Madness of the Heart

"Three years ago, Yin Zhen rented an underground warehouse on TRK's site and played her games there." Liu Zhiqin presented the refined video in front of everyone, "A total of 8 people were forced and lured Participated in it, and 6 of them were Chinese nationals."

The photos and basic information of the victim were enlarged on the projector, "Different from He Yang who was looking for targets in China, Yin Zhen's subordinates all live in Country E. In the future, they can only live in Country E and the surrounding areas of Country E." The country 'hunts'. Because of Yin Zhen's personal preference, they target almost all Chinese citizens."

Fang Yuanhang clenched his fists.

"Li Qinghua, 30 years old, male, his family smuggled into country E, and worked in a restaurant in Kellogg City."

"Xu Lihong, 28 years old, female, Li Qinghua's wife, was killed by Li Qinghua in a game three years ago."

"Jin Yue, 51 years old, male, works in country N in the south of country E. According to the police records of country N, he is still missing."

"Quan Linzhong, 34 years old, male, came to country E to study at the age of 18, and then stayed in country E to develop and rarely returned to China. At the age of 32, the company he co-founded with his companions closed down. After that, he was unemployed and lived in poverty. No one paid for him. 'Missing' call the police."

"Shu Can, 29 years old, female, is in a similar situation to Jin Yue. She works in country N. According to the police records, her status is missing."

"Duan Yun, 25 years old, male, was sold to the black market in country E after being in debt at home. His situation is actually considered a smuggling, but it is different from Li Qinghua and Xu Lihong's voluntary smuggling."

Liu Zhiqin paused, and called up the photos of the other two victims, "Jin Anmin, 40 years old, and Kuto Junko, 31 years old. These two are not Chinese nationals, so let's put it aside for now, is it okay?"

Xiao Yu'an nodded, "It seems that Yin Zhen has considered everything carefully. He chooses either stowaways, people who went to country E through formal means but were forgotten, or people who don't live in country E at all."

Mingshu said: "The backgrounds of these six people have to be changed in detail one by one. The 'third party', the Avengers are likely to be hidden in their interpersonal network."

"Then there are the guests invited by Yin Zhen." Liu Zhiqin continued, "In addition to He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, and Yue Shuqing, there are four more."

The first thing that appears on the projector is a Caucasian person.

"Lewis, a native of country E, 35 years old, a frequent visitor to the underground black market in Kellogg City, runs a casino." Liu Zhiqin said, "But he died last year."

Mingshu leaned forward slightly, "What's the reason?"

"The gangs are fighting." Liu Zhiqin said, "It's similar to what we experienced before. I personally think that Lewis' death has nothing to do with the series of cases in China."

Fang Yuanhang said: "It is also possible that the fire was planned by a 'third party'?"

"I also think that Lewis' death has little to do with the 'third party'." Xiao Yuan said: "Judging from the three murders that have occurred so far, the 'third party' pursues to make the victims experience extreme pain. Lewis died in Compared with the experience of Yin Zhen, Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing, this is obviously far worse."

Mingshu said: "The 'third party' may think that even if he doesn't take action against the enemy of country E, he will be solved by others."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, "Cruz, a native of country N, 39 years old, is also a frequent visitor to the black market, and is currently not in country E. These two are the only foreigners invited by Yin Zhen. As for the remaining two..."

Photos of a man and a woman appear on a projector.

"Kong Mingxuan, female, 32 years old, from Chaocheng, the daughter of the boss of Huming Group, a leading local enterprise."

"Fan He, male, 35 years old, from Yunqian City, his family is engaged in import and export business. Although he is not well-known, his annual net income is more than 5000 million."

Ming Shu squinted at the two of them, "If He Yang has been killed now, then their situation will be very dangerous."

The serious crime team returned to Dongye City and immediately started investigating the people on the two lists.

On the other hand, He Yang's whereabouts are still unknown.There were two voices in the serious crime team. One was that He Yang was currently in the hands of a "third party" and was probably killed. The other was that He Yang realized that he was being targeted by the police, so he left voluntarily, based on the fact that the three of Yin Zhen were killed. Sooner or later, the body was found, but He Yang's body was not found for a long time.

The two voices have their own reasons, and Mingshu did not deny the latter just because he thought it was the former.

Fang Yuanhang handed over all the physical evidence found in the abandoned factory, as well as the detailed photos taken to Xiao Man.Xiao Man praised while watching: "My son is promising."

Fang Yuanhang: "...Who the hell is your son?"

The forensic trace inspectors are all technical team members. Xing Mu also rushed to see what Fang Yuanhang brought back. He looked at Fang Yuanhang and suddenly pulled Fang Yuanhang aside, "I heard that you guys encountered a gunfight this time?"

Fang Yuanhang's eyebrows twitched, and he slapped his right hand on the table like a gavel, "Speaking of which..."

"Okay, okay, I know it was a thrilling time." Xing Mu said, "I also know how brave you are."

Xiao Man interrupted, "I don't know how many times my son has said it since he came back."

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

Xing Mu said, "I want to know how Xiao Ming got hurt."

Fang Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, "My master, alas, Mr. Xing, you are a forensic doctor, can you still treat Xiao Ming's wounds? Farewell, Xiao Ming is fine, and I don't want to be healed by a forensic doctor. The scar on his head is too old. It won't be long before it falls."

Xiao Man smiled and said, "Teacher Xing cares about Xiao Ming, you haven't heard it yet?"

Having been punctured, Xing Mu blushed and defended, "Actually, it's not..."

Fang Yuanhang said: "Mr. Xing, duplicity is not a good habit. A good leader like my master, you can just hate him if you mean it. You can't always hate him, right? And you don't actually hate him at all."

Xing Mu blushed even more when he was told, "I have been used to it for decades, I can't change it, I can't change it."

Just as he was talking, Mingshu came.

The scar on his forehead hasn't come off yet, it looks obvious, but because it's not between the facial features, it doesn't affect his appearance at all.

"Teacher Xing is also there." Ming Shu said.

"Master." Fang Yuanhang said, "Teacher Xing is concerned about your injury. Teacher Xing is heartbroken!"

Xing Mu: "!"

I don't!You nonsense!

"Oh?" Ming Shu raised his eyebrows, smiled at Xing Mu, touched the scar, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while."

Xing Mu is a kind-hearted person. Anyone on the team who gets injured will feel heartbroken for a long time, let alone explain that Shu was the one who watched him grow up and took care of him as a younger brother.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Xing Mu stared at the scar for a while, frowning, but then heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you are all good and quick to react."

Mingshu was calm and even ruthless when investigating the case, but when faced with the concern of his colleagues, his eyes instantly softened, and he said softly, "Thank you, Brother Xing."

Xing Mu shook his head straight, "Thank me for what. Your apprentice said that I am a forensic doctor, and forensic doctors can't treat your injuries."

Fang Yuanhang: "?"

Is this still filed?

"Thank you for your concern." Mingshu smiled and patted his chest, "Your hateful leader feels it."

Xing Mu whispered: "I didn't say you are hateful."

Ming Shu patted Xing Mu on the shoulder, and walked towards Xiao Man - he came here to find Xiao Man on business.

"You guessed it right." Xiao Man placed the two nearly burnt red candles in front of him, "The memorial ceremony will be around the Spring Festival this year. As for the origin of the firecrackers and red candles, I won't be able to give you an answer for a while. "

"Where are the mud footprints?" Mingshu said.

"Modeling takes time, but I can roughly report the number based on experience." Xiao Man said: "The first group of footprints, women, are between 1 and 1 meters tall, and they are used to exerting force on the outside when walking. Shoe patterns are quite common, and many low-end tourist shoes in China have similar patterns.”

Mingshu said: "The missing Cao Zhiya is 1 meters tall."

Xiao Man continued: "The second set of footprints, men, are between 1 and 76 meters tall, with a slight splayed figure, and the focus is on the rear end. I think the shoes he wears are probably rain boots."

Knowing that the "third party" may still have two targets, Shen Xun immediately sent people to Chaocheng and Yunqian City to confirm the current situation of Kong Mingxuan and Fan He.

Kong Mingxuan has been traveling abroad for the past six months, and just returned to Chaocheng half a month ago, and nothing unusual happened around her.Fan He is currently not in China because of his family business.

Kong Mingxuan was an insider of the game back then, and she must be aware of the details that the police have not yet grasped.

Ming Shu rushed to Chaocheng, and Zhao Fan came to pick him up in a police car—the elder brother Shen Xun sent to Chaocheng.

"You came just in time." Zhao Fan said, "Kong Mingxuan is so crazy, I can't handle her."

Mingshu didn't believe it, "Is there anyone else you can't deal with?"

How did Shen Xun describe Zhaofan?

He was a scourge when he was in college, relying on his face to be domineering and unreasonable, and now he is also a bully in the special operations team.

Only when he bullies others, others don't want to bully him, and those who are bullied—such as Le Ran—are quite convinced.

"She..." Zhao Fan was a little embarrassed to say, "She is acting like a baby with me! I asked something, and she said something. You know, I am a special police officer, and I have been with Shen Xun for the past two or three years, and occasionally joined your criminal police. The matter. She is a girl, I really can't deal with it."

Chaocheng Bureau, inquiry room.

Sure enough, as Zhaofan said, Kong Mingxuan sat there in a noble and exquisite dress, curling her hair for a while, playing with her nails for a while, and refused to admit that she had ever gone to country E through illegal means, let alone that she was a frequent visitor to the underground black market in Kellogg City .

When Mingshu mentioned Yin Zhen, Jiang Xiyang, and Yue Shuqing, she even opened her eyes wide and said in an innocent tone that didn't match her age: "Who are they? I don't know them."

"They are the partners who watched the massacre game with you three years ago." After Mingshu finished speaking, Kong Mingxuan did not give Kong Mingxuan time to refute, and then said: "When you were in country E, you came into contact with each other under the status of being bought. No contact, plus you've been traveling in a foreign country, so it's not surprising that they didn't know they had died."

Kong Mingxuan stopped playing with her nails, and the blood on her face suddenly faded. A look of extreme horror appeared in her eyes, and she said after a long time: "You...what did you say?"

"Didn't you hear clearly? Then I'll say it again." Mingshu even cleared his throat cooperatively, without mentioning the names of the three, but said: "Those three of your partners who watched the massacre game in country E have been arrested. Killed. Guess what their death looks like?"

Kong Mingxuan shook her head while trembling, "How is it possible?"

Mingshu said: "Are you scared? Remember the cruelty of that game three years ago?"

"No, no..." Kong Mingxuan said, "I don't know them! I haven't been to that Keluojia city!"

Mingshu put a document in foreign language on the table, "Since I can find you, it means I have evidence in my hand."

That document was provided to Xiao Yu'an by the Kluojia police, with Kong Mingxuan's high-definition photo and detailed personal information attached to it.

Kong Mingxuan's pupils constricted, and when she saw the foreign language clearly, she hugged her head with both hands.

"You have two faces in China and Country E." Ming Shu said, "In China, you are an independent, simple and good girl, while in Country E, you are addicted to illegal killings in the underground black market."

"No!" Kong Mingxuan burst into tears, "I'm not obsessed! I'm different from them, I'm just curious!"

"Curious?" Ming Shu said: "Not only have you watched the duels in the black market many times, but you were also invited by Yin Zhen to watch the games she planned. Yin Zhen will not invite someone who is 'temporarily curious'."

"I didn't lie to you!" Kong Mingxuan became more and more emotional, "I haven't been to country E for three years! I admit that for a while I was really fascinated by duels in the black market, but, but this is understandable, isn't it? ? I didn't kill, I just watched, I didn't hurt anyone!"

Mingshu asked: "How did you know Yin Zhen?"

"That's right, it's in the black market..."

Kong Mingxuan stammered about her experience of meeting Yin Zhen.

There are very few female customers in the black market, and there are even fewer oriental women. When Kong Mingxuan saw Yin Zhen, she developed a sense of competition and wanted to get close to him.

Yin Zhen seems to have the same intention.

At first, the two didn't communicate, they just gave each other money from the black market. Later, one of Yin Zhen's subordinates approached Kong Mingxuan and said that Yin Zhen wanted to invite her to a party.

"That game three years ago?" Ming Shu said, "You thought it was just a party?"

Kong Mingxuan said: "I actually guessed what was going on. People in the black market have been organizing this kind of game privately, but no one has ever invited me, so I didn't watch it before that."

Mingshu said: "After watching it? What do you think?"

Kong Mingxuan sobbed, "No, I don't have any thoughts. I often went to the black market during that time, and I was already immune."

Mingshu asked again: "Where are the others?"

"They are crazy." Kong Mingxuan said, "You may not believe me when I say this, but this is really what I thought at the time—their ecstasy and excitement couldn't move me, and at the same time, the massacres I witnessed couldn't stimulate them either." Me. I think I might be different from them. After this time, I only went to country E once, because watching people kill each other was just my interest for a period of time, and then I got a new interest.”

Mingshu took out a row of photos, "Are these people Yin Zhen's guests at that time?"

After reading it, Kong Mingxuan asked nervously, "Are they all dead? Is it just me?"

Mingshu shook his head, "Not all of them."

"Please help me!" Kong Mingxuan burst into tears, "I swear, I only watched that game, it's none of my business!"

Mingshu said: "How long have you been in the villa where the game is going on? Based on your observation, who are Yin Zhen and who are particularly close?"

Kong Mingxuan wiped away her tears, and took out the photos of Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing after a while.

"Sure enough." Xiao Yu'an said: "The 'third party' knows the guests of the game very well, and they first attacked Jiang Xiyang and Yue Shuqing. They are probably not only guests, but also participated in the planning."

Mingshu said: "It's just that he is dead now and there is no proof."

"Kong Mingxuan is currently under the surveillance of the special operations team, and the 'third party' will not choose to attack him at this time. It is still unknown whether Fan He has been targeted by the murderer while abroad." Xiao Yuan walked to the whiteboard, "Let's see this."

Mingshu walked over immediately.

Pinned on the whiteboard are photos of the victims of the game three years ago. The video matches Kong Mingxuan's confession. The eight people in the game were divided into four groups. Only by killing each other can they survive. There are only three places, which means that the final outcome may be that one group survives, plus one person from the other group, or one person from each of the three teams survives.

In this way, cannibalism cannot be avoided.

Yin Zhen's heart of snakes and scorpions can be seen.

Soon after the start of the game, Li Qinghua, an illegal immigrant, killed his wife Xu Lihong—they were teammates on the same team.Then, Shu Can committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.Jin Yue was pushed down from the roof by Jin Anmin and Kuto Junko.Junko Kudo stoned Jin Anmin to death.According to Yin Zhen's surviving quota, as long as one more person is killed, the game will be over.However, after Li Qinghua cut off Junko Kuto's neck, he smashed Duan Yun's head.

The last survivors were only Li Qinghua, who was killing wildly, and Quan Linzhong, who was hiding in the basement from beginning to end.

Yin Zhen thought that Quan Linzhong did not have the spirit of the game, and told Li Qinghua that if he was willing to perform a massacre on Quan Linzhong, the bonus belonging to Quan Linzhong would be transferred to him.

Li Qinghua was so red-eyed a long time ago, he immediately caught up with Quan Linzhong, grabbed his head, and smashed him to death on the concrete floor.

After the game ended, Li Qinghua left as the winner with the bonus, and died in Yin Zhen's next game.

"Li Qinghua, Xu Lihong, Shu Can, Jin Yue, Duan Yun, and Quan Linzhong." Xiao Yu'an said: "In terms of background alone, the latter four are the focus of the investigation. Li Qinghua and Xu Lihong lived in a fishing village in the south before smuggling. Now in this fishing village, the information I got is that this family has been stealing chickens and dogs in the village for a long time, which is not tolerated by the whole village. They even stole the money for smuggling from neighbors. Will anyone take revenge for them? In theory, there is, but the possibility is relatively small."

"What the next four people have in common is that they all work alone in country E or country N. If they are not targeted by Yin Zhen, although they may not be able to live a prosperous life, at least they will not be killed." Ming Shu supported Chin, his eyes swept over the photo, and just when he stopped on Jin Yue's photo, the phone rang.

At this time, the members of the serious crime team had dispersed to investigate the background of the victim.

It was Fang Yuanhang who called.

"Master." Fang Yuanhang's voice was different from usual, and Mingshu felt something was wrong when he heard it, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I found one thing." Fang Yuanhang swallowed, "When Jin Yue was in China, he once helped a child."

"Yu Dalong."
