Madness of the Heart

"Get up!" policeman Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly helped the man up and dragged a chair, "Sit down and talk slowly, how can you kneel down, what do you say to us policemen when others see you?"

The man was well-dressed, and his outfit cost a few thousand dollars, but his skin was sallow, his face and eyes were full of embarrassment, and it didn't match the clothes.

"The farming is busy in my hometown. I went back to my hometown to work in August. I have very little contact with my Xiaomin. The last time I called him, he was fine. But before I came back the day before yesterday, I called him and couldn't get through. , I rushed back to check, and there was no one at home.” The man gasped and said, “Comrade policeman, you said he was a well-behaved person, why did he disappear for no reason? Something must have happened! Please, help me find him.” Come back, I kowtow to you!"

Zhang Xuejiao has been a police officer for half her life, and every now and then, nearby residents come to the police, saying that the old man has gone missing, the child has disappeared, and the girl in the family has not returned home in the middle of the night, but it is rare to say that the son is missing.

"Don't be in a hurry, the more you are in a hurry, the more unclear you will be." Zhang Xuejiao called Xiao Jin, the policeman who had just been assigned to the station, and asked the man to make a statement.

"Is it just taking notes?" The man looked at Zhang Xuejiao helplessly, "I heard people say that even if I call the police, you may not file a case."

Zhang Xuejiao sighed, and put a cup of warm water on the table, "Sir, whether to file a case or not depends on the situation. You should explain your son's situation first."

The man was very anxious, but he had to follow suit.

Guofu Street is a noisy street, but the police station is very quiet.

The man's surname is Qiu, his name is Qiu Guoying, he is 63 years old, and his hometown is Qingshui Town within the jurisdiction of Luocheng.Although Qingshui Town is managed by Luo City, it is much closer to Dongye City than Luo City. If the townspeople leave their hometowns to live in big cities, most of them choose Dongye City.

Qiu Guoying has a son named Qiu Min, who is only 25 years old this year.Qiu Guoying's wife was an elderly woman who died of dystocia when giving birth to Qiu Min.

As early as more than ten years ago, Qiu Guoying sold the house in his hometown and brought Qiu Min, who was still studying, to Dongye City.

Qiu Guoying is diligent and nimble. He helped people build houses in his hometown. After entering the city, he worked as a carpenter for a private home improvement company to make money.The real estate in Dongye City has been booming year after year, and people's demand for house decoration is getting stronger and stronger. Qiu Guoying is good at craftsmanship, and within a few years, he bought a second-hand house in Dongcheng District. The lives of himself and Qiu Min have been completely settled down.

Qiu Min didn't have a mother, and he had a cowardly personality when he was a child, and he was always afraid to go out—this is one of the reasons why Qiu Guoying insisted on bringing Qiu Min to a big city.

Another reason is that Qiu Min's mother's family hates Qiu Min very much and thinks Qiu Min is a murderer.

Qiu Min's uncle Li Aiyou even appeared at Qiu Min's school many times, threatening to kill Qiu Min.

"You little scourge, you killed my sister! Just wait for me, I'll fucking kill you sooner or later!"

Leaving his hometown, getting rid of the familiar environment and relatives who look ugly, Qiu Min became cheerful day by day, his grades in junior high and high school were among the best in the school, and he even went to a prestigious school in the north to study law in university.

Qiu Guoying originally thought that his son would stay in the north to develop, but Qiu Min only stayed in the north for half a year after graduation, and then returned to Dongye City, saying that his old father was getting older, and he was worried that his son was too far away. .

Qiu Guoying felt sorry for his son and felt very caring.Thinking that Dongye City is also a big city, my son can come back if he wants to.

As a result, the father and son lived a life dependent on each other again. Qiu Guoying continued to work as a carpenter, while Qiu Min found a job in Weixiang Law Firm in the city center, which earned a lot of money.Qiu Guoying only went to primary school, and has no concept of the "tall" legal profession. He only knows that his son is good and promising, and he is the pride of himself and his late wife.

Qiu Min told Qiu Guoying two years ago that the money he earned was enough to support his family, and he didn't need to go out to work anymore.But Qiu Guoying is still in good health. On the one hand, he can’t take time off, and on the other hand, he wants to save money for his son’s marriage, so he still does carpentry. He returns to Qingshui Town every year during the busy season to help his elder brother and third younger brother with farm work. .

"Qiu Min is very filial, and he would never leave home without telling me." Qiu Guoying almost cried, "Please file a case and help me find him!"

While comforting Qiu Guoying, Xiao Jin asked, "When was the last time you contacted Qiu Min?"

Qiu Guoying dug out the call records on the phone, "Look, it's today."

September 9, 29:7 pm.

"It's all my fault. I don't usually like to call. Xiao Min called me that day, asking me how I was doing in my hometown and whether anyone from the Li family came to trouble me." Qiu Guoying was very annoyed, "If I Give Xiao Min a call, if he doesn't answer one day, I know something has happened to him, and I will hurry back!"

Xiao Jin picked up the phone and saw that since October 10, Qiu Guoying had made countless calls to Qiu Min, but none of them could be connected.

"You said that Qiu Min works at Weixiang Law Firm. Have you inquired about it at the law firm?" Xiao Jin said, "Is it possible that he was sent by the law firm on a business trip?"

Qiu Guoying's face became more sad, "The people in the law firm said that Xiao Min doesn't work there. But it's impossible, Xiao Min clearly showed me the work card and the clothes issued by the law firm. They saw that I was an old man , just perfunctory me. They must know about Xiao Min's disappearance!"

"Aren't you working there?" Xiao Jin was a little confused, and turned to look at Zhang Xuejiao, "Sister Zhang, this..."

Many of the family conflicts that Zhang Xuejiao has solved are the mutual concealment of unemployment between husband and wife, father and son.The situation described by Qiu Guoying is very similar to the fact that Qiu Min never found a job in a law firm, or once found a job, but was fired for some reason, but has been hiding it from Qiu Guoying.

But Qiu Guoying also said that Qiu Min's income is rich, and the food at home is very good.

You can talk nonsense, but the facts are in front of you - Qiu Guoying's clothes are indeed not cheap.

So where did Qiu Min get his money from?

Is Qiu Min's disappearance related to the money?

A few years ago, a drug-related case occurred in Dongcheng District. A drug-making and drug-trafficking gang hid in a residential building and was active for two years.In the process of destroying the gang, the special police detachment of the sub-bureau sacrificed two anti-narcotics police officers.

Zhang Xuejiao was a witness at that time. She hated drug dealers extremely and was extremely sensitive to any drug-related cases.As soon as Qiu Guoying finished speaking, her first thought was, is Qiu Min involved in drug trafficking?

Drug trafficking brings in the fastest money, and horse boys are the easiest to be thrown away as discarded pawns.

Zhang Xuejiao immediately asked: "Among Qiu Min's friends, is there anyone you are familiar with?"

Qiu Guoying shook his head, "Xiao Min is very busy and is often away from home, especially at night. I work during the day, but I can't see him when I go back at night. He never brings friends home."

Zhang Xuejiao took a deep breath, "Okay..."

"Can the case be filed?" Qiu Guoying was worried, "You must file the case!"

Zhang Xuejiao tried her best to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, we will investigate the matter of Qiu Min."

Xiao Jin was a little surprised, and looked at Zhang Xuejiao suspiciously.

"Since childhood, the only person Xiao Min has offended is his mother's family." Qiu Guoying said, "Could it be his uncle Li Aiyou?"

"I've written down all your reactions." Zhang Xuejiao said, "You go back first, and we'll draw up an investigation plan."

After sending Qiu Guoying away, Zhang Xuejiao thought twice and reported the case to the Dongcheng Branch.

Major Crimes Unit, Deputy Director's Office.

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yu'an, tapping his fingers rhythmically on his cheeks.

"In the case of Qiyue Mountain, it can be seen from the scene that the murderer has very strong emotions to express. When you are investigating, you have also been analyzing along with the murderer's emotions-the first is a sexually repressed psychopathic murderer , The second is to hate lesbians. There is nothing wrong with this line of thinking, but every time a suspect is found, a problem will arise." Xiao Yu'an said: "That is, the suspect does not seem to have the ability to commit such a crime. A case. In addition to the contradictions we discussed just now, Captain Ming, have you ever thought about why this is?"

Mingshu closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then slowly said, "We followed the situation at the scene and profiled the murderer with conventional thinking, but found that the logic was different from similar cases... the murderer was actually misleading us?"

Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, the murderer deliberately put the corpse in that posture, with obvious ritualistic and expressive desires. Any police team that starts an investigation must analyze the murderer's psychology and draw our previous conclusions. But It's just a cover-up for the murderer. He hopes that the police will misunderstand him as a repressed psychopath. In fact, he has no sexual defects, and he doesn't need to act like a sexually repressed psychopath to the corpses of two women. move."

Mingshu said: "Then what is the reason for his crime? In this way, the motive is completely blurred."

Xiao Yu'an said: "As I said just now, I just want to remind you to prevent you from going into a dead end. This case still needs to be investigated according to conventional logic. After all, there are still some blind spots. But if under conventional logic, all possible If you are all ruled out, you must immediately 'brake' and come to my unconventional way of thinking."

Ming Shu covered his forehead for a while, and said loudly: "Thank you Xiao Ju for your guidance, I understand."

Qiyue Mountain, Haijing Temple.

From a personal point of view, Fang Yuanhang is actually not willing to doubt the monks in Haijing Temple.His grandparents believed in Buddhism, and there is a Buddhist altar at home.When he was a child, his grandparents took him to many temples.He slept on mats with young monks in the temple, ate fast meals, and even imagined that one day he would shave his hair, not study or take exams, and go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk. .

Although the wish of becoming a monk fell through, becoming a policeman and a member of the Criminal Investigation Bureau's serious crime team can be regarded as realizing the lofty dream of punishing rape and eliminating evil and protecting one party when I was a child.

All in all, Fang Yuanhang has always respected the monks. He even felt that his righteousness was developed subtly when he was a child, eating and living with the monks.

But as a criminal policeman, he had to ponder over every doubtful point in his mind.

"I've already finished my explanation last time." Seeing Fang Yuanhang again, Wu Seng's face was very ugly, "I told them that the mountain is dangerous, but they must go up. I'm a monk, and I'm not the administrator of this mountain. You can't stop them, can you?"

Fang Yuanhang asked: "How do you arrange your work and rest time here?"

Wu Seng was stunned for a while, "I like to read and go to bed late, but my brothers and master go to bed very early."

"How early is early?"

"It looks like eight or nine o'clock. We don't have a TV here, and the mobile phone signal is not good. We have to look for 2G signals, let alone 4G."

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Would you mind telling me your common name?"

Wu Hate opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Since I have entered Buddhism, I have abandoned the worldly things."

Fang Yuanhang suddenly said harshly: "But you are still a citizen of our country!"

Wu Seng shrank his neck in Fang Yuanhang's explosive momentum, got up after a while and said, "Then wait for me."

While waiting to realize his hatred, Fang Yuanhang looked at the structure of the room he was in.

Many ancient temples are mortise and tenon structures without using a single nail.But Haijing Temple is obviously not. It has nails in many places.

Ten long iron nails for construction were nailed to the bodies of the two deceased, and these long iron nails were things more than ten years ago, and they are no longer available on the market.

After thinking about it, Fang Yuanhang walked towards a wooden pillar. The wooden pillar was already very old at first glance, and there were several old nails on it.

Fang Yuanhang touched it with gloves on, and then found a photo of the nails on the victim's body for comparison.

It's not the same, and the difference is quite large.

Fang Yuanhang pursed his lips and took several photos.

Ten minutes later, Wu Heng came back with a tin box.

"My documents are all in there." Wu Seng said, "You can verify as much as you want."

Fang Yuanhang opened the tin box and saw Wushen's ID card, undergraduate student ID card, driver's license, passport, bank card and other items.

Wu Seng's real name is Fang Pingxu, 24 years old, from Los Angeles. He studied at Los Angeles Normal University as an undergraduate. Because he gave up his studies and became a monk in his senior year, he did not get his diploma.

Fang Yuanhang asked: "Your home is in Luocheng, why did you come to Dongye City to become a monk?"

Wu Seng said: "Although there are many well-known universities in Luocheng, Luoshi is a second-rate school. I applied for the university in Dongye City at the beginning. Last year and the year before last, I stayed in Dongye City."

"What about your family?"

"I was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage."

Fang Yuanhang was quite surprised, and looked at Wushen's ID card again, and finally took pictures of them one by one.

Enlightening hatred is not the only purpose of Fang Yuanhang's coming to Haijing Temple.

Fang Yuanhang doubted Wu Seng not because Wu Seng had a clear motive for committing the crime, but simply because Wu Seng had the conditions to commit the crime.According to this logic, other monks in Haijing Temple also have the conditions to commit crimes.

Mingshu asked him to investigate freely, and put into action any ideas he had, and his own master would control the overall situation.

This undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

Apart from Wushen, there are also Wushen's five brothers who are still in Haijing Temple.

Wu Nian, 31 years old, has been in Haijing Temple for more than ten years, taciturn, doing sweeping work mechanically.

When Fang Yuanhang asked any questions, he would just answer "Amitabha" indifferently.

Wu Yu was about the same age as Wu Nian, but he became a monk later, only two years earlier than Wu Seng. The gray commoner clothes on him didn't look like monk's clothes, but rather an improved fashion.

"Well, I just suddenly saw through the world of mortals." Without waiting for Fang Yuanhang to ask questions, Wuyu said it himself, "I used to be rich, I drove a Lamborghini, slept with handsome men and beautiful women, and I want to eat both men and women. Not getting what? But I'm not happy, you know?"

Fang Yuanhang: "..."

"You don't understand at first glance." Wu Yu smiled and said, "Because you have never owned these things, you are a poor boy who is struggling on the line of food and clothing."

Fang Yuanhang felt that he probably didn't agree with Qiyue Mountain, otherwise, he would be "shot" whenever he encountered something related to Qiyue Mountain.

After laughing a few times, Wu Yu's face was suddenly clouded, and even his voice changed, "The burden on my shoulders is too heavy. I can't bear it. I might as well let it go. Look at how cool I am as a monk. I don't need anything. No matter, just lie in this yard all day and watch the leaves grow and fall, the flowers bloom and fade, the clouds are surging and the clouds are calming down, what a joy! Hey little brother, aren't you tired?"

Fang Yuanhang said, "You mean my job?"

"Referring to your life." Wuyu smiled again, "Why don't you become a monk just like me, and be my little junior brother, and I will protect you."

Fang Yuanhang's forehead twitched, and following Wu Yu's words, he said, "Don't you have a junior brother?"

"You mean Wu hate?" Wu Yu said disdainfully, "Tsk, he can't get into my eyes?"

Fang Yuanhang hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Want to know why?" Wuyu said, "Call Senior Brother to let me listen."

Fang Yuanhang said seriously: "I am investigating the case."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Wuyu sat down neatly, "Wuhan is not devoted to Buddha at all, he is a layman with evil intentions, and he comes here to live just to escape reality. Just watch, he lived It won't be long before you leave by yourself."

"Insanity?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Hey benefactor, do you think..." Wu Yu pointed his index finger upwards, "The two women on the mountain were killed by Wu Hate?"

Fang Yuanhang's expression changed, "What do you know?"

Wuyu waved his hands and said, "I don't know anything, I'm just a heartless monk Hua."

There are also two older monks in Haijing Temple, namely 52-year-old Wu Shi and 49-year-old Wu Han. Compared with Wu Seng, Wu Nian, and Wu Yu, they are more in line with the monks in Fang Yuanhang's mind. image.

As for the presiding master of Haijing Temple, Master Yaochen, who is now 73 years old, is retreating in the meditation room in the backyard.

Dongcheng Branch, Criminal Investigation Detachment.

The case of Qiu Min's disappearance was filed for investigation. After this investigation, it was found that when Qiu Min returned to Dongye City from the north three years ago, he was indeed working at Weixiang Law Firm, but he voluntarily offered to resign before his probationary period expired.

"It's not a matter of working ability." Park Shan, the lawyer who was in charge of guiding Qiu Min at the time, said: "He is very smart and has his own ideas. He thinks that the profession of lawyer is not suitable for him. We still have contact this year, just the first half of the year. He He also invited me to dinner. Why, what happened to him?"

The criminal police of the sub-bureau asked: "Do you know what job he did after he resigned?"

"Write a public account? Or a Weibo account?" Park Shan said, "I'm not sure."

Soon, the police found out Qiu Min's real job through his Internet records—this top student from a prestigious school actually became an Internet celebrity after giving up his job.

Qiu Min's online name is "Qiu Shan Wang Mian", and he has registered Weibo, public account, and live broadcast account with the same name.

Three years ago, he posted his first food tasting video, and he is now a very popular eating, drinking, and entertaining V among young people in Dongye City. His last Weibo post was published on October 10, recommending Beicheng District A red date stewed chicken shop.

Qiu Min is handsome and shows his face in all the videos.He said in the video that autumn is here, everyone should pay attention to health preservation, today my "Amway" is...

There are a lot of comments on this weibo. If you sort it by time, the most recent comments are all fans asking when he will update his blog, and some people are worried that something happened to him.

Knowing that Qiu Min's disappearance had nothing to do with drug dealers, Zhang Xuejiao was relieved.

"Captain Qiao, should we investigate this case by ourselves, or report it to the higher authorities?" Shen Nan couldn't decide, so he rushed to ask Lan Qiao.

The Criminal Investigation Detachment of Dongcheng Branch formed a female police squadron, with experienced Lan Qiao as the captain.

At this time, the communication and interpersonal relationship before Qiu Min's disappearance are being investigated. Lan Qiao browsed the video made by Qiu Min at double speed, and noticed that at this time last year, the year before last, Qiu Min "Ali" prayed to Yueshan many times, but this year, in September At the beginning of the month, when the ginkgo leaves of Qiyue Mountain hadn't turned yellow at all, Qiu Min "Amway" again.

In the video, Qiu Min smiled very brightly, walking through the quiet trails of Qiyue Mountain, and captured the melancholy prosperity of late summer.

The popularity of this video is very high, and it is Qiu Min's second most popular work in the past three months.

The first place is "Chengjianghu" Jianghu Restaurant located in Nancheng District.

"Qiyue Mountain has just had a case, and the Criminal Investigation Bureau is busy with that case." Lan Qiao said, "All branches are cooperating in screening related disappearance cases."

Shen Nanhui misunderstood, "The Criminal Investigation Bureau can't move, so we won't report this case?"

Lan Qiao shook her head, "No, Qiu Min is familiar with Qiyue Mountain, and the time of his disappearance is also a bit strange, so he must report it, at least let Team Ming know about it."

The female police squadron of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Dongcheng Branch is a scenic spot in the police circle of Dongye. Mingshu and Lan Qiao are in the same class, and they have always admired this woman very much. She was rejected by Lan Qiao on the grounds that she couldn't let go of the female police squadron.

Mingshu has always felt a little regretful about this matter.

The serious crime team needs elites. Currently, the team is full of men, which has advantages and disadvantages. In an environment where everyone is of the same sex, everyone does not need to worry too much about everything. If there is a sudden addition of a woman to the team, both parties They may not be able to let go, but when investigating some special cases, it is very troublesome if there is no female police officer in the team. Lan Qiao's quality is excellent. If she is a policewoman, then she is naturally the best candidate.

But he wanted to lead the female police squadron well, so Mingshu could only respect his decision.

Because of Qiu Min's case, Lan Qiao personally came to the serious case team.

Ming Shu is talking to Yi Fei - Yi Fei found out at Zijiao Branch Campus of Dongye University that Zhan Li is not an ordinary student. He participated in the National Women's Martial Arts Competition in college and entered the top [-].

Lan Qiao waited for a long time before Ming Shu hurried over and jokingly said, "Rare guest, don't suddenly figure it out and plan to join our serious crime team?"

Lan Qiao smiled and said, "I know you've been busy with the Qiyueshan case recently. I have a disappearance case here. Our squadron is still investigating it, but I think you need to take a look."
