Madness of the Heart

Red-eye flights are the most frustrating thing. The time is already late, and it is often late.

Xiao Yuan came back from the capital, more than two hours late, and it was already 4 o'clock in the morning when he arrived.

Although Dongye City is enjoying a warm spring these days, it is still cold in the middle of the night.Ming Shu wrapped himself in a coat in the car and slept for a while. He couldn't sleep well. He was still thinking about the case while half asleep. He woke up several times in the middle. Looking at the time, it was not yet the point where Xiao Yuan landed.

Later, he really didn't feel sleepy anymore, so Mingshu simply locked the car and walked to the platform outside the terminal hall.

3:[-] in the morning is probably the quietest time in the city, but the surrounding area of ​​the airport is still brightly lit and people are hurrying.Mingshu put his hands in the pockets of his coat, squinting at the people in the lights, maybe because he was more emotional at night, he felt a little emotional in his heart.

Demons are not the only ones haunting the night, there are also countless ordinary people.

Maybe no one wants to run around outside in the cold spring night, but there are always so many people who cannot help themselves, some are forced by life, and some are caused by responsibility.

It's not easy to live your life in peace and stability, you don't even know if the person you passed by just now is someone like you or a demon in human skin.

In their eyes, you may be just an insignificant bug.They laugh at your struggles and treat you like a toy for fun, and all your pains are their food.

It is the duty of the police to protect these ordinary people.

Even the police are just ordinary people.

Mingshu exhaled a white breath, looked at the time again, and walked towards the domestic arrival.

Xiao Yu'an's flight finally arrived, and there were very few people who met him at the baggage unloading gate, including Ming Shu, there were only five people.

Ming Shu leaned over to look up the escalator, but he was not in a hurry, there was no emotion on his face, as if he was just picking up a colleague with a normal relationship.

But when Xiao Yu'an's figure appeared on the top of the escalator, the light in Mingshu's eyes suddenly brightened, the corners of his lips rose, and nostalgia could not be suppressed at all.

Xiao Yu'an also saw him, raised his right hand, switched from the right side of the escalator to the left side, and walked down quickly.

After the luggage was checked in, Xiao Yuan only had one carry-on bag.Ming Shu went up to meet him, Xiao Yu'an wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed his lips.

The unloading hall is too empty, only the footsteps of sporadic passengers, and the "bang bang" sound of luggage falling into the conveyor belt.

This kiss was cold and contained a bit of tired tenderness, Xiao Yu'an's hand went up along Ming Shu's back, and finally clasped the back of his neck.The kiss was over, but the two did not separate immediately.

Xiao Yu'an pressed his forehead against Ming Shu's, and the tips of his noses touched together.

Mingshu has been outside for a long time with the wind blowing, his forehead and the tip of his nose are cool, and his breath is also wrapped in a ray of cold air.

Xiao Yu'an just got off the plane, breathing warm.

The breaths of the two were entangled, and Mingshu suddenly felt the long-lost relaxation, and his waist loosened, and he softened into Xiao Yu'an's arms.

Xiao Yu'an immediately hugged him and coaxed him softly, "Thank you, Team Ming."

Ming Shu smiled and pecked Xiao Yu'an's lips, "Take the luggage."

A black box was thrown out, and Mingshu bent down to take it down, "It's so heavy, it's filled with missing me?"

Xiao Yuan rubbed his head, held his hand and walked towards the exit.

It was still early before dawn, but there were obviously more people entering and leaving the airport than at 3:[-].

Mingshu put the luggage into the trunk, "Brother, shall we go back right away, or go back after eating something?"

"What about you?" Xiao Yu'an opened the passenger door, "Do you want to go back to eat or eat outside?"

Mingshu thought for a while, "Why don't we eat outside? I haven't eaten chicken soup in Limin Street for a long time."

Xiao Yu'an put on her seat belt, "Listen to you."

Limin Street is on the way back to the city from the airport. The Chicken Soup Chaoshou shop only opens morning and lunch markets. It has been in business for more than ten years. The chicken soup is rich and the Chaoshou is very big.

The first time Mingshu ate, he only asked for two taels. After eating, he always felt that he didn’t have enough, and he felt indebted. The second time, he simply asked for five taels. In the end, he couldn’t eat anymore, so he “secretly” stuffed it into Xiao Yu’an’s bowl. several.

Both the boss and the proprietress are hardworking people, and the chaoshou shop opens after 4 o'clock.Mingshu parked the car on the side of the road, and smelled the aroma of chicken soup as soon as he got out of the car.

There are already customers in the store at this time, but not many.The proprietress has a big face, and she smiles very honestly, "How much do you two eat?"

Ming Shu glanced at Xiao Yu'an.

Since he learned the lesson of counting five taels that he didn't finish, he left the matter of counting two taels to Xiao Yu'an.

"Two threes, plus one serving of green vegetables and one serving of sauerkraut." Xiao Yu'an said, "Thank you."

Mingshu felt really hungry when he sat down.

He took the high-speed train from Los Angeles back to Dongye City, and his last meal was beef noodles at the cafeteria of the Los Angeles City Bureau.Although the noodles are full, it has been ten hours since the evening.

The chicken soup came to the table quickly, and Mingshu reached out to get the small dish of sauerkraut, but the back of his hand was tapped lightly by the tip of the chopsticks.

"Tsk!" Ming Shu glared at Xiao Yu'an, "Why?"

"This bowl is yours." Xiao Yuan pushed the bowl with green vegetables in front of him, "A kid who doesn't like vegetables."

Ming Shu covets sauerkraut, "Leader, can we discuss it?"

"It's not negotiable." Xiao Yuan poured the sauerkraut into his bowl.

"I remember that you don't like sauerkraut." Mingshu said, "Every time I add sauerkraut, you still say that sauerkraut destroys the original deliciousness of chicken soup."

Xiao Yu'an explained calmly, "Didn't someone throw his leftover sauerkraut into my bowl? I'll be hooked after tasting it, okay?"

Mingshu said: "Then you can't deprive me of the right to eat sauerkraut."

Xiao Yu'an laughed, ignored him, and started eating.

Mingshu wasn't really angry, he buried his head in eating Chao Shou with vegetables in his bowl.

Not long after eating, Mingshu became dishonest, scooped up one with a spoon, and handed it to Xiao Yuan, "Leader, I honor you, you have worked hard on your business trip."

Xiao Yu'an took it with a spoon, Mingshu was not polite, and quickly extended the spoon to Xiao Yu'an's bowl, not only scooped out a Chaoshou, but also scooped up a spoon full of sauerkraut.

Xiao Yu'an accompanied him to "perform" and saw that he finished eating to his heart's content, before asking, "Is it delicious?"

Mingshu nodded, "The one in the leader's bowl is really delicious!"

After breakfast, Mingshu at least walked away with Xiao Yuan's four scramblers.

"Come again next time!" The proprietress said cheerfully while tidying up, "Oh, this is really clean, I've finished the soup!"

The sky is getting bright, and the surrounding bun shops and noodle shops are opening one after another.The car drove away from the not-so-spacious alley, and shuttled through the city that was about to wake up completely.

"People who were treated as bugs, some died miserably, like Sheng Zhi and Xiang Haoming, and some survived by luck, but their lives were no different from walking dead, just like the shadow of the lake." Ming Shu held the steering wheel, his tone Gradually calmed down, put away the joking tone not long ago, "And some people want to take revenge on those who played with 'bugs'. Brother, is that what you mean?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, Yin Zhen is probably one of the players who played with 'Bugs'. Her death is not an isolated case. Since February last year, there have been two victims who died of torture and murder in the country with similar family circumstances. They were not found, and they have one thing in common, the police conducted a thorough investigation of their interpersonal relationship, and all the suspects were finally proved to have no possibility of committing the crime.”

"A person who hides extremely deeply..." Mingshu said.

"In February last year, in Miancheng, the victim Jiang Xiyang was found dead in a mountain forest on the outskirts of the city with extensive burns on his body. The blood loss caused by the incision was too much." Xiao Yu'an said: "Jiang Xiyang is the illegitimate son of the richest man in the area, the owner of Haiying Real Estate. He is 2 years old. There was a car accident against him in the city, his assistant died in the car accident, he was lucky and only suffered minor injuries. Therefore, the investigation direction of the Miancheng police is very clear, to investigate those who have conflicts of interest with Jiang Xiyang."

The car stopped at the traffic light, the sky was already blue, and the people who had to catch the early shift quickly ran across the zebra crossing.

Mingshu said: "Like Yin Zhen, the police can't lock the suspect?"

Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "When the investigation went on for a month, the Miancheng police found a suspect. The man's name was Zhang Junke, and he was an employee of Jiang Xiyang's team. Zhang Junke admitted that he had been humiliated by Jiang Xiyang at work for a long time and had to It is certain that any problems in the team will be the responsibility of himself in the end. Under the grievances, he led Jiang Xiyang to the mountains and brutally killed him."

Mingshu frowned, "Is this the end of the case?"

"It was closed at that time." Xiao Yu'an sighed, "But Team Shen and I checked the vicious cases across the country this time, and found that there were many doubts in the details of this case—Zhang Junke was reprimanded by Jiang Xiyang many times. It is well known to the whole department. The Miancheng police initially believed that Zhang Junke had a motive, so they investigated him in detail, and his suspicion was cleared. But a month later, he was suddenly called a suspect again, and this time he pleaded guilty gone."

Mingshu immediately understood, "Zhang Jun is a person who was 'pushed out'."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes. The special operations team re-investigated this case, and Zhang Junke admitted that he received a huge sum of money from the Haiying Group and took the blame for the real culprit."

Mingshu frowned, "Wait a minute, Haiying Group made Zhang Junke take the blame? This..."

"Jiang Xiyang's death caused an uproar in Miancheng at that time, and the entire group was greatly affected. If the murderer cannot be caught for a long time, the negative impact will continue." Xiao Yu'an said: "Under the benefits, for Haiying Group , this matter must be settled as soon as possible.”

"Even if you can't find the real culprit who killed your son..." Ming Shu shook his head, "Cold-blooded animal."

After a pause, Xiao Yu'an continued: "Currently, Jiang Xiyang's case has been taken over by the Special Operations Team. The other case happened in May last year. The victim, Yue Shuqing, was 5 years old and died beside a farm septic tank in Zhoukou Town, Sui City."

Mingshu asked, "What was the cause of death?"

"After autopsy, there were a lot of feces in Yue Shuqing's respiratory tract, mouth, and lungs." Xiao Yu'an said: "He was drowned alive in the septic tank. Moreover, the murderer had pressed his head into the septic tank many times. When I couldn't bear it, I pulled him up again, gave him a glimmer of life, and then kept repeating this process."

Mingshu got goosebumps, "It's too cruel."

Xiao Yu'an said: "This case has not been solved so far. Yue Shuqing's mother is the daughter of the wealthy Xin family. Yue Shuqing himself teaches in an art college and opened a gallery. He is approachable and approachable. Almost none of his students know about the family strength behind him. How strong."

Mingshu drove for a while, "Yin Zhen, Jiang Xiyang, Yue Shuqing. You and Captain Shen judged from their similarities. They used to treat people like bugs and abused them, but they were eaten back by 'worms'?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "This is not a judgment, but a conjecture after excluding other possibilities. It may not be correct."

Mingshu felt that his body was gradually heating up, as if something was burning vigorously in his body.

"At present, we have not found any intersection between these three people, and their personalities are very different in front of people. Yin Zhen is lively, fashionable, innovative, and knows how to catch trends, whether it is in her own company or a family business. Here, she is very popular. As an illegitimate child, Jiang Xiyang grew up amidst supercilious eyes and competition. He has a deep desire for power and money. He is strict with himself, and at the same time hopes that his employees are like him. There are similarities between Lai Xiuliang." Xiao Yu'an said: "Finally, Yue Shuqing, this person has nothing to do with the world, never shows off his family background, and maintains a good relationship with school colleagues and students, but not too close .”

Mingshu concluded: "They are three completely different types of people."

Xiao Yu'an closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "There is no evidence for everything."

After a moment of silence in the car, Mingshu suddenly said, "What about Lai Xiuliang? Although Lai Xiuliang is also a rich man, he is far behind them. However, there are similarities with them in the fact that 'interpersonal relationship investigations failed.'"

Xiao Yuan didn't speak, as if he was asleep, but Mingshu knew he wasn't.

The car drove into the community and stopped quietly.

Xiao Yu'an opened his eyes, "Hu Ying said that the first people He Yang found were those who lived at the bottom of the society, and then he and Sheng Zhi were found later. The reason is that He Yang felt that although the fights of ordinary people seemed enjoyable, they were not aesthetically pleasing. .”

Mingshu's spirit suddenly tensed up, "Bringing into He Yang's psychology, his crimes are constantly evolving. When ordinary people can't satisfy him, he looks for celebrities, and when celebrities can't satisfy him..."

"Besides the situation we imagined, people like He Yang may still be looking for 'rich people'." Xiao Yuan said: "Of course the so-called 'rich' is only relative."

Mingshu said: "Is Lai Xiuliang a 'bug' in another sense?"

The sun rises completely from the horizon, but it is difficult to see the real sunrise in the city.

In a private manor on the outskirts of Dongye City, He Yang, wearing a bathrobe, stepped onto the terrace from the shadow of the room, enjoying the sunrise in the forest comfortably.

Compared with the evening glow, the morning glow does not have so many ever-changing colors, but it is fresh and bright but unique.

He Yang stood on the terrace for a long time, until the golden glow of the morning glow gradually dissipated, then turned around calmly.

Zhou Shan, who was wearing a neat suit, stood quietly behind him.

"How long have you been here?" He Yang asked as he walked towards the greenhouse not far away.

In the morning, the temperature did not rise, and it was too cold to stand for too long.

"It's been a while." Zhou Shan followed behind He Yang.

The well-trained servants quietly put the breakfast on the table, and then left quietly.It seems that in this manor, they are not people, but moving furniture.

He Yang sat on the rattan chair, picked up the spoon, and stirred the soft porridge, "What's the matter?"

"Liang Zhao has already been persuaded by me." Zhou Shan said, "Now he is in Yingcheng, waiting for my arrangement. Do you want to let him participate in the game now, or wait..."

He Yang raised his hand, "Wait."

Zhou Shan pretended to be listening attentively, "Huh?"

"Liang Zhao..." He Yang narrowed his eyes, "Who is this? It sounds familiar."

Zhou Shan smiled, "You are busy with business, maybe you don't remember. Liang Zhao is the policeman who was kicked out of the city bureau."

"Oh—" He Yang raised his voice, "He."

"Yes, you told me to 'fix' him a while ago."

"You have always been so neat in doing things."

Zhou Shan bowed his head respectfully, "But Mr. He, we may still need a policeman."

He Yang was a little absent-minded, and after taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, he put the spoon aside, "It seems that you have helped me find a good candidate."

Zhou Shan said: "Zhou Ping of the Special Police Corps of the Municipal Bureau was once one of the best special police officers in Dongye City. He was seriously injured when he was an undercover agent a few years ago. Although he was rescued, he suffered a psychological breakdown. Center for Psychological Research. I think this man is the most…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shan noticed that He Yang was looking at him playfully.

"Mr. He?"

He Yang said slowly: "Are you looking for candidates for my game, or are you borrowing my hand to avenge yourself?"

Zhou Shan's complexion changed.

He Yang sneered, "You are my secretary, if you have any needs, just ask me. Don't make tricks behind my back."

"Mr. He..." Zhou Shan's eyebrows twitched, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He Yang said: "I know your background perfectly. Don't forget who gave you your current identity."

Zhou Shan lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

After a moment's pause, He Yang said again: "It's not a big deal, don't be too nervous. That Mingshu from the serious crime team has already set his sights on me, Zhou Ping can't move for now."

Zhou Shan said softly: "Yes."

"As for Liang Chao..." He Yang said, "Let's let it go for now."

Zhou Shan frowned, "Do you have a new plan?"

There was a greedy and crazy light in He Yang's eyes, "Recently, I discovered more interesting games."

Los Angeles, Huajing Phase II community.

"Aw! Aw!" A big German Shepherd happily ran in the living room, knocked off the pillow on the sofa, rushed to the bedroom biting a toy bone, and quickly shook its big tail.

Liu Zhiqin was putting things in the suitcase, besides clothes, and his dedicated laptop.

Hua Chong drove the Great Virtuous Shepherd away, "You didn't go out, why are you excited?"

The great German shepherd seemed to understand, and his ears collapsed all of a sudden.

Liu Zhiqin zipped up the box, stood up and hugged Hua Chong and kissed him gently.

Hua Chongxiao: "'Keyboard Man' is going on an expedition again. Go to the special operations team and perform well."

Liu Zhiqin said: "You also agree with Xiao Ju's idea, so my task is to find concrete evidence for your idea."
