Madness of the Heart

Los Angeles City Bureau, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"'Master Jun', formerly known as Liu Shunjun, has been domineering in Ningzhi City for many years. He is relatively 'smart' and has never touched drugs and guns, but he has done many other evil things." Hua Chong put a document on the table, "Both A month ago, the special police detachment carried out an all-out "sweeping crime" in Ningzhi City, Liu Shunjun and his men were all caught up, and they are all locked up in the detention center now. Is Liu Shunjun related to the case you are investigating recently?"

Mingshu browsed the information quickly, then shook his head after a while, "I'm not sure."

Hu Ying once said that she was stopped by He Yang's secretary on the road and was driven to He Yang's private estate.He Yang knew that he was in urgent need of a life-saving money and had played the game of secret rooms. He had known for a long time that he had no other choice, and he would definitely agree to participate in the game in order to save Hu Yao.

Then the background of Sheng Zhi, another participant in the game, must also be mastered by He Yang.

Is it possible that Gu Zhenghan owed money a trap set up by He Yang?Is Liu Shunjun one of He Yang's subordinates?They dug a trap, waiting for Sheng Zhi to jump down?

On the way from Ningzhi City to Los Angeles City Bureau, Mingshu has been thinking about these issues.

But now it seems that Liu Shunjun's loan to Gu Zhenghan may have nothing to do with He Yang.Liu Shunjun is the most common type of hooligan in small cities, perhaps he is not qualified to be He Yang's minion at all.

Gu Zhenghan's line seems to have been broken after checking here.

"Encountered a difficult case?" Hua Chong asked.

The police circles of Dongye City and Los Angeles City cooperate frequently, and Mingshu and Hua Chong have a good friendship, but everything is disciplined, and the shady scenes behind Huying, Sheng Zhi, and He Yang cannot be fully explained to the Los Angeles police yet.

Mingshu took a long breath, remembering what he had discussed with Yi Fei after the interrogation of Chi Yan.

Chi Yan's psychology was extremely distorted, and his criminal motives were unimaginable, but it was difficult for any normal person to think of his line at the beginning of the crime.And interrogating him is also a hard job. Even a criminal policeman like Yi Fei, who is not inexperienced, slowed down for a long time after leaving the interrogation room.

And Hua Chong is especially good at dealing with this kind of person, and can even immerse himself in the emotions of this kind of person.

Mingshu said: "By the way, Team Hua, I have something to ask you."

Hua Chong laughed, "If you have anything to say, don't be polite to me."

"You are very good at bringing yourself into the emotions of the suspect. As soon as the murder happened, you imagined yourself as the murderer. This is very helpful for the investigation of the case, because a criminal policeman, the more he can think from the perspective of the murderer, The sooner the case can be solved, and sometimes even the next tragedy can be stopped in time.” Mingshu changed the subject: “However, many criminal policemen will have serious psychological problems because of this, or they will be stuck in it and cannot get out, or Convinced by the killer's emotions, he ends up committing crimes."

Hua Chong said, "Do you think I can't get out, or am I being assimilated by criminals?"

Mingshu smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are completely unaffected that I asked you for advice?"

Hua Chong stood up from his seat and took a few steps around the desk, "The word 'completely' is not accurate. I think that no one can be completely unaffected after being immersed in the murderer's emotions."

Mingshu nodded, "But what you have shown is that you are not affected."

"I adjusted faster?" Hua Chong leaned against the table, holding his hands in front of his chest.

He is older than Mingshu, and he is more mature in his behavior, but perhaps because he has participated in anti-terrorism at the border, he always has a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness and fearless heroic spirit, which makes him look both calm and courageous. There is absolutely no oldness added by the years.

A wonderful character.

Mingshu stared at Hua Chong's profile for a while, "How to adjust?"

"Hmm..." Hua Chong thought about it seriously, as if thinking of someone, his eyes suddenly became gentle, "I also had a difficult time adjusting. A few years ago, I was still working as a member of the Serious Crime Squad. My boss takes good care of me, and my teammates are not bad, but there are very few people who can follow my thinking."

After a short pause, Hua Chong changed his phrase, "No one can follow my train of thought."

Mingshu blinked.

"I was transferred from the special police detachment to the criminal police detachment, you know that." Hua Chong said: "Actually, at the earliest, I was not used to bringing myself into criminals. But there is not much help around me, I think To speed up the efficiency of solving the case, we can only seek changes. Bringing myself into the murderer is the most effective method I can think of."

Mingshu was a little surprised.

"It was actually very painful at the time. As a normal person, I forced myself into that distorted psychology and forced myself to digest and understand. The case was solved, but I couldn't get out. Several times I felt that I was You're a pervert." Hua Chong took a sip of tea and continued: "But I'm the captain of the serious crime team, and my team members are all looking at me, so I absolutely can't show it."

Mingshu said, "Are you carrying it hard?"

"There is no other way but to fight hard." Hua Chong smiled, "As time goes by, I seem to get used to it. Apart from insomnia and nightmares after solving a case, there is no worse reaction. But nightmares are really annoying. , In the dream, I either witnessed others being killed and I was helpless, or I killed myself."

Mingshu asked: "Then now..."

Hua Chong's eyes were soft, reflecting the light coming in from the window, "It won't happen now."

"Ok?"

"Because someone helped me share it."

Mingshu wanted to ask more, but the door of the captain's office was pushed open.

Ming Shu and Hua Chong looked at the past at the same time.

Being able to enter the captain's office without knocking may be a "perk" only available to Liu Zhiqin.The door was already open, and Liu Zhiqin knocked on the door pretendingly, "It turns out that Xiao Ming is here."

Mingshu didn't know why his unqualified title came to Los Angeles, and his eyelids twitched when he heard that, "Ms. Liu, are you looking for the flower team again?"

"What's 'again'?" Liu Zhiqin seemed to have just come back from the outside, with a chill in his long overcoat, "I'm a colleague of the flower team, and I'm just here to report to him about work."

From the corner of his eyes, Mingshu caught a glimpse of an indulgent smile on the corner of Hua Chong's lips.

Yes, it is indulgence.

Mingshu is very sure that Hua Chong has always been conniving towards Liu Zhiqin.

"Then I'll go first." Mingshu said, "I'll go to the detention center to meet Liu Shunjun."

Hua Chong asked: "Can't go back to Dongye tonight?"

Mingshu wanted to rush back, but it was too late, "I have to rest in Los Angeles for one night."

Hua Chong said: "It's rare to come, let's have dinner together tonight?"

Mingshu suddenly remembered that he owed Liu Zhiqin a drink, so he quickly agreed, and planned to pay it tonight, so that Liu Zhiqin would not have to talk about his test scores all the time.

"I'm not familiar with Los Angeles, you can choose a place, I invite you."

"No." Liu Zhiqin smiled and said, "Today is not the time."

Mingshu felt that he and Liu would never get together, "The flower team said to have dinner together tonight, why isn't it the right time? When do you want it? Do I have to send you an invitation?"

"What you promised at the beginning was to invite you to drink." Liu Zhiqin had reason, "But now is the busiest time at the end of the year, and you criminal policemen from the serious crime team of Dongye City dare to drink after a simple meal?"

Ming Shu was right when he thought about it, he and Xiao Yu'an haven't had a drink at home for a long time.

Hua Chong said to Liu Zhiqin: "Brother Xiaoliu, don't embarrass Team Ming, drink and drink whenever you see Team Ming, you drink very well?"

After speaking, he said to Mingshu: "Actually, it's just a simple meal. You are a guest, so of course I invite you."

"That won't work!" Mingshu said hastily.

"That's it." Hua Chong said: "I will arrange someone to accompany you to the detention center, and you will come back to find me at night. Brother Xiaoliu and I are on duty, and we will be here no matter how late it is."

It was getting late, Mingshu and Fang Yuanhang immediately left for the detention center and met Liu Shunjun.

This person is in his 40s, with a fierce look on his face, and he is not afraid to look at the police, as if he has done all the evil things and has completely turned away.

"Gu Zhenghan, do you still remember?" Mingshu asked.

Liu Shunjun's broken eyebrows were raised high, "Who?"

Mingshu said: "Zeng Yong, you once gave him a loan shark."

"Tsk, that little boy." Liu Shunjun wiped his face, "I remember."

Mingshu deliberately said in a firm tone: "Someone ordered you to lend money to him."

"Instigate?" Liu Shunjun immediately became excited, "Ningzhi City is my territory, who dares to instruct me?"

Mingshu said: "Boss Liu's 'business' is so big, and the whole Ningzhi City is your network, how can you even remember a little boy so clearly?"

Liu Shunjun grinned his yellow teeth, "200 million is quite a lot, he almost didn't pay it back, I remember things related to money most clearly."

Mingshu said: "He really took the initiative to ask you to borrow money?"

"You don't believe it?" Liu Shunjun said, "Then I have to ask you, who the hell said that I was ordered to lend money? I have spent half my life in Ningzhi City, but I have never been ordered by anyone!"

Mingshu reported He Yang's secretary's name, "Zhou Shan."

Liu Shunjun asked impatiently, "Who?"

Mingshu sighed inwardly.When he got Liu Shunjun's information from Hua Chong, he generally thought that this person had nothing to do with He Yang. Now that he met face to face and asked a few questions, he was able to confirm that Liu Shunjun was not a trap arranged by He Yang for Sheng Zhi.

It was past 11 o'clock at night when I returned to the Los Angeles City Bureau. The "light meal" Hua Chong mentioned turned out to be a hot pot opposite the City Bureau. Come to order and continue to eat.

On a cold day, the hot white air and fragrance are more attractive than anything else.

Fang Yuanhang was on the go all day, and he moved his chopsticks as soon as he sat down, without being polite at all.

Mingshu smiled and pushed his apprentice, "You are quite familiar."

Fang Yuanhang took away the beef that was hot by someone, "They are all my own, why should I be polite."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Xiao Fang understands people."

Hua Chong poured hot soybean milk into the empty cup, and when he handed it to Ming Shu, he said, "It's just boiled, Xiao Ming, be careful it's hot."

Ming Shu was almost choked, "Flower Team, why are you Xiaoming Xiaoming?"

Hua Chongxiao: "What's the matter, there's nothing wrong with this title."

"You call me apprentice Xiao Fang, or Xiao Ming?" Ming Shu said, "Xiao Fang Xiaoming, am I of the same generation as this guy?"

Fang Yuanhang couldn't help but choke, "Master, your seniority is high, your seniority is high, I won't fight with you!"

"You are the leader of the serious crime team, you even care about this?" Liu Zhiqin said, "Xiao Ming, you shouldn't."

Mingshu has always been good at speaking, but when he was in the special operations team, Liu Zhiqin was a teacher, and he was a student, and the official rank was overwhelming, so he never said Liu Zhiqin.

"Ms. Liu, for the sake of the flower team, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Ming Shu picked up his own soy milk, and gave Liu Zhiqin a white look, "You just rely on the flower team to spoil you."

As soon as these words came out, the table was suddenly quiet.

Until Fang Yuanhang swallowed a whole hot coriander ball.

"I'm scalding to death! I'm scalding to death! Master, you are about to lose your lovely apprentice!"

Mingshu threw Fang Yuanhang an unopened bottle of mineral water, "Remove the word 'cute' for me."

The hot pot restaurant is not closed, and in the middle of the night, there are still policemen who have finished their patrols to fill their stomachs.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin went back to the city bureau, Mingshu went to a hotel near the city bureau, before parting, Mingshu said: "I have a hunch."

Liu Zhiqin asked: "What premonition?"

Mingshu spit out a cloud of white mist and shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe we will have to cooperate soon."

Hua Chong said: "Although I don't want a case that requires our cooperation to solve. But if it does happen, the Los Angeles police will go all out."

The next day, Mingshu and Fang Yuanhang returned to Dongye City.

In Dongye City, like Los Angeles City, the leaders had to take the lead on duty around the Spring Festival.Mingshu didn't go to the bureau immediately, and planned to go home to pack some clothes, but when he opened the door, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Yuan was actually at home.

"Brother." Ming Shu knocked on the bathroom door, "Have you been up all night?"

He was too aware of Xiao Yuan's schedule, usually he would only take a shower at this time after staying up late.

"En." Xiao Yu'an's voice came together with the sound of water, "Have you eaten yet?"

Mingshu doesn't like breakfast outside, and he left the hotel before dawn today, catching the earliest ordinary high-speed train.

"No, what about you?" Mingshu asked.

"Order a takeaway for two." Xiao Yuan said, "I didn't eat either."

Mingshu nodded, leaning against the wall outside the bathroom while ordering takeaway, he said, "What did you do last night?"

"The second team and the Beicheng branch have a joint operation, and I went to the scene." Xiao Yu'an said, "What did you gain there?"

Mingshu clicked, briefly explained what he found in Los Angeles, and sighed: "If Sheng Zhi knew that Gu Zhenghan got married in less than a year and was about to become a father, would he regret it?" , Will you feel worthless for your decision?"

The door of the bathroom opened, and Xiao Yu'an came out full of steam, "I think he already regretted it when he learned about the content of the game."

The air conditioner was not turned on in the living room, and it was chilly. Xiao Yuan was only wearing a bathrobe, with drops of water hanging around his neck.

Mingshu stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged Xiao Yuan, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner when you come back? Is it cold? My boyfriend will keep you warm."

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "I just came back, I forgot."

Mingshu hugged her tightly and held his arms tightly, "Do you feel the warmth of your boyfriend?"

Xiao Yuan patted his lower back, "Is this compensation?"

Mingshu didn't react for a while, "What compensation?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "I didn't give me compensation for warming the bed yesterday."

"Oh, I understand." Mingshu said "tsk", "I said why you stayed up all night and only came back now. It turned out that it was because I was not at home, and you were afraid to come back and guard the empty room alone."

Xiao Yuan followed along, "Why are you so smart?"

Mingshu was very busy yesterday, and the consumption on the road alone was too much for him. He hardly fell asleep for a few hours at night. Now that he had been on Xiao Yu'an for a while, he finally regained his energy and let him go, "I'll go drive Air conditioner, I'll blow dry your hair later."

There were too few takeaways in the morning to take orders, and when the breakfast and lunch arrived, Mingshu had already rushed into the bathroom to take a shower because he couldn't wait.

Xiao Yuan looked at the two pockets of fish fillet porridge and soup dumplings, poured the two portions of porridge into a large porcelain bowl, heated it in the microwave, and fried two eggs before Mingshu finished washing.

Mingshu changed into pajamas, "Is there any extra meal?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "I'm afraid you won't be full."

There wasn't much food, so the two settled it by standing in the kitchen.While drinking the porridge, Mingshu asked, "You won't be going to the bureau for a while, will you?"

"Well, take a break and go in the afternoon." Xiao Yu'an said, "Otherwise, I won't be back."

Mingshu said: "Then you clean up the kitchen later."

They live together, and although there is no clear division of labor for housework, Mingshu is "clumsy" and can't cook, so Mingshu usually does the dishes and tables after meals.

However, Mingshu would play tricks sometimes, and leave the job of washing dishes and tables to Xiao Yuan.

It's all trivial matters, Xiao Yuan doesn't care about him, "Okay."

Ming Shu leaned over and put one hand around Xiao Yu'an's neck, "Brother, do you spoil me too much?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "Too much?"

Mingshu quickly shook his head, "Who would think too much?"

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and touched Mingshu's forehead.

It's a rare opportunity for the two of them to stick together in the morning, so it's inevitable that they get bored.

Mingshu finished his portion, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, "Brother, I leave the kitchen to you."

They are all takeaway boxes, and there is nothing to clean up. The only thing that needs to be washed is the big porcelain bowl for the porridge and two pairs of chopsticks.

Xiao Yuan went out to throw out the trash, wiped off the stains on the table, and as soon as he walked to the bedroom, he saw a hill raised by the quilt.

"Brother, I'll warm the quilt for you." Ming Shu wrapped the quilt tightly, only his eyes were exposed, his voice was muffled by the quilt, which sounded very buzzing.

Xiao Yu'an walked in, "That's why you asked me to clean up the kitchen?"

"That's right." Mingshu half propped up his body, "It's already hot, why don't you come in and feel it?"

Xiao Yuan kissed him on the tip of his nose, "This is too sweet."

"Who told me to spoil you." Mingshu moved aside, and when Xiao Yuan lay down in the place where he had just slept, he quickly pulled the quilt tight, leaned over and kissed Xiao Yuan, from forehead to lips, and finally sat up, " Have you felt the love of your boyfriend?"

Xiao Yu'an touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "I feel it."

Ming Shu raised his eyebrows, sat on the edge of the bed and put on his slippers, "Then you have a good sleep, I'll go to the bureau first."

As soon as the words fell, a malicious hand grabbed her waist.Mingshu fell backwards and let out an "ouch" with a smile.

When they arrived at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, it was already more than an hour later than planned.
