Madness of the Heart

A striking silver off-road vehicle sped past on the not-so-spacious road, knocking over the stalls along the way one after another, spilling eggs and vegetable leaves all over the place, and people fled in all directions screaming.

A black sedan followed closely behind the off-road vehicle.

Compared with crazy off-road vehicles, sedans are obviously driven much more cautiously, so they are thrown off by off-road vehicles from time to time.

Passing through the most crowded section of the city center, the off-road vehicle turned to the southern suburbs.The engine roared loudly, and the leathery wheels rolled up sticky mud.The car followed closely, and the distance between the two cars kept shrinking.

Mingshu held the steering wheel and stared at the off-road vehicle in front of him.

In the driver's seat of that car sat Xun Xiaoyun, an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years-a criminal he didn't expect.

Serial revenge, provoking the police, and finally, this person provocatively came to him.

Xiangshan City is located in a remote mountainous area with a lack of police force. Xiao Yuan asked him to stay at the city bureau temporarily and not act rashly. However, Xun Xiaoyun suddenly appeared, and a photo of Xiang Lin being bound on the roof was also sent to his mobile phone. Naturally, he did not want to Maybe ignore it and wait for Xiao Yuan and the special operations team to arrive.

Xiang Lin——Xiang Haoming's father—has been missing for many days, and it turns out that he was controlled by Xun Xiaoyun long ago.

The off-road vehicle drove on the narrow winding mountain road for only two vehicles, and the speed hardly slowed down. The cliff turned sharply, the gravel collapsed, and the screams of the wheels on the ground severely stimulated people's nerves.

Mingshu's forehead and neck were covered with sweat, his teeth were clenched, and his spirit was extremely tense.

This place is at the border, and Xun Xiaoyun might want to cross the border.Once he is allowed to escape, it will be even more difficult to arrest him.

After climbing three steep hills one after another, the silver off-road vehicle suddenly stopped on a slope.Mingshu took a closer look and saw that the off-road vehicle backed away, leaving the mountain road and diving straight down the slope!

What exactly does Xun Xiaoyun want to do?

What's down the slope?

Mingshu is very clear that what is waiting for him is most likely a trap, but he has to chase after it, or chase it if he doesn't!

"呲呲呲-"

The car body bumped and bumped on the plants and stones, making a scalp-numbing sound, the scene in front of him shook violently, Ming Shu was dizzy and nauseated, his eyes were still fixed on the off-road vehicle in front of him.

Under the slope, a small gray three-story building suddenly appeared.

The small building was very dilapidated, only the framework remained on the third floor, and there was a shrill roar coming from the small building, which could be heard to be a man.

The off-road vehicle stopped outside the small building, Xun Xiaoyun got off the driver's seat, and waved to Mingshu, "Old classmate, long time no see."

Mingshu looked at the man with a sinister smile through the windshield of the car.

Xun Xiaoyun was wearing a black T-shirt and camouflage pants, a tactical vest was hung outside the T-shirt, a pair of dark brown cowhide boots on his feet, and a pistol in the tactical vest. rifle.

Although Mingshu chased in a hurry, he was also wearing a tactical vest at this time, and there was no lack of necessary combat equipment in the car.

The silence in the forest was unusual, and the man's painful cries were especially piercing.

"Get out of the car." Xun Xiaoyun suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "You chased me so long, didn't you just want to arrest me? I didn't think about running away, I just wanted to catch up with my old classmates , talk about what happened over the years. I guess, you must really want to know me now."

Mingshu unlocked the car door, maintaining complete calmness and vigilance.

Xun Xiaoyun is not quite the same as he remembered, not because his appearance has changed, but because of the paranoia and madness in his expression.

For such an old classmate, Mingshu only felt strange.

He never knew Xun Xiaoyun.But there is no doubt that Xun Xiaoyun has been watching his every move like a ghost.

When he said "You must really want to know me now", Xun Xiaoyun seemed very proud.

The field of vision outside the car was wider, and Mingshu saw Xiang Lin who was hanging on the frame on the third floor.

Xiang Lin hissed for help, but in this kind of place, even if a person screamed, no one would come to rescue him.

"Bang." Mingshu closed the car door.

"You have a lot to ask me." Xun Xiaoyun waved his right hand inside, "Shall we go in and talk?"

Mingshu's eyes are full of searching.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled, put away the pistol and rifle, put his hands together and waved forward, which meant "catch without a fight", "Old classmate, you have no other choice. You are a criminal policeman, you want to save people, and you also want to arrest them." Suspect, I, the number one suspect, is right in front of you, and I just want to have a few words with you before you arrest me."

"Let Xiang Lin go." Mingshu said.

"Of course." Xun Xiaoyun nodded, "After we finish talking, you take him away."

The building was empty, with only a few thick pillars on the first floor.Ming Shu leaned on a pillar, "Who is Duan Yun?"

Xun Xiaoyun's brows and eyes were sunken in shadows, but when he heard the word "Duan Yun", masseter muscles clearly appeared on his face.

"I thought the first thing you wanted to ask was, why did I target you." Xun Xiaoyun had a smile in his tone, but the smile was completely cold, "Old classmate, aren't you curious?"

Mingshu frowned, "I don't remember what I did to make you hate me."

Xun Xiaoyun laughed, "Because the winner never sees the unwillingness of the loser, does it?"

"loser?"

"You don't even know that I've been chasing you?"

Mingshu raised his chin slightly.In his memory, the intersections between him and Xun Xiaoyun were pitifully rare, and now they are almost forgotten.

"Sure enough, you look down on people who are not as good as you." Xun Xiaoyun said: "You don't even know that I have appeared in your work place many times, do you? Top students, you don't understand the pain of a chaser. Your kindness Brother Lu Yanzhou knows me, your apprentice Fang Yuanhang knows me, and even Teacher Lin at the Psychological Research Center knows me. Only you know nothing about my existence."

Xun Xiaoyun sneered, "It's good, now you have to face me."

Mingshu really didn't understand, he couldn't even figure out how and when Xun Xiaoyun followed him.

If we talk about a chaser, he is also a chaser. He chased Xiao Yuan, never knowing that chasing is also a kind of pain.

"When I was studying, I was overwhelmed by you everywhere. No matter what the event was, even if it was just a basketball game, as long as you participated, I would be a loser." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes widened suddenly, with a large area of ​​white eyes horrified, "I'm constantly Keep thinking, keep thinking, when can I surpass you, even if there is only one item!"

Mingshu thought of the rusty badge.Winning the Bomb Disposal was probably the only single first place that Xun Xiaoyun won during his college years, so he cherished it so much, and finally buried it as a vow of revenge at the place where he met Duan Yun.

Xun Xiaoyun said: "In order to beat you, I specialized in criminal psychology and self-study network security. In my senior year, I participated in network offensive and defensive confrontation and won a prize. Do you know?"

Mingshu has no impression.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled wryly at himself, "It's not surprising, your eyes couldn't see me, and you had already started your internship at that time. Not only you couldn't see me, but our teacher couldn't see me either. What is my award? Interpol Do you need this kind of nondescript award? Your photo is posted on the honor column of the school, because you participated in solving serious cases early as a police trainee. My trophy and certificate are kept in the dormitory, and no one cares about them. Criminal Minds, Back then, I was not recognized in the country. Old classmate, I was forced to a desperate situation by you step by step like this."

Mingshu felt that it was extremely absurd, Xun Xiaoyun clearly couldn't get out of the narrow desire to win, and had serious psychological problems, but he blamed it all on him.

He is just an imaginary enemy erected by Xun Xiaoyun unilaterally. If it wasn't for him, it would be someone else, Yang Jing, Xueba, anyone!

But by now, it is too late to pursue these.

"Seven years ago, after you left the criminal police team, you came to Xiangshan City to relax?" Mingshu asked.

Xun Xiaoyun was silent for a few minutes, "I was assigned to Gezhong Town, where no major cases would happen in one year, five years, or ten years. My colleagues are doing nothing all day long, on duty, on patrol, and it just goes by all year round. gone."

Ming Shu said, "Are you looking forward to a big case?"

"Don't preach to me, I don't like to listen." Xun Xiaoyun waved his hands impatiently, "What were you doing when I wasted my life in Ge Zhong Town?"

Mingshu thought about it for a while, since he left the campus, he has never really been free. Even if there are no serious cases in big cities, there are also small cases. Taking a step back, even if there are no small cases, newcomers will also be detained. To study and sort out the backlog.

"I always hear your name." Xun Xiaoyun said: "What case did Mingshu participate in the detection of, and what contribution did Mingshu make... But what about me? I am so close to you, Ge Zhongzhen, but Doing jobs that don't require investigative skills at all. Your future is the backbone of criminal investigation, the head of the serious crime team, and maybe you can be the chief of the bureau in the future. What about me? I don't see a future."

Mingshu said, "So you chose to resign?"

"I can't take it anymore!" Xun Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, "As long as I'm still wearing a police uniform, I can't stop myself from being compared with you! Every day I ask myself, why can't I catch up with you? But it's so different?"

Xun Xiaoyun's right index finger is parallel to his thumb, with a distance of less than one centimeter between them, "Why am I so unlucky? I just want a chance to solve a case to prove myself, but Ge Zhongzhen is so peaceful that there is not even a murder case!"

"But it's fine now." Xun Xiaoyun put down his hands, "They all say that safety is a blessing, and no major crime will happen in Ge Zhong Town, so I will let it happen!"

Mingshu said: "Did you choose to kill He Yang in Gezhong Town because of your frustration back then?"

"Can't you? I want to let the big case happen there!" Xun Xiaoyun sternly said.

Mingshu shook his head slightly.

"Let's go back. I went to see a psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist said that I need to adjust myself and get out of the inherent circle. Maybe I should go to a place with a good climate." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes gradually softened, "So I came here When we arrived in Xiangshan City, unfortunately, we got lost in the primeval forest as soon as we arrived, and almost died in it."

Mingshu said: "Duan Yun saved you."

Xun Xiaoyun took a deep breath, "It seems that you have made a thorough investigation. Yes, it was Duan Yun who saved me, not only saved me from the virgin forest, but also saved my life. He..."

Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be caught in the only good memories in his life, "He is my sun, and he did what no psychiatrist could do."

"Yin Zhuo, why don't you smile?" Duan Yun put fresh vegetables in the pool, "The weather is so nice today, please smile. You must be handsome when you smile."

"Yin Zhuo, you are very lucky!" Duan Yun took out the white and tender tofu from the basin, "You lost your way in the virgin forest, and you ran into me. God, how can anyone be so lucky?" ? You should buy a lottery ticket."

"Yin Zhuo, isn't the crispy fish you cook really delicious?" Duan Yun planed the rice with a great appetite, "I have never eaten such delicious fish. Let's discuss it, and I will eat it every day in the future." Send you food, how about you cook for me every day? Hurry up and promise, I'll call you brother!"

"Yin Zhuo, you are amazing. You can do everything. You can teach me some tricks tomorrow? I'll learn how to defend myself!" Duan Yun lay panting on the ground, sweating profusely all over her body. "When I was young, I had two wishes. One was to read University, the second is to be a soldier, you have done it, you are my idol!"

"Yin Zhuo, you really like to smile now!" Duan Yun showed her white teeth, standing in the sun, her whole body seemed to melt into the light, "That's right, life is actually quite beautiful, if there is a downturn , I will be your ladder!"

"I didn't tell him the truth." Xun Xiaoyun's voice became hoarse unconsciously, "My name is not Yin Zhuo, and I have never been a soldier. I am just a failed former criminal policeman."

"How can you say that a person is so kind? He can't see all my darkness and flaws. His eyes seem to only find my goodness, and he always praises me in different ways." Xun Xiaoyun said: " When I left Xiangshan City, I felt that I had come out, no longer obsessed with competing with you, looking forward, I could see hope."

Mingshu's fingertips felt cold.In Ke Zheng's description, he already knew how sunny Duan Yun is, and Xun Xiaoyun made all this more vivid.

Duan Yun is the sun.Xun Xiaoyun once had it, but at a certain moment, he lost it forever.

"I started to use my strengths to start a business. Criminal police were not suitable for me. I found my value in the IT industry." Xun Xiaoyun said slowly: "I devoted myself to my career. The company has developed into a leading company in the industry. I... I've made my mark, and I'm no worse than any of your old classmates!"

"I lied to Duan Yun back then. My identity was fake, and my experience as a soldier was also fabricated. Before I made a name for myself, I had no face to go to him." Xun Xiaoyun's voice trembled suddenly, "But when I can' Homecoming', he had..."

Grief seemed to seep into the air, and Mingshu felt despair, suffocation, and pain that was hard to untangle.

"Yin Zhen, He Yang, Jiang Xiyang, Yue Shuqing..." Xun Xiaoyun read the names of the audience in the game three years ago word by word, "There are such vicious people and such cruel things in the world. Why Duan Yun?" ? Why my sun?"

After a long time, Xun Xiaoyun murmured: "The struggle of those years was like a false dream. When the dream suddenly woke up, I was still the same as before. When Duan Yun left, he took everything away from me. I want to give him Revenge, but also... to defeat you."

Mingshu tightened the corners of his lips.

Xun Xiaoyun laughed dryly, "Excellent old classmate, Team Ming, I have already defeated you!"

"When I was a police student or a criminal policeman, I always competed with you. I couldn't compete with you. It was you who pushed me into a pit that I couldn't climb up. But being a murderer is very suitable for me. I commit crimes on your territory. You instigated others to commit crimes on your site, and all of them succeeded! You have been following He Yang for a long time, right? But so what? I tortured and killed He Yang under your nose! And all you can do is to find me The murderer!"

"The man upstairs." Xun Xiaoyun pointed upwards, "His son was killed by the little devil I 'taught', and he himself fell into my hands. So what if you solved the case? Xiang Haoming has already Dead. Old classmate, I won this round of confrontation between the two of us!"

Mingshu's face was solemn, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled again: "Have you also experienced the feeling of being a loser? What is the most failed thing about being a policeman? It is that you can't prevent the murder from happening! But I can. Zhou Lan and the three are like the seedlings I cultivated. They came to On the day of 'Ninth Battlefield', I noticed them and Xiang Haoming who was being targeted by them."

Xun Xiaoyun seemed like an arrogant victor, his voice became louder and louder, "Only I can stop that massacre!"

Ming Shu said solemnly: "But you not only did not stop, but imprisoned Xiang Haoming's father."

The laughter echoed in the empty building, and it was difficult for the listener to distinguish whether the laughter was joy or sorrow.

"I'm a murderer, not a policeman. Why should I stop it? I hope it will happen before it's too late!" Xun Xiaoyun's body was overflowing with hostility, almost turning into substance, and his facial features were distorted by hatred and jealousy.

If it is said that Mingshu just felt that he was not like his former classmate, now to Mingshu, he is a complete stranger.

"Among those damned people, He Yang is the most difficult one to deal with. He is suspicious, cunning, and cruel. Do you know how I killed He Yang?" Xun Xiaoyun said with a dark smile: "The Ming team is such an excellent criminal policeman. You should have thought of my modus operandi, right?"

"You and Cao Zhiya killed the foreigner Xichuan Lingmei, and you asked Cao Zhiya to approach He Yang as Xichuan Lingmei, and show He Yang a specific scene in the 'Ninth Battlefield'. Ordinary people will only because of those scenes Feel uncomfortable, but the antisocial personality will feel excited and attracted, and the evil thoughts in the heart will be further stimulated." Mingshu said: "I guess, those scenes were all designed by you."

Xun Xiaoyun nodded in satisfaction, "Continue."

"He Yang began to be interested in Xi Chuan Ling Mei, and Xi Chuan Ling Mei told him that she can not only design secret rooms, but also design real killing performances." Ming Shu said: "The one you gave to He Yang as a bug is Lai Xiuliang."

Xun Xiaoyun said, "That's right."

Mingshu's eyes were full of anger, but his tone was extremely restrained, "Nishikawa Suzumi has instilled in He Yang a concept many times - weak bugs are not worth killing, and playing with rich bugs is the fun of the superior. So the rich, And Lai Xiuliang, who has a strong desire to rise, became the best candidate. On the day Lai Xiuliang disappeared, it was you or Nishikawa Suzumi who told him that Mr. He invited him."

Xun Xiaoyun clapped his hands twice, "That greedy early-dead ghost, as soon as he heard it was good, he took the initiative to follow me and leave the science and technology park."

"I have a question." Ming Shu said, "Is He Yang really pleased by the game you prepared?"

"You know He Yang very well." Xun Xiaoyun said with a smile, "People like He Yang are really hard to please."

"So you killed Lai Xiuliang just to make him more interested in Xichuan Suzumi." Mingshu said: "The more he is interested, when he discovers Xichuan Suzumi's true identity, the desire in his heart will be stimulated even more. You appear in front of He Yang again and tell him about the relationship between Cao Zhiya and Liang Xiaojun."

"Mr. He, this is a game I designed for you." Xun Xiaoyun half-closed his eyes, "What is more interesting than killing an Avenger with your own hands?"

Mingshu asked: "Cao Zhiya is voluntary?"

"She is very grateful to me." Xun Xiaoyun snorted, "I told her the truth about Liang Xiaojun's death, and I took her to the place where Liang Xiaojun was killed. Of course, I didn't tell her until the end that if she wanted revenge, she had to do it for me. Die. I promise her that I will kill He Yang in the most cruel way."

Mingshu looked at Xun Xiaoyun, and suddenly felt many reptiles gnawing on the bones.

A person with serious psychological problems found the sun in his life in the darkness.But when the only sun disappeared, he instantly became a devil more cruel than the devil.

"After killing Cao Zhiya, He Yang finally relaxed his vigilance. He believes that I am a better game 'designer' than Zhou Shan. Only I can make him feel the ultimate game pleasure." Xun Xiaoyun's eyes flickered. With all the hatred, "he became my puppet, I asked him to wait for me in the basement, and he obediently waited for me there. You see, people are actually easy to manipulate, as long as you know what his greed is, then' Prescribe the right medicine'."

Taking a long breath, Xun Xiaoyun and Mingshu's eyes met, "Old classmate, do you admit it? You have lost to me completely! Even if you catch me now, what's the use? Anyone I want to kill is You have already been killed by me, your teammate is still guarding Kong Mingxuan in Chaocheng, right? But I never had her idea from the very beginning. The last person I wanted to kill was actually you!"

Mingshu's gun was already in his hand.

"Old classmate, if you want to blame those people, blame those people for killing my sun." Xun Xiaoyun said: "My illness has been cured by Duan Yun, and I can already walk in the sun dignifiedly like you. Others will only say , Don't be so determined to win or lose, but I can't convince myself, after much deliberation, only by defeating you can I be free!"

Mingshu's heart was shaken violently.

"In my junior year, I got a badge, Bomb Disposal. That was the only time I ever beat you. I took that badge as my pride, the only gift I could give. I gave it to Duan Yun, I vowed to avenge him." Xun Xiaoyun said: "Now, I have fulfilled my vow, and I look forward to meeting him again."

Mingshu found that Xun Xiaoyun seemed to be planning to end his life.

"But before that, I want to play a game with you." Xun Xiaoyun smiled sinisterly, "He Yang and Yin Zhen think that low-level people are bugs, but I, a bug, trampled them to death. I want to play a bug game. There is a bomb on Xiang Lin's body, and I set it up."

Mingshu's pupils tightened immediately.

Xun Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Setting and dismantling bombs is the only thing I can do better than you. I know that I am not kind. Old classmate, aren't you an excellent criminal policeman? It is your duty to save lives. Human lives are in front of you , It depends on whether you dare to save it or not."
