Madness of the Heart

If Yang Nanke is still alive, he should be 27 years old this year.

Three years ago, he lived in a small city in the north near the border——Lucheng, which was extremely far away from Luocheng.He once studied in a third-rate university in the provincial capital city of his hometown. After graduation, he returned to Lucheng, found a leisurely job, and set his sights on a house in the center of the city. His parents Yang Juncheng and Huang Xia paid the down payment. My elder sister, Yang Yan, who is five years older, supports the monthly payment.

With the support of his family, Yang Nanke lived a happy life. Before the age of 24, he had several girlfriends one after another, but they didn't last long. When he returned to his parents' house, he was nagged by Huang Xia.

The Yang family is not a wealthy family, but Huang Xia and Yang Juncheng have stable jobs, and their income is considered above-average in Lucheng.As the youngest son of his family, Yang Nanke was spoiled and grew up. He couldn't listen to discipline and would get angry when he was disciplined.After parting ways with his girlfriend again, he quarreled with Huang Xia at the dinner table, threw his chopsticks and left, leaving a sentence "Don't fucking bother me again" in the corridor.

Huang Xia was also angry, and it was useless for Yang Juncheng and Yang Yan to appease her.

Yang Yan suggested to deal with it coldly first. Anyway, my younger brother has a house, a job, and an income. He can't be hungry or cold. The family will be separated for a while, and the younger brother will come back naturally when he understands.

Half a month later, Huang Xia missed her son, but after a phone call, Yang Nanke's cell phone was shut down.She dragged Yang Juncheng to the community where Yang Nanke was located, took the spare key to open the door, and found that the tables, chairs and sofas were all covered with gray cloth, and the breath of life had long since disappeared.

Huang Xia panicked immediately.The couple went to Yang Nanke's company to inquire, and the person in charge was full of surprise, "Yang Nanke resigned ten days ago, saying that he wanted to see scenery that he had never seen before. Hey, in fact, he just resigned and traveled. Young people have no sense of responsibility and don't move at all. I just want to see the world. Why, you don’t know?”

Knowing that Yang Nanke was on a trip instead of having an accident, Yang Juncheng was a little relieved, but Huang Xia was still terrified and shed tears, "I shouldn't have quarreled with Ke Er, it's all my fault, he must have quarreled with me , I went out for a trip when I was in a bad mood. He is alone, what should he do if something happens on the road?"

Yang Juncheng persuaded Huang Xia to go home. The couple did not have the awareness to call the police. They did not contact Yang Nanke until a month later, and they went to the police station to call the police accompanied by Yang Yan.

Yang Nanke was traveling abroad and severed contact with his family on his own. In fact, he did not agree with the conditions for filing the case.However, no matter what kind of business in a small city, the operability is relatively high.

Under the guidance of the Yang family, the police began to file a case for investigation, and determined that after Yang Nanke resigned from the company, he traveled by car, and the last time he left his identity information was in a village 900 kilometers away from Lucheng.

The Yang family begged the police to continue to investigate, but in this case, further investigation is likely to be a waste of police force.Finally, the police collected Yang Nanke's DNA information at Yang Nanke's home.

It was this missing person DNA information that determined who the remaining blood in the basement of Hou Cheng's home came from.

There is a picture of Yang Nanke on the internal system of the police, he is a fair and handsome young man.

Xiao Yu'an sent the photo to Ming Shu who was still in Qingyue Village. Ming Shu found Hou Ximei and Wang Youqun, and they both nodded, "That's him! That's him I saw!"

After learning from Xiao Yu'an that his melon field had been opened, Hou Cheng's mood became very unstable.

Despite the hard evidence, he still refuses to admit that he killed Yang Nanke.

"Why do you say that I killed people? Just because of that little bit of blood?" Hou Cheng called Yang Nanke "Xiaolong", which is probably Yang Nanke's usual pseudonym when he hitchhiked. His skin was broken and he bled a little, so you think I killed him? You can go to Qingyue Village and ask, someone must have seen him leave my house at that time! I didn’t kill him!”

According to Hou Ximei's testimony, Yang Nanke did leave Hou Cheng's house one morning.

But this does not prove that Hou Cheng is innocent.

Hou Cheng could have deliberately let Yang Nanke leave, and when Yang Nanke walked out of Qingyue Village out of the sight of the villagers, he could catch up quietly and bring Yang Nanke back in a car with a pre-thought-out reason.

Hou Cheng's house was originally at the corner of Qingyue Village. Yang Nanke was sitting on a tricycle. As long as the cover was good enough, it was easy to avoid everyone's sight.

Xiao Yuan observed Hou Cheng for a while, then suddenly changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about Yang Nanke for now, let's talk about your parents first."

Hou Cheng's face became extremely ugly, "You have no right to disturb their rest!"

"Then what qualifications do you have to bury them in the melon field?" Xiao Yu'an said: "The government protects the burial tombs in the past, but this does not mean that you can dig out the bones buried in the tomb and bury them in the melon field .”

Hou Cheng panted, "They are my parents, I can bury them wherever I want! The graveyard is too far away from me, I can't feel them, it would be nice to be buried in the field, so close to me, I work hard every day I can see them, and they also look at me, bless my melon fields with a good harvest!"

Xiao Yu'an said, "I've never seen someone as filial as you."

These words obviously stimulated Hou Cheng, Hou Cheng's eyes burst into light, "Of course! I love my parents, I always feel that they are still by my side, I am not married, and I have no children. I accompany them day and night, of course I He is the most filial person in the world!"

A person who considers himself the most filial.

A person who doesn't care about the old father of the village chief.

Hou Cheng and Hou Pao, an unimaginable but logical motive for committing the crime loomed.

Xiao Yu'an had already grasped this point and asked: "So for you, don't people who have no filial piety deserve to die?"

Hou Cheng was immersed in a strong mood of self-appreciation, and said loudly: "Being unfilial to your parents is the greatest sin! Not only should you die, but you should also be cut into pieces!"

Xiao Yu'an's heart sank.

Hou Pao may have been killed because of unfilial piety, and the reason for Yang Nanke's murder may also be unfilial.

Some people deserve to die.

Tomb Heart not only "hunts the devil" in the book, but also raises the butcher knife of "hunting the devil" in reality.

"I didn't kill anyone." Hou Cheng gradually calmed down, "Xiaolong only lived in my house for a few days, and I don't even know his real name!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Are you willing to plead guilty only if I find Yang Nanke's bones?"

Hou Cheng's eyes were as huge as lamps, and he stared at Xiao Yu'an arrogantly but fearfully.

"The case has been investigated for this reason, and my team members and I are dissecting everything you took pains to hide." Xiao Yuan stood up, solemn and majestic, "We can even find Yang Nanke's blood, can't we still find it?" His bones?"

Hou Cheng couldn't help shaking, his shoulders slumped down, as if thinking of some possibility, the fear in his eyes overwhelmed his arrogance, "You..."

"You advocated 'demon hunting', and before you wrote 'demon hunting' into the book, you had already completed the 'demon hunting' in reality." Xiao Yu paused, "Not only that, you also learned from the process of killing Yang Nanke. Inspired by."

Hou Cheng's eyes widened even wider, almost stretched to the limit.

"That's why the killing process you write is always so vivid, so...exciting." Xiao Yuan lowered his eyelids under the bright light, "When I read your first book, I thought about why your protagonist stuffed one of the victims It’s too unreasonable to enter the cemetery. Where can he be stuffed with people in the cemetery? Isn’t it easier to expose yourself to the sight of the police? Just now I suddenly figured it out. You are a typical example of “art comes from life.” '."

Hou Cheng's complexion was pale, and his wrinkles kept trembling.

Xiao Yu'an said: "More than ten years ago, you dug your parents out of the burial tomb and buried them in the melon field without anyone noticing. Three years ago, you killed the unfilial Yang Nanke in the basement of your home. When the smell of the corpse became more obvious and you had to move the corpse away, you were scared, confused, and didn’t know where to bury it. It’s not safe for you, except for your own melon field, no matter where you leave the body, you are worried about being found. But your own parents are buried in the melon field, and Yang Nanke’s burial is a blasphemy against your parents.”

Hou Cheng shook his head, "No, that's not the case!"

Xiao Yu'an ignored it, and continued: "Where will it be buried? Where will it not be discovered? You suddenly thought of the cemetery in Qingyue Village. The burial tombs on it will not be removed for at least the next 30 years!"

"Ah!" Hou Cheng roared, and slammed his fist hard on the interrogation table.

"Death is the most important thing. It is indeed the safest way for you to transfer Yang Nanke's body to your parents' burial tomb." Xiao Yu'an said, "Now, do you still think I can't find Yang Nanke's bones?"

"What?" Mingshu asked in surprise, "Yang Nanke is in the tomb of Hou Cheng's parents?"

"Yes." Xiao Yu'an's voice came from the phone, "I have already discussed with the flower team, and I will send a group of special police there immediately. As soon as they arrive, you immediately seal off the graveyard and open the burial tomb of Hou Cheng's parents."

Mingshu took a deep breath.

Opening a burial tomb in the countryside is no small matter, that's why Xiao Yu'an and Hua Chong sent special police here.

Not long ago on the graveyard, he had such concerns, and heard the village cadres repeatedly emphasize that "death is the greatest", so he didn't open the tomb.

Now Xiao Yu'an said with certainty that Yang Nanke was buried in the tomb of Hou Cheng's parents.

Then this burial tomb had to be opened.

It was already midnight when the special police arrived at Qingyue Village.Hearing that the police were going to open the grave, almost all the villagers came out.Several village cadres wanted to stop them, but they received a call from Hou Jianjun on the way.

Hou Jianjun was staying at the city bureau, his voice was very old, "Let them drive! Let them drive! Hou Cheng committed a crime, we don't want to cover him!"

Under the leadership of the village cadres, the villagers retreated outside the warning zone.

Half of the tomb was illuminated like daylight, and Mingshu stood by the tomb, watching the tomb sealer open the tomb with his own eyes.

The two coffins were placed side by side in the grave, which made people feel a bit of chill inexplicably.

The tomb sealer put down the cement slab and stepped aside, unwilling to touch the coffin.

In the hearts of ordinary people, it is unlucky to open the tomb of a person who has passed away for decades.

Ming Shu raised his chin towards Fang Yuanhang, "Let's come."

The lid of a coffin was removed, and there was nothing inside.

The detectives looked solemn. Although they were used to seeing all kinds of corpses, this was the first time they had dug up the coffin to find the bones.

The lid of the second coffin was also slowly removed, and what appeared inside was a huge cloth bag full of old blood.

A mild odor filled the air, and many criminal policemen pulled the masks on their faces.

"I...fuck me!" Fang Yuanhang swallowed hard, holding a corner of the cloth bag with his gloved hand.

The cloth bag is not heavy and can be pulled out with one hand.

The forensic doctor cut open the cloth bag, and everyone frowned.

Not long after the ossification of the corpse was complete, the soft tissue was gray and attached to the bones like mud.

"This is Yang Nanke." Fang Yuanhang looked at Mingshu, "Is there no one else but him?"

Ming refused to answer, and asked the forensic doctor: "Can you preliminarily determine the cause of death?"

The forensic doctor picked up the severely damaged head and said after a while: "The brain suffered a blunt force blow."

A cruel picture unfolded in front of Mingshu's eyes - three years ago, in the dark basement, Yang Nanke was looking at something, totally unprepared, Hou Cheng quietly appeared behind him, raising the tool hammer in his hand.

Before sunrise, the blood test results came out, and the blood on the cloth bag and the blood in the basement belonged to Yang Nanke.

At the same time, his father Yang Juncheng and sister Yang Yan had already arrived in Los Angeles, and what awaited them was a pile of cold bones.

Yang Juncheng collapsed on the spot, crying loudly in the city bureau, his voice echoing in the hall illuminated by the rising sun——

"Who killed my son!"

"why why?"

"Nan Ke! My son! Dad is sorry for you!"

Finally unable to deny it anymore, Hou Cheng listened to Yang Juncheng's shout, and suddenly let out a weird and penetrating laugh.

Mingshu personally sent Yang Nanke's skeleton back to Los Angeles and stayed up all night. At this time, he slapped his palm on the interrogation table like a gavel.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Hou Cheng puffed his eyes, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he slowly began, "Yes, I killed Xiaolong, because he deserves to die! Why do you judge me?"

Mingshu said coldly: "You killed someone, committed a crime, and still want to escape the punishment of the law?"

Hou Cheng shouted: "I didn't kill anyone!"

Mingshu said: "Did you forget? Just a minute ago, you said that you killed Xiaolong."

"But I didn't kill people." Hou Cheng said excitedly: "I killed demons! What I called to kill were also demons! They have a piece of human skin, and they are no longer human!"

Mingshu paused every word, "You are finally willing to admit that you wrote a book calling for killing!"

"Some people deserve to die! They deserve to die!" Hou Cheng suddenly stretched out his right index finger and middle finger, poking his own eyes, "I can see much more clearly than you policemen! You are wearing police uniforms, Putting on Wei Guangzheng's airs, but only knowing how to protect the devil, and saying that the crime does not deserve death, you are all the devil's accomplices, you deserve to die!"

Xiao Yuan folded his arms beside the monitor and watched the situation in the interrogation room.

Mingshu was not angered, "You think Yang Nanke deserves to die? Why? Didn't you kill him to give yourself a false identity? To play your trick of inversion and inversion?"

Hou Cheng's hands were already in handcuffs.

He struggled frequently, making loud noises.

"Yang Nanke is not filial." He said, "I am helping his parents get rid of harm!"

Ming Shu said sharply: "Full of nonsense!"

At this time, in the reception room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Los Angeles City Bureau, the white-haired Yang Juncheng was almost unconscious from crying, and Yang Yan was also crying.

In Lucheng, far away, Huang Xia fell ill after learning the news of her son's death, and she is still in the hospital for rescue.

Yang Nanke has been missing for three years. With the police unable to do anything, the Yang family has never given up hope. They have been using their own methods to find the whereabouts of their son, waiting for his son to return safely.

Even though Yang Nanke was unfilial, they chose to forgive.

Their biggest wish is to see Yang Nanke standing in front of them again, even if they continue to make troubles about changing girlfriends, even if they continue to ask their family for money.

Hou Cheng actually said that by killing Yang Nanke, he was doing harm to Yang Nanke's parents.

What absurdity!

Mingshu couldn't help but think of Lu Kun.

After Lu Kun killed the two children, he also said that they deserved to die, and that he was killing harm for the people.

But no matter how evil a child is, he shouldn't be judged by Lu Kun's knife.

Whether Yang Nanke is filial or not, he deserves to die, let alone judged by Hou Cheng.

These people who use the banner of "some people deserve to die" have gone completely crazy.

In an extremely excited state, Hou Cheng began to tell the story of killing Yang Nanke——

Three years ago, Hou Cheng was stopped by Yang Nanke, who was carrying a travel bag, on his way back to Qingyue Village from the town.

"Uncle, can you give me a piece?"

Hou Cheng doesn't like to interact with people, but Yang Nanke insists on getting in the car.

On the way, Yang Nanke talked endlessly, almost showing off his experience of traveling from the northern border to the south.

Hou Cheng asked: "You are young, so you don't work anymore?"

"What's the job?" Yang Nanke said disdainfully: "I have only one son in my family, and there is an older sister who is already married. My parents bought a house for me, and my sister and brother-in-law pay the monthly payment. I am now a homeowner. Sooner or later, the house at home will be mine too, so tired of work, why not come out and see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, and go home and eat the old when the money is gone!"

Hou Cheng stepped on the brake and looked back at Yang Nanke.

Yang Nanke was shaken so hard by the sudden brake that he nearly hit his forehead against the iron gate.

He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Uncle, are you messing with me?"

Intense indignation welled up in Hou Cheng's chest.

Unlike Yang Nanke, whose parents are still alive, he lost his parents when he was a teenager.

He was born in Qingyue Village and lived with his father Hou Jiangfeng and mother Xu Hong for 11 years.

At that time, he was not lonely, but introverted, and he preferred to go to the fields to help his parents with farm work than to play with children of the same age.

The elders in the village said that the child was too clingy, like a baby girl.

When I was 11 years old, it was raining throughout the spring and summer, melon fields were hit by disasters, households had no harvest, and it was almost impossible to uncover the pot. Hou Jiangfeng said to Xu Hong, Xiaocheng spent a lot of money to go to school. I went to work in the city, and you were at home. Rest well and take care of the kids.

Xu Hong insisted on sending Hou Jiangfeng into the city, but the CMB encountered a landslide on the road, and a carload of people were buried inside. When the troops arrived, both Hou Jiangfeng and Xu Hong were dead.

Hou Cheng became an orphan, living alone on pensions, old houses, and melon fields. The most regrettable thing when he became an adult was not having the opportunity to honor his parents.

More than ten years ago, he dug up the bones of Hou Jiangfeng and Xu Hong and buried them in the melon field, imagining that every watermelon produced was a gift and blessing from his parents.

What he despises the most is Yang Nanke, an unfilial son who is in the midst of blessings and does not know his blessings.
