Madness of the Heart

Hou Jianjun couldn't accept that his son had been killed, and kept staring at Mingshu with cloudy eyes.Over the years, Mingshu has dealt with countless family members of the victims, but every time he faces a new family member of the victim, he still feels helpless.

As the saying goes, "unfortunate families are unhappy in their own way".

The criminal police will not become numb because they are used to seeing misfortune.

The pain is always profound and distinct. They were able to arrest a murderer like Hou Cheng in the end, but they could not restore a complete family.

Compared with Yang Nanke, Hou Pao's murder is even more distressing.

He may not be good at expressing his love for his father, or he may be eager to get out of the countryside. His relationship with Hou Jianjun, in the eyes of outsiders, has never been close.But those two insurance policies are enough to show that Hou Jianjun has always been his most important relative.

After discovering that he was ill, Hou Pao didn't tell anyone around him. He was desperate and went to work in a place like Fenxue Tiantang. Whether he was ignorant or stupid, this was the desperate struggle of a young man at the bottom.

Is Hou Pao trying to make money for medical treatment?

Still know that I can't provide for Hou Jianjun, so I burn it one last time to save enough money for Hou Jianjun?

"I guess, Hou Yao wanted to save a sum of money for Hou Jianjun." Hua Chong said, "Hou Yao only went to the hospital twice, and the doctor suggested hospitalization. He only took medicine once, so he probably gave up."

"If he tells Hou Jianjun..." Mingshu thought for a while, "If the old village head sells the fields and the house, maybe he can pay for his treatment."

"He won't do that." Hua Chong sighed, "A serious illness can bring down a middle-class family, let alone a rural single-parent family like his. He doesn't say anything, he just doesn't want Hou Jianjun to know. If he leaves, At least the rest of Hou Jianjun's life will not be too poor."

Mingshu shook his head, "But he never thought that Hou Jianjun would regret and suffer for the rest of his life."

After a while, Hua Chongcai continued: "This may be the most correct decision he can make."

Mingshu couldn't refute.

People have all kinds of struggles and helplessness, and others are not qualified to judge a person's choice in a desperate situation.

"I'll send Hou Jianjun to the hospital." Mingshu got up and said, "Then go directly to the high-speed rail station from the hospital."

Hua Chong said, "You'd better take a rest."

"It's okay, I can sleep on the high-speed rail." Mingshu smiled, "Let's go, next time I will invite you and Teacher Liu to drink."

Hou Jianjun was speechless when he was sent to the hospital, and several criminal policemen from the Los Angeles City Bureau were traveling with Mingshu.After getting Hou Jianjun settled down, it's not too far before the high-speed rail drive time.Ming Shu was about to rush to the high-speed rail station to join everyone, when he suddenly heard a commotion upstairs.

A sentence he heard often recently stimulated his nerves——

"Damn you! Damn! I'll kill you!"

In just a moment, he realized that there were patients or family members upstairs who were beating the doctor.

He quickly brushed aside the crowd and rushed to two floors, and sure enough, he saw a group of people wrestling together.

There were several screams from the center of the chaos, and blood was already on the ground.

"Help!" someone shouted, "Doctor Wang has been stabbed! He has a knife!"

In an emergency, the security guard's reaction was always slow. Mingshu saw the blood-stained knife, and immediately rushed over, jumped high, kicked the knife with his right foot, and kicked the knife out with a "slap".

The assailant clutched his wrists and fell to the ground screaming, Mingshu cut his hands back hard.

Only then did the security arrive, and several people went up together to suppress the assailant.

Dr. Wang, who was stabbed, was stabbed in the thigh and has been carried onto the push bed.

The scene was chaotic. When the police from the police station arrived, the assailant was still shouting: "The man surnamed Wang can't cure my mother. Why are you protecting him? He deserves to die!"

Mingshu sealed the knife in an evidence bag and handed it over to the police. The police thanked him in a hurry and said, "This Liu Hui has come to make trouble many times. He insisted that it was Dr. Wang who killed his mother. We found out clearly that Dr. Wang had nothing to do with it. Why should the place of dereliction of duty deserve to die? Hey, the most troublesome thing now is the problem of doctors and patients..."

"The most troublesome thing is hostility." Mingshu murmured, "It's the tendency to think others deserve to die."

The police didn't hear clearly, "Ah? What did you say?"

"This person has been suspected of intentional injury." Ming Shu said, "Take him back and investigate carefully."

Because of this sudden accident, when Mingshu arrived at the high-speed railway station, the train had already left, Xiao Yuan changed his ticket and waited for him at the entrance.

"They're all gone?" Mingshu asked.

Xiao Yu'an said, "No, your apprentice said he would wait for you."

"Tsk, there's no need." Mingshu recalled that the tickets before the ticket change were connected, and everyone was in the same car, and he didn't know if they were still together after the ticket change.

He actually doesn't really want to sit with Fang Yuanhang and the others, it's not that he has any unscrupulous thoughts, it's just that he has been exhausted since he came to Los Angeles, especially in the past few days, he is so tired that he is almost overdrawn, and he really wants to be safe. Leaning firmly on Xiao Yuan's shoulder to sleep.

If the team members are all there, then he can't rely on it at all.

"It's already been dispersed." Xiao Yuan easily saw through his thoughts and said, "It's too late to change the ticket, and there are no connected tickets. There are only two of us in the No. 8 carriage."

Mingshu heaved a sigh of relief, and checked the ticket together with Xiao Yuan to enter the station.

This train was the last of the night, no different from a "red-eye flight".There were no children in the carriage, and the passengers were almost all asleep, and it was eerily quiet.

Mingshu was worried that Fang Yuanhang would come to find him on a sudden whim. When the train just left, he fell on Xiao Yuan's shoulder for a while, and sat up straight again for a while.

Xiao Yu'an said, "Don't worry, sleep, I'll call you if you need anything."

He was really tired, and after receiving this guarantee, he leaned on Xiao Yu'an and fell into a deep sleep.

The train sailed towards Dongye City smoothly under the night, Xiao Yuan's profile was reflected on the mirror-like window glass.

Ming Shu first rested on Xiao Yu'an's shoulder, and then slipped onto Xiao Yu'an's lap, dreaming constantly.

The case was still being investigated in the dream, but the result was completely opposite to reality.

He put Luo Xiangfu's urgent case aside for the time being. Because of the few clues in the two cases of Lu Kun and Li Hongmei, he went to Los Angeles to deal with Hou Cheng, but in the end he couldn't prove Hou Cheng's guilt.

Hou Cheng didn't kill Yang Nanke, nor did he kill Hou Pao. He just wrote a few suspenseful books, and only conveyed the idea that "some people deserve to die" in the books. There is nothing wrong with the review process of the publishing house. Hou Chengjian Said that he did not incite potential criminals by writing a book.

There is no Xiao Yu'an by his side, only the former leader Liang Zhao.

He still wanted to investigate further, he had already seen madness, cruelty, and gloomyness in Hou Cheng's eyes, but he couldn't get the key evidence to bring the other party to justice anyway.

Tombstone's book is still prominently displayed on the best-seller shelf.

There are still many people silently chanting "some people deserve to die", and then picked up the butcher's knife.

The incidents of killing noisy children and "irresponsible" doctors continued to occur in various cities. The murderers were obviously fans of Tomb Heart, but Tomb Heart was at large and even published a new book.

The theme of the new book is killing the police.

Liang Zhao gave him an ultimatum, ordering him to return to Dongye City immediately.He wanted to buy time, but Liang Chao was furious, and reprimanded him, as the leader of the serious crime team, for not rushing to solve the case at hand, but instead doing meaningless things, putting the cart before the horse, and suspected of dereliction of duty.

Tomb Xin bribed the marketing team and poured dirty water on him on the Internet. Netizens began to insult him and the police.

He was attacked one after another, so he had to rush back to Dongye City, and when he stepped into the Criminal Investigation Bureau, another murder case happened again—the victim was like Luo Xiangfu, a male in his 60s, and a street photography enthusiast.

Liang Zhao called him to the office and gave him a hard reprimand, saying that the suspect this time was either the same person who killed Luo Xiangfu, or he committed an imitation of the crime. Anyway, he had nothing to do with Luo Xiangfu's case, and said that if he hadn't run away halfway Going to Los Angeles, the case has already been solved, and the No.2 victim will never die.

He was already blaming himself very much, but at the same time he was chilled by Liang Chao's reaction.

All this time, Liang Zhao never really trusted him.

The only person Liang Zhao trusted was himself.

The dream was messed up in the end, he leaned on Xiao Yuan's lap, humming uncomfortably.

Xiao Yu'an was putting one hand on his shoulder, closing his eyes and resting his mind. Hearing his voice, he lowered his head to look, moved his hand to the back of his neck, and gently rubbed it soothingly.

Not long after kneading, he woke up.

Xiao Yu'an's eyes reflected the night outside the window, he was calm and quiet, "What did you dream about?"

Mingshu didn't distinguish between dreams and reality for a while. Before he woke up, he was being investigated by the investigation team of the provincial department for dereliction of duty. He repeatedly explained why he went to Los Angeles to check the tomb, and the officials of the investigation team all looked indifferent.

No one believed him, no one supported him, no one stood behind him.

In another city, someone shouted "some people deserve to die" and killed an old woman in her fifties because she was bullying a young man on a bus and insulting a young man who refused to give up her seat.

Mingshu saw Xiao Yu'an's face clearly, and finally came to his senses, stood up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, where are you?"

"There are still more than 20 minutes." Seeing that he was about to rub his eyes, Xiao Yuan immediately patted his hand away.

This time the force was very light, but Mingshu shrunk his mouth.

He would only do this kind of small action when he was alone with Xiao Yuan.

"What did you dream about just now, you haven't said yet." Xiao Yu'an said.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Mingshu recounted what happened in the dream, and gently held Xiao Yu'an's hand, "Brother, I think I'm very lucky. You let me go to the tomb, and you kept giving me advice , Correct my mistakes. You have also made arrangements for Dong Ye. Without your support this time, Hou Cheng must still be at large."

Xiao Yuan turned his hands back, inserted his fingers into Mingshu's fingertips, and changed the handshake posture into interlocking fingers.

"I said, I am your backing, you can rely on me." Xiao Yu'an slightly increased the strength in his hand, "Once you let go of some cases, it will become an unsolved case. After a long time, it will be difficult to solve it if you want to solve it." It's even more difficult. Some people you already suspect TA, you should investigate to the end. Criminal police need keen intuition, and you did a good job."

Mingshu felt a little relaxed, "You praised me again."

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "Why, can't you bear the praise?"

"That's not true." Mingshu's eyes brightened, "I like to hear it."

After chatting for a while, the train has already entered Dongye City, and it will enter the station in a few minutes.

Mingshu got up to take the bag on the suitcase, and pulled up the T-shirt, revealing a section of his belly.

Xiao Yu'an helped him pull up the hem of his clothes quietly.

"I'm still sleepy." Mingshu yawned, "I couldn't sleep well in the car, and I still had nightmares."

"Go back and sleep on the bed." Xiao Yuan took the bag from him, "Don't come to the bureau tomorrow morning, you can sleep until any time."

Mingshu raised his eyebrows, "Is the boss encouraging me to miss work?"

"Come back one day earlier, just to give you a holiday." Xiao Yuan said: "I've had enough sleep, come back tomorrow afternoon. If I haven't slept enough, I can come the day after tomorrow."

"Hey..." Mingshu curled his lips, "With a boss like you, I will be proud of him."

"I'm proud of you." Xiao Yu'an said according to his words: "The boss makes you proud."

Mingshu suppressed his voice on purpose, "Boss, you can't do this, it's time to stop, and I have to talk to Fang Yuanhang and the others later."

Xiao Yu installed as if he didn't understand, "Huh?"

"Don't talk to me in this tone again." Mingshu covered his face, "Didn't you realize that you made me blush?"

Xiao Yu'an just laughed, and when he heard the sound of the car door opening, he stopped messing with him.

The team members gathered hastily at the exit and went home.Xiao Yu'an not only arranged half a day off for Ming Shu, but also treated everyone on business trips equally, allowing them to come to the bureau tomorrow afternoon or evening.

"I don't need to rest!" Fang Yuanhang was the only one alive and kicking among the criminal police present, "Master, I'm going to work tomorrow morning."

Forgive him with a glance, "If you are told to rest, rest, how can you be so energetic in a day?"

"Is it wrong to be energetic?" Fang Yuanhang laughed, "Anyway, I don't have a wife at home, so staying at home is meaningless."

The attack surface of these words is too broad. Most of the criminal policemen don't have wives, and neither does Mingshu.

Feeling the sudden silence in the air, Fang Yuanhang realized belatedly, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Yu'an smiled to smooth things over, "If you have no partner, go back and sleep well, get enough energy, and solve Luo Xiangfu's case as soon as possible."

The high-speed rail station is a little far from the city center, just in the same direction as Xiao Zhai.

Mingshu naturally went home with Xiao Yuan, saying that he wanted to take a bath to relax, but he fell asleep after lying in the bathtub for a few minutes.

Xiao Yu'an tidied up the bedroom, heard that there was no sound in the bathroom, and expected him to fall asleep - this kind of thing had happened before, so he gently pushed open the door of the bathroom with a thick towel, looked at it, and sighed with a smile.

Mingshu's posture at this time is really not elegant.

One leg is resting on the edge of the bathtub, the other leg is sticking to the wall tiles, with both hands resting on the back of the head carelessly, as if a horizontal knife is on the way, the head is slightly tilted, and he is snoring softly.

In the entire Criminal Investigation Bureau, and even the entire police circle of Dongye City, Ming Shu was the one who cared the most about demeanor, but it was obviously exhausting to show this image to others at this time.

Xiao Yu'an thought it was funny, but also felt a little heartache. Seeing that the water was still hot and wouldn't cool down for a while, she simply put down the towel, went back to the living room to get her mobile phone, and took a picture of Ming Shu's naked body sleeping on his back.

Forgot to close the shutter sound, "click", Mingshu seemed to hear it, and hummed twice in dissatisfaction, but he didn't wake up, moved a few times and became honest again.

Xiao Yu'an remembered that when he first agreed to Mingshu, Mingshu's burden was as heavy as a mountain. He was afraid of showing a little bit of ugliness.

It's different now.

The "ugliness" is revealed.

Xiao Yu'an bowed down and hugged Ming Shu up, only to hear the sound of "crash", the water gushed out and almost wet his chest, abdomen, legs and feet.

Mingshu didn't wake up.

He wrapped the person in a thick bath towel, carried him to the sofa, wiped off the water and took the towel away, and didn't put any clothes on him, only put a thin silk quilt around Ming Shu's waist.

Ming Shu didn't have any nightmares this time, and slept soundly. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he saw a small light in the living room, and Xiao Yu'an was missing.

He stood up, the thin quilt fell to the ground, the silk slipped from his body, and it itched for a while.He looked down and found that he was not wearing anything. He scolded Xiao Yuan for being irresponsible, and walked towards the bedroom and study with bare feet, shouting, "Brother?"

Xiao Yuan was leaning on the bed, holding her cell phone.

Mingshu thought that Xiao Yu'an was still busy with work, so he rushed forward to grab the phone, but not only failed to grab it, but also slipped on the sole of his foot and fell on the bed.

In fact, this fall was somewhat deliberate.

The leader of the dignified serious crime team, if he can fall down like this, it would be too bad.

Xiao Yuan patted his side and motioned for him to come over.

"Did I fall asleep in the bathtub just now?" Mingshu arched a few times, and leaned over to Xiao Yuan's side, "You picked me up, why didn't you pick me up on the bed? And let me go by myself, even my underwear If you don’t set one up for me, will you talk about civilization?”

"I think you are quite comfortable not wearing underpants." Xiao Yuan's facial features looked very gentle under the light of the bedroom, "I didn't wear them for you."

"How could it be?" Mingshu said, "I'm uncomfortable, I never play hooligans."

Xiao Yu'an smiled but wasn't smiling.

Mingshu's back tensed, "Brother, why do you smile so treacherously?"

"treacherous?"

"Sexy! Is it okay to be sexy?"

Xiao Yuan shook his phone, "Come on, let me show you something good."

Mingshu quickly stretched his neck, "What's so good..."

With "Sy" still stuck in his throat, he yelled, "Fuck! What the fuck is that doggy pose?"

The person in the photo is sleeping very soundly, and is also very imageless.

"Did I sleep like this just now?" Mingshu wailed, "I don't believe it! It's impossible! Brother, I shouldn't be like this in your eyes!"

Xiao Yuan let him snatch the phone, seeing him anxious, "The truth is, you still snore, but it's a pity I didn't record it for you."

"I want to delete it." Mingshu said while pressing on the phone.

Xiao Yuan didn't stop, "Delete it."

"I really deleted it?" Mingshu raised his eyelids.

"I told you to show you a good thing. You have seen it, so of course you should delete it." Xiao Yu'an said, "It will be troublesome if someone else sees it."

Mingshu really deleted it, put away the phone and said: "What kind of good thing is this, don't take pictures in the future."

"Why is it not a good thing?" Xiao Yu'an's eyes were deep, and Ming Shu was shrouded in his eyes.

Mingshu understood immediately, and muttered: "The good things have been deleted."

"It's okay." Xiao Yu'an pulled him into his arms, "The photos of the good things have been deleted, but the good things are still there."
