Madness of the Heart

"Yu Caixin?" Mingshu was surprised, "What happened to her?"

"I'm more curious about her reaction." Xiao Yu'an said.

Mingshu still remembers the situation at that time - Lu Kun went berserk and murdered, a child was killed, Shuhan Cafe was in chaos, customers and staff collapsed, security guards were late, parents protected their children to avoid, Several children whose parents were not present were in deep danger. If Yu Caixin hadn't rushed up regardless of his own safety and bought the most critical time, there might be more than two children who would have been hurt when he arrived.

"Yu Caixin is very brave." Mingshu recalled, and said, "She was still wearing a professional skirt and high heels at the time, and it was not convenient to move around. There were many men in the bookstore, but they all ran away when something happened. Her seat was close to the shop. The gate of the district is farther away from Lu Kun, and it is easier to avoid it, but it is amazing that she catches up against the flow of people. But..."

Xiao Yu'an waited for a few seconds and asked, "But what?"

After staying in the air-conditioned room for a while, Mingshu's hot feeling has subsided.

He held his forehead and said calmly, "I'll think about it again."

Xiao Yuan poured a cup of herbal tea and gave him time to think.

"However, the risk of her acting bravely is actually very high. She has no weapon, while Lu Kun has a knife in his hand. After the murder, Lu Kun has lost his mind. Restricted by gender and attire, she is likely to be injured when confronting Lu Kun "Mingshu frowned slightly, "The police couldn't arrive in the shortest time, and I happened to be there. If I wasn't there, and there was no criminal police and special police like me on the scene, she would put herself in danger completely. .”

"That's right." Xiao Yu'an nodded, "I noticed her because she was different from all bystanders, only she dared to face Lu Kun."

"Doesn't this just show that she is brave and kind?" Mingshu said.

"This is a normal, positive evaluation—most people will think so when they see her act bravely and recklessly." Xiao Yu'an folded his fingers together, "But sometimes, we have to look at it from the opposite side, from a darker way. Look at a thing and a person from a different angle.”

"Negative?" Ming Shu frowned even tighter, and walked around the desk several times, "You doubt Yu Caixin's motives for saving people."

"No." Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with her motives. There are people who hate children like Lu Kun, and there are people who don't want children to be hurt in the slightest. Yu Caixin is a woman, and many women are born with a desire to protect children. What I am more concerned about is, where does Yu Caixin's courage to face Lu Kun come from? Compared with Lu Kun, she has no advantage at all. Even if she wanted to go up to protect the child at that time, all the people around her chose to run for their lives. Under such circumstances, why did she dare to rush to confront Lu Kun? Did she have any special experience in the past—such as being a soldier? Mastering some fighting skills?"

Human behavior is affected by many factors, subjective and objective, and sometimes the parties themselves cannot explain it.

Mingshu's attention was slightly distracted, and he compared the profile of the murderer and the description of the shoemaker he had made with Yu Caixin, and was suddenly shocked.

Yu Caixin almost fits the profile, and almost fits the description of a shoe repairer!

Xiao Yu'an said at this time, "I have watched this video three times. The first time I found it strange, but the second time I found Yu Caixin was 'too' brave. We advocate that adults act bravely in righteousness, but courageous acts should be done according to one's ability. Compared with other people, her behavior is very abrupt. I have been thinking, apart from innate kindness, what else can make an ordinary person so brave and fearless? When I watched it for the third time, I thought of it."

Mingshu asked: "What?"

"Death." Xiao Yu'an said, "Death can also make a person extremely brave, not afraid of murderers. Especially those who have led death before."

Ming Shu turned around abruptly, "Yu Caixin led death?"

"I have seen many vicious murderers, and most of them have one thing in common." Xiao Yuan said slowly: "There is an irrational confidence in their eyes, and this confidence can sometimes make them look extremely Aggressive. I watched this video repeatedly and found that Yu Caixin also had this kind of confidence in his eyes."

Mingshu walked to the screen, dragged the progress bar with the mouse, and frowned.

He had to admit that Xiao Yu'an's interpretation provided logical explanations for some irrational appearances, but he actually didn't want to believe that the only woman who stood up to protect the child had murder in her hands.

"The vast majority of murderers have impulsive personalities, the most typical being crimes of passion. And even a murderer with a very careful mind is also affected by impulsiveness. The murderer in the Luo and Chen cases was extremely psychologically abnormal. Her impulsiveness was Hidden, she may be very good at hiding herself, but her impulse has always existed." Xiao Yuan said: "Back to the Lu Kun case, in that case, even the staff members escaped, and only you and Yu Caixin chose to face Lu Kun directly." Kun."

"I'm a policeman." Mingshu said.

"Yes, you are a policeman. You have the responsibility and the ability to rush forward. You are very rational and objective in your perception of yourself." Xiao Yu'an said again: "But what about Yu Caixin? There are impulsive factors in her behavior, and we just now The points that have been analyzed—child-loving, overly brave. I couldn't help noticing her."

Ming Shu drank all the herbal tea, and when he put down the teacup, his hand lost weight, and the bottom of the cup hit the table with a crisp sound.

"Fuck!" He picked it up and took a look, but luckily it wasn't broken.

"Let's make a hypothesis." Xiao Yu'an said: "Yu Caixin is the person we are looking for. When she rushed towards Lu Kun impulsively, how did she evaluate Lu Kun in her heart?"

"She will look down on Lu Kun very much." Mingshu said: "An adult man who can only vent his anger and unwillingness on children is definitely a symbol of cowardice, shame, and incompetence in her eyes, and there is nothing to fear. So..."

"That's why she dared to face Lu Kun." Xiao Yuan turned her gaze back to the monitor again, "Her behavior is reasonable for her."

Mingshu sat down, tapped his fingers on the table frequently, and spoke again after about half a minute, "Brother, do you know Yu Caixin's occupation?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "She is a partner of a headhunting company."

"Yes!" When Mingshu's voice was tense, it sounded very textured, "Her profession requires her to have conversation skills far beyond ordinary people."

Xiao Yu'an said: "In other words, her ability to 'fudge' is very strong. To a certain extent, she can make people believe her and do what she says."

Mingshu whispered to himself: "So Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan will listen to her and go to the popular science playground..."

Xiao Yuan patted the back of Mingshu's hand lightly, "I said in the last meeting that Luo Xiangfu was murdered very close to the murder in the cafe. The murderer must have observed Luo Xiangfu for a long time, knew that Kang Yu left home, knew that Time is the best time to attack Luo Xiangfu. But this does not rule out the possibility that she was inspired and stimulated by Lu Kun. In this way, don’t you think that Yu Caixin is the one who has the most contact with Lu Kun? Another point is that Yu Caixin is in the Beicheng branch He has participated in the investigation, and his understanding of the details of the case is second only to our police."

Mingshu pressed his temple, "Brother, I remembered something."

Xiao Yu'an: "Huh?"

"I had a few words with Yu Caixin when I was at the Beicheng branch. She looked very depressed at the time. I thought it was a normal reaction after a high level of tension - to stand up when the danger was in danger. Afterwards, when the emotions passed, I felt scared." Mingshu said: "But now there may be a new explanation-she realized that she should not go to stop Lu Kun. What she was afraid of was not that she might be injured, but that she had to deal with the police."

After a moment of silence in the office, Xiao Yu'an said, "Yu Caixin has undergone plastic surgery."

"Plastic surgery?" Mingshu recalled that dignified and beautiful face, "You are already checking her?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Not really. But if you look closely at her nose bridge, chin, and eyes, the traces of plastic surgery are actually very obvious."

Mingshu asked: "What does this mean?"

"Your question is too broad." Xiao Yuan said, "For the time being, I can only tell you what I associate with it—she is not satisfied with her original appearance."

"It's strange." Mingshu said, "I had a short conversation with Yu Caixin, and she gave me the impression that she is a very confident woman. The influence of appearance on people, the gap between men and women is relatively large, and the impact of appearance on women's psychology is far greater than that of women. Male. If Yu Caixin was dissatisfied with his appearance, he would not be as confident as he is now."

After a few seconds, Mingshu added: "However, it is not ruled out that she is pretending, or for other reasons."

"Hmm." Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, "It is worth looking into the fact that she is dissatisfied with her appearance. Why is she dissatisfied with her original appearance? First, she does not need to be reminded by others, and she takes the initiative to think that she is not good-looking. Formed, deeply ingrained in the heart, most people who think this way are indeed not good-looking, Li Hongmei is an example; second, someone reminded her that you are not good-looking. From a psychological point of view, people’s perception of their own appearance Knowing more comes from external feedback.”

"So you think that someone made Yu Caixin feel that she is not good-looking enough?" Mingshu suddenly remembered that in the Huayun Center, there were more than one person who repeatedly shuttled between "long guns and short guns", but in the end they failed to become street photography enthusiasts. The scenery in the lens.

"Go and check on Yu Caixin." Xiao Yu'an's tone didn't sound like a discussion, but more like assigning a task, "Check her scope of activities and background, focusing on the last two years, and when she had plastic surgery. I estimate the time of her plastic surgery It should not be long, otherwise the facial features will be more natural. This place must be explored - she is a partner of a headhunting company, and her speech and demeanor are not lacking in confidence, and most of her confidence comes from her ability and appearance, which shows that she has been , she is satisfied with her appearance. If so, why is she suddenly dissatisfied? Was it affected by something?"

Mingshu suddenly said: "Brother, why do you have such a research on women?"

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "It's not that I have researched on women, it's because of serious cases, I have to think about every possibility."

Mingshu is of course unwilling to regard Yu Caixin as a suspect subjectively.

In reality, "knowing what can't be done and doing it" is a kind of romantic justice, and he doesn't have the heart to destroy it.

Could it be that the one who bravely saved the child was really the murderer of the other two murders?

But Xiao Yu'an's analysis was reasonable, compared with the romance, it was frightening.

Once the serious crime team took action, the efficiency was very high. Within half a day, Mingshu had grasped the information on Yu Caixin.

"Yu Caixin, 32 years old, from Yizi City, came to Dongye City eight years ago and worked as a consultant for Feichi Headhunting Company at first. Four years ago, he became independent and founded Xinxiang Headhunting Company with his partner Cao Xiang. The office of this company The location is in the office building across the street from Huayun Center." Yi Fei put several photos on the table, "Xiao Ju is right, Yu Caixin did have plastic surgery, and it didn't take long, the first The second time was in March last year, and the nose was done, and the most recent time was in March this year, when I got a Korean-style eyebrow tattoo."

All the photos were taken before Yu Caixin's plastic surgery. Mingshu looked at it for a while and said, "She was not ugly before plastic surgery. I don't think there is much difference between before and after."

Fang Yuanhang leaned over, "Damn it, I thought plastic surgery was the kind that my mother wouldn't even recognize!"

Mingshu pushes the apprentice away.

"I don't think it's ugly either." Yi Fei looked at the photos over and over again, and concluded: "It's not ugly!"

"Why would she have plastic surgery if she's not ugly?" Fang Yuanhang said he couldn't understand, "And she's an executive, and she has a sudden plastic surgery, even if it's just a minor plastic surgery, the people around must still be able to see it? Her employees will definitely talk about her. It's not conducive to her work. If the master goes to the whole face one day, I will definitely laugh at him behind his back, hahaha!"

Mingshu sneered, "Me? Plastic surgery?"

Fang Yuanhang quickly ran behind Yi Fei, "Master, you don't need plastic surgery, you are already handsome! It's me, me!"

Mingshu picked up a box of chewing gum and threw it over.

Yi Fei laughed and said, "I've found that Yuan Hang has been particularly inquisitive lately."

Fang Yuanhang took the chewing gum, poured out two and threw it into his mouth.

Yi Fei said: "It's really strange that Yu Caixin suddenly frequents plastic surgery hospitals and beauty parlors. Yuanhang's analysis just now makes sense."

"Because her desire to become more beautiful has far outweighed her concerns about other difficulties." Mingshu said: "She has to fix it."

Yi Fei immediately grasped the point, "Why does she suddenly have such a strong desire."

Mingshu half-closed his eyes, and slowly said: "Then I have to ask her herself."

Xicheng District, Starlight Plastic Surgery Hospital.

Any plastic surgery hospital has an obligation to keep confidentiality to its clients, but when the police came to the door, the hospital had to cooperate with the investigation.

"Yu Caixin is our client. From last year to this year, she has undergone micro-surgery four times, and she often comes for beauty treatments. As far as I know, she is also a senior member of several other beauty salons." Vice President Wang Linxiang looked worried , "We just serve customers, and we don't know the personal life of customers."

Mingshu has a gentle attitude and does not put pressure on the other party, "We will learn about Yu Caixin's personal life through other channels. I am here today to hear your opinion on plastic surgery."

Wang Linxiang gradually relaxed, "Well, I know everything."

Mingshu took out a photo of Yu Caixin before plastic surgery, "Doctor Wang, from your point of view, does Yu Caixin need plastic surgery?"

"This..." Wang Linxiang thought for a while, "I think you may have a prejudice that only very ugly people need plastic surgery. In fact, if a woman is dissatisfied with a certain part of her face, even if she is not ugly , even if she is beautiful in the eyes of relatives and friends, she can make herself more beautiful through plastic surgery."

Mingshu added: "Then let me change the question. When Yu Caixin came here for the first time, how did she express her appeal?"

"She said she wanted to adjust her nose." Wang Linxiang paused, "By the way, she was not emotionally stable at the time, like..."

Seeing that Wang Linxiang was unable to speak out, Mingshu asked, "She is very nervous and urgently asks for plastic surgery?"

"Yes!" Wang Linxiang said, "Actually, women who decide to come to our place will have some mood swings. This is especially evident in her, as if she can't meet people without plastic surgery."

Can't see people without plastic surgery?

Mingshu pondered this sentence.

If it is an extremely ugly person, or a disfigured person, it is reasonable to have this kind of thinking.

Yu Caixin shouldn't think so.

Words and deeds are the reflection of psychology, and Yu Caixin already has serious psychological problems.

"Her mountain roots are not too high, but they are really not collapsed. After the adjustment, she asked me and my assistant many times - 'Is my nose looking good now', 'I'm not ugly now'. "Wang Linxiang said with a sigh, "Actually, to be honest, her facial features are pretty good, but there is nothing particularly amazing. How should I put it, you can't see anything wrong with her in daily life, and you even think she is an intellectual. Beauty. But in the camera, she looks mediocre and can't catch people's eyes."

Mingshu's eyes changed slightly, "Camera?"

"Yes." Wang Linxiang said: "Photos need texture. Before coming to us, Yu Caixin lacked this kind of texture. She also realized it herself. She found a lot of street photos for us to see, and asked for this kind of texture. Direction adjustment. She has been successful in plastic surgery for several times. Because it is all fine-tuning on details, it has little impact on daily life and work, but as long as she takes pictures, she feels completely different from before. It can be said that she made Let people see it."

Clues and guesses are gradually linked together.

Luo Xiangfu has been taking pictures on the street for two years. From the photos saved in Luo Xiangfu's computer, it can be seen that he only photographs women with bright looks, or women with relatively inferior appearance but with cute children.Yu Caixin will definitely not become his model before plastic surgery.

Chen Quanhan is even more so.

Yu Caixin had plastic surgery in the past year or so.

She has a successful career and is single. She didn't touch her face before the age of 30. After the age of 30, she suddenly had frequent plastic surgery. This is likely to be stimulated.

Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan once "rejected" Yu Caixin?

This kind of "rejection" caused Yu Caixin's confidence in herself to collapse?

Before that, Yu Caixin was already under too much pressure, and "rejection" was the fatal blow?

Mingshu drove to Xinxiang headhunting company, and Xiao Yuan found Hui Chengxian again with Yu Caixin's photos before plastic surgery.

"Old sir." Xiao Yu'an asked, "Do you have any impression of this lady?"

Hui Chengxian stared at the photo, nodded after a while, "Yes, I have seen her here."

This is Huayun Center.

"Have you ever asked her to be a model?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Hui Chengxian shook his head.

Xiao Yu'an said softly, "Is it because she's not very photogenic?"

Hui Chengxian said: "She is relatively ordinary."

Xiao Yu'an said, "But you have an impression of her."

"It's like this." Hui Chengxian sighed, "One time she walked back and forth in front of me several times, and it seemed that she really wanted me to take pictures of her."

Xiao Yuan said, "But you didn't take pictures."

"Yeah, I didn't take a picture, and I regretted it afterwards." Hui Chengxian smiled bitterly, "She should be the kind of person who needs to gain confidence from the affirmation of others. Taking a picture of her is just a matter of effort for me , I should take a picture of her."

"Let me ask you another question." Xiao Yuan said again: "You and Chen Quanhan have met many times in the Huayun Center, so have you seen this lady approaching Chen Quanhan?"

Hui Chengxian heard something strange, and gradually frowned, "You mean, she has something to do with Lao Chen's death?"

Xiao Yu'an didn't answer, but asked, "Have you seen it?"

"At that time..." Hui Chengxian's voice trembled slightly, "I was with Lao Chen at that time."

"When she walked in front of you, she was actually in front of Chen Quanhan's camera?"

"Yes……"

Xiao Yu'an observed Hui Chengxian, and suddenly said: "Mr., you seem to have something to say."

Hui Chengxian seemed to be hesitant, and it took a long time before he said: "Old Chen has passed away, and the deceased is the greatest."

"That's right, the dead are the greatest." Xiao Yu'an said: "Our traditional concept is to respect the dead, but you should understand that the way to respect Chen Quanhan the most is to bring those who killed him to justice."

After a long time, Hui Chengxian sighed, "My style of taking pictures is not the same as that of Lao Chen. He only takes pictures of girls who look very beautiful. I take pictures more casually. This girl... If Lao Chen is not there that day, I will I took a picture of her. At that time, I was actually ready to take a picture. Lao Chen pulled me and said that she was not good-looking and had no characteristics at all. Don’t take pictures. Lao Chen’s words are very ugly. If I don’t leave, he may speak even more. ugly."

Xiao Yu'an asked, "Did she hear everything?"

Hui Chengxian's eyes dimmed, "I heard it."
