Madness of the Heart

In the photo of Class 17 of the second year of high school, Gong Qiangguo found two students, one was Zhou Lan and the other was Wu Linxiao.According to him, the two came with a girl who was about the same age as them and seemed to be a classmate.

On the other side, Fang Yuanhang and the technical team found a Ford SUV in the public surveillance at the east entrance of the fireworks sales point. After detailed processing, it can be seen that Wu Linxiao is sitting in the co-pilot, and the driver is a middle-aged man. .

"Wu Linxiao?" Hearing this name, Yuan Ai raised half of his eyebrows extremely high, "I haven't had much contact with him. This person is too boring, his grades are not very good, and he can't play. I don't understand what he said. What's going on in your head all day."

Mingshu asked: "Zhou Lan is very close to him?"

"Impossible!" Yuan Ai said with certainty, "Zhou Lan and I are in the same group, how could it be possible to get together with Wu Linxiao? You must have made a mistake."

Zhao Mu and Yuan Ai said similar things, they didn't think that their close buddy Zhou Lan would have anything to do with Wu Linxiao.They think that Wu Linxiao is the most boring type of person. His family has money, but he doesn't know how to spend it, he doesn't know how to have fun, and he doesn't study hard like poor people like Xiang Haoming and Wen Chaolong. He looks lifeless. It doesn't matter if you die at any time.

Mingshu asked: "Who suggested going to the outskirts of Dongcheng District to ride motorcycles on New Year's Eve?"

Yuan Ai thought for a long time, "It should be me?"

Zhao Mu said, "It's Zhou Lan."

Mingshu asked Yuan Ai again, Yuan Ai scratched his hair for a long time, and then said: "I can't remember clearly. I must be the one who proposed to play motorcycles. I told them as soon as the holiday was off. If you can't do it in the city, you will be arrested. It’s troublesome if it’s too far away, and the suburbs of Dongcheng District are the most suitable. But I remember that I didn’t say the specific time.”

Mingshu said, "Zhou Lan set the time?"

Yuan Ai nodded, "It seems to be him."

Zhao Mu said: "I didn't want to go on New Year's Eve. If my dad came looking for me, I couldn't explain it. But Zhou Lan said, we will be adults soon, so don't be presumptuous and sorry for yourself. I just want to go racing on New Year's Eve. Cool."

Mingshu's eyes were full of light, "'Drag racing to New Year's Eve' means racing at zero o'clock?"

Yuan Ai said: "We originally planned this way, but..."

Mingshu asked, "But what?"

Yuan Ai laughed, "It's nothing, it's just racing at zero o'clock."

Mingshu patted the table, "Look up, don't stare at the table!"

Yuan Ai was taken aback, and instinctively straightened his back.

"Don't lie to me." Mingshu said, "Are you really racing at midnight?"

"I..." Yuan Ai swallowed his saliva several times, his eyes wandering, "Really, really."

"I'll tell you the truth." Zhao Mu pleaded, "But I, I have one condition."

Mingshu said coldly: "Student, you know where this is. Do you still want to talk to me about the conditions?"

Zhao Mu broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately panicked, "I, I say! But I beg you, don't tell my dad, he will kill me! On New Year's Eve, our original plan was to go racing at zero o'clock, but we played After a while, the two of them said that it's not fun to just play like this, and they need some excitement."

A clue suddenly flashed in Mingshu's mind, "Drugs? Hallucinogens?"

Zhao Mu was terrified, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "We parked the car in a private garage, which is remote, and people have already celebrated the Spring Festival, just the three of us. They just, started to suck that thing .”

Mingshu said: "What about you? You didn't smoke?"

Zhao Mu said, "I didn't!"

"Lie!" Mingshu said, "If you just watch them suck, you can't tell what happened next."

Zhao Mu was dumbfounded.

"You can't tell, it's not because you deliberately want to hide something." Ming Shu said: "It's because you lost consciousness! Same as Yuan Ai!"

Zhao Mu anxiously rubbed the corner of his clothes, "Zhou Lan gave me a bag, I couldn't help it, so..."

Mingshu asked, "When were you awake?"

Zhao Mu said: "5:23. It was still very dark at that time."

"Remember so clearly?"

"It's the first time I smoked that thing! I passed out. I was afraid that my dad would call me, so I looked at my phone right away, so I remembered the time."

Mingshu asked again: "Was Zhou Lan there at that time?"

Zhao Mu said: "Yes, yes, they smoked more than me, and they were both still asleep. I waited for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I woke them up."

Yuan Ai also finally admitted that he fell into a coma after taking hallucinogens, and said that after waking up, he drove the car together and watched the sunrise, which can be regarded as a meaningful year.

"Obviously, Zhou Lan is using Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu to prove his alibi." Xiao Yu'an retrieved an inspection report from the inspection center, "The hallucinogen Yi Fei retrieved from the clubhouse is a low-addiction drug. Drugs, if you take a small amount, you won’t be unconscious, let alone for several hours. The hallucinogen that Zhou Lan let Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu take on New Year’s Eve contains medical anesthetic ingredients. And he himself just pretended to take it.”

Ming Shu rested his right hand on his chin, and his face was not very good-looking. "All the characteristics of the scene lead to doubts about Xiang Haoming's peers, but this is actually the last thing I want to see. Why did Zhou Lan and Wu Linxiao cooperate to kill?" Xiang Haoming? According to Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu, Zhou Lan and Wu Linxiao are not even friends."

At this time, Fang Yuanhang brought back the driver who drove the Ford SUV that day.

The driver's name is Xu Pingxi, 47 years old, and he is in the business of chartering a car to solicit customers.

"It was this young man who contacted me." Xu Pingxi pointed to Wu Linxiao's photo, "He told me to go to the firecracker sales point and give me a day's chartered car and gas money. It's rare to encounter such a good thing, so I immediately agreed .”

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Where are the firecrackers pulled?"

Xu Pingxi said: "I went to Dongcheng District, in a community, what is it called... I remembered, Yiju Jinting, alas, that is a rich area. They asked me to unload the firecrackers in a private garage I wondered at the time, you said that their family is so rich, so they must have a car, why would they hire my car? Also, this fireworks sales point is not only found in the urban-rural fringe area of ​​Xicheng District, but also in Dongcheng District. What are you doing running so far? But people like me certainly don’t understand the minds of rich people.”

Mingshu immediately asked Xiao Man to take people to Yiju Jinting.If the garage has ever been stacked with firecrackers, there must be important traces left behind.

As for Zhou Lan's home, team members had already gone to search it.

trial room.

Zhou Lan's expression was almost the same as when he first faced Yi Fei, "I don't understand why you guys are holding on to me. Xiang Haoming's death has nothing to do with me. You also said that he was killed in the early morning of the first day of the new year. But I was playing motorcycles with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu on the outskirts of Dongcheng District. They can testify for me."

Mingshu said: "They have been unable to testify for you."

Zhou Lan frowned, and the corners of her lips were pressed down less obviously.

"It was you who proposed to go racing on the outskirts of Dongcheng District on New Year's Eve." Mingshu said, "As far as I know, Yuan Ai usually proposed any actions in your small group in the past. You rarely took the initiative."

"But the relationship between us is equal." Zhou Lan laughed, "You don't think I'm Yuan Ai's little guy, do you? Wang Hongye and the others are the little guy."

When he said this, Zhou Lan could not hide his contempt in his eyes, as if his classmate Wang Hongye was not worthy to be compared with him at all.

"What is the reason why you abnormally asked Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu to go racing on New Year's Eve?" Mingshu deliberately reread the word "abnormal" and said before Zhou Lan could respond, "Let me speculate—I hope they will do it for you." It proves that when Xiang Haoming was killed, you were on the outskirts of Dongcheng District."

Zhou Lan's pupils shrank under the light.

It can be seen that his psychological quality is much better than that of his peers, but he is only 17 years old, and he is facing Ming Shu, the captain of the serious crime team.

"You..." Zhou Lan said, "You have already identified me as the murderer? You have no evidence at all, and I have an alibi."

Mingshu tapped the inspection report with his index finger, "You must not understand this report, and I can't understand those complicated terms. But the conclusion can be understood by you and me."

Zhou Lan looked at the report suspiciously.

Ten seconds later, Mingshu noticed that the meridians on his neck bulged.

"Understood?" Mingshu said: "Your two partners have already admitted that you made an appointment to welcome the New Year with a racing car, but when 11 o'clock came, you proposed to use drugs to cheer up. You—or just the two of them— Zhao Mu fell into a coma after smoking the 'good thing' you provided, and Zhao Mu didn't wake up until 5:23 a.m. on the first day of the lunar new year."

Zhou Lan raised his eyes, and there was a gloomy look in those eyes that was incompatible with a young man, "We are 'taking medicine', I admit it. I provided the medicine, and I admit it. But Xiang Haoming's death has nothing to do with me When he died, I stayed with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu. You can ask Zhao Mu, I fainted more than him that day, and he and Yuan Ai woke me up together. Mr. Police, I ask you, one How can a comatose person kill someone? Tsk, you wouldn't say that I sleepwalked and killed people, right?"

"I let you read the report, but you didn't read it too carefully." Mingshu said, "The three of you have already passed the drug test. It takes time for the human body to metabolize. The anesthetic you used still remains in their bodies. It wasn't the drugs you gave Yuan Ai many times that made you unconscious, but medical anesthetics."

Zhou Lan's cheeks stiffened for a moment.

"And you don't have this kind of anesthetic in your body." Mingshu said: "After Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu passed out that day, you left the garage and went to Fanglong Alley, where you 'waited' for your target. There are actually quite a few places in Dongye City that are suitable for drag racing, and you chose the outskirts of Dongcheng District because it is the closest to Fanglong Alley."

Zhou Lan frowned, "I'm not the murderer. Why should I kill Xiang Haoming?"

"Coincidentally." Mingshu said: "What I want to know most now is why you want to kill Xiang Haoming."

Pausing for a moment, Mingshu's eyes became extremely serious, "And in such a cruel way!"

A notification sound came from the earphones suddenly, and Xiao Man gasped and said, "Xiao Ming, I'm in the garage of Wu Linxiao's house right now. The smell of gunpowder smoke is very strong. Firecrackers have been detected."

Mingshu turned off the call and looked at Zhou Lan again, "On January 1, which is the 19th of the twelfth lunar month, you, Wu Linxiao, and another girl went to a fireworks sales point in Xicheng District to buy firecrackers worth more than 27 yuan. These firecrackers It was once stored in Wu Linxiao's home, and was soon tied up on Xiang Haoming's body."

Thinking of Xiang Haoming's death, Mingshu felt intense pain and anger.

How bad can a person be to kill another person in such a cruel way?

Zhou Lan sat silently, her head drooping slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were covered by the shadow of her forehead.

Mingshu felt that the person sitting opposite him was a young monster.

Another interrogation room.

The "honest and boring" Wu Linxiao in Yuan Ai's mouth pulled out a weird smile, "Have you found the evidence?"

His tone was very relaxed, like a child playing a game saying to a found child: "I see you!"

Fang Yuanhang shivered inexplicably.

Xiao Yuan picked up the communicator and reminded: "Don't fall into his rhythm."

Fang Yuanhang took a breath, and looked at Wu Linxiao seriously, "Find evidence? You mean, admit that you killed Xiang Haoming?"

"How many years will I be sentenced to?" Wu Linxiao still had that piercing smile on his lips, "My parents didn't have time to take care of me, so they sent me to school very early. I'm the youngest student in our grade. Guess what?" How old am I?"

Fang Yuanhang has read Wu Linxiao's information, "You are over 16 years old, you need to bear criminal responsibility."

"Oh? Really?" Wu Linxiao shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, "But I'm not yet 18 years old, so I'm still a minor, so I won't be sentenced to death?"

Wu Linxiao's expression made Fang Yuanhang feel extremely uncomfortable, "Why did you kill Xiang Haoming? He is your classmate!"

Wu Linxiao tapped his temple, "Is there something wrong with your logic?"

Fang Yuanhang has never been told by a criminal suspect that there is a problem with his logic.

It is impossible for a criminal policeman with problematic logic to enter the serious crime team.

"Stop beating around the bush!" Fang Yuanhang said forcefully, "Why did you kill Xiang Haoming?"

Wu Linxiao said: "Can't you kill someone if you are a classmate? If I want to kill someone, do I still consider whether he is my classmate?"

Fang Yuanhang said: "You always have a purpose."

"The purpose..." Wu Linxiao thought for a while, then smiled: "I want to see a person in pain, I want to see what a person looks like when he is dying. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

A cold shiver swept through Fang Yuanhang's body.

"Oh, by the way, there is another reason." Wu Linxiao shook his head, "Zhou Lan said that it happened that the group of poor men in Fanglong Alley wanted to set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and the urban management approved it. Discover."

Fang Yuanhang said: "You didn't target Xiang Haoming at first?"

"Xiang Haoming, Wen Chaolong, Xiao Manman." Wu Linxiao laughed again, "Anyone is fine. Anyway, they are all useless and inferior people. They die when they die. Uh, no, Xiao Man Man we haven't thought about it. She's a girl."

"Inferior people?" Fang Yuanhang was furious, "Do you think they are inferior people? Who instilled this idea in you?"

"Isn't it?" Wu Linxiao said innocently, "Look at where they live. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and children of mice can make holes. Wow, don't you even understand this principle? Humans can use animals to make Experiment, why can't we experiment with inferior people?"

After laughing for a while, Wu Linxiao smacked his lips and said, "It's not our fault. Xiang Haoming can blame his crazy mother. I heard from Zhou Lan that it was his crazy mother who called on the poor to buy firecrackers. If it wasn't In this way, we may choose Wen Chaolong in the end. In fact, I want to 'explode' Wen Chaolong more than Xiang Haoming. Zhou Lan disagrees."

Compared with Wu Linxiao, Zhou Lan seems to be normal.

But this "normality" is just compared to another demon's madness.

"Can I ask you a question?" Zhou Lan looked at Mingshu, "What do you think is the most fun thing in this world?"

Mingshu didn't answer.

"I think it's a human being." Zhou Lan asked and answered, "Isn't there a saying called 'fighting with others is endless fun'? Xiang Haoming is a good prop. Don't look at him usually cold, in fact, he hates him very much He hates himself for being poor and wants to be one of us. Wen Chaolong is different, I am not sure that I can attract Wen Chaolong."

"Attraction?" Mingshu said: "On New Year's Eve, you lured Xiang Haoming to drink?"

Zhou Lan said: "He came out by himself that day, saving us a step."

Time flies back.

Xiang Haoming hurried out of Fanglong Alley after saying goodbye to Yang Guizhen.Soon, I met Zhou Lan who shouldn't be around.

Although they are classmates, Xiang Haoming has hardly spoken to Zhou Lan except for collecting homework.

Out of politeness, Xiang Haoming greeted Zhou Lan.

"Why alone?" Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Are you going on a date?"

At this time, Wu Linxiao and Chu Ying from class 19 also appeared.

Xiang Haoming said, "Just walk around. What about you, why are you here?"

Zhou Lan pointed to the van parked on the side of the road, "I heard that firecrackers can be set off here, let's come and have fun."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiang Haoming's face.

Zhou Lan said, "Why don't you come with us?"

Xiang Haoming said: "This is not very good."

"What's wrong?" Chu Ying smiled sweetly, "We bought a lot of wine and vegetables, and you are not too much. Anyway, you are just walking around. Since we met, we are destined. Come on, come on. !"

Xiang Haoming was still hesitating, Zhou Lan stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, "Reject invitations from beautiful women? Isn't it too embarrassing?"

Xiang Haoming shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

"Then come together!" Chu Ying and Zhou Lan pushed Xiang Haoming into the car together, "Let's have a drink first, enough wine!"

Xiang Haoming, Lai Cheng and other children from rich families have a lot of contact. Although they are not familiar with Zhou Lan and the three of them, it is not impossible to have nothing to say.

Fanglong Alley was already on the edge of the city, so they chose a more remote location, and no one passed by until early in the morning.

Xiang Haoming's alcohol capacity is not bad, but he can't stand drinking bottle after bottle.

During the urination, he glanced at the time and said to Zhou Lan, "I have to go back, or my mother will find out."

Zhou Lan said carefully: "It will be troublesome for you to go back now, right? You smell of alcohol all over your body."

Xiang Haoming said: "Too bad..."

"It's all right." Zhou Lan said with a smile: "Didn't you say that your mother is hosting the group annual meeting? She will definitely go back in the middle of the night. The light in your room is off. She shouldn't look away? Let's set off the firecrackers, At that time, the smell of alcohol on your body will also dissipate, go back quietly, your mother will not find out."

Xiang Haoming hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was waiting for him, he smiled and agreed, "Okay."
