Madness of the Heart

As soon as the door opened, a handsome man let out an exaggerated "Yo".

Mingshu dug out a pair of guest slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw it in front of the man, "What? Come in and close the door."

The man came in with a smile on his face, "Little brother, go out to pick up a customer, why don't you change your clothes and wash your face, and come out in a mess. Look at you, your hair is all curled up, your clothes are not neat, it's a mistake The way of hospitality..."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Mingshu left the person in the living room, and went into the bathroom to wash up. "Running to someone's house early in the morning, do you do this kind of guest? You treat yourself as a guest? Seeing that you are so idle, don't It's because you have a style problem, you were removed from your anti-narcotics team, right?"

"Get out of here." The man sat on the sofa unceremoniously, still smiling, and put the takeaway bag in his hand on the coffee table, "Xiao Yu'an has been working for a few hours, and it's still early in the morning for you? Is there still a jet lag in the house? I kindly gave you the 'Brother Brand' love meal, but you are so lucky to curse me to be expelled. You little brother, you are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

Mingshu leaned out half of his body from the bathroom, holding an electric toothbrush in his hand, "Did you call my brother?"

"Otherwise, how do I know that you white-eyed wolf hasn't woken up yet and hasn't had breakfast?" The man took out fish porridge, siu mai, and steamed cake one by one, "It's almost cold, wash it out and eat it."

When he came out of the bathroom, the top of Mingshu's hair was a little wet, and it could be seen that it had been stroked with water, but the originally curled hair was still curled up, which looked very funny.

The man grinned.

"Do you have so many funny things in a day? The boss is not young, and he is still the captain, so you can't learn from your two elder brothers and be more stable in life?" Ming Shu ate crayfish last night, and his stomach felt a little upset Comfortable, I don't want to eat siu mai, so I picked up a tasteless steamed cake, "You are in your team, and when you talk to the new team members, do you have such a playful smile?"

"I'm optimistic and open-minded." The man said.

"I think you are heartless and thick-skinned." Mingshu said: "Don't try to refute, I didn't say this, it was your brother who said it. If you want to beat or scold you, go to him."

Hearing the word "brother", the man suddenly sighed.

Mingshu raised his eyes, "Hey, the heartless and thick-skinned Captain Xiao has something on his mind?"

The man didn't refute this time.

Ming Shu bit the steamed cake, "Speaking of it, let me be happy."

"There's a family conflict," the man said.

Mingshu heard something was wrong, and asked: "It has something to do with Brother Mu Ting? What's going on?"

"What else can happen." The man said, "My brother has returned to the special forces, you know that."

Mingshu put down his chopsticks.

The man said: "Go ahead and eat."

"He almost lost his life last time. After several years of raising him, he finally recovered." Mingshu said, "If he returned to the special forces just to train recruits, it would be nothing."

"He's going to go abroad to perform a mission soon." The man shook his head, "Xiao Yu'an and I can understand it, but the old man can't accept it."

Mingshu was silent for a while, "I understand the old man."

The man's eyes changed slightly.

Ming Shu said: "Master, you and Brother Mu Ting are the two sons. You are an anti-drug special police officer, and Brother Mu Ting is a special soldier. Both of you are too dangerous. Brother Mu Ting was lying down for so long last time, and now he recovers as soon as he recovers." Go back to the special forces to perform tasks, and I can't accept it."

The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hey, the white-eyed wolf has started to wander."

Mingshu squinted at him, "I'm not joking with you."

The person who came was Ming Shu's brother who had been beaten since he was a child, and Xiao Yu'an's cousin Xiao Jincheng.

Among the boys in the Xiao family, Xiao Jincheng and Ming Shu are the closest in age.Xiao Yu'an and Xiao Yu'an's cousin Xiao Muting are both six years older than Ming Shu, they always let Ming Shu do everything, only Xiao Jincheng and Ming Shu will grab things and sue each other.Xiao Jincheng is the overlord of the Xiao family. When Ming Shu Ding Ding was young, he was often teased by him. When he grew up, he was able to fight back. As long as Xiao Yu'an was not around, the two younger ones would fight.

The childhood grievances became a mess when they grew up. Mingshu became a criminal policeman, and Xiao Jincheng became a special anti-narcotics policeman. They didn't see each other a few times, but they had to make a few sentences when they met. They looked like enemies, but their feelings were also different. really good.Mingshu has no brothers and sisters in the Ming family, and Xiao Yuan's cousins ​​are all his elder and second brothers.

Mingshu was halfway through breakfast when he suddenly guessed the purpose of Xiao Jincheng's visit.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xiao Jincheng touched his arm deliberately, "White eyes stare at people, I'm afraid."

Mingshu asked: "Are you going to perform the mission too?"

Xiao Jincheng laughed, "Don't be so serious, okay?"

"I'll tell you why you came here suddenly." Mingshu picked up a tissue to wipe his hands, "Brother Mu Ting is going back to the special forces and is going abroad soon. And you are going to perform a very dangerous mission soon. You are worried that something will happen to you, Come ahead of time to say hello to Xiao Yuan and me, and let us take care of the old man, right?"

"Fuck." Xiao Jincheng held his brows helplessly, "It's not good if my little brother is too smart."

Mingshu put the unfinished breakfast into his pocket, got up and threw it away.

Xiao Jincheng put away his joking tone, "I am an anti-drug special police officer, and my brother is a special soldier. Since we have chosen this path, what we will face in the future is our fate, and it is also the old man's fate."

Mingshu turned his back to Xiao Jincheng, and said after a while: "I know. I'm also a policeman."

Xiao Jincheng smiled, "It's good to know, it's not in vain that we have loved you since childhood."

Mingshu turned sideways and scolded: "It hurts a ghost! You even want to grab edamame from me!"

Xiao Jincheng was baffled, "Why is this about Maodou?"

Mingshu didn't bother to explain that it was because he and Xiao Yuan only ate salted edamame last night.

Xiao Jincheng only stayed in Dongye City for one day, and left after meeting Xiao Yu'an in the evening. The walk was very organized. Everyone else took a car, but he had a helicopter to pick him up.

When Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jincheng were talking, Mingshu deliberately walked away, not listening to what they had to say.The sound of a helicopter taking off behind him sounded, and Ming Shu turned around and saw Xiao Yu'an walking towards him.

The night in the city is lively and peaceful, and the streets are full of ordinary ups and downs.

Mingshu said: "When you were in the special operations team, sometimes I couldn't contact you, so I was very worried, afraid that something would happen to you."

Xiao Yu'an squeezed his hand, "It's okay."

Mingshu nodded, "Yes."

The two were walking aimlessly on the street, Mingshu said: "Brother, please give me a gift."

"Huh?" Xiao Yu'an said, "What do you want?"

Mingshu smiled, "Why don't you ask me why I asked you for a gift?"

"You don't need to ask." Xiao Yu'an said, "I'll find you whatever you want."

Mingshu's ears gradually became hot, and some street lamp light fell into his eyes.

In fact, he didn't think about what gift to ask for at all. There was nothing missing at home, and he had never suffered materially since he was a child.

Asking Xiao Yu'an for a gift was just a whim, and he said it all of a sudden.It doesn't matter what the gift is, as long as it is from Xiao Yu'an, even dried croissants sold on the roadside will do.

There is a shopping mall nearby, Xiao Yuan said, "Go in and have a look."

On weekday nights, there were not many people shopping in the mall, so Mingshu finally picked out a winter coat that had just been released, and Xiao Yuan tied him a tie.

At night, this tie was tied around Mingshu's naked neck.

The rotation passed in a flash, and there was an eleventh in the middle, because no case was transferred to the serious crime team, even though the team members had returned to work, they were still relatively free.

Mingshu intends to focus on the case of Yisi Lane, but there are almost no clues, and after Xu Yin mentioned Chi Xiaomin last time, he started to pretend to be crazy, and then said that the person he saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin After a while, he was confused again, saying that he couldn't remember the person's appearance.

"Why do I feel that Xu Yin is playing tricks on us?" Fang Yuanhang said.

"I can't rule out this possibility." Xu Yin was the first person Yi Fei came into contact with. Every time Yi Fei talked about this little girl, he felt a panic in his heart, like stones, fingernails and other hard objects on the blackboard. Scratched above, "A kid who likes to play dead bodies, it's not surprising that anything will happen."

Mingshu called Lin Jiao over and asked Xu Yin how he was doing recently.

"It's the same way." Lin Jiao said, "Either stay alone in the room and play with building blocks, or run to the special police team to escape the door."

Mingshu asked: "There is no way to make her open her heart."

Lin Jiao shook his head, "Sorry."

Mingshu himself is a criminal policeman. Although he has done some research on criminal psychology, generally speaking, he is still following the old path of traditional criminal investigation. Compared with mysterious psychology, he pays more attention to real clues, so he is powerless to Lin Jiao. Not too disappointed.

As Yi Fei said, Xu Yin may indeed be playing games with the police, but as a little girl, Xu Yin has no way to know that Chi Xiaomin is the person the serious crime team is looking for.That being the case, among so many missing persons, why did she point to Chi Xiaomin's photo and say that it was her sister?

It could only be that the person she saw was indeed Chi Xiaomin.

Mingshu thought for a while, and heard Xing Mu and the others discussing something in a low voice.

If the members of the serious crime team were discussing work, it must be magnificent, and their voices were louder than each other. In the current scene, it can be seen that they are not talking about serious business.

Surrounded in the middle is Fang Yuanhang.Mingshu remembered that the apprentice had been abnormal for a long time, could it be that he was gathering people to talk about him?

Mingshu walked over quietly, and after listening for a few seconds, he realized that this group of people was planning to go to Qiyue Mountain for an autumn tour when there was no case to kill.

Autumn is getting stronger, and Qiyue Mountain in Shouquan Town, northwest of Dongye City, has become a holy place for short-distance autumn tours.

Mingshu has been in Dongye for so many years, and he has never heard of Qiyue Mountain before. It was only when he was training in the Special Operations Team last year that he checked Moments one day and learned about this place from Lu Yanzhou's autumn outing photos.

Qiyue Mountain was not called Qiyue Mountain before. Its real name is Tude, which makes people have no desire to travel.

Dongye City is a well-developed big city. People have a strong demand for travel. The surrounding mountains and lakes have been almost developed a few years ago. They are all called "urban green lungs" and "peach blossoms around you". And small holidays are occupied by people who usually live in the city.

Shishixiu Mountain has never been developed because its name is too vulgar. The mountain is lush and lush, and there is a temple with almost no incense, called Haijing Temple.No one has discovered its beauty, and no one has disturbed its beauty.

Until the autumn of the previous year, a big V donkey friend from other places accidentally ran into Shishi Sniffing Mountain, marveled at the dazzling yellow ginkgo trees all over the mountain, took a group of photos of the noisy yellow leaves and the quiet Zen temple, and posted on Weibo.

The photos include daytime scenery and nighttime scenery. The daytime scenery is astonishingly beautiful, but there is only one photo at night—a bright moon floats in the clear night sky, and a monk is clasping his hands under the ginkgo tree with a compassionate expression .

Since then Shi Sniffing Mountain has a new name, Qiyue Mountain. Last year, a large number of tourists flocked to enjoy the autumn. It was at that time that Lu Yanzhou ran with the DSLR he just bought. Huang Shi encountered a big case and couldn't join in the fun.

No wonder this year is around the corner.

"Master, let's go together." Seeing Mingshu coming, Fang Yuanhang hurriedly said: "I have already checked, the ginkgo leaves at the foot of Qiyue Mountain have just started to turn yellow these days, we should go this week, there should not be too many tourists. "

Mingshu said: "What's so good about Ganghuang, it will be almost the same in late autumn."

Xing Mu's rebuttal to the leader came up again, "But I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until late autumn."

Ming Shu: "Huh?"

Xing Mu moved his position and stood behind Fang Yuanhang, using Fang Yuanhang as a shield, "Wait any longer, even though the leaves are all yellow, the case might come."

Fang Yuanhang and Xiao Man nodded in agreement.

"Can you stop being so crow-mouthed?" Ming Shu smiled, "If there is no case, life will be difficult, right?"

"We are planning ahead." Xing Mu said while observing Mingshu.

Mingshu is not the kind of leader who doesn't like to participate in group activities. Although he is not interested in Qiyue Mountain, which suddenly pops up on the Internet, everyone wants to go, so he follows, "This week? Go on the same day Go back the same day or stay overnight?"

"I want to stay overnight." Fang Yuanhang is the most energetic. "There is only Haijing Temple on the mountain where people can live. We book in advance, and there may be bunks. It's nothing, it's not too cold now, bring a camping tent." That's it."

In fact, Mingshu didn't really want to spend the night, since there was Xiao Yuan at home, who would rarely sleep in a tent.

But everyone looked like they wanted to spend the night.

Mingshu could only say, "Then stay overnight."

Everyone was about to disband, Fang Yuanhang said: "Master, why don't you call Xiao Ju in too."

Xing Mu's expression changed suddenly.

Mingshu knew what he was thinking at a glance—isn't it enough to have a leader?Want to call another one?

"Ju Xiao." Ming Shu said, "Ju Xiao is the leader, so it's not convenient to call him for this kind of activity."

Xing Mu nodded quietly.

Fang Yuanhang secretly said: Hey!If there is no chance, I will create opportunities for you. Is there any apprentice who is as worried as I am?You rabbit even gnawed the grass by the side of the nest, why are you acting so pretentiously now?

Mingshu has read countless people, but this time he didn't see the truth in the eyes of his apprentice.

Fang Yuanhang added: "The two cases we solved recently were pointed out by Director Xiao. It's unreasonable for a group of us to go out for an autumn outing and not say anything to him, right?"

Mingshu said in his heart, how do you know that I won't say anything to him?Where can I go without yelling at him?

"Then I'll mention it to him." Ming Shu said seriously, "But he probably won't come."

Xing Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, Mingshu went upstairs to find Xiao Yuan, and happened to meet Liang Zhao coming out of the deputy director's office.

"Captain Liang." Mingshu greeted him proactively.

Compared with the previous few meetings, Liang Zhao's spirit seemed to be much better, and there was a smile on that fierce and vicious face.

Liang Zhao nodded, "Looking for Bureau Xiao?"

Mingshu said: "There is something in the team and I want to ask Director Xiao for instructions."

"Then you go in." Liang Zhao said and turned around, "I still have something to do, so let's go first."

Mingshu watched Liang Zhao go downstairs before knocking on the office door.

Xiao Yu'an was reading a document, and seeing Ming Shu came, he casually asked, "What's the matter?"

Mingshu put aside the matter of camping at Qiyue Mountain, and asked, "What can Team Liang want from you?"

"He's going to be transferred to Beicheng Branch for a while." Xiao Yu'an put down the documents, "Come and do some work handover with me."

"Branch office?" Mingshu was a little surprised. First, there was no related news before, and second, how could Liang Zhao be willing to go to the branch office.

Xiao Yu'an said: "Isn't Beicheng District going to host the International Electronics Fair in December? The security pressure is very high. Team Liang took the initiative to apply to Director Li, saying that he wanted to be temporarily transferred there."

Mingshu was still a little surprised, "This is not Team Liang's style."

"Captain Liang is also trying to figure out a change." Xiao Yu'an said, "It can be seen that he still wants to go up."

Mingshu felt that he didn't need to worry about the changes of the upper management anyway, so he mentioned the autumn outing to Xiao Yu'an.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu'an said: "You guys go, I'm here, you won't have enough fun."

Ming Shu has already passed the age of being stuck with Xiao Yu'an all the time, so he was not disappointed, and said with a smile, "I suddenly felt a little guilty."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Because you left me alone at home?"

Mingshu waved his arms passionately, "Because I let a man at the age of a wolf and a tiger stay alone in an empty room!"

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "Why didn't you become a comedian back then?"

"To be a comedian, you have to act for the people of the whole country." Mingshu explained righteously, "I'm a criminal policeman, and I'll only act for you if I have nothing to do. How about it?"

Xiao Yu'an said, "How about what?"

Mingshu asked: "Do you feel that you really found a treasure?"

"Yes, yes." Xiao Yu'an indulged, "I found a big treasure who can solve crimes and act."

Fang Yuanhang followed a Weibo account that released news about short-distance travel around Dongye City, and checked people's pictures every day to see how much the ginkgo leaves on Qiyue Mountain had turned yellow.Because there is no continuous high-intensity cooling, the degree of yellowing of the leaves is not ideal.

Qiyue Mountain is very popular during the month when the leaves turn yellow every year. The winter is too cold, the spring and summer have no characteristics, and the transportation is inconvenient. Few people go to climb the mountain.

"I told you to wait ten days and a half months before coming back, but you don't believe me!" Zhao Siyan was wearing a snow-white sportswear, even the shoes on her feet were white, and a Nikon SLR was hanging on her chest. Complained: "Look for yourself, is this trip for nothing?"

"Why did you come here for nothing?" Lu Chen followed behind, wearing a bright red sportswear and black sneakers, "Staying in school all day and night, aren't you bored? It's time to come out to get some air. The air here It’s so good, even if you don’t see many yellow leaves, it’s good to have a breath of fresh air. And we’ve only climbed to the middle of the mountain, so the leaves are certainly not yellow. I don’t believe that the leaves on the top of the mountain are not yellow."

Zhao Siyan stopped and turned her head angrily, "God, you want me to climb to the top of the mountain? Are you still human?"

"Let's go!" Lu Chen smiled and ran a few steps, pushing Zhao Siyan up, "Don't be naughty, you are wearing sportswear and sneakers today, don't you just want to go crazy! Listen to me, listen to me Yes, just climb up!"

There is no formal management of Qiyue Mountain. Only during the days when there are the most tourists, the town government will send people up the mountain to maintain order.

But now is far from the most tourist time.

In order to take beautiful photos of ginkgo leaves, the two girls kept encouraging each other to climb up the mountain. When they passed the Haijing Temple halfway up the mountain, Lu Chen suggested to go in and have a rest, and then ask the monks about the situation on the top of the mountain.

"It's best not to go up again." The young monk said, "The ginkgo leaves on the top of the mountain should be yellow, but few people go up, there is no way, and it's getting late now, when we reach the top, the sky must be already It's dark, you two girls are not safe."

"It's okay!" Lu Chen said, "We are all female men!"

The two had to go to the top of the mountain, and the monk had no choice but to tell them to be careful.

After seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

The mountains are not like cities. After the sun sets, there are other lights. When it gets dark on Qiyue Mountain, it is really dark.

Zhao Siyan started to get scared, "Let's go back, I'm so cold."

Lu Chen was not as brave as when he came here, he took Zhao Siyan's hand and walked down the mountain.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. It is nothing more than a waste of energy to climb up the mountain. Now it is better, it is pitch black, and there is no way to find a foothold.

The most disturbing thing is that the phone has entered a "no service" state.

Zhao Siyan's feet slipped and fell, and the snow-white sportswear was covered with mud and moss.

"I'm afraid..." she began to cry, "What should I do?"

"You wait for me here, I'll go down and see where I can go." Lu Chen held a thick branch he picked up in his hand, "Don't panic, if we can go up, we can go down."

Zhao Siyan cried even harder, "Don't go!"

"I won't go down to find the way, neither of us will think about going down the mountain tonight!" Lu Chen said, "I won't go too far, I will come back to pick you up after I find a section of the road, and then find the next section."

Zhao Siyan could only agree if he disagreed.

Lu Chen smiled at her by the moonlight, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "We were all deceived by that big V, the ginkgo under the moonlight is not beautiful at all, you can't even see it, I don't know when he took pictures. After so much exposure, I no longer believe in Big V!"

Zhao Siyan said anxiously: "If you find the way, hurry back!"

Lu Chen said, "I know, I know."

Zhao Siyan watched Lu Chen walk away, his figure gradually blurred, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.

"Chenchen?" She stood up from the ground and tentatively walked into the darkness, "Chenchen, where are you?"

Lu Chen didn't answer, and there was no sound of anyone stepping on the ground.

Zhao Siyan's heartbeat increased, and her voice trembled, "Chenchen! Answer me!"
