Madness of the Heart

After the Sha Chun case was solved, the serious crime team focused on the Wu Zhen case.

Previously, Xiao Man had confirmed that the sudden change in the handwriting on Wu Zhen's notebook occurred in December last year.The change in handwriting directly indicated the change in mood. During this period of time, Wu Zhen must have suffered a great mental shock.

The "mysterious man" hiding in the dark, the "university teacher" Long Tianhao said was likely to approach and instigate Wu Zhen at this time.

And judging from the "mysterious man"'s very random selection of "targets" for Sha Chun, Wu Zhen was not his only "target" at that time, he must have contacted many people, and Wu Zhen was the one who developed the most suitable for him. The desired "seed".

Wu Zhen killed a hard-working but ordinary person, then approached Sha Chun and other "seeds", and finally passed the baton to Sha Chun, asking Sha Chun to help him "suicide".

So who would Wu Zhen kill?

"Sha Chun's death and Yu Xiaocheng's refusal at the last moment have shown that although this kind of death inheritance is feasible in theory, it is very unlikely to be feasible in reality. The inheritance between Wu Zhen and Sha Chun is considered a success, but Wu Zhen The inheritance with the previous victim was also successful?" Ming Shu said.

Yi Fei turned his pen, "One possibility is that Wu Zhen is No.1, and the other possibility is that there is another victim in front of Wu Zhen. Director Xiao seems to favor the former. But no matter what the possibility is, there is no definite answer. evidence."

Ming Shu frowned, "The former is actually more complicated. For the latter, if Wu Zhen commits the crime, it will be between December last year and April this year."

"Wait!" Fang Yuanhang said, "Shouldn't it be between December last year and June this year?"

Mingshu shook his head, "Wu Zhen started to attend classes at Jianjia Bailu in April. Using the situation of the Sha Chun case in reverse, it was the 'mysterious man' behind the scenes who discovered Sha Chun's 'target', so he led Wu Zhen to 'Jianjia Bailu', isn't that a problem?"

Fang Yuanhang immediately reacted, "I understand! The 'mysterious man' will only choose a 'target' for Wu Zhen after confirming that Wu Zhen committed the crime, at least after confirming that Wu Zhen is about to commit the crime, otherwise it will be a waste of effort. Wu Zhen 4 Yue is already in class at 'Jianjia Bailu', so the time of committing the crime must be before April."

"Well, so besides investigating Wu Zhen's whereabouts in December last year, there are still a few directions for investigation." Ming Shu walked around the conference table, "First, the people who disappeared between December last year and April this year are still There are murder cases that were not solved by various branches; second, the people Wu Zhen contacted from April this year until his death-this line is actually easy to find a breakthrough point. Wu Zhen is a screenwriter who has lived in the company for a long time. He spends all his time on writing, and his social circle is extremely narrow, so he suddenly goes out frequently and contacts many people, which is abnormal; the third is Dongye Medical University."

Yi Fei went on to say: "The initial survey of the University of Medical Sciences was not ideal. Among the students and faculty members we asked, no one had an impression of the portrait provided by Long Tianhao. The campus surveillance failed to capture similar people."

"This person is familiar with the University of Medical Sciences, so it's not difficult to avoid the camera." Ming Shu said, "But after the portrait was completed, Long Tianhao didn't confirm it. his memory."

Yi Fei rubbed his chin, "The people who asked me didn't have any impression... That is to say, this person was easily overwhelmed when facing Long Tianhao. And it was a one-time disguise, and he never used the same makeup again. Actually When he came into contact with Long Tianhao last night, someone on campus had actually seen him, but this time, the impression was too shallow to remember, or maybe our preliminary research has not found those who have seen him."

Mingshu thought for a while, "If you change your face, Luo Yi from Lin Jiu Psychological Clinic can actually do it."

"I also doubt Luo Yi." Yi Fei said: "I feel that he is unpredictable and unpredictable. When facing the police, he is not nervous at all, and that state does not look like a disguise. "

"Luo Yi is Chu Can's psychiatrist." Fang Yuanhang said: "Chu Can insists that he is using himself to get close to the Chu family. The water in the Chu family is so deep. Luo Yi really wants to go to the Chu family to do something as Chu Can said. , should not have the energy to play the game of 'dominos' again?"

"Luo Yi is very rational, but the person behind this case is crazy. In this sense, Luo Yi seems to be unsuspecting." Yi Fei put down his pen, "But I still can't let Luo Yi go."

Speaking of Chu Can, Mingshu thought of Zhou Qian.

Chu Can has now pleaded guilty, and there are all witnesses and material evidence, Chu Can is indeed the murderer who tortured and killed Zhou Qian.

Chu Can said that Zhou Qian was burned in a boiler factory in the suburbs outside Nancheng District, and now Zhou Qian has no bones or traces left.

This is similar to the woman Xu Yin mentioned.

"Ming team?" Yi Fei called out.

Mingshu came back to his senses, "I'll keep an eye on Luo Yi, and first investigate according to the three conventional ideas I proposed. The Sha Chun case has been clearly investigated, so please persevere. Once this case is solved, I will apply to Bureau Xiao." , give everyone a few days off."

Whether to enter the serious crime team is actually a two-way choice. The serious crime team values ​​ability most, but not everyone with ability is willing to join the serious crime team.

The reason is simple, the crime team is too busy, and the pressure is overwhelming.

If you don't have the consciousness to bear hardships and stand hard work, no matter how capable you are, you will not choose the serious crime team.Occasionally, someone came in with the mentality of giving it a try. After a tough battle, they felt that it was too much to bear, so they withdrew.

Those who are still in the serious crime team are all very determined members with a strong sense of mission and honor. Even if there is no guarantee that the case will be released after the case is solved, they will face the difficulties and charge forward.

But Mingshu is the captain after all, and Xing Mu has always been called "leader to lead" for several years, so he still has the pleasure of cheering up the team members.

After the meeting, Xu Chun stopped Mingshu.

Mingshu knew at a guess that what Xu Chun wanted to tell him was about Xiao Chun.

"There is no family surnamed Xiao in Hongning Village, nor has a four-year-old girl named 'Xiao Chun' been lost. Xiao Chun said her parents were named Xiao Hu and Long Lianglian, but these two people did not exist at all." Xu Chun said: "On the matter of his life experience, Xiao Chun is lying."

Mingshu had already anticipated this possibility.Because Xiao Chun remembers his birthday, every word of his name, the names of his parents, and his hometown, he expressed an urgent desire to see his biological parents.

That being the case, why didn't Xiao Chun go find it by himself?

Xiao Chun is carrying a murder case on his body, and his psychology is extremely twisted. It is understandable that he dare not recognize his parents, but since he misses him so much, it is not that he has no clues to look for. It is always possible to meet secretly, right?

However, after Xiao Chun left Wancui Village, he went to Dongye City and did not make any effort to find his parents. In the end, he hoped that the police would help him find his parents. This is logically far-fetched.

"The previous household registration was the biggest confusion. Xiao Chun—let's call her Xiao Chun for the time being. She was stolen to Wancui Village when she was about four years old. Now the parties Wu Shoulian and Wang Aixia are dead. Unless Xiao Chun tells The truth, otherwise we have no way to determine her true identity." Xu Chun scratched her hair, "I can't figure it out."

Mingshu raised his hand, "Huh?"

"Why do you think Xiao Chun told this lie?" Xu Chun said: "I was distracted during the meeting just now, wondering what the purpose of her lying was? To tease us? She killed three people, and the chain of evidence is complete. There is no way for this lie to reduce her sentence. She did something that is not good for her or us, it is too weird. "

Mingshu looked down at the notebook in his hand and was silent for a while, "Maybe she didn't mean to lie to us."

Xu Chun shook his head, "Cheating is cheating, whether it's intentional or not?"

"Xiao Chun was stolen at the age of four. Children at this age usually don't have such a clear memory, but she remembers her hometown and the names of her parents very clearly." Mingshu said: "There is a possibility—in fact, Xiao Chun She just can’t remember her name and where she came from, didn’t she say that sometimes she feels that she is the real Wu Tong.”

"Then she..."

"She forgot who she was and comforted herself by imagining that she had a name, parents, and hometown."

trial room.

After learning that the police did not find his biological parents, Xiao Chun's expression was first disappointed, then slightly angry, then startled, lowered his eyes and shook his head.

"Xiao Chun is not your real name." Mingshu said: "Hongning Village is not your hometown, and Xiao Hu and Long Lianglian are not your parents. They are all your imagination, right?"

After a long time, Xiao Chun nodded, "I'm sorry, sometimes I can't distinguish between reality and illusion. I just remember that there seems to be a word 'chun' in my name, and my mother often calls me 'chunchun'... I don't know exactly Is it pure and pure, maybe it’s the mellowness, maybe it’s something else, maybe I’ve even misremembered the sound..."

After a pause, Xiao Chun took a long breath, "I'm a real black family, I have no origin and no destination. My real parents can't find me, and I can't remember them either."

Finding relatives for a murderer who killed three people is not the responsibility of the serious crimes team, and Ming Shu has no time to accompany Xiao Chun in grief, but facing such a hateful and pathetic person, Ming Shu did not leave immediately.

"I thought you wouldn't help me with this." Xiao Chun suddenly smiled and said, "I'm a murderer. I killed more than one person. Your mission is to catch me. Whether you can find my parents or not is very important to you." It's not important at all, but you still helped me find it, although...although it was just a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain."

Mingshu said, "What do you want to say?"

"The result is not important, just forget it if you can't find it, at least you have looked for it." Xiao Chun said: "Thank you for helping me. In return, I would also like to do you a favor."

Mingshu said, "About Wu Zhen?"

Xiao Chun said, "Yes."

The camera was facing Xiao Chun, recording what Xiao Chun said and the way he spoke.

"After hiding the monitor in Sha Chun's classroom, I knew the secret between Wu Zhen and Sha Chun. I was familiar with Sha Chun, and knew that she was from the Performing Arts Group. But Wu Zhen, I hardly knew it at the time." Xiao Chun said: "The first time I learned that Wu Zhen wanted Sha Chun to kill me, to be honest, I was still very surprised. I killed Wu Shoulian and Wang Aixia because they deserved to die, and I avenged myself. But what was Wu Zhen trying to do? Is it crazy for someone else to kill you and pass the baton of death one by one?"

Mingshu said: "So you have developed a strong interest in Wu Zhen, who you don't know yet, and you want to know him?"

"Yes." Xiao Chun said: "At that time, I only knew that Wu Zhen was a screenwriter, and I didn't know anything else, so I checked him and followed him."

Mingshu's eyes gradually became dark.

It is not easy to find out who a person met half a year ago and what he said. Now that Wu Zhen and Sha Chun are both dead, the information that Xiao Chun has may play a key role in solving the case.

Xiao Chun stopped and said suddenly: "I don't know if you will believe me. I tell you, it's not to win the goodwill of your police, but you have helped me with your heart. I have revenge for revenge, and I don't want to owe you something."

Mingshu looked directly into her eyes, "Just tell the truth."

Xiao Chun nodded, "I found that Wu Zhen is actually a person who can speak well, not as dull as his appearance. He met Sha Chun in 'Jianjia Bailu', and he also met other people in other places."

Mingshu asked: "What do 'elsewhere' and 'other people' mean?"

Xiao Chun said: "A female student at Dongye Medical University, a sophomore, should be promoted to a junior now, majoring in journalism, surnamed Wang, I don't know the exact name."

Mingshu raised his eyebrows, "Journalism major? Journalism major in Medical University?"

"It's the journalism major." Xiao Chun said, "I also find it very strange that there is a journalism major in a school full of medical students."

That's not what Mingshu cares about.

Xiao Chun doesn't understand the current situation of domestic colleges and universities, but he has a general understanding.

In universities with strong professionalism, those majors that don't seem to exist are mostly tasteless majors of the school. Most of the students are not admitted to the majors they want and are transferred there.

The Journalism major in the University of Medical Sciences fits this feature. The female student surnamed Wang probably filled in a better major, but was assigned to the Journalism major because of insufficient scores.

Compared with other people in the same school, she may fall into a state of mind similar to Wu Zhen and Sha Chun, so she becomes the "target" chosen by the "mysterious man" for Wu Zhen.

After clarifying this point, Ming Shu said, "Besides this classmate Wang, who else has Wu Zhen met?"

"I know the name of the employee of 'Jiajiamei', Luo Ganfeng." Xiao Chun said.

Mingshu asked: "Where is 'Jiajiamei'?"

"Jiajiamei" is a nationwide housing agency company, with at least a dozen of them in Dongye City.

Xiao Chun said, "It's the one on Caiye Street."

Mingshu immediately thought of an important turning point—last year, after years of hard work and no gains, Wu Zhen transformed and no longer wrote film and television scripts, but specialized in government and corporate propaganda short plays.

Many promotional short dramas require the screenwriter to be present so that they can revise the script while filming. The screenwriter should also be present during the initial communication. Wu Zhenren came into contact with Luo Ganfeng and Wang's classmate, probably through work.

Can the "mysterious man" even affect Wu Zhen's work?

"That's all I can think of." Xiao Chun hesitated, "If you want to believe me as a murderer, then go and check it out. If you don't believe me, just treat what I said as nonsense."

"Wait a minute, I have another question." Mingshu said, "Did Wu Zhen mention the origin of sodium cyanide?"

Xiao Chun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Okay." Mingshu stood up, "Thank you for the clues you provided."

Xiao Chun opened his mouth and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect someone to thank me now."

After leaving the interrogation room, Mingshu made some adjustments to the investigation. He sent a group of people to the University of Medical Sciences to find a third-year girl surnamed Wang, while he himself went to "Jiajiamei" on Caiye Street.

"Are you looking for Luo Ganfeng?" The store manager is also surnamed Luo, "He resigned in May this year."

There is Luo Ganfeng's contact number and address in the employee file, and Mingshu writes it down and asks, "Why did Luo Ganfeng resign?"

"This..." Manager Luo seemed reluctant to say it.

Mingshu noticed the photos on the commendation wall. Among the star employees in the first quarter of this year was Luo Ganfeng.

"Isn't it because the performance is not up to standard?" Mingshu turned around and asked.

Manager Luo sighed, "If Ronaldinho doesn't meet the standard, then most of us here don't even want to meet the standard. He just has too high demands on himself and competes too much with himself!"

Once the chatterbox is opened, it will be easy to chat later.

Mingshu said: "Isn't such an employee your middle management's dream?"

"Personally, I still admire him very much, but he tried too hard." Manager Luo said: "Business in our area is not easy to do. Ronaldinho worked hard, and the performance was just like that. I talked to him many times. Let him relax and relax, he promised well, but in fact he still feels useless."

Mingshu murmured softly: "I feel useless..."

This can be classified with Wu Zhen and Sha Chun.

"In order to make him feel at ease, I specially entrusted him with the task of making a promotional video." Manager Luo said, "But for some reason, after he finished filming the promotional video, he became even more depressed and resigned not long after. .”

Mingshu immediately asked: "Who is Party B?"

Manager Luo didn't know, so he went through the work records for a long time, "It's a company called 'Liuguang'."

Mingshu saw from the information provided by Manager Luo that the screenwriter who was connected with Luo Ganfeng was Wu Zhen.

Mingshu immediately contacted Luo Ganfeng, but his phone number was already empty.But Fang Yuanhang rushed to Luo Ganfeng's house and learned from the landlord that he had moved out in the first half of the year without even saying hello, and somehow disappeared without even asking for the rent and deposit for the next two months.

Almost at the same time, the team members who went to the University of Medical Sciences to investigate found the only female student surnamed Wang in the journalism major, Wang Ying.

"I know Teacher Wu." Facing the police, Wang Ying dodged a little, "I was the deputy director of the external relations department of the college when I was a sophomore. At that time, I wanted to make a short film reflecting campus life. I've been to Teacher Wu several times."

Judging from Wang Ying's reaction, she probably didn't know that Wu Zhen was dead.

Yi Fei asked: "What do you guys communicate with each other?"

"Communication...communication..." Wang Ying shouldn't be so hesitant to be promoted to the position of deputy director in the External Relations Department, "We just chatted about scripts and so on. Our college is one of literature and journalism, and Teacher Wu is half the same." Let's go home."

Yi Fei observed Wang Ying for a while, and suddenly said, "It's more than that?"

Wang Ying almost never looked at Yi Fei, they kept their heads down, their eyes kept rolling, "Really."

Yi Fei has seen Wang Ying's grades and college entrance examination results since she entered the school for more than two years. As Mingshu expected, she was indeed assigned to the journalism major. Journalism is the lowest graded major in this university.

But even in such a major, Wang Ying's grades are still not in the forefront, always hovering in the middle and lower reaches.

Yi Fei said: "Wu Zhen told you that if a person has no talent, he has nothing. The only effect of hard work is to make him lose more thoroughly."

Wang Ying suddenly raised her head, looked at Yi Fei in disbelief, moved her lips several times, and finally said: "You... how do you know?"

City Council.

Xu Yin "escaped" from the psychological research center again and ran to the serious crime team.

Xiao Yu'an stood in front of her, looking down at her.

Xu Yin took two steps back vigilantly, but did not avoid his gaze, "Who are you?"

Xiao Yu'an knew that she was the girl who loved the smell of dead bodies, but asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Yin swallowed immediately, and whispered, "I want to find Mingshu."

"Oh?" Xiao Yu'an was very patient, "Ming team is not here, what can you do with him?"

Xu Yin was stunned for a few seconds, "I want to ask him, did he find the dead sister?"
