Madness of the Heart

Dongye City, Xicheng District.

At midnight, the "Black Leaves with Thorns" bar was full of people, and the rhythmic music overwhelmed all the whispers, almost toppling the roof covered with artificial spider webs.The crazy young man twisted his body to the beat of the drum, and the beer bottle in his hand shone faintly in the dazzling light.

This bar is one of the most famous nightclubs in Xicheng District. It is said that the owner has a lot of background and can speak on both roads. , The thugs will "clean up" them all.

There was a themed performance in the bar today. The captain of the security team, Brother Wang, transferred the most capable people in the team to the infield, and the rest stayed outside.

Summer in Dongye City is late for the fever to subside. It is hot when the sun shines on the head, and it is still hot when the sun disappears. Although the inner court is crowded and noisy, there is air conditioning anyway, and it is better than standing outside to suffer from the heat.

Before the performance started, Zhang Xiong deliberately found Brother Wang and asked the other party to let him go to the infield in his broken Mandarin.

Brother Wang didn't agree, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can't hold it inside, I know you are good at it, but don't talk about those men who are 1.8 meters tall, even women are taller than you in high heels."

When Zhang Xiong heard this, his face turned black, but Brother Wang is the little boss here, and even his immediate boss. He has just arrived and only has false certificates on him.

The night in the city is different from that in my hometown. At night in my hometown, the sky is dark, but the night sky here is purple.

Hearing the music and screams behind him, Zhang Xiong stared at the sky where he couldn't see a single star, and after wiping off his sweat with a wet towel again, he cursed with gritted teeth.

"What's the matter?" Xian Zai, who was also arranged outside, turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Xiong, are you so angry?"

Zhang Xiong stroked his shirt irritably - he didn't care much about wearing it, "Aren't you hot?"

Xianzai just laughed, "What does it matter if it's hot? Isn't it just sweating? Just treat it as a diet. Brother Wang let me in, but I'm too lazy to go in. It's crowded here, so it's not as spacious and comfortable as ours."

"But there is an air conditioner inside." Zhang Xiong's shirt was already soaked, and his body odor was coming out, which could not be covered by the inferior perfume.

"Tsk, so what if there is an air conditioner?" Xianzai said, "Brother Xiong, I see you always like to stand at the outlet of the air conditioner, just like when I was a child. Why, there is no air conditioner in your hometown?"

Zhang Xiong shook his head, "No."

Now I am happy, "How remote is that? By the way, you don't seem to have said, where is your hometown?"

Zhang Xiong was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the direction of the main entrance of the bar.

They were guarding the side entrance of the bar, which was quite a distance from the main entrance.

"Fuck, why is the police car here?" Xianzai saw the flashing red and blue lights, "Don't the boss have acquaintances in the bureau? Why did he suddenly come to check on us?"

Zhang Xiong's pupils tightened, and his complexion suddenly changed.

He seemed to want to run, but he was observing the movements of the police.

Xianzi stretched his neck, "They went in, why is this?"

The security guard on duty at the main entrance ran over and said that it seemed to be a routine inspection and the boss knew about it.

Now Zai suddenly became less nervous, "I just said, our place is the safest."

Zhang Xiong also heaved a sigh of relief.

But 5 minutes later, Brother Wang suddenly led a few policemen out of the side door, glanced at the security guards, stretched out his hand and said, "It's over there."

The sound was actually very soft, at least Xianzai didn't hear it, but Zhang Xiong seemed to smell a dangerous animal, his eyes turned cold, and he turned and ran quickly to the road.

The moment he turned around, two ununiformed police officers rushed out from nearby Brother Wang at the same time, tearing apart the night and heading straight for the fleeing man!

"Zhang Xiong!" Brother Wang yelled, and chased after him.

In an instant, police cars were speeding on the busy street, sirens were blaring, the vehicles in motion were forced to stop, and the screeching of brakes came and went, mixed with people's screams.

Zhang Xiong shuttled through the traffic like an extremely sensitive ape.

A taxi rushed towards him like out of control, and he dodged to dodge and rolled over the hood of the taxi.

After standing still, he suddenly turned his head and found that he hadn't been able to get rid of the two policemen!

The scar on his cheek looked even more hideous at this moment, as if he was about to come to life, and the strange dialect gushed out of his mouth, like a vicious spell.

The sirens were getting closer and closer, and so were the policemen who were chasing him. He hesitated for a moment, then opened the taxi door and dragged the driver out.

The driver was thrown to the ground, shaking with horror.

"You fucking dare to hijack a car!"

The one who was killed with this sound was the policeman running in the front.Zhang Xiong's pupils suddenly constricted, and before he could hit the gas pedal, he saw the policeman kick up and kick the window glass to pieces.

Ming Shu shouted: "Lu Yanzhou!"

"Here we come!" Lu Yanzhou followed closely behind, almost repeating Zhang Xiong's action of dragging the driver just now, and threw Zhang Xiong to the ground.

Zhang Xiong quickly turned over and wanted to resist, but the gun in Mingshu's hand was already aimed at his head.

This arrest operation started when Yi Fei found out that Zhan Huanxiong had left Liu Qicheng.

Zhou Yuan led the technical investigation team to use portrait tracking and found that Zhan Huanxiong arrived in Dongye City on June 6, and then appeared near Luo Xiangfu's house many times, and followed Luo Xiangfu from a distance when he went out to take pictures.

In mid-June, Zhan Huanxiong started working at the "Black Leaves with Thorns" bar.

After Ming Shu personally visited Zhan Huanxiong's home in Maoyi Village, he hurried back to Dongye City and immediately found Ye Chi, the owner of "Black Leaves with Thorns".This person looks elegant and elegant, but he was actually a man of the road in his early years. He experienced a case a few years ago and became Mingshu's "teammate" in a sense, providing a few clues to the police from time to time.It is for this reason that "Black Leaves Have Thorns" has never been investigated by the police.

"Is there something wrong with this Zhang Xiong?" Ye Chi flipped through the employee information, "He only came last month."

Mingshu said with a cold face: "The certificates are fucking fake, so you let him come to your site as a security guard?"

Ye Chi smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "My place is a place where filth is hidden, don't you know it best? If everyone who comes to work here is innocent, I can still help you." Besides, I'm not in charge of recruitment, if you don't come to me today, I don't even know that there is such a person under my command."

Mingshu slashed at him, and Ye Chi smiled immediately: "Just kidding, I still know that there is such a person, but I don't know that he is related to the case you are investigating."

Ming Shu approached the manager, and after asking, he found out that on the day Luo Xiangfu was killed, Zhan Huanxiong was supposed to be working, but he changed shifts with his colleagues on the grounds that he was unwell.

The next day, Zhan Huanxiong still did not return to his post.

Because of Zhan Huanxiong's special status, the arrest operation was jointly carried out by the serious crime team and the special police detachment.Lu Yanzhou put handcuffs on Zhan Huanxiong, and said to Mingshu: "Good guy, you can run so fucking good! Xiao Ming, you can run with these two legs, faster than me!"

Serious Crimes Interrogation Room.

Zhan Huanxiong's sitting posture is different from most of the suspects who have been sitting here before - his neck is pressed down and his shoulders are raised high, like a hunting beast.

"Zhan Huanxiong." Mingshu called his name, "Why did you come to Dongye City?"

Hearing his real name in Dongye City for the first time, Zhan Huanxiong's eyes changed suddenly, showing a murderous look. The temperament that belonged to the night market security guard disappeared, replaced by the ferocity of a butcher.

I've seen this kind of look.

Zhan Huanxiong is a person who has been on the real battlefield, killing people with guns and knives. The fierceness that comes from his blood is completely different from the bullies and local snakes in the city.

After being stared at for a few times, the recorder instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ming Shu was not affected by this aura at all, and repeated: "Why did you come to Dongye City?"

Probably because he has never seen such a majestic policeman, or because he still has lingering fears about being pointed at by a pistol not long ago, Zhan Huanxiong asked in that weird accent: "Why did you arrest me?"

"Good question." Mingshu sneered, "I have more than one reason to arrest you."

Zhan Huanxiong's scar twitched.

"You are not from our country. Shetu Town treats you preferentially and gives you the right to temporarily live in Maoyi Village. But when you register, you should be clear that your scope of activities is limited to Liuqi City." Mingshu said: "Not Including Dongye City."

Zhan Huanxiong scratched his nails on the table, "Are you going to send me back?"

"Do you want to go back?" Mingshu asked back.

Zhan Huanxiong looked puzzled, and shook his head after a few seconds, "It's very good here."

This answer was somewhat beyond Mingshu's expectation.

In fact, Zhan Huanxiong felt strange working as a security guard in "Black Leaves Have Thorns".

Zhan Huanxiong's purpose in coming to Dongye City was to avenge Luo Xiangfu, shouldn't he leave immediately after revenge?Why do you still have to stay as a security guard?

Is it following the principle that "the most dangerous place is the safest place"?

Mingshu thought for a moment, and no longer planned to go around in circles with Zhan Huanxiong, directly put Luo Xiangfu's photo on the table, stared at Zhan Huanxiong and said: "You know you can't leave Liuqi City, but you still come to Dongye City. Your goal is he."

When he saw the person in the photo clearly, Zhan Huanxiong's shoulders and chest visibly stiffened.

"Am I sure?" Mingshu tapped the photo with his index finger, "Your country allows multiple concubines, and Shetu Town respects your customs, but the girl you are about to marry is influenced by Luo Xiangfu's photo and refuses to marry you." Get married. He is ashamed and angry, and wants to use your country's barbaric method to avenge Luo Xiangfu."

Veins burst out of Zhan Huanxiong's arms, and an angry growl came out of his throat.

"On July 7, Luo Xiangfu was killed. You happened to ask for leave on the grounds that you were unwell." Mingshu glanced away, "But I think you are in good health. You are asking for leave to do other things, right?"

Zhan Huanxiong yelled: "I didn't kill Luo Xiangfu!"

Mingshu narrowed his eyes, "You don't seem to be surprised that Luo Xiangfu was killed."

Zhan Huanxiong opened his eyes wide and was speechless.

"Why do you know that he has been killed?" Mingshu's tone gave people a strong sense of oppression, "Or, Luo Xiangfu was killed by you?"

"It's not me!" Zhan Huanxiong panted heavily, as if he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't find the right words.

Half a minute later, he uttered a series of Shetu Town dialect, which was so emotional that no one in the interrogation room could understand it.

And Mingshu had expected this situation a long time ago, and brought Wen Li with him when he left Shetu Town.

Wen Li was invited into the interrogation room. When Zhan Huanxiong saw her, he sat quietly in his seat for about ten seconds, then patted the table and kept waving his handcuffed hands. His mouth was like a machine gun, and he was sweating as he talked.

"He's scolding me." Wen Li was very nervous, his voice trembling.

Mingshu comforted him: "With me here, you don't have to worry. Ask me clearly about Luo Xiangfu's whereabouts when he was killed, and why he went to work in 'Black Leaf with Thorns'."

Switching back and forth between the two languages, Wen Li's neck was already sweating.

Zhan Huanxiong admitted that he came to Dongye City from Shetu Town just to avenge Luo Xiangfu, but when he first arrived in Dongye City, he only knew that the other party's surname was Luo, and because he had seen him from a distance in Shetu Town, he vaguely remembered him I don't know anything about his face.So, he started to center on the street post office and wandered around all day long.

Compared with Liu Qicheng, the prosperity of Dongye City is beyond Zhan Huanxiong's perception.In the process of searching for Luo Xiangfu, he became more and more reluctant to return to Shetu Town.Shetu Town is too poor, and the women in Shetu Town are too dark and ugly. Even if you rule Shetu Town, your family is just a mud house. Living in Dongye City, even if you just work as a security guard in a bar, you can still turn on the air conditioner every day.

Before finding Luo Xiangfu, Zhan Huanxiong found a job as a security guard at the "Black Leaf with Thorns" bar.Although he is a countryman, his Mandarin is very weird, and his height is not up to standard, but he is flexible and good at skills.The captain of the security team, Brother Wang, left him behind. On his first day at work, he taught a lesson to the ruffians who came to make trouble.

The bar has a staff dormitory, and Zhan Huanxiong first lived there, but he had little sleep time, watched the scene at night, and spent most of the day looking for Luo Xiangfu on the street.

Looking for someone in Dongye City, relying on this reckless method is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. Zhan Huanxiong later asked Brother Wang, and Brother Wang immediately said - this is not easy?You go to the commercial center to squat, the person you mentioned should be a street shooter, they love to go to that kind of place.Also, isn't our place near the popular science playground?You can also look there, you should be able to find it.

In late June, Zhan Huanxiong actually found Luo Xiangfu at the popular science playground.

It was very easy for him to kill Luo Xiangfu, but the time he worked in the bar had made him understand that Dongye City was full of cameras that Shetu Town didn't have, and the criminal police were a hundred times more fierce than the policemen in Shetu Town .

He once went to Xicheng Sub-bureau and Dongye City Bureau to have a look, and the majestic buildings made him daunting.

How to kill Luo Xiangfu without being discovered?

He thinks about it every day.

Either do it completely without anyone noticing, or leave quickly after revealing some flaws. Anyway, as long as you return to Shetu Town, you will be the king of the mountain.

He was not sure about the former situation, and the latter situation was planned before he came, but after enjoying the prosperity of Dongye City, he no longer wanted to leave here.

Hesitating left and right, the revenge plan has not been implemented.

Zhan Huanxiong didn't dare to make a move easily, but he couldn't let go of Luo Xiangfu. Later, he simply rented the cheapest house in the old housing area near Luo's house, and quietly familiarized himself with the surrounding surveillance.

Before Luo Xiangfu was killed, he had discovered which public cameras were decorations, where most of the cameras had dead ends, and also discovered that Luo Xiangfu always walked alone.

This kind of "lonely old man" is the easiest to solve.

But what Zhan Huanxiong didn't expect was that Luo Xiangfu was not the only enemy.

On July 7, Zhan Huanxiong had a stomach ailment and asked for leave from his manager after suffering from diarrhea several times.But by the time it was time to go to work, his condition had eased.

Asking for leave was through the manager, but he knew that it was Xianzai who was changing shifts with him, so he contacted Xianzai and planned to change shifts back.

Xianzi is very unwilling, "Brother Xiong, you can't do this, I have put off today's affairs, if you want to change it back, you are not enough brothers."

Zhan Huanxiong didn't know much about the ways of life in the city, seeing that Xianzi didn't want to change back, he thought it was no big deal whether he changed or not, so he hung up the phone.

It was getting dark at this time, and he lay down in the simple rental house for a while, remembering that Brother Wang said that street photography lovers like to take pictures of beautiful women in the evening and night, so he quickly got up and planned to follow Luo Xiangfu.

He knew which household Luo Xiangfu lived in, and when he looked around the neighborhood, the lights in Luo's house were not turned on.

Luo Xiangfu was not at home, so he must have gone somewhere to take pictures.

It's not that he has no brains at all. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Luo Xiangfu, an old man, should not go too far to take pictures at night. If he didn't consider the northern and southern districts, there would be a high probability that he would gather in a few streets in the western district. land.

After delineating the area, Zhan Huanxiong set off, but he couldn't catch Luo Xiangfu until about 10 o'clock at night.

The buses in Dongye City close at 11 o’clock—except for the special line for the night shift. Zhan Huanxiong thought that only the popular science playground hadn’t been there yet, and felt that it was so late. Even if Luo Xiangfu went there, he should have left by now.

Whether to go or go back, Zhan Huanxiong hesitated for a moment, and finally went in the direction of the popular science playground.

But it's not entirely because he wants to find Luo Xiangfu, but because he really has nothing to do.

The security guards said in the chat that because there is no surveillance in the popular science playground, there are occasional people "wild fighting" there.

Zhan Huanxiong not only wants to see it, but also wants to play it himself.

After coming to Dongye City for so long, he couldn't bear it any longer.

But when he arrived at the popular science playground, he saw Luo Xiangfu.

To his surprise, Luo Xiangfu was looking around without a SLR.

At that time, there were no one to be seen in the playground, and Zhan Huanxiong became suspicious, so he immediately climbed up a tree and covered himself with dense branches and leaves.

This kind of thing is not easy for ordinary people, but he has been a scout, and climbing trees is a necessary skill.

Luo Xiangfu had a weird expression, as if he was waiting for someone.

Before long, a man in a raincoat and hat appeared. TA strangled Luo Xiangfu's neck from behind, and directly covered Luo Xiangfu's mouth and nose with his right hand.

Soon, Luo Xiangfu fell down.

The raincoat man lifted Luo Xiangfu's clothes, took pictures of Luo Xiangfu's body, and then beat Luo Xiangfu's neck with a long and thin stick.

Zhan Huanxiong witnesses a murder and subsequent hiding of the body in a tree.

"You're lying!" Fang Yuanhang stood up angrily, "If the facts are as you said, why didn't you call the police? You made up a story full of loopholes, and the man in the raincoat was none other than you!"
