Madness of the Heart

Major crimes unit, interrogation room.

Liu Mei lowered her head, medicine was applied to her swollen face, and those bruises were especially distinct under the light, making her look like a clown.

Fang Yuanhang looked at her from the opposite side.

This interrogation would not have taken place here.

A few hours ago, after Liu Mei was rushed to the hospital, her condition gradually stabilized.There was no fatal injury on her body. Fang Yuanhang observed it well. The injury was basically caused by whipping and slapping, and it was suspected to be caused by abuse in sexual relations.

The doctor advised Liu Mei to be hospitalized for observation, but Liu Mei cried and begged Fang Yuanhang to take herself to the police station after waking up.

"I can't stay here, he's going to kill me! Please lock me up in any police station! Sentence me, I'd rather go to jail!"

"I'm satisfied with you." Fang Yuanhang said: "You are safe now, but why have you kept silent? You still want to cover up the 'gold master' who made Zhou Qian disappear? If I'm not wrong, the things on you He was also responsible for the injury, right?"

Liu Mei raised her head, with tears rolling in her red eyes, "I said, I said... In fact, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Only when I am caught by your police can I escape from the clutches of my life."

Fang Yuanhang is most concerned about Zhou Qian. If Zhou Qian is still alive, Liu Mei must know where she is.

"Zhou Qian..."

However, when the name was spoken, the tears in Liu Mei's eyes immediately fell.

"She's dead."

Fang Yuanhang took a breath.

Zhou Qian was dead, this was the expected result.A person who has been missing for such a long time, excluding the possibility of active avoidance, is probably no longer in this world.

But Fang Yuanhang still felt regretful when Liu Mei confirmed Zhou Qian's death.

Liu Mei's voice was choked up, "Zhou Qian was played to death by Chu Can, I brought her to Chu Can, I am guilty... Originally, Sha Chun would be the next to die, but I didn't expect Sha Chun to have an accident suddenly. "

Chu Can, a name that is very unfamiliar to members of the serious crime team, but the surname "Chu" will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has been in Dongye City for a long time.

The top three richest people in Dongye City have the surname Chu.

Xinghuan Entertainment, where Liu Mei works, is an industry under Chu's name.

But if this Chu Can is really a certain son of the Chu Group, it would be too shabby——Baixuan Guiyuan in Dongye City is like a declining nobleman, who has no glory in the past, and has long been favored by the real powerful class. Abandoned, but Chu Can took that place as his and Liu Mei's comfort zone, did he look down on Liu Mei, or couldn't come up with a better place?

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Who is Chu Can? What is your relationship with Chu Can?"

"Chu Linxiong, do you know?" Liu Mei asked.

Fang Yuanhang said: "The boss of the Chu Group. Chu Can is his..."

Liu Mei nodded, "The illegitimate child."

The public is always interested in the private lives of the upper class figures. The affair of the big boss of the Chu family has attracted great attention in Dongye City, and almost everyone can talk about it.

Fang Yuanhang himself doesn't care, but it's not like he hasn't heard any gossip.

Liu Mei made a confession intermittently, and the interrogation room was always filled with sobbing.

Liu Mei did not study any books. When she was [-] or [-] years old, she was addicted to the Internet. She was attracted by the taste described in the book. She considered herself to be M's side, and conducted so-called "internet investigations" with many men on the Internet.Later, he was not satisfied with "online tuning" and began to try offline.

It was then that I met Chu Can.

The first few times they met, Chu Can was very gracious and gentle towards Liu Mei, and invited Liu Mei to Dongye City, promising to give her a bright job.

Born and raised in a small county town, Liu Mei lacked basic judgment and was easily bewitched by Chu Can. At the age of 20, she left her hometown and came to Dongye City to join Chu Can.

Chu Can kept his word and arranged Liu Mei in his family's entertainment company.

Liu Mei originally thought that she would enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life, but she did not expect to start a life of endless hell.

Chu Can's demeanor and gentleness are all disguises, and twisted, perverted, and crazy are the essence of this person.

Chu Linxiong has four famous male heirs, as well as countless illegitimate children raised outside.

Even among the illegitimate children, Chu Can was the one who received the least attention from Chu Linxiong, and was looked down upon by the Chu family for a long time.Chu Can's self-esteem and inferiority complex are extremely strong, and all the depression broke out on Liu Mei.

Liu Mei didn't like pain. She was addicted to whipping at first because she was young and ignorant and curious. At first, Chu Can treated her tenderly, thinking that the so-called sex was just like this. It wasn't until she was beaten viciously that she realized that she had been fooled.

But it was too late.

Chu Can has no status in the Chu family, but it is more than enough to take care of a girl from a small county town.Liu Mei is an elegant and beautiful model outside, but she is not as good as a dog in front of Chu Can.

Liu Mei once tried to commit suicide, but was brutally beaten after being rescued. Chu Can threatened her with relatives in her hometown, and if she refused to obey, she would kill her whole family.

Liu Mei has long realized the power of the Chu family, waiting for Chu Can to get tired of playing with her and let her go.

But when Chu Can was really tired of playing, she was pushed into a darker abyss.

Chu Can also caught up with the "ancient style craze" and asked Liu Mei to find and deceive pure classical beauties for him, promising that as long as ten classical beauties were deceived, Liu Mei would be set free.

And if Liu Mei can't find her, she will have to endure even more horrific abuse than before.

Liu Mei knew that once she helped Chu Can find innocent women, she would be implicated in the future.

But if he didn't do this, Chu Can would torture her to death.

Unable to bear the torture, Liu Mei once went to the campus to help Chu Can find girls, but the effect was not good.Last year, many training institutions under the banner of ancient style appeared in Dongye City.Liu Mei suddenly had an idea.

In those institutions, there must be women who can satisfy Chu Can!

Zhou Qian was the first woman Liu Mei cheated for Chu Can.

Zhou Qian's family situation is similar to Liu Mei's. She doesn't have much knowledge and is eager for money. She doesn't care about selling her body to a strange man for money.

It was the first time for Liu Mei to do this kind of thing, and she was inevitably afraid. Before she took the person to the place designated by Chu Can, she suddenly realized her conscience and told Zhou Qian that the "financial master" had "that aspect" of hobbies.

Zhou Qian couldn't listen anymore.

After delivering the people, Liu Mei left.She kept telling herself that it wasn't me who did the evil, I was also a victim, I had no choice, I was just an ant, if I didn't do what Chu Can said, my whole family and I would die.

Three days later, Liu Mei was called by Chu Can, and what she saw was Zhou Qian's body.

The pure classical beauty of the past was covered in scars, her body was ripped apart, and her face was so swollen that she could no longer see her true colors.

"You have a share too." Standing beside the corpse, Chu Can said sadly, "You brought this innocent girl to me, and you killed her!"

Liu Mei was so shocked that she shook her head blankly, "It's none of my business, I just..."

"I'm a mental patient." Chu Can's right hand was pistol-shaped, pointing at his temple, his face was tilted upwards, and his eyes were bulging horribly, "Dr. Luo can issue a certificate for me, and even the police can't do anything to me , but what about you? You are a normal person, you coaxed innocent girls into the bed of me, a mental patient, in order to please me!"

Liu Mei kept shaking her head, "No, no!"

"No?" Chu Can smiled ferociously, "Didn't you notice it when you came? The surveillance camera is facing your face!"

Liu Meiru was struck by lightning.

"But how could I harm you? My puppy." Chu Can's expression and tone suddenly changed, as if a soul had changed in his body, gentle and charming.

But Liu Mei had already felt this man's false tenderness, and seeing him looking at her affectionately, she felt even more terrifying.

"As long as you are obedient, I will protect you forever." Chu Can smiled and said, "Go ahead and continue to find a woman like Zhou Qian for me. She is delicious and I like it very much."

After Zhou Qian, Liu Mei could no longer find a qualified woman for Chu Can, and had to endure Chu Can's atrocities again and again.

Chu Can gave her an ultimatum, if she couldn't find any more "prey", he would play her to death.

In August of this year, Liu Mei took a fancy to Sha Chun in "Jianjia Bailu", and coaxed her many times, thinking that victory was just around the corner, but Sha Chun died suddenly.

After learning that Sha Chun was killed, Liu Mei's first reaction was that Chu Can did a "good thing".

Because just a few days before Sha Chun's accident, Liu Mei showed Chu Can a video of Sha Chun playing the guzheng. Chu Can was very satisfied and said that if he could win Sha Chun, one person would be worth three people's share.

"I swear, what I just said is not half a lie, I have the recording of the call with Chu Can." Liu Mei wiped away her tears, her face was still swollen, which made her look like a swollen face no matter what expression she made. Ridiculous and pitiful, "I'm sorry Zhou Qian, I'm responsible for Zhou Qian's death! I..."

Suddenly, Liu Mei covered her face, as if she couldn't continue.

Fang Yuanhang asked: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Mei tremblingly said: "I beg you to bring Chu Can to justice, can you do it?"

There seemed to be endless sorrow and despair in this voice.

At this point, Liu Mei's mind is still filled with hopeless conjectures - the Chu family can use money and power to settle everything, Chu Can is at large, and she is used as a scapegoat, her family is tortured by Chu Can, the worst The wicked walk in the sun, and the accomplices are cast into hell with everything on their backs.

Fang Yuanhang stood up with a dignified look, "You look down on yourself, and you look down on the police. In your eyes, as long as you have money, you can run rampant in society."

Liu Mei raised her head in a daze, "Isn't it?"

Fang Yuanhang sternly shouted: "Of course not!"

Liu Mei was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly, the laughter was extremely weird and painful, "If I had called the police early in the morning, wouldn't I have ended up like this?"

The interrogation video was directly transmitted to Xiao Yuan's office. Whether Liu Mei was acting or uttering the truth remains to be investigated. Xiao Yuan dragged the progress bar, stayed on one of the sections, and whispered to himself: "Doctor Luo? Luo Yi?"

Dongcheng District, Chunchao Shopping Center.

The Internet celebrity milk tea shop "Hua Rong" opened, young people who came to check in lined up in a serpentine line outside the door, and several "Hua Rong" girls held trays and invited customers to drink the shop's signature drinks.

Most of the girls were petite and nimbly shuttled in the team, but Wu Tong was a head taller than his companions, and was wearing high heels. Although his smile was sweet, his pace was a beat slower than others.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd. It was Wu Tong who overturned the tray, and the last small paper cup on the tray fell off, and the milk tea inside splashed on the guests' shoes.

The stains are actually not obvious. The guests are wearing leather shoes, so just wipe them with a damp paper towel.But this is the opening scene, and the clumsy girl really smeared the brand's face.

When such a thing happened, Wu Tong probably had to leave, and several other girls got together to take a look at Wu Tong, some sympathized, some gloated.

The guest whose shoes were stained was a lady in her 20s. She almost cried when she saw Wu Tong, and quickly said, "It's all right."Wu Tong wanted to squat down to clean her shoes, so she quickly took the paper and knelt down to wipe it by herself.

The store manager rushed over after hearing the sound, and hurriedly apologized to the customer, while Wu Tong stood aside, wiping tears pitifully.

The manager glared at Wu Tong and asked Wu Tong to go back to the store immediately and help prepare tea behind the bar.

Wu Tong bowed to the guests and trotted all the way, looking innocent and harmless from the back.

"Aren't you going to be fired?" A girl said, "Wu Tong has been clumsy for a day. He stained the guest's shoes today, so why don't you fire him? What does Brother Wang think?"

"You still don't understand? Brother Wang cherishes the fragrance and pity the jade. It's not because Wu Tong is a beautiful silly white sweet." Another girl said: "Wu Tong's appearance and personality are easy to make people soft-hearted, stupid and not sloppy." Yes, looking at you with big eyes, let alone, I can't bear to be angry with her."

"But she's stupid!"

"There are so many stupid people, but not many sweet ones."

"Is this all right?"

"Forget it, forget it, Brother Wang wants to keep her, what can we do? Don't talk about it, lest others say we are jealous. They grew up stupid and sweet, but we didn't grow stupid and sweet. When we think about it, others will see it. It’s because we have scheming.”

Wu Tong was sent to the bar to beat her up, but she didn't do anything, and was later called to distribute leaflets. Many male customers were attracted to the serpentine line by her sweet smile.

After changing shifts in the afternoon, Wu Tong put on his own clothes, and before he reached the door of the store, he heard someone calling his name.

Ming Shu held a glass of pink strawberry peaches, "Wu Tong."

The moment he saw Mingshu, Wu Tong's expression tightened suddenly.

From entering the store in the morning and starting to work until just now, she has always had a silly and cute expression on her face. When she smiles, it makes people sigh how beautiful and sweet, and when she is wronged, people can't bear to blame.

But the moment his eyes met Mingshu's, the cuteness disappeared, and what appeared in Wu Tong's eyes was the plain shock.

This subtle change cannot escape Mingshu's eyes.

"Working here now?" Ming Shu took two steps forward and looked at Wu Tong with a smile.

"Ah... are you here to look for me?" Wu Tong's eyes were wide open, and the bottom of them was clean and clear.

People say the eyes are the windows to the soul.

But the eyes may not necessarily reflect the soul - as long as you are good at disguising.

For a small studio like "Jianjia Bailu", the recruitment process rarely follows a formal process. Shi Hanshan has to personally inspect the positions of teachers and other positions.

Shi Hanshan himself forgot how Wu Tong was recruited, but after asking, he found out that he was a distant relative of his partner Liang Lu.

Although they are relatives in name, Liang Lu hardly knows Wu Tong.

"Their family is in the county, and they haven't been in contact for many years." Liang Lu said: "My mother called me after the Spring Festival this year, saying that a little girl is coming to Dongye City. If it is convenient, she can help find a job. Relatives, it’s not good if you don’t help at all. The last time I saw Wu Tong, she was only in elementary school, so I didn’t have much impression of her. When I first saw her, I found out that she was a beautiful girl. At that time, I was preparing a company with Hanshan, so I asked Wu Tong to be the receptionist. But her work is arranged by Han Shan, and I only care about the investment, not the operation."

Shi Hanshan offered Wu Tong a salary of about [-] yuan. For the receptionist, this salary is not low, but it is not much higher.

The consumption level in Dongye City is relatively high, and the rent is not cheap. Wu Tong shares an old community with a girl from a hair salon and a deputy manager of a nail salon.After losing the job of "Jianjia Bailu", Wu Tong received a sum of compensation, and relying on her innocent and pretty face, she quickly found a job in a milk tea shop.

Mingshu discovered that she might be the "blind spot" of "Jianjia Bailu".

In the early investigation, it is not that the field office did not investigate Wu Tong, but the investigation was not in-depth. At that time, the motive of the murderer had not yet been ascertained. Wu Tong, a silly girl, no one would think that she had anything to do with Sha Chun's death. .

Even now, Mingshu doesn't know what her motive is.

But the look just now had to make Mingshu suspect that the naivety and stupidity might just be Wu Tong's disguise.

"Have you not solved the case yet?" Wu Tong said, "But I don't know anything."

"Do you mind if I come to your house?" Mingshu said.

"Ah..." Wu Tong blushed suddenly, and said coquettishly, "You're a man."

Mingshu squinted his eyes, and his attitude was a bit stern, "The investigation does not distinguish between genders."

Wu Tong showed a frightened look, reluctantly said: "Then, then... okay."

The place Wu Tong rents is very close to "Jianjia Bailu", only two roads away, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk.

There is no elevator in the old house, and the corridors are a little dark. Mingshu followed Wu Tong and noticed something unusual.

Whether in the descriptions of the people in "Jianjia Bailu" or the first time he saw "Jianjia Bailu" with his own eyes, Wu Tong is a girl who talks a lot and loves to laugh. But along the way, Wu Tong rarely took the initiative to speak. His mind was distracted, and his smile was a little stiff.

As if caught off guard, he was thinking about how to deal with it.

When opening the door, Wu Tong hesitated, Mingshu said, "What?"

Wu Tong quickly shook his head, "The house is quite messy, I'll go into the bedroom to change later, can you wait for me in the living room?"

Mingshu said, "You have to change into your pajamas as soon as you get home?"

"The pajamas should be more comfortable."

Just as he was talking, the door opened, and the sound of arguing came from inside. When he listened carefully, it was someone watching a miserable TV series on his mobile phone.

Meng Xue got up from the sofa and wanted to say hello to Wu Tong, but she covered her mouth in surprise when she saw Mingshu, "Tongtong, your boyfriend?"

"No!" Wu Tong quickly ran into a bedroom on the left, and said before closing the door, "Sit for a while."

It was inconvenient for Ming to follow in, so he looked around the living room.

Meng Xue is Wu Tong's roommate who does nail art, and she is at home on a shift. Another roommate, Li Tianyue, who works in a hair salon, is at work.

Mingshu didn't sit down, but walked to the balcony.

This is a set of three bedrooms and one living room with an open balcony. There are no plants and some sundries on the balcony.

Mingshu crouched in the corner, brushing his fingers over a stain on the wall.

The smudge looked like blood spattered from below.
