Madness of the Heart

"Although I know it's pretending to be a ghost, it's too weird from this angle." Fang Yuanhang jumped on the spot a few times to show that he was shaking off his goosebumps, "And it's still at night, and the nearby surveillance cameras didn't even catch the fart. , but the shadow in the glass was captured by the surveillance in the distance, it is simply a classic scene in a horror movie - the ghost cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can be seen in the mirror! I will go and go, fortunately, this is an investigation."

It's no wonder that Fang Yuanhang reacted too much, the scene of the "female ghost" "floating" through the glass is really scary.

On a big night, who would dress like this?Moreover, the "female ghost" had very long hair, her head was half bowed, her black hair covered most of her face, and the exposed skin was pale and blue.

Mingshu asked Zhou Yuan to refine the picture, which can be affected by the angle and glass. Even if the shadow's face is maximized and the clarity is adjusted to the highest, it is impossible to identify who it is.

Fang Yuanhang almost put his face in front of the monitor, "This person is obviously pretending to be Sha Chun. Lu Xin just heard her crying. If he saw her back, would he faint from fright? This woman It's too fierce."

"It doesn't have to be a woman." Xiao Yu'an said, "Look carefully, there is no such tall woman in the Folk Music Club. Moreover, TA's hair is too long. With hair of this length, there is a high probability that it is a wig."

"What about the other departments of the group?" Mingshu said, "Sha Chun has no friends in the folk music club. This has something to do with interests and competition."

"Whether it's from the Performing Arts Group or not, it's hard to come to a conclusion now." Xiao Yu'an folded his arms, "Our previous assumption was that the person who spread the supernatural rumors was the one who helped Sha Chun 'suicide'. Now this person in the surveillance Must it be Sha Chun’s colleague? Not necessarily, we can’t even see people clearly, let alone the clothes. Outsiders can easily enter the park at night, and even the interior of the new building. It’s not difficult to order a set of light gauze costumes in advance .”

Mingshu took a deep breath, propped his chin and did not speak.

"However, judging from this person's behavior, I think it is more likely that he is an employee of the Folk Music Club." Xiao Yuan put one hand on the table and the other on the back of Mingshu's chair, looking at the monitor repeatedly, "This There are many cameras on the floor, but TA can avoid them all, which shows that TA is familiar with the location of the cameras and the blind spots. Being photographed with shadows is something that TA cannot expect, and ordinary people really do not consider the problem of shadows. If TA is a As an outsider, it is difficult for him to find out all the blind spots in full view."

Xiao Yu settled down, and said again: "Let's talk about the other employees of the Performing Arts Group. The layout of each floor of the new building is different, and the blind spots on the upper and lower floors are not equal to the blind spots on this floor. It’s just as easy to expose yourself as you come to get acquainted with the situation.”

Mingshu said to himself, "But if it's really a member of the folk music club, who would this person be?"

The room where men’s and women’s performance costumes are stored is next to the small performance hall. Mingshu said: “Let’s see if there are any missing costumes. Even if there are no shortages, if this person stole the costumes, there should be traces left.”

After counting, there was indeed one piece of costume missing, and it was the largest size that no one had ever worn.

Mingshu approached Han Mingming and asked why he ordered such a performance costume that did not match the body shapes of all the female employees.

"This one is actually for male employees." Han Mingming was listless, his face was full of tiredness, as if he had been crushed by the turmoil of the past few days.

Fang Yuanhang was curious, "Your folk music club is still interested in 'cross-dressing'?"

"That's not true." Han Mingming shook her head, "Actually, there are a few pieces in the clothing section for male employees that are custom-made for female employees. Sometimes when we perform, the number of people is not right, and we need to dress up as women or as men depending on the situation."

Mingshu immediately asked: "Who is the best dressed man in the band?"

There is a reason for him to ask this question.

Although the shadow in the glass is blurry, it can be seen from the walking posture that it has a feminine charm.

Everyone can wear women's clothing, but not every man can dress like a woman and look feminine.

When they first saw the surveillance footage, almost everyone thought that this person was a woman.It's not that the observation is not in place, it's precisely because the observation is too good, the way TA walks and the momentum is no different from that of a woman.

Mingshu asked himself, even if he put on a skirt and a wig, he still couldn't get out of the charm of a woman in this ancient costume.

"Best?" Han Mingming lowered her head and thought for a while, "Actually, in our line of work, we usually have to train our body. If you think it's the best... then it might be Qu Xing."

Mingshu frowned slightly.

Qu Xing, Qu Xing again.

Last time in the inquiry room, Qu Xing's attitude was quite arrogant, he almost said "I am the murderer".

Due to insufficient evidence, when the time limit expired, the crime team had to release him, and Qu Xing had already returned to the Performing Arts Group.

Ming Shu asked Lu Xin if Qu Xing had left work when he heard the crying.

Lu Xin said with certainty that after Sha Chun's accident, the scheduled performances were called off, and many musicians asked for leave to go home, and those who stayed didn't have the heart to work all day, and there was really nothing to do, only the administrative positions required Punching in to work, apart from her, there were only two other administrative staff in the office that day.

Mingshu immediately asked Zhou Yuan to adjust the video of the open-air parking lot and the underground garage.

The performing arts group is far away from the city center, Qu Xing never took the bus arranged by the group, and drove his own car back and forth.If Qu Xing was in the group that day, the car might also be parked in the group.

Sure enough, Qu Xing's blue sports car was parked in the garage, and at 11:04 at night, Qu Xing appeared on the surveillance camera and drove the sports car away.

Qu Xing's exclusive practice room is very large, and it is the most special room in the folk orchestra.

In this practice room, Fang Yuanhang found the lost large costume.

"That's right, I was the one who caused the panic." Qu Xing crossed his legs, still arrogant, "What charges are you going to arrest me for? Disturbing public order? Or picking quarrels and provoking trouble? Sorry, I'm legally illiterate, I don't understand your profound Why don't you give me a popular science?"

Mingshu didn't have time to chat with him, so he just said: "It seems that you are very upset about Sha Chun."

Qu Xing frowned, as if he was thinking, and said after a long time: "I complain for her?"

Mingshu snorted slightly, "You pretended to be a woman—no, a female ghost—to scare your female colleagues in the bathroom, and fabricated all kinds of supernatural rumors to make those who bullied Sha Chun panic all day long. You Isn’t it just complaining about Sha Chun?”

Qu Xing's Adam's apple rolled down, and a sneering smile appeared on his face, "Tch——I asked you to explain to me what crimes and laws I committed, but you want to talk about it elsewhere."

Mingshu was standing, looking at Qu Xing with cold eyes.

Although Qu Xing's current behavior is to help Sha Chun take revenge on his colleagues, he is not like the person who helped Sha Chun commit suicide—if this person does exist.

Qu Xing has anti-reconnaissance awareness, but this anti-reconnaissance awareness is obviously a bit weak. He knows how to find the blind spot of surveillance, and knows how to sneak into the women's bathroom from the blind spot, but forgets that his car is parked in the garage.The most exaggerated thing is that Qu Xing didn't return the costume immediately after using it.

Being so easily exposed to the police's field of vision does not fit the previous criminal profile.

But it is not without this kind of people who wear clothes backwards and deliberately confuse the police.In the tomb heart case that was solved not long ago, Hou Cheng was an example.

Mingshu didn't dare to take it lightly, and asked, "Sha Chun asked you to help her?"

The arrogance between Qu Xing's eyebrows gradually subsided, "Who do you think I am? Will I obediently listen to Sha Chun?"

Mingshu said: "No. Then tell me, what is your reason for doing all this? You look down on Sha Chun, but after she was killed, you pretended to be her and wept in the women's bathroom. That said No way, Teacher Qu."

Qu Xing probably wasn't used to looking up at anyone, so he also stood up and stared into Mingshu's eyes.

After a while, Qu Xing asked: "You still believe what I say like last time?"

Mingshu smiled, "Who told you that I believe what you say?"

Qu Xing's lips tensed.

Mingshu narrowed his eyes, and said mercilessly, "You tell me, I'll listen. I don't believe anyone's words, I only believe in evidence and my own judgment."

Qu Xing blinked, and suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing, he said: "You are more interesting than all the policemen I have ever met."

Mingshu said: "Why don't you tell this interesting policeman about your mental journey?"

"Okay, but I still say the same thing. I only have one mouth and no evidence. Believe it or not. If you don't believe me, you can find evidence to sentence me. If you can't find it, it means you are incompetent." Qu Xing's tone was extremely relaxed, like I was joking, "Dongye City is so big, Sha Chun is going to die in the Performing Arts Group, why do you think this is?"

Mingshu pretended not to understand, "Why?"

Qu Xing asked: "You really don't know?"

Mingshu said, "I really don't know."

Fang Yuanhang, who was staring at the surveillance camera next door, went crazy, "Are you talking about cross talk!"

Qu Xing shook his head, "If you want to trick me—"

Mingshu smiled calmly.

Qu Xing snorted, "Then I'll let you set it up."

Mingshu patted the table lightly, "Aren't you tired from standing? Sit down and talk."

"I kind of believe in destiny." Qu Xing said, "I think Sha Chun died in the Performing Arts Group, so there is a reason why she died in the Performing Arts Group. Do you think she wants to take revenge on a bunch of idiots in the Folk Music Club? Maybe she wants to scare them. After all, they used to bully her so much. I worked with her anyway. To be honest, although she is stupid, I admire her hard work. I am also a hard-working person, you letter……"

"Wait." Mingshu interrupted, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "You just picked yourself out like that? Aren't you also from the Folk Music Club? Haven't you also ridiculed Sha Chun?"

But Qu Xing said seriously: "I didn't. Don't confuse me with those idiots."

Mingshu laughed dryly: "Oh?"

"I beat Sha Chun, but my starting point is not bad. Her talent is not enough to support her ideal, which is quite pitiful. With her innate condition, she should like Guzheng as a hobby. But she insists on forcing herself Is it realistic to make achievements in this industry, such as achieving my achievements, huh?" Qu Xing continued: "I told her to give up, although the words are harsh, but the reasoning is not harsh. Substantial difference."

Mingshu raised his eyebrows on the right side, nodded after a while, "Continue."

"I have a clear conscience." Qu Xing shrugged, "You can regard my act of pretending to be a ghost as my 'whim'. Tsk tsk, the last time I was on a whim, I called Sha Chun to my house to start a small stove. This time, it’s to help Sha Chun take revenge. Those people have had enough mouth addictions, and Sha Chun can’t cure them when they’re alive, so they can always scare them when they’re dead.”

Mingshu said: "Have you ever thought that if you make such a fuss once, you won't be able to stay in the Performing Arts Group in the future?"

"I don't care." Qu Xing stroked his hair casually, "I told you last time, if you think I'm a murderer, you can send me to the procuratorate for me. Your public, prosecution and law are integrated, and finally give me a sentence. Sentence, let me go to prison, I may have to thank you. Inspiration comes from life, I have experienced all kinds of life, but I have not been in prison. You let me go back to prison, maybe I will still Can create works that are higher than ever before.”

"This, this, this!" Fang Yuanhang said, "Is this person immature or mentally ill?"

In a short period of time, Yi Fei has come into contact with two people whose spiritual world is different from ordinary people, one is Xu Yin who feels kind to the smell of corpses, and the other is Qu Xing who "desires" to go to jail, and he shakes his head helplessly, "I'm too ordinary, I I don’t understand. Maybe your master Xiao Ming can understand.”

Fang Yuanhang said: "I recorded it, you said Xiao Ming is a weirdo."

Yi Fei: "...Does your master know that you call him Xiao Ming? And I didn't say your master is weird, you said it yourself."

The room was quiet for a few minutes, Mingshu looked down and landed on Qu Xing's hand.

Those hands have slender fingers and strong joints, ignoring the scars and calluses caused by playing the pipa all the year round, it can be said that they are a pair of very beautiful hands.

Qu Xing wore ornaments on his neck and ears, which were shiny and exaggerated like a pipa player, but his hands did not have any ornaments, and his knuckles were neatly trimmed. Although beautiful, it was a simple beauty.

Exaggeration and simplicity are all in Qu Xing.

Qu Xing noticed that Mingshu was looking at his hand, his right hand subconsciously grasped the back of his left hand lightly, his eyes were somewhat wary.

Ming Shu stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Qu Xing's wrist.

Qu Xing was shocked and wanted to break free, but he was no match for the front-line criminal police.

"what are you doing?"

When he yelled these words, Qu Xing's former comfort and publicity were gone, and his face was full of fear, as if the gate of his life was held in the hands of others.

Mingshu increased the strength in his hands, and stared into Qu Xing's eyes.

Qu Xing broke out in cold sweat, his voice trembling, "Let me go, you..."

Fang Yuanhang said, "What is my master doing?"

Yi Fei propped his chin, and said slowly: "Test."

One minute later, Mingshu seemed to have had enough of playing this inexplicable game, so he let go of his hand and pushed Qu Xing lightly.

Qu Xing hurriedly covered his hands, and stared at Mingshu angrily, the whites of his eyes were red, and there was mist in his eyes.

"A genius can't live without doing something for a day." Ming Shu put his hands in his trouser pockets and reported to Xiao Yu'an, "Qu Xing helped Sha Chun take revenge, but he couldn't be the murderer who killed Sha Chun."

Xiao Yu'an understood, "Qu Xing cares too much about his hands."

"I should have thought of this when I faced Qu Xing last time." Mingshu said, "A person like Qu Xing has an extraordinary love for his hands. His hands have been carefully maintained and are only used Playing the pipa and other musical instruments, as well as things that must be done with hands in life. Sha Chun died of strangulation and struggled before his death. Strangling an adult woman with a hemp rope requires a lot of force, and the hands must be Form a load. Qu Xing may have a motive for committing the crime, and there is no alibi, but he absolutely cannot kill Sha Chun by strangling his neck."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Qu Xing is an interfering factor, returning to the two cases themselves—remember, I said last time that there is a very contradictory point in Sha Chun's plan to commit suicide?"

Mingshu nodded, "Remember, the person who helped kill Sha Chun must be someone Sha Chun trusted. This person is very important to Sha Chun, and vice versa. Then how could Sha Chun be willing to involve this person in a murder case, let this A person's future life will be completely changed?"

"After discovering Wu Zhen's line, I found a basis to overthrow this contradiction." Xiao Yu'an opened the autopsy report sent by Xing Mu, paused for a moment and said: "The one who helped Sha Chun 'suicide' is not necessarily the right Sha Chun. Chunlai is a very important person, and he may also be someone who shares the same illness as Sha Chun. Just like Sha Chun is to Wu Zhen."

Mingshu opened the seat and sat down, staring at the autopsy report.

Xiao Yu'an's words didn't surprise him. In fact, he had already thought of the same direction, but Ran He's sudden suicide and the supernatural rumors of the Performing Arts Group interrupted him one after another, so that he couldn't figure out a complete logical chain.

"Wu Zhen and Sha Chun are obviously the same kind of people. They both lack talent. They think that hard work can make up for their weakness, and they insist on going their own way. In the end, after countless blows, they finally see the reality clearly and face themselves—for people like them who have given everything and worked hard for many years. Said, it will make them lose the motivation to live." Xiao Yuan said: "They want to end their lives, but they are unwilling to commit suicide, because in their view, suicide may be a cowardly act."

"Suicide won't cause any storms." Mingshu clapped his fists, "Homicide is different. They will become the focus of people's attention within a certain period of time. Wu Zhen is the screenwriter, and Sha Chun is the zither player. These two professions are not ordinary professions, they both need exposure, they are too eager for attention, especially Sha Chun—otherwise she would not keep uploading her playing videos.”

"This is very clear. Both of them had obvious suicidal tendencies in their deaths, but what was finally presented to us was homicide, and Sha Chun had Wu Zhen's most important notebook. This can be understood as a kind of inheritance. "Xiao Yu'an said: "If it was Sha Chun who helped Wu Zhen 'suicide', and another 'similar' of them killed Sha Chun, then the chain of logic would be closed."

Ming Shu took a deep breath, "In other words, Sha Chun's most important thing—hands—is still preserved by that person. And that person is now looking for the next 'similar'."

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, Xiao Man was out of breath, his face was abnormally red, "Ming team! Xiao Ju!"

Mingshu took the thick stack of reports in his hand and turned directly to the last page.

"The footprints we extracted next to the barbed wire fence in the vocational school, through modeling and comparison, can...can be proved to be completely consistent with Sha Chun's footprints!" Xiao Man wiped off his sweat, "Also! There are blood stains on the barbed wire fence, And Sha Chun's DNA also matches! Sha Chun is most likely the one who killed Wu Zhen and sealed Wu Zhen in the concrete pier!"
