Madness of the Heart

The moment he realized that Director Li had been watching him from behind, Ming Shu suddenly had a strange feeling.

This feeling is close to unpleasant, but not just unpleasant.

Since coming to Dongye City Bureau, Ming Shu has been working under Li Bureau.In terms of criminal investigation, Director Li is actually not as good as some old policemen who have worked on the front line all their lives, and their "sense of smell" is not as sensitive as Xiao Yuan's elite transferred from the special operations team.However, the chief of a bureau needs not only the professional quality of solving cases, but also excellent management ability and overall situation awareness.

In the position of Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, there is no more suitable candidate than Director Li.

In the past, Mingshu felt that it was very comfortable to have such a leader who could handle the pressure and adjust the conflicts in various departments.

But this time, Director Li's eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

But he reacted quite quickly, without showing any emotion, and said relaxedly: "Ju Li, you also saw Team Liang? Did he go to you?"

Li Ju said: "I haven't looked for me, maybe there is something wrong when I come back."

Mingshu said: "Has the Liang team gone to the Beicheng branch now?"

"What, you have something to do with him?" Director Li asked.

"Anyway, Captain Liang used to be the leader of our serious crime team. He went to the Beicheng branch, and many brothers in the serious crime team didn't know about it." Mingshu smiled, "We must find time to have a meal."

"Do you have time now?" Director Li smiled and said, "Liang Zhao told me not to engage in those formalistic things. Besides, he is only temporarily transferred to the Beicheng branch, and it's not like he will never go back."

Mingshu followed the words: "That's right, I'll have dinner with him when Captain Liang comes back."

Director Li changed the subject and asked, "How's the investigation on the Qiyueshan case going?"

"It's still in the planning stage." Mingshu said.

"Well, it's hard work." Li Ju joked: "If you have any difficulties, just mention it to Xiao Ju, I can't control you anymore."

Mingshu smiled, "I understand."

After Li Ju finished speaking, he went downstairs. Mingshu waited for a while before going to Xiao Yu'an.

Xiao Yuan communicated with Shen Xun in front of Mingshu.Both parties are extremely efficient people, and the phone call was completed quickly.Only then did Mingshu say that he saw Liang Zhao and Li Ju outside just now.

"I'm watching Team Liang from the corner, and Director Li is watching me from the other corner." Mingshu hissed, "Is this scene a bit weird?"

Xiao Yu'an asked, "What do you suspect is wrong with Director Li?"

Mingshu shook his head, "I didn't say that, Director Li is going to retire soon, so it won't happen. But that's the feeling, it's not very comfortable."

At this time, Yi Fei called and said that Xiong Hanqiang was planning to leave Shouquan Town. The car had already driven to the highway, and was stopped by the team members who were driving to Shouquan Town. Now he has been brought back to the serious crime team .

"I did it to avoid debts! It has nothing to do with those two women!" Xiong Hanqiang sat in the inquiry room anxiously, "I just sent them to Qiyue Mountain, I didn't do anything else! I I work in Shouquan Town, soliciting customers along the way, you can check my driving records, they stopped my car. I sent them to Qiyue Mountain, and they paid me 50 yuan."

As he said that, Xiong Hanqiang took out his mobile phone and flipped through the WeChat records tremblingly, "Look, this is the money they transferred to me. If I tell a lie, you will send me to jail immediately!"

From Tianxing West Road Station to Qiyue Mountain, it is about [-] kilometers by car on the main road. There is no public transportation. Now it is the autumn season, and there are many private cars waiting for passengers on Tianxing West Road.

Mingshu is wearing earphones, and the field team members are reporting to him the investigation of Xiong Hanqiang's family situation.

Xiong Hanqiang is a chemical fertilizer distributor. He has an elderly father, a wife and a pair of children. The family was originally happy, but since last year, the chemical fertilizer business in Shouquan Town has become more and more difficult. At home, he worked desperately to make money, and after Qiyue Mountain became an Internet celebrity scenic spot, he drove a ride to solicit customers. During peak hours, he could earn more than 1000 yuan in fare a day.

However, the income from soliciting customers is not enough to fill the shortfall of the business. Recently, debt collectors have come to the door almost every day.

This man who respects his parents and treats his wife and children kindly abandons his family and children and chooses to run away.

Ming Shu had an idea in mind, and asked, "What did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan say in the car?"

"Let's talk about the leaves on Qiyue Mountain." Xiong Hanqiang said, "I told them it's still too early, and we have to wait at least a week for the leaves to turn yellow."

Mingshu said, "Did they ask you anything?"

Xiong Hanqiang lowered his head and recalled, "That's right! One of the women added me on WeChat and asked me to pick them up when I went down the mountain!"

Mingshu's eyes changed slightly, "You didn't go?"

"They didn't call me after that!" Xiong Hanqiang spread his hands, a man in his forties, his face was full of greasy and wrinkled life, "I thought they called another car, and I'm just driving a ride, I have my own life at night."

Xiong Hanqiang's so-called "life" is actually playing mahjong with friends and neighbors.

This has been verified logistically.

Mingshu asked again: "Since they also want to take your car on the return trip, they should have told you an approximate time to go down the mountain in advance."

"That's what I said." Xiong Hanqiang nodded, "It gets dark after seven o'clock in the mountain, and it was not yet noon when I sent them to Qiyue Mountain. They said they must go down the mountain before dark, which is after six o'clock. No later than seven o'clock."

It was agreed to go down the mountain before dark, but they were killed in the mountain after dark. For the two girls, the accident happened just a few hours after going up the mountain.

Mingshu walked up and down the corridor, gently rubbing his eye sockets with his right hand.

It is now basically confirmed that they were killed at night, but what is the reason why they failed to go down the mountain on time?

"Because they want to take more satisfying scenery." Xiao Yuan came to Mingshu's side, holding a paper cup in his hand, which looked like hot coffee.

Mingshu took a sip, only to realize that it was hot milk with half sugar.

"In fact, it's easy to understand. Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan went to Qiyue Mountain to take pictures of the yellowing ginkgo leaves." Xiao Yu'an said: "Their psychology is similar to Fang Yuanhang's. They don’t have their own cars, so they choose to transfer to Qiyue Mountain by bus to a private car, which is a lot of trouble. Now that they have gone, shouldn’t they go to the place with the most beautiful scenery? Four days ago, The temperature hasn't dropped yet, where is the most beautiful place in Qiyue Mountain?"

Mingshu said: "The more you go up, the more yellow leaves. Is it because they climbed too high and miscalculated the time, so they couldn't go down the mountain before dark?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "The environment on the top of Qiyue Mountain is very complicated, and the two girls may not be able to get down after going up."

"The murderer appeared when they were in trouble?" Ming Shu frowned, "It makes sense."

Xiao Yu'an asked: "How is the investigation of the relationship between the two of you?"

"Xu Chun is still investigating at the bar." Ming Shu said, "Lu Chen's parents are abroad and are on their way back. Zhao Siyan's mother has already arrived."

Xiao Yuan nodded, and called Mingshu back when he was about to leave.

Mingshu turned around, "Huh?"

Xiao Yuan raised his hand and wiped the corner of Mingshu's lips.

Ming Shu almost reflexively bit Xiao Yu'an's finger.

Xiao Yuan wiped off the milk froth on his hands, and patted Mingshu's waist, "Go,"

Reception room.

Wei Rumei, Zhao Siyan's mother, a capable woman in her 50s, cried so hard when she came back from identifying the body.

"It's all her father's and me's fault. We caused her to be targeted by the bad guys!" Wei Rumei covered the upper half of her face with her hands, tears of regret filled her face without makeup.

Mingshu asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Siyan grew up pampered by us and never experienced hardship. When she was admitted to Dongye University, her father and I joked with him, saying that she will be an adult after she graduates, and she will have to live on her own in the future." Solve it." Wei Rumei choked up and said, "Siyan has to be strong, and later she went to work in bars with her roommate."

Mingshu said: "Do you know that she works part-time in a bar?"

This is suspicious.

Normally, parents know their daughter is working in the night market, and they will stop her, especially for Zhao Siyan's family, but Wei Rumei obviously didn't stop Zhao Siyan.

"I was also confused for a moment. She insisted that she didn't want to use my and her father's money, so I compromised." Wei Rumei kept shaking her head, "She is a simple girl, she must have been murdered by people in the bar!"

Nancheng District, a bar street, "seeing deer in the forest".

Knowing that two female graduate students who worked in his shop were killed, Shi Niannian, the owner of "Lin Shen Jian Lu", was very surprised, "Isn't it a mistake?"

Xu Chun has already obtained the shift schedule of the bar, which shows that Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan only rest on the night of the 13th when they were killed, and they have shifts for the last three nights.

"These two didn't come to work, and they didn't ask for leave. You don't know anything about it?" Xu Chun asked.

"I..." Shi Niannian is actually in his 30s, but looks like he is only in his twenties.Facing the police, her eyes drifted violently, "I don't come to the bar every day, the manager manages the staff."

The manager Shi Niannian mentioned was called You Lin.When asked about Lu and Zhao's "absenteeism" situation, You Lin's reaction was similar to that of Shi Niannian, "I know they didn't come, but they are all part-time workers. Suddenly they don't want to work, and I don't need to get them back Come on. Besides, these days are working days, and the business is average, so we are all busy if they come or not."

This explanation seemed to make sense, and Xu Chun asked again: "What exactly do they do? Are there any familiar customers?"

You Lin dodged and said, "What do you think our place is?"

Xu Chun asked back, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

You Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Lu Chen is a bartender, and Zhao Siyan also wanted to learn bartending at first, but he couldn't do it well, so he stayed in the post of waiter all the time."

"You haven't finished answering my question." Xu Chun's eyes were sharp, "Do they have any familiar customers?"

"This..." You Lin hesitated, "It's hard for me to say."

Xu Chun called out He Yi's photo, "Is this person a regular visitor here?"

You Lin looked carefully, "I have no impression."

"Think again."

"I……"

Xu Chun said: "I understand your desire to protect the privacy of your guests, but this case is not trivial. Manager You, what do you know, it's best not to hide it."

You Lin was silent for a long time, and finally said: "He, he chased Zhao Siyan before, whenever Zhao Siyan went to work, he would come, and even asked us about Zhao Siyan's real name - all the waiters here use pseudonyms. Zhao Siyan didn't like him, I heard that Lu Chen also found someone to beat him."

Xu Chun immediately reported the situation to Mingshu.

"He Yi was not only rejected by Zhao Siyan, but also beaten by Lu Chen?" Ming Shu stood in the corridor with his mobile phone in his hand, "Then he does have a motive for committing the crime. What about the others? 'Lin Shen Sees the Deer', is there anything else?" Suspicious points? How about checking the whole street?"

Xu Chun said: "Shi Niannian, the owner of 'Lin Shen Sees the Deer', reacted rather strangely, but nothing else."

Mingshu asked: "What kind of strange method?"

"Afraid of investigation, afraid of facing the police." Xu Chun laughed, "I'm more aggressive."

Mingshu did not meet Shi Niannian in person, so it is impossible to judge from Xu Chun's "feeling" whether Shi Niannian has anything to do with Lu and Zhao's case.Besides, everyone has secrets and dark sides. Shi Niannian's dodge when facing Xu Chun is probably due to other things.

"Where are you now?" Mingshu asked.

"Still in Bar Street." Xu Chun said, "Didn't I call you as soon as I came out of 'Lin Shen Seeing the Deer'?"

Mingshu said: "Go to the Cultural Bureau immediately and find this He Yi."

Dongye City Cultural Bureau.

"Who are you?" In the evening, when He Yi came out of the office building, Xu Chun stopped him.

Xu Chun looked at this ordinary-looking, not tall, and timid man, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He Yi met Zhao Siyan in "Seeing the Deer in the Deep Forest", chased after, or harassed Zhao Siyan, and was rejected by Zhao Siyan, and was beaten by Lu Chen.He Yi held a grudge against the two, and had sufficient motives for committing the crime.But He Yi's body and temperament are really not like someone who can cleanly stab a knife into the temporal bone of an adult.

But in any case, this person is not a small suspect, and we must find out the details.

Xu Chunliang showed his ID, "Do you know Zhao Siyan and Lu Chen?"

He Yi's expression changed immediately, with surprise and fear appearing in his eyes, "Her, they..."

"It seems that you are very impressed with them." Xu Chun opened the car door, "Come on, let me go to the Municipal Bureau to chat."

He Yi took a step back, and it seemed that he was very unwilling.

Xu Chun raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"I still have to work, and I have to work overtime at night." He Yi said and looked behind him.

It was the off-duty time at this time, and people kept coming out of the building, and several of them even greeted He Yi.

People who work in a place like the Cultural Bureau are most afraid of having a stain on their character.Being found by the police is certainly a stain among stains. He Yi broke out in sweat after only standing for a few minutes, and the underarms of his shirt were gradually soaked.

"Xiao He?" At this time, a fat woman in her fifties passed by, "I see you have been out for a long time, why haven't you eaten yet?"

The woman glanced at Xu Chun as she spoke, and then asked He Yi, "Friend?"

Xu Chun is not wearing a police uniform, and it is not the same as a traditional policeman.At this time, he was standing beside He Yi, combined with He Yi's expression, from the perspective of others, it seemed more like He Yi had provoked someone in the society.

Xu Chun also knew that he was not like a policeman, so he turned around and smiled at the woman.

The woman squinted defensively.

"Yes, it's my friend." He Yi said quickly: "Director Gong, today my friend is here, so I won't go to the cafeteria."

The woman sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and confirmed with He Yi again, "Xiao He, are you alright?"

He Yi smiled guiltily, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Director Gong, go to the cafeteria quickly."

After the woman left, Xu Chun said coldly, "Get in the car."

He Yi kept his mouth shut, and took a few steps forward, looking like he was about to get into the car, but just when he was about to touch the door, he turned around suddenly and ran to the side path.

But how could Xu Chun let him run away.

As early as when He Yi turned around, Xu Chun realized that he wanted to run, and he only took two steps before being picked up by Xu Chun and thrown on the back seat of the car.

"I didn't break the law, why did you arrest me?" He Yi shouted timidly from the car already started.

Xu Chun asked: "Then what did you run away just now? I just invited you to the bureau to assist in the investigation. Do you understand the word 'assistance'?"

He Yi said: "Your behavior will affect my work. Everyone knows that I was taken away by the police!"

Xu Chun said: "Then you should think about it, why didn't the police take away other people, but why did they take you?"

"Me!" He Yi suddenly seemed to be pinched to a sore spot, and he was speechless all the way to the city bureau.

Serious crime team, inquiry room.

"How did you know Zhao Siyan?" Mingshu asked.

He Yi lowered his head and said for a long time: "I don't know this person."

Mingshu tapped his index finger on the table, "There is no need to tell such a lie, right? The monitoring of 'There Are Deer in the Forest' and the communication records between you and Zhao Siyan prove that you not only knew each other, but also had disputes."

He Yi said anxiously: "But didn't that incident have passed long ago? Could it be that she reported me to harass her now? But it was already resolved at that time!"

Mingshu asked: "What is 'that matter'?"

He Yi acted as if he hadn't heard, and eagerly defended, "Yes, I chased her, but I just chased her and didn't do anything else to her. It's her who called someone to beat me, that's a crime Right? I was the one who was beaten, even if she is the villain who files the complaint first, you shouldn’t be investigating me, right?”

Mingshu narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I brought you here because Zhao Siyan reported the crime?"

He Yi asked: "Otherwise, why else? I swear, after she and her friend asked someone to warn me, I never approached her again!"

Mingshu suddenly said: "They are already dead."

He Yi seemed to be down, he was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "Dead? Who died?"

Ming Shu stared at He Yi, and said slowly: "Zhao Siyan, Lu Chen."

He Yi opened his mouth, his pupils almost froze in his eyes, with an extremely surprised expression.

About half a minute later, he stood up suddenly, saliva sprayed from his mouth, "You think I killed them!?"

"Sit down." Mingshu avoided the saliva that almost splashed on his face, and said patiently: "Now answer a few questions for me. First, where are you on October 10?"

He Yi was extremely emotional and couldn't listen at all, "It's definitely not me! How could I kill someone? You guys are mistaken, I want to go back! You believe me, when they beat me and threatened me, I didn't even dare to call the police How dare you kill someone?"
