Madness of the Heart

In recent years, the performance market has been booming, and Dongye Performing Arts Group has made a lot of money, so it built a new office building by the beautiful river in Nancheng District.

After the spring of this year, employees began to move by department.Half a year later, the old office building, located in the old cultural district, was completely abandoned.

The last one to move out was the ethnic musical instrument department.

One day in June, Sha Chun came out of the old office building with his luggage, boarded the bus to pick up the employees to the new building, and looked back at the place where he had worked for nearly ten years.

She has feelings for it here.

It was a gloomy day, with black clouds pressing down on the roof, a sign of impending rain.

Below the black clouds, the six broken characters of "Dongye Performing Arts Group" are being removed by construction workers.

This building has stood here for more than 30 years and has been renovated several times, from no elevator to adding an elevator, from only electric fans to air-conditioning coverage.It has witnessed several ups and downs of Dongye Performing Arts Group, and also witnessed Sha Chun's growth from a school girl to a social person.

Now, it's been sold.

Its new owner bought it just because of its great location - the old cultural district is near the tourism distribution center of Dongye City, and there are many historic buildings. It will soon be converted into a cheap hotel to welcome visitors from all over the country tourists.

There was a flash of lightning in the black cloud, pale white, followed by rolling thunder.

Sha Chun shrank his shoulders reflexively, his eyes were a little sad.

Maybe all emotional people are like this.

The windows of the bus could not be opened, so her colleague ran to the door and shouted to him: "It's going to rain soon, don't waste everyone's time!"

Only then did Sha Chun notice that everyone in the car was waiting for him.

She ran into the car in embarrassment and said "sorry" several times in succession.

When the car started, she heard the male colleague sitting behind her dissatisfied: "Everyone wants to move to the new building, she is the one who is the devil. Damn it, I heard from Sister Ren that our department originally arranged to move last month, and it was her I made a report saying that there will be a performance in early June, and moving will delay the group rehearsal time, which has delayed until now. Is she sick? How much time will be delayed by moving this trip? She has no understanding, poor qualifications, and needs no day Practice all night, why drag us to be unlucky? This building is dilapidated and shabby, commuting to and from work is extremely congested, and there are few parking spaces. I have to park the car one kilometer away every day! I stayed here for a whole month, Just thinking about it makes me angry!"

The female colleague on the side whispered, "Forget it, she's in front, so listen carefully."

"What's wrong with hearing? It's good to hear!" The male colleague said more and more loudly, "Art is a job without talent. The department stayed with her in this broken building, and now we can let us wait for her to see the "scenery". After that, what do we have to wait for her to do? I don't think her name is Sha Chun, go change her name to Little Princess Sand!"

The car was not full, and Sha Chun was sitting alone on the double row seat. The male colleague said that he lowered his head and tightly grabbed his skirt with both hands.

The bus was passing through the rain curtain, and looking out through the window, all I could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.

The male colleagues chattered endlessly, "Look, it's raining so much, there must be traffic jams on the bridge. If it wasn't for this woman who fell ill and couldn't get up, procrastinating, why haven't we left the old cultural area yet? What happened? Fuck her!"

"Speak less!" The female colleague couldn't listen any longer, "It's just raining, what could happen? You don't want to talk like a crow!"

The middle-aged colleague in the last row agreed with the male colleague, "I am also annoyed that she is always playing hard work and hard work. What kind of advantage is this? She can't practice a song well, so of course she has to work overtime. What's so good about it?" Proud? When we do folk music, talent is more important than hard work. Diligence is not a strength, but a shame..."

Sha Chun's eyes were flushed, and her forehead hair blocked her eyes and eyebrows.When the bus was blocked on the bridge, she listened to the discussions around her and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

In the new building, the ethnic musical instruments section covers an entire floor, and only half of the offices face the river.

Sha Chun focuses on guzheng and is assigned to the practice room in Beijiang.She didn't say anything, as long as she didn't have a task to go out to perform, she would be the first to work and the last to leave just like before.

Dongye Performing Arts Group is not an entertainment company in the public perception. It was a government unit earlier, and later transformed into a joint-stock group. In fact, it still enjoys government resources and monopolizes performances such as dramas, concerts, and concerts in Dongye City. Agents and publicity are very lucrative.

Most of the positions in the group are not recruited from outside, and almost all employees have "relationships".

For those without much ambition, working in Dongye Performing Arts Group is equivalent to getting a golden job - leisurely work, high wages, business trips for eating, drinking and having fun, and watching star concerts for free throughout the year.

A hard-working person like Sha Chun is considered an outlier in the group.

In August, the folk music department received a new performance arrangement. A group of people rehearsed in the performance hall until the end of get off work, but the effect was still not satisfactory.

When encountering such a situation before, Sha Chun would suggest working overtime.But today, without saying anything, she put away her guzheng, said "Thanks for your hard work" to her colleagues, and left the performance hall quickly.

The male colleague who scolded her on the bus was surprised: "She just left? She doesn't work overtime?"

"I heard that Sha Chun took a job in a training institution outside, and now I have to go to class!" said a female colleague who also majored in guzheng.

Everyone gathered around, chatting while packing up their instruments.

"What organization? The salary we got is not low, why does she still take the job?"

"It's that kind of fake national style workshop, where Sha Chun teaches guzheng, pipa and cucurbit silk, and cheats laymen to cheat money."

"How much money can this make? She can't do it, can she?"

"Who knows? I also heard that Sha Chun used our resources to hook up with people in the film and television industry. This has made several short plays!"

"Is the condition of her family not bad?"

"What's the difference? Poor conditions allow her to learn so many musical instruments? Poor conditions can send her to our department?"

"Then what's wrong with her?"

Can't talk about why, everyone just treats Sha Chun as a joke.

The summer sunset glowed the river water into a golden red, and Sha Chun rode a bicycle speeding along this golden red line, and his figure gradually melted away in the brilliance.

When the rays of the sun faded, night fell quietly.

Beicheng District, living outside the city.

The police sirens were howling, half of the sky was shining with red and blue light, and a group of people in different clothes were escorted to the police car in a row at the side door of the dirty and hidden hot spring hotel.The special police were armed with live ammunition, three helicopters circled in the night sky, and several nearby roads were all blocked.

Three days ago, the special police detachment received a reliable tip that the city outside the city will conduct a major transaction, and the person in charge of it may be present in person.

The police in Dongye City had already been watching the outside of the city to death, and the invisible net was opened, and they waited silently until the net was closed.

This operation is very important, with all the elites of the special police detachment, and the serious crime team led by Mingshu also contributed to the flank.

"Xiao Ming!" Lu Yanzhou took off his helmet, revealing a wound on his scalp, "Thank you this time."

"What can I thank you for?" When the criminal police seldom needed to wear a special combat uniform, Mingshu took off the tactical vest after getting in the car, threw it on the seat, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with your head?"

"It's okay." Lu Yanzhou said, "I was hit by shrapnel."

"Fuck, is it okay?" Mingshu found the medicine box from under the seat, "You didn't wear a helmet first? Then why didn't the shrapnel go right in for you?"

"Little brother." Lu Yanzhou laughed twice, "There is a new player on the team, and he lost his helmet somewhere, so I gave him mine."

Mingshu had learned battlefield first aid in the special operations team. After looking at the injury on Lu Yanzhou's head, he was sure that the problem was not serious, so he dealt with it while teasing: "Are you embarrassed to say? Aren't you leading all the new players there? Forgot the helmet in the mission, how did you teach the captain?"

"Hiss..." Lu Yanzhou pinched his thigh hard, "You fucking be gentle! You fucking hurt me!"

Mingshu felt sorry for his friend, but he didn't show mercy, he applied the medicine as he should, and finally slapped Lu Yanzhou on the back, "Take back that sentence just now."

Lu Yanzhou didn't react, "Ah? What? Did you fucking hurt me?"

The other team members in the car laughed.

Mingshu said unhappily: "The last sentence!"

Lu Yanzhou: "You fucking take it easy?"

Mingshu took a cold look and scratched away.

Only then did Lu Yanzhou remember, "Oh, you said 'Brother's life is big'. Your brother's life is big, if the shrapnel is a little bit off, it will be troublesome."

"Don't say such things." Mingshu sighed, "You are a special police officer, and you have faced drug dealers and terrorists a lot, so don't fucking label yourself like that."

Lu Yanzhou laughed, "You're talking about this. Hey, Xiao Ming, I can't tell, you're really sensitive and caring, and I know you're worried about you, Brother Lu."

"Go to the side." Ming Shu pushed the person, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

The series of cases starting with Lu Kun had just been solved, and before he had time to rest, he came to cooperate with the actions of the special police detachment. After this tough battle, he was really overwhelmed.

"By the way, I haven't finished the task you gave me last time." Lu Yanzhou said and turned around, "Yo, fell asleep?"

"No." Mingshu's voice was a little buzzing, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yanzhou said, "It's Chi Xiaomin."

Mingshu cheered up, "There is still no news?"

"Well, it disappeared completely. It must not be an ordinary 'black household'." Lu Yanzhou put his hands on the back of his head, "It must be a 'little ghost', and he is a well-trained 'little ghost'. But I don't understand, since it is a training You Su' little ghost, what is her motive for approaching Li Hongmei? She showed Li Hongmei the book in the tomb heart, why did she focus on Li Hongmei? Could it be that she wanted to drag Li Hongmei into some organization? My heart. After thinking about it, I can only think of one possibility - Chi Xiaomin is also an insider of the case in Xiaben Village, or the victim, she needs Li Hongmei to make trouble this time, and she is taking revenge with a knife."

"There is no evidence." Mingshu said.

Regarding Chi Xiaomin, Mingshu had thought about it a lot more than Lu Yanzhou, and had discussed it with Xiao Yu'an several times, but he couldn't figure it out.

Let's say she has nothing to do with Li Hongmei's case. Her words and deeds have actually affected Li Hongmei.But if you want to say that she is an important part of Li Hongmei's crime, it's hard to say.

And her sudden disappearance is also very strange.

Mingshu opened the car window to blow air, and the more it blows, the hotter it feels.

Having been a criminal policeman for many years, he has not been very emotionally affected by what the suspect and the victim said or did, but this time the situation is special. There is a Li Hongmei, a Hou Yao, a Luo Xiangfu, and a Yu Caixin. I'm so sorry, thinking about it carefully, I'm really not reconciled.

Yu Caixin's phrase "When they killed me, did they feel scared?" was still in my ears, and at this moment, the hopes of those women in Shetu Town were also indirectly wiped out.

Wen Li has stood firm in Shetu Town for three years, and firmly believes that the status quo there can be changed. If one generation is not enough, only two or three generations.But when she learned the truth about Luo Xiangfu's murder, she didn't respond for a long time, and finally said softly: "I killed Teacher Luo."

Before leaving Dongye City, Wen Li said that she would not return to Shetu Town again.

"I tried my best, and it's all a pity."

"If I don't work so hard, at least Teacher Luo won't die."

"What did I get for my hard work?"

"Everything I do is superfluous, I am a sinner."

A door that Wen Li pushed open with all his strength, was quietly closed like this, as if it had never been opened.

The police car stopped at the gate of the city bureau, Mingshu did not go to the special police detachment with Lu Yanzhou.He looked upstairs, and the lights in Xiao Yuan's office were not turned on.

Tonight's operation was coordinated by various departments, and Xiao Yu'an might still be in the provincial department at this time.

Mingshu didn't make a phone call, and didn't go home alone. He went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower. After tidying up, he heard the noise coming from downstairs. He was about to go and see when his phone rang.

"Don't sleep in the office tonight?" Xiao Yuan said.

Mingshu glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Brother, where are you?"

"Come down." Xiao Yu'an said, "I'm waiting for you at the gate of the noodle shop."

The noodle shop refers to a ramen shop about [-] meters away from the city bureau. Before Xiao Yuan was transferred to Dongye City, he occasionally parked his car there.

Mingshu put away his good things, took a bottle of drink, passed through the SWAT brothers downstairs, and went straight to the noodle shop.

Before getting in the car, Mingshu finished his drink, grabbed the bottle and threw himself into the passenger seat.

Xiao Yu'an was about to start the car when Ming Shu hooked his neck.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"I'm off tomorrow, right?"

"You can rest for the next week, it's been hard work for a while."

Half of Mingshu's body has already leaned into Xiao Yu'an's arms, "Then give me a kiss."

The light from the street lamp shone into the car through the glass and settled in Xiao Yuan's eyes.

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and kissed Mingshu's lips.

What Mingshu drank just now was sour plum soup, and his mouth was full of sweet and sour taste.He sucked Xiao Yu'an's tongue, and then pushed his own tongue into the opponent's mouth. He wanted to take the initiative, kissed very hard, but gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Xiao Yu'an did everything with ease, without panic, investigating the case and kissing him.

He was supported by the back of his neck, his eyes gradually widened, he felt Xiao Yuan's invasion wholeheartedly, he didn't understand why he became the one to suffer passively when he had taken the first opportunity.

There was the sound of lips and teeth intertwining in the car. He changed from leaning on the driver's seat to being pressed on the passenger seat, and the sweet and sour taste in his mouth was dispelled by blood.

It was the tip of his tongue that was bitten off.

Xiao Yu'an sucked away the gushing blood from that star, and when he let go, he helped him buckle up the seat belt.

Looking at each other, Mingshu felt that his body was gradually heating up.

The car was driving on the empty road, Ming Shu rolled his tongue for a while, "I haven't finished talking just now."

Xiao Yuan asked: "What?"

Mingshu said bluntly: "Ms. Xiao, I have a rest tomorrow, and the students want to hand in 'homework'."

Xiao Yuan smiled, "No problem."

Mingshu's house is closer to the city bureau, but he won't have to work for the next week, so Xiao Yu'an plans to throw him in his own house.

Residential communities far away from the city center are always quieter.

The drive was not short, Mingshu put down his rhetoric, but fell asleep on the way, Xiao Yuan waited in the garage for a while, grabbed his chin and shook it, "Wake up, go home and sleep again."

Ming Shu frowned, feeling a little angry, staring at Xiao Yu'an in bewilderment, and finally uttered a word, "Brother, you won't carry me?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "Go by yourself."

Mingshu hesitated for a while, then got out of the car, "Tsk, just go by yourself."

It's a short walk from the garage to the house, but it's clear enough to be sober.

After entering the elevator, he wiped his face and said, "You've become a mess."

Xiao Yuan rubbed his head, "Excuse me, Mr. Ming, how did you become such a mess?"

"You don't hurt me anymore." Mingshu said: "I fell asleep before, and you wouldn't wake me up, either hugging or carrying me, but it hurts."

Xiao Yu'an recited Mingshu a lot, especially when Mingshu was a child.

Mingshu has no brothers and sisters, Xiao Yuan usually brings Mingshu with him whenever the Xiao family has any activities.

One year, Xiao Jinlan fell in love early and made a handsome boyfriend. He wanted to date but was afraid of being discovered by his parents, so he simply packed his brother and cousin with him, saying that he was going to have a picnic by the river, but in fact he asked his younger brothers to cover up.

Mingshu was excited when he heard that he was going to stay by the river for a night. He packed his luggage until midnight the night before departure, and waited at the door of Xiao's house before dawn. It was a whole night.

Children are energetic, but they can't stand such a toss.When they got to the river, Xiao Yu'an and his cousin Xiao Muting of the same age set up a tent and played with the barbecue grill. Ming Shu wanted to help, but Xiao Yu'an's younger cousin Xiao Jincheng took him to a water fight.

After playing until night, Mingshu was already so sleepy that his head kept drooping.

But Xiao Yu'an told him that there was a meteor shower at night, and he was reluctant to fall asleep.

Xiao Jinlan spread a thick blanket on the pebbles, coaxed him to sleep on the blanket, and told him to wake him up when the meteor shower appeared.

He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Everyone waited until they yawned and didn't see the meteor shower, and got into the tent to sleep one after another. Seeing that he was fast asleep, Xiao Yuan didn't call him, but directly picked him up and put him next to his sleeping bag.

This is a childhood thing.

Later, when he became an adult, Xiao Yu'an also hugged Mingshu on his back. Mingshu knew about it most of the time, but he was keen on playing tricks and pretending to be asleep.

He sometimes wanted to hug Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan was a light sleeper and would wake up when touched, and Xiao Yuan was taller and heavier than him, so he couldn't hug him, and it was very difficult for him to recite.

"You're too heavy." Xiao Yu'an said solemnly, "You'll flash my waist."

The elevator door opened, and Mingshu stepped out, "Then I dare not let you carry it anymore. Come on, boss, let me press your waist for a while."

Said that the door has been opened, and the light was not on when the door was closed, Ming Shu's back hit the door, the hem of the police uniform was torn open, Xiao Yu'an clasped his lower back with calloused hands.
