Madness of the Heart

Luocheng, Tianyue Hot Spring Villa.

At present, Dongzhuang, which caters to ordinary people, has been closed, and only Xizhuang, which entertains the rich, is still open.

Two groups of people from Xucheng and Luocheng were doing on-site investigation, Fang Yuanhang asked: "Master, which group should we count?"

Mingshu said: "We count... the soy sauce group?"

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

I found that you look like a monkey when Director Xiao is not around!

"The Ming team in Dongye City, right?" A team member wearing a mask ran over and said in a low voice, "The Hua team is below. Are you waiting for him here, or go down and have a look?"

"The flower team is in the drain?" Ming Shu said, "Shall I go down to find him?"

The team members distributed masks and gloves to Mingshu and Fang Yuanhang, and led the way down.

Ming Shu called Hua Chong—although it was Liu Zhiqin who answered—and mentioned that he was interested in the corpse dismemberment case in Los Angeles. Hua Chong seemed to be very busy, so he didn't ask much, and asked him to come at his convenience.

Lai Xiuliang's case has now hit a dead end. He wondered what he might be able to find in Los Angeles, so after discussing with Yi Fei, he brought Fang Yuanhang to Los Angeles.

Of course, before setting off, he and Xiao Yu'an got to know each other.

Xiao Yu'an was busy at both ends of the capital, one was because of the case, and the other was because of Xiao Jincheng.

The last time Xiao Jincheng came to Dongye City and secretly asked his father to take care of him, Mingshu had a bad feeling.Sure enough, Xiao Jincheng was seriously injured. Although he was rescued and his condition is still stable, he still hasn't woken up.

The old man of the Xiao family was overly worried and was admitted to the hospital. Xiao Yu'an had to go to the hospital to see Xiao Jincheng and the old man every day.

If it weren't for the heavy burden on his shoulders and he couldn't walk away, Mingshu would already be in the capital now.

He and Xiao Jincheng fought since they were young, and they stopped fighting as adults, and the chances of seeing each other became less and less, but they still quarreled every time they met.

Like everyone in the Xiao family, he hoped that Xiao Jincheng would wake up quickly.

"It's still the same." Xiao Yu'an's voice sounded a little tired, "The doctor said to prepare for the worst."

Mingshu sighed, feeling depressed, "A bastard like Xiao Jincheng, how can he not survive and harm the world?"

Both of them were silent for a while, Xiao Yu'an asked about the case, Ming Shu paused for a moment, and forced himself to work, "You know Yin Zhen's case, right?"

Vicious cases across the country will be collected into the special operations team, and what Xiao Yuan holds in his hand is the preliminary investigation data of this case.

"I know." Xiao Yu'an guessed Mingshu's mind at once, "Are you planning to go to Los Angeles?"

"Well." Mingshu said: "This case has some special features, and it may be related to the Lai Xiuliang case we are investigating."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Then go. It just so happens that the Los Angeles police have helped us a lot before, and you can also help them in the past."

Mingshu said: "By the way, brother, Zhou Lan and the others..."

"Among the juvenile crimes across the country, there is more than one case where firecrackers were tied to the victim and lit." Xiao Yuan said: "The age is relaxed, and similar perpetrators range from 20 to 55 years old."

Mingshu lowered the corner of his lips subconsciously.

"However, in these cases, the death of the victim is very small. You also know that simply lighting firecrackers will not kill people." Xiao Yuan said: "These cases involve bullying and bullying."

Mingshu asked: "What about our case?"

"There is no conclusion yet." Xiao Yu'an said: "Further investigation is needed."

Mingshu nodded, realizing that Xiao Yuan was not in front of him, he said "hmm" again, and asked, "Brother, why is your voice wrong?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "Huh? It's okay."

Mingshu said, "If I'm not by your side, you won't know how to take care of yourself."

Xiao Yu'an smiled warmly, "Shouldn't I tell you this?"

When approaching the drain, Mingshu smelled a strong odor.

Fang Yuanhang wrinkled his nose and said in a low voice, "It's too strong!"

The team member who led the way said: "It's almost scattered now, the ground is not ventilated, high temperature and high humidity, the battle when I first came down... forget it, I have been to so many scenes, and I am considered a "veteran" 'Yes, I vomited before it came out."

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

He finally understood why he was so strong.

It turned out that in addition to the rotten smell, there was also the smell of vomit from colleagues.

Mingshu had already put on a mask, but his eyelids twitched a few times due to the smoke.

The criminal police have been working for a long time, and they all understand that masks are actually not very effective. In many cases, they wear three or four layers, just for psychological comfort.

The only things that can really block the smell are protective clothing and masks, but this kind of equipment is not available every time you appear on the scene, and it is troublesome to wear, and it also affects the investigation.

After Mingshu entered the drainage channel, he realized that it was quite different from what he had imagined.

Tianyue Hot Spring Villa has a lot of money and wealth, and the drainage channel is built like an intertwined tunnel, with a height of 2 meters 4 and a width of different widths. The width of the place where the corpse was found is about 1 meter 2, which is relatively narrow in the entire drainage channel.

Hua Chong saw Mingshu and waved his hands.

Mingshu walked over, "Flower team, excuse me."

"What are you bothering me?" Hua Chong said, "You come to help me investigate the case, I wish for it."

People's adaptability is really terrible. Fang Yuanhang felt that when he was close to the drain, he was about to faint, but now that he was walking in the drain, he was used to the smell, and he no longer felt uncomfortable.

And his master is even better, not only did not feel uncomfortable, but also discussed with Hua Chong.

"The murderer did not leave any traces. In other words, the murderer originally left footprints and fingerprints, but in this humid environment, the footprints and fingerprints all disappeared." Hua Chong said: "As for those samples that can be tested for DNA, It was not found at the scene."

Ming Shu looked at a door about ten meters away, "Are there many such doors in the entire drainage channel?"

"There are 78 in total." Hua Chong felt helpless, "There are 78 communities in Dongzhuang, and each community can enter the drainage channel. All of them are open, and there is no monitoring inside and outside the drainage channel. In addition, the time for throwing the corpses is the Spring Festival, when the flow of people is the largest, it is not easy to detect."

Mingshu did his homework and asked, "Are the drainage channels between Dongzhuang and Xizhuang connected?"

Hua Chong shook his head, "Although Dongzhuang and Xizhuang belong to Tianyue Hot Spring Villa, they are actually two completely different marketing systems, and they are far apart from each other."

Mingshu frowned in thought.

Hua Chong turned sideways, "Ming team, do you care about Xizhuang?"

Mingshu said: "I heard that the per capita consumption there is so high that most people can't afford to go there."

"Yes, Xizhuang receives 'high-end' guests."

"Then Yin Zhen is the target guest of Xizhuang."

People can't stay in the drain for too long, so Hua Chong found a door and went up with Ming Shu.

The sober air immediately poured into the lungs, and Mingshu quickly took off the mask.

"I've considered this question. Yin Zhen's corpse appeared in Tianyue Hot Spring Villa. Did she come here on her own initiative and was killed? Or was she killed in another place and was brought here by the murderer to throw her body?" Hua Chong Said: "Both scenarios are possible. The conclusion of the autopsy is that Yin Zhen was dismembered within 3 hours of death, and the time of dumping the body was roughly 12 hours after death. Based on the information we have so far, Yin Zhen's The behavior is quite weird. Maybe she came to Tianyue Hot Spring Villa on her own initiative. Xizhuang was built for people like her. In this way, Xizhuang may be the first scene. But unfortunately, we did not find it in Xizhuang Clues related to the murder."

Mingshu thought for a while, "If the first possibility is ruled out first, only the latter is considered. Why did the murderer throw the body parts into the drainage channel of Dongzhuang?"

"The inside of the drain is humid and the temperature is high, which can destroy the clues on the body parts and interfere with the police's judgment." Hua Chong said and frowned, "But these may not be the real purpose of the murderer. And the drain is not conducive to hiding Corpse, once the smell dissipates, it will be found immediately."

Mingshu said: "Yes, if you just want to interfere with the police, the murderer has a better choice. If you want to conceal the case, then you should not throw the body parts in the drain. The murderer is taking a risk and throwing the body in full view The sewers can give the murderer some kind of psychological pleasure."

Hua Chong looked at the tree with petals floating by the roadside.

That is pear blossom.

And the plum blossoms next to it are in full bloom.

Pear blossoms and plum blossoms, one blooms in spring and the other blooms in winter, and it is rare to see them bloom at the same time.

"I am afraid that the murderer is not only pursuing to throw the body in full view." Hua Chong said: "The drainage channel may have another meaning."

Mingshu is new here and doesn't have a deep understanding of the case, "Another meaning?"

"Do you know what is the most popular in this kind of hot spring pool with a large flow of people?" Hua Chong asked.

Mingshu doesn't like to go to hot springs, the only few times he and Xiao Yu'an went on vacation in hot spring villas in other places, they are all real hot spring water, one pool per family, there is no such thing as a group of people crowding together to "take a bath".

"You may not be able to imagine it." Hua Chong said, "It's urine."

Mingshu's eyes instantly opened.

"According to the staff, many middle-aged and elderly guests are reluctant to move after entering the pool. In a pool with more than 30 people, no one gets up for two or three hours." Hua Chong said: "Some of them directly urinate in the water."

Mingshu showed an incomprehensible expression.

Hua Chong continued: "The drain was cleaned after a while, and the cleaner said that it smelled of urine all the year round. I was wondering if the murderer chose to throw the body in the drain because he wanted to humiliate Yin Zhen? No body parts were found, and she was soaked in urine—although the urine was a tiny fraction compared to the spring water it was poured into."

Mingshu said: "If you want to humiliate the dead with excrement, then the sewers in the city are a better choice."

"But the sewers in the city don't have the feature of 'high temperature'." Hua Chong said and shook his head, "This is just my idea, and there is no evidence to support it. The murderer may not have thought so much at all. Team Ming .”

Mingshu raised his eyes, "Huh?"

Unknowingly, Hua Chong had already walked to the side of the plum blossom tree, with a few pear blossoms floating down on his head, and touched a plum blossom branch with his right hand.

Mingshu somehow finds this picture very interesting——

As soon as they left the tragic and foul-smelling corpse throwing scene, they were given a spring breeze. The man who led the case was talking about the bloody case and cold and cruel inferences one moment ago, and was brushed all over by spring flowers in the next moment. Also holding a fragrant plum blossom.

"I heard that Dongye City also has unsolved cases. A vicious case occurred on New Year's Eve. You haven't rested for the entire holiday. Director Xiao has rushed to the special operations team a few days ago." Hua Chong said: "You come to Luoyang at this time The city is looking for me, isn't it just because you want to help me solve the case?"

Mingshu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Nothing can fool you."

"I heard it when you called me." Hua Chong asked, "Is the case in Dongye City related to Yin Zhen's case?"

"Whether there is a connection or not, I'm still not sure yet." Mingshu said, "Flower Team, do you still remember that I told you and Mr. Liu before the Spring Festival that we might cooperate?"

"of course I remember."

"Before and after the Spring Festival, several cases I encountered were related to 'rich and poor'."

Mingshu did not explicitly mention the cases of He Yang and Hu Ying, but explained the cases of Zhou Lan and Lai Xiuliang in detail.

Hua Chong was silent for a while after listening, "Zhou Lan was born in a wealthy family, looked down on poor classmates, and killed Xiang Haoming in an extremely cruel way. On the other hand, Lai Xiuliang, who was relatively wealthy, was also killed in an extremely cruel way. Initially, the motivation was directed towards 'hatred of the rich'. Yin Zhen is even richer, and he is the type of richer that Lai Xiuliang can't match."

Mingshu said: "The most important thing is that as soon as we came into contact with the case, we made a comprehensive review of Lai Xiuliang's interpersonal relationship, but the result of the investigation was to exclude all those who had the motive for committing the crime. This is similar to Yin Zhen."

Hua Chong said: "It seems that you have deduced the core issue of Yin Zhen's case based on media reports."

Mingshu said: "I don't know the specific autopsy results yet."

The police car drove towards the city bureau, and the road was full of spring.

But the criminal police were not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of early spring.

Hua Chong handed over the autopsy report to Ming Shu, took off his coat, shook, and found a piece of pear blossom hidden in the collar.

Ming Shu turned over three pages, and suddenly frowned, "Is there a life reaction to the cut?"

"Not all of them. A total of 17 were identified as injuries during his lifetime." Hua Chong poured two cups of hot water, "They were located on the thighs and arms respectively, but there were no deadly parts such as the chest, abdomen, neck, and head."

Mingshu took the water and was scalded to the brim.

Hua Chong: "..."

Mingshu: "..."

Are you messing with me?

"Here to warm your hands." Hua Chong said, "I didn't expect you to drink it in one gulp."

Mingshu said, "I suspect you did it on purpose."

Because if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to willow, you will be black.

Hua Chong had no choice but to fetch a cup of warm water, "I'm not thoughtful enough, I apologize."

Mingshu was just talking, and didn't really care about it in his heart. He drank warm water and picked up the autopsy report, "The cause of death was a cervical spine fracture caused by a blunt instrument, but the injuries to both arms and legs occurred before the cervical spine fracture. It exists. The murderer did not cut off the fatal part, did he intentionally make Yin Zhen suffer?"

"It may also be a practice before dismembering the body." Hua Chong said: "I tend to think that the murderer is abusing Yin Zhen, and it is extremely cruel abuse."

Mingshu's pupils constricted slightly, and Xiang Haoming's death and Lai Xiuliang's death flashed in his mind, "Who would hate Yin Zhen so much? Can pure hatred do this? This murder against Yin Zhen , since November last year."

Hua Chong said: "Moreover, Yin Zhen took the initiative to escape from a world that was safe for her, and entered the net that the murderer woven for her."

"Yin Zhen's behavior made me suddenly think of a possibility!" Ming Shu raised his finger, "When she left Xucheng and went to Sifeng City, she never thought that she would become a victim."

Hua Chong looked at Mingshu, "She thinks that she is an ally with the murderer, and what they are going to do must be kept secret from the outside world. She is full of expectations and has arranged everything for this. Unexpectedly, in the end, she became the murderer who killed her." accomplice."

"The murderer is someone who has never appeared in her social circle." Mingshu said: "Only she knows the existence of the murderer."

The phone rang in the police uniform, and a message from a stranger was sent in.

After more than ten minutes, Mingshu saw——

"Pay attention to Zhou Ping of the SWAT team."

·

In the south of Han Province, Yingcheng.

This is a small city that has declined after corporate reforms. There are many abandoned factories and roads. Many locals have left, and the rest live a mediocre life.

Time moves very slowly here.

A black car stopped in front of an inconspicuous residential building, the door opened, and Liang Zhao got down from the back seat.

He was wearing a vintage leather jacket—this kind of dress was in tune with the small town, and his eyes were full of guard.

Zhou Shan got off the co-pilot, pointed to the upstairs, "It's here."

The residential building used to be housing for employees. It has been built for at least 30 years. It is old and the corridors are very dark.

The two stopped in front of a door on the third floor, Zhou Shan took the key to open the door, the door opened with a "creak", and the smell of old furniture gushed out from inside.

Apparently, no one was in the room.

Zhou Shan turned on the light, "Mr. Liang, you're staying here for now, what's the matter..."

"Where's your boss?" Liang Zhao said, "I want to see him."

Zhou Shan smiled, "Mr. He doesn't show up now."

"Inconvenient?" Liang Zhao sneered coldly, "It's convenient to meet other people, why is it inconvenient when it's my turn?"

Zhou Shan said: "Mr. Liang, I will convey all your requests to Mr. He. As long as you complete the 'task' as agreed, Mr. He will fulfill all your wishes."

Liang Zhao didn't mind the dust on the sofa, sat down short, raised his legs and said, "I want to meet people first."

Zhou Shan maintained his usual smile, "I'm afraid..."

"It was you who found me." Liang Zhao's eyes became dark, looking at Zhou Shan from below, "Mr. He, Mr. He, you have said Mr. He eight hundred times, but this Mr. He has not appeared in front of me. "

After a pause of about ten seconds, Liang Zhao continued, "How do I know, is this Mr. He a character you made up?"

Zhou Shan shook his head, "Mr. Liang, you are joking."

"Joke?"

"If you don't know my details, why did you come here with me?"

Liang Zhao leaned against the cushion and didn't speak.

"Mr. He used to have a bad pet, so he bit Mr. He instead, which made Mr. He a little passive." Zhou Shan said, "It's really inconvenient for Mr. He to come forward now, so I will do everything for me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Liang Zhao said, "If you want to cooperate with me, let me meet your Mr. He."
