Madness of the Heart

Chen Mi did not recognize Chen Quanhan as his father because of what happened when he was young, and he was unwilling to cooperate with the police investigation. Fang Yuanhang and others once thought that Chen Mi was a serious suspect.

"It can't be Chen Mi." Mingshu said: "Assuming Chen Mi killed Chen Quanhan, how should Luo Xiangfu's death be explained? Luo Xiangfu and Chen Mi have no intersection at all. Could it be that Chen Mi killed his father first, and then killed the one with his father?" Strangers with the same hobbies? Does this make sense? The details of the two cases are very similar, and they show a progressive continuity. Chen Quanhan’s body was only recently discovered. There is no imitation of the crime, and the murderer can only be the same person .”

"Chen Mi was seriously injured by Chen Quanhan when she was a child, but now she has a very happy family." Yi Fei just returned to the crime squad from outside, holding the information of Chen Mi's family in his hand, "Chen Mi now has two children, One son and one daughter, the eldest is 8 years old and the youngest is 6 years old. The restaurant business is booming. She has come out of the pain of the past. If Chen Quanhan is killed, she will destroy the happiness of her entire small family. Chen Quanhan's The time of death was in mid-April, and Chen Mi's family went abroad for vacation on April 4 and did not come back until April 4. Even if she had a motive for committing the crime, she had no possibility of committing the crime. This case still has to go back to our previous thinking—the murderer is Murder because of street shooting."

Mingshu nodded, "That's right."

Fang Yuanhang thought of the shocking old scars on Chen Mi's back, "Chen Mi is the person most qualified to hate Chen Quanhan, what Chen Quanhan did to her has constituted intentional harm. But Chen Mi chose to let go, neither revenge nor sue. All the laws are just a clean break with Chen Quanhan. Did Chen Quanhan inflict more harm on the murderer than he inflicted on Chen Mi?"

"You can't make a horizontal comparison like this. Everyone is a different individual." Speaking of this, Mingshu suddenly thought of Chen Mi's husband.

When Chen Mi was being questioned, the man in his 30s had been waiting in the corridor.As soon as Chen Mi came out, he rushed up, put his arms around Chen Mi's shoulders, and comforted in a low voice.

Sometimes it is not necessarily how deep the damage is that determines the extent to which a grudge develops, but whether the damage can be healed.

Obviously, although the wound on Chen Mi's body has not healed, even in this lifetime, the wound in her heart has been healed by her husband.

That's why she was able to frankly show the scars on her back.

Then choose not to forgive Chen Quanhan, forget Chen Quanhan.

The killer is nothing like her.

Perhaps Chen Quanhan and Luo Xiangfu hadn't really hurt the murderer, they had never even had in-depth contact, but for some reason—maybe the delusion of being persecuted, or something else—the murderer had to kill him quickly.

Mingshu stays alone on the terrace, profile the murderer.

She has very serious psychological problems and has not been resolved for a long time.

She has no close friends and family around her, and she can only bear herself if anything happens.

She is very stressed.

Over time, she became more and more distorted.

She is not good at dissecting people's hearts.

autistic?

Not too possible.

So what caused her psychological problems?

Mingshu frowned repeatedly, remembering the possibility that he had analyzed with Xiao Yuan not long ago - she lived in the city for a long time, had a decent job, and needed to contact many people...

Is work giving her too much pressure?

"Ming team!" Xu Chun shouted from outside the terrace: "We found a lot of letters at Chen Quanhan's house, do you want to read them?"

There were a total of 79 letters, none of which were sent, not even stamped.

In the letter, Chen Quanhan repented to Chen Mi, listing all the incidents of mistreating Chen Mi in the past, and at the end of each letter was written "Xiaomi, Dad is sorry for you".

Looking at the signing time, the first letter was written four years ago, and the last letter was written on April 4 this year.He hoped that Chen Mi could bring his family back to see him, and said that all his old house and savings would be left to Chen Mi and his grandson and granddaughter.

"Chen Quanhan didn't send the letter because he didn't have the courage to face Chen Mi." Mingshu glanced roughly, "He knew very well that Chen Mi would never forgive him."

Fang Yuanhang thought of his father, and was a little moved, "Master, let me take the letter to Chen Mi."

"No rush." ​​Mingshu said, "Chen Mi put it away for a while, and then bring the letter to her when the case is solved."

The case of Luo Xiangfu and the case of Chen Quanhan were jointly investigated. The serious crime team held a case analysis meeting in the largest office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Xiao Yuan was not notified before the meeting. Halfway through the meeting, the back door was gently pushed open, and no one went to the door. Look, I don't know that the immediate boss is here, even Mingshu didn't notice.

Xiao Yu quietly walked to the corner, moved the chair and sat down, Fang Yuanhang who was on the side heard the movement, turned around and said, "Xiao..."

At that time Mingshu was speaking, Xiao Yuan raised his index finger towards Fang Yuanhang, and pressed his lips weakly, signaling the other party to keep silent.

Fang Yuanhang understood and sat down quickly.

But the big leader was by his side, and the young criminal policeman was inevitably distracted, wandering back and forth from the corner of his eye, and it didn't take long to find that Ming Shu, who hadn't looked at him all this time, began to look at him frequently.

He sneaked a glance at Xiao Yu'an, thinking that the master must have discovered that Xiao Ju was coming.

Just when Xiao Yu'an made a silent gesture to Fang Yuanhang, Ming Shu noticed the movement in the corner.

This meeting was relatively complicated. Evidence was listed and analyzed. Everyone tried to collide with a new idea, but no one could guarantee that a new idea would be generated.

Case analysis meetings are often like this. A group of people are locked in a conference room and discuss continuously. Some smoke and some chew candy, making it smoky, like a practice scene.

So he didn't want Xiao Yu'an to come, firstly, Xiao Yu'an didn't like the smell of smoke, and secondly, if he couldn't find a breakthrough, calling Xiao Yu'an to come would also waste Xiao Yu'an's time.

Xiao Yu'an said it himself - I'm not just in charge of your serious crimes team.

At this time, several people in the meeting room had already started smoking, Mingshu suddenly stopped, went to the window, pushed the open window to the maximum, and said to the team members who were puffing: "Put out the smoke. "

Xiao Man said, "Huh?"

"Ah what." Mingshu said: "For the sake of your health, you will smoke less in meetings from now on. I really can't help but go to the balcony to finish smoking before coming back."

A group of people in the serious crime team are very convinced by Mingshu. If this is said by any other team leader of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, some people may just leave with a cigarette in their mouth, but Mingshu said it, and everyone agrees. Put out the cigarette and continue the meeting.

"The last call recorded on Chen Quanhan's mobile phone number was at 4:12 p.m. on April 8. The person who called him was a delivery man." Zhou Man said: "He ordered a piece of sauerkraut noodles. In addition, he We have verified all the communications in the three months before the murder, all of which are takeaways, express delivery, system reminders, and harassing calls. We have also checked his Internet records. He is different from Luo Xiangfu. Luo Xiangfu is just a hobby of street photography. He hardly shared photos on the Internet, but he sold photos to a photo website called 'Jiemei', earning about 13 yuan a month."

"Chen Quanhan is a retired worker in a pharmaceutical factory, with a fixed retirement salary of 3400 yuan, plus the income from taking pictures, he can move out of Pu'ouxin Road and live in a place with better conditions." Xiao Man shook his head, "Pu'ouxin Road They are almost dismantled, and there is not a single camera, which simply increases the difficulty of our investigation."

Pu'ouxin Road is the area to be demolished outside the South Gate of the Popular Science Playground. There have been rumors that it will be demolished a few years ago, but it has been lingering with the Popular Science Playground. Now only a small number of people still live in it.

It was much less difficult for the murderer to lure Chen Quanhan to the popular science playground to kill than to kill Luo Xiangfu later.

"I don't understand one thing." Yi Fei said: "According to what Zhan Huanxiong said, Luo Xiangfu went to the playground to wait for the murderer by himself, so Chen Quanhan should be the same. But how did the murderer do it?"

"The murderer has had close contact with them." Mingshu said: "And he knows where to meet them, and will not be caught by the camera. The murderer is a person who is very familiar with Xicheng District, especially the surrounding areas of the popular science playground."

"This is too general." Yi Fei looked serious, "Close contact is nothing more than verbal deception, but what did the murderer tell them, so that they would go to the popular science playground to wait late at night after drinking?"

A team member said: "A very attractive woman?"

Mingshu immediately thought of another type of person he and Xiao Yuan saw in Huayun Square.

The two cases are now very clear. The murderer killed people because of street photography, but there are two specific motives. One is the earliest thinking. The murderer hates street photography and may have been harassed by middle-aged and elderly street photography enthusiasts; People who are not favored by street photographers, after being neglected for a long time, kill because of twisted and dark psychology.

If the former, then the killer is likely to be charismatic, at least outwardly.if the latter one……

Mingshu lowered his head, for a moment he couldn't think of how to seduce this kind of person who is not attractive in the eyes of street photographers.

After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan in the corner.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan cleared his throat, "Let's start the investigation from the 'intersection area' first."

Everyone followed the prestige, and they were a little surprised.

"Xiao Bureau—"

"When did you come?"

"Ju Xiao has been here for a while." Ming Shu signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Apart from a few street photography spots in Xicheng District, the most frequent place Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan go to is the Huayun Center, which is considered the most important 'intersection area' .”

Xiao Yu'an said: "The murderer may also often be active in the Huayun Center."

"The Huayun Center is poisonous." Xiao Man suddenly said, "The murder case in the cafe is there. If Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan were also targeted by the murderer there, it would be absolutely impossible."

Zhou Yuan said, "We can adjust Huayun's monitoring."

"The murderer is familiar with Xicheng District and Huayun Center, and may live in Xicheng District and work near Huayun." Xiao Yuan said: "Before we were influenced by the two cases of Lu Kun and Li Hongmei, we believed that the murderer's starting point was 'justice'. '. Not necessarily."

"Yes." Ming Shu took Xiao Yu'an's words and said another possibility, that is, venting the anger of the unfavored.

Most of the members of the serious crime team have seen all kinds of strange and even unbelievable cases, so they digested them quickly.

Everyone was thinking about clues, only Fang Yuanhang was distracted, always feeling that there was a tacit understanding between Xiao Ju and his master.

Having a tacit understanding is equal to having a secret.

Xiao Yu'an said again: "I don't know if you have noticed, but the Luo Xiangfu case happened not long after the cafe murder case."

Mingshu thought for a while, "Maybe it's a coincidence?"

"Then what if it's not a coincidence?" Xiao Yu'an said, "Could it be possible that the murderer was inspired or stimulated by the murder in the cafe, and put a cloak of 'justice' on his actions."

Mingshu said softly: "...Who is most likely to be inspired?"

Witnesses, people who were in Shuhan Cafe at that time?

If this is the case, this is in line with the inference that "the murderer is often active in the Huayun Center".

"The murderer has conflicting emotions. He wants to hide himself well so that he can continue to commit crimes, but also deliberately gives us clues." Xiao Yuan said: "She knows that the police are investigating the two cases of Luo and Chen. In a short time, the most likely way she will do is Watching our movements while tracking her new target without daring to do it again. This is our opportunity."

Repeated touches gradually connect the clues together.

Among the middle-aged and elderly men in the city who are keen on street photography, there are 75 people whose family conditions are similar to those of Luo and Chen. Among these 75 people, 6 people have been active in Xicheng District and Huayun Center for a long time, including those who have taken photos of Chen Quanhan. Hui Chengxian.

They may well have entered the murderer's sight.

It is worth noting that Hui Chengxian did not have the offensive habits of Luo and Chen when he was doing street photography.

Mingshu personally visited Pu'ouxin Road from house to house, and got an important piece of information from a shoe repairer at the street corner—a tall woman in a long skirt once appeared downstairs in Chen Quanhan's house.

"I can't remember her appearance," said the cobbler. "I just remember her yellow dress and the smell of perfume on her body. Oh, the women who live here are not as well-dressed as her. I'm very impressed. But I'm also surprised."

Mingshu asked, "What's so strange?"

"Well... I can't say." The shoe repairer hesitated for a long time, "I just think, why does she come to a place like ours dressed so beautifully?"

Ming Shu had a faint conclusion in his heart——

Because she wanted to seduce Chen Quanhan, so that Chen Quanhan would willingly go to the popular science playground to die!

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, Ming Shu rushed back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau under the scorching sun, hurried to Xiao Yu'an's office, forgot to knock on the door, and pushed in.

"Xiao..."

Two eyes turned to him at the same time, and he realized that Director Li was there.

Fortunately, I didn't directly call "Brother" just now.

Ming Shu adjusted his stance and tone, and said with a smile, "Ju Li, are you here to find Ju Xiao?"

Li Ju joked, "Ming team, why are you getting more and more unruly, pushing the door without saying hello? Usually you come to find Xiao Ju, is that the same?"

"No, no, I usually knock on the door." Ming Shu said, "It's so hot outside today that I almost suffer from heat stroke, so I'm in a hurry to come to Bureau Xiao to use the air conditioner."

His police uniform was wet a lot, his face and neck were covered with sweat, but he was quite convincing.

Li Ju said: "The air conditioner can be rubbed, but the door must be knocked hard. This is discipline."

Ming Shu retreated immediately, closed the door, knocked twice, and said loudly: "Xiao Ju, I am Ming Shu."

Xiao Yu'an's tone was as usual: "Come in."

Mingshu can be a ruffian and a trendy person, but when he gets serious, he immediately becomes upright, like that. When he stops at the gate of the City Bureau, there is an advertisement for a contemporary elite criminal police.

Director Li got up, "You guys want to talk about the case, I'll go first. You have made meritorious service in the matter of the tomb, and the higher-ups should commend you, and try to work hard to solve the case of Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan as soon as possible."

Mingshu stood up straight, "Yes!"

Director Li sighed, as if he wanted to say something else, he finally shook his head and left Xiao Yu'an's office.

After the door was closed, Ming Shu immediately unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, ran to the air conditioner to blow the air, and asked, "Brother, what is Bureau Li looking for you for? It's not just about the tomb, is it?"

The higher authorities have set up a task force.The police in Dongye City contributed the most to being able to find out the heart of the tomb, but Mingshu didn't think that Director Li came to Xiao Yu'an at this time, just to chat about the heart of the tomb.

There must be something else.

"Don't stand there." Xiao Yu'an said, "Be careful that you blow your face into paralysis."

Mingshu pressed down the blades of the air conditioner, turned around and grabbed the hem of the shirt, letting the cold wind blow on his back, "I'm so hot. Don't blow my face, so it's okay for the head office?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu'an picked up the remote control on the table and directly turned off the air conditioner.

Mingshu: "..."

Dry!

"Come here." Xiao Yu'an pointed to the chair beside him, "If you don't blow against it, I'll start it again."

"It's too much, Boss Xiao." Ming Shu was greedy for the coolness, but Xiao Yuan had the remote control in his hands, so he had to say "goodbye" to the air conditioner, walked to the table and sat down.

Xiao Yuan turned on the air conditioner again.

Ming Shu grabbed a folder and fanned himself, "You haven't said what Director Li is here for."

Xiao Yu'an said, "We chatted with Liang Chao for a while."

"Liang Zhao?" Mingshu was both surprised and reasonable, "Is Director Li trying to win something for Liang Zhao?"

Before Xiao Yu'an came to Dongye City, Liang Zhao was the most capable officer of Li Bureau, and many things were left to Liang Zhao by Li Bureau.Everyone in the Criminal Investigation Bureau knows that Liang Zhao was trained by Bureau Li and has a bright future.

More than a month ago, Liang Zhao was still in the limelight. Although he was always called Liang Dui, not Liang Ju, he was actually the second in command of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Xiao Yuan's arrival changed everything.

The most important serious crime team of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the first and second teams of the criminal investigation team, were handed over to Xiao Yu'an. With the support of Xiao Yu'an, the serious crime team dug up the accumulated cases in Xiaben Village one after another and solved the extremely influential tomb heart case. It's not hard to imagine how you feel.

Director Li is aware of Liang Zhao's strengths and weaknesses, and it is precisely because he knows Liang Zhao's embarrassing task that Xiao Yu'an's airborne.

But Xiao Yu'an's sharpness was too strong, and Liang Zhao became more and more dim. Perhaps in Li Ju's eyes, this was not conducive to maintaining balance.

Xiao Yu'an said: "It's just a balance, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Of course Mingshu believed in Xiao Yuan's sense of propriety, and after taking a breath, he began to report the progress of the case.

Xiao Yu'an listened carefully, "Thanks for your hard work."

Mingshu suddenly noticed that Xiao Yuan's computer screen was frozen on a video screen, which should be what Xiao Yuan was watching when Director Li came.

He tilted his body, almost leaning on Xiao Yuan's body, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Yu'an supported him, and turned the computer screen lightly, "Video of Lu Kun committing the crime."

Ming Shu didn't stick to Xiao Yu'an's arms, but stood up vigilantly, "What did you find?"

Xiao Yuan clicked "Play" and said, "When you subdued Lu Kun, did you feel that something was wrong with the lady who rushed to protect the child?"
