Madness of the Heart

Chapter 39 Demon Hunting

When the police are peeling the cocoon, the eyes in the cocoon are always watching the police.

When Mingshu came to Xinxiang headhunting company, Yu Caixin had already left.

Cao Xiang, another partner of the company, was quite surprised by the arrival of the criminal police.In their line of work, they occasionally deal with the police, but never with the criminal police.

"You came here to find Caixin? She just left, and there is a temporary client who needs to be seen." Cao Xiang said vigilantly, "Did something happen to Caixin?"

"Which client?" Mingshu asked, "Where will we meet?"

In the headset, the technical investigation team members are reporting, "Yu Caixin is driving on Shuichuan West Road, and the destination may be her home in Aiqin Shui'an Community, Xicheng District."

Cao Xiang hurriedly called Xiao Yu, Yu Caixin's assistant, "Mr. Yu didn't say which client he was going to see?"

Xiao Yu hesitated, "Mr. Yu has made an appointment with Manager Hou of Xinzhou Real Estate..."

"Xinzhou Real Estate's headquarters is on Longchu Road, Nancheng District. Where did Yu Caixin go?" Ming Shu asked.

Xiao Yu nodded one after another and looked at Cao Xiang, "Mr. Yu took me there last week. The details haven't been finalized yet. Mr. Yu went here today to discuss the details."

Longchu Road, Nancheng District, and Aiqin Waterfront Community, Xicheng District, are in two completely different directions.

Yu Caixin didn't go to meet the candidate at all, but rushed home after learning that the police had gone to Xingguang Plastic Surgery Hospital to investigate her.

What does she have to deal with at home?

"Can I 'visit' Yu Caixin's office?" Mingshu asked.

Cao Xiang looked hesitant.

The criminal police came suddenly, there was no news before, and he had no time to prepare for many things.

Mingshu knew from his expression that this headhunting company probably had a lot of shady secrets.

But these secrets, the serious crime team does not need to intervene, just hand over the clues to the relevant units later.

"I'm not here to investigate your company today, you can rest assured about that." Mingshu didn't talk nonsense to Cao Xiang, "Where is Yu Caixin's office?"

Cao Xiang and Yu Caixin are nominally partners, but as early as the establishment of Xinxiang Headhunting Company, the two have been in constant conflict and have always been in a competitive relationship with each other. They have their own teams. They usually maintain superficial peace in the company. In fact, each has its own calculations.

Cao Xiang really didn't know why Yu Caixin called the police, and he didn't vaccinate himself in advance, and slipped away at a critical moment, feeling very dissatisfied, so he weighed it up and asked Xiao Yu to take the police to Yu Caixin's office.

"Ju Xiao, I'm at Yu Caixin's company." Ming Shu called Xiao Yu'an as he walked, "She should know that we're after her, and she said she was going to meet the candidates, but she was actually heading home. I suspect that she was returning home. The family handles the key evidence."

"That's just right. If she doesn't respond at all, I have to suspect that the direction of the investigation is wrong." Xiao Yu'an said calmly, "Our people are already in the Aiqin Waterside Community, and we will bring her back soon."

When hanging up the phone, Mingshu's heart was fixed.

Yu Caixin's office is very tidy, in line with her own temperament.Mingshu turned around and his eyes stayed on the bookshelf.

"Isn't this the book from Tomb Heart?" Fang Yuanhang quickly put on his gloves and took off the book, "Some people deserve to die——this is the book Lu Kun read when he was mad! Damn, she and Lu Kun , Li Hongmei read the same book? Our earliest thinking was not wrong!"

Mingshu took the book from Fang Yuanhang's hand, turned a few pages, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Before the murderer killed Luo Xiangfu, he took pictures." Fang Yuanhang walked around to the large desk, talking about Caixin's laptop, "Master, do you think it is possible to hide the photos inside?"

"No!" Xiao Yu immediately caught up, hugged the notebook in his arms, and said cautiously: "You can't just refer to the notebook of the boss, this, this contains our business secrets!"

Fang Yuanhang said loudly: "We are investigating the case!"

"But..." Xiao Yu's forehead was full of sweat, and his voice lowered, "But this notebook is really important."

"It's okay." Mingshu said, "Don't worry about this notebook for now."

Fang Yuanhang still wanted to insist, "Master!"

"Yu Caixin left the office alone and hurried home, which means that her family's Aiqin Waterfront community has more secrets than here." Mingshu said: "And her secrets are our clues. Taking a step back, If there's something in this notebook that we can't see, why didn't she take it with me?"

Fang Yuanhang has already taken the notebook from Xiaoyu's hand, weighed it twice, "Yes, it's not heavy."

Mingshu turned the book to the last page, looked at other books on the shelf, and called Fang Yuanhang: "Is this book too new?"

"Is it new?" Fang Yuanhang observed for a long time, "I don't usually read much..."

"Here." Ming Shu pointed to the spine of the book, "If this kind of cover paper has been flipped through many times, there will be obvious creases here."

Fang Yuanhang said: "So Yu Caixin just bought this book, but didn't read much?"

Ming Shu was silent for a moment, then said ambiguously: "It's hard to say."

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Crime Squad.

Yu Caixin is still dressed in smart business attire, but the skirt has been replaced with trousers.

Her high heels clicked on the corridor outside the inquiry room, as if she was not being brought in for an investigation, but rushed to meet an important candidate.

The door of the inquiry room was opened, Mingshu turned around and looked directly into Yu Caixin's eyes.

In those eyes, he didn't see the slightest surprise.

"We meet again." He pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down, Ms. Yu."

"You came to me because of the case of the cafe?" Yu Caixin had a very light perfume smell, which did not match the "strong fragrance" described by the shoe repairer.

"I went to your company to look for you today." Mingshu said, "Unfortunately, your partner and assistant all said that you went to Nancheng District to meet candidates."

Yu Caixin smiled and said, "Go home and deal with private matters, you must find a reason."

Mingshu also laughed: "You said that because you 'met' my colleague on the Aegean River, right?"

Yu Caixin sighed, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Employees go home to deal with private affairs, and they often use the excuse of going out to work and meeting customers." Ming Shu stared at Yu Caixin, "Your boss also uses this trick?"

"You seem to have misunderstood my job." Yu Caixin was not nervous, "I just work for myself, and I earn hard money, not the kind of big boss you imagined."

Mingshu said: "It's easy to talk about misunderstandings. Then, Ms. Yu, what kind of private matter are you dealing with this time when you go home?"

Yu Caixin paused for a few seconds, "Is this related to you bringing me here?"

Mingshu simply said: "It's related."

"I forgot to bring the medicine I need to take every day." Yu Caixin said, "I have to go back and get it."

"There is a pharmacy downstairs from your company, and there are more than one. From Huayun Center to your home, it takes half an hour one way without traffic jams." Mingshu said, "Why don't you buy it again in the pharmacy?"

Yu Caixin smiled and shook her head, "The medicine I take was prescribed in the hospital, and you can't buy it in general pharmacies."

Mingshu asked: "Oh? What kind of medicine is that?"

Yu Caixin was a little embarrassed, and said after a few seconds: "Daying-35."

"Short-acting contraceptives, prescription drugs." Mingshu said.

"I use it to treat hormone abnormalities." Yu Caixin said, "It's not for contraception."

Mingshu said: "This medicine can actually be bought in pharmacies."

Yu Caixin raised her eyebrows, "Really? I don't know."

Mingshu was silent, his eyes implying exploration.

This unexpected silence seemed to make Yu Caixin feel uncomfortable.

"I don't understand." She said, "It's been so long since the cafe incident, even if you have anything to ask me, it shouldn't be the attitude you have now."

Mingshu asked, "What do you think of my attitude now?"

Perhaps Yu Caixin didn't expect Mingshu to ask such a question, and her eyebrows, which were carefully sculpted at Xingguang Plastic Surgery Hospital, frowned.

"Huh?" Mingshu said, "What's my attitude now."

Yu Caixin became more and more uncomfortable. After a while, she laughed at herself, "You talk to me in such a tone, I thought I was implicated in something bad. You...you are a criminal policeman, right?"

"I do suspect that you are related to one 'bad thing'." Mingshu said by surprise: "No, to be precise, it should be two things."

Yu Caixin twitched her finger inadvertently, the amplitude was very small, but no matter how small it was, it was hard to escape Mingshu's sight.

"Cafe..." Yu Caixin was about to speak when Ming Shu interrupted, "We won't talk about coffee shops today."

Yu Caixin's expression of dissatisfaction was just right, "Since it has nothing to do with the cafe, I don't think there is any need for me to stay here anymore. I cooperate with the investigation for the sake of those murdered and frightened children. I am very busy with work, please don't make things difficult for me. "

After speaking, Yu Caixin stood up.

Mingshu stood up after him.His actual height is much higher than that of Yu Caixin, but Yu Caixin wears high heels, and the height difference between the two has been reduced a lot.

According to Zhan Huanxiong's visual inspection, the murderer was between 1 and 62 meters tall.People who have been scouts have better observation skills than ordinary people. As long as Zhan Huanxiong didn't intentionally confuse the public, then this height estimate should be accurate.

Yu Caixin looks over 1 meters, but if the high heels are removed, she is actually only 7 meters.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you leave yet." Ming Shu stretched out his hand to stop her, and did not make physical contact with Yu Caixin, but the sudden burst of aura made Yu Caixin take a step back.

Yu Caixin stared slightly, "You!"

"I suspect that you are related to the two murder cases." Mingshu smiled, "That's why I invite you to our serious crime team."

Mingshu bit the three words "Serious Crime Team" very clearly, confusion, surprise, and bewilderment appeared on Yu Caixin's face.

Like the dissatisfaction before, these three expressions are just right.

It's like it's been predicted and rehearsed countless times for it.

"Sit down, let's have a good chat." Ming Shu lifted his chin towards the chair, and after Yu Caixin sat down again, he asked, "Do you have any impressions of Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan?"

Yu Caixin said, "No."

Mingshu raised his eyebrows, "So straightforward? Don't you need to think about it?"

"What I do is dealing with people." Yu Caixin said: "A good memory is the foundation of my hard work in this industry. If I can't even remember a person I met, how can I recommend candidates?"

"What if they are not your candidates?" Ming Shu said, "For example... those street photographers in Huayun Center. Xinxiang is right next to Huayun. You must have seen those photographers taking pictures around handsome men and beautiful women .”

"You talk about them." Yu Caixin smiled confidently, "Many of them invited me to be their model."

"Oh?" Mingshu asked, "Since when?"

Yu Caixin paused slightly, "When will it start?"

Mingshu said: "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear - I want to ask, when did you start to be favored by street photographers? Before you went to Xingguang for micro-adjustment? Or after?"

Yu Caixin's expression suddenly froze, and in the next moment, an unconcealable unwillingness burst out in his eyes.

It was as if something was about to break free from under her perfect mask.

Mingshu didn't go on talking immediately, but observed her carefully.

Being favored and not being favored, this is obviously a node in Yu Caixin's psychology, an emotional switch, no matter how good she acted before, she can't control it at this time.

Because for her, not being favored is the most unbearable curse.

Mingshu put the photos of Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan on the table, "On July 7 and mid-April this year, they were killed by the same person. The person who killed them was a woman, and before they were killed, they often searched for them in the Huayun Center. Beautiful women."

After a brief gaffe, Yu Caixin's expression returned to normal, and her eyes swept over the photo, "I have no impression of them."

"Really?" Mingshu pointed his index finger at Chen Quanhan's photo, "But this photographer's friend still remembers you."

Yu Caixin's complexion remained unchanged, but her slender neck visibly stiffened.

"He remembered seeing you in the Huayun Center who hadn't had plastic surgery." Mingshu stared at Yu Caixin's eyes, speaking slowly but with unabated momentum, "At that time you just got off work and came to the Huayun Center from Xinxiang. I walked in front of him and Chen Quanhan for the first time. I want to know, what were you thinking at that time?"

Yu Caixin looked away, "I can't remember."

Mingshu asked: "I don't remember what I was thinking, or I don't remember seeing Chen Quanhan?"

"Your doubts about me are unreasonable." When Yu Caixin looked back at Mingshu, her eyes became cold, "Can I ask a question? Why do you think I have something to do with the murder case? I don't understand what you just said, Street photography, plastic surgery, does this have something to do with your suspicion of me?"

Mingshu suddenly said: "—she is not good-looking, she has no characteristics at all, don't shoot her."

Hearing this, Yu Caixin's pupils tightened, and after a moment of stagnation, her breathing suddenly became short.

"You still remember this sentence." Mingshu said: "You said you don't remember Chen Quanhan, but you still remember the evaluation he made to you in front of you."

Yu Caixin shook her head, "I've never heard of this sentence."

"But your reaction just now has given me the answer." Mingshu said: "Lying is a skill that people are born with. You are an executive of a headhunting company, and you know how deceptive language is. A person's immediate reaction is sometimes the true reflection of her heart."

Ten seconds later, Yu Caixin laughed, "I'm still curious, why are you staring at me? These two people are strangers to me. I don't even know their names. At most, I just met them at the Huayun Center." But, how could I possibly kill them? Could it be that what you said just now is the basis for you to doubt me? I should remind you - I saved a child in front of the murderer regardless of my own safety. This is what you saw with your own eyes. Yes. I hate criminals, how can I be a criminal myself?"

"It's such a 'I hate criminals, how can I be a criminal'. Tomb Heart hates those who have lost their morals, but I am a more cruel murderer than those who have lost their morals." Yi Fei said on the phone: "Xiao Ming, We have already searched the Aegean Waterfront, and found nothing for the time being. However, Yu Caixin’s return trip is very strange, and ‘going home to get medicine’ does not make sense at all—the property management is very impressed with Yu Caixin, saying that she always leaves early Come home late, never come home during the day."

"Don't learn from Lu Yanzhou." Mingshu asked, "Have the surveillance on July 7, 1, and 2 been transferred?"

Yi Fei said: "The transfer was made, but Yu Caixin came home late every day, so the monitoring didn't show anything."

"Xinxiang's monitoring and work records show that Yu Caixin left the company at noon on July 7." Mingshu said: "Looking at the communication records, she called seven clients, but what did she do today? It’s not yet certain.”

"In other words, she doesn't have an alibi." Yi Fei thought for a while, "It's been so long since the murder case, she has time to get rid of the tools and clothes she wore at the time, but the photos she took, even if they are deleted, still have traces."

Mingshu said: "Bring back all the electronic devices in Yu Caixin's home, don't leave the memory card behind, let Zhou Yuan do a thorough inspection."

The technical investigation team was busy until midnight, restoring all the electronic equipment, but they still couldn't find the photos of Luo Xiangfu and Chen Quanhan.

"I'm innocent." Yu Caixin raised her neck, confident of winning, "I didn't kill anyone. Do you know why you can't find evidence? Because it's your imagination, it doesn't exist at all."

This time it was Zhou Yuan and Yi Fei who faced Yu Caixin, and Mingshu was watching the surveillance in another room.

If he only suspected Yu Caixin before, now he has confirmed that the murderer is Yu Caixin.

The murderer had serious psychological problems, he killed serially in a retaliatory manner, and left clues afterwards to provoke the police.

Knowing that the police have not found conclusive evidence for the time being, the distortion and arrogance in Yu Caixin's eyes can no longer be concealed.She was arrogant and looked down at the criminal police in front of her, as if to say - you can't find any evidence, what can you do to me?

The same expression once appeared on Hou Cheng's face.

"Yu Caixin may destroy other evidence, but she will definitely not destroy the photos." Xiao Yuan said: "The appearance of Chen Quanhan and Luo Xiangfu before they were killed is her 'trophy'."

"Where will she hide the 'trophies'?" Ming Shu propped his chin, walking back and forth, "There is one more thing that I find very strange——What is the purpose of Yu Caizhong returning home halfway? I thought she was going to deal with things that we can't see I found something, but Yi Fei checked it, and it doesn't seem to be. The reason she gave was 'go home to get medicine', but I don't believe it, it's against her way of doing things."

"Do you remember that when we profiled the murderer, we analyzed that she committed the crime 'cleanly' and would not do unnecessary things." Xiao Yu'an said.

Mingshu nodded, "We compared her with Hou Cheng."

"Except for the photos, Yu Caixin should have disposed of other evidence long ago. Her trip home this time is redundant." Xiao Yu'an said, "It doesn't match her 'clean' habits."

Ming Shu frowned in thought, and suddenly said: "She wants to mislead us!"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, she returned home strangely, the police must focus on what she did when she returned home, and ignore other things."

Mingshu took a long breath, "Didn't she go home to hide the photos, where are the photos?"

At this moment, Xiao Yuan's cell phone rang.

Mingshu looked at it, "Who?"

"The brother unit of Yu Caixin's hometown." Xiao Yuan said: "It seems that the background investigation has the results."
