills. She was sent to the hospital urgently. I went to see Meng's house. The house with two bedrooms and one living room is only about [-] square meters in size. The whole family lives together, Zuo Qun takes medicine, and the possibility of the other two being completely unaware is very slim. They are not urgent. There are two reasons for sending to the doctor. One is knowing that rheumatoid pain is too painful for loved ones to bear. Instead of suffering, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. work, so I hoped that Zuo Qun would die sooner."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Continue."

"Meng Shan has never been married. She was educated in junior high school. After the performance was banned, she lost her source of income and worked odd jobs. Now she works in a place called 'Dragon Girl Design Studio'. I have arranged for someone to go to this studio to investigate. "Ming Shu continued: "The funeral business of the Meng family is not doing well. Zuo Qun's medical treatment has almost exhausted the family's savings. In the past five years, they have not started any business, and the family's expenses are all dependent on Meng Shan's part-time job. From the mobile phone Judging from the communication records on the Internet, Meng Shan has no friends, and only her colleagues have been in contact with her recently. We visited Guangdan Road and learned that after Zuo Qun's death, Meng Yonghui seemed to be a different person. Meng Shan's relationship is very bad. The Meng family often hears the father and daughter quarreling, and more than one person heard Meng Shan curse Meng Yonghui to die."

Xiao Yu'an stood at the desk opposite Mingshu, leaning slightly against the edge of the desk, not as tall and straight as he stood in front of outsiders.

But even in such a lazy posture, he still has a bit of majesty.

"Did you remember the case you investigated when you just came back?" Xiao Yu'an said.

The author's tomb heart, a person who respects and loves his parents extremely, thinks that those who are not filial should be damned, and killed those who disrespected their parents.

Mingshu lowered his eyelids and leaned back on the sofa, "I think I thought about it, but that case is an exception. There is only one graveyard out of countless people, and they kill those who are unfilial. Although it is not ruled out that there are such people , but the possibility is very low. However, the time of Meng Shan's death is indeed of concern."

"On the third day after Meng Yonghui was cremated, Meng Shan was killed." Xiao Yu'an said, "It's a coincidence."

"Xiao Man told me that Meng's house had obvious signs of cleaning, and there were no footprints on the floor—not even Meng Shan's, but the luminol test responded, and there was a small amount of blood on the ground." Mingshu said: "Now we can It is confirmed that Meng's house is the first scene. After Meng Yonghui's death, Meng Shan lived alone. There were no signs of damage to the door and no signs of climbing on the windows. There are two possibilities for the murderer to enter Meng's house. Go in, the second is to knock on the door, Meng Shan took the initiative to open the door. It is hard to say whether the two know each other, because even if they are strangers, if they knock on the door for any reason, Meng Shan may open the door."

Mingshu paused for two seconds, sorted out his thoughts, and said again: "From the door of Meng's house to the downstairs, there is a trace of dragging, which is caused by cotton cloth such as bed sheets. It is suspected that the murderer wrapped and dragged it with cotton cloth. Meng Shan's body was moved downstairs, and then transported away by some means of transportation. There is surveillance on the main road of Guangdan Road, but there is not a single camera in the alley where Meng's house is located, so it is difficult to monitor this way. Find the murderer. You can only judge from the time when the neighbors heard the noise. The murder happened between 12:11 and 11:12 on December 4. Teacher Xing judged from the distribution of the corpse spots that the murderer moved the body shortly after committing the crime. This time will be no later than [-]:[-] am."

Xiao Yuan said: "I read the autopsy report, the murderer only hit Meng Shan twice on the head, and there were 21 white dog hairs in Meng Shan's mouth."

"This is what I am very concerned about." Mingshu said: "The state of the corpse can reflect the murderer's psychology when he committed the crime. He was hit twice with a blunt object, and he was not violated and his clothes were not taken off. This shows that the murderer was very sober and calm at the time. He didn't need to vent his anger by beating repeatedly, and he was very sure that Meng Shan would die if he hammered twice. He swung the hammer just to kill Meng Shan. The possibility of committing a crime of passion can also be ruled out, because first, he Second, passion crimes are mostly accompanied by venting anger. I find it strange here that he seems to have killed Meng Shan, but he just killed."

"Break in and kill, did not violate the victim, did not take money away, kept calm from beginning to end, if you can finish the opponent twice, you will not swing the hammer a third time, and the scene will be cleaned up afterwards, even the disinfectant is ready." Xiao Yuan said: "You feel right. Such a murderer should not just kill Meng Shan. He wants to achieve a certain purpose by killing Meng Shan. This purpose must be related to the 21 he put in Meng Shan's mouth." It's about a dog hair."

Mingshu asked: "Brother, what do you associate with these 21 dog hairs?"

"The dog hair itself can be associated with many things, but the murderer didn't put the dog hair anywhere else, but put it under the victim's tongue, hiding it very deep. The stray dog ​​bit off part of the victim's tongue, but it poked the dog hair They stayed." Xiao Yuan said, "On the other hand, Fengshui Lane is a paradise for stray dogs. They not only forage there, but also spend the winter there. The murderer threw the corpse in the trash can in Fengshui Lane. Wild dogs gnawing. There is a possibility that what he wants is Meng Shan's corpse to be gnawed. Combining these two points—hiding dog hair under Meng Shan's tongue and feeding stray dogs with Meng Shan's body, this It's revenge, taunted."

"—Don't you like to eat dog meat? I'll let you eat it!" Mingshu understood Xiao Yu'an's meaning, imagined the murderer's tone and said: "But you can't eat it now! Look, you are being eaten by them! "

"The murderer may be an extreme animal protector, especially loves dogs, and Meng Shan is a dog meat lover." Xiao Yu'an said after a pause, "But this is just an inference, without evidence to support it."

Mingshu recalled the 3mm sharp wound on Meng Shan's lower lip, "The reason why the murderer left Meng Shan in Fengshui Lane, we all have the same idea - he let the stray dogs bite Meng Shan on purpose. But What's the reason for the biting? Brother, what you said just now is that the murderer loves dogs and let the dogs take revenge on Meng Shan himself, but what I thought before was that he wanted to cover the wound he cut on Meng Shan's lower lip. "

Xiao Yuan said: "According to your thinking, Meng Shan's lips are the murderer's goal. Lips represent language ability. The murderer's killing of Meng Shan may symbolize 'disaster comes from the mouth', which is similar to how some murderers cut off the victim's lips after committing a crime Tongues are similar."

"If that's the case, then Meng Shan either said something to offend the murderer, or she knew the murderer's secret. They are acquaintances." Ming Shu pressed the corners of his lips after speaking, his expression was hesitant to speak.

Xiao Yu'an: "Huh?"

"When I first found out that the face of the corpse was eaten, I thought of the possibility of the murderer 'eating people', but Mr. Xing denied it to me." Mingshu said: "The 3mm wound appeared strangely, maybe because of preconceived ideas. I still think about 'cannibalism'."

"The murderer cut off Meng Shan's lower lip and ate it." Xiao Yu'an paused for a few seconds, "Meng Shan's lower lip is very attractive to the murderer?"

With that said, Xiao Yuan walked around to the computer and clicked on a few photos of Meng Shan.

Ignoring the rustic dress, Meng Shan is actually a very beautiful woman with a small face and exquisite features. Her height of 1 meters is not short among women in Dongye City. She has a well-proportioned figure and a small dimple on her face when she smiles. , looking much younger than her actual age.

"Where is her most outstanding?" Xiao Yuan asked, "Don't think deeply, just feel it first."

"The eyebrows." Mingshu said, "Her eyebrows attract me the most. How about you?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "Eyes."

Mingshu raised his hand, "It seems that our opinions are not unified."

"In this case, her lips may be the first thing the murderer noticed." Xiao Yu'an said, "Of course, this is just a conclusion drawn from your 'cannibalism' judgment."

Mingshu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly noticed a small iron box on the table, "What is this? Rose candy? How dare you eat this?"

"Jinlan sent it to you, I just took a box and put it here." Xiao Yuan laughed, "Anyway, you will eat it when you see it."

Mingshu put the small tin box in his police trousers pocket, "I'll go to Meng Shan's company."

The Shuguang Business Building sounds grand, but it is not a formal office building, but a residential building.

Now the rent of office buildings in busy roads is getting higher year by year, not every company can afford it, so some residential buildings next to business districts or transportation hubs are gradually converted into office buildings, the head of the household makes money, and the businessmen save money , win-win.

However, these remodeled commercial buildings can’t keep up with the supporting facilities at all. The elevators are old, the garbage is often left unattended, and the safety of property is not guaranteed. Any company can settle in. You don’t know if the office next door is right? Criminals.

Fang Yuanhang and others have arrived first. When the other merchants on the 21st floor saw so many policemen coming, they all panicked and closed their doors tightly, for fear that the police would find them.

Mingshu casually looked around in the aisle, knowing what he knew.

"This is Meng Shan's workplace." Chen Jinghuan was very nervous, her voice trembling, "Meng Shan, did something happen to her?"

The workstation is composed of a separate table, a pure black mesh chair, and a computer. There is an upside-down cup on the table, which seems to have been cleaned.Xiao Man squatted beside the chair, stroking the chair inch by inch with his hands in latex gloves.

Autumn and winter are hair loss seasons. When sitting and working for a long time, the hair will easily fall on the chair, and this kind of chair is not smooth. If the hair falls on it, as long as it is not cleaned specially, it will not slip off, at most it will fall into the gap .

At present, the Meng family has been thoroughly searched. Through DNA comparison of the samples taken at home, it has been confirmed that the "faceless female corpse" is Meng Shan, but Meng Shan's face and fingerprints have all been destroyed. Material - just like Tan Guosheng many years ago.

Although this possibility is very small, Xiao Man still hopes to confirm as much as possible that the "Faceless Female Corpse" is Meng Shan. If the test material can be extracted from Meng Shan's work place, its DNA is also consistent with the "Faceless Female Corpse" Come on, then you can rest assured.

Half a minute later, Xiao Man pulled out two long hairs from the gap in the chair.

"These hairs have been falling out for a while, can we still do DNA testing?" Fang Yuanhang was a little worried.

"I'll try my best." Xiao Man stood up as he spoke, his eyes just met Chen Jinghuan's, and the other party hurriedly looked away.

The technical investigation had checked Meng Shan's communication records before, and Chen Jinghuan was the person who had the most contact with Meng Shan among all her colleagues.Fang Yuanhang looked at the two workstations, "Your seats are next to each other?"

Chen Jinghuan nodded, "We came here to work almost at the same time."

"What kind of person is Meng Shan?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "What was the last time you contacted her?"

Chen Jinghuan's eyes were red, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "Actually, I don't know Meng Shan well. She doesn't like to talk and always does things by herself. When I called her, we were talking about work. She, she Do not discuss personal matters with us."

This statement was confirmed by other employees.

In everyone's eyes, Meng Shan is a lifeless woman. She has a beautiful face, but she doesn't know how to dress herself up at all. She doesn't wear makeup, dresses in rustic clothes, works as soon as she arrives in the office, and never communicates with everyone unless necessary.

"The last contact was when she called me and said that her father had passed away and asked me to ask for leave." Chen Jinghuan's eyes moved from side to side, as if she still had something to say.

Mingshu stepped forward, pushed Fang Yuanhang away, did not ask questions immediately, but looked seriously into Chen Jinghuan's eyes.

Chen Jinghuan was even more disturbed, and whispered: "I, that's all I know."

"Come out and talk." Mingshu said, "You seem to have something to say to me."

The whole studio was filled with a strange atmosphere, Chen Jinghuan followed Mingshu to the terrace outside, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I think our boss is a bit strange."

The boss of the studio, Long Xiaoqing, hadn't shown up today. If it was normal, she would have cursed people loudly in the office because of printing errors and typesetting errors.

Chen Jinghuan remembered that the last time she said she wanted to call the police, Long Xiaoqing got angry and said that no one was allowed to call the police, and she didn't show up in the studio much after that.

"Meng Shan's funeral leave should have ended a long time ago, but she hasn't come to work. I suspect something happened and wanted to call the police, but our boss won't allow it." Chen Jinghuan lowered her head: "She, she didn't come today."

Meng Shan started working in this company three years ago. At first, she was proofreading. Later, the editors were short of manpower. She learned from others for a few days, and then she started typesetting on the computer. Because of her hard work and hard work, her income was in the entire studio. It's not bad in the American editor.

And this company, at present, seems to be the only channel for Meng Shan to contact the society.

Is this company related to Meng Shan's death?

Mingshu immediately called Fang Yuanhang over to investigate the background of Longnv Design Studio in detail, and asked Zhou Yuan to track down Long Xiaoqing's whereabouts.

Later, Xiao Man extracted DNA from two strands of hair, and after comparison, it was confirmed that it was consistent with the material from Meng Shan's home, the "Faceless Female Corpse".

When Long Xiaoqing was approached by the criminal police, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "Meng Shan only works here, I don't know her, and our whole company doesn't know her, you go look elsewhere!"

Fang Yuanhang frowned, "You are so nervous, because there is something you are worried about being found out by us?"

Long Xiaoqing's expression became even uglier.

Fang Yuanhang said: "Let's be honest, about Meng Shan, and about your Dragon Girl Design Studio."

When she was brought to the serious crime team, Long Xiaoqing's usual energy to scold the employees had disappeared, she sat listlessly under the light, "Our company first made advertising leaflets, corporate culture brochures, and some channels Magazines are also printed here. Later, some schools’ printing and teaching assistants are also printed here, which is what your police check every year for illegal printing.”

Investigating illegal printing is not the responsibility of the Serious Crime Squad. Fang Yuanhang asked: "You are afraid of exposing your business, so you know that Meng Shan is missing, but you don't want to call the police?"

Long Xiaoqing opened his mouth for a long time, "How much will I be fined for this? Will I be jailed?"

The police officer who came from the Economic Investigation Corps said, "It depends on the circumstances."

"Then if I actively confess, can I be lenient?" Long Xiaoqing said anxiously: "It's not easy to make money now, I support such a large group of people, I..."

At this time, Fang Yuanhang heard Zhou Yuan's voice coming from the earphones—there were a large number of cult brochures in the illegal printed materials of Dragon Girl Design Studio, and the original files of these manuals all came from Meng Shan's computer!

Long Xiaoqing was speechless, so he had to confess, "What I'm most afraid of is that you will find those manuals. I don't know if Meng Shan's accident is related to those manuals. The money they gave is high, saying that I only care about the design. And printing, even if there is an accident, I will never be caught. Meng Shan is not talkative, she needs money, so I let her do it, and this is the beginning. But you believe me, I have nothing to do with the cult No, the national flag is still hanging on my door, I am patriotic, more than, more than money!"

This is undoubtedly a key clue.

"Those 21 dog hairs are already evil!" Xing Mu jumped up from his seat when he found out, "If it has something to do with a cult, then it makes sense! Meng Shan might be making a pamphlet for a cult. I was implicated and killed by them!"

Once any case involves a cult, it will inevitably become a major case.

Mingshu did not hesitate and immediately reported to Xiao Yuan.

This cult is called "God in the Heart", and it preaches that people are most divine when they are most successful—that is, the "peak of life" that people often say. If you commit suicide at this time, the god in your heart will leave the mortal body and become The real god, freed from the troubles of the world, and his destiny is integrated with the universe.

But no matter how grandiose the fallacies are packaged by the believers, their essence is still to instigate suicide.

Dongye City is a developed city, and cult activities are absolutely prohibited.When exactly this "God in Heart" developed in Dongye City, and to what extent it has developed, is temporarily unknown.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau and the Special Police Corps held an emergency meeting to prepare for immediate action.

On a winter night, outside the "Chuangou" villa area in Dongcheng District, the red and blue lights of the police cars flashed alternately.

Although this is a villa area, there are basically no residents. Some new media companies and Internet celebrity incubation companies are stationed here, and they export popcorn information to the outside world day and night.

According to the clues provided by Long Xiaoqing, the main members of "Heart God" are in one of the villas.

"This 'heart god' lair is in the north. I heard about them when I went back to the north to participate in special training. There is a problem with these people." Lu Yanzhou nodded his temples as he spoke, "They don't engage in cults like other cults. Terrorist attacks, but they do it themselves, they commit suicide when they say suicide, and once a high-status person commits suicide, a bunch of people commit suicide, which is similar to the ancient sacrificial burial. The believers are completely brainwashed, thinking that it is the most honorable to follow the priest to die In the first half of the year, two-thirds of the people in a village below Xiaocheng committed suicide overnight."

Mingshu turned his face away and frowned at Lu Yanzhou.

The weather was cold, and as soon as Lu Yanzhou spoke, there was a white mist in front of him, "Fortunately, you discovered it in time. It seems that the 'Spirit of Heart' has not yet developed in our place. Once they finish deploying the net, things will be difficult to control."

The special police in black combat uniforms surrounded the stronghold of "God in Heart", and the silencer and flame suppressor gun made a short muffled sound. Soon, a group of men and women were brought out, and three of them shouted loudly—"You are against God!" blasphemy!"

"What a blasphemy!" Lu Yanzhou scolded, "No matter how noble the packaging of suicide is, it's also suicide!"

The special police team will do the work of clearing up the remaining crimes of the "God in the Heart", and the serious crime team is only responsible for investigating their relationship with Meng Shan's death.

Li Qingfei, a northerner, 39 years old, is the person in charge of the "God in Heart" Dongye stronghold.

Looking at Meng Shan's photo, Li Qingfei looked dazed, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know this person."

"Your brochures are all made by her!" Fang Yuanhang said, "How could you not know?"

Li Qingfei opened his mouth for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "If you convert to my religion, your sins can be redeemed..."

"Madman." Yi Fei pushed open the door, "Everyone has been interrogated, and they all said they have never met Meng Shan."

Mingshu folded his arms, staring at the monitor in the interrogation room, the corners of his lips slowly tightened.

The "God in Heart" has caused many cult suicides in several small cities and towns in the north, because the "God in Heart"

And all those who died were believers, and without exception, they committed suicide. At least according to the information that the police have at this stage, there is no homicide in the case related to "God in the Heart", and no dog hair appeared in the mouth of any of the deceased.

Meng Shan's death was completely different from the death caused by "God in Heart".

Could it be that Meng Shan's murder had nothing to do with "God in Heart"?Has nothing to do with Dragon Girl Design Studio?

Thinking about it, Mingshu took out a rose candy from the tin box.

It seems to have another way of thinking.

At this time, Zhou Yuan knocked on the door and squeezed in with his notebook in his arms, "Ming team, Yi team, I have a discovery here."
