Madness of the Heart

"I've found more interesting games lately."

He Yang's words echoed in his mind over and over again, Zhou Shan slammed the steering wheel, and the face reflected in the rearview mirror was particularly distorted and sinister.

Over the years, he has always been the closest person to He Yang, and he satisfied all of He Yang's inhumane hobbies.Hu Ying, Sheng Zhi, and those people who were crawling in the gutter before him, which one was not picked by him?

It's hard to say who is more perverted, he or He Yang, maybe two people with the same anti-social personality influence each other and achieve each other.

But now, he clearly sensed that He Yang was alienating him.

why?

Is there something he didn't do well?

What happened to Hu Ying cannot be blamed on him.According to He Yang's preferences, he managed to trap Liang Zhao, as long as he worked harder, it would not be impossible to trap Zhou Ping in.

But He Yang actually asked him to stand still for the time being.

Who is influencing He Yang behind the scenes?

Isn't he the closest person to He Yang?

Thinking of this, intense hatred welled up in Zhou Shan's eyes.

Since childhood, he was an unwanted person.

In small towns in the north, when winter comes, life becomes more and more difficult.Before he was born, there were already two older brothers and one older sister in the family. He was the extra person. His parents didn't take him seriously at all. They didn't even give him a household registration, let alone raise him well.

The most outstanding member of the family is the elder brother, who gave him his real name "Zhou Xi".

For a time, his favorite person was his elder brother.

But when he was 7 years old, his father sold him to a woman trafficker with a big waist and arms for the tuition fee of his elder brother and the living expenses of the family.

No matter how much he cried, the family members were indifferent, and his elder brother was at school at the time and did not rush back to protect him.

He cried and left that poor town. For a long time, he thought that if his elder brother was there, he would definitely stay.

The woman traffickers quickly passed him on.He was sold to a village in the south, and life was more difficult than before.

The villagers often beat him and forced him to work when he spoke words he could not understand. At the age of 10, he ran out of the village and competed with homeless people for food in the city.

It was He Yang who rescued him, brought him to the He family, gave him a place to live, and even helped him to apply for a household registration.

When filling in the name, he was unwilling to write "Zhou" in the surname column, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart-what if the elder brother would find him?

He named himself "Zhou Shan", not only did not want those indifferent family members to find him, but also hoped that they would find him one day.

The contradictions are endless.

After becoming an adult, he became He Yang's eagle dog.

The feeling of being needed made him feel more fulfilled than ever before - even if He Yang asked him to do every single thing, it violated the laws and social norms.

Standing beside He Yang, he is no longer the pitiful creature who resigned himself to fate back then.If the elder brother didn't come to look for him, he would take the initiative to inquire about the news of the elder brother.

To his surprise, the eldest brother actually severed ties with his family and became a special police officer in Dongye City.

He quietly returned to his hometown, and learned from his former family members that his elder brother sucked up the family's blood, but he left without gratitude and left.

You deserve it.

He thought so.

At that moment, he even had a revenge-like pleasure.

However, when the pleasure passed, he suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake when he was a child.

He even imagined that his eldest brother would protect him and keep him.

The eldest brother doesn't even care about his parents, so why would he care about his extra younger brother?

On the day he was taken away by the woman traffickers, if the elder brother had been there, he probably wouldn't have looked at him more.

How ridiculous is his delusion?

Back in Dongye City, he paid close attention to Zhou Ping, his elder brother, the more he understood, the deeper the hatred.

This special policeman is deeply loved and brilliant, but who knows that this glorious special policeman is climbing up step by step with the money he got from selling his younger brother?

Is success now enough to wash away the filth of the past?

Obviously born to the same pair of parents, how can the eldest brother live like this?And he has been displaced since he was 7 years old?

He wants to destroy Big Brother.

He himself can't do it, but He Yang can.

He is He Yang's most loyal running dog, He Yang listens to him in everything.

Maybe it was retribution, Zhou Ping was psychologically traumatized after a mission, and became what he is now.

Isn't a policeman who has made great achievements but can't get up again, the best candidate for the game?

Not only that, but also Liang Chao from the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

In the police circle of Dongye City, these two people are well-known figures no matter what they do.What will their fight be like?

Just thinking about it gave him a shudder, and even goosebumps.

But now, He Yang asked him to stop because he "discovered a more interesting game".

Unwillingness and jealousy burned in his chest like wildfire, Zhou Shan's eyes were bloodshot, he slammed the accelerator and drove down the mountain.

He is the one who knows He Yang best. He Yang will definitely like the fighting of the police. What game is more interesting than turning the police into bugs?

He has already planned to this point, how can he stop?

The rain in Yingcheng finally stopped, and the temperature rose, but Liang Zhao was still wearing that half-coloured leather jacket.

"Is this what your boss wants me to do?" Liang Zhao looked at Zhou Shan, "Find a way to bring Zhou Ping out of the city bureau, and then play a life-and-death battle game with him?"

Zhou Shan said: "The winner must be you. Although Zhou Ping is a special police officer, but in his current state, he cannot be your opponent of Team Liang."

Liang Zhao laughed and narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to watch the police torture and kill the police?"

Zhou Shan did not deny it.

"It's a bad taste." Liang Zhao said "tsk tsk" twice, "It really makes me sick."

Zhou Shan said: "Mr. Liang, I have to remind you that you are already in the same boat as us. Don't you want to deal with Xiao Yu'an? You have seen the video just now. How much do you want in the future? How much will I give you?"

Liang Zhao nodded viciously, "Secretary Zhou still has the means."

In the video that Zhou Shan sent to Liang Zhao not long ago, Xiao Yuan was kissing Mingshu at the airport.

"But I'm not sure about bringing Zhou Ping out." Liang Zhao said again: "I don't want to do such a risky thing."

Zhou Shan's face darkened.

Liang Zhao asked: "Does it have to be Zhou Ping? Can't it be someone else?"

Zhou Shan opened his mouth, but did not answer immediately.

Of course it doesn't have to be Zhou Ping.

But he desperately wanted to see Zhou Ping die!

"Do you think I can't deal with other policemen?" Liang Zhao spread his hands, "You want me to live, so the opponent can only be Zhou Ping?"

Zhou Shan looked away, "That's not true."

"It's not that I can't bring Zhou Ping out." Liang Zhao changed the subject, "But I have two conditions."

Zhou Shan's eyes were sharp, "You mention it."

Liang Chao said: "First, I want to see clips from previous games. You know, I used to be a policeman. Maybe I can't get into the role of a massacre as soon as possible."

Zhou Shan frowned, "What about the other one?"

"You have to cooperate with me." Liang Zhao continued: "Otherwise I will think that I am a chess piece that you discard casually, and if something happens to me, you will not care about me."

Zhou Shan remained silent, stood up and took a few steps.

Liang Zhao didn't urge him, didn't even look at Zhou Shan, and fiddled with the tea set with great interest.

A few minutes later, Zhou Shan turned around, "I promise you. But you must also promise to complete this game beautifully!"

Liang Chao asked, "What's your standard for 'beautiful'?"

The ferocity of the soul almost tore a hole in Zhou Shan's humble skin, "The bloodiest! The cruelest! How miserable it is!"

"Your boss likes this?" Liang Zhao took a sip of tea, "Okay, I understand. Remember to find me the most exciting video in your hand, and I will refer to it."

Dongye City Criminal Investigation Bureau, Mingshu suddenly left a meeting and strode to the technical investigation office.

"Team Ming!" Zhou Yuan seldom ate snacks during working hours, so the leader caught him at the scene, and hurriedly stuffed the oily trotters into the drawer without even wiping his mouth.

"Connect to this signal immediately." Normally, Mingshu would have laughed at him, but this time he didn't care at all. After closing the door, he immediately put the phone on the table.

"This is..." Zhou Yuan was a little surprised, quickly wiped his hands clean, and connected his phone to the device.

The picture came, and the image was not very clear.

A few minutes later, with a pale face, Zhou Yuan jumped up from his seat in horror, his voice trembling, "What are these, what? A thriller? But, it's not like it!"

Mingshu's expression also became extremely tense, and his pupils reflected a massacre of ordinary people by ordinary people.

The fallen people kept screaming, piercing their hearts, and the perpetrators were also crying bitterly.

In the game, there is no winner at all, all the slaughter and blood are just to satisfy the deformed hobbies of the viewers.

"It's not a thriller, it's something that actually happened."

Zhou Yuan burst into tears, both ashamed of his gaffe and angry at this absurd reality, "Who found this video?"

At this moment, the signal was interrupted and the picture stopped abruptly.

"A senior." Mingshu said, "A policeman."

PUC, Center for Psychological Research.

Every once in a while, Zhou Ping will accept a rehabilitation check.

Lu Yanzhou happened to be free, and accompanied him through the entire process.The doctor opened the window to look, and suggested: "Captain Lu, it's sunny today, take your master downstairs for a walk."

Zhou Ping sat on the chair and didn't respond.

Lu Yanzhou asked: "Master, do you want to go downstairs?"

Zhou Ping looked at him for a while, then nodded slightly.

There is a large yard downstairs in the special police corps, with a playground behind it, and an indoor fighting hall and an indoor shooting hall next to it, which are places Zhou Ping often goes to when he is healthy.

He has no physical problems, and he doesn't need someone to support him when he walks. Lu Yanzhou walked with him half a lap around the playground, remembering what Mingshu said on the phone last time, and tentatively said: "Master, can we chat?" ?”

Zhou Ping nodded, "Yes."

"You rarely tell us about family affairs." Lu Yanzhou said, "Do you want to see your family?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ping paused and swallowed hard.

Lu Yanzhou remembered the doctor's words——Zhou Ping "locked up" himself. In addition to drugs and a certain degree of intervention, he also needed to chat with people from time to time.

Now that we've come this far, Lu Yanzhou doesn't want to stop here, "Master, tell me about your family situation. Maybe your family's company and comfort can help you."

Zhou Ping continued to walk forward, but his pace was slower than before.

Perhaps because of the weather, the splendor of spring quietly washes away the bleakness of autumn and winter, and the door of people's hearts is also opened a crack.

"I didn't take the path my family wanted me to take." Zhou Ping's voice was hoarse and he spoke very slowly.

Lu Yanzhou listened patiently, "Your family doesn't want you to be a policeman?"

Zhou Ping nodded, "I can study because my whole family supports me. My younger siblings all dropped out of school for me. They hope that I will be able to succeed, and in the future...they can rely on me."

Lu Yanzhou felt a little uncomfortable, thought for a while and said, "But they can't interfere with your life. Master, you are an excellent policeman!"

Zhou Ping was silent for a long time, just when Lu Yanzhou thought he didn't want to speak anymore, he opened his mouth again, hesitant to speak.

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, "Master?"

"I haven't told anyone why I want to be a policeman, a special police officer." Zhou Ping sighed, "It's because of my little brother."

Lu Yanzhou was puzzled, "Little brother?"

"Back then, the expansion of the special police team in Dongye City was primarily aimed at rescuing abducted children." Zhou Ping looked into the distance, with vicissitudes in his eyes that did not match his age. little brother."

Lu Yanzhou did not participate in the follow-up investigation of the serious crime team, and knew nothing about Xu Chun's investigation at Zhou's house, so he was surprised when he heard this.

Zhou Ping spoke intermittently.

"I thought I could find him, but more than ten years have passed. I have rescued many children and found countless clues, but none of them have my little brother."

"My father sold him in order to let me study and give me health care."

"I'm sorry for him."

Lu Yanzhou was silent for a long time, "The estrangement between you and your family is also because of... the little brother who was sold off?"

Zhou Ping didn't speak any more, and looked at the bright sky with half-raised face, maybe his eyes were sore from the light, when he lowered his head, he raised his hand to wipe the end of his eyes.

The spring thunder was rolling, and after a light rain, Dongye City ushered in a sunny day again.

In a crowded train station, a man in a black jacket and hat came out from the exit, standing on the side of the road as if waiting for someone.

Soon, a car stopped in front of him, he opened the rear door without hesitation, threw the luggage in first, and then sat in himself.

In the rearview mirror, the scar on his face was reflected.

"I got a piece of news." Liang Zhao said: "After the beginning of spring, Zhou Ping usually takes a walk in the backyard of the SWAT team, sometimes accompanied by team members, sometimes alone."

Zhou Shan said, "Whose news?"

Liang Zhao sneered: "I've been in the city bureau for so many years, so it's not like I don't have one or two good friends?"

Zhou Shan hesitated, "What are you going to do?"

"I have worked with Zhou Ping before." Liang Zhao said, "I found an opportunity to enter the Municipal Bureau and brought him out in the name of reminiscing about the past. You meet me at Erxiangkou."

Zhou Shan pursed her lips tightly.

Liang Zhao said again: "I can only succeed this time, not fail. But even if I succeed, I will be wanted, and I will never be able to appear in an open manner again. My retreat depends on you."

Only then did Zhou Shan say: "Don't worry. Money, retreat, these are trivial matters. As long as you make Mr. He happy, all your needs will be met."

Liang Zhao leaned back, folded his hands on his stomach, "Your words are enough."

On a seemingly ordinary day, the atmosphere of the crime team was a little tense.

Ming Shu went to Xiao Yu'an's office, changed into casual clothes, and left with Yi Fei, Fang Yuanhang and others.

Zhou Yuan ordered another cup of decompressed Strawberry Taotao, staring straight at the display screen.

After chatting with Lu Yanzhou that day, Zhou Ping had signs of coming out of the world he had constructed.

When the sun was at its best in the afternoon, he left the room and sat in a sunny position by the playground.

After a few months, Liang Chao stepped into the city bureau again.

He has an unpleasant face, and the scars make him look fierce. Even if he smiles, he can't make him a little bit more friendly. If he doesn't smile, the sense of distance will be even deeper.

On the way to the SWAT team, some colleagues from the past greeted him, and what he heard the most was—"Team Liang is back?"

He reluctantly answered, took a road with few people, and soon found Zhou Ping sitting in the sun.

"Team Week."

Zhou Ping turned around, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes, "Captain Liang?"

There is an unnamed street on the west side of the Municipal Bureau, which is remote and is called Erxiangkou by the people around it.

A gray car was parked there, and Zhou Shan was sitting in a steamed vegetable restaurant not far away.

There were not many people on the street, Zhou Shan observed these people, feeling a little worried in his heart.

But he didn't know what he was worrying about.

He knows He Yang well, he knows what He Yang likes.This time, as long as he handles things quickly, it will be a pleasant surprise for He Yang.

Although He Yang said that Zhou Ping and Liang Chao would be released temporarily.But temporarily putting it aside doesn't mean that you don't want to do it, it's just that doing it now is dangerous.

He wanted to prove to He Yang that as long as he, Zhou Shan, took the shot, there would be no mission that he couldn't take down!

The only variable that may appear is Liang Zhao, who is too close to the city bureau.

But after thinking about it again, he felt that he was worrying too much.

He has found out everything about Liang Zhao. This person is a victim of a power struggle. Anyone in Liang Zhao's position must feel unwilling. He is absolutely sure that Liang Zhao hates those upper-level figures.

A familiar figure appeared across the alley.

It's Liang Chao.

Liang Zhao brought Zhou Ping out.

Zhou Shan was sure, after carefully observing the surroundings, he left the steamed vegetable restaurant and walked towards the car.

The car lock was unlocked, Liang Zhao opened the back door and let Zhou Ping sit in first.

Zhou Shan was about to get in the car when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Like someone from the Crime Squad!

Zhou Shan panicked and managed to remain calm, but heard the siren whistling from behind.

His first thought was that Liang Chao had been exposed.

Second thought is...

Before he had time to have a second thought, his hands were suddenly pinned behind him by an irresistible force.

He subconsciously struggled, and saw Mingshu walking towards him, but the one who cut his hands was actually Liang Zhao who approached him proactively!
