Madness of the Heart

"Master, what is this?" Fang Yuanhang asked.

Mingshu's fingers holding the badge turned slowly, wisps of rusty light reflected in his pupils.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the commemorative badge awarded to the winners of individual assessments by the Criminal Investigation Major Students' Union in a certain year.He got several of them himself, but after graduation, he moved a few back home and couldn't remember where he received them.

This badge is very unique, it can be said to be unique, and it was designed by the top student in their dormitory.The meaning of the student union chairman was to model uniformly, with the fronts the same, and the single item engraved on the back.However, Xueba has his own ideas. The overall badge is round, but the details of each individual item are different, and the painted lines on the front are also different.

Mingshu frowned deeply, as if his heart was tightly grasped by something.

How could "Yin Zhuo" have this badge?

The badge is placed here along with a note that says "rest in peace". "Rest in peace" represents "Yin Zhuo"'s commemoration of Duan Yun and the promise of revenge.What about badges?This badge is an important item of "Yin Zhuo", and "Yin Zhuo" wants to use the badge to show his determination to revenge?

Mingshu pressed the corners of his lips, his eyes deepened—could it be that "Yin Zhuo" was a classmate in college back then?

The badge is very rusted, and the painted patterns on the front can no longer be seen clearly, but the outline of a small half of a grenade can be vaguely seen.

Throwing a grenade was not included in the individual assessment.

The hustle and bustle of the old age is from far to near, and the scene of the boys' dormitory ten years ago is brought to the front by the yellowing time.

"Why did you draw a grenade?" Yang Jing, shirtless, pointed at Xueba's design.

"The bomb disposal device is too complicated to draw." Xueba said.

"Then you can't draw a grenade instead?"

"I'm the designer, why don't you care about me? Quiet, give me back!"

Mingshu suddenly took a deep breath and murmured, "Bomb disposal assessment..."

Fang Yuanhang didn't hear clearly, "Master, what did you say?"

At the turn of spring and summer in the junior year, after the theoretical exam and before the comprehensive actual combat began, the "individual hegemony" was in full swing.

During college, students majoring in criminal investigation have been going through individual assessments, large and small, since they entered the school, but this time is the largest one and the last one.Because as soon as you enter the senior year, everyone will be assigned to various grassroots positions and start internships.

Mingshu is not very strong only in theory and some cultural courses, and it is a long-term leader in individual and comprehensive practical combat.But even so, not all individual firsts will be in his pocket.

Bomb disposal is an extremely patient and meticulous job, and it is not a compulsory subject for criminal investigation majors.He failed to win the championship in this category, and he didn't even make it into the top ten, and he couldn't remember who the winner was.

"Yin Zhuo" is the winner of that year?Now he has become the mastermind behind a series of murders?And provoke the Dongye City police?

The light in Mingshu's eyes flickered slightly.

If "Yin Zhuo" is indeed his classmate, then "Yin Zhuo" is not actually provoking the police of Dongye City, but himself as the head of the serious crime team?

But why?

Mingshu tries his best to remember, but he can't remember which classmate he had an affair with.Moreover, during his studies, and even later when he became a policeman, he has been covering his family background carefully, and his family background should not be the place where he is hated.

Badges and notes are undoubtedly extremely important clues. After coming out of the forest, Ming Shu immediately contacted Xiao Yu'an.

"Your school's individual winning badge?" Xiao Yu'an paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly sank, "Where are you now?"

Ming Shu was startled, and understood that Xiao Yu'an was worried about him, "Xiao Ju, do you also think that 'Yin Zhuo' is coming after me?"

"It's easy to find out who the badge belongs to." Xiao Yu'an said, "Send me the detailed photos later, and then go to the Xiangshan City Bureau immediately, and don't go out for the time being."

At this time, the car was driving on the mountain road, and it would take at least an hour to return to Xiangshan City from here.

The driver was Fang Yuanhang, and Mingshu looked at the towering ancient trees beside the road, "I really can't figure out how one of my classmates would want to provoke me. I have never offended my classmates."

"People who are hated sometimes don't know why they are hated. A small thing or a thought may become a demon that the hater can't let go." Xiao Yu'an's tone was somewhat commanding, "You first Go back to the city bureau and leave the rest to me."

Mingshu wanted to say "I have a sense of proportion", but after thinking about it, he obediently agreed.

Ke Zheng was also in the car, overheard some of the conversation, and asked cautiously, "Yin Zhuo is also a policeman?"

Mingshu looked at him, "What do you remember?"

Ke Zheng shook his head quickly, "He looks like a policeman, but he told Duan Yun that he was a soldier. I always thought that he was just like a policeman. Anyway, I think policemen and soldiers are similar."

This is the question that Mingshu is least willing to face. Could it be that a policeman set up this complicated murder situation?And this policeman is still his classmate?To provoke him in addition to revenge?

Wait, provocative?

Mingshu's eyes suddenly opened.

He has no idea who this person is, and he has no idea why this person hates him.But one thing is beyond doubt, that is, if this is true, then this person must be peeping at him close by, and it is impossible to stay away.

So it's in Dongye City?

If it is not in Dongye City, then there must be some special way to learn about his current situation.

After graduation, his former classmates were scattered all over the country, and he was the only one working in Dongye City.

Suddenly, a gust of cold air rushed straight into his mind from the soles of his feet, and a figure that had long been blurred appeared in front of him.

Yang Jing mentioned not long ago that their old classmate Xun Xiaoyun was cooperating with the Municipal Bureau, and Fang Yuanhang said that Xun Xiaoyun came to the Municipal Bureau more than once as an expert.

He knew nothing about Xun Xiaoyun's arrival, so what about Xun Xiaoyun?Does Xun Xiaoyun know that he is the person in charge of the Serious Case Team of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Dongye City?

Xun Xiaoyun...

Mingshu tried to recall this person again, but his impression was too thin.During college, except for several group confrontations, he and Xun Xiaoyun had almost no intersection.

"Who won the bomb disposal championship in my junior year? Why did I suddenly think of this?" Yang Jing seemed to be busy, "It's not me anyway. Hey, don't you want to show off your eight winning badges?"

"Eight yuan?" Mingshu couldn't even remember.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" Yang Jing yelled, "How much do you forget, nobleman?"

"I really can't remember." Mingshu said, "How many years ago."

"You're hurting my self-esteem." Yang Jing joked: "I remember you got eight yuan, but you forgot? You were still proud at the time, saying that seven yuan can summon the dragon, and you have more Come up with a piece."

Mingshu thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.He was too flamboyant in his early twenties to sink his mind, that's what he could say.

"Forget it, it's normal that you can't remember." Yang Jing said, "I can't compare to you, so I'm deeply impressed, and I'm especially jealous."

Mingshu thought about the word "jealousy" secretly, and the cold sweat broke out unknowingly.

"But I can think about it. And you are my brother, so I'm jealous." Yang Jing laughed twice, "I really don't remember the one who won the bomb disposal prize, or you can ask Xueba. Badge He designed it, and I reckon he remembers."

Xueba's surname is Xu, and he has never been to the grassroots. He is now a young backbone teacher of the Criminal Investigation College.

Mingshu made a phone call, Xueba said slowly, "It's Xun Xiaoyun from bedroom 206."

Although he was prepared, when he heard the name, Mingshu still tensed his muscles, "Are you sure?"

"I have a very good memory." Xueba said, "I remember all your complete student ID numbers. Do you want me to recite it to you?"

Mingshu's face turned pale, and cold sweat instantly oozes from his back.

"Then do you remember, what conflict happened between me and him?"

"This..." Xueba thought for a while, "I remember that he likes to take you as a target, but he is always inferior to you, and he has a very strong determination to win."

Mingshu was surprised, "Why don't I know?"

"It's strange if you know. Because you are the powerful one, you can only see people who are stronger than you in your eyes, and you won't look back at those who chase you." Xueba was Mingshu's favorite talk in the dormitory back then. A person with great principles, now a teacher, speaks one thing after another.

You can only see people who are stronger than you.

Mingshu repeated this sentence in his heart, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

From childhood to adulthood, until today, he has been chasing after Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was indeed the only one in his eyes.

And never realize that I don't look back at those who are chasing me.

Is it really?

Xueba asked: "You suddenly asked me about the badge, and found that the bomb disposal winner was Xun Xiaoyun. Lulu, did something happen to Xun Xiaoyun?"

Xueba didn't participate in the investigation, no matter how good the relationship was, Mingshu couldn't reveal the case to him, so he could only ask, "What else do you know about Xun Xiaoyun?"

"Hmm..." Xueba became more and more unhurried, "He and you are both assigned to Dongye City."

Mingshu immediately said: "Impossible."

"Really." Xueba was very sure, "You are in the city, and he is in some town below. Although they are all in the same city, the city bureau and the town police station are very different."

Liu Zhiqin rushed to Dongye City from the special operations team.

The matter that Mingshu asked him to investigate before has already taken shape. "Yin Zhuo" learned that Duan Yun was sold to Country E in Xiangshan City three years ago. As Ming Shu expected, "Yin Zhuo" did indeed learn about the victims and audience of Yin Zhen's game through network intrusion.

"Someone, like me and Xiao Ming, has been to Cherish's home. Based on the traces of intrusion, I locked several devices, all of which are related to a technology company." Liu Zhiqin said, "It's called 'Star Security', and Your Dongye City Bureau seems to be a cooperative relationship. Xun Xiaoyun, the boss of 'Xingchen Security', is Xiao Ming's college classmate."

"I checked Xun Xiaoyun by the way, and the known information is that he has been to Xiangshan City, once seven years ago, and at least three times in the past three years." Liu Zhiqin continued: "In addition, Xun Xiaoyun also I have been to country E, and all aspects seem to match your profile. Now I suspect that he may be 'Yin Zhuo'."

The serious crime team's investigation in Gezhong Town also made progress. During the period between Cao Zhiya's murder and He Yang's murder, a man over 1 meters tall came into the police's field of vision. He bought water in a convenience store three times. , instant noodles, and paper towels are all paid in cash.

The technical team processed the images, and this person was Xun Xiaoyun.

"Xun Xiaoyun used to work here." Old man Tan said, "I hadn't retired at that time! The superiors told us that this is a high-achieving student who came to the township to train, and he will develop in the city in the future. We should take good care of him. We can also learn from him and learn advanced criminal investigation techniques. But unfortunately, he resigned after not working for long."

Badges, network traces, surveillance information buried in the primeval forest... Now all the clues point to Xun Xiaoyun, Mingshu's classmate.Xiao Yu'an immediately ordered a thorough investigation of this person's background and locked down his whereabouts.

Yi Fei asked: "Do you know why Xun Xiaoyun resigned?"

The old man Tan narrowed his eyes, thought for a long time, and sighed: "He didn't say it clearly, but according to my observation, he seems to think that our small place is not enough to display his ambition. If I want to recall, I think this Young people are too competitive. I was also competitive when I was young, but not like him. The law and order in our Gezhong Town is quite good, and there have been no major cases for several decades—this time is an exception. ——Didn’t we policemen also come here? He, in less than a year, can’t take it anymore and must leave.”

Yi Fei asked again: "He didn't try to get transferred elsewhere? He just resigned?"

"I'm not sure about that." Old Tan shook his head. "I guess he fought for it, but he didn't. In fact, I don't think he should be a policeman anymore. He has a mentality problem. If he continues to work, something will happen sooner or later." The police are no different than other professions, the police must be honest..."

"Star Security" is a company registered in Los Angeles, and the police circles of Los Angeles City and Dongye City cooperate closely, which is easy to handle.

Hua Chong, head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau, personally took people to "Star Safety" for investigation, and learned that Xun Xiaoyun had hardly appeared in the company after the Spring Festival this year.

"Mr. Xun has always been like this." Li Zhang is one of the top executives of "Star Safety", and also a veteran employee of Xun Xiaoyun in the early days of his business.According to him, starting a business was difficult seven years ago. Xun Xiaoyun regarded the company as his home and had almost no life of his own. Later, the company's situation got better and better, and he gradually made a name for himself in the industry. Only then did Xun Xiaoyun gradually decentralize power.

In recent years, except for important business direction issues, Xun Xiaoyun has not participated in management very much, and seems to be doing his own business.

But what Xun Xiaoyun is doing, Li Zhang, as a veteran employee, is not clear.

"I guess, Mr. Xun worked too hard a few years ago, and now that the company is on the right track, he wants to live a more unrestrained life." The respect in Li Zhang's eyes is very sincere, "He enjoys the benefits for us by himself. It’s also good, a lot of things are up to us. We all like to work under him.”

But at the same time, Li Zhang also revealed a question of his own, "We have a cooperation with the Dongye Municipal Bureau, and we developed their mental intelligence assessment system. Our experts sometimes need to go to maintain it. A few years ago, President Xun He often does this kind of thing in person, but in my impression, he will not debug it himself in the past few years. But for this project in Dongye City, he goes there in person every time."

Checking the timeline, Hua Chong found that it was three years ago that Xun Xiaoyun began to delegate power and no longer devoted himself to work as in the past.

"I'm at Xun Xiaoyun's house." Hua Chong held the mobile phone in one hand, and wiped the edge of the table with the other hand, staining a thin piece of dust, "Xun Xiaoyun hasn't been home for a long time, and he kept it in the drawer of his study for seven years. For the train ticket to and from Xiangshan City, the computer stores the information of Yin Zhen, He Yang and others. And..."

Hua Chong paused for a moment, and then said: "There are also news reports from the Dongye City Serious Crime Squad over the years, as well as Xiao Ming's photos. Director Xiao, Xun Xiaoyun is indeed a major suspect."

Xiao Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan, "Still unable to locate Xun Xiaoyun's current location?"

Zhou Yuan was sweating all over his head, and said anxiously: "No, I can only locate him in Ge Zhong Town a week ago!"

Liu Zhiqin also said: "Xun Xiaoyun's mobile phone has been completely disabled, and it cannot be located by communication and the Internet."

"Among the audience of Yin Zhen's game back then, only Kong Mingxuan is currently in China." Yi Fei said: "Xun Xiaoyun disappeared, either to continue revenge, or because he knew that he had been exposed, so he evaded the police's pursuit. Kong Mingxuan is in danger."

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "Shen Xun has sent people to Chaocheng where Kong Mingxuan is. She is completely under the protection of the police. If Xun Xiaoyun chooses to deal with Kong Mingxuan at this time, he will be in a trap. It is possible to escape."

"Xun Xiaoyun can't escape." Xiao Yuan frowned, "Everything he did in Dongye City implied a demonstration and provocation against the police. It is now clear that he is provoking Mingshu."

Yi Fei's eyes showed surprise, "If Xun Xiaoyun didn't take Kong Mingxuan seriously at all, then it's Xiao Ming who he's going to deal with in the end?"

To the end, the number of words suddenly decreased.Some readers have already discovered that the old classmate is the man who appeared in the SWAT team in the second unit.Maybe most readers don’t remember this person, so let me briefly talk about the scene at that time. When the “damn” little girl saw him, he called Lin Jiao “Teacher Lin”, and Lin Jiao immediately took the little girl away.Lin Jiao is a top psychological expert (although he has ghosts in his heart), he can see that this person has problems, so he doesn't want to have too much contact with him.
