Madness of the Heart

"Wu Zhen went to Shanxiang Street and Suzheng Street many times before and after the Spring Festival. Huang Mouquan disappeared strangely during the Spring Festival. There was no trace of himself at home, but Wu Zhen's footprint." Mingshu received Xiao Yuan at the corner of Shanxiang Street. , the two walked towards Kanzi Nine Alley together in the night, "Huang Mouquan is most likely the 'professor' who found him a scapegoat. Brother, I said that I based my inferences on clues, and you can bring up any contradictions."

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Yes."

"Wu Zhen committed suicide by taking sodium cyanide. Sha Chun did not do it himself. He may not have even witnessed the whole process of Wu Zhen's death. He just hid Wu Zhen's body with cement. It is very likely that Wu Zhen did not kill him himself. He was a 'domino' before he died, but he helped dispose of and hid the corpse." Ming Shu said: "Huang Mouquan is the substitute chosen by the 'Professor' for himself, and the 'Professor' wants to convince Wu Zhen that the corpse in front of him is The 'Professor' himself. It can be seen from the later development that Wu Zhen really believes in it. To do this, the 'Professor' can only kill Huang Mouquan in advance and dress him up as himself. Then, Wu Zhen According to the previous agreement between the two, Zhen went to a certain place to dispose of the corpse. This can explain why the Huang family has only Wu Zhen's footprints - after killing Huang Mouquan, the "professor" has already sent himself and Huang Mouquan All traces have been removed."

"Two questions." Xiao Yu'an said, "Is 'Professor' similar to Huang Mouquan? Why did 'Professor' choose to work in Huang's house?"

Mingshu said: "It doesn't have to be very similar, as long as the 'professor' has similar body, face, and hairstyle to Huang Mouquan, and then through disguise, it can completely achieve the effect of being fake. More importantly, Wu Zhen must have been very nervous at the time. When people are extremely nervous, their resolution and concentration will decrease. Another point, would Wu Zhen be willing to seriously look at the face of a dead person?"

Xiao Yuan stopped in the alley, "The faces may not necessarily be similar, but the body shape and age should be similar. If so, can Huang Mouquan be used as the prototype, and in the University of Medical Sciences, Guangye Hospital, Jiulin Psychological Clinic and nearby Do an investigation?"

Mingshu lowered his head and didn't speak for about half a minute.

"The facial features of Huang Mouquan and the 'Professor' may also be completely different." Xiao Yu'an said again: "Suppose the 'Professor' has an agreement with Wu Zhen, such as telling Wu Zhen in advance that he is a loser and has no face to see his parents— - The reason can be made up by him, Wu Zhen has been bewitched by him to join this death game, so he will naturally believe his words of 'no face to see his family'."

Ming Shu said: "Then what the 'Professor' conveyed to Wu Zhen was that he was going to commit suicide at Building 4-4, Building 1, Kanzi Nine Lane. The suicide was probably sodium cyanide. Before death, the 'Professor' would My own face was covered, and Wu Zhen was not allowed to uncover it. Wu Zhen went to the vicinity of Shanxiang Street many times, just to get familiar with the route and handle the corpse."

Ming Shu was silent for a few seconds after finishing speaking, then shook his head, "But Wu Zhen didn't suspect why the 'professor' died in such a place? And I can't figure out why the Huang family was the first scene, committing crimes here, and then It is too risky for Wu Zhen to take away the corpse for disposal."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Since the 'professor' chose this way, it means that it is easier for him to do it at Huang Mouquan's house."

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yu'an's gaze and thought about the reason.

"There are no large areas of invisible blood in the room, and there are no traces of fighting - the latter may have been there, but they were disposed of, but I don't think they fought." Xiao Yuan looked up at the dark building, "The people here The sound insulation conditions are very bad, if there is a fight in any household, most of the neighbors can hear it, even during the Spring Festival.”

"The door lock was not broken, so the 'Professor' knocked on the door and entered Huang's house?" Mingshu said, "That's not right..."

Xiao Yuan asked: "What do you think is wrong?"

"Huang Mouquan is the 'Professor' locked double, isn't that right?" Ming Shu said: "He is the most suitable person that the 'Professor' found after searching for a long time in Dongye City. But the 'Professor' knows him, he I don't know 'Professor'. Why did he invite 'Professor' to his home?"

"How can you be sure that Huang Mouquan doesn't know 'Professor'?" Xiao Yu'an raised his eyebrows halfway, "There are eight bowls and bowls in the refrigerator, and people who are thrifty will keep the unfinished meals and wait for the next meal." eat, but are eight bowls and alms bowls too much for a person living alone?"

Mingshu realized immediately, "That's not Huang Mouquan's leftovers, but dishes prepared in advance for entertaining guests?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "The 'Professor' is this guest. Not only do they know each other, but they can have dinner together during the Spring Festival. So for the 'Professor', it is more convenient for the 'Professor' to do something to Huang Mouquan at Huang's house than somewhere outside." It's convenient, anyway, Wu Zhen will take care of him."

Ming Shu clenched his right fist and hit the palm of his left hand hard, "Then Huang Mouquan's interpersonal relationship is interesting!"

Huang Mouquan, 53 years old, is from Hulu Town, Dongye City. He divorced his wife more than ten years ago and came to Dongye City. He lived in a house bought by his late daughter Huang Dongyan at a low price during his lifetime.

Huang Mouquan's ex-wife Kang Guohua still lives in Hulu Town with her husband Zhu Qiang.

Compared with Huang Mouquan's residence in Dongye City, Kang Guohua's home is much more spacious, and the state is not comparable to that of a fifty-year-old man who is struggling to make a living in a big city.

Knowing that Huang Mouquan had been missing for half a year, Kang Guohua's reaction was very flat, "It's nothing to do with me. Huang Mouquan and I have been divorced for many years. I have a new family, and I have broken up with him long ago. Contact, if you come all the way to check on me, you might as well check on his current friends."

Xu Chun said: "You misunderstood. I'm not here to investigate you. I just want to know about Huang Mouquan from you. After all, you are his ex-wife. The information you provide will help us solve the case."

Kang Guohua shook his head, "All I know is Huang Mouquan from more than ten years ago. After so many years, I don't even remember what he looks like. You should really go find his friends in the city."

"But as far as I know, Huang Mouquan has no friends." Xu Chun said.

Kang Guohua opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Huang Mouquan has been missing for half a year, and no one called the police for him." Xu Chun said, "The clues around him are really limited, so I have no choice but to disturb you."

Kang Guohua touched his fingers together and said in a low voice, "How could this happen?"

"You think it's strange that he has no friends in Dongye City?" Xu Chun asked.

Kang Guohua hesitated for a while, "Huang Mouquan is a person with a very good personality. If others treat him well, he will return [-]% to others. Before we divorced, he had many friends in the county. I didn't expect... "

Xu Chun said: "Mind if I ask, what is the reason for your divorce?"

About time has healed the pain, and Kang Guohua didn't have much sadness on her face. A few minutes later, she sighed deeply, "Because of our daughter."

Kang Guohua and Huang Mouquan's daughter, Huang Dongyan, left her hometown at the age of 16 to work in Dongye City.

Dongye City is the closest big city to Hulu Town. Huang Dongyan chose Dongye City not because of the proximity, but because she romantically believed that there was a word "Dong" in her name, which was her fate with Dongye City. .

But the romantic girl did not reap romance in Dongye City.She has no education, and it is not easy to find a job in a big city. She has been working diligently. At that time, the housing prices in Dongye City had not skyrocketed. When she was 20 years old, she used her savings and 5 yuan supported by her parents. Bought an old house at a low price from someone else.

That house is No. 4, 4-1, Kanzi Nine Lane.

In the same year, Huang Dongyan was robbed after leaving the night shift, stabbed nine times in her body, and died in an alley on Sanjie Street away from home.

The murderer was quickly caught. He was an old man who had just been released from prison. He went mad and killed people because he couldn't adapt to society after returning to society.

The old man was sentenced to death. In that era of underdeveloped Internet, he was quickly forgotten by people.

But the Huang family was destroyed.

At that time, Huang Mouquan and Kang Guohua were both 40 years old, and it was difficult for them to have children again.Kang Guohua washed his face with tears all day long, Huang Mouquan went to Dongye City many times, and proposed to leave Hulu Town and live in Dongye City.

"Are you crazy?" Kang Guohua asked, "We have been farming for half our life, how will we live in a big city?"

Huang Mouquan insisted on moving to Dongye, and insisted on living in the old house left by his daughter, saying that only in this way could he feel his daughter's presence.

Kang Guohua was helpless, and finally parted ways with Huang Mouquan.

"I don't know how he lived these years." Kang Guohua lowered his head, "But he has no friends, which I didn't expect."

Xu Chun came to Hulu County with the order of Mingshu. Although the experience of the Huang family was embarrassing, he had to continue to ask: "You said that before Huang Dongyan's accident, Huang Mouquan had a good personality and had many friends. Among my friends, is there anyone who came to Dongye City later?"

After talking about her daughter's experience, Kang Guohua's eyes turned red.

She thought for a long time, then nodded, "There are two people."

Cao Furen, 60 years old, moved his family to Dongye City 7 years ago, and currently runs a breakfast restaurant in Xicheng District.

Wang Zhong, 55 years old, his wife died of illness, was taken to Dongye City by his son and daughter-in-law three years ago to enjoy his old age.

"No." Mingshu said, "Neither of these two people can be 'professor'."

"You tell Xu Chun that it doesn't have to be limited to Huang Mouquan's old friends. Didn't Huang Mouquan's ex-wife say that Huang Mouquan is essentially a person who likes to make friends? In front of him, Huang Mouquan should treat him with courtesy." Xiao Yuan said: "Anyone who leaves Hulu Town and lives in Dongye City, around the age of 50 or [-], may be the person we are looking for."

Xu Chun and other field team members searched back and forth in Hulu Town, and finally handed over a list to Mingshu.

Including Cao Furen and Wang Zhong, a total of nine people from Hulu Town who meet the age and gender requirements are currently living in Dongye City.

On the other hand, Yi Fei found out from Guangye Hospital that a security guard named "Hao Lu" from Jiulin Psychological Clinic came to Dongye City a few years ago and is now 48 years old.

And among the nine people Xu Chun found, Hao Lu happened to be there!

Mingshu immediately ordered, "Find him immediately!"

There are many ginkgo trees in Guangye Hospital. In early autumn, some ginkgo leaves have turned yellow, and when the wind blows, they will rustle and fall.

This was originally a rare beauty, but the atmosphere in Jiulin Psychological Clinic was quite tense.

In the security rest room, two uncles in security uniforms looked at each other, and one of them said, "Hao, something happened to Hao Lu's family. Good morning, I asked for leave and went back. I was assigned to take over for him."

Yi Fei immediately asked, "Where does Hao Lu live?"

"It's right here, near here..."

Hao Lu rented in a community next to the University of Medical Sciences. The one-bedroom, one-living room was cleaned exceptionally clean, as if no one had ever lived there.

Mingshu crouched in the corner, pushed open the closet door, and picked up a piece of mahjong inside.

"Seven tubes?" Yi Fei said, "Hao Lu has a hobby of playing mahjong?"

Mingshu said: "Put mahjong together and then knock it down, what is it?"

"Isn't that just a simple domino?" Yi Fei gritted his teeth, "Hao Lu fled in fear of crime?"

The person in charge of Jiulin's logistics flipped through the work log and said, "Hao Lu asked for leave as soon as the medical university started. Look, September 9rd."

Mingshu took the work log, frowning tightly.

Sha Chun was killed in the early morning of August 8, three days after the police began investigating the case, and Hao Lu quietly left in early September, and his whereabouts are unknown now.

Xu Chun has confirmed that Hao Lu has never been married, his parents are dead, and he has no relatives in Hulu Town.

Why did Hao Lu leave suddenly?Is it because of knowing that the game of "dominos" has been lost?Or do you know that the police will find you one day, so you run away early?

It was undoubtedly a big blow that the suspect had finally been identified, but the suspect had left a long time ago.

Fang Yuanhang scolded "Fuck me" several times in a row, Mingshu gave him a look, "I have found a breakthrough, why are you so frustrated?"

"It's still a step late." Fang Yuanhang shook his head, "If we were faster, we would be able to arrest him for interrogation right now."

"We were not one step late, but many steps late." Ming Shu actually laughed, "He escaped on September 9rd, where did we find out then? No matter how fast we can stop him."

"but……"

"But what? Is it difficult to dig out the 'Professor' from the Sha Chun case, or is it difficult to find a missing security guard?"

Fang Yuanhang said: "Of course it is difficult to dig out the 'Professor', tsk, he hides too deep!"

"It's good to know." Mingshu patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Hao Lu left Jiulin on September 9, and it's hard to say if he's still in Dongye City now. You go to assist the technical investigation of Hao Lu's whereabouts after No. 3. At that time He hasn't been exposed yet, and he knows it himself, so he won't pay so much attention to monitoring."

After speaking, Mingshu saw a familiar figure.

Luo Yi.

Even in the face of a large number of policemen, Luo Yi still calmed down, nodded slightly, and walked into his office, seemingly indifferent to what happened here.

Yi Fei came over, "Does Luo Yi really have nothing to do with this case?"

Mingshu was silent for a while, "I'll go find Long Tianhao."

Long Tianhao looked at Hao Lu's photo, "This is not the person talking to me."

Mingshu said: "Look carefully."

"Really not!" After the Shachun case, Long Tianhao figured it out like Yu Xiaocheng, gave up torturing himself, admitted that he has no talent in e-sports, and is already seriously looking for a job.Mingshu saved his life, he is very grateful to Mingshu, and desperately hopes to find out the person who instigated him to go to "Jianjia Bailu" and do his part for Mingshu, so he said eagerly: "You have found the wrong person , I am not blind, definitely not this person."

"As we judged before, when we went to see Long Tianhao, the 'professor' was easy to look at, and he was wearing the clothes that scholars often wear." The progress of the investigation of the case has been gathered to Xiao Yu'an, and he looked at Mingshu: " Now I have another guess—Hao Lu may have committed suicide."

Mingshu's heart tightened, "Hao Lu's behavior of running away early shows that he thinks the police may find him in the future, and he doesn't want to pay the price for what he did. If he commits suicide, isn't it for his sake?" Was he responsible for the crime? Since he chose to die, why did he escape shortly after the Shachun case?"

"Let's see what kind of person Hao Lu is." Xiao Yu'an pointed out Hao Lu's photo, which was a work photo provided by Jiulin Psychological Clinic and was taken at the beginning of this year.

"In the early years, I worked as a farmer in Hulu Town, which is the same as Huang Mouquan. I went to Dongye City a few years ago. The exact year is yet to be investigated, and what I was doing before I worked as a security guard in Jiulin also remains to be investigated." Xiao Yuan said: "Since last year, no, it may have been earlier, he began to experiment on people who are 'hardworking but mediocre'. This year, the experiment succeeded once, but the second time it failed because of someone else's intervention. Such a madman, now Missing, the probability of escaping and committing suicide is actually half to half."

Mingshu thought for a long time, "I don't want him to commit suicide, I want to arrest him."

"I hope so too, but I have to bring up the worst possibility." Xiao Yu'an said.

Ming Shu walked behind Xiao Yu'an and looked at the screen, "What makes a farmer in his early years become a 'professor' who takes human life as an experiment as soon as he arrives in Dongye City?"

Xiao Yuan suddenly asked: "Is Xu Chun still in Hulu Town?"

Mingshu nodded, "Yes."

"The technical investigation has not yet tracked Hao Lu's whereabouts. He may still be hiding in a corner of Dongye City, or he may have already left." Xiao Yu'an said: "From the criminal's point of view, Hao Lu stayed in Dongye City. City, it is more likely to secretly observe the progress of the police investigation and then wait for an opportunity. But another possibility cannot be ruled out—he is no longer in Dongye City. If he is not in Dongye City, the most likely place he will go is where?"

"Going home? Hao Lu is in Hulu Town?" Ming Shu said, "But it's not like Xu Chun hasn't been to Hao Lu's previous home, it's already empty."

Xiao Yu'an said: "Of course Hao Lu won't let others find him. A person who has been away from his hometown for many years and encounters difficult problems outside, will he want to go back to his hometown to take a look?"

Mingshu substituted himself, "I might not want to."

"You haven't reached that age yet." Xiao Yu'an made a decision, "Go to Hulu Town yourself."

Mingshu raised his eyes, "Me?"

"Yes, you." Xiao Yuan had a special charm when he gave the order, "Maybe I misjudged, Hao Lu is not in Hulu Town, but Hao Lu's past is worth investigating. Why is he still single? Why did he leave Hulu Town? Becoming so crazy? Clarifying these questions, even if Hao Lu cannot be found in Hulu Town in the end, will definitely provide direction for the follow-up investigation."

Ming Shu stood there for a moment, his eyes were serious and bright, "Yes, Xiao Ju!"

After Mingshu left, Xiao Yu'an turned his gaze back to the monitor, and then called up the photo of Qin Guoxing, a suicide lecturer at the School of Pharmacy, University of Medical Sciences.

Looking closely at the facial features and face shapes of these two people, there are actually many similarities.
