Madness of the Heart

Two cases in parallel.

When Ming Shu and Xiao Yu'an went to Los Angeles to search for clues to the tomb, the special operations team of the Ministry of Public Security intervened in the investigation of the tragic death of Li Guozhong and Li Liangyou's father and son in Xiaben Village, Yuanhai County.

At first, the police in Yuanhai County and Hailu City were unwilling to hand over the leading power of investigation to the special operations team, and only wanted the special operations team to perform the functions of supervision and guidance. The reason was that the special operations team came from afar and did not understand the local customs , Handling the case directly may encounter many difficulties.

Shen Xun—the person in charge of the special operations team—smiled decently, but didn't give half of the face when he said it, "You know the customs and customs of Xiaben Village, and you won't encounter difficulties in handling the case, but why is the case of the Li family and his son so far? It’s been 12 years, and you still haven’t brought the murderer to justice?”

The local police had never had contact with the elites of the special operations team. They were all young people, and the principal was only in their thirties. Messed up.

Shen Xun's attitude was very tough. On the second day after arriving in Xiaben Village, he led the team to investigate.

The special operations team has a special status, and has the power of action and decision-making power that the local police cannot match. Always think about yourself, and let yourself go back to the special operations team every year to experience the unfettered addiction of investigating in different places.

Shen Xun joked with him at that time, saying that this is not impossible, but he can't bully the younger members as soon as he arrives in the special operations team like before.

How could he bully the little team members when he thought he was upright and heroic?After pondering for a long time, I realized that what Shen Xun was talking about should be the time when Leran was drunk and teased Leran with other team members.

Once Shen Xun made a decision, the police in Yuanhai County would not only be unable to participate in the investigation, but would also be subject to a malfeasance investigation.

As Mingshu expected, the case of Li's father and son is not difficult to solve. As long as you make up your mind to investigate, there will be a result soon.

The most important witness in the murder case, Li Liangyou's girlfriend at the time, Li Chunyan, is still unmarried and destitute, taking care of her elderly parents alone.Shen Xun went to her home to visit her in person, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard a low cry.

Xiaben Village is no longer the backward fishing village that didn't even have a TV signal. Li Chunyan has learned from the media of the crimes Li Hongmei committed to expose the truth. She feels guilty all day long and shed tears.

"In the past 12 years, I have never failed to confess to my good friend, but at that time, I really had no choice."

Li Chunyan's face is old, and she has long since lost the bright beauty that young guys chased after more than ten years ago. Her withered and yellow hair covered half of her face. She poked softly, her voice was crying.

"You are from a big city. You don't understand that the village head in a place like ours is the emperor of the old days. Li Shuxian is the son of the village head, and that is the prince. I watched Li Shuxian's people find good friends, Abo was beaten to death. Li Shuxian threatened me, saying that if I did not testify to him, my father and brother would also be beaten to death, and I would be raped by them in turn..."

In the back room, the old man's suppressed lament was heard.

"Li Shuxian asked me—'Do you believe that I can cover the sky with one hand'?" Li Chunyan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but new tears welled up, "He said that in Xiaben Village, he and his father were Wang Fa, If he is capable of killing Liangyou and Uncle, he is capable of killing my whole family. He also said that his family has something to do with being in the county, and the county will sell his father to save face."

Speaking of this, Li Chunyan raised her face and looked out at the calm sea through the window, "Tell me, what is the difference between people like us and those fish stranded on the beach? Liangyou and Abo are dead. Yu Li Shuxian, is there any other choice?"

Shen Xun said, "Now you have other choices."

Li Chunyan got up slowly, trembling in the dim light, "My body has been crippled by Li Shuxian. He raped me and forced me. I thought I would never see this villain pay the price in this lifetime. Fortunately, fortunately, you are here. I Waiting for you, I have been waiting for too many years."

Shen Xun sighed, "Sorry, we are late."

After layers of investigations, ironclad evidence of collusion between Xiaben Village and Yuanhai County officials and gangsters surfaced.Li Shuxian's father, Li Yuge, who is currently working in Luhai City, was suspected of murder, bribery, abuse of power, and organizing a gangster, and was investigated in isolation.Li Shuxian himself was also controlled in Hailu City.The police who investigated the case of the Li family father and son admitted that the clues at the scene were clear, and the perpetrator was the thug recruited by Li Shuxian.

As the investigation progressed, villagers in Xiaben Village came forward one after another to identify the crimes of Li Shuxian and Li Yuge. in the public eye.

The special operations team will stay in Yuanhai County for a period of time. What Shen Xun means is that since they are here, they cannot let go of any filth, and they want to wipe out all the darkness in Yuanhai County and even Hailu City.

"Alright, the filth in a small place is the most annoying, and it's time to clean it up." Xiao Yu'an stood by the window with his mobile phone in his hand, and the golden light of the sun fell on the tree branches outside the window and fell on him, "If you find out If the truth about Li Hongmei's family is gone, I will not be happy if there is a guy with a strong sense of responsibility on my side."

"Forgive me." Shen Xun smiled lowly, "Tell him that Xiaben Village and Yuanhai County are on me. If he really wants to come, that's fine. The door of the special operations team is open to him at any time."

"I'm afraid it won't work now." Xiao Yu'an also laughed, his voice was lower than Shen Xun's, "He still has an unfinished case in his hands."

"Ah-choo—" Mingshu sneezed, and said to himself, "Who's talking about me again?"

Xiao Yu'an gave him a day off. He slept until after 10 in the morning. When he turned around, he was alone on the bed.He moved to the place where Xiao Yuan had been lying, hugged Xiao Yuan's pillow and sniffed, no matter whether it was the quilt or the pillow, there was no residual warmth.

This shows that Xiao Yuan got up very early.

He lay down for a while, put on a pair of pajama pants, rubbed his hair, walked all the way to the living room, then to the kitchen, and even called "Brother" three times, but got no response.

He pouted, making sure that Xiao Yu'an had left him and went to the Criminal Investigation Bureau alone.

"It seems like you don't need to rest." Mingshu muttered and went to the bathroom to wash up. Before he finished rinsing, he heard his stomach growl.

"Hey, I'm hungry." He bit his toothbrush, looked at the sleepy face in the mirror, suddenly remembered the "indecent photo" that was taken yesterday, froze for a moment, and then laughed to himself, using I don't know what the tune is humming in a daze——

"Good thing, good thing, you are a good thing, good good thing..."

After washing his face, he shaved his beard carefully, went to the kitchen and turned off the pigeon soup that was simmering on the stove, untied the lid and smelled it, "Tsk, it smells so good."

My elder sister Xiao Jinlan hadn't been here recently, and there was no pigeon at home. This pigeon could only be bought by Xiao Yu'an from the vegetable market early in the morning.

Mingshu licked his lips, swallowed, took out a bowl for eating, just wanted to scoop it up, but found it was not big enough, it was too troublesome to fill bowls one by one, so he simply found a big bowl for soup, and put all the soup with the pigeons Poured out.

It was only after pouring that I saw clearly that there were actually two pigeons.

"Fuck me." Mingshu held the chopsticks, "Is it so edible in your heart? Eat two at once? How about leaving one for you?"

10 minute later.

Mingshu finished eating the first one, looked at the second one in the big bowl, and changed his mind, "Hey, I forgot to take it out just now, it's already stained with my saliva, and the pigeons are best eaten while they are fresh." Well, the taste will change if you leave it at night, I'd better eat it for you."

Another 10 minutes passed.

Mingshu put the chopsticks in the big bowl with only bones left, and slumped on the seat to rub his stomach.

"belch--"

"I can eat too much."

"You really know me."

After 12 o'clock, Ming Shu had already packed the kitchen and living room while humming a song, and even washed the clothes he and Xiao Yuan had changed.

Among all the housework, he is best at "washing". He washes dishes, clothes, and fruits. He is not only fast, but also very clean.

The reason is not because he is hardworking, but because he can't cook.

Xiao Yuan contracted the food for the family, and he was willing to wash clothes for Xiao Yuan.

When he finished drying the last piece of clothing, he lifted his trousers and found that the hem of the trousers was almost slipping to the seam.

I bought these trousers online. When I unpacked them, I found that they didn’t fit. They were too big, but they cost tens of dollars. I didn’t bother to change them with the store. .He didn't wear anything inside, hung the empty gear, and squeezed out some "color waste" as soon as he turned his head.

"Brother, are you in the bureau?" He typed on WeChat, "Are you busy?"

Xiao Yu'an returned quickly, "Are you up? I'm not busy now."

Mingshu: "Then I want to report something to you."

Xiao Yu'an: "Huh?"

Mingshu: "When I got up in the morning, I just picked up a pair of pants and put them on. They were too loose and kept sliding down, almost slipping onto my legs."

Xiao Yu'an: "And then?"

Mingshu: "Are you really not busy? Is there anyone else around?"

Xiao Yu'an: "No."

Ming Shu: "Then I'll tell you?"

Xiao Yu'an: "Okay."

Also comes with a smiley emoticon that comes with the system.

Mingshu: "I was hooked by my strong front, so I didn't slide down, hahaha!"

After 1 minute, there was no reply. Mingshu felt bored, first sent his big head emoji package, and then typed: "It's still supported now, brother, do you want to see it?"

Xiao Yuan still ignored it.

Mingshu thought about it, fuck, didn't something happen suddenly, was it seen by others?

Wait, the phone is still silent.

Ming Shu: "Ju Xiao?"

Ming Shu: "Deputy Director Xiao?"

Xiao Yu'an finally replied: "Good things are really powerful."

Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you reply to me?"

Xiao Yu'an: "I'm imagining the way my good stuff's pants slide down."

Mingshu: "..."

Ming Shu: "Brother, you can't imagine such an unaesthetic picture!"

Xiao Yu'an: "Then what picture do you want to imagine?"

Mingshu: "Of course it's the picture of my strong front hooking my pants!"

Xiao Yuan directly sent a voice this time.

When Mingshu heard it, it was actually a laugh.

A deep, loving, teasing laugh that touched the eardrums.

Ming Shu didn't blush from the hot pigeon soup just out of the pot, and didn't blush from the heat when he was doing housework, but now he blushed from this burst of laughter.

He was already sitting on the carpet, but when he lay down now, he rolled on the carpet in a shapeless manner, and as a result, he really wiped his pants down.

Xiao Yu'an's message came again: "It's all the same."

Mingshu was still immersed in the voice message just now, "Huh? Everything is the same?"

Xiao Yu'an: "Whether your pants fell off or not, it's very beautiful to me."

Mingshu's hand that raised his trousers stopped, his face burned even more, and he cursed in a low voice: "What is Deputy Bureau Xiao, it's obviously Fox Xiao! Rogue Xiao!"

Finally put on his pants, Mingshu typed: "I'm coming to the bureau right away."

Xiao Yu'an: "Have you had enough rest?"

Mingshu ran to the bedroom, "Eating two pigeons is not enough."

Xiao Yu'an didn't stop him, "Come on, drive carefully."

Throwing the phone on the bed, Mingshu began to search for clothes in the closet.

Most of his clothes are in another house, but there are not none here. After finding out a set, he paused and took out a pair of Xiao Yuan's underwear from the drawer.

"Xiao Huhu, who told you to provoke me!"

In the afternoon, there were not many people in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and half of them had gone out to work.

When Mingshu came to the serious crime team, he had already packed himself up to look like a human being, and even adjusted his expression. He was a capable and handsome criminal investigation elite, and he was completely different from the "good thing" who was so sticky to Xiao Yuan at home. people.

Yi Fei just rushed back from the Technical Detective, and when he saw him coming, his eyes lit up immediately, "Ju Xiao gave you a holiday, and you came here so early."

"It's early in the afternoon?" Mingshu laughed, "Luo Xiangfu's case has not been solved, and there is no way to relax during the holiday. And brother, don't pretend, your eyes have changed when you see me, but you miss me right?"

Yi Fei approached and thumped him on the shoulder, "Isn't this nonsense, when did you leave and I didn't miss you? Let me tell you the truth, I was expecting you to come quickly this morning, but in the end I was looking forward to it. I just hope that your apprentice will come, he said that Bureau Xiao gave you half a day off to go to Los Angeles, and you may not come until afternoon or evening."

Ming Shu: "Tsk, how could it be possible to come here at night, the case is on my head, I have to wait until night to come, my conscience should hurt."

"You still have a conscience." Yi Fei threw a pile of reports on the table, looked around, pulled Ming Shu aside, and said in a low voice, "There is something I need to tell you."

Ming Shu and Yi Fei have been partners for many years, and they can judge the seriousness of the matter just by looking at each other's expressions.

"Is it related to my going to Los Angeles with Director Xiao?" Ming Shu asked.

Yi Fei nodded, "Tianliang team came here a day ago, and they are not very satisfied with you and Director Xiao putting down Luo Xiangfu's case and chasing after Luo City. I think what he meant, it should be because he was angry with Director Li. I was originally I want to tell you, but I am afraid that it will affect your actions in Los Angeles. Fortunately, you and the brother departments in Los Angeles have found the evidence of the crime in the tomb heart, otherwise it will be difficult for Team Liang and Director Li to deal with it."

"I guess Liang Zhao will have an idea, but Li Ju..." Mingshu didn't finish, and changed his words: "Forget it, we don't know what Li Ju means. Liang Zhao can say whatever he likes. Now the serious crime team It’s not under Liang Chao’s control. Fang Yuanhang and I went to Los Angeles was approved by Director Xiao, and Director Xiao must have discussed it with Director Li.”

Yi Fei said, "That's true."

Mingshu asked: "I'm not here, did Liang Chao make things difficult for you?"

"No." Yi Fei leaned against Mingshu's table and sighed: "I am a little convinced of this Xiao Bureau now. It is really courageous, resourceful, and very decisive. You dare to go to the clues like the tomb heart." Chase. There have been so many similar cases across the country, and he is the only one who has given so much support to his subordinates, and in the end he took the initiative himself. If Team Liang is still in charge of our serious crime team, the cases of Lu Kun and Li Hongmei will definitely be closed directly. This clue can't be dug up at all."

There was a hint of pride in Mingshu's heart, but the expression on his face was still the same as before, "It's up to the superiors to change the leaders. It has nothing to do with us front-line criminal police. We just need to do our own job well. The leaders No matter who it is, the duty of our crime team is to solve the case."

Yi Fei smiled, "You really didn't stay in the Ministry of Public Security in vain. Not only have you matured since you came back, but your field of vision has also changed."

"Kind up to me." Mingshu joked.

"Who flattered you." Yi Fei said, "I really praise you, my good brother."

"Don't!" Mingshu rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, pointed to his arm, "See, goosebumps have arisen."

The two chatted for a while, and the topic naturally shifted to Luo Xiangfu.

Part of the serious crime team's police force has been transferred to Los Angeles, but this does not mean that the investigation of Luo Xiangfu's case has been temporarily shelved.

Before Xiao Yu'an went to Los Angeles, he drew up two lines of investigation for Yi Fei, one was to continue digging into Luo Xiangfu's social relations, and the other was to investigate the accumulated cases in the past three years.

Investigating the backlog of cases is the most troublesome. Many clues were not found at the time of the crime, and it will be even more difficult to find later.

Yi Fei said at the time: "Actually, Team Ming and I have also considered starting from the accumulated cases, but it is too difficult to screen, and it is probably useless."

"The criminal police need to be mentally prepared to do useless work." Xiao Yu'an said: "For the time being, we will first investigate the accumulated cases of the victims who are between 60 and [-] years old."

Yi Fei worked hard, and really dug out a clue that no one knew before.

The vast majority of street photographers will post their photos of handsome men and women on social platforms or professional photography websites.Luo Xiangfu registered four accounts on related websites, but uploaded very few photos.He doesn't seem to know how to share his works with others on the Internet. He saves them on his own computer, retouching and admiring them, and often sits alone in front of the computer until midnight.

This is also one of the reasons why his wife Kang Yu dislikes him very much.

But now, the serious crime team has found out that Luo Xiangfu sent the printed photos to a southwestern border town called "Snake Tea" by mail.
