Madness of the Heart

A key high school like Ninth Middle School is not only rich in teachers, but also in hardware equipment.

Primary and secondary schools and colleges with a long history have a characteristic - they are built in the center of the city.However, in big cities, land is expensive, and the faster the city develops, the more students there will be. The old campus cannot meet the demand, and it cannot be expanded in situ. We can only build branch schools around the city. Students in the lower grades go to the branch campus, and the old campus is reserved for seniors. students, juniors, seniors, and postgraduates.

If you want to compare the old and new campuses, it must be that the hardware equipment of the new campus is better. However, the Ninth Middle School held the National Middle School Basketball Championship a few years ago. Although the venues of the new campus are sufficient, the campus does not have the historical charm like the old campus.Therefore, the school management decided to renovate the old campus with the standards of the new campus. The round robin will be played in the new campus, and the finals will be played in the old campus.

Thanks to this patronage, the old campus of No. [-] Middle School has become the middle school with the most complete security system in Dongye City. It is clear at a glance whether a student has entered the school and when he has left.

Yu Xiaocheng said that on the night of August 8, he had a self-study at school, but Zhou Yuan and other technical investigators went through the monitoring of the day, and learned that Yu Xiaocheng left the third floor of the high school at noon on the 23rd, and then left the Ninth Middle School by Xiaoximen. He did not return to No. 23 Middle School through any school gate.And the next day, Yu Xiaocheng didn't show up.

Jin Shan, Yu Xiaocheng's deskmate, said that she remembered very clearly that Yu Xiaocheng didn't come to self-study in those two days, and she also found out the WeChat chat records between herself and her classmates, "It's here, on the 23rd and 24th. We are all afraid of Yu Xiaocheng, and think he is very strange. No matter how early I get to the classroom every day, he is already there, and he leaves later than me at night. So I didn’t see him that day, so I immediately sent a message to Brother Shuang gone."

Zhou Yuan flipped through Jin Shan's chat history, accidentally flipping through too much, and found a photo sandwiched in a string of text.

The photo was not clear, it was a candid shot, a man and a woman in the picture, the boy turned his back to the camera, and the woman turned her face halfway, very similar to Sha Chun.

Zhou Yuan suddenly became vigilant, "This is?"

"Ah!" Jin Shan exclaimed, "Why did you turn to the back?"

"Sorry." Zhou Yuan didn't return the phone to Jin Shan, and asked seriously, "Where did this photo come from?"

The policeman in front of her seemed not much older than herself, kind and a little weak. Jin Shan then showed the phone to the other party. At this time, Zhou Yuan's face suddenly sullen, she was startled, and said falteringly: "Yes. , it was taken by brother Shuang, we thought this sister was Yu Xiaocheng's girlfriend."

The one called "Brother Shuang" is actually a girl, Qin Shuang, the art committee member of the class.

In the third year of senior high school, there is no need for a literature and art committee. Everyone is focused on studying, and music and art classes are all cancelled. The literature and art committee is just a idle job.

But Qin Shuang is different from Jin Shan, Yu Xiaocheng and other students who take the ordinary college entrance examination. a line.

For this reason, Qin Shuang practiced dancing in the art building every noon and night, and in three months, she would go to the capital to take the professional exam.

The art building and the third floor are separated by more than half of the campus. When Zhou Yuan hurried to the art building, Qin Shuang was leaning on the pole to wipe his sweat.

Jin Shan had already told Qin Shuang what was going on on the phone. Qin Shuang had a cheerful personality, and even gave Zhou Yuan a playful salute when he saw Zhou Yuan.

"I saw them here, and I secretly took a few photos when I was excited. The one I sent to Xiaoshan is one of them. I have others here." Qin Shuang searched all the photos of Xiaocheng and Sha Chun Come out, "Uncle policeman, am I not invading someone's privacy?"

Unexpectedly, he was called "Uncle Policeman", and Zhou Yuan's hand trembled, almost dropping his phone.

Qin Shuang laughed, "You really don't look like a policeman."

Zhou Yuan tried his best to maintain the aura that the police should have, "Do you know why they appear here?"

On the way here, Zhou Yuan has already observed that the art building is located at the corner of the campus, with a small forest on the side, very few students, and the building is even more deserted. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an "abandoned building".

"I don't know, I just thought it was amazing, so I secretly took a few photos to discuss with Xiaoshan." Qin Shuang said, "No one comes here except us students who are preparing for professional exams. You see, right? I am usually alone in such a big practice room, and there is a boy in the science class next door. To be honest, it is quite scary here at night. If it is not for my dream, I would not come here. In fact, the first thing I saw was Yu Xiaocheng, I was scared to death at that time, I thought he was here to do bad things, his gloomy person..."

Qin Shuang glanced at Zhou Yuan in the middle of speaking, "Hey, hey, he shouldn't speak ill of his classmates. I just wondered why he came here when he wasn't doing a test in the classroom one day? I didn't see that sister until later, He should have come to wait for that sister."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked: "Did you hear what they said?"

Qin Shuang shook his head, "I can't hear clearly, but I think they are arguing about something. That sister pulled Yu Xiaocheng's clothes several times, and Yu Xiaocheng's face was ugly. Both Xiaoshan and I think they must be a couple. But Yu Xiaocheng actually has a girlfriend, which surprised us."

The photo was taken on August 8th, ten days before Sha Chun's death.At this time, the third year of senior high school has already begun, and it is unreasonable for Yu Xiaocheng to still have contact with Sha Chun, especially this mysterious connection.

Mingshu immediately asked the field staff to focus on the area around the Art Building of Ninth Middle School. Yi Fei said, "It seems that Sha Chun's hands are probably hidden there."

Yu Xiaocheng's residence has been thoroughly searched, there is no missing hands of Sha Chun, and the luminol test did not detect blood.If the hands are indeed in Xiaocheng's place, they must be hidden in a hidden but controllable place.

For Xiaocheng, the safest place is undoubtedly the campus where he has lived for more than four years, and the most hidden place in this campus is undoubtedly the art building and its vicinity.

Mingshu put the photo in front of Yu Xiaocheng, and Yu Xiaocheng leaned forward to take a look, kicked off the table and leaned back.

The legs of the chair creaked on the ground, and the recorder instinctively covered his ears, cursing "fuck me" in a low voice.

Mingshu, however, looked at Yu Xiaocheng expressionlessly, as if he expected Yu Xiaocheng to react like this.

"I can't keep lying?" Mingshu said, "The relationship between you and Sha Chun is not as simple as you said before, is it? On August 8, why did Sha Chun come to your school to find you? What do you have to do to get art?" Do you want to talk in a remote place like that?"

Yu Xiaocheng was extremely stretched, as if it would break apart soon.

"On August 8, you didn't go to the evening self-study, and you didn't go to the classroom on the next Sunday." Mingshu continued: "What made you, a student who cherishes time like gold, leave the campus for a long time? I I have seen the previous surveillance and learned from your classmates and teachers that you never rest on Saturdays and Sundays, only the 23rd and 23th disappeared inexplicably."

Yu Xiaocheng's neck tightened several times, and he murmured: "No, no..."

"Explain." Mingshu said, "What did you do those two days?"

The technical investigation is trying to find a way to check Yu Xiaocheng's payment records, but like Sha Chun, Yu Xiaocheng did not incur any transportation expenses from the 23rd to the 24th.

Comparing the payment records before and after, these two days have shown a "cliff" - Yu Xiaocheng has the habit of buying supper at the school gate after evening self-study, and often eats rice noodles downstairs in the rental room in the morning. 20 yuan; the sum of the two days from the 23rd to the 24th is 22 yuan, which is 23 yuan spent at the rice noodle shop on the morning of the 12rd and 24 yuan spent at a nearby convenience store in the afternoon of the 10th.

"I'm sleeping at home." Yu Xiaocheng said.

"But you just said not long ago that you are doing self-study at school." Ming Shu said, "Student, you are a liberal arts student, don't you talk about logic at all in politics class?"

Yu Xiaocheng was stunned for a long time, and only said: "You think I killed Sha Chun, but I didn't!"

"Since there is no, then tell me clearly, what did you do from the 23rd to the 24th?" Ming Shu said, "There is still August 8th, why did you meet Sha Chun?"

Yu Xiaocheng lowered his head, but still didn't answer.

"You still don't want to say it." There was already a trace of anger in Mingshu's tone.

Sha Chun's seemingly simple case has been investigated all the way to the present. The criminal's motives are incredible, and one link is closely linked. The serious crime team has been working day and night, and finally followed the two most critical lines.If you want to say tired, Mingshu is the most tired.No matter how calm people are, it is not easy to control their emotions when they are tired. Mingshu took a breath, pinched the center of his eyebrows, and tried his best to suppress his anger.

In fact, he has a way to stimulate Yu Xiaocheng to speak. "Diligent but not smart" is a wound in Yu Xiaocheng's heart, as long as he pokes here, Yu Xiaocheng will definitely collapse, once he collapses, the rest will be easy.

But the premise of stimulating Yu Xiaocheng with this injury is that Yu Xiaocheng is 100% the murderer who strangled Sha Chun.

Judging from the current clues, Yu Xiaocheng is the most suspicious of all.Everything he said and did seemed to prove that he was the murderer.

But Mingshu has been involved in countless weird cases over the years, even if the probability of someone being the murderer is 90.00%, there is still a [-]% probability that he is not the murderer.

Yu Xiaocheng is different from the general suspects, he is very fragile mentally, he has been hit one after another, but he still persists, maybe in the next moment, he will fall down and never get up again.

Just because of this [-]% probability, Mingshu is unwilling to accidentally injure such a fragile but not yet fallen person.

"Master, didn't you say that the suspect must be unscrupulous?" Fang Yuanhang said: "Investigating cases is not a child's play, and the suspect must not be pitied."

"Everything has special circumstances." Taking advantage of Xiao Yu'an's absence, Ming Shu smoked with Fang Yuanhang on the terrace.

Cigarettes can indeed relieve fatigue. After one cigarette was burned out, Mingshu shook his head and became more awake. "I'll go to Ninth Middle School again."

Key high schools like Ninth Middle School are most afraid of vicious incidents on campus.If bullying and violence are placed in other schools with less influence, they can be turned into small things, but not in the Ninth Middle School. It has been paid attention to for a long time, and any flaw may be magnified.The police came to No. [-] Middle School this time to investigate the students and search the art building. The senior management of the school was very nervous, and even the vice principal went to the city to "greeting" and hoped that the police would "stop it."

But this matter is by no means a "greeting" that can be resolved. The serious crime team investigates the case, and most departments have to give the green light.

Fortunately, the old campus of No. [-] Middle School only has the third grade left, and the art building is far away from the special building for the third grade, so it hasn't caused too much impact for the time being.

Standing in the corridor on the fifth floor of the art building, Mingshu felt a heavy gloom.

Long Tianhao had already been sent home due to insufficient evidence, and immediately started live streaming.

For the first time, Xiao Yuan's office was filled with intense game sound effects, and Long Tianhao's live broadcast was played on the computer screen.

There were not many people in Long Tianhao's room, so he couldn't be ranked on the popularity list.Xiao Yu'an took a closer look, and found that this had nothing to do with Long Tianhao's operation, it was mainly because Long Tianhao rarely spoke during the live broadcast, and kept fighting silently throughout the live broadcast.

This is not like the behavior of a contracted anchor.

In a live broadcast in June, Long Tianhao talked a little more.According to the time, it was Long Tianhao's birthday, and many fans from his professional career came to the room.

"I've been practicing guzheng recently, didn't you expect that?" Long Tianhao's tone was more relaxed than usual, and he could tell the joy when he listened carefully. When a fan asked him why he spent less time online than before, he patiently explained: "I'm Guzheng. Layman, I didn’t understand the first class, and I don’t know how to practice when I come back, so I can only take some time out of the game.”

Fans asked: "Why did you suddenly practice guzheng? I can't imagine it."

Long Tianhao didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "Is there anything I can't imagine. You Brother Long is very good. When you finish playing in the future, I will show you a hand."

The fans laughed: "Then practice every day, don't play games for now!"

"It won't work, games are the most important thing." Long Tianhao said: "The teachers I met are very nice, gentle and patient, and they teach well. I just need to squeeze in time to practice every day, and it should be effective."

Someone asked in the barrage: "Effective?"

But maybe no one saw this barrage, and more people said: "Brother Long is going to fall in love? Who is the gentle and patient beauty?"

Long Tianhao said happily, "What are you talking nonsense, he is my teacher."

Before the live broadcast ended, Long Tianhao said something seemingly inexplicable, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back!"

return?

Back to where?

Xiao Yu'an recalled Long Tianhao's evaluation of Sha Chun in the inquiry room - the teaching was average.

These are clearly two contradictory evaluations.

After this live broadcast, Long Tianhao would occasionally mention that he was practicing guzheng, but his tone became worse and worse. Later, if a fan asked, "Is Brother Long still practicing guzheng?", Long Tianhao would directly shut the other party down. Mouth.

For this reason, Long Tianhao was reported and his live broadcast points were deducted for this reason.

Now, no one watching Long Tianhao's live broadcast would ask him about the guzheng.

Xiao Yu'an went to the crime team, just as Fang Yuanhang rushed into the office, "Ah! Monkey—"

Xiao Yu'an: "Huh?"

Fang Yuanhang wanted to strangle himself, so he changed his words urgently, "Ju Xiao, you came to see my master? He just went to the Ninth Middle School."

"If you don't look for him, it's fine if you're here." Xiao Yu'an said, "Check out Long Tianhao's medical treatment in the last year."

"See a doctor?" Fang Yuanhang thought, why does this involve seeing a doctor?

"Long Tianhao is likely to be forced to retire due to an injury to his left hand. He still wants to return to the battlefield, and he is not willing to be a game anchor." Xiao Yuan said: "This job is just for him to make ends meet, and he has been working hard. He treats hand injuries, thinking that practicing guzheng can promote the recovery of his left hand.”

"He has no common sense." Xing Mu happened to be there too.Forensic Doctor Xing hates the leaders, but he is very brave to correct the medical mistakes that come out from the mouths of the leaders. "The hands of e-sports players have to bear a very heavy burden. Many players have hand diseases, some of which can be solved by surgery, and some It can only be treated conservatively, but no matter what the situation is, playing the guzheng is useless. In essence, playing the guzheng is also a waste of hands, and relying on practicing guzheng to treat injured hands is definitely counterproductive."

Fang Yuanhang really wanted to say to Xing Mu, Mr. Xing, who are you pissing off, the leader of our leader?

Xiao Yu'an didn't feel offended, and said with a smile: "That's the reason. Long Tianhao went to 'Jianjia Bailu' to report to the class. Maybe he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but it is also possible that someone instigated him to learn from Sha Chun."

Fang Yuanhang was very clever, and immediately understood, "This person may want to harm Long Tianhao, or he may just want Long Tianhao to get in touch with Sha Chun!"

"Wait, wait!" Xing Mu said impassionedly just now, but now he was confused, "What does it mean to let Long Tianhao and Sha Chun get in touch?"

Xiao Yu'an had faintly had a new idea, but there was no need to say it out for the time being, so he said to Xing Mu, "Teacher Xing."

Xing Mu quickly stood up straight, his handsome face flushed.

Most of the people in the serious crime team called him Mr. Xing, and Mingshu called him Brother Xing. He was used to both of these names, but he was still very embarrassed and nervous when Xiao Yuan called him that.

"Here!" Xing Mu said.

Fang Yuanhang didn't hold back, "Poof—"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Teacher Xing, go follow this clue and find out about Long Tianhao's medical treatment."

"I didn't expect this kind of place to exist in the school." Xu Chun ran to Mingshu, "It's too gloomy, and I don't know what this building was used for before. My mother has died recently. Kind of hell."

Ming Shu said, "The fourth medical alley?"

"That's right!" Xu Chun shook his head, "Have you been to Yisi Alley? Once I stopped there, I got goosebumps, and Xiao Man even told me to take an evidence bag to fill the soil."

The detective's feeling is a very mysterious thing, you can say it implies something, or you can say it is nothing.

Mingshu thought about it, and there might not be any relationship between Yisi Alley and the Art Building of Ninth Middle School, but the Art Building is deserted like this, maybe there is indeed a reason that is not yet known to the police.

The No. [-] Middle School refurbished the campus for the basketball game, and the only thing they didn't pay attention to was the art building.

Among the students, only Yu Xiaocheng knew this.Because the current batch of high school seniors enrolled two years ago, the renovation of the campus took place before their enrollment.

There are more and more doubts, but the clues seem to be getting clearer and clearer. Mingshu said: "Go down and have a look."

There was no cordon outside the art building, but many students knew that the police were searching around the building. Some students watched from a distance, but no one approached.

Mingshu looked at those students and heard the phone ringing.

"Ming team, a pair of severed hands were found in the air-conditioning box of the dance studio on the second floor!"
